Our friend D. it a capital fellow, fiee anded end hearted, but as full of devil Vy the world ia of rogues. Not long ego D. gotquite pious, joined the church end behaved himself like a candidate for the ministry, for six mortal months, what 'a more, during that time he enjoy ed religion as much as any man what he meant by enjoyment, it would be bard to guess, unless it was escorting the girls to church. By some means which it is not necessary to repeat, D. "fell from grace," and an awful fall it was, not that he does anything particu larly bad but he has lost all his rever ence. The other day meeting an old gentleman belonging to e sect which teacbes that a man can never fall from grace, D. began e rallgioua controversy, which ended in old deacon vowing that D. ntvtr had anr trace, a Drunosi tion that be maintained with provoking pertinacity. Now, the deacon ia a close, miserly old curmudgeon, with less prac tical Christianity in his wbold body than D, has in his little finger, eud our graceless friend happened to know it; so when the deacon continued to assert that D. was never possessed of real pie ty, the latter gotuettled and finally in sisted, wi'h soma warmth, that he was mistaken, adding with the solemnity of a Judge "Now, deacon, I'll (ell you how it was. Yon are a miserlj, saving old fallow I am not; and the amount of piety 1 spent in six months, wnh your economy, would have lasted a life time!" The deacon caved in. A Live Yankee and the Shop Girls of Paris. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Post writes: "Great art and eloquence are freqnent ly evinced by those petticoat clerka in the explanation of their wares I refer to the bonbons. The devices upon box covers, the inscriptions and illustrations aerve them with sufficient pretexts for the most seductive explanations and the most winning exhortations. But the true talent which they universally ap par to possess seems to dwell in the grace ana tact peculiar to all Parisian tradswomeu. They are solicitous but not presuming, urgent but not exacting, end always good nalured, perfectly self possessed, and never tired of humoring your indecision or reluctance.

A somewhat romantic suit at law has just been terminated in Franklin coun ty. It seems that one John Leacber be came pierced with the arrow of rupid, and, wishing to heal the wound by law ful wedlock, be made propoaals to the object of bis affections, which, it seems, she received favorably; but the father, Mr. Jacob Wyant, being a piudeot man, fcf much foresight, required the said John Lescher to enter into bonds of (300, conditioned that the said John Lescher should live with h is wife end tieat her as a kind and affectionate buabsud should do; bnt the parties, after living togeth er some months, separated, and this suit was brought to recover the amount of the bond. The case was first tried at the last April term of the Franklin court, when Judge Kimmel decided the bond to be invalid. The cese was car ried to the supreme coutt, end it tvss de cided that the bond "was good and val id, and in accordance with the law." The caie, therefore, ceme up again in the Fracxlin county courts, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff of S79 75. The rtsuld of tbia suit may five a valuable suggestion to anxious lathers Whose devehtera are a.mshi u p - partners at the alter, and an immitation of Mr. Wyent's forethought would show a prudent concern for their daughters' weiiare.

The unri veiled excellence of ibis enmbina tiuu of agents, (in the Clmry Pectoral; proved beyond cavil by repealed trial under their own observation, has compelled medical men to 1 reclaim abroad its tmeMlnrss.
