The Hartford Mirror contains lay SER
mon for the special benefit of the bachelors
founded on the following text:


"And they called Rebecca, and said unto
her. Wilt thou 60 with this man? And she
said, will go. Gen. xxxvI. So"


In those times ceremony, formaity, sigh
ing and sentiments were altogether un-
known. Rebecca was good girl and jump
ed at the first good offer.


The editor of the Norwich Aurora says
he could have picked out a better text to
preach before the honorable and venerable
fraternity, viz:


'sJacob kissed Rachel"
That is something substantial for bachelors
to ponder over. The other text was for the
benefit Of Rebecca altogether.


"Jacob kissed Rachel


And he lifted up his voice and wept."
How pathetic The fact is, says the Auro-
ra, time and fashions make strange inroads
on poor human nature Here was Jacob
securing the country to look for a wife;
and on a fine sunny day in the valley Of
Pandanarum, he saw her at distance,
drawing water from well, being barefoot
ed, and without ceremony he ran towards
her, and in the language Of the good book,
1'kissed her and lifted up his voice aud
wept.o We have no account that Rachel
boxed his ears for his rudeness, as in these
days Of simplicity and innocence. she
would have done particularly in good soci-
ety."


FIGHTING LATIN-In the battle Of the
9th Of May, when the success Of our arms
depended on our dislodging the enemy's
battery which swept along the road with
fatal effect. Gen. Taylor fastened to Capt.
May and told him, 81 request you, sir, to
take that battery"


sslt shall be done,'' was the reply.


"Remember," added the General, "you
mnst take it, no7us uolus 81


Away galloped the gallant dragroons,
captured the battery, and returned with
Gen. Vega as their prisoner


This is about equal to the voting of Con-
gress vice persa-as one of our neighbors
characterized their pipd uoce vote in the
Senate on certain occasion.
