From the Dedham Gd%ctte
Theodore ParkerS faSt-Day Sermon.

In the midst of the excitement attendant
upon the trial aud return of Sims. the Fugi.
tive slave, this sermon was preached at the
Melodeon, in Boston. The occasion and
the preacher naturally led us to expect an
outpouring of indignant and scathing elo.
quence, refreshing to those whose spirits
had been mortified and saddened by the
deeds of inhuman depravity and unuttera'
BILE baseness, which have secured 10 Bos-
ton, and portion of the creatures which
pollute its soil, an Immortality OF scorn and
infamy. But the effort of Mr.. Parker sur
passed even the highest expectations. lie
has carved with instruments OF keener edge
and harder metal, and painted with blood
ier and more terrible coIors than ever be-
fore. George r. Curtis, the minion and
tool of the shareholders, set up at midday
in the blazing SUN, with his naked flesh
stuck full of poisoned arrows, aud his vile
blood oozing from every wound, writhing
amid the jeers and taunts of an outraged
popuace, ready and eager to tear him limb
from limb, would not present picture
more terribly real and abhorrent to the
senses, than he does as he appears in the
following destroying and consuming SEN
tences which we extract from this dis
course.-CouId he exchange the sensations
and heart Of the kidnapper for the raore civ
ilized and numauized affections and dispo.
sltions of the hyena, ne would gaze but a
moment in the mirror which is thus held
up to him, and then take himself forever
from the sight and execration of mankind
The whole sermon is published in the
weekly Commonwealth, and it contains
matter and argument enough to convert
every body, worth converting, c1 in the Com.
monwealth, The following portrait will
answer both for Hallet and Curtis. The
memories of these miscreants will be pre-.
served as long as the sentiments of detesta.
ton and scorn shall occupy a place in the
human breast.

CENTRE OF THE UNION MovING WEST
We have seen the calculation somewhere,
that the population of the Union has been
sweeping westward, wave.ike, at the rate
Of about l3 miles per annum. DR., Patter-
son, of Philadelphia, thus calculates the
centre of the representative population:
In 1890, the centre Of representative pop
ulation was in Baltimore county, Maryland,
forty-six miles north, and twenty-five miles
east, from Washington. IN 1900 1t wss in
Adams county, Pennsylvania sixty-four
north, and thirty west, from Washington.
In 1920 it was in Morgan county, Virginia,
forty-seven miles north, and seventy-one
west, from Washington. In 1880 it was
in Hampshire county. irginia-lorty-t three
miles north, and one hundred and eight
west, from Washington In 1910, it was
in Marion county, Virgihia--thrty- miles,
north, and one hundred and sixty west, from
Washington.
Thus, it would appear that the centre of
representative population has kept nearly on
the same parallel of latitude for fifty years,
the latitude of 1910 being within ten miles
of that OF 1890. 1t has, in the same fifty
years, moved westward one hundred and
eighty-two miles.
Thus, we perceive that the mass of rep.
resentative population is moving westward
with accelerated velocity. The following
statement exhibits the movement, west

To draw from the generous COW her store,
With young hands strong and free
Till the trimming pale is running DER

To haste 10 the garden with hoe and seed,
