Judge Woodward's Speech, Delivered at the great Union-Meeting held in Independence Square, Philadelphia, on the 13th of December, 1860. We have assembled, fellow-citizens, in pursuance of the proclamation of the Mayor, that we may counsel together to avert the danger which threatens our country." That danger is not recent or new. It has a history. And we must glance at that—we must obtain a clear view of'the actual state of the crisis, be fore we can give or receive intelligent counsel. It was announced a few years ago that the conflict which had sprung up in this country between free and slave labor was irrepressible; that a house divided against itself could not stand ; that all the States of this Union must become free or slave States. The meaning of this was, and is, that all were to become free States, for the soil and climate of a majority of the - States are such that it never can become the in terest of the superior race to maintain slavery in them. Everybody knows this, and therefore the alternative form of the proposition. was only to give it an appear ance of fairness and a little more material effect. The full seeps and meaning of the an nouncement are, then, that citizens of the United States are to be totally divested of the property they now hold in four or five millions of slaves, of the aggregate value of many hundred millions of dollars, and that the habits and domestic condition of the people—their commercial relations, and their political rights, in so far as those interests are connected with the institu tion of slavery, are to undergo a revolu tion. Nor was this prediction the voice I of an obscure and unhonored prophet, but of a citizen whom the people of the free States have just distinguished in a signal manner, by conferring on him the highest office they had to give. In so far as their votes aro to be considered as responsive to hie announcement, they are a loud amen— a solemn answer, so let it be. Whilst it is not to be doubted that mul titudes 'voted for the President elect with other views, and did not intend a distinct endorsement of his favorite proposition, yet, as the record is made up, the prophecy and the prophet stand approved by a ma jority of the people of the free States.— The inexorable exclusion of slave property from the common territories, which the Government holds in trust for the people of all the States, is a natural and direct step towards the grand result of extin guishing slave property, and was one of the record issues of the late election.— This policy must be considered as ap proved also. Not that every man who voted for the successful nominees meant to affirm that a trustee for several coequal parties has a right, in law or reason, to exclude the property of some and admit that of others of the parties for whom he holds ; but so is the record. And whilst it is not to be taken as expressing the universal sense of the voters, it does un doubtedly imply that vast masses of North ern people do heartily approve both of the proposition to make all the States free and of beginning by excluding slavery from the Territories. The South seems inclined so to accept the judgment. She holds the property that is to be shut out of the territories— that is to be restricted, cribbed and con fined more and more until it is finally ex tinguished. Everywhere in the South the people are- beginning to look out for the means of self-defence. Could it be ex pected that she would be indifferent to such events as have occurred ! that she would stand idle and see measures con certti-and carried forward for the anni hilation of her property in slaves? Several States propose to retire from the Confederacy, and that justly alarms us. We come together to consider what may be done to prevent it, and we are bound, in fidelity to ourselves and others, to take the measure of the whole magnitude of the danger. This irrepressible conflict has grown out of the Anglo-Saxon love of freedom. What this passion is, and how it was offended by the introduction of negro slaves, may be read in the chronicles of the American Provinces, and especially in the earnest, the eloquent, and repeated remonstrances addressed by the Colony of Virginia to the Crown and Parliament of Great Britain, against their introduction. 13ut if the Anglo-Saxon loves liberty above all other men, he is not indifferent to gain and thrift, and is remarkable for his capacity of adaptation, whereby be takes advantage of any circumstances in which he finds himself placed. And ac cordingly, by the time the Colonies were prepared to throw off the British yoke, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and Nature's God entitled them, it had been discovered that the unwelcome workers, against whose introduction such earnest protests had been made, could be turned to profitable account in the Southern States—that the African Constitution was well adapted to labor in latitudes which alone could pro duce some of the great staples of life— and that the North, which could not em ploy them profitably, would be benefitted by such employment as the South could afford. Considerations of humanity, also, as well as the rights of private property, entered into the discussions of that day. What was best for an superior race thrust unwillingly upon an inferior ? That both should be free, or that the inferior should serve the superior, and the superior be bound by the law of ? the relation to pro tect the inferior ? That was a great ques tion, and like all the questions of that day it was wisely settled. The Northern States abolished their slavery and so gratified their innate. love of freedom—but they did it gradually, and so did not.wound their love of gain. They sold out slavery to the South, and they received a full equivalent, not only in the price paid down,•, but in the manu facturing and commercial prosperity which grew up from the production of slave labor. When flit, Constitution came to be formed, some of the Northern States still held slaves, but several had abolished the institution, and it must have been appar ent that natural causes would force it ulti mately altogether upon the South. The love of liberty was as intense as ever, and as strong at the South as at the North, and the love of gain was common also to both sections. Here were two master passions to be adjusted under the circum stances of the greatest delicacy. They were adjusted in the pnly manner possible. Concession and compromise—considera tion for each other's feelingss and inter ests, sacrifices of prejudices, forbearance and moderation—these were the means by which the " more perfect anion was form ed." And what a work it was ! If the Union had never brought us a single blessing, the Constitution of the United States would still have been a magnificent monument to the unselfish pa triotism of its founders. Not an alliance merely, but a close and perfect union be tween people equally ambitious, equally devoted to freedom, equally bent on bet tering their condition, but separated by State lines, and jealous of State rights— one section seeks its prosperity under in stitutions which were to make every man a freeman—the other under institutions which tolerated negro slavery. Had the Constitution failed to work out the beni ficent results intended, there was an in stance of human effort to do good which would forever have challenged the admira tion of mankind. But it did not fail, thank God; it has made us a great and prosperous nation, and the admiration of the world for the motives of the founders is swallowed up in wonder at the success of their work. But all this the irrepressible conflict ignores. The passion for liberty has burn ed out all memories of the compromise and the compact in these Northern com munities, which, under the false name of Liberty Bills, obstruct the execution of the bargain. What part of the purposes of the founders are the under-ground rail roaclsintended to promote? Whence came these excessive sensibilities that cannot bear a few slaves in a remote Territory until the white people establish a Consti tution ? What does that editor or preacher know of the Union, and of the men who made it, who habitually reviles and mis represents the Southern people, and ex cites the ignorant and the thoughtless in our midst to hate and persecute them ? Be not deceived. Let me not prophecy smooth things, and cry peace, when there is no peace. Let the truth be spoken, be heard, be pondered, if we mean to save the Union. The conflict boasts that it is irrepressible. It allies itself with equal readiness to re ligion and infidelity. It enlists all our passions, good or bad. It makes common cause with the champions of freedom, the world over, and with the promoters of in surrection, discord and riot at home. How is it to be repressed ? Govern mental administration cannot subdue it. That has been tried for several successive periods, and the conflict has waxed hotter and hotter. Will the next Administration be more successful ? Hoping for the best it can do, what right have you or I to an ticipate that the honest man who has been elected will prove recreant to the maxims that made him President? Can trade and commerce subdue it? Lobk at the votes of Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. The manufacturers and merchants are the governing classes in these cities. They are intelligent and quick to discover their interests. They have weighed and meas ured the Southern trade, and then have voted against the Southern people. But what if they bad not—what if, like the city of New York, they had voted against the conflict only to be overruled by the country counties? Commercial cities cannot repress the conflict, if the people of the in terior lend it their sympathies. No, no, there is reason in the boast that the States shall all be free. There is good ground to apprehend the extinction of property in slaves. All New England has decreed it. The great States of New York and Ohio have repeated again and again the decree. Pennsylvania seems to have sanctioned it. The Northwestern States stand for the present committed to it. What hopo is left for the Union ? Is there a man in this assembly who dreams that this conflict can go on and the Union last? If there be, that man is beside himself; he has lost his wits. I will reason with no such man. Fellow-citizens, I profess no ability in this regard, but my mouth is open, and I will utter some of the thoughts that press I up from the heart to the lips. When, under the articles of confedera tion which carried us through our revolu tionary war, States had grown jealons, un fraternal, disobedient, and the General Government had proved itself too weak to I suppress conflicts that were arising, the people took the remedy into their own hands, called a convention, and formed a stronger government. The call of the ; convention, the election of deputies, the State Conventions which followed, all served to engage the public mind and to direct it to the common danger, and the 1 possible remedy. Thus the popular mind prepared itself to receive, with approba tion, the Constitution that was formed, and impending dangers were averted. History is said to be philosophy teaching by example. Let us be instructed by this example. As we were the first State to abolish slavery, let us be the first to move for the salvation of the Union. Under , the amendatory clause of the Constitution Congress is bound to oall a general con- vention on the application of the Legisla tures of two-thirds of the States. Our Legislature will assemble next month. Let us petition them to demand the Conven tion. Good examples, like bad ones, are contagious. Perhaps one and another' of the Northern and Southern States may do the like, until the requisite number have concurred, and then we will have a Nation al Convention to consider the evils and dangers of the day, and to devise remedies which, it may be hoped, shall prove as salutary as those of 1787. And now, as then, the progress of these measures will awaken inquiry and thoughtfulness in the masses—shall call off their minds from the petty politics of the day, and from the mischievous agitation of the slavery ques tion, to the grand problem of how we can render this glorious Union perpetual. In what form and to what extent the power of. the General Government ahculd be increased is not for me to indicate, but with the confessions of President Buchan an and Attorney-General Black before us, that the Government, as now constituted, "THAT COUNTRY IS TECH MOST PHOSPIROUS WWII LABOR COMMANDS TEM GRIMM RIWARD."--- -BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1863. is unable to prevent or punish secession, or to suppress the proud conflict that dis turbs our peace and boasts itself irrepres sible, have I not a right to assume that the Government needs to be strengthened ? Have I not a right to say that a Govern ment which was all sufficient for the country sixty years ago, when soil and climate and State sovereignty were trusted to regulate the spread of slavery, is insuffi cient to-day, when every upstart politician can stir the people to mutiny against the domestic institutions of our Southern neighbors—when the ribald jests of sedi tious editors, like Greely and Beecher, can sway Legislatures and popular votes against the handiwork of Washington or Madison—when the scurrilous libels of such a book as Helper's become a favorite campaign document, and are accepted by thousands as law and gospel both—when jealousy and hate have killed off all our fraternal feelings for those who wero born our brethren, and who have done us no harm The traditions of the elders lingered in the generations which immediately suc ceeded the adoption of the Constitution, and their passion for freedom just'as strong as ours, was chastened into loyalty to the Union and veneration for the rights of the States. The Constitution, which was strong enough to govern such men, is too weak to restrain us, who have outgrown the grave and moderate wisdom that ex cited no irrepressible conflicts between brethren, but taught them to dwell to gether in unity. I would make it strong enough to restrain the madness of our day. And let the people consider the motives for preserving the Union. They would be brought directly to these by the debates of the Convention, and by the antecedent and subsequent debates. I can suggest only some of them. First, our name, and place, and power, as one of the nations of the earth. Are not these worth preserving ? In eighty years we have matched the greatness that Rome and England were centuries in at taining. What may be done in the next eighty ? I heard a sagacious statesman say, about three years ago, that in twenty years from that time, if we kept together, we would drive England from all the markets of the world as a first-class trader. They were words of cheer, but there was the inevitable if. In what markets we should rival England or the pettiest king doms of the earth, after dissolution of the Union, that statesman and no other has ventured to predict. See what prosperity would come to us of the North in the process of the grand ri valry predicted by that statesman. Man ufactures and navigation have built up the greatness of England, and they would do the same for us as a nation, and for our section of the nation. Manufacturing has already made us great. In no one respect is the rise and progress of our country so remarkable as in its manufactures. The narrow-minded English statesman, who would not have us manufacture even a bob-nail, could he be carried through the factories of Philadelphia, Pittsburg or Lowell, would, to be consistent with him self, curse his God and hasten to die again. We shall never need to depend again on any foreign nation for a fabric that can be made of cotton, iron, or wood. Thus far, at least, we have come. And what cities and towns, and railroads and canals have we built up in our progress ! How much personal wealth and social hap piness have we imparted ! What additions to our population—what accretions in the value of our farms and minerals—what industry have we stimu lated and renovated—what commerce we have won ! Think of these things, fellow countrymen—con them over, 'one by one —dissect and analyze each—trace its con nections and consequences; and then, when you combine them all in one glowing picture of national prosperity, remember that cotton, the product of slave labor, has been one of the indispensable elements of all this prosperity. More—it must be an indispensable element of all our future prosperity. I say it must be. The world cannot and will not live without cotton.— There is not a matron in all the Union that can clothe her family or herself with out it. Nor can England do without our cotton. Her mills and ours would rot, and her operatives and ours would starve if the negroes did not raise cotton. ilan umit them, and they will never raise an other crop. They need the authority of a master and the eye of an overseer to com pel and direct them to perform the duties to the cotton plant, which must be render ed at the right season precisely, or the orop is lost. And thus it happens that the Provi dence of that Good Being, who has watch ed over us from the beginning, and saved us from external foes, has so ordered our internal relations as to make negro slavery an incalculable blessing to us and to the people of Great Britain. Do you not see and feel how good it was for us to hand over our slaves to our friends of the South —how good it was for us that they have employed them in raising a staple for our manufactures—how wise it was to so ad just the compromises of the Constitution that we could live in union with them and reap the signal advantages to which I have adverted? Wo consigned them to no heathen thrall, but to Christian men, pro fessing the same faith with us—speaking the same language—reading the golden rule in no one-sided and distorted shape, but as it is recorded, a rule to slaves as well as masters. This allusion to the golden rule reminds me of an objection which will be urged to much that I have advanced. It will be said that slavery is a sin against God, and, therefore, that all reasons drawn from our material interests, for favoring Or abetting it, must go for nothing. If it be a sin, I agree there is an end of my argument ; but what right has the Abolitionist to pro nounce it a sin? I say Abolitionist, be cause the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, in a sermon preached within a week, defined an Abolitionist to be one who holds that slavery is a sin. I accept the definition, and according to it many of your best Christian people must be accounted Abolitionists ; for it is as tonishing how extensively the religious mind of the North has admitted into itself that suspicion, not to say conviction, that slaveholding is a sin. If a sin, then it is a violation of some Divine law, for sin is the transgression of the law. Now, I deny that any such law has ever been revealed. The burden of showing it is on him who alleges it, and when it is shown, I agree it shall rule over all that has been said or can be said for a Union founded on slavery. I bind myself never to raise my voice again in behalf of such a Union. But, so far from any such law being found plainly written for our instruction, whoever will study the patriarchal and Levitical insti tutions, will see the principle of human bonsiage, and of property in man, divinely satidfioned, if not.divinely ordained ; and in ell the sayings of our Saviour, we hear no injunction for the suppression of a re lation which existed under His eyes, while He delivered many maxims and principles, which, like the golden rule, enter right into and regulate the relation. So do the writings of Paul abound with regulations of the relation, but not with injunctions for its suppression. If we go to the most accredited com mentaries, or consult divines really wise and good in our own midst, or, what is better, study and search the Scriptures for ourselves, we shall fail to find a law, which, fairly interpreted and applied, justi fies any man in asserting, in or out of the pulpit, that the negro slavery of the United States is sinful. What right, then, I ask again, has the Abolitionist to cheat tender consciences into hostility to an institution on which our Union is founded in part?— Good people say we do not wish qi disturb slavery where it exists by local law, but believing it to be sinful and inexpedient, we will not submit to its extension, nor assist, to restore the fugitive to hih master. Such people soon come to conceive that the more unfriendly they can feel towards slavery, the more harsh speeches they make about slaveholders, the more they help on the irrepressible conflict, the bet ter will they recommend themselves to God. - In some churches anti-slavery sen timents have become essential to good standing. According to some ecclesiasti cal councils the great duty of the Amer ican Christian is to war with his neighbor's property • and, if opportunity presents, to help steal and hide it. Alas ! alas ! for the times upon which we have fallen. We must arouse ourselves and assert the rights of the slaveholder, and add such guarantees to our Constitution as will pro tect his property from the spoilation of religious bigotry and persecution, or else we must give up our Consiitution and Union. Events are placing the alterna tive plainly before us—Constitutional Union and liberty, according to American law, or else extinction of slave property, negro freedom, dissolution of the Union, and anarchy and confusion. Can any man, even though his mind has been poisoned by the sophisms of infidels and abolitionists, seriously contemplate the alternative with composure and indiff ence ? We hear it said, let South Carolina go out of the Union peaceably. I say let her go peaceably, if she go at all ; but why should South Carolina be driven out of the Union by an irrepressible conflict about slavery ? Other States will be sure to follow sooner or later. The work of dis integration, once fairly established, will not end with South Carolina, nor even with all the slave States. Already we see it announced on the floor of Congress, that the city of New York, tired of her connec tions with Puritan New Englsnd, and with the fanatical interior of her own State, will improve the opportunity to set up for herself, and throw open her magnificent port to the unrestricted commerce of the world, Let us be wise in time. Our resolutions are soothing and encouraging in their tone, and this vast assemblage is symptomatic of returning health in the public mind ; but popular meetings are not going to save the Union from destruction. The people must act, and act promptly and efficiently. Let them show the South that the heart of the great State of Pennsylvania is sound still. It is said that the late. elections do not commit Pennsylvabia unalterably to the mischievous conflict. lam willing to believe it. I hope it is so. I hope the events of the winter and our future elec tions will prove it. Then let Pennsylvania appeal to the South to stand by us a little longer, till we have proved not by fair words, but by deeds, that we will arrest the irrepressible conflict—we will not give up constitntional liberty for licentious liberty; we will not sacrifice all the memories of the past, and all the hopes of the future for negro free dom ; for though we tear down this fair fabric, we make no negro free—but for a vain and mad attempt at negro freedom. That is the poor, the abortive, the absurd, the wicked purposes for which we are ex pected to sacrifice our inheritance. God forbid it! Here on this consecrated spot of earth, where the foundations were laid of the best government the world ever saw, let us renew our vows to the Union, and and send salutations to our brethren : " Talk not of secession—go not rashly out of the Union—dim no star of our glo rious flag—give us time to place ourselves right in respect to your peculiar institu tions, and to roll back the cloud that now obscures, for the moment, cur devotion to the Union as it is." Speak thus to the Southern States, and follow our words by fitting deeds, and Pennsylvania can stop secession, or cure it if it occurs. We can win back any States that may stray off, if only we can prove our loyalty to the Con stitution and Union as our fathers formed them. And would it not be a proud page in the history of Pennsylvania that should record the rescue of the American Union from im pending ruin, by prompt, generous, united action of the people of Pennsylvania? That great glory may be Ours. Let us grasp it ere it is too late. THE SOURCE OF THENILE.—The great geographical secret which has puzzled man kind for years has been solved. Julius ecesar declared that he would abandon his career of conquest in a moment if he thought be could discover the fountain of the Nile. Bayard Taylor wrote a fews years ago Since Columbus first looked upon San Salvador, the earth has but one emotion of triumph left in her bestowal, and that she reserved for him who shall drink from the fountain of the White Nile.' This brave drinker has been found. It is Captain Spake, an Englishman, who re ally discovered the Lake Victoria Nyanza on the 3d of. August, 1858, but his claim that this was the true source of the Nile having been discredited, he has just re turned from a second trip which confirms the claim beyond a doubt. 'The lake lies between the equator and four dogrese south and between longitude 31deg. and 32deg. This is nearly the locality which the gene- rat conjecture of scientific men had fixed upon. Tne river had formely been traoed, by ex peditions sent out by the Psoha of Egypt, to within five degrees of the equator--and there the exploration stopped. The length of the Nile as now ascertained, is some thing over 3000 miles. It is peculiar among large rivers in having no affluent within 1400 miles from its month, and in having a periodical inundation of &eat reg ularity and fertilizing value.' The latter begins in June and ends in September, and is owing to the periodical rains in the region around the river's source. In the days of Heroditns 16 cubits was oonsideed a rise necessary to a fair overflow. Now 22 oubits is the average, which indicates the elevation of the valley by reason of the successive deposits. We do not know that the discovery of the source of the Nile is of much practical consequences, but it is well to have all these questions settled. All for the Best. Rabbi Akibo, compelled by violent per secution to quit his native land, wander ed over barren wastes and dreary deserts. His whole equipage consisted of a lamp, which he used to light at night in order to study the law ; a cook which served him instead of a watch, to announce to him the rising dawn ; and an ass on which he rode. The sun was gradually sinking beneath the horizon, night was fast approaching, and the poor wanderer knew not where to shelter his head, or where to rest his weary limbs. Fatigued, and almost ex hausted, he came at last near to a village. He was glad to find it inhabited, thinking where human beings dwelt there dwelt also humanity and compassion ; but he was mistaken. He asked for a night's lodging; it was refused. Not one of the in hospitable inhabitants would accommodate him ; he was therefore obliged to seek shel ter in a neighboring wood. It is hard, very hard,' said he not to find a hospitable roof to protect me against the inclemency of the weather ; but God is just, and whatever he • does is for the best.' He seated himself beneath a tree lighted his lamp, and began to read the law. He had scarcely read a chapter when a vio lent storm extinguished his light. What !' exclaimed he, must I not be permitted even to pursue my favorite study 1 But God is just, and whatever He does is for the best.' He stretched himself on the bare earth, willing, if possible, to have a few hours sleep. He had haraly closed his eyes, when a fierce wolf came and killed the cock. What a misfortune is this? ejaculated the astonished Akibo. My companion is gone ! Who then will henceforth awaken me to the study of the law But God is just ; He knows best what is good for us poor mortals.' Scarcely had he flushed the sentence when a terrible lion came and devoured the ass. What is to be done now V exclaimed the Jowly wanderer. My lamp and my cock gone ; my poor ass too is gone—all is gone! But, praised be the Lord, what ever He does is for the best.' He passed a sleepless night, and early in the morning went to the village to see whether he could procure a. horse or any beast of burden to enable him to pursue his journey,; but what was his surprise not to find a single person alive. It appears that a band of.robbers had en tered the village during the night murder ed its inhabitants, and plundered their houses. As soon as Akibo had sufficiently recovered from the amazement into which this wonderful occurrence had thrown him, he lifted up his voice and exclaimed : Thou Great God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, now I know by experi ence that poor mortal men are short sighted and blind, often considering as evils what is intended for their preserva tion. But thou alone art just, and kind, and merciful. Had not the hard-hearted people driven me, by their inhospitality, from the village, I should assuredly have shared their fate. Had not the wind have exhausted my lamp, the 'robbers would have been drawn to the spot, and murder ed me. I perceive, also, that it was Thy mercy which deprived me of my compan ions, that they might not, by their noise, give notice to the banditti, and tell them where I was taking my rest. Praised be Thy name forever and ever. THE THREE ANSWERS.—King Freder ick, of Prussia; had a great mania for en listing gigantic soldiers into the royal guards, and paid an enormous bounty to his recruiting officers for getting them.— One day, the recruiting sergeant chanced to espy a Hibernian, who was at least seven feet high. He accosted him in Eng lish, and proposed that he should enlist. The idea ormilitary life and a large boun ty so delighted Patrick that he immediate ly consented. 6 But unless you can speak German, the king will not give you so much.' Shure it's that—l don't know a word of German.' c But,' said the sergeant, c three words will be sufficient, and these you can learn in a short time. The king knows every man in the guards. As soon as he sees you, he will ride up and ask you how old you are ? Yon will say ' twenty seven.' Next, how long you have been in the' ser vice. You must reply c three weeks. Fi nally, if you are provided with clothes and rations. You will answer c both.' Patrick soon learned to pronounce his answers, bat nover dreamed of learning the questions. In three weeks he appeared before the king in review. His majesty rode up to him. Patrick stepped forward and presented arms. How old are you V said the king. Three weeks,' said the Irishman. Erow long have you been ip the ser vice asked the king. Twenty-seven years. Am lor are you a fool 1' roared out the king. • Both,' replied Patrick, who was in stantly taken to the guard house, but par doned by the king after he fully under stood the facts of the case. • A FINE THOUGHT.-A French writer has said that to dream glorious, you must act glorious while you are' awake, and to bring angels down to converse with you in your sleep, you must labor in the cause of virtue during the day.' AN INrANT BABOON.—The following curious acconnt of a baboon family is trans lated from a recent French work, by M. Boitard, for Goodrich's Illustrated Natural History :' There have. been, and still are, in the menagerie of the Gar den of Plants, Paris, a number of baboons, and four years ago, a female, who had a young one, furnished one of the most amu sing and singular speetacles I ever wit nessed. She was placed with in a cage, , near the one she formerly occupied, with several other animals of the same species. The infant baboon was hideously ugly, but she lavished upon it the most tender caresses. When it was eight days old, the door of eommunioation was opened, and the male entered. The mother, seated in the middle of the cage, held the young heir in her arms, precisely as a nurse would do under similar circumstances. The hap py father approaohed and embraced his mate with French gallantry upon each side of the face ; he then kissed the little one and sat down opposite to the mother, so that their knees touched each other.— They then both began to move their lips with rapidity, taking the young one from each other's arms, as if they were havfng a most animated conversation concerning it. The door was again opened, and the baboon friends entered, one after another, each embracing the mother, who however, would not allow them to touch the young one. They seated themselves in a circle and moved their lips, as if felicitating the heir, and perhaps finding in it a marvelous resemblance to either father or mother.— This scene was very much like that which often takes place in the human family on similar occasions, except that we suspect the felicitations were more heartfelt and genuine on the part of the brutes than on that of their more favored prototypes. All the baboons wished to caress the young ones; but no sooner did one of them put forward his hand than a good slap from the mother warned him of his indis cretion. Those who were placed behind her streched their hand out slyly, slid it under her arms, and suceeded sometimes, to their great joy, in touching the little one without the mother perceiving it, par ticularly when she was engaged in conver sation. But a smart correction soon taught them their indiscretion was observ ed, and they quickly retreated. It was evident that the monkey mother, thorough ly accquainted with the requirements of her position, knew perfectly well how to divide her attention between her guests and her infant charge.' PUZZLING A LAWYER.-1 1 1verybody in Philadelphia, and out of Philadelphia, we believe (says the Germantown Telegraph,) knows, or has heard of Gottlieb Scbeerer, a tall, robust, well formed German, with a small, twinkling eye, and a look that tells you quite as distinctly as language, that he knowS a thing or two.')Beiog called upon the stand as witness on one occasion, he was catechised rather severe ly, (as the story goes,) by Mr: Dallas, who expected to make oun a strong point, by eliciting something from the following questions : Were you at Harrisburg, Mr. Soheer er, in December V At Harrisburg in December, did you say, Mr. Dallas 1 Yes sir, I said at Harrisburg in Deoem- ber.' Patting his head down thoughtfully for a moment, he replied : No, sir, I was not.' Were you at Harrisburg in January, Mr. Scherer 1' At Harrisburg in January, did you say, Mr. Dallas Yes, sir, at Harrisburg in January.' Relapsing into a thoughtful mood for a moment, he replied : No, sir, 1 was not in Harrisburg in January.' Well, Mr. &beam, were you in Har isburg in February 1 Did you say at Harrisburg in February Mr. Dallas ? Yes, sir,—answer me if yon please—l said at Harrisburg in Febnary.' Studying a moment or two, as beforo : 4 No, sir, I was not at Harrisburg in February.'
