A GOOD SERMON.

We have heard story Of the elder Dr..
Beecher, now Of Cincinnati, that il said 10
30 true, and 10 worth putting into type, 40
illustrating the truth thut We never can tell
what may result from an apparently very
insignificant action. The docior once en-
gagged to preach for country minister, on
exchange, and tho Sabbath proved to DO
ono excessively stormy, cold and uncom-
Portable. II was mid winter, and the snow
was piled in heaps all along in the rosds,
% . 10 make the passage very difficult.
Still the minister urged his horse through
the drifts till he reached the church, put the
animal into shed and went in. IA vet
there was no person in the house, aud at
ter looking about, the old gentleman then
young--took his seat in the pulpit. Soon
the door opened and single individual
walked up the aisle, looked about and iak
. seat. Tho hour came for commencing
service, but no moro hearers.
Whether 10 preach to such an audience
or not was now tho question, and il Was
ono that Lyman Becchcr was M. long in
deciding. lie felt that no had duty to
perform, and no had no righ, to refuse to
do il, and accordingly ho actually went
through oil the services-praying, singing,
preaching and the bcnediction--with only
one nearer. And when al was over, be
FASTENED down from tho desk to speak 10
bic congregation, !" but he had departed.
A circumstance SO rare was referred 10
occasionally, but twenty years after il Was
brought 10 the doctors mind quito strange
~. Travelling somewhere in Ohio, tho
doctor alighted from the stage, one day, in
q pleasant village, when gentleman stop
ped up to him, Familiarity cnlling him By
nsms. ri do not remember vou," said tho
doctor. "lsuppose not" said tho stranger,
shut We spent two hours together, in .
house, alone, once, 10 : storm" II do not
rccollect il, sir" added the old man
'prav, when vas in"
"Do you remember preaching, twenty
years ago. in such place, TO single per.
SOM" ayes, yes" said tho doctor, grasp
ing his hand, ri do, indeed, and if you arc
tho man, have been wishing to SEQ you
ever since" II am tho man, cir, and that
sermon saved my soul, made minister Of
me and Wonder 10 my church! The con-
verts Of the sermon are al over Ohio!n
So striking . result made no little i'm
preston upon the old veterans mind. He
learned that tho man was at the time Q
lawyer, Who was in tho town on business,
and tired Of Sunday morning At q coun-
Try hotel, went in despite Of the storm, to
church, to hear that sermon. Tho doctor
often tells the story, and adds, II think that
wss about - satisfactory m audience a.
ever had. "-B0slon Bee.

them to the soldiers within the barracks for

CURE FOR IlICCUPS.

Travelling, some time since, by railroad
from Columbus TO Baltimore, | took my
scat Immediately in front Of gentleman
who was suffering under a paroxysm Of
hiccup, to a degree that I had never be-
fore witnessed. In few minutes a per-
son appeared from the end Of the car, and
took sent beside him, when he said, 'Sir,
can YOU tell me what il good for the hic-
cnps? hive been afflicted in the way
you sec mo since yesterday noon. and
have Ind no rcst, or relief from physician
70 whom applied fos assistance; am
worn on, with suffering" To whom the
person replied, "Sir, will cure il in less
than two minutes by your watch; hive
confidence, for | am sure can doit. Hold
up, high, above your head, two fingers Of
your hand; lean back in your seat, open
ing your mouth and throat, 90 an TO give
free passage to your lungs; breath very
long and softly, and look very steadily at
your fingers" In less than the time spec
fled tho cure was performed, one hiccup
only occurring during the trial. The pa
tient could not express his gratitude, while
the practitioner only exacted from him, IS
a fee, the promise that he would extend
the knowledge which be had impaired, %
freely a. he had received it, assuring him
that he would never be disappointed in the
result.
We were al struck with the fact, and
many Of u considered that the stranger
was sent by that Power, often designated
10 particular Providence. Since then
have often had occasion to practice upon
patients in the same disorder, and neaver
without the most signal success.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10, IS4S.
Fire Aiarms-Dinner Declined-Ihe Saturday
Courier Case-Board Of Brokers.
Three alarms Of fires occurred during last
night but have not heard that much damage
has resulted.
Captain Small, who recently returned from
Mexico, and Is now occupying his seat in the
State Senate, has been offered the compliment of
public dinner by his friends but think he
has shown his good sense by declining, as this
dinner-giying has now become so common that
1t is questionable whether the recipients are not
more honored in the breach than the observance.
Judge King, in the Common Pleas. this morn
ing, pronounced the decision of the whole bench
IN the Saturday Courier case, by affirming the
decree OF Judge Parsons, in ordering the sale of
the paper and subscription list. The question
will be taken to the Supreme Court.
The Board of Brokers met to-day, but on the
announcement of the death of Alexander Lard
ner, Esq, adjourned without transacting any
business.
