MORNING.

Hark the martin notes are ringing
outupon the balniy air;
Hark the village bells are Ginning,
Calling to tho house of prayer;
SEQ the modest vernal flowerets,
Dew-besprinkled, bright and gay;
How their azure petals groweth
In the light of early day.
Hear the carly birds are singing,
Sweetly singing on the air;
While the village bells are ringing,
Calling to the house of prayer,
Natures thousand tongues are bymning
Lays Of gratitude and loves
To the great AM that reigneth
In the blissful courts above.
o, how holy are those moments,
How sweetly floats upon the air
Those dear village chimes that calleth
To the holy house of prayer;
On the soul they fall, recalling
The great Founders high behost;
"For six days shalt thou do labor,
On the seventh thou shalt rest"

A SCENE IN CoURT.-The Warren
pennsylvania Mail gives the following
account of rather unusual occurrence
which took place in court at that place
last week: When Anna J. Clements
was brought in to be sentenced, Judge
Johnson proceeded to lecture her on the
crime Of larceny and give her some good
advice. She stood bold and defiant, fre-
queutly interrupting him with insolent re-
marks. Her black eyes fairly flashed fire
and vengeance. AS he closed with two
years sentence in the penitentiary, she
yelled out, "Can't you give me q longer
sentence, you id old -" and let
fly four or five stones one after tho other
like lightning. The Judges ducked their
heads and lodged, barely escaping hit.
Then she bounded like wildcat for tho
Judge, and actually got partly behind the
bench before she was seized and held,
while she yelled and struggled with the
strength of a strong man. We never saw
such desperation.

A SENSIBLE PRAYER.-The time has
long gone by when polemical disputants
can put each other down by calling hard
names. Luther and Calvin could indulge
in that sort of controversy without re-
proach, and, perhaps, with efIect--for it
was the fashion of the age. But the
world is wiser now, and DR.. Smith and
the Rev. Mr.. Brown must have something
better than epithets to do any serious dam
age to tho feeblest sect OF the most un-
popular creed. Nathaniel Howe, of Hop
kinton, an eccentric clergyman of the Cal
whistle school, once made IN ordination
prayer which contained the following val
liable hint rs to the best mode of dealing
with theological opponents:
40 Lord may Thy young servant
put down the Mcthodists, and Baptists,
and Episcopalians. and Universalists, by
preaching better, and praying better, and
hving better than theyl Amen"
