Two VIEWS OF THE CAsE.-Judge c.,
q. S. Senator from Vermont, related to us a
good anecdote the other day, illustrative of
Abolitionism. The morning he was leaving
home to enter upon his duties in this city,
a straight-faced deacon who looked upon
the whole South as a great pandemonium,
called on him, and said
"Now, Judge, want you to do all in your
power to abolish slavery" "
"Well," said the Judge, how shall
proceed ?"
"Oh, don't know; but you must abolish
it. It's a damnable curse, and must be
abolished; you know more about it than /
do. The church is my stronghold, but you
understand national matters, Judge, and can
devise some plan, and know it." % A.
"The only way l see to abolish it, said
the Judge, ais to buy up ali the slaves and
set them free"
well, go in for that; have q law passed
that the North shall buy them, and then this
trouble will end. Yes, you go in strong for
that, Judge" .At
"Just as you say, Deacon. l will agree
to it in moment, and will stand my share
of the expense. Here is Woodstock, with
three hundred inhabitants, and this town
would be called on for about six hundred
thousand dollars-and will urge it before
the Senate" -.-.aa
The good deacon opened his mouth, then
his eyes, allowed his tongue to escape from
one corner of his mouth, scratched his head,
and tapped impatiently on the floor with his
foot. AS the Judge was leaving the room,
the deacons power of speech came to him,
and he Immediately called out:
"Oh, say, Judge, guess you'd better
let slavery alone. The poor black devils are
better off in the South than up here in this
cold climate Exchange

I'm notifed-fair neighbor mine
BY one of orr Profession,
That this--the Term of Valentine

Permit me, therefore, to report
Myself, on this occasion,
Quite ready to proceed to Court.
And File my Declaration
I've an attachment for you, too;
legal and a strong one
O, Weld unto the Process, do;
Nor let it be a long one.
No scowIing baiiiff turks behind
He'd be precious noddy,
Who, failing to Arrest the mind,
Should go and Take the Body.
For though form like yours might throw
A sculptor in distraction
I couldn't serve Capias-no-
I'd scorn so base an Action.
o, do not tell me of your youth,
And turn away demGreIy;
For, though you're very young, in truth,
You're not an infant, surely
The Case is everything to me;
My heart is loves own tissue;
Don't plead Dilatory Plea;
Let's have the General Issue
Or, since you've really no Defense,
Why not, tn is present Session,
Omitting all absurd pretence,
Give Judgment by Confession ..
So shall you be my lawful wife;
And I-your faithful lover
Be Tenant of your heart for Life,
With no Remainder overi =.
