BY JULIAN A. SELBY. A Punctuation Pozzub.?The follow iug artiole forcibly illustrates Mm neces? sity of punctuation. It oan be read in two ways, making a very bud man or a very good man, tbe result depending on the manner iu whioh it is punctuated. It is well worthy the study of teachers and pnpils: He is au old aud experienced man in vice and wickedness he is never found in opposing the works of iniquity he tnkes delight in the downfall of tbe neighbors ho never rejoicoa iu tho posterity of auy of hia fellow-creatures be is always reudy to assist in destroying tho peace of so? ciety he takes no pleasure iu serving the Lord he is uncommonly diligent iu sow? ing discord among bis frieuds nud ac? quaintances he takes no pride iu labor? ing to promote tho cause of Christianity he has not been uegligeut iu endeavor? ing to stigmatize all public teachers be makes no exertions to subdue his evil nassiona he strives hard to build up Su tan's'kingdom he lends no aid to the support of the Gospel among tbe hea-| then he contributes largely to the evil adversary he pays no attention to good advice he gives great heed to the devil1 he will never go to heaveu be must go where be will receive tho just recom? pense of reward. The Virginia Legislature seems to be some ahead of that of this Statu in the society business. We had tho "Risiug Sons ol Benevolenoo," the "Young Sous of Honor," -&o., but Virginia "ban just incorporated "The Rising Soua of Lig numvifse." They must be a hot lot. Orphans' Home.
