Correspondence OF the Ledger.
FULTON, Mo, Feb. 15.-Ahout forty
years ago there lived Immediately
south of Fulton an old gentleman by
the name of james Allen. Allen was
a man of considerable culture, very
fond of controversy and especially
well posted. He was scarcely ever
in the company of an anti-pedo Bap-
tist for even a few moments without
getting INTO a discussion. On one
occasion he was travelling through
Monroe county, Mo-. and during the
day he fell in company with a man
that he took to be a Campbellite
(Christlan) preacher. He was not
long in finding out that he was right
in his suspicion nor long in getting
a discussion started. They passed
rapidly from one point to another
till Allen quoted lst Cor. 7:l4, "Fo'
the unbelieving husband is sanctified
by the wife, and the unbelieving wife
is sanctified by the husband; else
were your children unclean, but now
are they holy" "Ah!" said the
preacher, ''that don't mean holy, il
means legitimate" "Legitimate!"
said Allen, with severity, then he
turned his eyes upon him with serious
earnestness and said: "My friend, if
by any mishap, you should ever reach
that upper and better place and
take your place among that happy
throng, where the angels are always
singing around the throne holy
holy!l holy.!!' and you should turr
up your head and pipe out 'legiti

discord, and seeing you he would say
how did that id fool get in here.
anyhow? Won't somebody take him
out?" 1t is hardly necessary TO ado
that that closed the discussion.
The above incident is vouched TO
by several of the old citizens nov
living in Fulton. / am informed tina
a son of Mr.. Allen is new a citizen o
Mexico.
1t might be added that Allen wa
turned out of the church for profan
ity, though he persisted to the las
that nothing but a id fool woul'
