I hurried to Jones and got it safely into his bauds at 2 minutes before 3 : then I went out and danced an ecstatic hornpipe on the side-walk.

Km exchange Mjt, it always looks under the marriage head for the noose of the i vecJf, I BailrioJijty of the Bible., Tiie following article from the Louisville [OKI School) Presbyterian paper reflects viv- | idly the principles of a christian patriot: The christian who docs for his country' til that the Hible requires him to do will l?e j .he very highest style of patriot. Ilis reli ! jfion requires him to love all men, even in-j hiding his enemies, and to do good to all . men as he has opportunity, lie is coin- j nanded to love his country, hut he is not iXtrmilted to hate other Countries, and to i .1 J -? - CM uiHin oown mat lie may build Ills own i ip. lie should love his whole country.and j lot simply the particular portion of it in which !*?? resides. The patriotism of tho Bible is wholly opjosed to sectionalism or the feeling which .eeks to aggrandise one particular section ?>f| lie country at the expense of the other. It jvas remarked of nations that their interests, ever clash with each other, though there 1 nay, at time?, appear to bo a conflict. Tho 1 tame remark may be made touching of in- j erests or different sections of one great country like ours. There may, at times, >eem to be a conllict between the interests jf the North ar.d tho South, and the East rod the West, but it is really not so. It mo member of the body politic sufteta, all die members will, sooner or later, feel the 3fleet* of it. That interest of anv section which is promoted by the injury of another section is only a temporary one. Tho prosperity promoted in such way will eventually be seen to be not a lasting prosperity, just a* no man can be permanently prospered by the ruin of his neighbors. He may appear, for a season, to prosper, but. in the end, their injury will be reflected back upon himself. it is impossible, therefore, in the very na* i ture of the case, that christian patriotism [ can be sectional. It seeks to promote the interests of the whole country, because l?v so doing it best promotes the welfare of every part of it. It seeks no advantage for its section at tlie expense of others. Mason ami Dixon's line is not the boundary of its afl'ections. If it breathes in the bosom of a man A i. r ?i ? * - - huuui 01 inai tine u makes linn rejoice in the prosperity of those of his fellow-citizens whose lots are cast north of il as much as does the prosperity of his own section. If it is found in a Northern bottom il is equally us expansive. It embraces the South as well as the North in the arms of its love. The christian patriot ought to nsk himself the question " how would I regard the measure of policy whbll I now advocate were I in the place of my fellow citizens in another sec lion f What influence will my favorite measures or men have upon the whole country, and not simply upon the part of it in which I reside." lie should expand his inind and lake enlarged views of the subject. There is nothing nanow or contracted about Christianity. Those professors of it who have contracted views or feelings have them in spite of their religion, ami not in virtue of it. If the enlarged patriotism inculcated in the llible could only become thoroughly predominant once more in the hearU of Christian men at the North and South ; if they could ho brought to lav aside all reference to their particular sections, and would all look at the greatest good of the whole country, the strife which is now racing with sncL.violence would soon cease If the North would do to the South, and the South do to the North, just wlint they would each have th<f other do to thein. were their circumstance* reversed, all contention would cease, and peace and harmony would soon prevail again. This is precisely the kind of patriotism which the Bible inculcate*. Without this, no country a* large as ours iscan hold together and prosper. With it, it may flourish and grow stronger to the end of time. dDine, fteef qpd JeiDpelrwc. Tiikrk are hundreds, if not thousands of I persons, who profess to love temperance, ami hate fanaticism, who have embraced the si I - | |y idea that native wine and native beer will I Jo much to diminish the use of distilled I jpints, and promote society. Multitudes of I young men in this city, unblusliiugly enter lager l?eer saloons, and would have us Ire lieve they are in no danger of becoming sols. They brutalize and atultifv themselves with tlie filthy L)uteli swill, until they pats the dividing line between thn human and the beast, and don't know it. Some intelligent men have said, that the true way to promote temperance, i* to encourage the use of Fermented liquor*. To such we commend the remarks of the Noith British Itoview, a paper which has never favored the temperance reform. It saya : * It would not be much to say, that if all the drinking of fermented liquor could Ire done away, crimo of every kind would fall to a fourth of ita present amount, and the whole tone of moral feeling in the lower orders might be indefinitely raised. Not only doea this vice produce all kind* of wan ton mischief, but it also ha* a negative etfect I irf great importance.

Were it not f<?r this one cause, paujieiism would bo nearly extinguished in England. Wo are convinced that if a statesman who heartily wished to do the utnio*t possible good to hi* country, were thoughtfully to enquire which of the topics of the day deserved the most in'enac force of hi* attention?the suic reply which would be exacted by full deliberation would be, that he should study the means by which this worst of plagues can he stayed.

We once heard of a committee'* interfering with and turning out asclioohnastei, for committing enormities, in the way of illustrating hi* lessons. It appears that ho had enlisted the minds of the pupils in Natural j IMiilosophy, ami tried to get some apparatus, j but lie was told to do the teaching and leave : the nonsense, lint, nothing daunted, he got I some apparatus himself and told the boys : if tliey would hiing a mouse or two the next ! day, lie would show them the effects of nitrogen upon them. The next day came the committee, to reprovo him. because, forsooth, i the l?oys, in their eagerness to learn, had | been up al! night trying to catch iniee for their master, and disturbing the house ! lie promised to do better, but when ho came to Astronomy tie committed an atrocious crime, for being delicient of an Orrery, he took the biggest boy in the school, and placing him in the middle for the bun, told him to turn I round slow ou bis axis as the Sun did ; lie ! then placed a little fellow for Mercury ; next to him a girl for Venus ; then a representation of the Earth ; then a tiery little fellow for Mars, and so on, till he got all the planetary system arranged, and explained to each how fast lie was to turn on his heel as he went round his orbit. Then, giving the K11 f 11 !i 1. tin* Sinn /?Ammnn/vml mwwI . i... ?J- 1 , uwny went the whole teain of planets around him, each boy keeping in his proper distance from tho center, trotting with llio projier velocity in Tiis orbit and whirling around in due proportion as he performed his re Vol u tion. It must have been a raro sight, and a htssoti which the boys retained ; for do you think, iny dour Sir, that John, who presented Mercury, would ever forget that he had an easy time walking round the lubber in tha center; while Will, who represented llcrschell, must have been out of breath in I scampering around his orbit ? Hut the l?oys did not forget the lesson, neither did the master ; they danced, but he paid the piper! for, horrified, the committee ; dismissed him at once ; ho had been tench 1 ing, for aught they knew, the dance of the Turkish dervishes. B if0 1 &03?. In the pleasant little village of Had doiitield, N. J., some yours ago, there resided an old fellow who was familiarly known in the village and country round, as 44 Old Joe." lie had n<? par ticular occupation?nor any particular location, lie ate where lie could gel a lute, and slept wherever he could find a lodging place, lie was a harmless old fellow, and occasionally made a few shillings by cutting wood or working in the field. Joe was a regit lar old toper, and Jersey lightning had no more effect on his insiues than so j much water. Old Joe was never ! known to love anything but whiskey, | and he did love that. lie generally made his head-quarters nt the lower tavern. There were two taverns in the i village, at the time ot' which we write. 1 He would sleep and doze away the afternoon on an old bench in one corner ?f the bar-room, but was always awake when there was any drinking going on lie said he could never sleep when he ; heard the jingling of glasses and the gurgling sound of old rye and applejack. When he was not asked to drink ho would slip to the bar and drain the glasses of the few drops left in them. One afternoon, Dr. Bolus, the village physician, was in the tavern, mixing i iii) a preparation. Ho placed a turn bier bait' full of aqua forth on the bar, and turned round to mix u;>sonie other ingredient*. A few moments after he had occasion to use the poisonous drug, when ho found, to his dismay, that the tumbler bad been drained to the last drop. ' Mr. Wiggins.'* exclaimed tho Doctor, ii\ affright, to tho landlord, 44 what has become of that aqua forth I put on tho bar a few moments ago ?*' . . . " I don't know," replied tholftndl<43fc "unless old Joe slipped in and draujt In this suspicion they were both soot* confirmed, tor the hostler said ho hadi seen old Joe swallow the late draught. The Doctor, knowing that he inuat.ctii^ tainly die after such a dose, instituted a search at once. After some hour# spent in looking through tho burns, out** houses and woods, tor three or four miles around the village, lie was abandoned to his fate. It was a cold night, and as the village topers assembled around the blazing hickory fire in the bar-room, nothing was thought of or talked of but the unfortunate cud cd, poor Old Joe "With all his faults, the greatest of which was his drinking pro?-! penalties, Old Joe was quite a favorite* among the women and children, and some of the ohl topers hung their heads ominously, while a tear was seen* to trickle down their bloated checks. Some four days had elapsed, and no'* thin? having been heard Irotn Old Joe, they all came to the conclusion that ho' was a goner. The Doctor, about this, time, had occasion to visit a patient smiie eight miles distant; what was bis surprise, when about live miles from, the village, to see Old Joe in front of a farmers house, splitting wood. "Why, Jim," said the Doctor, riding up to the fence. ''I thought you was dead and buried before this." " Why, what made you think that, * Dt>ctor?" leaning on his axle-handla, " Did you drink that .dose I leit on old Wiggins' bar, a few days since?" " Yes," replied Joe, half ashamed to j own it. u Do you know what it was ?" asked the Doctor. " No !" returned Joo. " Wliy, it was aqua fortis?enough to kill a dozen men." "Well, now, Doctor, do you know that I thought there was something oncer about that darned stuft* for after I drank it, every time 1 blot red my no** I burnt a hole in, my pocktitrhandkcr* chief r _ John Haxdoliui and " Remorse."?

He inquired particularly if Mr. Randolph had not asked for hitn, stated that his business with him had been urgent, and that he had been especially directed to call upon him the day on which ho arrived, and expressed the deepest regret that he had come too late. On going away the stranger letl his card, .?n which was engraved, 4R. E, Morse, Culpeper country, Va.'
