A Caxdid Deacos. —Deacon M, was an
honest old codger, a kind, obliging neighbor
and a good church -going Chtisiiao,believing
in the Presbyterian creed to- the fullest ex
tent ; bm, alackaday ! this pillar of the church
was at limes a little “shaky”—in fact, ibe
deacon would occasionally gel exceedingly
“mellow and almost every Sunday at din
ner he would indulge in bis favorite cider
brandy to such an extent that it was with
some little difficulty he reached his pew,
which was in ihe broad isle, near the pulpit,
and between the minister’s and the village
squire’s.- One Sunday morning Ihe parson
told his flock that he should preach a sermon
to them in ibe afternoon touching many
glaring sins that he grieved to see conspicu
ous among them, tfhd that he hoped that
they would lisien attentively and not flinch
if he should happen to be severe. The after
noon came and the house was full ; every
body turned out to hear their neighbors
“dressed down” by.the minister, who, after
well opening his sermon, commenced upon
the transgressors in a loud voice with the
question, “Where is the drunkard?” A
solemn pause succeeded this inquiry, when
up rose Deacon M„ with hia face radiam
from copious draughts of hia favorite drink
at bis noontide meal, and, steadying himself
as well as he could by (he pew.ratl, looked
up to the parson aud replied, in a piping and
tremulous voice, “Here I am.” Of course
a consternation amongst the congregation
was the result of the honest| deacon’s re
sponse ; however, the parson went on with
his remarks as be had written them, com
menting severly upon the drunkard, and
winding up by warning him to forsake at
once such evil habits if he would seek salva
tion and flee Ihe coming wrath. The deacon
then made a bow and sealed himself again.
1 “And now,” out spoke Ihe preacher man in
his loudest tones, “Where is the hypocrite ?”
A pause, but no one tesponded. Eyes were
mrned upon this and that man ; but the most
glances seemed directed to the squire’s pew,
and indeed the parson seemed to squint hard
in that direction. The deacon saw where
the shaft was leveled or where it should be
aimed, and rising once more leaned over his
pew-rail to the squire, whom he lapped on
Ihe shoulder, and thus addressed : “Come,
squire, why don’t you get up ; I did when he
called on me.” —Boston Post.
“Don’t you think,” said a brother lawyer
to Judge Greenwood, of Georgia, “(hat Jim
Pierson is the greatest liar of a lawyer that
you ever saw 1”
“1 should be sorry to say that of brother
Pierson,” replied the Judge ; but ho is cer
tainly the moat economical of truth of any
other lawyer on the circuit.”

and the safe in use by H. A. Lantz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans & Watspn, and pat in books
and papers precisely alike. I
The fire was started at $$ o'clock, A. M., and
kept up until four cords of green! hickory, two cords
dry oak and half chestnut top wood were entirely
consumed, the whole under the superintendence of
the subscribers, members of the Committee. The
Safes were then cooled off with) water, afler which
they were opened and the books and papers taken
out by the Committee and sent to H. A. Laotz’s
store for public examination, dfter they were first
examined and marked by tbe Committee. The
books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured
.by Evans & Watson were but [slightly affected by
the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe
manufactured by Farrels Herring, were incur
judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent more than
those taken from Evans & Safe.
Wc believe the above to have been a fair and im.
partial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes.
