An ExqoisiTE Ketort.—It is related of
Bunyan that, in the height of his usefulness
in and about London, the bishop of the me
tropolis had acuriosity to sec him. Thecoach-
man of the bishop was a frequent hearer of
Bunyan, and the bishop had told him that,
whenever in riding out of town, he should
chance to meet Mr. Bunyau, ho wished to see
and speak with him. One day, as John wafl
driving his lordship in a portion of the su
burbs, Bunyan was seen plodding his way on
foot, with his bundlo under his arm,, going out
to preach somewhere iu the outskirts.
“Your grace,’’ said John, “here comes Mr.
Bunyan.’’
“Ah!” said the bishop; “bold up the hor
ses when you overtake him, and let me speak
to him.’’
They were soon at bis sitiCt tbc horses were
checked, and the bishop bowed, saying:
‘‘Mr. Bunyan, I believe!’’ —
“Y’es, your grace,” said Bunyan^ourteous-
ly responding.
“Mr. Bunyan,” saidtho bishop, "I am told

the Scriptures, and I have a difficult passage

At a meeting of the members of tlie Maeon
Bar, held at the office of Wm. K. deGraffenreid,
Esq., on the 4th insL—upon motion of John
Rutherford, Esq., his Honor Henry G. Lamar
was called to the Chair, and T. G. Holt, Jr.,
requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman
announced the object of the meeting to be to
take some appropriate action concerning the
death of our professional brother, THOMAS P.
STUBBS, Esq.
Upon motion of E A. Nisbet, Esq., the
Chair appointed a committee of three, consist
ing of E A. Nisbet, C. B. Cole and W. K. de
Graffenreid, Esqs., to prepare suitable resolu
tions for the adoption of the meeting. The
committee, through their Chairman, submitted
the following preamble and resolutions:
Only a few days ago Mr. Stubbs was in our
midst pursuing the routine of a busy and high
ly icsponsible life, with his accustomed hopeful,
cheerful, and earnest industry. Some of u»
knew that be was sick—others knew that he
was indisposed, without being dangerously ill;
and all were this morning shocked, with the
appalling announcement that he died at three
o’clock. It is not enough to say that this event
is painful—it is sad—very sad—even inexpres
sibly sorrowful. This entire community, at
this moment, feels the shock as if stricken with
paralysis. Next to his weeping family, we liis
professional associates, feel it most sensibly;
for none knew him better, or respected him
more profoundly, or loved him more sincerely.
His amiable and strong character was under
stood by all classes. The jicopje trusted his
ability and integrity as a public man, and his
neighbors, especially the poor, mourn his loss;
because, be was kind, libera), just and charita
ble. Wliat ho was at home, in the bosom of
his family, it becomes us not to say, at least not
here and now. The licreavemcnt there, and the
desolation which it has caused, too awful even
for sympathetic comment, admonish to lie si
lent. As members of the Macon Bar it is not
less our privilege than our duty, to speak of
him. He was in truth oor brother, and it is
our pleasure, in the presence of his imburied
corpse, to declare that he fulfilled all the obli-

“Well, your grace.” repled Bunyan, “it
allowed, I believe, by all. that Timothy was
a bishop of the primitive church, and 1 anl,
as all agree, was a traveling preacher. It ap
pears to me this may have been designed in
future day*, to teach that in primitive times
the bishops were accustomed to wait upon the
traveling preachers; whereas, in our days,
the bishops ride in their coaches, and the trav
eling preachers, iiko Panl, arc minded to go

honest and industrious; courteous in liis inter

4 few days ago, a couple of Southern gen

played seven games of old sledge, for $5,000 a

Eloquence of Henry CJny.
Whoever beard Mr. Clay for the firrt time,
was almost certain to be delighted with him,
without exactly knowing why. There was a
charm about bis oratory that defied analysis,
and rendered sober criticism well nigh impossi
ble. You went away too well pleased, and too
full of admiration for the man to think of ask
ing how lie had managed for the last hour, to
put you in a rage at one moment, and make
you laugh and cry the next, at will. There
was something about him different from any
other speaker I ever heard. Webster was like
a steam engine for concentrated power, and
the rush and roar of liis assault upon the ene
my, n sort of human volcano, when the fires
were kindled in those cavernous eyes, and he
poured forth a torrent of burning words scorch
ing and scathing all before it. Calhoun wa3
the yery genius of abstract reasoning, calmly
and deliberately adding link after link to the
iron chain of his logic, till the hearer fell down,
at the end, bound baud and foot in the unyield
ing meshes of an irresistible necessity. But
Clay—when be mounted the rostrum a univers
al smile illuminated men’s faces, and they
looked at one another with an expression which
said plainer than words. “Glad to see you up,
Mr. Clay. Begone, dull care! We are going
to have a good time. This heavy work is over
at last. Business done—now comes pleasure.’’
“Clay,” said General Jackson, iu the writer’s
hearing, “is the most plausible speaker that
ever opened his mouth iu a public assembly.
If you listen to him, he will make you believe
anything he pleases.” This, from an enemy
was not meant for praise, but to the fact old
Hickory was perfectly competent to testify.
“Hush. Mr. Clay is going to address' the
jury.” I looked at those two gentlemen with
some interest, for a fellow being was on trial
before them for his life, accused of a most atro
cious murder. Heavy, substantial-looking ci
tizens they were—rather dull, I thought, and
about as likely to be moved by an appeal to
their feelings as the staiactitesiu the Mammoth
Cave. As Mr. Clay commenced, a friend whis
pered in my ear, “that villain ought to be bung,
but he's got a wife and child, anil his old moth
er is here in court, and that’s enough for Clay,
he’ll have the court blubbering iu less than
half an hour.” I doubted it but so it was.-—
Those great hulking fellows were sobbing and
mopping their faces over the sorrows of the
prisoner’s family as depicted by the speaker,
ns though they had just lost their dearest friend'
Even the court blew its nose vigorously, for
some reason, during the appeal in behalf of the
old woman, and although perfectly convinced
that I was “sold” in so doing, I could not re
sist tbeepidcmic, and sighed and sobbed in con
cert with the bench, bar, jury, and spectators.
It is needless to add that the prisoner was ac
quitted.
Several years age, while in the vicinity of
Ashland, I called upon Mr. Clay, He was ab
sent from home, attending a fair in the neigh
borhood. Being desirous of an interview, I
followed him to the fair grounds, and finding
him just about to address the multitude, took
a seat among them. Directly in front of me
sat two ladies, One of them appeared to be in
an ill-humor for some reason, and I overheard
the petulant remark, “I don’t want to bear
Clay. Wonder if nobody in Kentuck can’t

ocrat.” Mr. Clay proceeded, and having occa
sion to refer to the domestic articles on exhibi
tion, paid the ladies present some very high
compliments upon their skill and imlnatry. and
in allusion to their beauty and the good qualities
of his fair country women generally, said that
with regard to them, as well as other fine fab
rics, his preference was for domestic manufact
ures. instoaJ of foreign imports. The mingled
air of gallantry and drollery of the speaker,
in this part of bis address, the half jest and half
earnest of bis manuer, the wit, and anecdote,
and the pathos, as be alluded to his own advan
cing years, and increasing infirmities, were in
imitable and irresistible. I looked at the Dem
ocrat’s wife. It was plain that her efforts to
hate Clay had ended in a miserable failure,—
She had been laughing and crying like the rest
of us, and after the tumultuous applause which
followed the close of the address had subsided,
I was surprised to hear her say to her female
companion, “Jane it’s no use not liking him
because he’s a Whig.is it? I suppose John won’t
like it, hut I’me agoing to give him my blan
kets."—Evangelist.

Sir Joseph Banks once went a clamming, and

pounds.—M. Y. Tribune.

of taxable property of Houston county, shows
an increase in value over last year, of $1,782,578.
Whether this is an increase in the wealth of

the part of the Assessor, is not stated. The

Fmktful People.—“Men make themselves
uncomfortable, destroy the peace of their fami
lies, and actually make themselves hated by
fretfulness.” Beecher says—“It is not work
that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy.
You can tianlly put more on a man than he can
bear. Worry is rust iqion the blade. It is not
the revolution that destroys the machinery, but
the friction. Fear secretes acids, but love ami
trust are sweet juices.” Wc know a man with
a patient, good, Christian wife, and wc never
heard him apeak a kind, pleasant word to her,
and doubt if he ever did in the half century
they have lived together. He always in a
fret. Everything goes wrong. Y’ou would
think that he was made of cross-grained timlicr,
and had always been trying to digest a cross
cut saw. He is eternally cross, and thinks
tliat his wife and children, hired hands, and all
the domestic animals have entered into a com
bination to worry him to death. He is not only
rusty, but lairly*crusted over with it He is
encased in a shell of acid secretions, through
which no sweet juices ever distil. Friction has
literally worn him out, and he will soon worry
himself to death. Of course he has never
worked to any advantage to himself or anybody
else. With him everything always goes wrong.
He superstitiously Itclicves “it is because the
devil has a spite against him,” when in truth it
is nothing but his own fretfulncss.

designed to lead a pupil from the earliest rudiments
of musical knowledge to tlie possession of that ar

of the Hands and Fingers in playing, form r. new
and important feature of a work of tlie kiud, and
will be found one of the greatest aids to both teach
