NOT TO BE FOOLED WITH.

A tramp met presiding elder James
A. G odfrey, of Amite county, on horse
back, in the road, few days since,
and demanded of him his watch,
which was turned over to him. He
then made an effort to dispossess him
of his horse, when the divine, becom-
ing suddenly enragetl, struck him q
blow, telling him to the ground and
forcing a pistol from him, demanded
a surrender of the money and watch;
having secured which, he marched
him to Liberty and turned him over
to the officers of the law, who imine-
diately ushered him to more apprO-
pirate rulers the jail Louisville

A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

Colclidge relates q story to this
effect: Alexander, in his march into
Africa, came to a people dwelling in
peaceful huts, who knew neither war
nor conquest. Gold being offered him,
he refused it, saying that his sole OBJ
ject was to learn the manners and
customs of the inhabitants. "Stay
with u.s." said the chief, cas- long us it
pleases thee"
During his interview with the Afri
can chief, two of his subjects brought
Il case before him for Judgment. The
dispute was this: The one had bought
a piece of ground, which, after the
purchase was found to contain a treas
ure, for which he felt himself bound
to pay. The other refused to receive
anything, stating that he had sold the
ground with what it might he found
to contain, apparent or concealed.
Said the chief, looking ut the one :
1'You have a son - and to the other:
E'You have daughter; let them be
married, and the treasure given them
as II OOWfy.
Alexander was astOnished.
'And what" said the chief, "would
have been the decision in your co',n-
try 2"
awe should have dismissed the par
ties and seized the treasure for the
| kings use.'
And does the sun shine in your
country 2" said the chief; ''does the
| rain fall there Are there any cattle
there which feed upon herbs and green
grass7''
"Certainly," said Alexander.
! "Ah," said the chief, "it is for the
sake of those innocent cattle that the
Great Being permits the sun to shine
the rain to fall and the grass to grow
in your country"
