SERMON FOR BACHELORS.

SENMoN FUN DNCl1El.ORS.
The Hartford Mirror contains a Law
sermon. FOR the special benefit of the Bach
elors Club, founded on the following
text:
and they called Rebecca, and said
said unto her, scih thou go soith tbs man,
and she SAID L ,oiH go."-Genesis c. 25,
v. 4S.
Ia those times, ceremony, formalitv.
signing and sentiment were altogether un-
known. Re5ecca was a sensible girl. and
jumped at the first good offer. We would
have picked out better text to preach
from for the honorable and venerable fra
ternity, viz:
"JacOJ kissed Rachel"
That is something substantial for bach
clors to say grace over, the other text
was for the benefit Of Rebecca altogc-
Their.
''Jacob kissed Rachel,
And lifted up his voice and wept."
How pathetic. The fact is, time and
fashions make strange inroads upon poor
human nature. Here was Jacob securing
the country to look for wife, and ON a
fine sunny day, in the valley Of Padana-
ram, he saw her at distance drawing wa
ter from well, being barefoot; and with
out ceremony he ran towards her, and in
the language of the good book, he, "kiss-
ed her, and lifted up his eyes and wept.'
We have no account that Rachel boxed
his ears for his rudeness, as in these days
of simplicity and innocence, would have
been done, particularly in good society
The truth is, we are too refined in our no.
tions, to take pattern from the rustic SIM
plicity of our first parents; and our wives
would never call their husbands my Lord
and wait until they had dined as our mo-
theirs did otyore.

A SLEEPY PARISH CLERK. A few Sundays
ago, the clerk of a neighboring parish church,
IN consequence of having partakcn of plenti-
ful dinner, and drop of his own very good ale
after it, in the course of the afternoons service
felt more disposed to sleep than to watch and
piay;" and accordingly took the liberty, while
the parson was reading over the service of the
day, to indulge himself with comfortable nap.
This indulgence might have passed unnotced
but for the heteordox response which MIR. Amen
uttered when he awoke from his slumber. The
minister read with due emphasis ain orc rotundo
the part allotted him; and in due order, should
have followed the clerks response, when to the
horror and amazement of the aged and more
serious portion, and to the great amusement of
the more juvenile part of the congregation he
bawled out, Rock the cradle bow WOW, wow"
We have boon informed that for this offence a.
gains; the laws of decorum, he was suspended,
but, on promising to be more careful in future
he has been reinstated in his office.
