A Clkbical Anecdote.?Some thirty-five or forty years ago, a Mr. Williams, a clergyman of the old school, somewhat eccentric, came to Salem from the country to exchange desks with one of his brethren in the ministry. During the Sunday noon intermission, he said to his daughter: 'I am going to lie down. If St. Paul himself comes, don't disturb me." Mr. Bently, who preached in the East Church, and who had Been very intimate with Mr. Williams, but had not seen him for several years, hearing that he was in town, hurried off, after dinner, to make his old friend a call. "Where is brother Williams ?" he inquired, as he met the daughter. "He can't be disturbed, sir, even if St. Paul should call." "I must see him!" was the impatient rejoinder, in the inimitable manner peculiar to Mr. Bently. Resistance to such a "must" was out of the question. The room of the sleeper was invaded, and with no gentle shake and a corresponding voice, Sir. Williams was aroused. He was delighted to see his old iriena uentiy, reiterating with fervency his gratification. "I think brother Williams, that you are a little inconsistent." "How so, brother Bently ?" "Didn't you tell your daughter you were not to be disturbed even if St. Paul called ? yet you seem very glad to see me." "No, no, brother; not inconsistent at all. I was?I am glad to see you. The apostle Paul! why, I hope to spend a blessed eternity with him; but you, brother Bently, I never expected to see you again." Another Rev. Joker.?The Rev. Samuel Clawson, a Protestant Methodist preacher of eccentric manners, sometimes called the "wild man," was very popular in Western Virginia some twenty years ago. He was cross-eyed and wiry made, and very dark-skinned for a white man. At times he was surprisingly eloquent, always excitable, and occasionally extravagant. He once accompanied a brother minister, Rev. Mr. R., a prominent pastor, tnuU +r\ o norrvn Afr T? Orfl VP 1X1 (V ViCXI/ IV 4* UVgtV VMMVU* ^??T V the negro preacher the hint, and, of course, Clawson was invited to preach. He did so, and, during the sermon, set the impulsive Africans to shouting all over the house. This, in turn, set Clawson to extravagant words and actions, and he leaped out of the pulpit like a deer, and began to shake the hands of the negro brethren and mix in quite happily. He wept for joy. Then, passing through the crowd, he found brother R., and, sitting down beside him, he'threw his arras around his neck, ami, with tears sereaming down his cheeks, he said: "Brother R., I almost wish I had been born a nigger. These folks have more religion than we have." "Well, well," said brother R., "you come so near it that you needn't cry about it." A Slight Mi9UND?bstadixg.?A lady employed a young girl about fifteen years old to assist her about her house-work, and one day she was making some cake, and wished to put some kind of plums in it; so she set a disn down on the table, with the plums, and told the girl to stone them. To show her how, the mistress took up a plum and took out the stone, with the remark, "That is the way;" and then, thinking the girl understood what she meant, she put the plum she had stoned into her mouth, instead of into the dish, and went away. What was her surprise, a short time after, when the girl came into the room where she was, and told her she had eaten all she could! The lady went into the room where she had been at work, and found that she had put all the stones into the dish, and eaten nearly all the plums. The girl told her that she thought the hard pieces?meaning the stones?would soften up when baked in the cake. The Irishman and tiie Fiddle.?An Irishman, just come to this country, had never seen a fiddle. A man came into the hotel wnxi one uiiuer ma ami, aau iic^an iu n> up. One of the screws slipped, and he spat upon it to make it hold, and then began to draw the bow. The Irishman, who was watching him could stand it no longer, but bolted across the street into another hotel, exclaiming : "I thought this was a land of freedom, but the devil take such a land where ye abuse the poor children so bad." Landlord?"Who is abusing the children?" "Why, a man came into the tavern just now, with a little boy under his arm, and he began to torment the little crather. First, he began to pull and twist his ears, then, to provoke him more, he spit in his face, and then he drew a briar across his belly, and Howly Virgin! how he did scream!" Caught ox that Damned Jury Again. A gentleman residing some miles from the city, says an exchange, has been in the habit frequently of sending his waiting boy with the buggy back home, with the following message : "Tell rav wife I'm caught on that d?d jury again." ft is wife to be sure, little suspected that the jury were a set of boon companions bent on a "high old time," and the determination not to "go home till morning." A few days since he sent said waiter-boy to town after some necessary articles. The boy fell in with his friends, got elevated and top heavy and pitched out of the buggy. The horse and buggy arrived home all right but the boy did not make his appearance until next day. With stern countenance our juryman called the boy up and demanded why he did not come up at the proper time. "Fore God, Massa, I was cotched on the de d?d jury!" For the Benefit of the Poor.?A lot minstrels of a western city started out on a "tour" recently. They went to a town not far away, and advertised " to give a performance for the "benefit of the poor; tickets reduced " TKo lioll \uno /irflntmorl W vvuw. A11V UMil f(uw viMutiuvu full. The next morning a committee for the poor called upon the 'treasurer of the concern for the amount said benefit had netted. The treasurer expressed astonishment at the demand. "I thought," said the chairman of the committee, "you advertised this concert for the benefit of the poor?" Replied the treasurer: "Didn't we put our tickets down to twenty-five cents, so that the poor could all come ?" The committee vanished. An inveterate tobacco chewer was in the habit of declaring about once a month that he would "never chew another piece," but broke his pledge as often as he made it On one occasion, shortly after he had "broken off for good," he was seen taking another chew.? "Why," said his friend, "you told me you had given up that habit; but I see you at it again." "Yes," he replied, "I have gone to chewing and left off lying." ? 4 jfcjT The following conversation occurred between a graceless boy and his teacher: 'What does your father do when he sets down at the table?' 'He asks for the brandy bottle.' 'I don't mean that. Well, then, what does youi mother do when you sit down at the table ?' 'She says she will wring our necks if we spill any grease 011 the floor.' 4 -4 a@-Josh Billings says keep both ize open, but don't see rnore'n half you notis.

The result is as follows: First 11 day 822 pounds; second 881; third 900; fourth v 915, and fifth 1055; total amount 4573, being u an average of228 pounds to the hand. Pretty C; good picking, this. * a It is stated that the Commissioner of Inter- a nal Revenue has prepared a circular of in- j structions, to be sent to the deputy assessors f of each district, in reference to the assessment ' of the income tax. A thorough re-canvass of each division is to be made after October 1st. ' Every house must be visited, and the names v of the inmates obtained. Persons who have tl no income to be taxed must make an affidavit p of that fact, and those who have made 110 returns are to be summoned to appear at the office of the assessor, and in case of failure to respond, are subject to a penalty. The duty a of energetic action is impressed upon the as- e sessors. t: General N. B. Forrest made a speech at a s barbecue in DeKalb county, Georgia, on t; Saturday, in which he said he was for ft peace and development; and that the widows and orphans of the war should be cared for.

ORIGINAL AND SELECTED, j INFIDELITY. In every age of the world and in every :ountry, infidelity, in some form or other, has ixisted. This is not strange. Man, by naure, is a 9inner, and we might expect all his tcts to be of a rebellious character. Men iniversally hate God because they have vitiated his law. By this hatred we demonstrate the depravity of our hearts and our piritual blindness to our best interests. Most if infidels manifest not only heart depravity, >ut intellectual ignorance. "The fool hath aid in his heart there is no God." No more ippropriate title could be given to the atheist. Te denies the testimony of his senses. But there is a class of individuals who opflip fpflphintrR nf the Bihlr; on the cround hat it is not the word of God. These persons ry every thing by their reason, and conclude hat the Bible will not stand this test. But he truth is, most of those who make so much >arade about reason are very unreasonable, rhey will be found to be exceedingly ignorant >f the teachings of the Bible. Thej^pondemn t unheard. What facts they have learned ibout the Bible have been received from the nouths of the enemies of the Bible. They lo not search the Bible for themselves, but eceive, as true, what some calumniator says, rhis is a most unreasonable course of proceedire. No man that was searching after truth eould take such a course. The Bible courts investigation, and moral lonesty demands that it be carefully examined lefore it is condemned. There can be no dificulty in coming to the conclusion that the lible is the word of Go<^or that it is not. If t is the word of God, oommon sense teaches is that it should be treated with that revernce which its heavenly origin demands. If t is only the production of mere men, then ts teachings should have that weight which heir merit'claim. No sensible man can have ,ny doubt whether a tree is the work of God r man. He knows a tree is not the work of nan; for no created being can make a sprig of ?ass, much less a stately oak. By the same irocess, we conclude the Bible is the work of lod. It bears the impress of His hand as auch as the oak of the forest does. There is a practical argument for the Bible, ind against infidelity, which those who claim o be infidels ought to ponder well. It is this. U1 those who reject the Bible as a rule of aith and action, are morally and mostly very >ad men, whilst all those who practice the irecepts of the Bible are good men. Practial infidelity makes thieves and robbers, mur[erers and midnight assassins, drunkards and lebauchees?haters of God and man. A ommunity filled with Bible rejecters would resent a vivid picture of the lake that burns pith fire and brimstone, inhabited by beings illed with malice and hatred. On the other and, the practical reception of the Bible aakes the bad man a good man. It is no peak argument for the Bible that all good aen love, and all bad men hate it. But some individuals reject the Bible beause there is some of it that they cannot fully inderstand. This is puerile in the extreme. ?here are none of God's works that we can unlerstand. No man has learned the philosophy which will explain the simplest part of reation. No man understands any thing ally. If we are at liberty to believe nothing hat we cannot understand, we must believe othing, not even our own existence. All rod's works are strangely made. There is a oint beyond which we cannot go. Chemical nd capillary attraction will, in part, explain rhy the sap circulates in the towering pine ; ut they explain it only in part, and hence he philospher calls into his aid, in explaining he process, what he calls the vital principle, 'his is h.11 well ennnp-h. But it is evident bere is something about the process which o one understands. Mystery hangs over the mallest grain of sand. Every man is forced > see every thing through a glass darkly, tut this is no argument that God is not the uthor of creation. On the contrary, that lystery which envelops every thing, teaches iat the hand that made the universe is dime. Is there a sane man any place on the lobe who will say that there is no sand, or bat sand is not sand, or that God did not lake sand, because there is something mysteious about sand ? To reject the Bible because we cannot uuerstand it, is very silly. Nine-tenths of all :ie practical truth that any man possesses are iere matters of faith. Even those things hioh are the inventions of man, are not fully nderstood by those who practice them. Men an and do practice things which they do not illy understand, with profit to themselves nd those with whom they come in contact, f no man would do anything which he did not illy understand, the most industrious would ild his arms in idleness. The blacksmith rould never make his anvil ring, the fanner ;ould never plant one grain of corn, because bere is much about these professions that is ast his skill to understand. The man who ejects the Bible because of its mysteriousness, o be consistent, ought to reject every thing in rt and science, especially in science, for scince and the Bible make known the same rutn out in a cunerent way. Jt,verytning in cieucc points to God, the author of all; every hing in the Bible points to God who, in the iegiuning, created all things. A Beautiful Sentiment.?Sorrow so>ers us, and makes the mind genial. And in orrow we love and trust our fiiends more enderly, and the dead become dearer to us. Lnd just as the stars shine out in the nights, o there are blessed faces that look at us in ur grief, though before their features were tiding from our recollection. Suffering! Let 10 man dread it too much, because it is better or him, and it will help to make him sure of ieing immortal. It is not in the bright days, iut only in the solemn night, that other worlds are to be seen shining in the long listances. And it is sorrow?the night of he soul?that we see the farthest, and know urselves natives of infinitv and sous nd daughters of the Most High ? ? Calvary is a little hill to the eye, but it i the only spat on earth that touches heaven, .lie Cross is foolishness to human reason, and stumbling-block to human righteousness; but here only do mercy and truth meet together nd righteousness and peace kiss each other, esus Christ was a man of low condition, and ied a death of shame on an accursed tree; iut there is salvation in no other. ? ? 4 I feel as if God had, by giving the Sab?ath, given fifty springs in the year.?S.
