In the autumn of 1830 I attended a protrac? ted meeting in the interior of Georgia, and heard a sermon which I have never been able to forget or describe. I have attempted several times to write it. But it cannot be put on paper. The main flrce of it was iu the snuf? fing and spitting and. groaning and hound after-a-fox sort of yelp and whine, to which no pen can do just-ice. The preacher had just been licensed, and it was his first sermon. In person he was small, bullet-headed, of a fair, sandy complexion, and his countenance was indicative of sincerity and honesty. His remarks evinced great reverence for the works of God as manifested in zoology and natural history, and he "was taking up the Bible in regular order for the first time in his life." He bad gotten as far as the history of Noah, the ark, the flood, etc. Besides, "just before his conversion he had been reading Goldsmith's 'Animated Nater,' and the two together, by the aid and assistance of the spirit, had led him into a powerful frame of thinking :;s he stood at his work bench 'cay in and day oat.'" But whatever his sermom may have been, it was his own. The text was: "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall the Son of man be." After commenting upon that por? tion of Genesis descriptive of the flood, he "warmed up" suddenly, and broke out in the following strains; "Yes, my brethren, the heavens of the win? dows was opeaed-ah, and the floods of the g-r-e-a-t deep kivered the watera ah, and there was Shem, and there was Ham, and there was Japheth-ah, a-1-1 a guine into the ark-ah. "And there was the elephant-ah, that gp-r-e-a-i ^ahimal-ab, of which Goldsmith de? scribes in his 'Animated Nater-ah,' what is as big as a horse-ah, and his bones as big as a tree-ah, depending somewhat on the size of the tree-ah, ?-1-l a-guine into the ark-ah. And the heavens of the windows were opened-ah, and the floods of the g-r-e-a-t deep kivered the waters-ah, and there was Shem, and there was Ham, and there was Japheth-ah, a-1-1 a-guine into the ark-ah. "And there was the hippopotamns-ah, that g-r-e-a-t animal-ah, of which Goldsmith de? scribes in his 'Animated Nater/ what has a g-r-e-a-t horn a-stickiin' right straight up out of his forward-ah, six feet long, more or less-ah, depending somewhat on the length of it-ah, a-1-1 a-guine into the ark-ah. "And there was the giraffe-ab, my bretherin' that ill-contrived reptile of which Goldsmith describes in his 'Animated Nater-ah' whose fore legs is twenty-five feet long-ah, more or less-ah, depending somewhat on the length of em-ah, ana a neck so long he can eat hay off the top of a barn-ah, depending somewhat on the hit he of the barn-ah, a-1-1 a-guine into the ark-ah. And the heavens and window was opened-ah, and the floods of the great deep k'.vered the watera-ah; there was Shem, and there was Ham, and Japheth, a-1-1 aguine into the ark-ah. "And there was the zebra, my brethren-ab, the beautiful animal of which Goldsmith de? scribes in his 'Animated Nater-ah,' which has three hundred stripes a runnin' right round his body-ah, more or less, depending somewhat on the number of stripes-ah; and nary two stripes alike-ah, all a-guine into the ark-ah. "And there was the anaconder-ah, that great aarpint of which Goldsmith describes in his ?'Animated Nater-ah,' what can swallow six oxens at a meal-ah, provided his appetite didn't call for less-ah, all a-guine into the ark-ah. And the heavens of. the windows was opened ah, and the floods of the great deep kivered the waters-ah, and there was Shem, and there was Ham, and there was Japheth-ah, ail aguine Into the ark-ah. "And there was the lion, my brcthren-ah, - what is the king of beasts accordin' to scripter ah, and who, a3 St. Paul says-ah, prowls around .i>f a night like a roariu' devil-ah, a seekio' if he can't catch somebody-ah, all a guine iuto the ark-ah. "And there was the antelope, my brethren, 1lhat frisky little critter-ah, of which Goldsmith describes in his 'Animated Nater-ah,' what can jump seventy-five feet straight up-ah, and twice that distnnce down-ah, provided his legs will take him that fur-ah, all a guine into the ark-ah. And the heavens of the windows was opened-ah, aud the floods of the great deep kivered the waters-ah, and there was Shem, aud there was Ham, and there was Japheth-ah, all a guine into the ark-ah." ynst at this point he stoioped speaking a few moments, wiped his forehead, turned back his wristbands, ran his fingers through his hair, spit and rubbed his boot in it, drank a little water, commenced on a lower key, and pro? ceeded as follows: "But time would fail me my brethren to describe all the animals that went into the ark-ah. Your patience and my strength would give out before I got half through-ah. We talk my brethren of the faith of Abraham and the patience of Job-ah, but it strikes me thev didnrt go much ahead of old Noer-ah. It tuck a right smart chance o' both to gether up all that gopher wood and pitch and other truck for to build that craft-ah. I am a sort of car? penter myself, and have some idee of the job ah. But to hammer, and saw, and maul, and split away on that one thing a hundreu and twenty years-ah. and lookin' for his pay in another world-ah?I tell you my brethren if the Lord had sot a Job at tnatj it's my opinion he would a tuck his wife's advice inside of fifty years-ah. Besides, no doubt his righteous soul was vexed every day, hand runnin' with tho filthy communications of the blasphemous Bet that was always a loafcrin' and saunterin' around-ah, a pickin' up his tools and a mis placin' 'em, and a callin' him an old fool or somethin' worse-ah; and to cap the climax, he ^^^a preacher, and had that ongodly ginera I^rd*3lo^Jian{Js every Sunday-ah. But the ah; and wheWiff ld. him throu8h the job send Noer out to huS^,WM ready h* didn't ^^-scour and acram age all over the wide world for to. get up the critters and varmints that he wanted to save ah. They all come to his hand of their own j accord, and Nber only had to* head 'enof in and fix 'em, in their nlaces-ah. Then he gethered up his own. family, and the Lord shut him in, and the heavens of the windows was opened ah. "But my brethrin', Noer had use for patience after this-ah. Think what a time he must a had a feediu' and a waterin' and a cleauin' out after such a crowd-ah'. Some of 'em, accordin' so Goldsmith's 'Animated Nater-ah,' was car? nivorous, and wanted fresh meat-ah, and some were herbiverous, and wanted vegetable food ah; and some were wormivorous, and swal? lowed live things whole-ah; and he had to feed every one accordin' to its nater. Hence, we view, my brethren, as the nater of animals wasn't altered by going into the ark-ah, some of 'em would roar and howl, and bark and bray, and blate and squeel the whole endurin' night ah, a driven' sleep from his eyes and slumber from his eyelets-ah; and at the first streak o' daylight, the last hoof of 'em would set up a noise accordin to its nater-ah, and the bulls of Bashan weren't no whar-ah. I've often won? dered how the women stood it. Scripture is silent on this pint-ah; but I think I know of some that would a been vapory and nervous ander such circamstances-ah, and in an on guarded moment might a said somethin' be? sides their prayers-ah." Here the speaker stopped again, spit, took water, etc., and hastened to a conclusion. "My brethren," said he, "one more word for old Noer, and I will draw to a close-ah. After the outbeatin' time he had first and last, for so many hundred years-all, if he did by accident, or otherwise, take a little too much wine on one occasion-ah, I think less ort to been said about it-ah. Besides, I think he was entitled to one spree-ah, as he made the wine hisself, and accordin' to scripter it makes glad the heart of man-ah. "The world will never bo drowned again-ah. It will be sot a fire, aud burnt up, root and branch, with a fervent heat-ah. Oh! what will wretched, ondone sinners do on that orful day-ah. They wont feel fit for to live, nor fit for to die-ah I They will be put to their wit's end, and knock and straddle around in every direction-ah. For all at once, my brethrea-ah, they will behold the heavens a darkenin'-ah, the seas a roarin'-ah, the tombs a bustin'-ah the mountains a meltin'-ah ; and everything, I think, will be in a confused and onsettled state. May the good Lord add his blessings. Amen." The Cotton Tax. The matter of refunding the cotton tax will again be brought before the Congress now about to convene. It will come, too, with more directness, and demand for actiou, since the failure of the Supreme Court to decide upon the constitutionality of the law levying the tax, flings the responsibility back entirely upon the law-making power of the country. There can be no doubt but that justice to the South demands the refunding of this money, drawn from the pockets of our people by the paramount national power, under the inflation of passion resulting from the war, as the con? queror's levy of tribute. The fact that this tax was not continued, but was gradually re? moved, as the heat of feeling had time to cool, seems to establish the fact that no fundament? al basis, either in law or in justice, existed for its enforcement; and hence the equity of the return to our impoverished people of so much as was taken from their hard earnings whilst it was in operation. ! We call upon the delegation from South Carolina to put forth efforts in this direction, in which they may render a great and good service to the bone and sinew of their constit? uency, aud do much to exhibit their sense of justice and impartiality in the functions of their official position. At no time, probably, since the war, would the return of this money "have come more gratefully than it now would to supplement the narrow margins of profits and relieve the loss sustained by the depression a:ad panic bearing upon the fruits of the present crop. Like "drops of mercy" would it come, to relieve the pressing wants of many a noble hearted son of toil, with the devoted wife and children depen? dent on him, and do more to convince the Southern mind generally of a sense of jus? tice pervading the national councils than any other measure of which we can conceive. Every Southern Congressman should put his influence and ability to the tether to accom? plish this measure of justice to their common section; and with such a movement we feel confident success would crown the effort.? Sumier Watchman, The Local.Editor.?The Danbury News man tells the story of the local editor thus: Once upon a time a local editor dreamed that he was dead aud in another world. He ap? proached the gate of a city before him and knocked for admission, but no one answered his summons. The gate remained closed against him. Then he cried aloud for an en? trance, but the only response were scores of heads appearing above the wall on each side of the gate. At si^ht of him the owners of the heacfc sot up a dismal howl, and one of them cried: "Why didn't you notice the uig egg I gave you ?" At this horrid and most unexpec? ted interrogation, the poor local turned in the direction of the voice to learn its owner, when another voice shrieked : "Where is the piece you were going to write about my soda foun? tain ?" And close upon that was the awful demand: "Why did you write a piece ahout old Peddle's fence, and never say a word about my new gate?" Whatever answer he was going to frame to this appeal was cut abruptly off by the astonishing question : "What did you spell rny name wrong in the programme for ?" The miserable man turned to flee, when he was rooted to the spot by this demand: "Why did you put my marm.ge among the deaths?" He was on the point of saying the foreman did it, when a shrill voice madly cried : "What made you put in my runaway and spoil the sale.of ray horse?" And this was followed by the voice of a female hysteri? cally proclaiming: "This is the brute that botched my poetry and made :!?e'rediculous." Whereupon hundreds of voices screamed : "Where's my article? Give me back my ar? ticle." And in the midst of the horried din the poor wretch awoke, perspiring at every pore, and screaming for help. The next day he resigned, and we had to hunt up another local editor. Why Steam Boilers Burst.?Experiments upon steam boilers will commence at Pittsburg on the 18th inst., and continued until three boilers burst. Recent experiments at Sandy Hook convince the inspector-general of steam? boats that boilers burst oftcner from lack of water rather than by overpressure of steam. Red-hot boilers may be bursted at very low pressure. One of the boilers recently experi? mented upon successfully stood the test at a hydrostatic pressure of one hundred and eigh1 ty pounds and a steam pressure of one hundred ana fity pounds when properly filled with wa? ter, but when it contained only half the proper quantity it burst at a pressure of only sixty pounds. The commission are at present in? clined to believe that, with plenty of water in the boiler and a reasonable degree of attention on the part of the engineer, there is no danger of an explosion, but with an insufficient quan? tity of water explosions will occur in spite of all precautions. ? It is stated that the gains against the Administration in Virginia were largest in Counties where the colored vote was large, and smallest where the proportion of whites is largest. This seems to show that some of the negroes refused to follow the Administration leaders any longer, and that some of the whites indulged in a very culpable apathy, which, had it prevailed, would have handed the State over to Hughe1? and his party. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? A fourteen-year-old girl of Brooklyn has sued a boy sixteen years old for breach of promise, and wants damages. ? Blessed is the man that payeth the print? er, for his rest at night is not troubled, neither will he be forsaken in prosperity. ? Respect for old age never had a brighter illustration than iu tEe case of the young lady who always refuses to go to the wash-tub when her mother or grandmother is present. ? In a late severe gale a lady asked a neigh? bor if he was not afraid his house would blow away ? "Oh, no," was the reply, "the mort? gage on it is so heavy as to make that impossi? ble." ? The Washington papers are warmly com? mending Senator Sprague's habit of settling half a million on each of his children at its birth. So do we. The custom is a beautiful one, and no family should be without it. ? Johnny attends school, which will ex? plain the following short dialogue between him and his father: "Johnny, I didn't know you ?ot whipped the other day," said he. "You idu't? Well, if you'd been in my breeches you'd have known it." ? The Christian at Work answers a query as to the true posture for prayer, in this wise: "The only posture to be avoided is imposture. Let the heartbe in service as well as the lips, and a prayer on the back, or the head, or the feet, or the side is all the same." ? The latest dodge of a Boston till-tapper was to buy a half gallon of molasses at a gro? cery, get the grocer to pour it in his hat for want of a jug, and theu clap the hat on the grocer's head, while the buyer ran off with the coutenls of the mouey-drawer. ? A Dr. Dahm runs a stove and hardware store up at Eagle Harbor and the Marquette Journal says: "He must have an extensive trade, for we have heard his uarae mentioned in connection with all the stoves and stove? pipes we ever saw put together here or else? where." ? "Unless you give me aid," said a beggar to a benevolent lady, "I am afraid I shall have to resort to something which I greatly dislike to do." The lady handed him a dollar, and compassionately asked, "What is it, poor man, that I have saved you from?" "Work," was the mournful answer. ? Several wide-awake gardeners have re? corded an experience to the effect that by pre? paring the soil and sowing peas in autumn? but so late as to preclude the possibility of sprouting before the ground freezes?they secure a crop in Spring considerably earlier than by adopting the usual course. The plan seems worth tryiug. ? Sammy was reading the Bible very atten? tively, when his father came into the room and asked what he had found that was so interest? ing. The boy, looking up eagerly, exclaimed : "I have fouuu a place iu the Bible where they were all Methodists." "How so?" inquired the father. "Because," said he, "all the people said 'Amen.'" ? The wedding ring is put upon the fourth finger of the woman's left hand, because in the original formulary of marriage it was placed first on the top of the thumb, with the words, "In the name of the Father," then on the next finger, with "And of the Son," then on the middle finger, with "And of the Holy Ghost," and finually on the fourth, with the "Amen." An Amusing TiucK.--An amusing trick may be performed by coining sudoenly into the room where there is company, with a lighted candle, a couple of inches long, in a candle? stick. After looking around a moment with it, as if in search of something, the performer should take the candle out of the candle-stick, and with some numerous remark or gesture, proceed to eat it! The manner of preparing the candle is as follows : Take a good sized ap? ple, turnip, or, what is still better, a cold boiled potato, and cut it into the shape of a candle. Then take a piece of cinnamon bark, which may he sharpened at one end, and stuck into one end of the potato caodle to represent the wick?a large clove stuck in, with the blossom end down, will answer the same purpose, and will look more real. Arrange it so that you can light your "may-believe" candle just be? fore entering the room, and it will burn suffi? ciently long to answer every purpose.?School day Magazine. The New Pennsylvania Constitution. ?The Executive Committee of the Pennsyl? vania Constitutional Convention have-issued an address to the people of that State, and the proposed amendments have been published separately. They are in general very like the amendments proposed' in other States during the last few years. Special legislation is done away with as far as possible. The term of the Governor is hereafter made four years, without the privilege of re-election, and appointments are to be made by and with the advice aud consent of the Senate, who, in considering them, are to sit with open doors ; the vote is to be taken by yeas and nays and entered on the journal. The Governor is authorized to veto any one or more items of an appropriation bill while approving the rest. The judiciary is to remain elective, but the Supreme Court Judges are to be twenty-one years, and are not re eligible?for practical purposes a life-tenure. All patronage is taken away from the Courts. In Philadelphia, the office of alderman is abol? ished, and a number of elective magistrates (chosen by a qualified minority scheme) arc substituted. There is also a provision for mi? nority or "three-cornered" representation in the Board of County Commissioners. All con? tested election cases are to be tried by the Courts. The amendments provide for free rail? road and telegraph laws, and against any un? just railroad discrimination or "ficticious in? crease of stock or indebtedness)." The loaning of credit or holding of stock in corporations is forbidden to the State, as well as to cities, towns, boroughs, or counties. The New Chief Justice.?Mr. George H. Williams, who has been appointed Chief Jus? tice of the United States Supreme Court, was born in New York in 1823, aud was admitted to the bar in 1844. He immediately emigrated to Iowa, and in 1847 was elected Judge of the First Judicial District of that State. He was a Presidential elector in 1852, and in the fol? lowing year President Pierce appointed him Chief Justice of the Territory of Oregon. He was re-appointed by President Buchanan, but resigned. In 1864 Ire was elected United States Senator from Oregon, and during his term, which expired in 1871, he served upon some important committees. President Grant ap? pointed Mr. Williams to the office of Attorney General as successor to Mr. Amos T. Akerman, of Georgia. It will be seen that Judge Williams has held high official positions, but he is, never? theless, looked upon as a second or third rate man, whose honesty of purpose and occasional kindliness of conduct do not, by any meanB, qualify him for the highest judicial position in the country. As a lawyer, any member of the Supreme Court is his superior, according to common report; and it is difficult to believe that he will be able to maintain the reputation for dignity and ability which men like Taney and Cliase gave to the tribunal of which he is now the head. President Grant certainly did not make the appointment either for political reasons or because of conspicuous legal knowl? edge. Judge Williams is neither a Conkling nor an Evarts. He is a Surpriso, as Borie and Robeson and Richardson were. Nevertheless, we hope there is good stuff in him, and that the President knows him to possess qualities whose existence outside barbarians do not re? spect.-- Charleston News and Courier. TALK PLAIN. IT is as much of an impossibility for a Merchant to carry on his Business without MONEY, as it is for a Farmer or Mechanic to work without Tools. This is a plain fact, and we respectfully beg leave to urge our friends who are indebt? ed to us for Supplies and Goods of any description to bear this in mind, and to come forward prompt? ly and settle their Bills and Notes. Cotton is at a low price just now, and there is a probability of its goiDg lower ; therefore, you run a great risk in holding, while you may make money by selling now. It would be much more to our ad? vantage to pay the Planter 20 cts. for his Cotton, (provided we could be safe in so doing,) than to give him the present prices.
