Detrox Free Press. a Glass too Much.?The following stor went the rounds twenty-five or thirty year ago, and is old enough to be new. It illus trates the embarrassment which a glass toe much sometimes occasions the best of men There lived in Georgia, says Col. Bradbury whom Burtou credits with the narrative, ; Circuit Judge by the name of Brown, a mai of ability, of inflexible integrity, and belove< and respected by all the legal profession. Bu he had one fault. Ilis social qualities woul< lead him, despite his judgment, into occasiona excesses. In traveling the circuit it was hi habit, the night before opening court, to ge "comfortably corned." In a certain count; town, one day, a tough citizen #was arraignei on a charge of stealing. After the clerk rea< the indictment to him, he put the question : "Guilty or not guilty ?" "Guilty, but drunk,1' answered the pris oner. "What's that plea ?" exclaimed the Judge who was half dozing 011 the bench. "He pleads guilty, but says he was drunk,' replied the clerk. "What's the charge against the man ?" "lie is indicted for grand larceny," "What's the case V" "May it please your Honor," said the prose cuting attorney," "the man is regularly in dieted for stealing a large sum from the Co lumbus Hotel." "He is, hey ? and he pleads?" "lie pleads guilty, but drunk !" The Judge was now fully aroused. "Guilty, but drunk! That is a most ex traordinary plea. Young man, you are cer tain you were drunk ?" "Yes, sir," "Where did you get your liquor ?" "At Sterritt's." j "Mr. Prosecutor," said the Judge, "do m the favor to enter a nolle prosequi in tha man's case. That liquor of Sterritt's is meai t*' enough to make a man do anything dirty. Th Court got drunk on it the other night am stole all of Sterritt's spoons! Release thi prisoner, Mr. Sheriff; I adjourn the court." Brother Gardner on Minstrels.?" liev bin axed," began Brother Gardner of tin Lime Kiln Club, "what relashun de negr< m minstrel troupe b'ars to de cull'd race.

A Tobacco Story.?A comical story i told of two well-known Southern clergymen one of whom undertook to rebuke the othe for using the weed : "Brother G.," he exclaimed, without stop ping to ask questions, "is it possible that yoi chew tobacco V" "I must confess, I do," the other quietly re plied. "Then I would quit it, sir," the old gentle man energetically continued. "It is a ver; unclerical practice, and a very uncleanly one Tobacco ! Why, sir, even a hog won't chev it." "Father C., do you chew tobacco ?" re sponded the amused listener. "I ? No, sir !" he answered gruffly, wit! much indignation. "Then, pray, which is the most like thehog you or I V" The old doctor's fat sides shook with laugh ter as he said: "Well, I have been fair! caught this time." The Editor and the Committee.?On day the editor was visited by a committee o villagers to urge upon him some arguments ii favor of a new town pump. Being an amiabl man, although it was his busiest hour, he aske< them to be seated until he had finished an ar tide he was writing on an application of th principle of ensilage to green picket fences While waiting they all l:>egan to talk to eacl other at the very highest pitch of their voice until the distracted editor could stand it w longer, when, wheeling around in his chair, h remarked, with an expression sweetly uttered "You would oblige me, gentlemen, by con ducting your conversation in a lower tone ??-? omoll,rv\v in fb J. licit 3 <1 LLWlll blub nun mic oilihi-(aia m m next room, and you might disturb him."

Union or Secesh.?Many Northern wo men visited the border hospitals during thi war, bearing to the sick and wounded Unioi heroes pies, preservesandnumerous delicacies and to the Confederate heroes tracts on tlx evils of human slavery. They would ask < sufferer : "Are you Union or Secesh ?" Tlx sufferer who answered "Union" got the good ies ; the one who answered "Secesh" got onb a tract. One day a Confederate of foreigi birth happened to be placed on a Union bed and there he lay when one of these angels 1 earing piety and preserv es, began her hospit al rounds. When she came to him she asked as usual, "Are you Union or Secesh ?" "Yell,' replied the poor devil, "uf you gif me a dract I ish Secesh ; but uf you gif me shicken urn bie, I ish Union like hell !" He got tlx "shicken und bie." 4ggr* "Then you recognize,"said a judge "thi: handkerchief as the one which was stolen fron you?" "Yes, your Honor."

"The Word," we are told, "was made , flesh and dwelt among us." This is called the * incarnation. This is a great mystery. No ? finite mind can understand how two natures? s the one divine and the other human?can be 5 united in one person. Paul, in his first epistle f to Timothy, says: "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness." He then goes ^ on to specify in what the mystery consists. It is in the fact that God was manifested in the . flash iiwHHarl in Mia snirit. seen of ansrels. i preached unto the Gentiles, l>elieved on in the 1 world, received up into glory.'* The inearnai tion of the second person of the trinity is a s doctrine purely of revelation. From no other source can the fact be learned. The only thing e which the individual in search of truth on this i' subject has to do is to search the Scriptures, that he may learu what they teach. 1 Every one conversant with the New Testaj ment Scriptures, will admit that Jesus Christ j is spoken of as both the son of man and the . son of God. This means that he was possessed s of the nature of man and of the nature of God. e He was begotten, conceived and bom ; he was * a babe, a boy and a full grown man ; he was , hungry, and he was thirsty, he labofed and he { rested; he was weary and he was refreshed. . His experience was that which was common to i his associates. In fact, it never was denied * that Jesus of Nazarath was a man. He never ^ attempted to conceal his humanity, but at the b same time, he declared that he was the son of 5 God. The incarnation of the Saviour is taught - in the Old Testament Scriptures as plainly as r it is in the New Testament. It would be an * almost endless undertaking to attempt to col? lect all the passages in the Old Testament in t which the incarnation of the Saviour is taught, either directly or by legitimate inference. In Genesis 3 : 8 it is said : "Adam and Eve heard ? the voice of the Lord God, walking in the garden." The words, literally translated, would ) read thus: "And they heard the voice 01 je. hovah God going in the garden." The lan, guage was designed to impress upon our minds * the fact that the Supreme being presented | himself in a new and unexpected way. The t primitive notion which Adam had of God was 1 that lie was a pure spirit imperceptible by the ,1 senses. Now, however, he hears him going in s the garden, in a particular part of the garden, " and he and Eve hide themselves in another part. j From the general scope of the Old Testament Scriptures, confirmed by the teachings of the Xew Testament, we know that the Jeliovah God, who was heard going in the garden, was Jesus Christ. This being the case, we ' may assume that the first apjiearance that the 5 Saviour made to the human family, was God manifest in the flesh. It is not claimed that Adam and Eve understood this, or that they, at that time, expected h that God would send a deliverer who would . save them from their sin. In the first promise, h however, that was made to them, the incarnation of the Saviour was clearly revealed, and they seem to have understood it, at least, in part. In making an application of the prom_ ise, they erred. The first promise which was - made to the human family is contained in the curse which is pronounced upon the serpent. It is found in Genesis 3:14,15, which we translate literally : .And Jehovah God said to the e serpent because thou didst this, cursed art t thou from all the beasts and from all of the l living of the field ; upon thy belly thou shalt e go, and dust thou shalt eat all of the days of 1 thy lives, and enmity I shall put between thee e and between the woman, and between thy seed and between her seed ; he shall hit thee on the I head and thou shalt hit the heel. The pronoun e "lie," in the last clause, evidently refers to the 3 seed of the woman. Not all the seed of the t woman as the pronoun "it" incorrectly used . in the authorized version would indicate, but a f particular one of the seed. This particular - one of the seed of the woman was to oe a uei liverer, in that lie would hit the serpent's head. ^ This indicates dominion. 5 From other passages of Scripture, we learn I ' that the particular one of the seed of the wo man who was to hit the serpent's head was - understood by Adam and Eve, and by all of * their descendants for many generations, and * by the Jews from the time of Abraham down s to the present time, to be a divine person. In - Genesis 4:1 we find these words : "And Adam f knew Eve his wife ; and she conceived and t bare Cain, and said I have gotten a man from 3 the Lord." The above is from the authorized version, and is a very good translation except the last clause which is simply an interpreta' tion and not a translation. Eve did not say, ' "I have gotten a man from the Lord but she said, "I got a man Jehovah." She thought s that Cain was the seed of the woman who , would hit the head of the serpent. In other r words, she thought that Jehovah God had actually fulfilled the promise which he made ^ prior to driving the human family from the Garden of Eden, and that Cain, her first-born, was the incarnate Jehovah. She matle a great mistake, but still she shows by her mistake >- that it had been revealed that the deliverer of y her and her offspring would be Jehovah incar' nate, or God manifest in the flesh. It is a remarkable fact, that in all, or nearly i- all, those visible or audible manifestations of the Supreme being, it is not God that appears, ll but Jehovah. It was Jehovah that appeared to Cain after he had murdered his brother " Abel. In a lx)dily form Jehovah appeared to h Abraham in the plains of Mamre. It was Jey hovah that commanded Jacob to return to the land of his fathers. It was the Angel of Jehovah that appeared to Moses in the burning f bush, and it was Jehovah that ever afterward n continued to speak unto Moses. e in all the theophanies, or manifestations ot ^ the Supreme Being, the incarnation of the Sa" viour was foreshadowed. In all the predicj tions resecting the coming Saviour, contained li in the Old Testament, it is net intimated, but s plainly declared, that the promised deliverer is h Jehovah, and that Jehovah is God. This is clear, from the names which are given the ;* promised Saviour. It is also declared that the ^ Saviour will be born of a woman?of a virgin, e This was the universal belief among the Jews, s Every Jewish female cherished the hope that s she might be the mother of the Lord's anointr ed. This was especially true of those descend1 ed from Judah, from the fact that the promised Saviour was to be of the tribe of Judah, and of the house and lineage of David. It is needless to quote passages from the B New Testament to prove that Jesus of Naza1 reth was Jehovah incarnate, or that he was g God-man in two natures, but one person. In i; more than one thousand instances be is called 31 "the Christ and God." In an equal number -! of instances he is called "the God and Sa^! viour," and several hundred times he is said to j 1 be "the great God and Saviour." ' j That Jesus Christ was actually man, no one j -; so far as is known, has ever denied ; and that j , j he claimed to be God, and that his works i ' i showed him to be God is as clear as that he j | was man. It is not pretended that we can understand " | how Jehovah could be made flesh and dwell among us. All that is claimed is that the fact 5! is taught clearly and positively in the Bible. ; 1 Those who oppose the Christian religion ever : P begin their attacks at this i>oint. Could it be . ! proven that Jesus Christ was only man, or only j God, then it would be proven that he was not ' i the promised Messiah. This cannot be done.
