the deacon's pew. And Emily hzlf returned the
glance, but the next moment relapsed into ~
grave an expression as her sunny face would
allow Her father sat as irnEoveabic as the
pillars which supported the roof OF the church.
| A general buzz ran along the benches as
George passed, and the girls, dear creatures!
were convinced, by one glance at his handsome
| face, that he would deliver a most eloquent adj
dress.
| The preliminary ceremonies were soon over,
and George, taking out eambrick handkerchief,
proceeded, Scctnldenl artem, with "When we
take survey of the universe, and examine the
black catalogue" etc,
1t was evident, from the very moment he took
up the cudgels, that the s'monster intemperance''
had no quarter to expect He pommelled it right
and left He showered upon it the most ire
mendous epithets, and hurled at it huge and in
domitabie words. Indeed, several of the ladies
came very near being choked, merely by attempts
| inr to swallow some of the huge words which
rolled from his lips, and fell tumbling and crack
ing among his audience. Sleep was entirely out
! of the question, and an old gentleman, who had
been in the habit of dosing in his pew from time
immemorial, solemnly protested that he had been
unable to get wink OF sleep, after the amen OF
the parsons first prayer. As the orator pro
ceeaed, he waxed warmer and warmer; his epi-
thets became more and more furious, and his
words longer and longer, till finally he conclu-
ded by magnificent figure, in which he COM
pared incompetence to every thing horrid that
ever existed either in reality or in Imagination;
and in all of which there was not one word of
less than five, and very few less than seven syl-
tables. This was the very climax of eloquence
The language was considered capable OF nothing
farther.
Afterthe meeting was dissolved, the members
crowded around the young orator, to congratu-
late him upon his success. But one opinion was
expressed of the address. The ladies declared
that it was beautiful. a Judge of the court pro-
nounced it ga most powerful efiort.o The sleepy
gentleman who had been kept awake, said that
S'it was an arousing appsal;' and even Deacon
Pellingham observed tnat Mr.. Sillers was ga
young man OF very orthodox principles" The
good deacon insisted ON our stopping at his
house, where he RECALLED us with history of the
old presbyterian controversy, and the progress
of the temperance reform, up to the present
moment. At parting, he chopped he should have
the pleasure OF seeing US often" and expressed
wish-poor, innocent man! that "the young
folks might become better acquainted" in both
of which he was gratifed to his hearts content.
