THE TROUBLE IN THE ARK.
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

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. But you
know we cannot have things our

Dr. January and Cancer!
THE celebrity of tho January Infirmary,
established in Murphreesboro, Tenn., in
1848, associated tho above name with the treat?
ment of Cancer until they became synony?
mous, both passed away witli the war. But
great discoveries, like truths, live forevor. Dr.
J. O. January, inheriting his father's talents,
and improving on his exporienco, hasachievod
a success in advanco of their former history,
owing to his increased patronage he has perma?
nently located in St. Louis ; the numerous let?
ters ho is receiving, and large arrival of pa?
tients, justify his move to this central point.
We would advise all afflicted with Cancer,
Scrofula, Fistula, Piles, Ac, to apply to him,
as ho possesses perfect control of those diseasos,
without pain or the knife. Address,
