President lias allowed thc tent oatt to become an A?t without his signs Tho President says if this wino a b pealing the test oath required of pe nppoiuted or elected to oflices of or honor, ii would moot my appi tho effect of tho law, however, is r< l; o;u taking a proscribed oath, all persons whom it was intondotl tq excluso from mich o Dicen, nrjil to requiro it (rom all others. 13y thia law, the Soldier who fought and bled for his country, is to ?weur to hie loyalty, while tho General, who Jed hosts to overthrow tho Govern? ment, is admitted without it. I cannot affix my numo to iv law which discrimi? nates ngaiust tho upholders of tho Go? vern mont.

TALMUDIC LEO ENDS.-Tin; COTATION ov W< BIAK.-A Prince once said to Rab? bi Gamaliel: "Your God is a thief. He surprised Adam in his sloop, and stole a rib from him." Tho Uubbi's (laughter overheard this speech, and whispered a word or two in her father's car, asking his permission to answer this singular opinion herself. He gave his consent. Tho girl stepped forward, ami, feign? ing terror and dismay, threw her arms aloft in supplication, and cried mit: "My liege, my liege! Justice! Re? venge!" "What )I;IH happened?" asked the Prince. "A wicked theft has taken place," she replied. "A robber has crept secretly into our house, carried away a silver goblet, and left a gold one in its stead." "What an upright thief!" exclaimed the Prince; "would that such robberies were of more frequent occurrence!" "Behold, then, Sire, tho kind of thief that our Creator was. Ho stole a rib from Adam and gave a beautiful wife instead." ..Well said!" avowed tho Prince.
