THE WEAK POINT.

One of Governor Corwn's pupgent witt.
csms, in his Brooklyn lecture, few days
since, was in contrasting" Young America
Of to-day with twenty years ngo. Said he =:
Children of the present day, who were
but three or four years old, thought them
selves endowed with more knowledge than
their fathers had fifty years ago. Sir F.
Bacon and Sir Isaac Newton, if they had
children, they We're born like other peoples
children, with gastric juice in their little
stomachs, clamoriDg and crying for milk
and it was so with respect to every other
animal. He would relate to them a Mo-
hammedan legend of the creation of man.
which would exemplify what that gastric
juice was. MOhamred had a way of carry
ing knowledge to three hundred millions Of
human beings. In order to get this knowl
edge of the creation of man, he mounted his
horse, which he called "Abbo Rock and
the horse galloped up with him to the third
heaven, and there he was told singular
things. Among others be was told ahou,
the creation of man, something similar to
what was found in the book of Genesis. but
not eractly the same. Laughter. lie then
learned that when God made men of red
clay, he set them up to dry, as our artists
model busts. Laughter, He sent for the Evil
Spirit to give Him his candid opinion about
him. He sent, He said, for His devil, who
was struck with admiration at so splendid a
work. The devil told Him it was the best
piece of workmanship he had ever seem
Laughter. But, said Mr.. Corwin, he (the
devil stepped up to the new made man
and touched him here, (pointing to his
stomach,) and said he, (the devil, not Mr..
Corwin,) sit sounds hollow here Laugh
teri Yes. ."sad the Maker. " that is the
place for the stomach" "Oh," said the
devil, 81 the stomach Will he thirst like
an ox?" Yes" "Hunger?" "Yes.'
"Well," said the devil, " it is here his weak
point is-Pll attack him here.' Great
laughter.l

"And you care this much about me, Cousiz

81 did not think you cared 50 much. an
very, very glad.'
She spoke so low, it was almost whisper
but suddenly clasping her hands, and hold:
ing one of his to her heart, she went on to
speak vehemensly, passionately-all her
assumed calmness gone.
II know that to you, SO noble, so true,
so good, seem but weak and erring child;
but do not think-oh! never think that all
your kindness can be by me forgotten, or
that my heart is not full of gratitude for
every gentle word you ever spoke, and
more than all, for telling me when was
wrong, which no one else besides has ever
done.
She would have spoken more but some-
thing in his face arrested her. His voice
sounded hoarse and unnatural.
"Alice, hush! You know not what you
do.'
A change came over her. She dropped
his hand, and with both her own pressed
tightly down upon her breast, rs though to
stay its beating, stood gazing on him with
wondering eyes and parted lips, from which
all shade Of color had faded.
He passed his hand across his forehead,
and turned from her.
"Alice, leave me!-in mercy leave me'
But she stood as though rooted to the
ground.
"Would to God loved her lessr' burst
from him like groan.
She heard it, and her lips moved, her
arms were stretched out to him one uDcer-
tain step forward, and she fell senseless at
his feet.
Cousin Jonathan did not leave town that
day. Captain Ray did
When the winter was coming, Lecomte
had its master back again, but he did not
come alone. Alice lived happy woman,
for she had one ever with her who could
guide her right, and sometimes she used to
call him Cousin Jonathan.

Stewart that the unissued bonds authorized
by the Constitution be given to the Rail-
road, to aid in their completion"
The New York Erening Post of the same
