SCENES FRoMTHE LIFE OF JACOB.
Some'timosince 'a.party Of ladies and
gentlemen went on tour of inspec-
ton through Durham Castle. The

derby female of a sour, solemn and dig
ni6ed aspect. In the course of their
perigrinations theg came, to the ,cele-
brate ted tapestry for Which ths castle il.
so famed. -
"These," said the guide, in true
Snowman style, favored with dash of
piety to suit the subject, and pointing
to several groups Of figures upon the
tapestry ''these represent scenes in
the life of Jacob"
ooh! yes-how pretty "said young
lady; and with laugh, pointing to
two figures in somewhat close proxim-
ity, she continued, Il suppose that is
Jacob kissing Rachel2" IHTHi#
"No, madame" responded the indig-
nant guide, with crushing dignity,
"that is Jacob wrestling with the an

Smoking.

Mr.. Spurseon has addressed letter
to the papers on account of it having
been stated that on a recent Sunday
evening, when minister in his chapel
had condemned smoking, he rose after
the sermon, and expressed his dissent
from the preacher, adding that it was
possible to- "smoke to the glory OF
Cod" and that he hoped to enjoy CT
gar that evening before he went to
bed. Mr.. Spurgeon says: II demur al
together, aud most positively to the
statement that to smoke tobacco is in
itself a sin. 1t may become so, as any
other indifferent action may, but as an
action it is no sin. Together with
hundreds and thousands of my fellow
christians, l have smoked, and with
them ! am under the condemnation of
living in habitual sin, if certain accu-
sers are to be believed. As I would
not knowingly live even in the small
est violation of the law of God, and
sin in the transgrcssion Of the law, l
will not own to sin when am not con-
scious of it. There is growing up in
society pharisaic system which adds
to the commands Of God tho precepts
of men; to that system l will not yield
for an honr. The preservation of my
liberty may bring upon me the up
braidings of many of the good and the
sneers Of the self-righteous; but 4 shall
endure both with sincerity so long as /
feel clear in my conscience before God.
The expression smoking in the glory
of God standing alone has an i'll sound,
and l do not justify it; but in the sense
in which employed it l will stand to
it. No christian should do anything in
which he cannot glorify God-and this
may be done, according to, scripture, ilr
eating and drinking and the common
actions Of life. When Ihave found in
tense pain relieved, a weary brain
sootheed, and calm, refreshing sleep
obtained by cigar, ! have felt CRATE
full to God and have blessed his name;
this is what I meant, and by no means
did I use sacred words triaingly. II
through smoking l had lost an hour of
my time-if / had stinted my gifts to
the poor-if l had rendered my mind
less vigorous-1' trust I should see my
fault and turn from it; but he who
charges me with these things shall
have no answer but my forgiveness
am told that my open avowal will
lessen my Influence, and my reply is
that if l have gained auy influence
through, being thought different. from
what I am, haze no wish to retain it.
1 will do nothing upon the sly, and
nothing about which have the slight
est doubt" 10, %L# jif{ VI

dinner time he. called at the house OF
a gentleman and asked if he could
get dinner there. "OfGcourse," the

dinner, in, his imaginationato be par
taken of in the company Of the hon
est man and his interesting 6: family.
The good man comes out and thus
addresses the hungryoexs Conf ederate
and civil rights advocate: .'"Major
I understand that YOU vo-
ted for the civil rights bill, the object
Of which is the degradation of the
Southern whites to the level Of the
degrees; you are a candidate for re-
election to Congress and are advocat7
ing this infamous measure, and hence
you believe in. social, equality. I

Bottled at. Last,

Next to the result in our own State,
the most gratifying incident of the po-
litical revolution which has swept over
the country is the defeat of Ben. But
Ter, in Massachusetts. l.sHat ST..
All good men in the nation will
share the joy Of this unexpected defeat
of tho most dangerous, pestilent and
INSCRIPTIONS demagogue who ever
cursed this country. But we IF New
Orleans and Louisiana have special
and peculiar reasons for exultation
over the downfall of the most furious,
remorseless and malignant enemy our
State and people ever had. There was
no conceivable wrong, insult and igno.
miny he did not put upon our people
during the period Of his vandalic reign
in this city. And long after all good
men had pprged their minds and hearts
of the bitter and revengeful feelings
excited by our civil war, Butler still
continued to, cherish, and on every oc-
casion to give expression to that ven.
omous hate which bad men always
manifest toward those whom they have
wronged. -
For once he mistook~ the real feeling
of the Massachusetts, people, who have
at last grown tired of these perpetual
appeals of Radical demagogues to their
old sectional prejudices and hates.
They have become weafied Of hating,
abusing and despitefully using the
Southern people, And ESQ, when dur
ing the last canvass Butler sought to
divert the minds of his constituents
from his many recent corruptions and
misdeeds, by offering to Place himself
at the head of500o New England vol
unteers to reconquer and reoccupy New
Orleans g end al renew bis ;pllpnder and
degradation of our State and people,
his proposal was received with taunts
and jeers, A spoon dauyled before his
eyes and extinguished his valorous
Efres. ,S{A3A2 .TA-}lyl
1t was, good omen of the defeat
which has followed! Louisiana has
been vindicated in Massachusetts. The
people awA0,wWhast maddened Will,

the nost'bratal individual ever entrus-
ted with power in this country, have
learned to deplore their misguided vir.
