Are You Ready to Die7

Travelling in his buggy alone, not long ago,
in going to one of his appointments, one of
rour good brethren in the Presbytery of Mem
phis overlook q tramp with his carpet-bas in
his hand. The roads were muddy, and he
was just at the time about entering miry
bottom. With the ,politeness for which he is
noted. he asked the pedestrian Gan enfiro
Strangely if he would not take seat in the
buggy until at least they had crossed the
mud and mire. The Invitation was readily
accepted, and the conversation for time was
free and easy, about things ordinary and gen.
'erai. Presently. however, the good brother,
with view to make the conversation profi.a>
BILE, asked the stranger if he was ready to die.
Not knowing the character Of the person who
'had invited him to seat with him, and mis-,
experimenting his meaning and suspccting
foul play, he waited not to reply, but sprang
from the buggy Immediately aud ran for life
through slush and water. The clerical bro,
Their, wishing to assure the stranger that be
meant no harm, called to him OF the top of
his voice to stop! But this only fastened
his speed, aud like a scared hare lie ran until
beyond hearing and sight in his hasty
Hight he left his carpet sack. which our bro
Their now has in his possession, being the
richer for his faithfulness By the addition Of
a coarse shirt, pair of threadbare trousers,
and little 'backcr"

CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGEs.-The New
Jersey Constitutional Convention did
good days work few days since. by
adopting an amendment enabling the
Governor to veto separate items in an
incidental bill without defeating the
whole. An amendment was also adopt
ed disqualifying member of Congress
or Federal office-holder from occupying
the gubernatorial chair and forbidding
the election of Governor to the United
States Senate, or his acceptance of any
Federal appointment during his incum-
bency. This will be looked upon as
hard ruling by ambitious politicians, but
its carrying out will undoubtedly tend to
purify the present system of politics in
that State.
