He left them on the boat while he ran up town to get some cigars, and scarcely had he disappeared when a man with a hatchet face and a red goatee approached the ladies and inquired of the mother: "Going down to the Bay ?" "Yes, sir." "Never seasick in a gale, eh?" "Gale! It is going to blow?" she asked in alarm. "Flag is up, and that means wind, you know! Maaam, the?the young man you just left here is?you know?that is, he loves your charming daughter." "He waits upon her, sir." "Ah! exactly. If you want him for a son-in-law don't you go this trip." "Sir!" "I'm telling you honest, madam. Your daughter will be seasick first. She will call for a lemon, and some wine, and some Eiekles, and she will sigh and groan, and er hair will come down, and her bows SKew arouna, ana in nau an nuur yuu nun t know her. She'll be a faded flower?a crushed blossom. The young man won't know whether it is his darling or a bundle of rumpled muslin." "Dear me! but I'm alarmed!" "And then you'll begin to hate the thought of fried pork and baked potatoes and rib roast, and ten minutes later you'll thump down on a sofa and clutch and cling and groan and lament." "But George will be kind to us." "Madam, George will have plenty of business on hand. Chaps with his set ofears and full face are apt to be very sick. Before he can get a lemon for Melvina and a pickle for you he'll flop down and call himself names, and wonder how he was ever struck on Melvina or why he ever wanted you for a mother-in-law. He'll heave up and he'll heave down, and he'll wish you and Melvina in Halifax and himself in Mexico, and the upshot will be no wedding, no cards, no cottage with a clemantis trailing over the front door. Madam, I am a stranger to you, but I warn you from a heart filled with the milk of human kindness. The only woman I ever loved went with me on a seasick excursiop. My love was turned to gall and I gave her the shake." He then left. In three minutes mother and daughser were on the wharf.

Ax Editor's Joke.?Oakey Hall tells the following story of Mayor Harper, of New York city. The Mayor, was a strong advocate of temperance. While in office his publishing firm was issuing a book on Texas travel, by George W. Kendall, founder of the New Orleans Picayune. One morning Kendall, who was a famous joker, called to see Mayor Harper at the City Hall, and found him engaged with a committee of a Rechabite Temperance Union. Kendall put his head in the door and said : "Sorry you are engaged Mayor, and can't keep that little appointment with me at the American Hotel bar; but come over as soon as you can and I will keep the mint juleps cold." So saying he vanished, leaving the ladies of the committee looking daggers at the Mayor, who infelicitously said: "Oh, that is my friend Kendall, of New Ojleans. There was no appointment, and I never drink mint juleps." The ladies coughed and grew more "daggery," for the manner and method of Kendall had been very natural and sincere. ? nr* C 11 XTT^ r<?.n An orncer 01 me ? eisii sujuiuei vjrwalia, now in this port, says that a new vessel of that line, to be built at Sunderland, is to have the name of Llanfairpwyilgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrowllsanttysillogogogoch. 4'Where did you find that name ?" "It's pure Welsh," he said. "Have you never heard of the Englishman's perfect cure for lockjaw ? Here it is printed." He handed the reporter the following card: "Is your father at home ?" asked an Englishman of a Welsh boy whom he met 011 the Great Orme's Head, Llandudno. "No, sir; he's gone to work at Llansant-flfraidglan-Conwy." "Is your mother in, then ?" "She's gone to the fair at Llanfihangel-treirbefrdd." "Dear me! but where is your sister ?" "My sister has gone to school at Llanfairwilgwngllgogerych wyrndrowilsanttei 1 iogogogoch." "Good gracious !" exclaimed the Englishman, "I must go and take a smile.'" Shakspekiax Notes.?Shylock is a fair exemplification of how pound foolish a man may be. "Season your admiration for a while" is rather a spicy way of putting it. When Hamlet said, "but I have that within which passeth show," it is believed that he had in his pocket a complimentary ticket to the circus. Hamlet was probably on a fishing excursion when he said "The air bites shrewdly," and the inference is that he was successful in "catching cold." "Forever and forever farewell, L'assius. If we do meet again, why we shall smile," said Brutus, and how pleasant it is to contemplate that "age does not wither nor custom stale" this delightful habit of "smiling" when friends meet. The worst racket I ever had was with a wild stag. He shook me up so's I thought I'd never get over it." "How was that ?" "Why, it was a rousin big buck, Jim W.'s got the horns now.

I shot the doe with one bar'l, and him with the other, and thought he was all right, but when I stepped over a log to look for him in the bushes, he lit on me so quick I couldn't use my gun. He knocked it out of my hand, and then my knife, some way, and I grabbed his horns. I thought he'd never stop yank in' me round." "How did you get clear of him ?" "I gave his horns a twist and dislocated his neck." "That was a lucky twist." "Dnr Jim nuftin which ruins a nijreer more suddener,"said uncle Nash, solemnly, to his eldest hopeful, "dan de custom of visitin' hen-roosts in de full ob de moon.

"Did you see anything that particularly struck your fancy when you were looking around the furniture stores to-day ?" asked a young Somerville husband of his lately made wife, on her return from her furniture inspection. "Yes," she replied; "I saw something exceeding pretty in looking glasses." "I have no doubt you did," he observed, i "if von lookod into them." Tlie halo of calm, sweet peace rests upon that home. "I've stolen a coat," said a man to a lawyer, "and I want you to defend me. Think you can prove me innocent?" "Oh, yes; we can prove that you were in an adjoining township when the coat was stolen and the prosecution is malicious." "How much will you charge?" "What sort of a coat is it ?" "First rate; never been worn any." "Well, I won't charge you anything. Just give me the coat."

CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. I Oritllnal. | PREACH THE GOSPEL. After the resurrection of our Saviour he appeared unto the eleven disciples and gave them a commission to go into all the world for the purpose of preaching the gospel to every creature. This commission, which has all the binding force of a positive command, still remains in force. In the exercise of his mediatorial prerogatives, Jesus Christ still continues to call members of the human family and send them to preach the gospel to every creature. This he will continue to do until the consummation of all things. The apostle Paul says that when Jesus Christ "ascended upon high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." The ascension gifts are mentioned. They are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. The purpose for which these ascension gifts are bestowed is "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Eph. iv. Anostles and nronhets were extraordinary officers; evangelists, pastors and teachers are ordinary officers. The extraordinary officers were chosen for a particular purpose and for a limited time. The ordinary officers were chosen for all time, and for the general purpose of edifying the body of Christ, wnicli is the Church. They are evangelists, pastors and teachers, and the offices which tney fill are perpetual in the church in this world. The work which evangelists, pastors and teachers are called to perform, and for the performance of which they are fitted by the Holy Spirit, is to preach the gospel. The end to be accomplished is the salvation of sinners. A moment's reflection will convince any sober mind that to preach the gospel is the most important charge that God ever committed to mortal man. The gospel is defined by its author to be "good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." To preach the gospel to all people is to publish this good tidings of great joy to all, in every quarter of the globe. It is to be feared that many in our day and time, have yet to learn what is meant by preaching the gospel. This ignorance is not confined to tlie pew, it is found in the pulpit. A secularizing spirit seems to have taken possession of Christendom. Evangelists, pastors and teachers instead of publishing the good things of great joy, en tertain their hearers witn nieuipnysicai discussions about things which are profitable neither for time nor eternity. Too often do preachers trifle with the immortal souls of their hearers by spending the Sabbath hours of public worship in delivering polished, but Christless orations. Too often are the great truths of revelation delivered in the technical language of the schools, which the unlearned cannot understand, and about which the learned themselves are not agreed. In such preaching there is no "good tidings of great joy." The intellect may be, in some sense, developed by such preaching, but the soul is starved to death. It is passing strange that such preaching is, with the multitude of professed Christians, immensely popular. They like it. They are delighted with it. Is it not.strange that plain farmers and unlettered mechanics, who have immortal souls to be saved or lost, can be induced to listen, Sabbath after Sabbath, to these declamatory pulpit exercises, in which there is, to them, scarcely a particle of instruction? It is the purpose of God that the gospel be preacneu uy men iu men. nm ? consistent with the being and character of God. Further than this we need not inquire into the matter. In the Scriptures preaching and teaching mean the same thing. Sueh being the case, to preach is to teach, hence to preach the gospel is to teach the gospel. Before any one can be a competent and successful teacher he must have a correct and practical knowledge of what he would teach others. In order to teach the gospel to others, an individual must first be brought under the saving influence of the gospel, and be endowed and commissioned for that special purpose by God. Fvery pious man is not warranted in engaging in preaching the gospel any more than every pious Jew was warranted in assuming to himself the priest's office. Simplicity is a primary element of gospel preaching. The style, the language and the manners of the preacher of the gospel should besimple. In every Christian congregation there is a painful amount of ignorance. A few have made commendable attainments in Spiritual knowledge, but the mass have yet to learn the rudiments of the Christian religion. If the preacher would do his whole duty, he must present the truths of Christianity in language that the most unlearned can understand. >Such preaching God blesses to the conviction and conversion of sinners, and to the building believers up in holiness. [Original.] THE DROUGHT. For some wise purpose (tod has seen fit to withhold from us the rains of heaven, and the result is our crops are cut short. Those who reject the doctrine of a special providence will say, no doubt, that God had nothing to do with it. That the clouds are not directly controlled by God, but follow laws long since established, which are never, on any occasion, or on any account, suspended or reversed by God. The best that can be said for such a theory is that it makes God an idle spectator of all the suffering that his creatures will be called upon to endure as a result of this fixed law. The truth is if there is no special providence, there is 110 providence at all. The . 1 A .1 wnoiecannoi ue presex'vou wjuiuut yicjxu! ing" the parts. If there is no special providence, it is impossible to discover what our Saviour meant when he said, "two sparrows are sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not fall to the ground without vour father." Matt. 10:29. The Scriptural mode of accounting for the droughts with which our country is so frequently visited is certainly the most satis[ factory. This is to regard sin as the procuj ring cause of all our calamities. Where there is 110 sin there is 110 suffering. God has 110 pleasure in the suffering of any of his creatures, consequently he has no delight in turning the heavens into brass and the earth into iron. It would be rash to mention any particular sin as the cause of our trouble. No doubt, as a nation many sins may be laid to our charge. Prominent among our national sins is Sabbath breaking. No one will deny this. It is a deplorable fact that, asa nation, we have long since ceased to remember the Sabbath to keep it holy unto the Lord our God. Sabbath breaking was prominent among the sins of the Jews of old, and for 1 this sin God chastised them sorely. As a nation we need expect nothing but God's displeasure so long as we continue to desecrate the Sabbath. Another sin with which we as a nation are chargeable is worldly inindedness. The rush is to get rich. We have 110 time to serve God. It is right to be diligent in busi? 1?1 oIc-a tn corv/i flu* IICSS, UUt WC iUC mm; iv ^umu iv ~ Lord. Another of our sins is ingratitude. Last year our fields brought forth in great abundance, but we were not grateful to God for his goodness. Our hearts were filled with pride and we wasted the bounties of God's providence in gratifying our vile lusts. Another sin with which the American nation is chargeable, is the sin of secularizing the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ. The professed people of God, or a majority of them, have for years been laboring to eliminate from the Church everything that is offensive to the world. The resuit is that the Church and the world, by mutual agreement, have met and embraced each other. The professed people of God in fearful numbers, have given up their practical religion and adopted instead thereof many of the practices of the world. The lines which separate the professed people of God from the world are so indistinct as to be discoverable only on close and scrutinizing search. Like Israel of old "we have mingled with the heathen and learned of them their way." The wonder is not that God so afflicts us, but that he is so gracious to us. The people of God are commanded to be separate from the world. Not nominally separate, but actually separate and distinct, in all its ways, from the world. In open and defiant opposition to this command, the members of the church have set about in a regular way to bring the Church, in doctrine and practice, down to the standard of an ungod; ly world. _ [Original. HOME RELIGION. The last thirty or forty years has produced ; some marvelous changes both in Church and ! State. In no department have these chanj ges been more marked than in the revoj lution which has taken place in home relig| ion. Prior to the period mentioned nothing I was more common than for fathers and mothers to instruct their children, on all i proper occasions, in the doctrines of the Christian religion, and a portion of every Sabbath was spent in this work. Now a number of things have come in and drove out that time-honored and God-blessed practice. Parents send their children to the Sunday-school and regard that as all that God requires of them in the way of family instruction. They allow them to read the trashv Sunday-school books on the Sabbath and that leaves no time for catechetical instruction. The result is, thechildren of our country are growing up in profound igno-' ranee of the doctrines of the Bible and family religion is a rare thing in the earth. There are many congregations that are nominally Christian congregations, in which not a tenth of the heads of families ever maue a prayer in the presence of their household. This is surely a had state of things, but it is the truth stated with great charity. Do we not need an outpouring of the Spirit ? How long will God permit this state of things to exist? Is it not to be feared that he will say "because you are neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth." In the Church as well as in the State, the family is everything. The family is the nursery of the Church. God orders all parents to train their children for him. This duty they cannot delegate to their pastor, to the Sunday-school, nor to any one. They must perform it themselves. It is very difficult for the Church to train those who have not been trained at home. Those whose family training has been neglected rarely make more than half scholars in the Church. They seldom ever become familiar with the rudiments of the Christian religion. Trial by Prosperity.?We may be tried by riches as well as bv poverty; by health and strength prolonged through many years as well as by sickness ; by public honor as well as by slander and unmerited censure ; by appointmeut to an office of hi^h re sponsibility and carrying with it public distinction as well as by unmerited dismissal from it; by the fulfillment of our brightest hopes as well as by the catastrophes which quench them ; by the ease of our life as well tii?KwAl'/in nnnon onrl I US JUS UaiUBiUJJS , uy J 1:5 UIIII1URCU ?wiv-i untroubled security as well as by the perils which shake the heart with fear. Many a man who has nobly stood the test of sorrow and loss has faiied when the dark and eviil days have passed by and his life is bright with joy. We are not accustomed to describe our successes, our prosperous fortunes, the sources of our flowing happiness, as trials ; but by these, too, God may "prove thee, to know what is in thine heart," and whether thou wilt keep his commandments or no. These, too, may bring us discoveries of moral weakness and defect with which we had never charged ourselves. These, may be necessary to provoke into activity elements of righteousness which are wanting in alertness and vigor. They are among the "manifold" trials which contribute to Christian perfection. That we never think of them as trials may suggest to us the exceptional danger to which they expose us. They do not alarm us, and therefore do not excite us to vigilance and compel us to invoke that divine defence and support which, even in times apparently most free from peril, can alone give us perfect safety. Happy are those wno can see the eternal stars in the sunlight as well as in the darkness ; to whom all that is fairest in this visible world is the revelation of the glory of divine and eternal things; to whom the common gifts of God's providence are the symbols and sacrameuts of the better gifts of his grace ; to whom a life unvexed by care and illuminated with gladness is the discipline for an endless life in God.?lit/ Rev.
