96 THE COUNTRYMAN. TURN WOLD, G A., DECEMBER 15, 1862. Christinas Pic. “An eminent preacher of the present day, had, when a boy, committed some of fence, for which his father had decreed, as a punishment, that lie should be excluded from the family table on Christmas day. When the young delinquent saw the vast culinary preparations made for the feast, from which he was debarred, he was mov-' ed. less with envy, than with a contempt, for the sort of punishment which had been imposed upon him : but mixing in his dis position a good deal of the satiric with the serious, he resolved not to be without bis joke on the occasion. He contrived to ob tain secret access to a veal pasty, on which the cook had exhausted all her skill, and carefully taking off the cover, so as to avoid any mark of fracture or disturbance, be took out the greater part of the meat, and, filling up the dish with grass, replaced the cover as it was. The company met, and the dish was served up to them in this state. It fell to the lot of the young wag’s father to break up the pie, and his surprise on doing so may be more easily conceived than describ ed. Stirring the grass about in a. fit of ri sing indignation, bis fork encountered a small slip of paper, on taking out which, he read on it these words : ‘All Jiesh is grass !' ” “No man can answer for his courage who has never been in danger.” “Pride will not owe, and self-love will not pay.” “It is very difficult to distinguish diffu sive general goodness from great address.” “Most women yield more through weak ness than passion : whence it happens that enterprising rather"than amiable men com monly succeed best with them.” “Since it is not in our power to love any more than to let it alone, a lover has no right to complain of his mistress’s in constancy, nor she of her lover’s levity.” Objectors to the Gospel. “ To reject the gospel because bad men peiveit it, and weak men deform it, and quarrel about it, and bigoted men look sour on others, and curse them, because they do not agree in every tittle among themselves, displays the same folly as if a person should cut down a tree bearing abudance of deli cious fiuit, and furnishing a refreshing shade, because caterpillars disfigured the leaves, and spiders made their webs among the branches.” lord Howe. “Admiral Earl Howe, when a youth, served on board the Burford, Capt.. Lusb- ington. This vessel made an unsuccessful attack on the town of La Gruita, in which the captain was killed.—The attempt, hav ing failed, a court-martial was held relative to the conduct of the Burford.—Young Howe was particularly called upon for his evidence. He gave it in a clear and col lected manner, till he came to relate the death of his captain. He could then pro ceed no farther, but burst into tears, and retired.” “ God is on the side of virtue ; for wbo- ^JEORGIA, Putnam County.—"Whereas the estate of Gabriel R.
