A dispute once arose between two Scotch
men. named Campbell and Mclean, upon the
antiquity of their families. The latter wonld
not allow that the Campbels had any right
to rank with the McLeans in antiquity, who,
he insisted, were in existence as clan since
the beginning of the world. Campbell had
a little more biblical knowledge than his an
tagonist, and asked him if the clans OF the
McLeans was before the food. "The food,
you know, that drowned all the world out
Noah and his family, and his flock" SAID
Campbell "Pooh! you and your HOOD,
said Mclean; tiny clan was afore the HOOD
81 have OF read in my Bible, said Campbell
"of the name of Mclean going into Noah
ark" "Noah's arkr' retorted Mclean IN
contempt" "who ever heard of Mclean
that hadn't boat of his ain ?"

The REAL TRoUBLE.-The New York Free
mans Journal says: 1t is many years ago
that we began to insist, in these columns,
that our fundamental trouble was not in the
slavery question, or in any question of sur
face politics. The trouble is, that our insti-
tutions were framed to suit an intelligent and
virtuous people, and that they have fallen
into the keeping of a people shallow in their
ideas, and corrapt in their politics" -

COULDN'T DO HIMSELF JusTIcE.-A colored
man stuck to the rebel army of Gen. HOOD
through thick and thin, and was in high
hopes of being able TO march into Nashville
and pay his respect to lady who belonged
to the upper crust of the colored society;
and when he discovered that the besieging
army was retreating, he determined to break
through the lines and throw himself upon
the mercy of the cruel Yankees. He pre-
sented himself to Gen. Thomas, hat in hand
and standing very straight.
"Where are you from" asked the General
"Ise jest from de army, sab"
"What army ?'
s'Mr. Hoods army, sah."
"Where is Mr.. Hood now ?"
"He's leavin', sab; he's leavin'"
"Ah, Thought Mr.. Hood, as you call him
was coming to Nashville"

Now that 1867 has dawned upon us, the
Second Adventism followers must be very

argued, would witness an end of all things

time. Accordingly, their followers conf

we appreheud those fellows take the publish.

sided contracts get not one red cent for their

publishers should put veto upon this stupen-

in their idleness, they will continue to use US
for that purpose eternaliy. Let country pub

We throw these things into the stove BY hats
