Throw up your hands!" exclaimed a stranger stepping in front of the shadow, while accompanying the words might have been heard the sharp click of a pistol. The person addressed was a weary newspaper man wending his lonely way homeward in the outskirts of the city, about 3 o'clock in the morning. "0, yes, certainly. I'm in no hurry. Only walking for exercise. Just as soon hold up my hands as not. I'm not armed. Please turn that pistol a little to one side. It makes me nervous." "Hand over your cash !" "Haven't nary red with me.

You see I'm a small-pox patient, just out for exercise. They won't let me walk about in the day time with my face in this condition, so I have to go after dark, and late at night, when the streets are empty. By-the-way, stranger, the wind is rather in your direction, and, unless you ain't particular about it, it might be just as well to stand on the other side. I've got an old silver watch, though. If you like it, come and take it. You're at perfect Kberty to search me, if you like, only don't point that pistol this way; it's uncomfortable. D'ye want the old watch?" "No, thank you," said the robber, backing away and round toward the other side ; "I couldn't take anything from a man so unfortunate as you are. Ilere?there's half a dollar for you, poor fellow. Go and get something to drink," and he threw the coin toward him, still backing off. "As you're only walking for exercise, it won't incommode you?" "Oh, not a particle. I'd just as soon walk with'you, if you desire it. Either wav. though, it's all the same to me. Thank V ' & ' ^you for your half. Won't you join me, and drink to my recovery?" ''Well you go round the block the other way; as I haven't hurt you, say nothing about having met me. I guess I'll go this wayand then watching till the supposed small-pox patient turned the corner, he started off on a full run in the opposite direction. Mr. Newspaper Man proceeded on homeward undisturbed, and slept the sleep of one who enjoys the consciousness of having done a good thing, and four bits better oft for having met a highwayman. SL'T LUVENGOOD AT~A CANDY PULLING. I had a heap of trouble last Christmas, and lie tell you how it happened. Deken Jones'' gals give a candy pullin, and I got a stool, as they say in North Karlina, and so over I goes. Sister Poll and me went together, and when we got to ole man Jones the house was chuck full. Dog my cats ef there was room to turn round. There was Suze Ilarkins, shese as big as a skinned hoss, and sixty other Harkinses, and all the Scrogginses, and Williamses, and Simmonses, and Pedigrews, ami the school master and his gal, besides the- old Deken and the Dekenses, and enough little Dekenses to set up a half dozen young folks in the famili business. Well, bymeby the pot begun to bile, and then the fun begun. We all got our plates reddy, and put flour on our hands to keep the candy from stickin, and then* we pitched into pullin. Wozen't it fun ? I never saw sich laflin and cuttin up in all my born daze. I made a candy bird for Em Simmons. Her and me expects to trot in double harness one of these daze. She made a candy goose for me. Then we got throwin candy balls intu one another's hair, and a runnin from one side of the house to tother, and out intu the kitchen, till everything on the place was all over gommed with candy. I sot on a pine bench, and Em Simmons sot close to me, Suse Ilarkins, confound her picter, throwd a candy ball sock intu one of my ize. 1 made a budge to run arter her, and heerd sumthin rip. My stars alive? Wozent I pickled? I looked around and thar was the gable eend of my bran new britches a stickin to the pine bench, f backed up agin the wall sorter craw-fish like and grinned. "Sut," ses sister Poll, "what's the matter ?" "Shet up," says I. "Sut," says Em, "Come away from that wall, you'll git all over greasy." "Let her grease !" says I, and I sot down on a wash bord that was lying across a tub feel in worse than an old maid at a wedden. Purty soon, I felt something hurt, and purty ftfcon it hurt agin. lee?whiz! I jumped ten feet high, kicked over the tub, out flue old Jones Christmas turkey, and you ought to a seed me git. I cut for tall timber, jumpt staked and ridered fences and smashed down brush like a runaway herikan till I got home, and went to bed and stade there two daze. Plf old dekin Joneses barn burns down next winter, and ime arrested for it, and enybody peers as a witness agin me, ile bust his doggoned bed ! Thorn's my sentiments. "' SUT LOVENGOOD. A Witty Ecclesiastic.?A lloman ec clesiastie, in reply to whatever question might he proposed, began, by saying, "I make a distinction." A certain cardinal having invited him to dine, proposed to derive some amusement for the company from the well-known peculiarity of his gust. Saying that he had an important question to propose, he asked, "Is it, under any circumstances, lawful to baptise in soup ?" "1 make a distinction," said the priest; "If you ask is it lawful to baptise in soup in general, I say 110; if you ask, is it lawful to baptize in your excellency's soup, I say yes; for there is really no difference between it and water." ^ A shoemaker was the other day fitting a customer with a pair of boots, when the buyer observed that he had but one objection to them, which was, that the soles were a Jittle too ttncK. -11 mat s an, replied the maker, "put on the boots and the objection will gradually wear away." An Irish juror having applied to the judge to be excused from serving on account of deafness, the judge said:. "Could you hear my charge to the jury, sir?" 'Yes, I heard your honor's charge," said Paddy, "but I couldn't make any sense out of ir '* He was let oft'.

The Farmer vs. The Professions.?I take some credit to myself, believing that an r humble effusion of mine, has called from the flowing pen of "D. L." the graceful essays he ( has lately addressed to the "young men of the v country" on the superior advantages of a farmer's profession over what are termed "the learned professions." His reasoning is as s cogent as his words are pleasant to the ear. s The sul^ect is a very important one and well \ deserves the attention and reflection of our j young friends. If they could be made to feel that the pursuit-was a professional science and ( not mere mechanical drudgery, how much t more happiness, real comfort and honorable content there would be among that class of j our fellow citizens who generally prefer to -c starve in a garret as literary men, 01 dissipate <: the golden days of youth in luxurious disquiet } and elegant misery as gentlemen of leisure, \ than be the strong buoyant tiller of the soil, j searching the great principles of natural science for the benefit of their fellow man, < daily increasing their stores of health and ( honest wealth, learning the deep mysteries of j nature and forming a oetter conception of the ( wonderful laws of nature as pre-ordered by nature's God, and thus enjoying mentally and ( physically their early manhood in all robust ( vitality to the highest degree of rational and j intellectual pleasure, feeling day bv day more forcibly the truth of tlie aphorism. - s Cod made the country, Man made the town. y + The Poor Farmer.?His work lies before the world. Every passer can look upon it s and record his judgment. There are his 5 house, his barn, his out-buildings, his impld- , ' meats, his horses and cattle. If he is a poor, farmer it will be seen in all these. His very ! house-yard and barn-yard speak 01 111s want ~ of industry and thrift in clear language. Yet ( there is no one more difficult to instruct or , reform than the man who is determined to ! pursue his own wretched course, in the face of all his own neighbors and the whole commu-. nity. If he is spoken to 011 the subject, he re- h . plies that he thinks-his mode of managing Jjis farm the best; he was a farmer bred, 'his- ? father a fanner before him ; And he has notli- ^ ing to learn from the jim-craek's course of , modern days, by which, tliough the land may yield more, the cost in making it do so is far c more than what hegains. As to his stock-, he c is opposed to stuffing cattle and producing diseases. As to his implements, when they are c worn out he may think about getting others, but sees 110 use in throwing away tools that ^ answer well enough. As to his house and , garden, they are the same his father had, and ,, if they were good enough for his father, what { right has he to complain ? p Germantown Telegraph. c Weevils in Granaries.?Some years fc since, accident discovered to a French farmer 1 a very simple and efficient method of pre- a venting, or rather destroying, this insiduous pest in corn and grain houses. Happening to deposit, in one corner of a ^ building in which there was stored a quantity A of grain, a few sheep skins from which the J1 wool had not been pulled, he found, upon ex- J amining thorn a few days after, that they were literally covered with dead weevils.-*- J The experiment was repeated, and always with the same result. . L On stirring the corn, (wheat, probably,) he ? was surprised to find, that although previously infested to a degree that forbade all hope 11 of saving it from immediate destruction by a this pertinacious foe, not a single insect was ? to be found among it. The experiment is u certainly -worth trying. What killed the . weevils, whether the fatty matter on the skin,- , or something else, we have not been able to [ learn. At any rate, let us try the woodchuek ^ skins.?.V. E. Farmer. ? Weeds.?One of the greatest nuisances in d farming is the way that weeds are encouraged a and protected in the crooks and vicinity of t| fences?from which place their seeds are SJ scattered over the surrounding lands. The h extent to which seed is carried by high winds b proves that one negligent farmer- may annoy P hundreds of farms by failing to exterminate ? the foul herbage. Could the evils be concen- c trated on-the farm which nurses the weeds, ^ the consequences would be a proper punishmcnt for his carelessness and criminality?for 0 criminal is any man whg nurtures nuisances 'l that thus injure the surrounding formers. 1* The fellow who keeps a bull-dog that annoys h if not bites the passing travelers, may be fi reached by the law tlmt is powerless to repress ^ the injury occasioned to his neighbors by the b nurseries of foul weeds which are harbored e) about his premises?especially in the vicinity ^ of his fences. ,l tl Fjkei'roof Wash for Shingles.?A wash U composed of lime, salt, and line sand or wood y ashes, put on in the ordinary way of white- ol washing, renders the roof fifty per cent, more k secure against taking fire from falling cinders, in ease of fire in the viciititv.

Sister Bell was just dressed forthe ball, anc he looked very beautiful in her white satii Iress, her necklace of diamonds and pearl? >o I presume she thought, as she looked int< ler mirror; and so thought her little fliste irace, who stood near her. Bell sat reading vhile the maid dressed her hair; and Grac< tood behind, her hands gliding gently, almos ovingly, over the diamonds and pearls "Take care, little sister! you will rumple m; iair. What are you doing ?" "Only looking at the bright stars in you Town, and thinking." "Thinking! What a child you are to think iVlmt are you thinking about?" ^ "0 ! what our teacher told us this morning vhen we read in the Bible." "And what has that to do with my dia nonds, Gracie?" "0!" she said, "All who go to heaven hav :rowns, and will be dressed in white; and I wa vondering if they'll look like you." "Nonsense, child ! Of course they won't. "Then," she said, "If we would try to ge omebody else to love Jesus, we should have; tar in our crown. Sister Bell, wouldn't yoi 1KU LU llUYc ofl Jiiuuj nuiia in ?wui vn/>?u *? leaven as you have in this one?" "O hush, Gracie! will you? There's th arriage!" And with a hasty kiss on the iif umed face, Bell was away to the ball. Soon Gracie went to her chamber; and b( ore she got into her little bed, she asked he saviour to help her fill her crown with star: She thought of one whom she would try t ead to Jesus the next day, and then askei ler dear Saviour to help that friend to lov lira. "Do, please, dear Saviour," she praVec 'make Emma a Christian, so there will b me more to love you, and I can have one sta n my crown to cast at thy feet."" Then Gri ue, leaning on Jesus' bosom, went to sleep. Sister Bell went to the ball, but the word if the little questioner kept ringing in he >ars. Every time she saw the flash of din nonds, she thought,? "Shall I have any stars in my crown ? o ihall I have any crown at all ? not if I thu vaste my life." With a heavy heart she dauced one or tw ;ets; and then balding the hostess good-b} she gladly left for home. She went to her chamber ; and laying asid ler jewels and white robes, she said, "I wii lever put them on to go to such a place agaii My first thought and care shall be for a hea\ mly crowfi and a robe of righteousness." She went into Gracie's room, and kneelin iy her side, kissed her sweet, sleeping face lien she said,? "De*r little sister, God helping me, yo ihall lead me back to Jesus." She retired to hor closet, and with prayer ind tears, asked her forgotten Saviour to foi jive all tlie past, and make her his own chile It was almost the dawn of a new day er 3ell sought her bed ; and it was indeed th lawning of a hew day to lief heart for the Su: >f Righteonsness had risen there.

DEEP PREACHING. i; This is the appellation .by which the pul i pit exercises of a certain class of minister r of the Gospel arc designated.* In mos ^ cases, it is impossible to get any intelligen t idea from the expression. Jn some hi stances, those who use it, seem to refer t f the subject, to which their attention wa called; at other times, reference seems t r . to be had to the manner in which the subjec ! was treated. So far as observation throw any light on this. subject, "deep prcachin and deep preachers" may be placed in fch catalogue of those things, by which me are stultified. In ninety-nine cases out c e everv hundred, it will be found, that dee %/ ^ ' B preachers arc those who quote Frencl ? Latin, or some unknown language in thci ,t pulpit exercises, by which the comrao a people are deceived, and led to give the t u tie of learned men to some pedantic rantei n This is one of the ways by which some me c are honored with D. D. Deep preachei )- are very frequently those who deal in vagri and unprofitable speculations about thing: which God, irt his wisdom, has seen fit t >r ? reveal very little either in his, word, c 0 'works. Hence we might expect the cot [1 gregations to which jhis class of "dee e preachers"minister, to grow in skepticisn 1 and increase in doubts, but to have littl e piety. Some times, "deep preachers" ai r those who have th'e peculiar gift of darl l" ening counsel by words without HleaniBj |9 This class of "deep preachers" has the gi :r of obscuring well developed subjects. Ei i- cry subject, even the plainest, become wrapped up in darkness and doubt, so soo |S as they touch it; and the mist, which the throw around the plain teachings of td o Bible, not unfrcquently, receives the hig r? sounding appellation of logical argument e There is a principle, which any one cq U test for himself, it is this. An individui i. can tell what he knows in such a manm that any one can understand him. Whgi g ever an individual says, UI know so an so; but I cannot tell it," such an ind vidual is simply mistaken. He only know 11 in part. His words are stammering,-b< cause his knowledge is not accurate.Deep preachers make deep preaching; an 1. both could most profitably, for the cause i e true religion, be dispensed with. Dee ? preaching is no preaching at all; and tb history of the church pro^efc, that it ha rl done no good. It is strange, that the most of men mei ? sure the mental powers of those, with whoi g they come in contact, by the jargon whic I they utter. The man who is bold enong to declare, he has been to Heaven, can gc r hearers and.disciples ir? tmy country; be i- the man who preaches Christ and him cri ii cified, is not often lauded. Joe Smith al tracted greater crowds, and had more af , mirers, than Christ himself. Mormonisir with all its foolish absurdities, has spreti I beyond a parallel in history. Popularit 1 is no test of usefulness; neither is it a tes s of intellect; much less is it a test of puritj .. nor will it ever be a test of these things, s s long as men lovfc darkness rather tha J. light. 1 Men do not need deep preaching. Th g sinner does not need it, for he is ignorfinl ; The saint does not need it, for "he is but 1 babe in Christ Jesus. The school teachei who would talk Latin to his English pupil* t might gain a reputation, but most assured 2 ly, not for common sense. The preache t of the Gospel, ,whq quotes Latin, or use ,r technical words and phrases to a plain con gregation, may be learned; but he wil I never have'the satisfaction of making hi - hearers wise, and devoutly pious. i ixfidelToIlleges. , The cause of religion has n- subject of re 3 joicing in the fact that throughout th ) whole Christian world, institutions of learn , ing are established, for educating the youth 1 In our country every Christian denomina 2 tion has a college under its entire control 1 The avowed object of these denorainationa institutions is to instill the Christian relig I ion in the youth of our country. Ever; body knows this, and every body expec | the Bible to be expounded in these institu tions. All of these denominational semi , naries have sectarian purposes to accom 1 plish, but still-there is no ill-feeling pro | duced by them. The supporters of on I delight in the prosperity of all of the oth ) ers. But where are the infidel polleges : Who knows of such a place ? Where i* i located ? Who is its president ? If ther p is such a place in the world I never hear* t, of it. There is not such an institution ii t America, except Girard College be claimei ' as infidel. Why is this, are there no infi t dels in our country ? Yes, there are many Every little country village can boast o ' being the home of some one, who scoffs a I the Bible, and sneers at God s peoplelaughs at their inconsistencies, and de j lights to magnify their faults. These infi " dels reproach ministers of the Gospel a: ignorant, and professed christians as stu . pidly credulous. But where is the evideflci of wisdom being the peculiar possession o ' infidels. Has this class of society don* anything, but laugh and sneer to dispel th* t darkness which it declares so loudly sur i rounds the christian world. Not one thing They cannot do anything. They are pow ' erless. They have the will and the mean! I but can control neither. Infidels are sel fish in the extreme. They are often rich 1 but never liberal. Infidels have no confi dence in each other. They cannot trus ; each other sufficiently to permit each othei > to handle the brick and mortar, procurec [ by contributed funds, which would be ne ( cessary to build the walls of an ordinary . school house. i Infidels ridicule christians for many in consistencies; for a want of enterprise; foi I ignorance. Hut who is inconsistent in fact' . Who can name the school supported by in fidels? Who can give the name of anj institution of any kind, or character, devi* sed and maintained by infidels ? Is it a rail - road, if so, where is it ? Is it anything - useful or ornamental ? Professed christians not only build churches and support them, but they build and support schools' houses, colleges, and institutions of learnit" ing generally. If the infidel father desires t to educate his children, he is dependent on i- christians for all the requisites to meet such o desire. s This state of things proves that christio anity is light and liberty, and that infidelity it i? darkness and slavery. If the benign ins fluences of Christianity were suddenly withg -drawn, moral and intellectual darkness e would shroud the world in hopeless gloom. ,f A TABLE Showing the Value of Confederate Money in UniP ted Stnte.s Curreney, as established by* the I>egj islaUire of South Carolina. 1861.

M- Grist, the successful proprietor of th( Yorkville Enquirer, to publish for me, I expect tc 1 issue on the FIRST DAY OF JULY next, th< 1 first number of The Working Christian, aweel? 1 ly Religipus Newspaper, to be elegantly printed with new type, on good paper, and to contair ' twenty-four wide columns. ' This enterprise has originated in the conviction 1 that such a paper is, at this time, specially needec 1 among our churches>-to stir Hp the "pure minds 1 of Christians" and "provokethem to love and good r works," It wHl contain valuable reading on mat1 ters of practical importance, and will be specially devoted to the interests of the Christian Religion, Its title?WORKING CHRISTIAN?partially defines the -character of our paper, and snggeeti the department m which we nope It wiij principally labor. The epithet WORKING, Is not.to b< understood as opposing or excluding the gospel faith which we are ever to hold and.contend for; ' but as it was necessary for Paul to-attend chlefit to the mysteries of faith, and James to the depart raent of works, so we propose, tot the most part, to leavo the contending-for the faith to others, and content ourselves by saying to all, "faith without works is dead." We desire to send oat our herald weekly, to sound the alarm in the ears of uk churches: "Awake! Awake t put on thy strength, 0 Zion and to earnestly beseech every Christian in the laud to "work while It is day." The term CHRISTIAN is intended to embrac? nothing more nor less than the word strictly imports, via: a follower of CAmf,such as tvero they, who were "first tailed. Christians at Antioch." It will contain the leading intelligence of the religious world as to Missions, and sympathize witi every enterprise which has for its aim th? ptogress of the Savionr's kingdom. It will wafcl the movements of the churches?seek out working churches arid working men, and report their operations and successes. Its columns will coptain, also, items of general intelligence. It will take nc partin polities, further than to give the \itemt pe' Iitical news. Information on farming and gardening, on education and all the departments ol useful industry, will-be found in our paper. Special attention will be paid to the cause ol Sabbath Schools. Indeed, wo hope to make our paper very interesting to the young. TERMS?INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE.
