A writer in the New York J.cilger 9«ys: F(rr an incarnation of true Christian ccMirago, piet}', peace, »ndreal contentment, commend ns txi AntS Patience Hutton, wliilom 9f Lovell, Mo. She lias passed ti) the better world, but not long since. Many who see tins scrap will remember her, and surely none can remember her but with pleasurable eniolion. One cool luitumnal evening, ■while .a prettracted meeting was in progress, a number of young mon were ascmblcd in the village tavern, and the conversation turn ed upon fonialo coiu'ngo, it was irenmrked that there was one wo- iinan in Lovell who could not be rfrightened. “id regular vixen,eh said an ■incredulous one. ‘No, right the opposite. She is (One of the kinde.st, and mildest, and most tetule.r-hearted, as well as one of the most trttly devout and piotis women tlnit 1 ever knew. 1 allude to Aunt Patioiire Hutton.’ lint this thing could not be be lieved by the otliers, so they re solved to put it to the test. It was known that the old ladv was gone to tl'.e meeting, iiml lliat in returning to her home she would pass through qitite a strete.h of ionescmie woods alone. Mine iiosi Kimball had that day slaugliter- ed an ox, and, armed with the skin, the party set fortli for tiie wood. It was a bright moonlight night, and though the shadows were . deep upon the wood-flanked stretch, yet objects could be (ptite (dearly discerned therein. Ar rived' at the appointed place, Frank F— clad himself in the ox-hide, with the enormous horns protruding from his head. Certainly, if anything on earth cottld Inivo apiieared utterly di abolical. at that time and in that place, it was that Slltyr-like .’iiasquo, 15v-and-by the nnsu.tipecting (dll fade approached, andgho was alone. She walked slowly, her oaken staff keeping time with her nieasiired sti'p. A.s she came notir, the representative of his Sa tanic, Majesty stejiiied forth from hi.s hiding-place, armed with a iuige piteld'ork, confronting Iter vrilh a sejinhdiral groini. Mercy ssikes alice ! \Yho be .on ?” asked Attnt Patietice, stop- “Ilast thotit not eyes, woman ? I am the Spirit of Evil—tlie Evil one Inmseli' 1” ‘AYell, well,” she said in a tone of siueen; commiseration,.“you’re a poor, itnfort’nate creetitr, sar- tinly. lint yoti never’d onglit’r been so proud and so obstreti’rotis agin tlie Almigitty. I can’t lielp yoit !” And site wetit (ptietly lier way, nor liad tlie voitng men tlie dispo sition toinolest lier f'nrtlier, Tliere was wliat we call an in born and indwelling faitli—afairli void of fear and guile, giving [loace and comfort.

A correspondent of tlie Iiidiam Fanner does not accept tlie opin ion so often expressed by liorso- men tiiat, if it were not for racing, tlie Agricultural Societies would fail to take money enongli at tlie gates to pay tlieir running expen ses. Tliere are many wlio really believe tliat it would lie impossi ble to conduct a fair successfully without tlie fast ring. They fur- ther believe that tlie encourage ment of great speed in linrsos is a legitimate work of ag-ricuitiial so cieties. Neitlier of tliesc propi - sitions are true. Tlie fact that tlie largest niimbor of people are generally present on the day tliat tlie pniici]ial racing comes otf is cited as evidence tiiat it was (he racing tliat drew (liein (here. And to one wlio lia.s given but little tliongiit to this subject, or wlio lias not been heliind tlie curtains and seen liow tiiese tilings are nianiiged, tlii.s is a plausiblo con- elusion ; but to one wlio knows liow tlieso tilings are managed, tlie argument is not so coiielusiN'C. Wliile tlio frioiids of tlio fast ling would liave the people be lieve tiiat tlie fast liorse broiiglit tlic crowd on tlie day of the rac ing, tliey argue ditf'erently wiien it comes to imikiiig out the pro gramme. Tlie rea.sonirig then is, that tlie racing must come off on tlie day when it i.s almost certain tlie greatest imniber of people will be in attendance, so tliat tliey can liave an opportunity of wit nessing it. ’riie argument stands in about this sliape : ’I'lie racing is arranged for a particular day, because tliat will be tlie most popular day, and tlie. people are tliere on tliat day because tlie racing is to come oft' on tliat day. One of tlie most siiecesssnl fairs of tlie Indiana State lioard of Ag riculture was wlien no premium was offered on speed alone. Nut long since tlie Oliio State tair was a grand success witliont any ]ire- miiim exeliisively on speed. The New York State fair lield last fall realized S40,000 receipts—810, 000 more tlian at any previous fair, yet no prendiim wa.s given on mere speed, ^'al•ions county societies liavo lield their fairs witliont tlio jircseiice of tlie fast ring, and, otlior tilings being etjnai, tlieir success lias been as grout as wlioii tlieir fairs were largelv given up to racing and gambling.—N. Y. Ohserner.

A Preacher’s Pow’cr. Second to Dr. Chalmers, Dr. Guthrie was the lion of the inod- orn Scotcli pulpit. Muuj anec dotes ai*e tol(.l illustrating the j)o\ver of his eUxpionce. d’he following is in the words of an eye-witness, Rev. George Hay, for man)' }-ears missionary ill the congregation. During one of Dr. Guthries powerful appeals to the unbeliever to close with the free offer of salvation through Jesus Christ, he described a ship wreck, and the launching of the life boat to save the perishing crew, in such vivid colors that the dreadful scene appearel actually to take ))lace before our eyes. Cant. 0 , a young naval office sitting in a front seat in the gallery, was so electrified that he seemed to lo.se all consciousness of what was around him. 1 saw him spring to his feet and take od' his coat when his mother took hold of him and pulled him down. It was some time before he could realize wliere he was. He told me a few days after, in his mother’s house, that he became oblivious to everything else ; that the scene described appeared so real that he was entirel)' carried away, and rose to cast off his coat luid tr\’ to man the life-boat!—Life of Dr. GtUbric.

The Sparrows. Dr. CarpenUT, who is a distin guished man of science, says he knows that the following story about sparrows is true : At a ladies’ school near Bristol,, it was the ride,, on every day of the week but Sunday, for the girls to go into the jday ground at twelve o’ehxrk, and there to eat their luncheon. The sparrows soon found out the crumbs the girls dropped on the ground, and used to gatlier in large numbers; one the garden walls a little before twelve, and wait there till the play-ground was again enipt)' of human beings. Then down they came to feast upon the crumbs This used to happen as regularly asjhe clock struck, except on Sun- dtvj^. Cu Sunda)’s the girls attended public worship, and there was an early dinner iu(if>f>rs, instead of a lunchean in the playground Idiose pei*sons who happened to stay at homo on Sunday morn ings were greatly amused to no tice that the spaiTOws knew Sun day {IS well as any young lady in school. They never came and twittered about on the gai*ilen wall a little before twelve ou that day ; for they had found out that on it there was no toast of crumbs. It seems that they had {dso their own way of finding out when it was a few minutes to twelve. Festival.—AYheiiever or wlier- ever is heard the wail of theneedy, there will be found lovely, noble wr men, willing and ready to lend a helping hanil. With the chil ling winds of autumn comes tlu- cry of the little orphans ;it Ox ford for food and clothing, and no sooner is it heard in Greens boro, than the women Ix gin to canvass the subject of raising funds to supply their pressinji needs; and knowing tliat th* shortest road to a man’s !u*ar: and pocket is ilirough liis stomach, they naturally suggest a festival. xViid we are authorized to sa)' that at an early day the cmd'lii- ed efforts of the ladies - f the city will he put forth in a and festi val for the orph. ns.—Oreensboro Patriot.
