^tumorous Ijepartwent. ; AN APT SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLAR. The following story, though not new, has sufficient point and humor to merit its publication at least once a year: Some roguish boys in a town near the capital of New Hampshire persuaded Joseph Jasper, or, as he was generally called, Joe, to attend Sabbath School. 4 Joe was an overgrown, half-witted, profane 1 lad, and the boys anticipated fun; but the i various questions propounded to him were so ] readily and correctly answered that no one j nAii Am. a Ywrtmnnf onnivioo fViat ha waa nnt I , vvuiu iua a muuiuiiu ou|y^vov vuuv uv huw mvw j versed in theological lore. , Joe was duly ushered in and placed upon a settee in front of one on which his friends ] were seated, and the examination commenced. I The teacher first questioned the class on ] their regular lessons, and then turned toward ( Joe. "My friend, who made the world we inhabit?" 1 Just as he was probably about to answer 1 the question, one of the boys seated behind i him, inserted a pin into his (Joe's) pants, about nine inches below the ornamental but- ] tons on his coat. " God Almighty /" answered Joe, at the ' same time rising to his feet. "That is correct," answered the teacher, "but it is not necessary that you should rise in answering; a sitting posture is just as well." Joe was seated, and the catechism proceeded. "Who died to save the world ?" The pin was again inserted. "Jesus Christ!" in a louder tone than before, again rising to his feet. </mi a* i i -a i j . "mat is correct, dus ao not manuesc so much feeling; do be a little more reserved in your manners," said the teacher, in an expostulating tone of voice. After Joe had calmed down, the examination went on. "What will be the final doom of all wicked men ?" was the subject now up for consideration, and as the pin was again stuck in, Joe thundered out, with a still higher elevation of his body: "Hell and Damnation !" "My friend, you give the answer to all the questions correctly, but while you are here we wish you to be a little more mild in your words. Do, if you can, restrain your enthusiasm and give a less extended scope to your feelings." ? ? A STUDENT'S JOKE. Ebenezer Sweet, of Brunswick, is a provision dealer. He had been a "meat man" in Brunswick for the last half century, and has probably furnished Bowdoin students tougher meat and harder swearing than they ever experienced in after life. Ebenezer is considerable of a wag, but a story is told in Brunswick, which shows at least on one occasion he was outwitted. A student called into the market one morning, and seeing a large trunk full of eggs on the floor, eyed it very wisely for some moments and thus accosted Sweet: "I will wager twenty-five cents that I can jump into that tub and not break an egg." "You can't do it," said Sweet "I'll stake twenty-five cents I can, said the student. "Well, here's twenty-five," continued Sweet, "put up your money." The money was accordingly put into the hands of a third party, and the student prepared for the difficult encounter. In a moment he made a leap, and the mo meut he fell crash into the tub of eggs and rested his feet on the bottom?breaking nearly all the eggs in the tub. "There," exclaimed Sweet in a fury of delight "you've lost, I knew you couldn't do it," not thinking in his delight of winning anything but that. "Well," replied the student as he cooly i turned and went out of the market. "There's your twenty-five cents." i It was a long time before Ebenezer recovered from the effects of that joke. Henry Clay and the Billy Goat.? i Formerly a very large, well-known, and some- . what noted billy goat roamed at large in the ' streets of Washington, and the newspaper boys, boot-blacks, and street imps generally ] made common cause against him. Henry Clay never like to see dumb animals abused or worried, and on one occasion while passing ' down the avenue, a large crowd of these mis- < chievous urchins were at their usual sport. Mr. Clay, with his walking-stick, drove them ( away, giving them a sound lecture in the meanwhile. As they scampered and scatter- . ed in every direction, Billy, seeing no one but Mr. Clay within reach made a charge on 1 him. Clay dropped his cane and caught his goatship by the horns. The goat would rear 1 up, being nearly as high as the tall Kentuckian himself, and the latter would pull him down again. This sort of sport soon became tiresome, and he could conceive of no way by which he could free himself from the twohorned dilemma, so in his desperation he sang out to the boys to know what to do. One of the smallest in the crowd shouted back: "Let go and run, you d?d fool!" Clay always maintained that though he signed the treaty of neaee ntOhent. vet that racrtred hnv knew more than he did.' The Schoolmaster Abroad.?An itinerant preacher in the mountain districts of Kentucky, attempting to explain how it was that the Israelites crossed the Red Sea in safety when the Egyptians were swallowed up by the returning waters, said the Jews being unarmed "went light," but the pursuing host, with their chariots and heavy armor, broke through the ice. It being suggested that no ice was found so near the tropics, he promptly replied, "0, that was before the days of Jography!" tS?F Boswell asked Johnson if there was no possible circumstance under which suicide would be justifiable. "No," said Johnson. "Well," said Boswell, "suppose a man had been guilty of fraud and he was certain he would be found out." "Why, then," was the reply, "iu that case let him go to some country where he is not known, and not to the devil where he is known." ? When a vender of greens in Boston was endeavoring to dispose or his stock, his poor old nag balked, and refused to budge an inch. The driver finally commenced belaboring the animal with a stick, when an old lady thrust her head out of a window and exclaimed, "Have you no mercy!" "No, madam," re-_!

He sent his money, and received the answer: "Take in your well or cistern cold nights and keep it by the fire." ?+ -> ? ?

[Original.] ( THE PROGRESS OP CRIME. r One of the characteristics of the nineteenth r century is the alarming amount of heinous j crimes which are perpetrated all over the 1 world. Murders, rape, incest and swindling, y ire common things in almost every comtnu- f nity. Every newspaper, secular and relig- r lous, brings us the news that some foul act ) Lias been committed. The truth is, such is ^ the general immorality of the times, that the rTA**rr ^rMin^ofinn aP nioil CAniofv ia flirPfitflnAfl J wuuu",,,'u v"" ~ (. We seem to be living in the time of some of the Roman Emperors, when what was true t ind honest and just and pure and lovely and ^ i)f good report was ignored, and the contrary j vices practiced. The world actually seems to j us to be more completely under the control ] of Satan, than it did fifteen or twenty years , ago. As a proof of this, men, generally, have j very little confidence in each other. It is t humiliating to make the confession ; but facts j are facts. We do not mean to make the im- i pression that all virtue is banished from the , land ; but we are forced to believe that there \ is less virtue and more vice in our country j to-day than at any former period in its histo- j ry. Our people were once less polished than j they now are. Once they were rough and uncouth in their acts and words. Now they are refined and polished in acts of wickedness and deeds of crime. Another unfavorable characteristic of the i present age is ignorance. Let no one stare at this declaration. It is true. Ignorance, j gross ignorance, is most assuredly one of the characteristics of the present age. We do i not mean that the nineteenth century is mark- ( ed by ignorance of what is termed the arts and sciences. In this respect we are wise, but not so wise as we think we are. When we say that ignorance is a characteristic of the present generation, we mean that it is ignorance of the Bible. Generally, Christians have very little knowledge of the Bible. Not one i i i it: * in every ten in unristian lanas nas any imug . like a well digested knowledge of what tho ( Bible teaches. It canDot be uninteresting to inquire into j the causes of these things. Why is it that , there is so much crime? Why is it that Christians are to ignorant of the Bible ? The j history of the world seems to teach the fact . that wealth and crime are in some way or j other inseparably connected. Large cities . have always been the scenes of heinous sin. ! The palaces of kings and noblemen have al- j ways been witnesses of outrages, both in a social and moral point of view. Poverty and ' humility are intimately associated. The ( piety of David never was greater than when in the midst of his greatest earthly calamities. To both these statements there are many ex- j ceptions; but the principle in the main will j Btand the most searching test. When all the people are equal in possessions, or nearly so, 1 there is little room for oppression, and scarce- ' ly any ground for pride. In a community in ' which some are immensely rich, and others 1 horribly poor, there is oppression and pride. 1 The rich look down upon the poor with con- ! tempt, and the poor in their hearts despise ' the rich. There is mutual hatred which de- * velops itself into crime. Blinded by the love of gold, men rush headlong into crimes of ( all kinds. "Money is the root of all evil," 1 is the teaching of the Bible, and the history of ( the world proves that it is true. Wealth gives 1 position. Honors await the man of wealth. ] "Mammon wins his way where seraphs might 1 despair." The high places of earth are usually filled by men who have little fear of God J before their eyes. The great men of the 1 American nation are men of notorious crime. * The multitude ape these. Crime runs down * from the representative men of the nation, as * the rivers run down from the springs amongst the hills and mountains. This is no fanciful ^ notion. The children of Israel were corrupt- * ed by their judges and kings. They moulded ^ the morals of the people. Such is our pres- 1 ent condition. Our rulers are drunkards and ' debauchees. By them the Sabbath day is 1 broken, and the marriage relation is practi- * cally trampled under loot. The saDDatn is the base of all morality amongst men, and the social fabric is builded upon the marriage relation. If it be asked why there is so much Bible ignorance, the answer is, we are not taught the Bible. "We teach our children, at the present time, everything but the Bible. Parents commit the religious education of their children to the church, and the church commits the work to Sabbath school teachers. With all due respect for Sabbath schools and Sabbath school teachers, we must be permitted to say that they were never designed to do the work of a parent. The Sabbath school is a good thing in its place; but that place is inferior to that of a parent. Fifty years ago parents devoted far more attention to the religious education of their children than parents of the present day do. Now children are taught a kind of milk and water theology which neither strengthens the intellect nor develops the divine life. Another reason for the religious ignorance of the present day is to be found in the kind of preaching we have. Preaching in its Bible sense is teaching. In its modern acceptation, itis synonymous with declamation. The pulpit exercises of modern times, resemble a sophomoric speech more than anything else. The idea of instructing the congregation in religious truths, is the least of the preacher's thought. There is more gospel truth in one of the sermons that was preached after and during the reformation, than could be extracted from the exercises of a modern preacher during a whole year. The appetites of the people have become morbid, and preachers crenerallv nreoare a dish that suits them. O J MT~ ~M The very kind of preaching that people gene- ] rally need, is the very kind that they will not i endure. The majority of most modern con- j gregations, desire something that will tickle 1 the fancy. They want a bouquet of flowers < grandly arranged and placed in Latin and < Greek and French vases. It is strange, but < it is unaccountably true, that most Christian congregations are pleased with fustian. Another reason for the prevailing ignorance j amongst the professed people of God at the | present day, is the manner in which the visi-, j ble church is collected. The effort by all j i denominations seems to be to build up their I ] particular church as it is denominated. It is i' a religious struggle conducted upon partizan j principles. The main objects of Christianity * are lost sight of, and what is justly second in importance, and in results, is made first. Men think they have done the Lord's work , ( faithfully when they have induced individuals ' < to connect themselves with their particular { branch of the church, without inquiring whether such individuals have been savingly i ] converted or not. The business of the church i i is, clearly, to induce men to come to Jesus j t and live lives of faith. At present everything j ( is done backward. Profession is regarded 1 j as every thing and practice nothing. J t Mdttn'si gcpartmcnt. j f Original.] AUGUSTUS. The second, in point of time, of the twelve I'esars, was called Augustus. His father's lame was Caius Octavius, and his mother's lame was Attia, who was the daughter of lulia, the sister of Julius Ctesar. This made Augustus the grand nephew of Julius Csesar. iVhen Augustus was only four years old, his ather died. In a short time his mother marled a man by the name of Lucius Philippus. iVhen Augustus was sixteen years old, his jreat uncle, Julius Ctesar, took him under ita nliorrro onrl mnrip lrnnwn hia inl.pnt.inna >f making him his heir. When he was sevinteen or eighteen years old, he went with his incle on his expedition into Spain. After his Augustas was sent to Apollonia, to compete his education, and be ready to go with Tulius Cajsar on his expedition against the Parthians. In the meantime, Julius Caesar vas put to death. When this event was earned, many individuals advised Augustus ,o avenge the death of his uncle. He thought t best to go to Rome as a private individual. When on his return, he came to Brundisiura, vhere he learned the particulars of the death of lis uncle, and also that by his will, he was made lis heir. He determined at once to consent # the adoption, and took the name of Caesar. Before tins his name was Caius Octavius. Immediately after the death of Julius Caesar, the Roman people were divided into two parties. The party that put Julius Caesar to leath called themselves Republicans, or friends of the Republic. Antony and Lipilus headed a party which claimed to be the 7riends of Caesar. They pretended to have it in view to avenge the death of Caesar. The latter party was much the stronger. Julius Caesar had won the affection of the multitude if the people; besides there were many old aoldiers who had been led to victory by Caejar, who were now ready to avenge his death. The object of botb Antony ana ljepiaus was to promote their own selfish ends. Antony treated Augustus very meanly. He lid all that he could to prevent him from being adopted into the Julian family. Augustus, in order that he might get rid of Antony, hired some ruffians to murder him in his own house. The plot did not succeed. Generally, it was thought that Antony circulated the report that Augustus had laid a plan to have him murdered, in order to inj'ure Augustus. Both Augustus and Antony and Lepidus collected an army. The most of the old soldiers oined Augustus. At last they met and adusted all their difficulties. They formed a iriumvirate?a union of three men?Lepidus, A.ntony and Augustus, who at this time was jailed Octavius. This was a terrible union. A.ntony hated Cicero, and demanded that his lame should be added to the number of those who were to be put to death. Cicero had been the friend of Augustus, or Octavius, as be was then called. Octavius deserted him ind left him to the mercy of Antony. This }ne deed left an indelible stain upon the jharacter of Octavius. Cicero was the best nan Rome ever produced. In fact Cicero nay be regarded as the greatest man amongst die ancient heathen. He died when he was In his 64th year, a sacrifice to the mad arabiiion of a fool. In this notorious triumvirate, Lepidus held jnly a nominal position, and Antony and Ociavius soon got rid of him. Antony abanloned himself to profligacy. He divorced his wife Octavia, the sister of Octavius, and marfled, or rather lived in a state of concubinage with the celebrated Cleopatra, queen of Egypt, fhis insulted every body at Rome, and ruined A.ntony in the eyes of his own officers. Uctarius made war against Cleopatra. Both she ind Antony committed suicide. Octavius ;hen became sole possessor of the Roman government with the title of Tribune for life. The Senate and people of Rome loaded him vith offices and titles. He was made con;roller of all things both religious and secuar. Amongst the titles given him was Augustus, the name by which he is generally inowu in history. In honor of him the sixth nonth of the Roman year was called Augusts, which we have changed into the English vord August. In no point of view was Augustus equal to lis great uncle Julius Ciesar, unless it were in irofligacy and crimes. Augustus had some nilitary talents, but not of such a character is to place him amongst the first military nen of antiquity. His literary attainments vere about equal to that of the public men of he time. He possessed the skill of pleasing ,he Roman people, and this seems to have ieen his great object. The poet Horace often speaks very favora)ly of Augustus, but he is to be suspected of lattery on such occasions. There was very ittle about Augustus that is worthy of iraita;ion. He had some virtues, but a multitude if vices. He did some good deeds, but they ire all obscured by his notorious crimes. In lis case, as in every other, sin and misery vere inseparably connected. Although he ,vas a great profligate himself, he seems to lave been anxious that his family would act lecently. This was not the case. His daugher Julia was an abandoned woman and filled ?io Drill 1 n-ItVi (Vriof T-To VlOrl tin ?nnS ftTlfl eems to have been singularly unfortunate in ,vooiug those whom he designed to make his leir. Marcellus the son of his sister died vhen young. Virgil in his ASueid pays a high ;ribute to this youth for which he was liber* illy rewarded. In person, Augustus is said to have been ivhat we call good-looking. In height he ,vas below the medium ; his hair was of a yelowish brown and inclined to curl. His eyes A-ere bright and sparkling. Physically he vas a delicate man, his health was neyer ;ood. Still he lived to be an old man. He lied at Nola on the 19th of August in the 14th ^ear of the Christian era. He had reigned it Rome for a period of forty-three years. During his time Rome was very corrupt. It aad reached its highest glory and made all its 3onque3ts in the days of the Republic. Its lecline was now evident and its final fate injvitable. ? Bears Helping Each Other.?A gentleman was once making inquiries in Russia ibout the method of catching bears in that country. He was told that, to entrap them, r pit was dug several feet; and after covering it over with turf, leaves, etc., some food was placed on the top. The bear, if tempted by die bait, easily fell into the snare. "But," he added, "if four or five happen to ?et in together, they all manage to get out igain." "How is that?" asked the gentleman. "They form a sort of ladder by stepping on lach other's shoulders, and thus make their iscape." "But how does the bottom one get out ?" "Ah ! these bears, though not possessing a nind and a soul such as God has given us, ret can feel gratitude; and they won't forget he one who had been the chief means of projuring their liberty. Scampering off, tney etch a branch of a tree, which they let down ,o their poor brother, enabling him speedily to join them in the freedom in which they rejoice." Sensible bears, we should say, and a great deal better than some people that we near about, who never help any body but themselves. ijorMIr (ibquiw.

THEYORKVILLE ENQUIRER FOR 1872. THREE ORIGINAL PRIZE STORIES. , ? PREMIUMS FOR CLUBS, &C. In announcing the commencement of the next volume of the Enquirer, which will be the eighteenth year of its publication, the proprietor is gratified at being aDle to say that the encouragement he has received has been the most flattering; and he feels that if success is a test' of merit, his efforts to place before the people of the State and the South a first-class literary and family papfcr, have not been entirely unavailing. With the exception of a constant endeavor to improve upon the past, the essential features of the Enquirer which have so greatly contributed to its popularity, will remain unchanged. Quoting the legend under the heading of the Enquirer, it is "An Independent Family Newspaper: for the Promotion of the Political, Social, Agricultural and Commercial Interests of the South and in treating the current themes of the day, while it is independent in its efforts to accomplish the object in view, it does not discuss questions in a partisan and acrimonious spirit; it being the true mission of a newspaper to place before its readers such facta as are likely to promote the general good. This is the course we have pursued for years, and the course we shall continue to pursue in the future, feeling satisfied that the I "plans of fair delightful peace, unwarped by party rage," are more conducive to the general welfare of the people than angry discussion and bitter | crimination. THE LITERARY FEATURE Of the new volume will be more attractive than it has ever been heretofore. We have already secured throe Original Stories, written expressly for the Enquirer, from the pens of the most charming and graceful writers of newspaper serials? l the Stories entitled respectively: | "OAKHURST ROMANCE," by Mrs. Henry Deas, of San Francisco, California, authoress of "The Lost Diamond;" "AN HEIRESS IN HER OWN RIGHT," by Mrs. Emily J.
