A SUB.CLERICAL ScAPEGRAcE.-Many
good stories are told of DR.. Lawson, a
PRESBYTERIAN minister in Scotland, who
was so absent-mindcd that he was some.
times quite inScnsible to the world around
him. One of his sons, who afterwards
became highly esteemed Christian min
lister, was very tricky boy, perhaps
mischievouS in his tricks. Near the
manse lived an old woman, Of Grabbed
temper and rather ungodly in her mode Of
living. She and the hoy had quarreled,
and the result was that he took n quiet
opportunity to kill one Of her hens. She
went Immediately to DR.. Lawson, and
charged his son with the deed. She was
believed, and as it was not denied, punish
ment inflicted. He was ordered to abide
in the house and to make the sentence
more severe his father took him into his
study and commanded him to sit there
with him. The son was restless, and fire.
quentlv eyed the door. At last he saw
his father drowned in thought. and quiet
ly slipped out He went directly to the
old woman's and killed another hen, re-
turning Immediately and taking his place
in the library, his father having never
missed him. The woman speedily made
her appearance, and charged the slAugh.
ter again upon him. DR.. Lawson, how
ever, waxed angFy-dec!sTeda her 20 &c .
false accuser. as the boy had been closited
with him all the time adding: "Besides,
this convinccs me that You had just as
little ground for your first accusation; |
therefore scquit him Of both. and he may

high dudgeon and the prisoner in high

Nor A FALuRE.-President Lincoln's
very singular tAStsgNeNt that volunteering
had proved inadequate to Gil our armies,
is rather too much for even the more can
did Republican papers. The Commercial
Advertiser well says in reply:
1--WE have never thought that the sys.
TEN of volunteering had been exhausted
or had proved inadequate. Once or twice
when in full tide of success, the govern.
ment has stopped it. Last year four hun
dred thousand men out of the six hundred
called for were raised in a very short time.
In New Jersey the quota is being rapidly
made up. By the operation of bounties,
volunteers may be had in any reasonable
numbers Had the system been urgently
put in practice early in the spring, as
many volunteers would be in the army by
the trSt Of December as the draft will
furnish of conScriptS."
The New York World thus comments
on the above:
The Commercial might have added that
the volunteers would have fought willing
ly, while the conScripts will always fight
under protest. II is very clear that it is
not soldiers the Administration is after so
much as the po~er to command the SER
vices of the citizens, without refer ence to
the State authorities. In a word, the aim
is to destroy the States. and put absolute
power in Mr.. Lincoln's hands. That is
why volunteers were not called for when
they were needed, and draft is now in.
sisted upon after great victories have re.
lieved our armies Of all pressure.

Men ana Women COntrastsd.

Men have talent, but women have tact;
men accomplish much by great exertions,
but women move the world by unseen in
fluence, and by work which neither shows
nor exhausts. 1t is admitted that women
are better judges of character than men
and this conceive is partly owing to ths
fact that in their instructive judgment the
question Of morality has greater Influence
on the judgment than with men. A wo-
man cannot give you reasons for her de-
ciSiOns, but they are generally correct a;
man will Oyeywhelm you ~ith reasons
in favor Of erroneous conclusions.
Women have. all, many nf the prOmi.
nent traits and qualities which make up
what We call genius in men. The great
poets, artists, even conquerors, had oil
the woman's side Of their nature strongly
developed and it has often been observed
that almost every really great man owed
his best points Of character, those which
made him powerful, to the mother.
Women live by faith; men live by
works. Women believe; men wait for
proof Mary went to the grave to seek
the risen Saviour; but Thomas must lay
his finger in the wounds before his stub
born doubts gave way.
Men are ready for a change; the NOM
adic nature is strong within them. Wo-
men suffer by change; they do not bear
transplanting we'll. Men are like dogs
they have regard for persons women
are like cats, who have strong affection
for places. 1t would have been trihe
for man to say to the widowed Naomi
what Ruth said and he who forgets this
misses half the noble sublimity of her
faithful sacrifice.
These differences arc radical and char
acteristic. They are not the effect of ed
ucation or training, but Unborn. There
are others which may be set on the ac-
count Of woman's physical weakness
and here comes in her peculiar viccs.-
Women are cunning, which is the fault
Of weuk men also. They nbhor the sight
Of blood more than men do !; though this
instinct is strong also in men, and even
leads the pirate to force his victims to
walk the plank in preference to shoot
ing or stabbing them. So the women
bent on murder oftentimes use poison :;
and the most notorious poisoners haze
been women. The crimes Of women are
general, caused either by love, jealousy,
or vanity; those Of men by covetousncss,
ferocity and reck lesSness Of character. -
The women display more cunning and
ingenuity in their commission; the man.
inferior animal that he is, works here, as
in everything else, by main strength and
stupldness. The woman, with doubtless
greater temptations, contributes vastly
lever to the number Of criminals than
the man and it has been noticed in Eng
land, as well as here, that of reformed
criminals the greater number are women
and this in spite Of the fact that it is much
more difficult for woman, once fallen,
than for man to recover place in so
ciety. Nor should We omit to notice here
the fact, than in many countries acts hav e
been counted criminal in woman which
were not noticed in men. Thus sean! !al-
mongery, qnarrelSomeneSs, and scolding,
were punishable once all over Europe in
women; and how many hundred have
suffered for the imaginary crime Of witch
craft Philadelphia Paper.

ANCIENT CITIEs.-A curious discovery
of ancient cities is recently reported. 1t
is stated that among the mountains To
the northeast Of Antioch, in Syria, cities
of early times have been found, aband-
doned, but not in ruins, except as the
buildings have fallen in the slow decay
which tine and storm make necessary
1t is suggested that these cities are Of the
period of the early part Of the Christian
era, and that the inhabitants abandoned
them at the time Of the MOhammcdan
invasion. We must await further ac.
counts before we can place implicit conf
dence in these stories, or believe that
they are indeed discoveries Of ruins hith-
erto unknown. The ntighburhood Of
Antioch was the most wealthy and per-
haps the most populous portion Of the
Roman Empire in the later years of its
glory aud decline. and we have long been
familiar with many of the remains of that
splendor. 1t is not impossible that trav-
ellers, who are unfamiliar with the his.
tory OF these, have imagined the ruins on
which they have stumbled to be some
thing unknown to the modern world, and
have exaggerated the perfection in which
they state that they have found them
The East aSoundS in ruins Of old cities,
vastly more in number than the ordinary
reader imagnes. Nevertheless, there
are doubtless many yet to be decovered.
The world is burial place OF nations.-
In times like these, when national ruin
seems impending, there is a special inter
est to American in studying the fate of
those who have gone before US on carth's
surface. We are not immortal. Our ma
tional existence, if preserved, must be
preserved by virtue, and by faithful ad-
herence to the true principles of govern
ment. The monuments ofruined nation.
atty, scattered here and there over the
earth's surface, should be a constant
warning to US who live in the later years,
to stand by our ancient and true princi-
pie. Let US not be Seduced by Spccious
arguments into abandoning the path to
strength, security aud true national life.
Let us not be induced by any pleas of
temporary necessity to place in the hands
of any man or class of men, the liberties
which we are sworn to preserve for lu.

ARNING SLAvEs.-The Administration,
loyal papers inform US. ais progressing
rapidly in arming the slaves" 1t is a
mischievous and brutal policy, and must
result disastrously. Our own history,
and the best writers on international law,
forbid the measure. But what care the
Abolitionists for reason. law or humanity?
John Quincy Adams wrote. when the
British attempted to arm our slaves, that
to enlist slaves to fight against their mas.
ters was as bad as to poison wells or to
murder prisoners in cold blood; and
proud Britain acknowledged the impeach
ment. We are making history, and its
darkest pages, unrelieved by a single re-.
deeming feature, will be the record of the

A LION. N.KILLER-The Mabacher of
COnstaotitsa, A gcria, states that the miH
tary commandant of that district has Just
presented a handsome double. .barrr4ed
gun to n young Arab, named Mohammcd
ben Djafar as an acknowledgment of the
skill aud courage which he had shown in
the destruction of lions. Although only
twenty-five years Of age, he has already
killed twenty-one lions without receiving
any personal injury. A few weeks since
the inhabitants of donar at some dis.
tance from his residence requested him to
come and kill lion which had ravaged
their fockS. He went accordingly, but
during his absence lioneSs killed an OK
belonging to his father, Ali ben Djafar,
who had himself when young, killed six
teen lions, but had been Obliged to re-
linquish the sport for sume years past as
he had lost the use of his left arm through
injuries he had received from q Bit. bv
the last lion he had encountered. Not
withstanding he was thus crippled, the
old man collected his friends, and went in
pursuit Of the lionesS. which they soon
found, aud Ali, holding his gun with one

severely. The lioness sprung on him,
and was tearing him with her teeth when
his companions came up, and she fled in
to the woods Young MOhammed re-
turned next day, and went to look for
the lioness, accompanied by his cousins.
While they were beating thickct, the
animal suddenly attacked one of the
Young men, knocked him down and seiz-
ed him with her teeth. Mohnmmed, hear
ing the mans cries, hastened to the spot,
but fearing he might hurt his cousin if he
fred from distance, he went close up
and struck her with the muzz'e of his
gun. The lioness then looscd her hold to
look at her new assailant, who Immediate
ly shot her dead. AS soon as this feat
became known to the French authorities,
Mohammed was colnplimentcd with his
daring, and received the present above
mentioned. 1t appears that nearly his
whole family have been successful lion
killers, for it is known that within very
few years they have SLAIN seventy light.
