A PIOus Diplomat,

Some few days ago, says the Wheeling
West Virginia, Leader, minister from one
OF the neighboring towns, came to Wheel
ing on short visit. He was out calling
pretty late one night, and upon returning
home lie was suddenly met in lonely
part of the city by highway man, who
thrust n pistol at the clergyman and de-.
manded his money or his life"
The minister was startled, but his pres
ence OF mind did not forsake him and he
thus addressed the would be thief in most
solemn and eifecting tone:
My good man, you shall have every
cent that have. give IL TO you willingly,
hut honn that you will listen to pie for n
moment"
The preacher then fell to work and went
over whole sermon, and in the most melt
ing terms beseaching him TO leave his pres
ent mode of making living. The stars
twinkled above in undimmed glory, and
the sad winds whirled around the adjacent
corner. 1t was an impressive moment, and
the silent influence of night, in conjunction
with the eloquent and sweetly modulated
tones of the minister, caused the villain to
soften and grow penitent.
The preacher saw this, and watching an
opportune moment exclaimed, my friend
| you have done me a wrong though YOU

We have no patience to speak Of JEFF
DAVIS in the role Of an expnunder Of pub.
lie sentiment, or in Sny other capacity
without it should be to call attention TO
the peculiar cut Of the garments in which
he was found at the tail end Of tho rebel.
lion, but will leave the Richmond Wal
Whig to sum him mp and dispose Of HIM
IN tho snbioined paragraph. The remarks
OF the Wing arc called out Ivy recent
speech delivered by DAVIS in Louisiana on
a festive occasion commemorative OF some
confederate event:
To lis thccontcntion on either eidc seem
uncalled for and scnseless. Nothing Mr.
Davis can do or say can have the slightcst
effect upon, those problems Of to-day, in
which the minds Of all other men arc ub
sorbe,l, The times in which he was real
ity are dead the affection and sympathy
with which the masses of ihc Southern
people regard him have all the pitful
vagnoncss ot u memory. lie is the one
survivor Of pershcd cra and lives IN
thoughts and speiks in words which the
very men who formerly stood ncarca To-
him no longer understand. Through all
those years lie has dwclled III world pco.
Piled by ghosts; he has acquired no new
objects IN lifo, formed no new associations,
imbibcd no new idena. lie has stood
apart, while MI mankind beside has adapt
ed itself to the present and embarked its
faith aud hope in The future. lie has con-
stantly looked back ward and has remained
stationary; his counirymen have looked
Ms earncstly forward, and have kept pace
with their vision in pressing toward n new
day Uf light aud peace.
