A friend of ours from the soutb fwbose

the other day a funeral sermon which he
heard in North Carolina not long since. that
set even our associate Own winking,-
Parson S., a rather eccentric cflarac-

OF a hard case named Ram, which he did in
the following unique style: my beloved

ses, and he un'd EN-; he kept chickens, and
he fou't'em; he kept women, and there sets
his widow who can prove it. (The widow
sat diFctly in front OF the pulpit, and here
gave IN! afirmatory nod.) Our departed
first Yarnin' was when he broke his leg. but
he still went ON in the error Of his ways-
The $cond warnin' was when his son Pete
hung himself in in Jail and The last and
greatest warnin' of ali was when he died
himseHP The preacher enlarged on these
topicg until he had sunk Ram SO low that
his bearers began to doubt whether he
