jBasconi’s Eloquenee-
Extract of a letter from a lady of Balti
more, to a friend iu Washington, Pa., writ
ten on hearing the Rev.. Mr. Bascomb
preach at a camp meeting in August, 1824:
‘‘The horn blew, the noise ceased, the
gathering crowds dispersed and each one
sought a seat. An awful stillness reigned;
everything seemed to give magic and gran
deur to the scene. The winds of Heaven
were lulled ’and scarcely a breeze rufled the
trees. The very birds ceased their vocal
melody—expectation sat on every face—
when lo ! the wonder from the West arose
—-every eye brightened, and every ear was
attentive. Dignity marked his deportmeut
and intelligence flashed from his keen eye.
He appeared like the genius of the forest,
whose towering oaks overshadowed him,
come to hunt Infidelity from the earth and
extirpate D ism forever. Never, perhaps,
was there a more magnificent display of or
atory. On the missionship and regal do
minion of Christ, lie was sublimely grand
beyond description. His style and lan
guage was - energetic and vehement. He

Keep your Hens out of my Bar- ■
--- den.
Col. R. and Gen. M. were neighbors, and
had gardens adjoining each other. .
Cue pleasant morning about the time of
planting, Col. R. met his frieud, the Gener
al, in the streets, boiling with rage.
'“Confound your daru’d old hens, Colonel,
they’ve been in my garden, and scratched
the beds every which way; I shall have to
make them all over again; can’t you shut
them up this summer?”
“Keep cool, General, I prefer my hens
should have plenty of sun; air, exercise and
food, and I don’t'believe that your garden
seeds will hurt them at all—However, if
they trouble you much, shoot ’em.”
“I will, by thunder, Colonel,” said the
still more excited General. “I’ll do it,
blamed if I don’t,” and turning around on
his heel, marched away, mad as a wild-cat,
The next morning as the Colonel was
sipping his coftee, the family was startled
by the “bang” of fire arras, the cause of
which was soon ascertained. The Colonel-,
on going to the feuce, looked over and saw
Geu, M, in the heat of a bloody murder:
Six fine specimens of fowl were flouncing
about on the ground, unwilling just yet to
moves with the velocity of the whirlwinds ; [give up their gizzards to the gourmand.
Together on life’s journey,
We .will travel,till we stop,
And if we have no trouble;
We will reach the happy top;

never winued, a judgmeut 4 that never erred,
and an energy that never tired. He was
to go wherever misery was to be found, or
a man reclaimed. He was to consider this
learth as his birthright, the world as his
parish and the universe as his diocese ; he
was to freezo at the pole of the North, and

I am with you always. He preached until
he was exhausted and compelled to cease.
The words last uttered were responded to
by many, and vibrated on the ears of the
listening multitude, “Glory to God in the
Highest.”
Never could he havo been more gratified
than on that day. Hundreds and thous

Men behind the Times.—The public have
been amused of late with accounts of indi
viduals, (and the number is far too large,)
who for want of reading the papers have
fallen behind the times? One of them
made his appearance at Newark, New Jer
sey, in the afternoon of the day of the Pres-
idential election, and seeing considerable stir
meant.,;. Why, said they, this is election
day, and we are choosing a President. Y'ou
are?, why Tthought we had one already.
At vffhich everybody laughed; and old
Smbo joined in as heartily as any one,
with a yah! yah! yah!
A latter case, than this is worse yet. It
is that of a citizen “from the interior,” who
has lost his run of political ideas.
“Squire,” said lie, “what is this ‘free soil’
that they talk so much about? Is it equal
to the guaner.”—-Providence Herald.
Legal Wit.-—Counsellor Lamb, an old
man when Lord Erskine was at the height
of his reputatiou, was a man of timid man
ners and nervous temperament; and usually
prefaced his plea with an apology to that
effect. -On one occasion, when opposed to
Erskine, he happened to remark : that he
felt himself growing more and mdre " timid
as he grew older. “No wonder,” replied
the witty, but relentless barrister, “every
one knows that the oltler a lamb grows, the
mote sheepish he becomes.”

The editor of the Madison Banner, Indi
ana, attended Church one rainy Sunday, in
a ruial district of that State, where the pi
ous parson opened his prayer as follows:—
“We thank Thee, Lord, for the goodly num
ber here to-night, and that Thou also art in
here, notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather.”
An exchange says : “We have good au
thority for knowing that the daughter of
Enoch was five hundred and eighty years
old when she was married. If this ought
not to be the balm of drooping spirits, ofohl
maids, we do not know whatought.”

“Hello 1 I aay, what did you say youi
medicine would cure I” “Oh! it’ll cure /ev

Aha, General! so you are executing your
threat, are you?”
“To be sure, I told you I’d do it, and I’ll
be darned it I don’t shoot the rest, if you
don’t shut’em up. But take tlie thievish
critters, I don’t want’em; they are too high
ly seasoned with shot for my family.”
“Thank you, General; just wait a day or
two before you kill any more, until we eat
these up, and then I’ve no objection to hav
ing the rest shot.”
Now, Colonel R., was rather jealous of
his rights, and moreover, as fiery as Mars
in his disposition, and it was a great rayste
ry to the General how be could keep so cool
about this matter. The sequel' will show.
In two or three days after, three more
fat chickens were thrown into the Colonel’s
^garden and taken care of by the cook.
At last the General “smelt a rat.” Hjs
own chickens were missing, and the egg
basketdiung on the peg quite empty, to the
utter astonishment of his good wife, who
had never known a similar occurrence be
fore.
“Col. R.” said the General, as- they met
one day in the street, “have I killed all your
hens yet?”
“Killed all my hens General,” slowly re
peated Col. R.,’ v why, I have not oioned a
living hen these three years!"
The General sloped. He had shot and
given to Col., R. nine ofhis best layers.
There is a story of a couple of western
hunters, which is well worth telling. Their
names’were Hoffman and Cowan. Both
Hoffman
were excelled! shots and not a little given
to boasting of their skill. One day-they
went on a delr hunting expedition, aud af
ter getting into the woods where they ex
pected to find deer, they separated. Short
ly after Hoffman heard Cowan’s gun fired
off, when he immediately went over to the
spot where he heard the report, expecting
to help Cowan hang up a doer. Finding
Cowan busily engaged in loading his gun.
he shouted out—
‘Hallo, Cowan, what did you shoot at just
now?’
‘None of vour business; go along over the
hill.’
Surprised at this short and crusty reply,
Hoffman looked around and discovered a
calf among the bushes. Again he enquir
ed—
‘I say, Cowan, did you shoot at the calf?’
‘Yes, I did, but it is none of your busi
ness.’
‘Why what made you shoot at it?’
‘Why I took it for a deer.’
‘Weil, did you hit it?’
‘No, I missed it.’
‘How did you miss it?’
‘Why I was’nt sure that it was’nt a calf.’
‘You are a pretty specimen of a hunter.’
rejoined Hoffman, to shoot at a calf for a
deer, and. miss it at that.’
‘Don’t make a fool of yourself,’ replied
Cowan, ‘I shot at it just so as to hit if it was
a deer, §nd miss it if was a calf.’
Nothing out of Ireland of the “bull” spe
cies is a better specimen than this.
A Good Rule.—A man who is very rich
now was very poor when he was a boy.
When asked how he got his riches, he re
plied, “My father taught me never to play
till my work was finished, and never to
spend ray money until I had earned it. If
1 had but an houi’s work in a day, I must
do that the first thing, and in an hour. And
after this I was allowed to play; and I then
could play with much more pleasure than if
I had the thought of an unfinished task be
fore my mind. I fearly .formed the habit of
doing everything in time, and it soon be
came perfectly easy to do so. It is to this
I owe my prosperity.” Let every boy who
reads this go and do likewise. * ’
A resident of a western town, complain
ing that he could not sleep one night, sum
med up the causes: “A wailing babe of sev
enteen days—dog howling under the win
dow, cat fight in the alley, a colored sere
nade at the shanty over the way, a tooth
ache, and a pig trying the back door.”

Curious SItetch of Chief Justice
Ularshall.
1> JI Segretario," known to be Edward
William Johnson, Esq., formerly one of the
editors of the National Iutelligencor, is
writing a series of interesting sketches of
distinguished conversationalists for the
New York Times. In his third number he
has a very graphic description of some of
the peculiarities of Chief Justice Marshall.
From this we extract the following amu
sing notice of his personnel and dress:
As to the face and figure, nature had
beeu equally little at pains to stamp, with
any princely effigy of what pleases, the vir
gin gold of which she had composed his
head and heart. Except that his counte
nance was thoughtful aud beuiguant, it
had nothing about it that would have com
manded a second look. Separately, his
features were bufr indifferent; jointly they
were no more than commonplace. Then, as
to the stature, shape and carriage, there was
nothing in him that was not rather the op
posite of commanding or pie-possessing,
he was tall; yet his height was without the
lbok of either strength or lightness, and
gave neither dignity nor grace. His body
seemed as ill as bis mind well compacted;
ho not only was without proj ortion, but of
members singularly ill kuit, that dangled
from each other and looked half dislocated.
H ibitually, lie dressed very carelessly ; in
th* garb, but I should not dare to say in
the u 10 *! 1 -', of the jast century. You would
h av e thought he had on the old clothes of
a f 0 rmer generation, not made for him by
evensome superanuated tailor of that pe-
riod, but gotten from the wardrobe < f some
antiqued slop-shops, of second-handed
raiment. Shapeless as he was, he would
probably Wave defied all fitting, by whatev
er skill of the shears : judge theu,- how the
vestments of age when apparently, coats
and breeches were cut for nobody in partic
ular, and waistcoats were almost dressing-
gowns, sat upon him. To complete these
perfections of attire, it is necessary, though
I am ashamed, to add that the admirable
judge, whom above all men that I am to
draw, I would have you love and venerate ;
was one of those people to whom, in some
mysterious way, the gift of looking clean is
denied. Probably some ancestors of his
had injured a Naiad, and the vengeance of
the lymphatic powers still rests upon his
race; for I never yet knew one of them that
bore not upon his linen signs of that old
quarrel; Or the judge may have incurred
that part of the “Cuse of Kebama,” which
interdicted the sufferer from being touched
by the water, even when be was flung into
it. Hence, perhaps, the great jurist’s un-
washedfv appearance. Certainly, it might
well be said of him, as by Dryden of anoth
eK
In Israel’s Courts ne’er sat an nbethdfn ;
Of more discernining eyes or hands more
clean;
but pure as he kept the judicial ermine, it
was the only thing he ever wore unsoiled.

What Culture l>oe«.
Pretty Good.—-A frieud of ours being
lately on a tramp to Canada, informs us
that at a certain farm houso in the back
woods, where he had occasiou to stop, the
following rich sconce took place ,
The family were about to partake of
their breakfast, and sat down far that pur
pose. The old man being a lover of squir
rels, and that being the principal dish of
the morning repast, had his particular piece
laid on the side of the dish next to him.
Everything went right, and the old man
cemraenced saying grace, as follows:
“Oh lord we thank thee for the bless
ing thou bast set before us”—-Here raising
his eyes, he perceived his son Gideon lay
ing foul hands on his choice piece of squir
rel, and then in a hurried manner ended
the grace—“deliver us from evil for the
Lord’s sake, amen,—By G—d. Gid, that’s
my piece ; hand it here !”
Genius and Egotism..—Enthusiasts are
nearly always men of poetic temperament
and feeling, but often possess a-strong self
concentration of character, which blinds
them to all views except their own peculiar
opes, arid which betrays them into a narrow
mindeduess ns contemptible as the most
stubborn old Fogy. This quality of placing
self foremost or in the midst of every sub
ject, is the ruling of many men, who might
otherwise become truly great. The highest
and most comprehensive minds look at the
world and at life through glasses uncolored
and unclouded. Byron’s inability to keep
bis own individuality out of.his mental cre
ations, is in marked contrast with Shak-
spear’s mighty power of characterization,
and constitutes the chief obstacle in the way
of his poetic greatness.
A New Reading.—A Deacon, not re
markable far good eyesight once in giving
out a psalm, for the congregation to sing,
when he came to the lines:
‘The eastern sages shall come in,
* With messages of grace.’
pat the audience in a roar of laughter, by
calling out in a loud voice,
? The eastern stages shill crape in,
With sausages and grease.'
Miss; Tulip, in speaking of old bachelors,
says: “They are frozen out gardeuers In
the flower beds of love. As they are as
useless as weeds, they should be served in
the same manner—choked !” .

It is a well known fact, that one piece of
land yields, vastly , moire than another pierie
of equal natural fertility; and it is equally
well known, that one man abounds moro in
knowledge and usefulness, than another to
whom nature has been alike bountiful. It
iscuituie ; it is the industry and perseve
rance of man exerted in one case, and not
in the other, that produces the marked
contrast in both. The cultivator is sure to
be rewarded, in his harvests, for the care
and labor he bestows upon his soil; and
the reward is no less certain to him who
devotes his leisure hours to the culture of
his mind.
The soil* administers to our animal
wants. Knowledge not only greatly as
sists in supplying these wants, but is the
primary source of intellectual wealth, which*
dollars alone cannot give, and when united
with good habits, tends to refine, elevate,
and distinguish men above their fellows.
Talent is not beriditary. You will see, on
looking around, that most of the distinguish
ed men of our country, haye sprung from
humble and obscure parentage. They are
indebted for their present distinction to the
culture which they have themselves bestow
ed upon their minds. If you wish,.to be
prosperous in your business, to know apd
profit by the improvements of the age, cul
tivate the mind; far this is tho great labor
saving machine. If you would excel as a
mechanic, or merit the confidence and ee-
teein of your neighbors, seek early to qual
ity yourselves far the duties of social life,
by the culture of the mind. In fine, if you
would prosper in your bnsiness, and in so
ciety, cultivate the mind. But knwledge is
not always wisdom; and therefore, be «
scrupulous in regard to studies, as you are
in regard to the seed which you deposit in
the soil. You will reap whatever you sow :
and the iriind is as liable to bo cumbered
with weeds a* is the soil. Acquaint your
self with the inventions and improvement*
of modern aft, and study whatever tends to
instruct you in your business, and to fit yon
for the responsible duties oflife. 8. T. H.
