John PhGMix lIl the Indies Car.

John Pb9aix, the inimitable wit, thus
tells an incident connected with ride on
tho New York Centeral Railroad. He re.
j lates it in letter in the Knickerbocker Mag.
asine, and puts it on record to servo as
caution to future innocent travellers. He
says:
II had observed at each change Of the
cars, and they were frequent, when the gen.
eral scramble took place, one car was dc.
Tended from the assault by a stalwart man,
usually of stalwart persuasions. who, deaf
to menaces, unsoftened by bribes, maintain.
ed his pos! for the b.neGt Of the leddies. {"
"Leddies, car, cir, av you please, ferrod car
for gentlemen without leddies."
"Need say that this car was the most
comfortable of the train, and with the. stern
resolve which ever distinguished me in the
discharge of my duty toward myself, de.
termned to get into it. So when we chang.
ed cars at Utica l rushed forth and seeing q
nice young person and pretty face. urging
her way through the crowd, | stepped up to
her sido, end, with my native grace and
galantry, offered my arm and assistance
They we're gracefully accepted, and, proud
OF my success, / urged my fair charge upoa
the platform of the leddies' car. My old on.
emy was holding the door"
sis this your lady, sir :"
"With an inward apology to Mrs. Pbo.
nix for the grea, injustice done to her
charms, replied 'yes.' Judge of my horror
when this low employee of monopolizing
company, said, with the tone and manner o!
an old acquaintance
well, Sal, guess you've done we'll,
4 but don't think his family will thin
much of the match"

he wore that cross on his coat, and he decid.
ed to efface it that evening himself, of bis
own accord. The following Monday he
went at an early hour to the house Of his
landlord with the rent for the week in hand.
"Ah, ah, Robert ~ said Mr.. Taylor, as
soon as be saw him 81 thought you would
repent Of your bargain before long. This is
good lesson for envious and impatient
characters who are constantly complaining
"CaIl to mind oil that has happened, Mr.
Hope, and remember that He who has crea'

back Of each one Of US. Do not complain o

WhIpP:H Osa Grit"

"Heroism nateralizej," is cnpital def
milton of grit, and with that Whipple COM
menced his lecture on the subject. In a brief
report in the Courier we read: "Of the
various types of the grain of character he
gave the numerous illustrations, speaking OF
that which, slashing through all "Propriety,"
and telling only plain and honest truth, was
termed impoite and unsenteel, of thnt which
became at once great social power. AS
the importance OF this quality in the business
relations OF life, he affirmed that the perfec-
ton of the trait in this field was to be found
in the power of saying no! under any and
all circumstances. The iron like tenacity
the man of grit holds on to the successful
end. In regard to public life and the i'm.
portance of this quality in politics, it was
well known that backbone without brains
was stronger than brains without backbone,
and the motto Of political life-instead OF
being "measures, not men," or "men, not
measures"-shoud be "measures in men,"
In speaking of John C.. Calhoun, he ex.
pressed the belief that that eminent states
man had stamped his individual mind upon
the policy of our government more definitely
than any man since Hamilton. He was a
man whose audsc city walked abreast with his
genius. He was ever ready to meet oppo-
nents in argument, and effected revolution
in the mind of the South ss remarkable as
II was beneficial. The. speaker thus pro.
ceeeed at considerable length in his high
and eloquent estimate Of grit, as exhibited
in all positions and conditions Of life. and
throughout com me nded the close attention
and interest Of his auditors. ..

The Sequel.


Our readers have all heard the story Of
soaping the clereymun's tii:hcrn at camp
mseting-so that when he went to c>lt the
congregation together, he blew "soft SosP"'
over his brother clergymeh, and how he exc
claimed:
"Brethren, I have served the Lord thirty
years and in that ime have never uttered
profsne word, but I'll be id II can't
whip the man that souped that horn: 7"
Our renders, we soy, have all heard this.
but have perhaps never heard the sequel 90
given US yesterday by gentleman present.
Some two days after, a tall, swarthy, vii.
lainOus-Iooking desperado, strolled on the
grounds and leaned against tree, listening
to the eloquent exhortatioa 10 repent, which
was being made BY the preacher. After .
while he became interested, finally affected,
and then took position on the anxious seat,
and with his face between bis hands CON.
menced groanins in "the very bitterness"
Of his sorrow. The clergyman walked
down and endeavored to console him. No
consolation-he was too great a sinner, he
said. Oh, no; there was 7 ardon for the vii.
est. No; he was too wicked--there was no
mercy fer him.
"Why, what crime have you committedr'

"Worse-oh, worse than that!"
"Murder, is it!" gOsped the Mortified

Wait.

OF course it is very hard to wait. No
matter whether you have to wait in certain
ty or in doubt; whether in the fulflIment Of
promise, or the arrival Of "ship.load OF
money" waiting is tedious, and one feels
that patience is q virtue. ..
Young Hopeful cannot wit for dinner. and
spoils his appetite and digestion with apples.
and bread and butter. Older grown, he can
not wait for his majority, and borrows. Tell
people to wait, and they answer that life il
all waiting, that they have waited long
enough and waiting makes fools. Yet watt
Ing is the school for moral strength; the
grondest achievements have to be waited
for. Small minds !are always fzzling aud
leaking, so when the time comes. they are
found either stale or empty. London Times.

Self Evidently Drunk.

Old Judge -, who resides not very
far about here, is known as one who never
pays debt if it cen be avoided. Has plen'
ty of money. however, and is sjolly, rolick
ing old chap. Gets pretty drunk, occasion
ally, when. OF course, some friends take care
OF him. Not long ago he fell into the hands
of man who held bis note for a sum o
money, and as it was last, chance, the friend
dved into the old Judges wallet, took ou'
the amount, and put,the note where the mo-
ney had been. When the Judge awoke to
cons cousness, as was his wont, he took ou'
his wallet to count how much money he
was out. Finding his purse almost empty
he thundered: ta
"How did I spend all my moneys"
"You paid off that note held" answered
the friend.
"Well," muttered the Judge, quietly stow
ing away his wallet. II must have been very

The Unity of the Bib!c:

AS in Beeihoven's matchless music there
runs one ides, worked out through all the
changes Of measure and of key-now almost
hidden, now breaking out in rich natural
melody, whispered in the treble, murmured
in the bass, dimly suggested in the prelude,
but growing clearer and clearer as the work
proceeds, winding gradually back till it ends
in the key in which it began, and closes in
triumphant harmony-so throughout the
whole Bible there runs one great idea -
mans ruin by sin, and his redemption by
grace; in word. Jesus Christ tho Saviour.
This runs through the Old Testument, that
prelude to the New; dimly promised at the
fall, and more clearly to Abraham; typified
in the ceremonies of the law; ell the events
of sacred history paving tho way for his
coming; his descent proved in the gencalo-
gies of Ruth and Chronicles; spoken of as
Shiloh by Jacob, as the Star by BaiaaH, as
Prophet by Moses; the David Of the Psslmsi
the Redeemer looked for by Job; the Below,
ed of the Song of Songs. We find him in
the sublime strains of the lofty Isaiah, in
the writings OF the tender Jeremiah, in the
mysteries of the contempla;ive Ezekiel, in
tho visions of the beloved Daniel, ths grest
idea growing clearer and clearera as the time
drew on. Then the full harmony broke ou
in the song of the angels. Iory to God ir
the highest, and Oh earth peace. good viii
toward men," And evangelists and apos'
ties taking up the theme, the strain closes
in the same key in which it begqn--the
devil. who troubled the fret paradise, forever
excluded from the second; man restored tc
the favor of God, and Jesus Christ the key
note of the whole. - TAILOR.

Montague made it, as it were, business
to think at his castle. He was ever on the

would suddenly strike him in the family part
OF his house, and he would often, not having
his tablets at hand, hurry across the court
and climb his tower, in order to set il down.
