A Short Clergyman.

A few miles below Poughkeepsie, NJ.
Y, there lives, and has lived for several
years past, worthy clergyman, man,
however, very short in stature. Upon
certain Sunday about eight years ago, this
clergyman was invited by the pastor Of q
church IN that village to fill his pulpit for
the day. The invitation was accepted,
the Sunday morning saw Min the
pulpit. Now it happened that the pulpit
was very high one, and accordingly near
y hid the poor little clergyman from view.
However, the congregation, out Of respect
managed to keep their countenance, and
with over pious faces, seemed religious.
" anxious for the text They we're not
obliged to wait long, for nose and two
little eyes suddenly appeared over the top
Of the pulpit, and squeaking, tremulous
voice proclaimed in nasal tones this text:
"Be of good cheer; it is I, be not
afraid"
A general roar of laughter followed the
announcement; the clergyman became con-
fused and turned allsorts of colors. MANY
in the general uproar, left the church;
and it was a long time before the minister
was enable to proceed with the sermon, so
abruptly broken on.
Afternoon came, and the little man,
standing on a footstool, had fair view of
the audience. The text was announced in
due form: ga little while ye shall see
me, and little while and ye shall not see
me-"
In the course of his sermon he repeated
his text with great earnestness, and step
ping back, lost his elevated footing, and
disappeared from his hearers! The effect
may be more readily imagined than de-
scribed.

THE LIFE CLOCK.
A. w BATENIAN.

There is a mystic little clock,
No human eye hath SEEM.
That beateth on, and beateth on,
From morning until cen.
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
And heareth not sound,
1t ticks and ticks the livelong night,
And never runneth down.
How wondrous is that work of art
Which knells the parting hour,
But art meier formed, nor mind conceived
The life-clock's magic power.
Nor set in gold, nor decked with gems,
BY wealth and prince possessed;
But rich or poor, or high or low,
Each bears it in his breast.
When life's deep stream, mid beds ofAowers
And still and softly glides,
Like the wavelet's step, with gentle beat
1t warns of passing tides.
When threat ming darkness gathers DER,
Z And hope's bright visions flee,
Like the sullen stroke of the mufled oar,
1t beateth heavily.
When passion nerves the warriors arm
For deeds of bate and wrong,
Though needed not the fearful sound,
The kneil is deep and strong.
Such is the clock that measures life,
OF flesh and spirit blended,
And thus twill run within the breast,
Till that strange life is ended.

The Dead Editor.

A paper in neighboring State, after
giving a long obituary % deceased brother
Of the quill, thus in glowing strains con-
cludes: "Are we not glad, also, that such
an editor is in heaven? There the cry of
"more copy" shall never be heard
There he shall never be abused any
more by his political antagonist, with lies
and detractions that should shame demon
to promulgate. There he shall mo more be
used as a ladder for the aspiring to kick
down as they reach the desired height and
need him no more. There be shall be
able to see the immense masses Of mind
he has moved, all unknoWingly and un-
known as he has been during his weary
pilgrimage on earth. There be will find
all articles credited, and not clap of
his thunder stolen--and there shall be no
horrid Typographical errors to set him in .
fever. We are glad the editor is in hea-
ven." 1893

SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY,
On the Abolition Of Slavery in the District o
Columbia

In the United States Senate, February /, 1889.
And now, Mr.. President, allow me te
consider the several cases in which the
authority Of Congress is invoked by these
Abolition petitioners upon the subject Of
domestic slavery. The first relates to il
as it exists in the District of Columbia
The following is the provision Of the Con.
stitution Of the United States in reference
to that matter a.
"The exercise Of exclusive legislation in
all cases whatsoever over such District mot
exceeding ten miles square) as may by
cession Of particular States, and the accep-
tance Of Congress, become the seat of gov
eminent of the United States"
This provision preceded, in point Of
time, the actual cessions which were made
by the States of Maryland and Virginia.
The object of the cession was to establish
seat of government of the United
States, and the grant in the Constitution Of
exclusive legislation must be understood,
aud should always be interpreted, as hav-
ing relation to the object of the cession. ~
IT was with full knowledge Of this clause
In the Constitution that the two States &C.
dod to the general government the ten
miles square, constituting the District Of
Columbia. In making the cession, they
supposed that it was to be applied solely,
to the purposes Of aseat of government,
for which IL was asked. When it was
