IIeyity in the PUlDit,

o how inappropriate place for 'courting a smile
where one should win SOUL Above all things
he who stand in the desk should carry a solemn
department COMFORTING with the awfultruths he ut
tiers. But regret to say there are many minis
tiers whose popularity rests solely upon their Ujt
in the pulpit Sift them down, and you will find
but little except funny expressions in their sermons.
Now such men will, in this corrupt age, have a
certain kind of popularity; bur is it right for a
minister to talk nonsense for the sake of gaining
human applause?
But something remains to be said on the other
side of the subject. Far he it from me to condemn
minister because people sometimes laugh at what
he says in the pulpit Laughter is excited when
we behold something uneXpecte and uncommon.
Now there is nothing more unc ommon III this day
than commOn-Sense minister Natural and APP
proprlate expressions are not expected from the
pulpit; hence when they are heard, no wonder
people should laugh. minister once took for his
text q am the rose of Sharon &C.; and began his
discourse by pointing to a lady who was holding a
rose in her hand and telling his congregation that
the rose OF Sharon was just like that. Could any
thing have been more apt and appropriate? And
yet almost the whole audience laughed aloud. But
why did they laugh, as there was nothing of lu-
dicrouS nature in the allusion? Why, simply be-
cause they had not been in the habit of hearing
any common sense from the pulpit. Is there moth
that excites a smile in John Bunyan's Pilgrims
Progress, and yet all is common sense language
and it has been the means ofconverting thousands
Should the Lord Jesus now make his appearance
upon earth and preach as he used to do about play
ing children, meal and eaven, old garments anC
old bottles, hens and chickens, have no doubt he
would be thought altogether too trflng for shi;
I sober age.

MISCELLANEOUS.
From the Christian Citizen.
DiSmantled ArSenalS,

We love to contemplate the ruins of those black
looking war-factories that were wont to pour forth
a stream that gladdened the feest spirit that ever
breathed on this green world. There they stand
in haggard desoation, like thugs built before the
sun was made, and unable to bear its light: or
like bloated, ragged drunkard before mirror
with thousand angel faces in is. Still and cold
is that terrible mysterious rnginery that turn
ed the best things nature ever made for man into
lava-streans of hot poison, that burnt his heart up
with fierce, inhuman passions. And those cocd,
copper-colored worms are dead-the greedy me-
tallic snakes that devoured whole fields ofyellow
grain day, t he bread for which thousand wild
ows prayed, and piled their lean fingers at the
midnight hour. They are dead! and when they
died, their fiery malignant ghosts, trow, were
expelled the fellowship of better spirits in the bot
tomess pit that could not brook their alcoholic
breath They are dead the skulking reptiles
that, half-buried in the earth, poured invisible
their rivuets of bighting ruin into the fountains
of human happiness and life; that slung to death
in the sunniest walks of youth, hopes that took
hold off heaven, of earth, of the love and Joy of 4
thousand hearts, They are dead! aud the stream
is dry that fed the veins of war with hot vitality
And next, that monstrous Gorgon will die. De-
pend upon it; War never had in its DEVILS hear
any other blood than rum. Nay, its heart itself il
but vast dstillery keeping its huge veins and ar
teres full of that fiery fluid. The vat ofterment
ing grain and cane juice is the stomach Of War
and the st-worm its viscera. These are the nu
trltive and digestive organs of the great red drag
on: and for this,like other dragons killed in old
en- times,-it must be mortal; for rum is mortal
and all its fiery fountains will dry up, while The
earth is full of springs of water pure and sweet al
that which the sinless Adam drank out oflhe hant
of God.
