Julius Poppe, Anderson J. A- Grigsby, Itidgway. , K. A/ScOtt, Newborry.' ' H. W. Lawson, Abbeville. The Conscience and Future Judgment. t oof oloris with my conscience, In a place- where time had ceased, And wo talked of our formor living In the land whore.the yoars increased, And I felt I should havo to answer Tho question it put to me, And to tb/jo the answer and question Throughout an eternity. The ghosts of forgotten actions Cama floating before my sight. And'things that I thought wero dead ' things Wero alive with a terrible might, And the vision of all my post life Was an awful thing to taco? Along with 'my obnscieuco sitting In (hat solemnly silent place. And I thought of a far-way warning. Of a Gorrovr that was to be mine, In a land that then was tho future. But how is the present time. And I thought of my formor thinking Of tho judgment day to be, But sitting alone with my conscience Bocmod judgment enough for me; And I wondered if there was a future To this land beyond tho grave; But no one gave me on answer. And no one came to save. Then I felt that tho future was present, And the present would never go do, Por it was but tho thought of my past life Grown into eternity. Thon I Woke from my timely dreaming, . And the vision passed away, And I know the far-away warning, Was a warning of yesterday? And I pray that 'I may not forget it In this land before tho grave, That I may not cry in the future. And no one come to save. And so I have learnt a lesson Which I ought' to have known before, And whioh, though I learnt it dreaming, I hope to forget no more; So I sit alone with my conscience. In tho place whoro tho years increase, And I try to remember the future In tho land where Time will cease, And I know of the future judgment, How dreadful soe'er it be, That to sit alone with my conscience Will be judgment enough for me. Kibhi??o the Book.?-Gentlemen of tho legal profession ore aware that there nave been, as there are now, many methods of administer? ing an oath. The old patriarchal mode in tho days of Abraham was by putting the band under the thigh?Genesis, 24, 2-9: "Abraham said unto bis servant put, t pray thee, thy band under my thigh, and I will make tboe swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and tfto God of earth." * * ' * "And the servant put bis band under the tbigb of Abra? ham, his master, and sware to him concerning this matter." In the Apocalypse, again, we find an angel with one foot on the sea and another on the land, "rais? ing his hand and swearing by Him Oiat licclh forever and ever.*' And kissing is an act of worship, and was so bold among the ancient beatben, who kissed their images ?1 Kings: 18, 19. It was rejected by some of the churches of Europe both before the reformation and after. In England it still obtains among members of the national church, and is enjoined in administering tho oath in low courts, whilst Quaker^ are entirely exempted from any form of oath. The Quakers' solemn asseveration is taken in an English low court, and be is not required to "kiss the book" The Puritans of England were, and are ' still, exempt from kissing'.tjbo book, holding that the raising of the baud is much more solemn, i I So the lav/ in Scotland, both in nivil and ecclesiastical courts, is to swear witb the ' unlifted band. Whilst in Eugland, Ireland and Scotland, the custom is to swear a Roman Catholic by making him kiss the Missal* and not the Bible, it seems, then, that a variety of modes are adopted by different countries and different churches. The conscience of the witness and Whatsoever form is presumed to be most binding is accorded to him. In the absence of any positive mandate of inspiration, ? churches and civil communities are left to their choico an between kissing the book and raising the hand. " An old Weptb^r-woru trapper! was recently seen eauntbring along tbo main street of one our "West? ern villages. Pausing in front of a little meeting house for a raomont, lie went in nnd took his sent among tho congregation. The preacher was discoursing on tho text of "the sheep and the wolves," und hud evi? dently been drawing a contrast be? tween the two subjects. Says be: "Wo who assemble here from/ week to week, and do our duty, and per? form our part, are the sheop; now who uro the wolves?" A pnusc, and our friend the trapper rose to bis feet: "Wn'al, stranger, rather tban see tbo play stopped, I will bo the wolves!' The preacher was van? quished. ? . . <>. ? An editor relates how ft colored barber niado a dead-bead of him. He offered lam the usual dime for shaving, when the fellow drew him? self up with considerable pompos? ity and said, "I understand that you is an editor." Well, what of it?" said wo. "Wo never charge editors nuftin." "But, my worthy fri?iid," wo continued,'"l?ero uro a good many editors traveling now-a-days, and such liberality on your part would prove a ruinous business." "O! never mind," re? plied tbo barber, "we make it up off tbo gcininen." After the Franco-Gorman war, the Grand Duko of Coburg-Gotha said to Bismarck that the decora? tion of tho Iron Cross had been distributed too freely. "Well," said the Prince, "It has been given, on one hand, to bravo fellows who earned it in battle, and, of course, justly given; on tho other hand, it has been given out of pure courtesy, as to Your Highness and to me, and wo had bettor not say too much about it." A conductor on tbo. Union Pa? cific Railroad put a "dead-boat" oil his train politely once, kicked him off three times, then finding tho impecunious in tbo car again, in? quired: "Wbero in blazes are you going, any how?" "Well," said the not-to-be-got-rid-of, "I'm going to Chicago, if my pants bold out, but if I'm going to bo kicked every live minutes, I don't believe I'll make tho trip!" The conductor lot bint ride a Uttle way. "Five cents faro for that child, madam," said a street car conduct? or, as bo opened the door and put bis hoad into the car. "Very well," she replied, feeling in hor pocket; "this is an orphan child and I'm its guardian. I must have ft roceipt for all moneys paid out, and as soon as you write me one, I'll drop a nickel in the box." He shut the door and? leaned oven the brake like a man in deep thought. There is a woman in Paris who goes about the streets watching for a man to tumble down with apoplexy. Then she rushes for? ward in groat distress und goes with him and the police to tho sta? tion, takes care of bini, &c, and steps out of sight beforo ho reco? vers bis senses, when it is general? ly found that bis watch and Porte? monnaie have disappeared. A Yankee editor tosses up the sponge with the remark, that "It don't pay to run a papor in a town where business men read almanacs, and pick their teeth with the tail of a herring." For a tippler to dream that lie has been barrelled up is a good sign. 9j? ESTABUJMtC, 1831. Nos. 3 Broad Street and 109 East Bay Street, ?
