I luv you all over, from the soul of your foot to the hed of your crown, an' I don't keer who knows it; an' ef you say so, we'll be jined in the holy bands of t padlock. Epluribus onions, gloria Monday s morning, sick temper tarantula, non compi- t mentus, world without end," sez I, an' I felt as thou' I had throwed like an alligator, I ? felt so relieved. 11 With that she fotched a scream, an' arter t awhile she sed : v "Peter!" f "What is it, Sally?" r "Yes," sed she, hiding her-face. You may depend upon it, I felt orful good. "Glory! glory!" sez I, "I most holler, Sal, ^ or I'll burst wide open. Hooray I hooray ! 8 I can jump over a ten-rail fence; I can do li anything a fellow could or ort to do." r With this, I sorter sloshed myself down be- ] side her and clinched the bargain with a kiss.

Religious Tolerance.?The following is I a characteristic incident in the life of Deacon, b Bolles, who was an eminent type of the age in 3 which he lived,for personal and private worth, a both as a man and Christian. When the Baptists of Hartford began to ? hold public services, an over-zealous member c of Dr. StroDg's society called upon him, and asked him if he knew that John Bolles had t started an opposition meeting. a "No," said he; "when? Where?" t "Why, at the old Court House." t "0, yes, I know it," the doctor carelessly replied; "but it's not an opposition meeting. They are Baptists, to be sure, but they preach a the same doctrine that I do. You had better c r?n unil knav fkom " ? gv HUM UVHi VUWUIt * "No," said the man; "I am a Presbyterian." t "So am I," rejoined Dr. Strong; "but that v need not prevent us from wishing them well. You had better go." "No," said the man, with energy, "I shen't J go near them. Dr. Strong, ain't you going to do something about it ?" "What?" "Stop it; can't you ?" "My friend," said the doctor, seriously, "John Bolles is a good man, and will surely go to heaven. If you and I get there we will meet him, and had better, therefore, cultivate a pleasant acquaintance with him here." What was he Doing??Not long ago a gay young merchant who lives at the South* end told his elderly wife that he was compelled from considerations of expediency to take a customer from the country to,the theatre. When his elderly wife made comments upon the elaborate nature of his toilet for a rural person of the male sex, be replied, "0, you see every thing depends upon impressing that sort of people favorably." At this moment th? merchant's office boy made his appearance. "Well," said the deceiving husband, "did you see the gentleman I sent you to ?" "Yes, sir," replied the messenger. "And you told him 1 had tickets for the theatre?" "Yes, sir, and he said he was much obliged to you, and he would be happy to go with you, and he would wait for you." "What was he ^ doing V said the unsuspecting wife, careless- _ ly. "He was just fastening the strings of his j, pullback," answered the ingenuous youth. . He found himself less than a moment after- * on tV.ft oarUlmn, ?rlwre4w> lwtouml witli t a sweet smile to the shrill sounds of a woman's t voice from within. v g The Bridal Chamber.?He was tall and t awkward, and she was short and bashful, but v both wore a nervous aspect of exceeding great j joy. They entered a hotel in Chicago, arid v after he had registered his name "and lady," t he said to the clerk, "See here, mister, me and .. my wife have just been spliced, and I am go- r iug to show Amanda Chicago, if it takes a j mule a day. Now give us one of them rooms t like the Temple of Solomon, you know." The 8 clerk called a row-boy, and said "Show this v geutleman to the bridal chamber;" At this . direction the tall rustic became ihstantly ex- 8 cited. "Not by a durned sight! Ye shiny- c haired, biled-shirted, dollar-breast-pinned, grinning monkey, ye can't pipy that on me! f If I am from the country, ytf don't catch me c and my wife sleeping in your old harness- t room." And they left the hotel, f t ? { V&* Mr. P. T.

'Broth- t ers, I suppose?" remarked the gentleman, in- t terrogatively, still looking with wonder at the j; tied-ups. 'Yes, sir, brothers, natural broth- ^ ers, too,' said the showman. 'My dear,' said ( th? ciaitnr rfiliaimialv turning f/\ Kio "MV w "* V " w" vv uio uaugil- r ter, 'think of the goodness of Providence in ^ linking two natural brothers together, instead } of two strangers." S&~ Two friends who had not seen each other ^ for years, met the other day, on the outwardgoing Omaha express, in the smoking car. Each appeared somewhat confused. "Bless I my soul 1" said one; "what are you doing on 1 board this train ?" "Hush ! hush !" said his 1 friend ; "I know I can rely upon you. The a fact is, I had no wife of my own, and so I am i running away with another man's." "Thun- c der," replied the first speaker; "what an idiot you must be!

Whether we are to expect, as some teach, he millenial period or not, the Scriptures eem to warrant us in concluding that a beter state of things awaits the church. The hurch is not yet what God has promised to nake it The people of God are still required o live by faith. Some of the good things ?hich God, by his prophets, promised to do or his church, he has not yet done. He iromised that out of Bethlehem of Ephratah, hough small among the thousands of Judah, et out of it he would raise up one who hould rule his people, Israel. In other words, ie promised, in various ways, and by frequent epetitions, to send a Saviour into the world. ?his Saviour was minutely described, so that 10 one need be in doubt, with regard to him, rhen the proper time for his appearance arived. The set time came, and the Saviour aade his appearance. Every circumstance, a predicted by prophets, and sung by sacred lards, respecting the time of his birth and he manner of his life and death, correspondd exactly with the birth, life and death of resus Christ The Saviour of the world came, t is impossible to enumerate the blessings, ?oth temporal and spiritual, which Christ beto wed upon the world ; but greater blessings je in reservation for the church. That a ;ood time is approaching seems to be indicted by the providence of God. It is true hat wickedness abounds, but it is also true hat where sin abounds, grace much more ,bounds. God's people, generally, all over he world, in every nook and corner of Chrisendom, seem to be longing for that time when he sword shall .be beaten into a plowshare, md the spear into a pruning hook. Good aen and women are praying for it, and lookng for its arrival as the sick man looks for he first ray of morning light God is not vont to beget in his people vain and foolish lesires. He graciously promises to fulfill the ust desires of his people. KINDNESS. Every man, no matter what his occupation nay be, or the station in life he fills, whether ntelligent or ignorant, rich or poor, can acjoraplish something in life to advance the vorldly or spiritual progress of his neighbor, [t is better to see a dog shake his tail in your presence. than to srrowl. A kind word falls on i hardened, sinful heart like spring water on ;he thirsty stomach of the weary traveler. Some people go through life with a sorrowful ook, as if their only and best friend had just lied. This look, not like the moon or seasons vhich continually change, is to be seen all he time; rain or shine, frost or snow, that uneral-like aspect on the countenance can be een. Others, the moment they enter your >resence throw rays of sunshine all around mu; joy sparkles in their eyes, and the counenance gives evidence of a peace of mind nth God and man. No man is so foolish but te may give another good counsel sometimes; ind no man so wise but he may easily err if le take no other counsel than his own. He hat was taught only by himself had a fool or a teacher. Sir Walter Scott, the Scottish poet and writer of historical fiction, said he had never net a man of whom he did not acquire some ;ind of useful knowledge. There are some arsons who are so puffed up with their own >pinions that they consider the opinions of >thers not worth a snap when compared with heirs. Their little minds are like eggs? vhether sound or otherwise?so full of themelves, and encrusted with so hard a shell, hat nothing else can penetrate them. Such vould make first-class inquisitors and be ready f not to apply the torture, to persecute^hose vho mierht differ with them, even to the des ruction of their business, if possible, and deriving them of their daily bread. Fortulately, in these days of tolerance and general ntelligence, such men, sooner or later, lose heir influence and "find their level." In the ociety or even such persons, some remark vill occasionally be made whereby we may >rofit, if only to teach us how humble we hould be, and to pass lightly over the short:oming8 of many whom we constantly meet in >usiness or recreation. To err is human: to 'orgive divine. Charity covereth a multitude >f sins. Let us in the coming year endeavor o help the poor, give counsel to the weak, overlook the failures of our fellow mortals, ind the next year will find us happier and beter. A fellow journalist has well said: "The )erson who has traveled much on the cars :annot have failed to notice the man at every top, who, with can in baud, goes about oiling he axles. If he did not do it, in a little while he friction would be so great it would set 6re o the wheel, and ruin both car and engine. jo it is with human life. It needs oiling with he sweet balm of human love and sympathy it every station. The New Year is one of the jreat stations where all stop to dine, and while ve are dining let the oil can go round and ubricate the wheels of life, so they may run moother. Thus will the New Year be made lappier than the old, ana ine De increased in ralue." No Sabbath.?In a prize essay on the Sab>ath, written by a journeyman printer in Scotand, there occurs the followowing passage, iead it, then reflect for a while what a dreary md desolate page would this life present f the Sabbath were blotted out from our :ivilization : "Yoke-fellow! think how the abstraction of he Sabbath would hopelessly enslave the vorking classes with whom we are identified, rhink of labor thus going on in one monot>nous and eternal cycle, limbs straining, the >row forever on the rack, the fingers forever training, the brow forever sweating, the feet orever plodding, the brain forever throbbing, he shoulders forever drooping, the loins former aching, the restless mind forever ochening. Think of the beauty it would efface, he merry heartedness it would extinguish, of he giant strength it would tame, of the relourses of nature it would crush, of the sickiess it would breed, of the projects it would vreck, of the groans it would extort, of the ives it would immolate, of the cheerless graves * 1 J ?*?1?

It loes not save, but those who have saving feith lesire it and seek it There is something seiously wrong where it is disregarded. The Scriptures tell us that without it no man shall ee the Lord. The reason is obvious. We lannotgetto heaven without Christ, and thev hat are Christ's have crucified the flesh vith its affections and lust. The godly life >f Christians in olden times was a powerful irgumeut in favor of Christianity. It should >e so still. Those who are careless about | loliness are not only ungrateful to God, but! hey also disregard the welfare both of themelves and neighbors. It is of prime imporance to see that we have pure doctrine, but | ve must not forget that where this is sincere- j y believed it will result in pure living. tftiMmfr ?ejrattment. [Original.] BRADDOCE'S DEATH. The defeat of General Braddock, in 1755, by the French and Indians, is generally known. That he was shot in the back, and that he died a short time afterward, is generally known; but who shot him, and why he was shot, is not so well knoW&. General Braddock was shot by one of his own men? a provincial soldier by the name of Thomas Faucet. The circumstances may be briefly stated thus. Braddock saw that the French and Indians concealed themselves behind trees and rocks, thus protecting themselves from the balls of his men. Braddock thought this was cowardly, and positively forbid any of his men from getting behind a tree. A brotherof Thomas Faucet either forgetting, or despising as imprudent, the command of the General, got behind a tree. Braddock saw him, * * J 1_ and went to him, and witn nis swora struct him lifeless. Thomas Faucet determining to avenge the blood of his brother, leveled his gun and shot Braddock in the back. So soon as Braddock fell,the provincial soldiers, under the command of Washington, went to fighting in their own way, and what of Braddock's army remained was saved from utter destruction. [Original.] OMINOUS. It is not in the nature of things that we should find in a boy all the dignity and sobriety of a man; but somehow or other, a boy shows what sort of a man he will make. Benedict Arnold, the great Revolutionary traitor, was, when a boy, a cruel monster. Nothing so much delighted him as to be either torturing or killing something. Cows, hogs, horses, dogs and cats, were subjected by him, for no cause whatever, to excrutiating suffering. This cruel practice he kept up until he made his name to stink. No mortal has any respect for Benedict Arnold. What a lesson is here taught the youth of the world. A man who had talent to have been anything, made himself worse than nothing. The finer feelings of his nature were killed out by killing dumb brutes for fun. The kindness which /loiltr kaofAnro/1 nnAn kim rOffttpHpil tinf HOC uail J MbOlA/ IIVU UjA/U u?iu UVIV^mimvu MVVJ and never learned the art of doing good. Cruelty is an evidence of cowardice. There are many little incidents in history which show that brave men are very tender-hearted. Benedict Arnold was ambitious, but he could not be called brave. [Original.] DAVID FANNING. Facts are sometimes more interesting than fiction, and always more instructive. During the Revolutionary war, the Whigs were often engaged in daring adventures and made narrow escapes from being hanged. In Chatham county, North Carolina, there lived, during the war, a man by the name of David Fanning, or Fannen. He was born in Wake county, but moved, in 1778, when he was twenty-four years old, into Chatham. He was a loom-maker by trade, but a cruel villain at heart. So soon as the British took possession of Wilmington, Fanning concluded that he stood a far better chance to rise in the world by turning tory and plundering his neighbors, than by making looms. Col. Craig, who commanded the post at Wilmington, at once perceived that Fanning might be made very useful to his Majesty's cause. In order that : Fanning might. prnmntn^the interests nf the British, he was made a Colonel of the royal militia, and presented with a fine uniform. A generous hearted old tory by the name of T '-n 1m?v\ a fltiA Kama onrl Pnolrt Uiuusay, ga>VC umi a uiic nviou, uuu vi aig gave him ^pair of pistols and holsters. Thus fitted up, David Fanning showed himself to be a dangerous enemy to the cause of the Whigs. Atone time he dashed into Hillsborough and succeeded in capturing Thoma6 Burke, the Governor of North Carolina. Fanniug became the terror of the whole country, and frequent efforts were made to capture him. On one occasion, when he and his party were in the neighborhood of Drowning creek, a man by the name of Andrew Hunter determined to dash in upon the dreaded loyalist and free his countrymen from the many cruelties to which they were subjected by him and 'his party. Hunter was as reckless as Fanning. He was ready to undertake anything that had the appearance of being beneficial to the cause of the Whigs. The attempt to capture Fanning was made, but it failed. Fanning had more men than Hunter thought he had, and the result was that the Whig party was routed. They were forced to retreat ; not in order it would seem, but every man for himself. They were pursued with great spirit by the tories. It so turned out that Hunter was pursued by Fanning himself. Hunter was riding a fleet mare that he called the Red Doe. He thought that he was safe, believing that Red Doe could not be caught by any animal in the tory camp. He was mistaken; and to his disappointment, he and Red Doe fell into the hands of Fanning. Soon after the personal encounter in which Hunter was overcome, a number of Fanning's men rode up. They dismounted and sat down to rest and to give their horses time to rest also. The unfortunate Hunter knew that he must either escape or die. The tories were full of fun, and all at Hunter's expense. Fanning left his horse a short distance, and was sitting carelessly, feeling certain that Hunter was securely in his hand. Hunter watched his chance, and knowing that Fanning's horse was the swiftest one in the company, he sprang upon his back and put spur to him and dashed off for his life. Fanning's men quickly seized their guns ; but Fanning, thinking, no doubt, that Hunter could be again captured, and prizing his horse very b *?1-1? mfln ^oim li 1 /vk'' ^UA4 Illglliy, U1UCICU IUC UiCU IU U11U the horse might not be hit. Hunter was hit in the shoulder, but made good his escape with Fanning's horse and pistols. Hunter named the horse Red Buck. He kept him until after the war, and rode him, at one time, down to Charleston, where he met Fanning. It is said that Fanning demanded Red Buck, but that Hunter refused to give him up. Fanningthen challenged Hunter to fight him. The challenge was accepted, and it was agreed that they should meet the next morning on the green near the city and fight with swords on horseback. The next morning came, and the thing having been generally known, a large concourse of people assembled to seethe fight. Hunter, at the appointed time, appeared upon the field riding Red Buck ; but David Fanning had changed his mind during the night, and concluded that Andrew Hunter might keep Red Buck. After the war, some time, David Fanning left the country and went to Nova Scotia. Andrew Hunter lived in Darlington county, South Carolina, and was, at one time, chosen a member of the legislature from that county. David Fanning did not take Red Doe with him to Nova Scotia. Perhaps he lost her when he was wounded at Lindley's Mill, on Cane Creek. Be that as it may, Red Doe remained in North Carolina, and became the mother of a highly prized family. A.
