"What a queer fellow the French man must have been, who for twenty year loved a lady and never missed passing his evenings at her house. "Hold on, Devil." In the early days of the State of Indiana, the cap ital was Corydon, and the annual ses sioa of the General Assembly usually brought together as wild a set of mad wags as could be found in tha State, who had to rely upon their own re sources for amusement, for there were then few theatres, concerts, or shows. Theso lovers of mischief had estab lished a mock Masonic Lodge, into which they would entice such as were a little green, and tako them through a variety of ridiculous ceremonies, to the ihrinita amusement of the crowd. On one of these occasions, it being understood that a good-natured, ath lotic young man, about half a simple ton; was to be initiated,' the room was crowded. Judge Grass (it being a character in which he was peculiarly happy) had consented to aet the role of the Devil, and, to make the services more impressive, had put on a false face and a large paper cap surrounded with horns, and with some chains in his hand placed himself behind a screen.. ... After taking the candidate through a variety of ceremonies, he . was brought to a stand before the screen, and told that he had then to confess all the crimes he had committed dur ing his whole life. The candidate confessed some trivial offences, and declared that ,he "could- recollect no more.' ;At this the Judge came out from his hiding place, groaned and shook his , chains. The ; frightened candidate , related some other small matters, and declared he had disclosed all the crimes he had ever committed.

"Who composed the following de scription of the Bible we may never know. , It wa found in Westminister Abbey, nameless and dateless: A nation would be truly happy if it weregpverueu ,iyno o.yiecUiiwa than those of this blessed book. It is so complete a system that noth ing can be added to it. It contains even'thim? needful to be known or done. It affords a copy for a kina'and a rule for a subject. It gives instruction to a Senate, au thority and direction to a magistrate. It cautions a witness, requires an impartial verdict of a iurv, and fur nishes the judge with his sentence. It sets the husband as lord of the househould, and wile as mistress of the table tells him how to rule, and her how to manage. It entails honor f o parents and en joins obedience to children. It prescribes and limits tho way of the sovereign, the rule of the ruler, and the authority of tho master commands the subjects to honor, and the servants to obey, and promises the blessing and protection of tho Al mighty to all that walk by its rales. It gives direction for weddings and burials. It promises food and raiment, and limits the use of both. It points out a faithful and eternal guardian to the departing husband and father tells him with whom to leave his fatherless children and whom his widow is to trust, and promises a father to the former, and a husband to the latter. It teaches a man how to set his house in order, and how to make his will; it appoint a dowry for his wife, and entails the right of the first born, and shows how the younger branches shall be left. . - It defends the rights of all, and re veals veagoance of every defaulter, over-reacher and oppressor. It is the first book, the best book, and the oldest book in the world. It contains the choicest matter gives the best instruction affords the greatest pleasures and satisfaction that were ever enjoyed. It contains the best laws, and most profound mysteries thatever were pen ned it bring the best of comforts to tha lnquirinff and disconsolate. It exhibits life and immortality from everlasting, and shows tho way to glory. it is a brief recital of all that is to come. It settles all matters in debate, re- solvos all doubts, eases the mind and conscience of all their scruples. It reveals tho only hvinc and true God, and shows the way to him, and sets aside all other gods, and describes the vanity or them, and all that trust in such; in short, it is a book of laws. to snow ngnt ana wrong; a book or wiedom, that condemns all folly and makes the foolish wise; a book of truth that detects all lies and confutes all errors; and a book of life, that shows the way from everlasting death. It is the most corapendous book in the world, the most authentic and the most entertaining history that ever was published. It contains tho most ancient an tiquities, strange events, wonderful oc currences, heroic deeds, unparalleled wars. . It describes the celestial, terrestial and infernal worlds, and the origin of the angelio myriads, human tribes, and devilish logions. It . will instruct the Accomplished mechanic and the most profund artist. It teaches the best rhetorician, and exercises, every . power of tha most skillful arithmetician, and puzzles tho wisest critic. ! ! It is the best covenant that ever was agreed on ; the best deed that was ever; sealed; tho beat evidence that ever was produced ; the best will that over was signed; to be ignorant of it is to bo destitute of wisdom. . It is the king's best copy, the magis trate's best rule, the housewife's best guide, the servant's best directory, and the young man s best companion; Lit is the schoolboy's spelling book, and the learned man s masterpiece.

Tha last business visit he made to that sec tion was about the timo the turnpike mania raged, and a single bar was stretched across nearly every public road, to pass beyond which required the payment of For every carriage, sleigh, or 6led drawn by one beast, ono and one-half cents per mile. r or every additional beast, ono and one-half cents. For every dozen calves, sheep or hogs, two cents. ; ior every dozen of horses, mules or cattlo, six cents. , "Old Sol" had passed something like two dozen of these bars on his way lrom Camden to Bridgeton, pay ing the legal exaction at each under protest and in very profane language. Not having disposed of a single mule, and drawing nigh tho end of a long journey, he was beginning 10 suffer his dismay saw the inevitable bar once' more before) him.

"Certainly," said the accommo dating keeper, who had it lockod in less timo than it takes to tell it. "Old Sol" started off again on a brisk can ter, which his mules soon imitated. and as they came to the gatobar went over it in one, two, and three order, to tho astonishment of tho keeper, who saw the point of tho joke in a few minutes after, and acknowledged him self" dead boat."
