As he could not immediately take another wife and avoid Cxcitiug . neauua!, ?sd C?u'd not get, alang without some one to take, charge of the kitchen and nursery, ho had.recourse to employing a young Wo man ne housemaid. .Nancy Stearna was a laughing, romp ing beauty, who delighted in experitucut ing upon the Deacon, by way of testing the strength of human nature. For a long time the Deacon was invulnerable, but at last is a moment of unguarded weakness he was led iuto temptation, and committed a "slight indiscretion" with bis beautiful housemaid. When he recovered his wonted coplness and presence of mind, he was horrified at the enormity of his s;o. In vain he repen ted and grioved over lost virtue. Finul ly, asaiast effort of" erasing his con science, nt the service on the following Subbath morning he arose and requested the forbearance of the brothers ood sis ters a few moments wheu ho electrified them by making the following confes iou : "My Christian friends* you know that I lost hiy wife some months ago, (sobs j and tears) and that Nancy S earns has | been keeping house for mo. "And you know that I have a littlo. child not a year old. Well, sometimes that child would cry in the niglft and it would be a long time before 1 conld quiet it, and last Tuesday night?God forgive me ! ? the child cried so hard that Nancy arose and came into tho room, and leaned over the bed to hush the child?and broth ers and ?isters her leaning over uic there made me forget Christ." "What did you do 2" domanded the minister, sternly. ?' "I?I kiaaed her VI stammered out the deacon, botwecn his sobs, "hut 1 have been very sorry about it, and pray ed to be forgiven, nnd I want you to forgive and pray fur mc, brothers and sisters. . t~, v , . .. As the Deacon bowed himself upon his seat like the mighty oak before the tornado Deacon Godfcllow arose and as tonished the audience still more, by saying : "Brothers and Sistcr3 you have he rd what brother Uro w n has said; now he wants our forgiveness. For my part I believe brother Drown is truly penitent, and I am willing to forgive him with my whole heart. Ami, brothers and i-isters, I will add still further that if I had no wife, and a pretty girl like Nancy Stearns should come iuto my room, and lean over my bed, and lean over me, I'd kiss her sin or no sin !"

Scarcely a week passes \vhi h does not! bring news of nccidculs of this kind in various parts of the country, tho result of recklessness in handling an article which seems to require almost as much caution til its use as gunpowder. A London buker has his bill heads printed upon paper of three dificrunt colors?red, gteeu and whito. The ob ject of this is to avoid giviog iuslruc lions to the man who delivers the bread, flour,&0., to the customers. To prevent mistakes, when tho bill was made out upon a red paper, it uenoted "nangcr," aud ho was not to loave the foods with out the cash ; if on greon, it denoted ?caution," as the customer jras doubtful, und the man was to get tho money if he could ; if ou white, it wus safe to leave auy quanity.

This popular phrase, it. seems, was first utfed in Congress,-being a 'remark made by Hon. Charles A: Wickcliffe, member of Congress from Kentucky. It was in acknowledgment of the deductions of an argumeut for protection made by Hon., Andrew Stewart, just elected to Coll-' gross from the Wcstfu'orelaud District (Tweury-first) of Pennsylvania. Mr. Stewart was' in Congress whon Henry Clay ami Daniel Webster were there, and advocated protection. He recently mndo a .speech,,in which he referred to the facti At the sntno timo he related an incident which gives the origin of the well-known phrase, "I acknowledge the cofo/' In 1828?forty-two years ago?this Bubj- ct (protection) was before Congress, and we were discussing it. I was trying to show to the farmers of the county that that they were purchasing Jforcigu agri cultural productions in the form of goods, while they loft their: own produce at homo without a market. I'said Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky sent their hay stacks, corn-fields and fodder to New York and Philadelphia for sale. , Mr. Wickcliffe, of Kentucky, jumped up nnd said : "Why that is absurd. Mr. Speaker, 1 call the ge?t!eman to order. He is stating an absurdity. Wo' never send haystacks or corn-Holds to New York and Philadelphia." "Well," I said, "what do you send ?" "Why, horses, mules, cattle, hogs." ?'Well, whut makes your horses, mules, cattle and hoga ? You feed a, hundred dollars worth of hay to a horso, you just auimate and get upon^tho top of your haystack and ride it off to market. (Laughter.) How is it with your cattle ? You make one of them carry filty dol lars worth of hay and grass to the East ern market. 1 ben I came to the hog questiou Said 1 : "Mr. Wickliffe, you send a hog worth ten dollurs to an Eastern market; how much -"own-docs it tnkoXI thirty-thi <?,? ccuts per bu-diel to fatten- it ?" "Why, thirty bushels." '?Then you put that thirty bushels of corn into the shape of a hog and make it walk off to the Eastern market." Mr. Wickliffe jumped up and said : "Mr. speaker, I acknowledge the corn." A Horse Advertisement. A man in Wisconsin advertises his horso lor sale, and thus discourses : Thou canst trust thy labor to him for his strength is great. Thou canst biud him with his band in the furrow ; he will harrow the valleys after thee. lie will gather thy seed iu the barn. His strength is terrible, iu which he reluieutu. He paweth the valley, and waxeth proud in his speed. He mockcth at fear, neither turneth his back fron? the hobgoblin. Lo ! how he tnotheth his tail like a cedar : his sinews are as cables. His bones arc like strong pieces of brass, yea, like bars of iron. He rateth grass like an ox; behold he driuketh up a river ; and trusteth that ho can draw up Jordan in his mouth. Who eau open the door of his face? bridle. His teeth arc terrible rouud about. I will not conceal his parts, nor his comely proportions. J He is penile, be is kind, Aud his (nil sticks out behind.

The couple were by no means plebeian, or below the proper standard of high breeding; they were a hundaome pair, living among educated people, sufficient ly given to mental pursuits, end in every way what pair of polite lovers ought to be. The 'all-important conversation passed in this wise. The site of the pas* sionate scene was the sea shore, on which they were walking in autumn. Gentleman?"Weil, Miss -, tho long and the short of it ii this: here I am ; you can tako me or leave me." Lady (scratching a gutter in the saad with her parasol, so as to allow a little salt water to run out of one hole into another)?f-Of course I know that's ail nonsense." Gentleman?"Nonsense: By Jore, it isn't nonsense at all. Gome, Jane, here I am ; come, at any rate you can say something-" - Lady?"Yes. I suppose I can say something." Gentleman?'

HI A Cat that Reasoned.-?On Tues day last a favorite cat was left in the edi tor's sitting-room after all the family had retired, nud was not heard of uatil about 12 o'clock at night, when it set np a most outrageous caterwauling, arousing the editor and family from sound slum ber. The noise was continued for seve ral minutes after we woke, and a family council wus then and there held aa to what was the matter with the eat. Twas pi bitter cold night, and it Was decided if the cat could stand it we certainly could ?for a while at least. Just then tho caA eejao. directly, to rur bed-roximudoor. and with renewed and torrific power seot forth her howls, accompanied by a scratching on tho door. And thereupon our better-half declared that she would uriso and see what the cat wanted- She did so, while *e esuck to our bed. Open ing the d.ior she found the stove-door wide open, a quantity of coals fallen out upon the zinc beneath the stove, the stove-pipe red-hot, and the chimney on fire. Immediately on her coming ont the cat becamo quiet and had nothing utore to say. Proper measures were taken to avert tho danger of the fire which, we think, but for the eat's alarm would have occurred. Can a oat reason ? We say yes, and our boy Dan's cat can out reuson any other cat in tho State.
