OLD JOKE.

'Tis very ancient saying,
Time till now has proved it true:
"Do unto all your neighbors
As you would have them do to you"
But another saying now prevails,
OF an entirely different hue:
"Be sure and do your neighbors,
Or they'll certainly DO you"

BAPTISM IN Hoops At Chicaco las,

BAPTISM IN HOoPs.-At Chicago last
weel, a'ather amusing scene took place du-
ring the baptism of young lady by the pas
tor OF the tabernacle. The Union saws :
The minister requested her to assume the
dress peculiar to such an occasion, but she
declined to take off her hooped skirt. The
minister told her of the Inconvenience
that must result from her obstinacv, ont
she persisted. When she came to descend
into the bath the inflated skirt touched
the water and rose up around her like a
balloon. Her head was lost to the conrre-
cation she was swallowed up in the swell
ing skirt; the minister tricl to force her
down into the bath, but she was kent
above the floating properties of her dress.
and Was buoyed up so successfully that it
was not until after much difficulty and
many torcibie attempts to submerge the la
dy that the minister succeeded in baptising
the fair one. Finally it was effected. to
the relief OF the seriously inclined audi
ence, who could not keep from laughin" in
their pocket-handkerchiefs.

CLOSED For REPAIRs.-A good one is
told of old Judge l. His Honor
ke2. 4 demiiohn Of good old Jamaica in
his private Office, for his own comfort aud
the entertainment ofhi particular friends.
The old Judge had noticed for some time
that his Jamaica was considerably lighter
than he left it on Saturday night An
other fact had gradually established itself
in his mind. His son Sam was missing
from the paternal pew in church on Sun
days. Oae Sunday afternoon Sam came
In and went upstairs rather heavily, when
the Judge hailed him:
.'Sanl, where have you been ?"
"To church, sir, was the prompt reply.
"What church, Sam:'
"Second Methodist, sir
"Had good sermon, Sam ?"
"Nery powerful, sir; it quite staggered
me, sir
"Ah. I see" said the Judge, "quite
powerful, Ell, Sam"
The next Sunday the son came home
rather earlier than usual, and apparently
not SO much ''undcr the weather." His
father hailed him with
"Wcll, Sam, been to the Second Meth
ol.st' again to-day ?"
'Yes, sir"
"Good sermon, my boy ?"
''Fact was, father, that couldn't get
in; church shu. up and ticket on the door"
Sorry, Sam, keep going-you may get
good BY it yet
Sam says that on going to the Office for
his usual spiritual refreshment, he found
the John empty, and bearing the follow
ing: ''There viii be no service here to-day
this church being closed for repairs"

Praise Your Wife.

Praise your wife, man for PHYS sake

her you thank her, if nothing more. She
don't expect it, it viii make her eyes open
wider than they have for these ten years,
but il will do her good for all that, and
you too. There are many women to-day
thirsting for the word OF praise. the Ian
guage of encouragement. Through sum
mer's heat, and winters toll they nave
drudged uncomplainingly, and so accus-
toned have their fathers, brothers and hus-
bands become to their monotonous labor,
that they look for and upon them as they
do on the daily rising of the sun and its
daily going down. Homely, everyday life
may be made beautiful by an appreciation
Of its very homeliness. You know that If
the floor is clean, manual labor has been
performed to make it so. You know that
if you can take from your drawer clean
shirt whenever you want IT, somebody's
fiaeers have acied in the toll OF making It
SO fresil aud agreeable so smooth and lus
tr0us. Everything that pleases the eye
and the sense has been produced by con-
slant work, much thought greet care and
nntiring efforts, bodily al. mentally. 1t
Is not that many men do not appreciate
these things, and feel glow of gratitude
for tie numberIess attentions bestowed up
on them in sickness and in health, but they
are so selfish in that feeling. They don't
come out with hearty Why, how pleas

Speech of MIR. Morris.

The speech of Mr.. Morris, which may
be found in another place exhibits re
ireshIag contrast to the seryile harrangue
of his Democratic colleagues 1t has the
true anti-Lecompton ring in it, He de-
nounccd the President and the ultra South
ern Democrats without stint, charging them
with having torn the Popular Sovereignty
plank from the platform of the party, and
inserted the Dred Scott dogma in its stead.
He told the lire-caters to their teeth that
the Western Democracy would not submit
to new tests at Charleston. He scourged
the venerable occupant of the White House
most numerically, accusing him Of pursu-
ing those Democrats in Illinois who would
not how TO his behests, with hellish ma
lignity." Next to Col. Harris, now dead,
Mr.. Morris was the ablest, Goldest and
truest of the anti-Lecompton Democrats of
Illinois in the last House. Harris, in the
midst Of the great fight two years ago gave
his Leeompton brethren distinctly TO under
stand that he had parted company with
them forever. Morris seems 10 have no
disposition to abagdon his principles for the
sake of pleasing them.

Debate in Congress.
SPEECH OF AN ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT.


On Wednesday of last week Mr.. Morris,
a democratic Representative from Illinois,
made speech, in which lie denounced the
Administration and its pro-slavery policy,
with regard 20 slavery in the territories.
w, give below condensed Report:
Mr.. MORRIS referred TO remark
made by him at the last Congress, that if
the Democracy thought they could carry
themselves through The next canvass with
the Administration, they would break down
and would find they were carrying too much
weight. The Administration was full OF
rottpnness and dead mems bones, and had
no more afIi iation with the Democracy than
darkness with light. or virtue with vice.
The President had again thrust in our faces
his territorial policy. and had advanced sew
eral steps from his former position, which,
in all cslnsc encc, was bad enough. He was
amazed that the President had 50 far lost
sighi Of his duty rs to make so high hid
for The nomination of the Charleston Con-
ypnt:on. He knew him to be capable OF
any net for the qualification Of his private
malice. and of being guilty Of trcaehery 10
his friends ani principles. There was NO
necessity for twisting The question Of slavr-
~ in here. 1t was not before the House IN
any form, nor was it likely TO be this ses
