A Test Of Mans Human
Nature.

One day two men in Xenia,
Ohio, were engaged in a discus
sion as to Beecher's guilt or in
nocence. From this our deba-
ters branched off upon the sub
ject Of human nature in gener-
al, its foibles, weakness and in
stability under crucial tests;
and, growing earnest, one Of
fered to. bet that there was not
a dozen men in that city who
would stand a certain test which
he specified. The wager was
accepted, twelve representative
male citizens designated, and
to each dainty not, written
in feminine hand, couched in
seductive yet polished terms,
was sent as coming from lady.
The missive said that the wri-
ter had seen the gentleman adj
dressed, been impressed by his
bearing and appearance, and
was most anxious, &C., accord
ing to the usual style. The wri-
ter would be happy to meet Mr..
Vanity at such and such a point
at such time. The notes were
duly sent, and the conspirators
anxiously awaited the result of
the affair. Much to the chagrin
of the gentleman who accep-
ted the wager, and the triumph
of the other, every one Of the
men to whom the notes were
sent, married and single, old
and young, appeared at the
proper point at the time speci-
fed.

A Sad Affairs Singular Sa-
gacity of a Canine.
From the Hudson On. Y.) Star

Wednesday forenoon last Mr..
Charles Mitchell, who resides at
2SS Warren street, proceeded
home to get his dinner, as US
ual. Upon entering the house
he discovered that his wife was
absent, and after waiting a few
minutes, and Mrs. Mitchell not
returning, as well as noticing
the fact that no preparations
had been made for dinner, he
visited a neighbor and inquired
if his wife had been there, re-
ceiving negative reply. He
again returned home and COM
menced reading a newspaper,
thinking Mrs. Mitchell would
soon arrive, but while thus oc-
cupied he was forced to notice
the strange action of his dog,
a small canine, which kept con-
stantly running up and down
stairs and toward him, seeming
to making many appeals to go
with him. At last Mr.. Mitchell
followed the dog, and was led
by the animal to a bed room up
stairs, entering which Mr.. |
Mitchell was mortified to see his !
wife lying upon the floor, one
arm encircling a wash-stand,
the bed pulled out, and a broom
lying upon the floor, as if Mrs.
Mitchell had while engaged in
sweeping, been suddenly pros
trated to the floor. Medical aid
was speedily summoned, and
the unconsciousjform was placed
upon the bed every exertion
made to restore the good wo-
man to conciousness, but it was
of no avail, and she has remain
ed in an unscious state up to the
present writing. 1t is the opin-
on of the neutrality-suspicious., DR..
Salmon, that the cause Of the
attack its attributable to para !,
lysis and apoplexy, The prob
abilities are that Mrs. Mitchell
will not survive. :,

Dangers Of Nitro-Glyce-
rin0.

Nitro Glycerine is a thick col
orless oil and appears 10 be as
harmless, to look at, as lard oil or
petroleum. People are SO accus-
toned to the handling of oils of
all kinds that it is almost i'm
possible to make them realize the
danger that turks in the smallest
quantity of nitro glycerine. it ex-
plodes when gently struck, and is
ten times more powerful as an eX-
plosive, weight for weight, than gun
powder, The otLerevenin g in Jer-
sey City, a gentleman and lady
were taken a moonlight stroll on
the heights, in the vicinity of one
of the shafts of the new Delaware
and Lackawana railway tunnel.
The man saw on the ground the
glimmer of a small tin tube,
picked it up and slapped it from
one hand to the other. when a
terrific explosion ensued. His
eyes were destroyed, his flesh
lacerated, his limbs broken, while
his lady companion was dreadful
ly injured. 1t was a discarded
nitro. glycerine tube, such are
used in blasting, and is supposed
to have been thrown away by
workmen at the tunnel shaft.

CARRIERS ADDRESS.
BY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.

Silyery chimes in rapture swelling,
Peace and joy proclaim on earth,
Christmas bells are blithely telling,
Telling of a Saviour's birth!
Sweetly sounds their siIvery measure
Peals to every heart how dear !
Burdened with exquisite pleasure,
Joyous news abroad they bear.
Tidings of blessed Saviour,
Would that each might strive TO prove
By chTistian-like behavior,
Worthy of redeeming love.
Worthy of the glorious dover,
Life eterne beyond the grave;
He is willing, He hath power, Al
Trust, believe and He will save
Happy Christmas! what commotion
Animates the hearts of men,
Ceaseless Times revolving motion,
Here hath brought tnee once again.
Also brings cordial greeting,
From the Carrier Of the times,
Friends at every social meeting,
Whilst ye list those cheering chimes,
Think of one that's faithful ever,
To the trust in him reposed;
Swerving from his duty never,
Never ere the task is closed.
Faithful he performs his mission,
Well reward his toll and care;
Let him by your kind decision.
Largely of your bounties share.

The largest Circulation.

The Journal says that the pa,
pers having the greatest circula-
tions in the country are morning
papers. This is only partial
ly true. Owing to the lateness in
the day when the evening papers
are printed, they cannot get very
far away from the. city of their pub
cation, but must copfiue them.
selves to a radius of fifty or sixty
miles, while the morning papers
60 all,over the State. But it is
not true that the morning papers
have the largest local circulations.
The daily paper with the largest
circulation of any paper in the
United States is the New York
Neaus, an afternoon paper. The
Star has the largest circulation of
any Cincinnati paper, and it is
published in the evening. The
same is trueof the Meas Detroit,
the -Neacs in indianapolis, and
we might enumerate the afternoon
papers OF nearly all Of our large
cities. The morning papers make
more noise at distant points, while
the evening papers have the cir
culation and influence at home

Religion Among the Ala
bama Negroes.
Huntsville Correspondence of the New
York Times.

1
Soon after the war ceased, it
was remarked that the negroes
of the South had changed in
many respects, and that among
other things they had given up
dancing and singing. Now
their principal amusement con-
sists in going to church and
shouting themselves hoarse in
what they call ''the holy dance"
Here, in Huntsville, nearly eY-
cry negro in the place has 'sper-
fenced religion" as he will tell
you with a sly affection of
meekness thatis truly laughable.
Having experienced religion
does not mean with them, how
ever, that they shall try to live
pure, good lives, OF that they
shall sacrifice anything for
the sake of their faith. Relig-
ious negroes steal as much and
get drunk quiet as often as do
the very few who are not in the
Church, and / am informed on
the very best authority that
black men and women, altar
passing half thenight in prOtract-
ed. or revival meeting, will leave
the house of God TO engage in
scenes Of dissipation that are
too disgusting for description. |
In a former letter l tried to !
convey an idea how terribly i'm
moral the country negroes were.
At this time it is only necessa-
ry to add that several colored
preachers i'll North Alabama
are known to have more than
one wife. and the leading sister
in the Methodist Church in this
place is the keeper of a den fire.
quented only by negro thieves
and women Of the lowest class.
In church matters the colored
people are very exclusive; at
at the same time they are ex-
cessiyely proud Of the par
ticular denomination to which
they belong, and loud in their
denunciation Of those who join
other churches.
In Huntsville the so-called /
IIard-shell Baptist congrega-
ton is by far the largest, num-
bering upwards towards two
thousand members. a day or
two since | asked an old dar-
ey, who is a prominent elder
in the Methodist Church, how it
was that the BaptistS were so
numerous. "Lor,' sah," said
he, 'dat's easy 'nou9h 'splained.
Niggers is sinful fond Of show.
and the Baptists gives it to
'em sure; no natural nigger
can't resist the fascinations Of a
public baptism"

Hail source of pleasure sacred theme,
The Saviour's natal hour;
Who came the unrighteous to redeem,
From sins prevailing power.
All! what were all the joys of earth,
Compared with these alone;
Whose sacred hopes of heavenly birth,
For all our woes atone.
For these, the martyr meets his doom,
Nor fears the lurid flame,
Regardless of the yawning tomb,
. Or tortures man could frame.
And while returns that sacred day,
Which renders hope secure
With rapture hail its earliest ray,
Its pleasures sweet and pure.
A world-redeeming Saviour reigns,
Let all of earth proclaim,
In high and heaven-ascending strains,
Messiah's sacred name.
