Extract
From a Sermon delivered in Charleston, by j
I lov. Whitoford Smith.
" Hut lot us not vent our itttlinn.;tion
ni^ainst the ministers of religion nnd the ollice.rs
of State as though they alone had sinned.
If wo turn our eyes upon tlie <rie.it body of I
our people, how much shall wo discover call- |
ing for humiliation nnd repentance! It will 1
not do always to deal in geuurul denunciations
against sin. 11 is necessary sometimes to bo
specific and minute. Let us then look closely
and with a scrutinizing eye upon sonic of
tiic more flagrant iniquities of which us u
people we have been guilty. Although the
page of history is full of examples of the j
truth, that national degeneracy and corrnption
are the sad hut inevitable consequences |
ut' wealth ; and although this truth is of fro- j
((Ucnt application to individual character, we |
have been strangely infatuated with a desire |
for opulence and increased riches. A oonsc
?|Ucncc of this general covet* msness h:is * en
an unwillingness on the part of tin.us n 'I*
])ursuc the steady and honourable p ith of industry
contented with the blessings of competence,
but they must needs rush into wild and
extravagant speculations with the hope <>!'
amassing in a year whnt might well b t!
reward of a life of toil. Flushed with
success of a lirst trial, ormorlii'ud by a :i t
defeat, another experiment has been hazarded,
and still another, until the habit of speculat
ion )i:is lionn fnllv* ???/! i...? . f
tvr revulsion i:i tlio ooinnicrciiil world lias
scattered t!io fragments of many u wrecked
fortune. This spirit has 'likewise seduced
from agricultural pursuits many of our people,
congregating them in large cities where tln-v
have been " engulohed in luxury and cllominaey."
It lias led many t<> the abandonment
of homo and all its sweets, to the sundering
of the dearest ties of friendship ; nd kindred,
to the relimiuisbment of nil the n.l vnntniwa nf
a settled and well ordered community, to expose
themselves and their families to the inconveniences
and sufferintis of a life in the
wilderness. Its latent development has been
the crowding of emigrant vessels with suitors
of fortune, who have loft houses full of bread,
that they may starve in sight of California
gold.
To gratify this insatiate appetite for gain
our people arc already beginning to manifest
a desire for conquest and extended territory.
And although every acquisition becomes the
finbjcct of fierce contention and threatening
its very dissolution, yet so imp tuous is this
passion and so blind, that before we have realized
the results of the late Mexican con(I
nest, we lu'iir filu.nl fln> i.
mid Cuba. Shall we forget tliat wlioin (jod
would destroy, lie first turns nuul ? The present
area of our national domain is amply
Millieient for every want we can properly have,
and enough for our posterity for ages.
In immediate connection with this accursed
avarice, stands the lawless agrarinnism of
the age; a principle as hostile to religion as
it is antagonistic to the constitution of society.
Not satisfied with the largest blessings
of constitutional liberty, it threatens the overthrow
of all law. and the annihilation of all
distinctions among men. L'ndor the preten- ,
ded right of the majority to govern, it would
wrest from the minority all that has been secured
to them by federative compart.
V .1 * * 1 * ? '
?>ouun<j is lnuuc plainer nolii by nature
and revelation, tlian tilt* design of (!od that
there should be inequalities in the condition
of man. '' The poor shall never eea.se out ol
the land," was declared by the inspired Law- I
fxiver; and the fulfilment, of the purpose was !
witnessed by our Lord, when lie said, " the
poor ye nave; r.iways wun you. Had every
liinn boon made independent of his fellow,
liow soon would the sordid selfishness ot our
degenerate nature have raised every man's
hand against his brother. But the same infinite
wisdom which made the law of mutual
dependence the basis of all inanimate creation,
has applied the same principle to all the relations
of human society. Wise and merciful
is this arrangement of our Heavenly Father.
For, by it tlui sympathies of our nature are
called into action, all that is lovely and generous
and grateful in man finds room for oxer

' "NVcrll, civls, 1 pot such a scolding from '

\ ( U know 1 s;ii?i 1 could ijuilt almost as fast

tl?? this. You would not be caught putting a
glove on t<> sweep, or lioe, or weed in the ^;?rdon,
because you think it would look as if you I
wanted to he fine ladies ! If yon sec iny one |

a Min bonnet to preserve her eomplexiou, yon j
say she is ' proud and stuck up." Hut it is .
yon who are proud?too proud to think you
require any care to look nice. You have an . '
idea you look well enough at any rate. So ?
you just make yourself .-is rough mid coarse >
n.s over you can. by way of being independent. I
Your hands grow as Ktitf and hard as if you [ ]
held a plough, and swung a scythe, and '
when you take a needle you can scarcely feel
it in your lingers. This is wrong. There \
are many tilings which women ought to do, |
which require your hands to be soft and pii- j
, able, and they should bo careful to k< op them 1 '
j so. iiiovderto nudce them useful. lwcrv wo :
! r.r.-w who liys in 11 country fJiott'd knit bcr'
sell i p -ii in r 'uvi s. with lingers closed at the
1 t< j - -not mils, tn lot the lingers got hard.?
j There should he a piece of ribbed work at the
I wrist to n uke them stay on. When you use :
j your Ime, rako or hrooin, jiut on your glows j
: ?w o vou take hold of a pot or skillet, take j
I i < It- to keep your hands from b< ing sen red j
and bardem d. ' When vou wash clothes or |
' dishes, do not have water so hot us to foci j
unpleasant. .Many girls Mould their hands j
! until they can put them in water tdinost boil- j
! ing. {-'uch hands arc \i; lit to use a needle or I
pin. They are not so good to hold a baby or j
dress a wound. Take cure of your hands and j.
do not forget your faces. 1 have seen so ma- :
iiv country girls, who at sixteen hud coin- j
plcxiun 1 ikt alabaster, and at twenty six their]
j laces would look like a runnet-bag, that had ,
j hung six weeks in th chimney-corner. One j
. reason of this is, they do not wear a bonnet to !
rotoet them from the gun. Another reason j
] the habit they have of baking their faces '
before u wood lire. 1 have seen women stand
, before a great roasting lire, and c >ok until 1 ;
| thought thei'* brains were as well Mewed as |
j the chickens' ; and they would make no at- )
| tempt to shield their heads from the 1 n?- 11 ? !
[ Nay, they will fiot down in the evening, and
I bake tlii-ir thefts by the hour ; and this is one !
| of lb'- reasons why American women grow
| old, withered ;i!:d wrinkled, 1 :!'teeu or twenty '
i years before their tiino. JJvit another and the
i greatest reason is, your diet. 1'oojde. in this
j country live too well, and eat too much ln?t
I bread and moat. Country people usually eat
I richer food than those who live in the cities,
and that is a reason why, with all their 1'resh
j air, th 'ir average, ago is little greater than < i|
tv folks. Thousands of beautiful blooming
! country girls make (.Id, sallow faced women
of themselves before they tire thirty, by drinking
hot coffee, eating hot bread and greasy [
victuals. They shorten their lives by these |
] practices about as much as tlic city Is dies |
! with their fashionable follies. I do nut know 1
i what you think about it girls, but 1 think it
i about as much sin for women to got old. brown i
and withered faces, bye;.ting too much, as it !
l is for men to get red noses by drinking too '
I much. Very few people think it ;i disgrace I
I to have a bilious fever; but I had just as i ;ave j
the d'.ctor would tell me that 1 was drunk as 1
| that I was bilious. The one would come ;
from drinking too much, the other from eat|
ing too much, and where is the diif?;ri'n(!(! !?
i All this is a serious m ttcr, for it i fleets th
and life ; and the reason why I talk about
your complexion in speaking of it is, that
every one loves to look well whether they will
j acknowledge, it or not. Now, people cannot
I look well unle.-i they are well; an I no one j
! can be well very long who docs not try to take |
| care of himself. The woman who roasts her j
j head by the fire, disorders her bi'oou, brings |
on licaUaclies, injures her health, and makes
j her face to look liko a pteuo of leather.?
When she swallows hot coffeo, hot bread,
greasy victuals, and stronjr pickles, she destroys
her storiuu h, rots her teeth, shortens he:
life, and makes herself too uuly for any usaj
except Hcarini^ the crows off the corn."

A Thrilling Story.
1 lie following story watj take It from tluit
intcr^tiifg. b6ok, " Parley's Thousand tiud
One Stories." It is founded upon an occurrence
wllich actually took place in Vermont,
.*oiiie forty years a?o. The tacts are almost
literally related, as follows :
My brother 1 Ionian liked tho business of
carrying the mail better than I did; and so 1
wont to work in a new clearing I had com- i
nieuct'd, about a jnile and a half from home,
and not quite'so far from tho house of a brothcr-in
law. I use 1 to stay as often at one
place as the other. It was a bad arrangement,
as in case of accident neither family
would bv! alarmed or <? to look for mn If I
should not come homo. I fo.lt the force of'
lliis in tlio course of the winter, as you will !
;co directly.
There hud fallen one of our ohl funhidnod
Northern Now York snows, crusted over hard I
uiongh to hoar a man. 1 was netting on 1a- j
iinusly with my clearing, getting roady to j
build a house in the spring. 1 was ambi'ions, j
\nd worked early and late, going without my j
iiuncr some days, when the piece of tread j
uid meat t had brought in my pocket was |
frozen so hard that L could not m:tKtin?f? o
without taking up too much of my time.-? !
One day it was intensely Cold, with the pros- |
pect of a storm, th.it might hinder my work '
the next any, and ko 1 worked on as long 1
could sec, and after twilight I felled a tree, |
which, in its d (..scent lodged against another. ,
1 could not hear the idea of leaving tlio job !
Iialf linislicd, and mounted the almost prostrate
body to cutaway a limb to let it down.
The whole of the tree forked, about forty
feet up, into two equal part.-', with large proioi'tiiur
limbs from both. If wms niu-> ..f tlw>u<>
I had to cut away to bring it to the ground.
In my haste, perhaps I was not so careful us
diould have beeu, at any rate, tho first blows
jased the lodgment so that the tree began to
settle, and 1 was ju.^t going to jump oft, when
the fork split, and as it did so, one loot dropped
into the spaee so that 1 could not extri
Liate it fur the moment, but 1 felt no alarm,
lor I knew that I could cut away tho tree in a
minute, or perhaps draw my foot out of the
hoot, as the pressure was not severo At the
first blow of tho axe, the tree took another
st. rt. rolled over, and the spit closed with all
the force of its giant strength, crushing my
foot till my very bones were flattened, and
there I hung suspended, just able to touch
t he tips of my lingers in the snow, with noth
nig ii> ivm upon ior a moment?t lie air at zero
and growing colder?no prospect of any one
coining that way tlmt night'?t.lic nearest
house a mile away?no friends to feel alarmed
at my abscncc, for one would suppoi' uio safe
with the other.
.My axe in its fall rested upon the snow
cru.>t, about ten feot off. If 1 could only got i
that, I might yet save myself. I did not '
think how L was to cut myself loose from the j
body "f that great tree, suspended as T was,
head down, and suffering with the rushing
current of disordered blood, but I thought'in
that keen blade my only hope of life was lixrd.
.Inst forward of me grew .1 slim bush, which
I thought if I could obtain 1 could form into j
a hook by twisting the limbs together, and :
draw the axe within uiy reach.
Although the bush was out of my reach, 1
at last succeeded in getting hold of it by j
means of a loop by tying my su .ponders together.
1 drew it towards mo and cut it oil'
with toy pocket-knife?one of that sort so
long known as " Harlow knives," having a
single blade about two and a half inc'ics long I
and three ?ri??tli? of an iuch wide, with ctjual i
width all its length, set in a handle of pecu- j
liar form, half in length ivoti and hidf horn I
or none. 1 succeeded admirably in fashioning |
ii iy I took, mid almost frit tho handle of tin; j
uxe within my grasp, .so certain was 1 of sue- |
cess. From tlic tree that imprisoned me to !
(lie ground, descended rapidly for a dozen i
rods or . mote to a little creek. My axe lay
upon the brow of the liill. The tir-at movement
I made towards twisting the loop of my 1
stick around the handle, so as to draw it within
my ranch, loosen oil it from its icy rest, find
away it went down the hill, crushing through !
the little frost brittle bushes, down upon the
ice of the creek, down to a little fall a few
rods "below and over tlint into the unfrozen
pool, with a surging sound as it fell into the
water, thut. seemed Io.send its icy chill through
every vein and artery in my wholdf body.
I still had my lcnifo. 'J rue, it wen a rough
surgical instrument, but hrpo and the love of
life gave me strength to climb up by my
fastened leg and to cut away the boot ami
stocking, and then with that knife ! unjointcd
my ancle and fell to the ground?my left leg
a footless, bleeding stump! The intensity of
tho cold saved me from bleeding to death. I
tore off n p u t of my eoat, nnd with my handkerchief
and suspenders managed to hind up
my leg with a handful of snow, ami started
to crawl home; T succeeded in reaching with-1

Th<? dentist seated his patient in the chair

Hylos, "and return in a week, and I will "

Hylos got up, clapped a handkerchief to his tl
