Them ere Legs.

A son of the Granite State went
down to the city of Memphis to
seek his fortune. lie found instead
a diarrhGa, which gradually saps
lite with a chronic form.
1t was with this that poor Joe
Bagley was pickedup. Andmonth
after month it tugged until at
length he was but the outline of
his former, q perfect skeleton.
a worthy minister saw the poor
fellow, and seeing that the king of
terror had spotted him, determined
to call on him and administer spir-
itual consolation. IIebroached the
important subject somewhere thus:
"My dear Mr.. BagIcy, in view of
your relations with this life, how
do you fecl?'
"D-n Sick,' was the prompt
reply.
"Don't swear my poor FRIEND"
said the parson; "and let me ask
you ifyou ever think Of your latter
end"
"Lord..' said Bagley, 81 haint
thought on anything else for MORN
three months"
"Not, am afraid, in the right
way, Mr.. Bagley | beg you to
pause and reflect. 1t is time you
begin 70 wrestle with the Lord"
The sick man looked down at
his miserable poker legs, extended
before him, and with an express
sion ofwild amazcmcnt in his coun-
tcnancc, eXclaimcd;
"Rastle with the Lord. What,
with them ere legs pointing to
his own. "Why, parson, he'd flip
me to HI the very first pass"
The parson gave him up as a
hardened sinner.

Greek Meets Greek.

The Southern people are drilling
the niggers to meet, in deadly COM
bat, the Republicans whoarc going
South to cocrce the seceders. What
a conflict it will be. In case Of re-
sistancc on the part of the niggers,
will our Republican freedom shriek-
ers shoot them down? Why gen.
tlemen, if you kill the niggcrs your
capital will be gone, and your par.
ty will sink, never to rise again.
Do not be rash and murder the on
Iy beings that give life to your or
ganization. Do not stain your
hands with their blood. If they do
not care for your sympathy, that is
their freedom, do not murder them
for exercising it, since you have
boasted so much about freedom,
free homes" &c.

Distinguished Mechanics,

One of the best editors the West
minister Rcricr could ever boast of,
and one of the most brilliant wri-
tors Of the passing hour, was an
Aberdeen cooper. One of the edi-
tors Of the London Daiy Journal
was an Elgin baker; perhaps one
OF the best reporters of the London
Times was an Edinburg weaver;
the editor of the Witness was Hugh
stone mason. One of the
ablest ministers in London was a
Dundee Blacksmith, and another
was Bantf matchmaker. The late
DR.. Milne, of China, was a Rhine
herd boy. The principal of the
London Missionary Society's Col
lege at HIoHg Kong was a Huntley
saddler; and one Of the best mis-
sionaries that ever went to India
was a Keith tailor. The leading
machinist on the London and Biz
mingham Railway was a Glasgow
mechanic, and perhaps the very
richest iron founder in England
was a Moray working man. Sir
James Clark, her Majesty's physi-
sian was Banff druggist. Joseph
Hume was a sailor first, and then q
laborer at a mortar and pestle in
Montrosc. These men, however,
spent their leisure hours in acquir-
ing useful knowledge Scientific
american.

The Coolest Thing on Record-An In
cident Of the Eaxlcan War

AS General SCOTS army was
marching trinmP!sently into the
city Of Mexico, a procession of
monks emerged from the gate of a
convent situated on the cmincnce
at the right, and advanced with
slow and measured tread until they
met the army at right angles. The
guide or leader Of the procession
was a venerable priest whose hair
was whitcncd with the frosts of
many winters. lie held in both
hands a contribution box, upon
which there was a lighted candle,
and when within a few feet of the
army the procession halted. As
the army proceeded, many true
believer in st. Patrick dropped
some small coin or other into the
old priests box, And when it
was observed that a soldier was
searching in his pocket for some
thing to bestow, the old priest
would step forward and hold his
box to receive the donation. Ulti-
mately there came along a tall,
gaunt, timber sided, gander-lool-
ing Yankee, who, on seeing the
poor priest, thrust his hands
into the very depths Of his breeches
pockets, as if in search for d dime,
or something of the kind, the priest,
obscrvingthis movement, advanced
as usual, while Jonathan, drawing
forth greesy looking roll Of paper,
commenced very deliberately un-
folding it. The old priest antici-
pated ii liberal donation, and put
on an air Of the most exquisite sat
isfaction. Jonathan continued to
unroll piece after piece of dirty pa
per, until at last he found a piece
of tri-twisted smoking tobacco. He
next thrust his hand into another
pocket, and drew forth clay pipe,
which with the utmost deliberation
he proceeded to fill it by pinching
off small PARTICLES of the tobacco.
When this was done, having re-
placed his tobacco in his bteeches
pocket, he stepped forward and
lighted his pipe by the old priests
candle, and making an awkward
inclination Of the head, Gntended,
perhaps, for a bow,) he said, "NLuch
obleeged to ye, Squire" and pro-
ceeded on.

in playing cards in the cabin,
among whom were Hugh Scott,
son of DR.. Scott, Of this city, for

back Of Helena. A dispute arose,
during which the two above men-

ing a pistol and shooting Govan.-
The ball took effect in the left eye,
passing entirely through his head,
producing instant death. The

leading from the main deck, and
succeeded in attaining the shore,
since which time he has not been
seen. The occurrence produced
the widest excitement at Helena,
and several boats had been stopped
by the citizens Of that place, in
hopes that he might be arrested,
but without success. The body of
