"Sir," said the gentleman, as the sheriff was carefully adjusting the rope, "really your attention deserves my thanks. In fact, I do not know of one I should rather have hang me." "Really," said the sheriff, "you are pleased to be com (plimentary. I do not know of another individual it would give me so much pleasure to hang." The following is a passage from the prayer of a clergyman who officiated in the House of Representatives on the last day of the session: "Be with them in their weakness, strengthen them with thy strength, scan with thy searching eye all their legislative acts, and we pray Thee, O Lord, that Thou wilt overrule all their doings!"
