It 'pearrd strange, but then I didu't knon nothing about it," was the response of L:ze as she turned over for a uap. The red in our clerk's face grew smi lingly redder, as it reflecleti the light of the burning jet, aud a roguish twiukie lurked in the corner of his ey es, as he turned ell the gas, aud all was dark, and our friends were left alone iu their glory. A sound of suppressed mirth was heard in the reading room for a few moments, and all was still. Two Views of the Case. Judge 0 , U. 8. Senator from Ytr mout, related, to us a good auecdute tiie other day, illustrative of aboiitiouism. The morning he was leaving home toeutcr upon his duties iu this city, a .trai jlit fao, d dea cod, who, looking upou th. whole onih as a great paudeinouiuin, cailed u hiiu aud said : " Now, Judge, I want you to do all iu your power to abolish slavery." "Well," said tbe Judge, " how shall I proceed ?" ' Ub, I don't knijw, but, you must abolish it. It is a damnable curse, aud must bs abolished. You kuow more about law thau I do. 'I he church is my stronghold, but you understand n.tiouai matters, Judge, aud can devise iovie p!un, aud I know it." " The only way I see to abolish it," said tbe Judge ' is to buy all t!.s slaves and sel them tree.

As the Judge was leaving the room the deacon's poner of speech came lo biui, and he called out. " Ob, say.
