AN Important Dicision.—Rev. W. McMahon, a venerable Methodist minister, is writing reminiscences of bis early life. H¢
founded the first Methodist church in Huntsville, Alabama, The scene of the following
‘anecdote is somewhere in that section of
the State:
i bad preached this year to a hardened
congregation of wealthy siuners, where
there was no society; aud I suppose that
they thought themselves “free from the
déad,”’ so far as pay was concerned. When
1 was ab erie my jast sermon to them, I
remarked that I bad been preaching to them
for some time the best I could, and that if
I had not preached as well as others I had
preached as cheap a gospel as any other
man ever did; that, for all my labor among
them, I had not received as much as would
wrap my little finger with crocus. As I was
taking my leave of them, there was some
feeling manifested, when a large, fat old
man came up to the pulpit, blubbering and
wiping his eyes, be said:
“God bless you, sir; if we
don’t pay you, the Lord will.
“IT understand,”’ said I, “that the Lord is
very good for his own contract, but I never
heard that he was-bound to pay your
debts,”’
Buackstone vs. Crivoiine.—The most
notable occurrence in Placerville of late,
was a foot race by a lawyer and school
teacher. They are politicians, the one a
vivacious Democrat, and the other “DougJas.’’ She doesa’t hesitate in expressing
and defending the principles whieh the
Democratic party announced with the nomination of Breckinridge ; he carefully affirms that Douglas was right ;’’ she is rapid
and defiant; he is slow and cautious ; he
was never Kuown to get outofa melancholy walk; she canrun “like lightning.”
Theyjmet on Main street early in the moroing ; they taunted each other with ‘political proclivities;’’ he said Breckinridge
dida’t run much in the Presidential canvas;
she said Douglas didu’t run at all; “but
I'll tell you what,” said she “I can out ran
you!’ “No you can’t,” said he, feeling
@ little excited and quite fresh, aud perceiving that it was not time for the multitude
to be in the street. “Well, come on, let’s
try,” said she; “all right,’’ suid he, and the
postmaster, who was nigh, went to stand
at the mark at the out come, After a little fussing and commands of “aow, you
wait,’’ the racers started. Ob, sucha run
as that was! It was over very quick, and
the postmaster says she went like a cloud
harry-birds, and flew about forty yards
peer of her competitor.—[Mouatain Democrat,
poor critters

Wantkp Common Sense.--An Irishman
out West, conceiving that a little powder
throwa upon some green wood would facilitate its burning, directed a small stream
from @ keg upon the smoking pile ; but not
possessing a haud sufficiently quick to cat
it off at the desirable moment, was blown intoa million pieces. The coroner for the
occasion reasoned out this verdict, “It
can’t be called suicide, bekase he didn’t
mean to kill himself; it wasn’t visitation of
God, bekase he wasn’t strack by lightnin ;
he didn’t die for want of breath, for he
hado’t anything left to breathe with ; it’s
plain he didn’t Know what he was about ; so
I shall bring in, died for want of common
sense.
Fort Moyrox.—This Fort, which is intended to defend Norfolk, Virginia, is the
largest in the connie. The walls are more
than a mile ia circuit, very thick and high,
surrounded by a moat which is from fifty
to one hundred feet wide, with eight feet of
