THE POWER OF SPEECH.

The following pleasing anecdote is related
of the celebrated travelling preacher, George
Whitefeld:
"In the early part of his life. Mr.. Whitefeld
was preaching in an open field, when a drum
mer happened to be present, who was deter.
mined to interrupt his pious business, and
rudely beat his drum in violent manner in
order to drown the preachers voice. MIR.
White6eld, who spoke very loud, bore it as
long as he could, but was compelled at last to
beat retreat. He therefore called out to the
drummer in these words: Friend, you and
l serve the two greatest masters existing, but
in different callings; you beat up for voun-
teers for King George |, for the Lord Jesus.
In Gods name, then, let us not interrupt
each other. the world is wide enough for
both. and we may get recruits in abundance y
This speech had such an effect on the drum
mer that he went away in great good hum1r,
and left the preacher in fnllpossession Of the
field

CASE OF CONSCIENCE.

The widow of Mr. John Il. Sayre, former
" grocer at the corner of Market and Bea-
yer streets, Newark, n. j.. and subsequently
ON Railroad avenue, was waited upon one
evening last week by gentleman who han
ded her roll of bills, amounting to STAY,
stating that they were from an employee OF
her husband several years since, who. while a
boy. had taken that sum from the drawer at
various times in small amounts. The gentle
man refused his name or that Of the young
man, merely stating that it was an act of re,
stitution. The money was mostly in Is and
2s and bore the appearance of having been
accumulated gradually. The restorer is UNI
known. but it is supposed he was one OF the
subjects of the religious revival last winter
and that he has been since saving the money
in order to clear his conscience ofguilt.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY IL. 1859
4 NEW GAME.

In the vicinity of West Alexander. Va,
number of neighbors have been in the habit
of attending for some time, social PARTIES
got up something after the order of the free
love gatherings. Among those who took Il
lively interest in these suiables were MIR.
and Mrs. George Carsner, a Miss Cnrtiss,
and Mr.. Nav. Bv way Of killing time, II
new game was introduced at these parties,
called the Shanghai game, which Is descrIb-
ed as follows.
One of the gentlemen mounts chair, flaps
his arms like a rOOster, and crows Justify
The first lady detected laughing at this r'di-
culous action, is pursued by the Shanghai
and race ensues, continuing till the female
is overtaken, which by arrangement, the
pursuer does not succeed in doing till she has
run some distance from the house. This
game was played for long time with huge
success, and at last an intimacy sayoring at
least of improperly, grew out of 1t. Geo.
Carsner became exceedingly fond of Miss
Curtiss. and every time he crowed, she was
sure to laugh. This kind of thing didn't
suit Mrs. Carsnef, and in order to retaliate
upon her faithless husband, she got to laugh
ing to the crow Of Mr.. May.
Things went on thus until a few days ago,
when Mrs. c. suddenly disappeared with
May, leaving three children at home. About
the same time her husband ran away with
Miss Curtiss, and the children are thus en-
tirely deserted and alone. This disgracetul
business has excited, as it should, great in
dignation, and tar and feathers are freely
limited, if an opportunity should occur for
the application of these articles. The Shan
ghai game is in bad repute

RUSSIA AND THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

Biblical geographers point to the Lake
Ian, in Northern Armenia, and now Il
Russian possession, as the spot where once
was situated the paradise lost by the fau 1t of
Adam and Eve. Indo-European theorists,
especially Benson, located the cradle of the
race (or the primitive Eden in Northern
Asia. 1t occupied all the present western
and part of eastern Siberia, extending
from 40 degrees to SO degrees latitude, and
from 90 degrees to 100 degrees longitude
The Arctic ocean, at that time as pleasant
as the Mediterranean, with the Ural noun
tains as islands, was the northern boundary.
