"It U usvli'aa talking; I exteuiloJ this onti yuur, and I cm Jj sj hd lon ger," rcpliud Mr. Morton m ho ivuinio.l to his dusk and continued writing.

He lutJ just ruvovrrvd from u long illness, which swallowed up thu mean with which ho lini iteudud to tuako tho last pay incut on tho Iioumi. Tru, Mr. Merlon ha 1 waited one year, when he failed to meut the demand, owing to ill ness in his family, and ho felt voiy much obliged to him lor doing so. This year he had been laid up for seven months, during which timo ho could earn nothing, uud all his savings were needed for the support of his family. Again he failed, and now ho would be homcle, and have to beg'" li'" world anew. Had Heaven forsaken him, and given him over to the tender uieicies of the wicked I After he had left the oUiee, Mr. Mer ton could not drive away from his thoughts tho remark to which the poor man in his grief gave utterance, ''I wish you had to earn your money us I do mine." In tho uiiJnt f a row of figures, 'Put yourself in my placo" intrtyled. Once after it had eioc 1 his mind he laid down his pan, saying, "Well 1 think I should find it rather hard. 1 have a mind to drop in there this uficl- noon and see how it fares with his fam ily: that man has aroused my curios. it'y." About five ociocit ho put on a gray wig and some oh' cant-olf clothes, and walked to tho door. .Mrs. liisUop, a pale, wearv-looking woman, owned it The oor old man requested peruiu!io:t to enter and rest awhile, saying he was very tired with his long journey, for he had walked . many mils that day. Airs, llishop cordially invited In in in, and gave him the best seat tho room afforded ; she then begau to make prep- rations for U-a. The old gentleman watched her at tentivelr. He saw therft was n e!as" ticitv in her steps, no hope in her movements, and pity for h-r bean to steal in her heart. When her husband euteied, her feature relaxed into a smile, and hhe fore.nl a elieerfulnr-ss into her manner. Tne traveler noted it all, and was forcel to admire litis woman who could asaunid a cheerful ness she oiu uot Irel lr lit-r lint.l-anil s sake. After the table 1 prepared, there was nothing on it hut btead and butter and tea. Thev invited the stranger to eat with them, saying, "We have not much to oiler you, but a cup of tea will refeih vou after votir long ourney 1" lie accepted their hospitality, and. as they discussed the frugal uieiit, h-d them, without seeming to do so, to talk of their affairs. I bought this piece of land," mid Mr. Kishop, "at a very low pri.-e, rind ! instead of waiting, as I ought t ! n done, until I saved money enoui;ii t build, I thought I would lorrow a few hundred dollars. The iuterest on the money would not be near as much as the rent I was paying, and I would le savin" something by it. I did not think there would be any dilliciilty in paying la-k the moncv ; but the first year my wife ami one of soy children wee ill, and the expense left me with out means to pay the debt. Mr. Mer ton a Treed to wait, another year, if I would pay tho interest, which I did. This year I was for seven months un able to work at my tradn and earn any thing, and, of course, when i.ay-day comes round and that will bo very soon I shall be unable to meet the de mand." But," said the stranger, "will not Mr. Merton wait another year if you make known tho circumstances to him." No, sir,"fHaid Mr. liuhop, "I saw him this morning, and he said he must havo the money, and should be obliged to foreclose. "He must be very hard hearted," re marked the traveler. "Not necessarily so," replied Mr. Bishop. "The fact is, these rich men know nothing of the struggles of the poor. Thev are tni. pist like the rest of iiisnkiud, and i mil sure had they but the faintest iJea of whitt the poor have to pass through, their hearts and purses would open. It has passed into a proverb "When : a poor man needs assistance, he should apply to the poor." Tho reason is obvious. Only the poor know the cuisa of pov erty. They know bow heavily it falls, crushing the heart of man, and (to use my favorite expression) they can at once put themselves in the unfortunate one's place and appreciate his difficul ties, and an therefore always ready to render assistance, as far as they are able. If Mr. Merton had the lea?t idea what I and my family had to pass through, ! think he would be willing to wait several years for hi money rather than distress us." With what emotion the' stranger lis tened may bo imagined. A neV world was Deinij opened to iiiin. lie was passing through an experience that had never been his before. Shortly after the conclusion of tho meal he arose to take his leave, thanking Mr. and Mrs, Bishop for their kind hospitality, They invited him to stay all night, tell ing him be was welcome to what they had." He thanked them, and said, "I will tresspass on your kindness no longer. ALBANY, QIIEGON, I think I cun reaoli tho noxt villn hefmi dark, nml bo so much farther on in V journey."

"What could have induced vou," he asked, "to show us so much kiudesx." "J followed your suggestion," leplted Mr. Merton, "and put myself in your place. I expect that it will surprise you very much to leain that the strange traveller to whom you showed si much kindness yeaterday was myaelf." "Indeed:" exclaimed Mr. Bishop; "ean that be true t How did you guise yourself so well I" "I was not much disguised, after all; but you could not very readily associate Mr. Merton, the lawyer, with a poor wayfaring man - ha I ha ! ha !"' laughed Mr. Merton.

On the morniug of the JHb, just be foro the commencement of tho lighting, as General Jackson was surveying the line of battle, a wealthy Fietich mer chant of New Oi leans drove up to tho Una and requested an interview with the General. On reaching his presence Jackson demanded of thu Frenchman the object of his visit. "I come," said he, "to demand of you to return to tho city all of my cot ton which you have taken to make breastworks." "Ah," said Old Hickory, "can you oint out the particular bales that are your projierty !" "Out, Monsieur, certatnement, zat is my cotton, ' pointing to many balci ia the vicinity. Well," said Old Hickory, "if that is yonr property you havo como just in time to protoct and defend it, and calling to a corporal he ordered him to bring a spare musket, and, giving it to tho Frenchman, he told him to stand and defend his property. At the same timo he gave the corporal an order to shoot tho fellow if he attempted to run. I here is no doubt but that the French man was glad that his cotton was there to screen him from Biitish bullets. A SI.VFI L rOHTlBK. The following law and lawcase, Taken from the records of the Now Haven Colony in 1609, are strange reading in these times. The statute says: "Who soever shall inveigle or draw the affec tions of any inside or inaide-servant, either to himself or others, without first gaining the consent of her parents, shall pay to the plantation for the lirst od'onse, 40s ; tho second. 1 ; for the third he shall be imprisoned or'uorpore- ously punished." Under this law, at n court held in May, 1CG9, Jacobeth Miirline and barah Tuttle wore prose cuted for "setting down on a chostle together, his arm around her waiste, and her anno upon his . shoulder or about his neck, and continuing in this sinful posture about half an hour, in which tyme he kys.iud her uud she kyssod him, or they kys3ed one another, as yo witnesses testified. " The best and about the only way to got even with a treacherous mule and who ever saw any other is to take his shoe3 off, lead him on to 'smooth iceand then blackguard him. He dare not in dulge his natxiral propensity, aud the vexation of spirit exhibited in his in telligent cjuiitenunee is really interest i iug. FRIDAY, APRIL 11, ti.uuiiii.1: Titoi ovec S 11 1 11 1 HK. a irtT or The select eoniinilteeof Anglican iftel Ameriemi persons who have been foe many mouth engaged in revising, tiller ing nnd coirecling tho Bible so as to produce n book that will suit tho pecul iar ( .hrisliniiity of the Tiiueieciith cen tury, had ii stormy. snsf,ion recently in 1jndon, over a very simple text of scripture upon which neither tho Ang lican nor tho American "divines" could agree. Tint text iti ipicnlion is to bo found Itllilded to 'ill all tho gospels of the l'vnuuelists, oceurrino three timet in tho -XXVllh ehiiptcr of St. Matthew, uud alludes to tho denial of our Lord by St. Peter. "And iiiiiiiuilintcly tho 'cock crew." Tho Anglican "divines" desired to leave the text its they found it, but tho American parsons wei determined to substitute the word "rooster" to desij; Iiutitho mule thicken, ho us to have thu tet rend: "A;nl immediately t),a rvonFrr crew." But ns the Anglican parsons never saw thu word "rooster" in either John ston or Walker's Hictionaries of the Kn'ihh hingtiae, they juht scouted the idea of using such it Vaukeeism in the sacred volume, hence the convent ion camn near brenkin up in a serious ilia turbanee. At length some of ihe morn coiiKi-rvulivo parsons propoited that the matter Im laid belore the most promi nent citizens, preachers mid historians of America, so as to get their tiews ii;h on the correct rendering of the text, and circulars were sent to a large num ber of prominent men, many of wii'.m responded, but wo h ive room for only a few ssmples of the opinions given. Henry Ward Boccher thought that the text alluded t his troubles ith Tiltoit nil 1 Kiiiuhoth, and that it should read "And iiiiincilUuly Ti'.'wi crew.". But the committee haw ut n glance that h Mas heilisii in the matter, they thtew his advice tinder the table. 1 no next letter opened was from Bob lilgersoll, who said he ili.ln'l believe in scriptures, anyhow, but for the sake of making M-ai:o atnoii the parsons he would give them his opinion, which was that the text should 1h made to read "And immediately tiie American Katc screatooj." This suited tho truliiw Atlantic pur sons 'irst rate, but the Ari'itans b'.u!!" rl their brelhreli bv K-itiiii.lii.g them that "thu Hittmri.-uii lli,.-e- liidn't hexist in the htipo.l.diiT I lino.." henee he couldn't ai i illll oil "the lKv tsiou halltlded to. This put a ihiiopet nli Bob ItieeraoH'a text, and ti.ol was thrown under the ta' le. Tlie next document a ftntii GeiH-ta! (rant who said lie badiy tufi.fl that he ttii not ill ny lntiiioc to tom-ii nit i, ;.ta i-l KcripluK-, but as he v. us u lim-llian of the city of l.ieloii iie do sired to ticeoluuWJlale his cool.! : v lorn with his views tut tho nii'-i luiit tion He added that no t.r.bl the oiig- inrtl trniiN'.ators worn uil wrong in their application of litis test for lae t .- ii0ii that they did not have the eiilighlen. inrtit of lha nineteenth century to guide tlieni; that at thu time alluded to the Jens were having a jolly good timo, so j the text alluded to some kiu l of lui.v.'d drinks used by the Jerusalemiies in their carousal and, known ns "cock tails," and therefore who text should read "And imtncdiaUly tlia cock-tails f.ew. ' This puzzled some of the Anglican parsons, but Dean Stanley tdd them that he had just returned from Ameri ca where "cock-tails" were the fashion able beverage, uud that Gen. Grant was a good judge of "slings" although not un expert in scripture. "He is a man," said the Deau, "that although not elo quent of etch, yet he can drink in every lingo in the world, from Chinook to Chinese. So, out of respect for the llcan, Genera! Orant'a proposition was laid by f.ir future reference by tho com mittee. The next letter opened was from Su san B. Anthony, who said she could clearly remember tho occasion referred to by St. Matthew, as she was quite a young lady at tho time, and sho remem bered having a conversation with the Jewish historian Joseph us on this very text. Joseph us ns ill red her that thcie was no poultry whatever in Jerusalem until the year 201 of the Christian era, hence it must have been some horrible man who cackled on the occasion, or else a mere "ilotnish" invention. So sho favored the omission of all texts having reference to the subject, and advised the parsons' to inject something strong on women's rights in place of such ob solete and uuhistorical fables. This letter met with great uproar as the Alglican parsons would not listen to advice from such an antiquated f j malo, whilst the gallantry of the Amer ican preachers compelled them to up hold tlss character of tho oldest woman in the world, and one who had helped them in t heir pulpits in times long past. Finally, however, her letter was placed on file for future reference. Tho next letter was scarcely legible, but after it long delay it was deciphered ns being the production of Gray, tho Oregon historian, who declared himself a great admirer of the scriptures, hav ing helped to print them in tho Ne Perces language in 177C, a few years after he discovered the Jesuits and the Hudson Bay Company hiding in the woods of Oregon. His opinion was that the "rooster" alluded to in tho text was a Jesuit in disguise, who imitated the crawinir of a rooster so as to hide his presence . on the occasion, and ad vised the revisarv committee to make the text read "And immediately the Jesuit crow." This, he added, would greatly en banco the value of the book, as every Protestant would have that edition of the Eible which exposed the tricks of the Jesuits. And it the committee could impliate the horrible- Hudson Bay Company in any way with the de nial of Peter, he could guarantee the sale of at least a thousand copies in Or egon alone. Regarding . the antiquity 1870. of the word "rtsister," ho devoted (if-1 teen pages of u poststn-ipt regarding Ilooster Ilock, in tho Columbia Jtiver, which ho claimed was known to the descendants of Hum when they first visited Oregon after lesving the paren tal rocf, but that they weio driven ent of Oregon beeauiio they relii'Mid to tukts the JvHviU oitth, which the eonmitteo could find in his -history i,( Oregon, u coj'y of which he sent for their own personal inspection. This ephitlo took so long to decipher that the committee voted to adjourn jirn tent so ii to give themselves time to digest tho different propositions sent in, uud after a healthy collation of beef, bread and beer, tho Anglican-American Jlevisory Committee adjourned, com pletely befogged as to whut disposition they should make of the siniphi text "Aud imtiio'liatily the cock crew.
