BEYOND COMPREHENSION.

When Daniel Webster was in his
best moral state, and when he was in
the prime of his manhood he was one
day dining with company of literary
gentlemen in the city of Boston. The
company was composed of clergymen
lawyers, physicians, statesmen, mer-
chants, und almost all classes of literary
persons. Daring the dinner the con-
versation incidentally turned upon the
subject of Christianity. Mr.. Webster,
as the occasion was in honor of him,
was expected to take a leading part in
in the conversation, and he frankly
started as his religious sentiments his
belief in the divinity of Christ, and his
dependence upon the atonement of the
Saviour A minister of very consider
able literary reputation sat almost
opposite him at the table, and he
looked at him and said: "Mr. Web
ster, can you comprehend how Jesus
Christ could be both God and man 2
Mr. Webster, with one of those looks
which no man can initiate, iSed his
eye upon him, and promptly and
emphatically said: "No sir, I can not
comprehend it; and l would be ashamed
to acknowledge him as my Saviour if I
could comprehend it. If l could com
prehend him he could be no greater
than myself and such is my conviction
of accountability to God. such is my
knowledge of my own incapacity to
recover myself, that I feel need of a
superhuman Savior. Bishop James.

IF WRONGS COULD SPEAK.


IF stolen money, like laying hens,
could cackle, what aracket there would
be in some mems pockets and premises.
If stolen goods, like Chanticleer, could
only crow, how many persons would
be broken of their rest and kept awake
by night. If the hire of laborers, kept
back by fraud, could talk, like Balaam's
beast, what braying would din some
employers ears. If the wrongs Of the
widow and the orphan could speak,
how many unjust ones would be con-
tinually tronbled by the ringing of
voices in their ears, saying, "Give us
our rights" If some lordly mansions
reared by ill-gotten gain-could artic
ulate, many stone could cry out of
the wall, and many brick and beam
from the timber would answer it: "Woe
| to him that procureth wicked gain for
his house, that he may establish his
nest on high" If all things unfairly
cotton and wrongly detained could be
set free and remanded to their right
full owners, what a wonderful erodats
would there be from house to house,
from person to person, from purse to
purse, from capital to labor, from labor

from house to house, could enter the

other mems money, and could set the
several articles in motions in the
direction of its rightful owner what
movement there would be among the
mirrors, what rafting of silvertplate,
knives, forks, and spoons; what hust
ling of chairs and tipping Of tables;and
would not many bed take up itself
and walk.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

It was night: Jerusalem slept as
quietly amid her hills as child upon
the breast of it's mother. The noise
less sentinel stood like statue at his
post, and the philosophers lamp burn j.,
ing dimly in the recess Of his chamber.
But moral darkness involved the
nation in its unenlightened shadows.
Reason shed faint glimmering over
the minds of men like the cold and
insufficient shining of distant star.
The Immortality of mans spiritual
nature was unknown, his relation to
heaven undiscovered, and his future
destiny obscured in cloud of mystery.
1t was at tins period that two forms
of ETHEREAL mould lowered about the
land of Gods chosen people. They
came, sister angels, sent to earth on
some embassy of love. The one
majestic stature and well~formed limb f
which her drapery scarcely concealed,
and her erect bearing and steady eye
exhibiting the highest degree OF
strength and confidence. Her right
arm was extended in an expressive
gesture upward where night appears to
have planted her darkest pavilion,
while on hei left inclines her delicate
companion in form and countenance
the contrast of the other. She was
dropping like flower moistened by
refreshing dew, and her bright and
troubled eyes scanned them with ar
dent but varying glances. Suddenly
LIGHT like the sun flashed out from the
heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed
with exulting song the ascending star
of Bethlehem. Years rolled away, and
stranger was seen in Jerusalem. He
was meek, unassGming man, whose
happiness seemed to consist IN acts of
benevolence to the human race. There
were deep traces OF sorrow IN MS
countenance, though no one knew why
he grieved, for he lived in the practice
of every virtue, and was loved by all
of the good and wise.
By and it was rumored that the
stranger worked miracles, that the
blind saw, the dumb spake, and the
dead arose, the ocean muttered lite chat
ing tide the very thunder articulated.-
He was the son of God. Envy assailed
him to death. Tricky guarded he
slowly assembled the Hill of Calvary.
A heavy cross bent him to the earth,
But Faith leaned on his arm, and
Hope, dipping her pinions in His
blood, mounted TO the skies.

woman's Exhortat,on to the Dram Seller.

We beg of you to give up business
which thrives only on our ruin. We
entreat, by our husbands and fathers,
whom it transforms into fiends; by
our sons and brothers, whom it has
already changed into sots, and is
hurrying from the gutter to the grave
by our homes, once a heaven to us,
now very he'll by our hearts, crushed
and infinite perils of the loved ones
still left us; by the foodgates of de-
struction which your business opens,
sweeping away thousands of millions
of property year, bearing hundred
thousand men and women annually to
prison, double that number to the poor
house, and more than half as many,
in all their sins, to the Judgment. We
pray God to awaken you to your awful
guilt in this; and we will not let them
go, until we get what we ask.

A LEGAL WAC.

Judson T. Mills. of South Carolina
was Judge of the District Court in
northern Texas, fond of joke, but
being very decided in the discharge of
his duties. Thomas Fannin Smith
was practicing lawyer at the bar
and having shametully misstated the
law in his address to the jury, turned
to the court and asked the judge to
charge the jury accordingly. The
Judge was highly indignant, and re-
piled:
"Does the counsel take the court to
be fool?"
Smith was not abashed by this re
proof, but instantly responded:
81 trust your honor will not insist
on an answer to that question, as l
might, by answering truly, be cons
sidered guilty Of contempt Of court. !"
"Fine the counsel ten dollars, Mr..
Clerk, said the judge.
Smith INN ediately paid the money,
and remar ked, SIT was ten dollars more
than the court could show"
"Fine the counsel fifty dollars" said
the judge.
The fine was entered by the clerk,
and Smith, not being able to respond
in that sum, sat down. The next
morning Smith rose, ans with much
Difference of manner began: "May it
please your honor, the clerk took that
little joke of yours about the fifty dol.
!, lars as serious, as perceive from the
reading of the minutes. Will your
honor be pleased to inform him of his
error, and have it erased ?"
The GOODNESS Of the request and the
implied apology pleased the judge, and

Live Jewels.

1t is not generally known that the
Mexican women Of the wealthier classes
use as ornaments, on extraordinary oc'
casions, live fire flies, which, in the
dark, emit bright, phosphorescent
light. They belong to the family Of
leaping or springing beetles, and are
called by the Spanish cucujo. In order
to catch these bugs, the Indians fasten a
live coal to stick, and move it to and
fro in the dark. The cucujo thinks this
bright point rival, and in his anger
darts toward it, and finds the grave Of
his liberty in the hands of the Indian.
The Indians find a ready sale for them
in the larger cities, where they are
bought by the wealthy ladies at about
two reals twenty five cents) a dozen.
They are kept in elegant little cages and
