Mr. Bpurgeon's Success.
The British Quaiterly Ki-vk-w give tlx
following reasons for Mr. Spuigeou'sgrcu
success:?
The first spcret of his Success, we tbiok
will be fouqdln his elocution. It is singu
iarly natural. There is not a trace ofpul
pitism in ft. The speaker might be nchar
list lender, addressing a multitude on Ken
ningt^n Common, so complete is the ab
sence of every thing from his tone and man
tier that might* have- reminded you 01
church or cfinpol. The stylo of the preach
er is for the most part purely colloquial
It is one niai^talking to another. 1-von

Scotchwoman gave her grandson the news

The otilv reading aloud tin; h"V had been
imich in the v.*ay of healing was at the
parish kirk, and ho began to read in tie
oxact tone in which he had so oftea heard
the minister read. The good lady w:.?
shocked al the boy's profanity, and saving
him a box in the ear, exclaimed, "What!

Nonconformists and Kpiscopalians nmon<>
us are largely infected by it. The extern
poraneoiis mode of preaching, so general
among Nonconfotmists, is much nuno favorable
to a natural manner than t!:e reading
of sermons, so common among Churchmen.
Mary Nonconformist*, however, hn\ c
much to unlearn in this ropect, before tlic-y
can hope to become agreeable public instructors;
ainl w ith regard to many, of our
clergy, from tlio tvrr-rfcuring notes with
which th?-v bogin and close there sentences,
or.o is tempted lo think they inu'-t have
been influenced in this respect by their long
familiarity with Latin hexameters. Certainly,
we get the same k?y-note al the beginning
of the sentence, the same monotonous
level through the middle, be t'.ie middle

in its tone, should l>e deemed porfnnc.
tory and artificial altogether ? Mr. Sturgeon's
complete exemption from mannerism
of this soi t has more to do than many people
suspect with the success which has marked
his career.
The style of tho preacher is another element
hearing conspicuous relation to hi<
success. His language is. for the most ] art.
good idiomatic. Saxon. Ilo speaks lo the
people, not in tho l.n^vir.^j of hook-?, litil
in th?-;r own lan^'rig'. 1I.> gives them
many a short treati.-e on divinity, Inn it inot
a treatise fur the juw, it is simply so
much talk al?out the matter. Ills dietion.
ntul his whole manner of setting forth
thought, are more from the maikvt placc
than from the cloister. Xo m:in or woman
can fail lo understand him. It is one of

In this I lit-re is so much of nature, especially
when compared with-the dull platitudes
and elaborate obscurities with which thee
good pe<?ple have been long familiar elsewhere,
that the pleasure they feel under this
new dispensation of tilings is surely not difficult
to compiuhend.

Attached to the ship was a negro cook,

"Oh J" said Jimmy,.winking at his'companion,
"that is easy enough. I thought
every Tool knew that."
"I tought so, too," said Centaur, "an' so I
say to myself, Jimmy Ducks 'II know."
"Well, you poo," said Jimmv, looking
Iscrioufc ; " il isnt a common way of "cook- |
ing a goose ; but von it is served up after
jfi-di,at the- nobility's dinners, they "p?stpone'
it. Now, this is the mode : After
drawing the bird, stufF it with a mixture of,,

Centaur listened with attention, and noting
upon the tablet of his brain Jimmy's
directions, started for the galley, highly
elated.
Dinner time arrived, and Centaur won
honors by the style in which ho served the
fish. Dish after dish disappeared: and
when every one supposed tho meal to bo
concluded, another dish wns .placed before
the captain, who, on rerhoving tho cover,
