There is good reason to believe that
when Miss Columbia, in imitation of
Miss Pharaoh, tished among the bull
rushes and Shiny waters of Southern
plebianism for n little Moses, she slung
out young crocodile instead. He is a
himself Moses. He craunches and
gulps down whatever stands in his
way, without any signs of mercy, yet
is always prepared to shed tears to
order.
Men have wcpt in nll ages, Jacob
wept when he kissed Rachel. Joseph
fell upon the necks of his brethren and
wept, when they came to Egypt for
bread. Andrew johnson wept wien his
hungry recruits camo to Philadelphia
for bread and butter. No doubt he
wept copiOusly. Aye, who knows but
that he had been for weeks checking

nues by which the surplus water es-
cnpes from the system, in order to save
upn regular delugo of brine against
the momentous OCCASION?
There Is noaccounting for tears. They
depend greatly upon some peculiar con-
dttlon of the system. Andrew Johnson
had witnessed, tor weeks and months,
inc rebels gradually re-cStablishing the
onronrous systems and practices which
Iour hundred thousand good and true
men laid down their lives to abolish
yet IL drew not tcnr from his eyes. He
had heard thatn mob shouting his name.
had massacred the people whose Moses
he promised to be-had shot them
down, men, women, and children !; had
burned their dwellings, churches and
school-houses, in n city of his own
State-still he yielded up not drop OF
water. Flo knew that scores of good
Union mon in New Orleans, assembled
in peaceful deliberntion, were set upon
by n rebel mob, and slaughtered while
displaying flags of truce; that mon
begging protection of the police, were
lice; that wounded and dying men
were tumbled into carts, and were then
stamped upon and shot until life was
extinct, while their murderers cheered
for jeff. Davis and Andrew Johnson-

patch announcing that unrepentant
rebels from South Carolina and rene
gades from Massachusetts had marched
into political Convention arm-in-nrm,
just as he had planned they should do,
it was too touching to Withstand, and
he literally turned into II terrific water
spout!
It has been observed that men bor-
dering upon state of delirium trem-
ems, arc affected to tears by trivial cir
cumstances, and in n manner to make
them appear silly in the extreme. Is
not A. johnson in that fix? We hnvo

A TOUGH STORY.

Some years since an eccentric old genius,
named Barnes, was employed by farmer living
in o town some six or seven miles westerly from
the Penobscot river, Maine, to dig well. The
soil and substratum being mostly Of sand, old
Barnes after having progressed downward about
work that the well had essentially caved in and
was full near to the top. So, having the desire
which men have Of knowing what will be said OF
them when they are dead, and no one being astir,
he concealed himselfin rank growth of burdock
by the side of board fence near the mouth oi
the well, having first left his frock and hat on
the windass over the well. AT length breakfast
being ready, boy was dispatched to call him to
his meal, when, 10 and behold it was seen that
Barnes was buried i'll the grave unconsciously
dug by his own hands. The alarm being given,
and the family assembled, it was decided Io first
cat breakfast and then send for the coroner, the
minister, and his wife and children. Such
apathy did not fatter Barnes selfesteem bit,
but lie waited patiently, determined to hear
what Was to be heard, and see what was to be
seen.
Presently all parties arrived and began "pros-
pecting'' the scene Of the catastrophe, as people
usually. do in such cases. At length they drew
together TO exchange opinions US to what should
lie done. The minister ut once gave his opinion
that they had better level up the well aud let
Barhes remain; 'fer," said he, ''he is beyond
temptation of sin, and in the day of judgment il
will make no difference whether he is buried
five feet under ground or fifty, for he is bound
to come forth in either case.' The coroner like
wise agreed that it would be needless expense to
his family or the town to disinter him when he
Was efectually buried, and therefore coincided
with the minister.
His wife thought that rs ''he had left his hat
and trock it would badly be necessary to dig him
out for the rest Of his clothes, and it was de-
