RO}3ERT SAMUEL. Woal 11. .4 6 Qicc dt "A DAY'S MARCH NEARER HOME." I know this life's a pilgrimage A journey to the skies A passage to that better land, Where pleasure never dies. Oh, then to find so sweet a place, Above yon starry dome, I go, for every day but brings "A day's march nearer home." The path I know is sometimes smooth, And then again uneven: I rourmur not, for 'tis the way That pilgrins go to heaven. I know thlere is a stream called death, Whose waters dash and foam, *Tis just before-but still I go "A day's march nearer home." Oh, what relief it is to know, The time cannot be long, Before my soul shall be regaled Within the land of song. . This cheering hope I cannot find Within the skeptic's tone; AMy Bible bida me onward go " A day's march nearer home." SOMEBODY. Somebody's Courting somebody, Somewhere or other to-night; Somebody's whisp'ring to somebody, Somebody's list'ning to somebody, Under this clear moonlight. Near the bright river's flow, Running so still and slow; Talking so soft and low, She sits with.somebody. Pacing the ocean's shore, Edged by the foaming roar, Words, never breathed before, Sound sweet to somebody.

Mv Drix.uvnit BarF.TrinuiIr.-I an an unlarnt hard shell alitist preacher, of whom you've o doubt heern before, and I now appear here to expound the Scriptures and pint out the nar ocw way which leads fronm a vain world to the treets of the .Juroosalum, and my text which shall choosee for the occasion is in the leds of he Bible somewhere between the second hronic ills and the last chapter of Timothy Iitus, and when you lind it you wilL find it in hese words : " And they shtall gnaw a file and flee unto te mountains of IHepsidam, whar the lion roar th and the wang doodle mourneth for its first born." Now, my breethering, as I have before told ou, I amt an uneddicated man, and know noth ing about gratmmar talk and collidge highfatloo tin ; but I'm a plain unlarnt preacher of the Gospel what's been foreordained, and called to expound the Scriptures to a dyin world, and prepare a preverse generation for thte day of rath; ror "they shall gnawv a file and flee uto the mountains of Ilepsidam, whar the lion oareth and the wang doodle mourneth for-its first-born." My beluved brcethecrintg, the text says " they hall gnaw a file." It don't say they ray, but hey s/hall. And now there's tmore'n one kind f file. There's the hand saw file, rat-tail file, single file, double file and profile; but the kind f file spoken of here isn't one of them kind neither; because it's a figger of speech, my ~reethering, and mecans goin' it alone, getting ukered; for " they sha~ll gnaw a file and, flee unto the mountains of I lepsidamn, whar the lion roreth and' the wang-doodle mourneth for its first-orn." And now thr-re lhe some here with fine close onl thtar backs, brass ring Ott thar lintger-, and tard on thar hiar, what goes it while they're young; attd thar be brothers here what, as long as thur constituttions and forty cent whiskey last, goes it blind ; and thar be sisters here what, when they git sixtecen years old, cut thiar tiller ropes anid goes it with a rush ; but f say, my dear brecthirint, take care you dont't Ihid whna Gabiel blows his last trtunp, that yo'v ll weitt it, alone and ukereud; for " they shall gtaw a file and1 flee un~to the mnountainis of Ijep sidami, wharit the lion roareth anti the wvang doodle miourneth for its first-born." Andi, my brecthren, there's umore dams lbe sides Ilepsidam. Thar's lIottendami, Iladdam, Amsterdam, mnilhilam and dlon't-caro-a-am te last of whicb, mty dear breethering, is the worst of all, and remiinds me of a circunistans I once knew in the State of ]llentoy. IThere was a mani what. built himt a mill on thte east fbrk of Agur ereek, and it was a good nill anid groundl a site of grain, but the nian whtat built it was a miserable sininer, anid tiever give aniy thing to the church ; and, my breethtering, one night thiar come a dreadful storm of wind antd rain and the fountains of the great dceep wais broken up atnd the waters rushed dIown and swept that man's mill damt in kingdom come, and I0 and behold, int the meriting when lhe got Up) he found lie wa not worth a dam. Now, my young breethering, whien stormis of temptation overtake ye, take care you don't fall from grace ad become Iike that mtan's mill-not worth a dam ; for " they shall gmnaw a file and flee unto the mountains of IIepsidamt, wlhar thie lion roar eth and the wang-doodle tuourneth for its first born." " Whar tle lion roareth and the wang-doodle mourneth for its first-born." This part of the text my bret hering is another figerrof speech, and isn't to be taken as it says. It doesn't mean the liowlin' wilderness, where John the hard shell Baptist was fed on locusts and wild asses, but it means, my breethering the city of I New Yorleans, the mother of harlots and hard lots-whar corn is worth six bits a bushel one day and narry red the next; whar-niggers are as thick as black bugs in a spoiled bacon ham, and gamblers, thieves and pickpockets are skit ing about the streets like weasels in a barn yard-whar they have iream colored horses, gilded carriages, marble saloons with brandy and sugar in 'en-whar honest men are scarcer than hen's teeth, and a strange woman once tuk in your beluved preacher and bamboozled him out of two hundred and twenty-seven dol lars in the (winklin of a sheep's tail; but she can't do it again Halleljah ! for " they shall gnaw a file and flee unto the mountains of Ilep sidam, whar the lion roareth and the wang doodle inourneth for its first-born." My breethering I am captain of that flat-boat you see tied up thar, and I've got aboard of her flour, bacon and oats, and potatoes and apples, and as good Monungehaly whiskey as you ever drank; and I'm mighty apt tu git a big price For it all. But what, oh, my breethring, would it all be wuth if I hadn't relidgin? Thar's uthin like relidgin my breethering. It's bget ter nor silver and gold jimerack, and you can no more get to heaven without it than a jay bird can ily without a tail. Thank the Lord I'm an uneddicated man, my breethering, but I've sarched the Scripters from Dan to Bur shebee, and found old Zion right side up, afid bard shell relidgin the best of relidgin. And it's not like the Methodists what expects to git into heaven by hollerin hellfire; not like Uni versalist what gits upin the broad gage and roes the whole hog ; nor the United lreetlher ing what shakes each other by the seats of the rowers and tries to lift theirselves into heaven, ior the Catherlieks what buys thur tickets from ,her priests-but it may be likened, my breeth ring, unto a man what had to cross a river, mnd when he got thar the ferry boat was gone, mud he just rolled up his breeches and waded ver-hallelujah ! for "they shall gnaw a file md flee unto the mountains of Hepsidam, whar he lion roareth and the wang-doodle mourneth or its first-born." Pass the hat broter Flint, and let every hard hell shell out. Amen.

In reference to the eas -Ex-Governor T. 1. ucker, of Mississippi, 'ed of a cancerous tumor on his face by Gilbert, the N. 0. Crescent says: - " The case-came und tir own personal ob srvation.
