Wit and Justice in Missouri. . It is well known that some of the judges in Missouri were very reluct ant k enforce the law against minis ters of the gnspel for exercising tlmir profossinn without having taken the test oath, and avuilcd themselves of every pretense lo discharge those who wore accused, Three ministers, charged with tho -tirifsm . of preaching 'the glorious gos pel of tho Son of God,' wore arraigned bclbro a certain judge. They were regularly indicted, and it was under stood that tho proof against them was very clear. 'Are you a preacher?' said the judge to one of them. 'Ycs, sir,' replied the culprit. 'To what denomination do you belong?' j '1 am a Christain, sir.' (With dignity.) 'A Christian 1 What do you mean by that?. Are not all preachers Christians?' 'I belong to the sect usually called, but wrongly called, Campbcllitcs.' (Not so much dignity.) . 'Ah ! Then you believe in baptiz ing people in ordfcr that they may be born agfiin, do you ?' 'I do, sir.' (Defiantly.) 'Mr. Sheriff, discharge that man. He is an innocent man! Htfia [n dicttid for preaching the gospel, and there is not a word of gospel in the stuff he prcachos I It is only Rome of Alexander Campell's nonsense. Dis charge the /nan!' Exit Cauipbcllite, greatly rejoicing. 'Are you a preacher?' said the judge, addressing the second criminal. 'I am, sir,' said the miscreant. 'Of what, denomination arc you V 'I am a Methndi-t, sir.' 'Do you believe in falling from grace ?' '1 do, sir.' (Without hesitation.) 'Do you believe in sprinkling people instead of immersing them V '1 believe (bat people can be i>an tized by sprinkling.' (Much oilbn.i ed.) 'Do you bcHeve in baptizing babies?' 'It is my opiuibn, sir, that babies ought to be baptized.' (Indignantly.) 'Nor a word of Scripture for any thing of the kind, sir!' snouted his honor. 'Mr. Sheriff, turn that man loose! He is no preacher of the gos pel ! The gnspel ir truth, and there is not a word of truth in what that man leaches! Turn him loose! It is ridiculous to indict, men on such frivolous pretense; ! Turn hiin loose!' Methodist disappears, nut at all hurt iu his feelings by the judicial abu.se he has received, 'What are you, sir?' said the judge io the third felon. '?Some people call men preacher, sit.' ( Meekly.) 'What is your denomination V 'I ant: a Baptist.' (Head up.) His honor'6 countenance foil, and he looked sober and sad, for ho him 80If was of the same persuasion. After r pause he said : 'Do you believe In Valvation by grace ?'. 'I d*.' (Firmly.) 'Do you teach that immersion only is baptism ?' 'That is my doctrine.' (Earnestly.) 'And you baptize none but those who believe in Jesus Christ?' 'That is my faith and practice.' (With emphasis.) 'My friend, f fear it will go hard ktith you. I see you are indicted for for preaching' tho gospel, and it up pears to lue by your own confession that you are guilty.' Baptist looked pretty blue. 'May it yleaae your honor,' said the Baptist's counsel, springing to his leet, 'thai man never preached the gospel. I have heard him aay a hundred times that he only tried. I have heard him try myself.' 'Mr. Sheriff, discharge this man 1 He is imtiudictcd for trying. There is nothing said about the mere effort! Lot him ; go, sir! 1 am astonished that thft State Attornoy should annoy tho Court with such frivolous indict ments !' Exit Baptist determined to 'try' again. Court adjourned for'lickor.' The Saratoga correspondent of the .Vow York Commercial tells the follow ing story : They wore two Madison avenue girls?real beauties. They were talk ing beneath the trees of Clarendon pdvk, nnd we were sitting in Jixhulnile. at our window over-head eavesdrop ping- /Eavesdropping?- Yes, gentle reader, for that is the privilege of knights of the quill. They hrc not as other men. Tho sanctity of quiet tete a-tetes is notsacred to them. They are bound by the oat'.i*? of their pro fession to tell all they can find out of everybody's business, and tho more unscrupulous they arc in getting hold of something to tell tho more worthy are they to enter the scribblers' heav en. One of the y< ung ladies aforesaid wnc a blonde, the other a sort of half and-half; that is to say, she had light hair, hut not too light, complexion ditto, but eyes as black as charcoal. She was the gayest little maiden I ever saw. It seemed as if sho could hardly contain herself. She began to speak as.'follows: \ 'Nell/ said she, 'I'm going home to morrow.' 'Going homo tomorrow? What for, pray?' 'Because'T cirfCbehave Vyself 'T ?Weli, oufT with it! Jefibife] What' have you been doinjj?' 'Lots of things.' 'Well, give us tho first.' 'You know Prank Kennedy, Nell ?' 'That soft, simpering fellow, that always tells you how'chawming'you looh?' 'Exactly. This morning I saw him coming, and made up my mind to la lie him down;' ?And what did you du V 'I put my diamond brooch in it j chair; pin upwards, and asked him to 1 lit down.' j 'H o sal, of cotti^e, and what thou ?' ! 'If- jumped up ami yelled, 'Oh, my? V ! 'What's the trouble?' f asked. 'Nothing in particular; only 1 thought of nn engagement at this very mom-1 cut; you must excuse me. And oil'be went, and would you believe it, Nell, the brooch was .sticking to him.' 'That whs awful, Jennie,'and the two girls giggled together for live min utes. Kell broke the spell by demand ing 'What next?' 'Why, you see, 1 was talking with that young sprig of a clergyman; the Itev. Tom Parsons. We Inul nearly talked each other to death, when, as luck would havo it, he made s.mie remarks about mosqui toes. 1 r.vas on my native heath at once, and began to toll him of my experience at Koeknway.

Mr. William \hi Sang^tnc Veil known Chinaman employed at Wilson "Bros, tea depot, on King > street, was nnited in mar riage with Miss Clara Davis, a native of this city. The wedding cerujuony was performed by the lie v. Dr. Bow man of the Went worth street Luther an Church, in the most solemn and impressive manner, and the remnks made by this eloquent Divine were, exceedingly npptopriutc to the oc casion, and were listened to with in tense interest hy all. There were up ward.-; of sixty persons present,'the in vited guests of the bride and groom. Mr. Ah Sang was attired in the full and complete costume of his native country, the same being a richly flowered sat'tu blouse, heavily trim med with gold, points of a deep blue and the shoes Usually worn in China. The bride woro a sntiu dress richly trimmed with lace, etc., of foreign importation, a handsome veil trailing several feet, and a magnificent Wreath j of orange blossoms deeoratcd her head and brow, wnleh with her soft blue eyes and beautiful face, gave her ?more the appearance of some fairy which the imagination pictures, tbau a hu man being. The bride and groom .seemed exceedingly happy, and if we may judge by present appearances, \vc predict for them a happy and prosper ous future. Mr. Ah Sang has con cluded to remain here permanently and speaks in the very highest terms of the kindness shown him by the Messrs. Wilson Bros, his employers. ?iVf ./;? & Courier.
