Vio Sect In Heaven. Talking of secta till lato ono eve, Of tho various doctrines the saints believe, That night I stood, in a troubled dream, By the side of a darkly flowing stream, And a "Churchman" down to the river * carno, j When I heard a strange voice call his name, "Good Father, stop; when you cross this tide, You must leave your robes on tho other side." But the aged father did not mind. And bis long gown floated out behind. As down to tho stream his way he took, His pale hands clasping a gilt-edged book. "I'm bound for Heaven, and wucn I am there, I Bhafl want my Book of Common Prayer; And t hougli I put on a starry crown, I shall leel quite lost without my gown." Then he fixed his eyes on tho shining But his gown was heavy, and held him And tho poor old father tried in vain, A single stop in the fioodtfo gain. I saw him again on the other side. But his silk gown floated on the tide; And no one asked in that blissful spot, "Whether ho belonged to "the ?burch" or not. Then down to tho rivor a Quaker strayed, His dress of a sober lino was made; "My coat and my hat must bo all of gray, I cannot go any other way." Then he buttoned his coat straight up to bis chin, And staidly, solemnly waded in; And his broad-brimmed hat he pulled down tight Over his forehead BO cold and white. But a strong wind carried away his hat; \ A moment be silently Bighed over that, And then, as ho gazed on tho farther shoro, The coat Blipped off, and was seen no moro. As ho entered Heaven, his suit of gray Went quietly floating away, away; And none of the angels questioned him About tho width of hie heaver's brim. Next came Dr. Watts, with a bundlo of psalms Tied nicely up in II?B aged arms, And hymns"as many-a rory nico thing That tho pooplo in Heaven "all around" might sing. But I thought that ho heaved an anxious sigh, As ho saw that tho river ran broad and high, And looked rather surprised, as ono by ono The psalms and hymns in tho wa vos went down. And after him, with his M ss., Came Wesley, tho pattern of all godliness; But he cried, "Dear mo, what shall I do? The water has soaked them through and through! " And there on tho river, far and wido. Away they went down the swollen tide; And the saint, astonished, went through alone, Without his manuscripts, up to tho throne. When gravely walking, two saints by name, Down to tho stream together came; But as they stopped at the river's brink, I saw one saint from tho other shrink. "Springled or plunged, may I ask you, friend, How you attained to life's great end?" "Thus, with a few drops on my brow." "But I have been dipped, as you'B see me now, And I really think it will hardly do, As I'm 'closo communion,' to cross with you: You're hound, I know, to tho realms of bliss; Bot you must go that way, and PU go this." Then straightway plunging, with all his might, Away to.tho loft-his friend to the right Apart they wont from tho world of sin, But at last together they entered in. And now, when tho rivor was rolling on, A Presbyterian Church went down; Of women there seemed an innumerable throng, But the men I could count as thoy passed aiong; And concerning tho road they could never agree, The Old or tho Now way, which could it be, Nor ever a moment paused to think That both would lead to tho river's brink; And a sound of murmuring, long and loud, Came ever up from tho m?ving crowd, "Yon are in the Old way, and I'm in tho New, That ?B tho false and this is tho truoj" Or, "I'm in the Old way, and you're in the Now, That is the false and this is the true." But the brethren only seemed to speak; Modest tho sisters walked, and meek; And if over one of them chanced to say, What troubles she mot with on the way. How she longed to pass to the other Bide, Nor feared to oross o'er the swelling tide, A voice arose from the brethren then; "Lot no one speak but the 'holy men,' For have ye not heard the words of Paul, 'Oh,let tho women keep silence all.'" I watched them long in my curious dream, TiB they stood by the borders of tho stream; Then, just as I thought, the twowaysmet, But all the brethren were talking yet, And would talk on, till the heavenly tide Carried thom over, eido by uido; Sido by sido-for tho way was ono Tho toilsome journey of lifo was done; And all who in Christ, tho Saviour, died, Came out aliko on tho other side; No forms, or crosses, or books had they, No gowns of Bilk, or suits of gray. No creeds to guido them, or "MSS.," For all had put on Christ's righteousnces. A young man, from Vermont, who went out on a sailing party, last ?week, and became a victim to sea? sickness, describes tho sensation thus: "Tho first hour I was afraid I should die, and the second I was afraid I shouldn't." He had about tho right idea of it." An elderly maiden, who had suf? fered some disappointment, thus de? fines the human race: "Man-a con? glomerate mass of hair, tobacco smoke, confusion, conceit and calf? skin. "Woman-tho waiter on the aforesaid." "That's a pretty little bird, grand? ma," said a litt lo boy. "Yes," replied the old dame, "and never cries." "That'sbecause he's never washed," rejoined the boy. . Why is a pretty lady liko a loco? motive engine? Don't give it up there aro plenty of reasons. She sends off the sparks, transports tho mails, (males,) has a train following her, and passes over tho plain. Pounding ihn Gi ncc of Oort Into Him. We have read and heard a good many sermons, but tho most forcible of them all is that which wo give below, preached by a young Metho? dist itinerant, somewhere up in the Cumberland Mountains. W*e take it from a Mississippi exchange, and cannot vouch for tho truth of it. It is good enough to bo tr ne: When this old hat was new, there was a-gap in Cumberland Mountains, which is most likely there now. There lived right in the gap a black? smith, who was an infidel, a man of education, wielding a powerful influ? ence over the minds of men nrouud him, was a potent enemy of Chris? tianity, and made it his particular business to whip every minister who attempted to pass through the gap. At an annual conference of the Methodist Churoh, the appointed to this circuit refused to accept of his work; another was appointed, and another, and they all declined. At length, tho Bishop rose and asked if there was any minister in conference who had moral courage nud faith in Christ sufficient to encounter this monster. A young man responded: "Here I am-send me." Ministers and presiding elders went to their various appointments. The day arrived when young Bow? den was to fill his finit appointment, about two miles from the gap. Tho blacksmith, expecting rare sport, dismissed his striker, and Renting himself by a tree at the road-side, was reading Tom Paine, when he heard a man approaching, singing, in a voice that echoed among tho crags and oliffe, "How happy are they who their Saviour oboy." The smith inquired if ho was that d-d Methodist preacher sent to this circuit. Bowden replied that he was a Me? thodist preacher, and that ho was ap? pointed to that circuit. "Have you not heard," said the smith, "that I whip all disturbers of the peace that pass this way?" 'I have, sir, been informed that you aro very severe on ministers, the servants of Christ." "Yes," said he, "and I would pound tho ground with your Christ if he were to offer to preach in this neighborhood. I make you this pro? position," said tho smith. "Promise me three things: 1. Renounce this circuit. 2. Burn up your Bible. 3. That you will read Tom Paine, which I here offer you." Bowden replied that he could not comply with his demand. "Then,"said thesmith, "dismount and try your hand at pugilistics." Bowden replied that the coat ho wore was presented by some ladies, and not wishing to soil or tear it, he hoped he would be allowed to pull it off." The request was granted. He first drew out his right arm, and, as his right hand saw the light, he dealt tho smith such a blow that it felled him heavily to the ground. Bowden pounced upon him with the ferocity of a tiger, inflicting blow aftor blow in such rapid succes? sion that the smith cried out lustily, "Enough." "When the preacher fonnd out that he had tho young inquirer entirely under his control, he said to him that he would mako bin a proposi? tion: "1st. Join him in singing, 'How happy aro they who their Saviour oboy.' '*2d. Promise to burn up Tom Paine. "3d. Promise to read a Bible that I offer yon every day. "4th. That you go and hear me preach to-day, and regularly here? after." A few moro arguments dealt heavily into his ribs induced bim to accept numbers three and four, but he could not appear before his neighbors a whipped cur, with bis face black and blue, and as for singing, tho only music he had ever made was with a jews-harp and his trip hammer. Tho preacher pounded his penitent again until ho agreed to try and fol? low him in singing, if ho would lead. When the singing was ended, a few moro blows induced him to go with him to church. Curiosity was rifo to learn why the blacksmith should be at a meeting, as also for the altered condition of his countenance. Faithful to his promise, tho black? smith daily read his Bible, regularly attended meeting, and early became a convert to christianity, and not un? til he joined the church was revealed an account of tho first meeting with the preacher. Finally, thc affair was spoken of, and at the next conference the preach? er was asked for tho truth of the mat? ter, and with tears in his eyes, he ex? claimed: "My dear brethren, it ap? peared, tho only argument I could successfully use, and I did indeed pound the grace of God into him."
