SHORT SERMONS. III.-TIME
Almost every man has watch, which cost
him good deal. Many will buy watch and
not own Bible. They must have fine watch
and gold chain. What are watches made for I?
TO keep time. The watch then does what the
wearer does not Our fine miss will display a
watch, and sleep till ten-and sleep two hours
at noon--while the busy little monitor is going
tick, tick, tick. Our fine young man must have
a watch. What does he do with his time? He
knows best.
The human body is o watch of wondrous
make; "and every beating pulse tells but a
number less" The sun is a watch, hung in
the heavens by the Maker Of Time The sea-
sons in their annual rounds are watches. Every
pain that racks the body is chronometer. DR..
Franklin made q curious calculation while in
Paris. Have our watch-buyers and candle
buyers ever read it? If not, do so. But a
wiser man than Franklin said, "Time is short "
THERE'S no repentance in the grave, whittier
we all 60.
The heavens on high perpetually do move,
By nnates-mea the hour doth steal away,
By hours the days. by days the months remove,
And then by months the years as fast decay;
Yet Virgifs verse and Tullys truth do say
That time 6eth, and never claps her WINGS
But rides clouds and forward still she fings."

In many gentlemen's houses in France, there
is an apartment, of an octsgonal form, twelve
or fifteen feet across and thirtysix or forty five
feet round, and all the eight sides as well as the
ceiling above are of the most polished glass
mirrors; so that when n man stands in the
centre of the room, he sees himself in every
direction, multiplied in row of sells, as far as
the eye can extend. The humor of it is, that
when the lady of the house is out of temper,
when she is angry, or when she weeps without
cause, she may be locked up in this chamber
to pout, and see, in every direction, how beau
tiful she is

Elegance in dress is cheap and simple. What
it costs a man for tobacco who uses it is suffi-
cient, if added to the present cost of his cloth
ing, to dress him with elegance A few more
shillings yard for cloth, the work of tasteful
tailor, decent regard to the prevailing mode,
and certain neatness and simplicity, is all !!
Elegance is never gaudy, never outre, never out
OF fashion, nor in the extreme of fashion 1t
allows of few ornaments, and no studied dis
play. The difference of single dollar in an
article of dress may make the whole distinc-
ton between elegance and vulgarity. A single
tawdry ornament may spoil the effect of the
best tailor's workmanship. The slightest &C.
centricity Of cut betrays the Unborn rowdy.

HUMAN NATURE.--Human nature is the same
in all reasonable creatures; and whatever falls
in with it will meet admirers amongst readers
of all qualities and conditions. Moliere, as we
are told by Monsieur Boileau, used to read all
his comedies to an old woman, who was his
housekeeper, as she sat with him at her work
by the chimney-corner and could foretell the
success of his play in the theatre from the re-
ception 1t met at his freside; for he tells us
the audience always followed the old woman.
and never failed to laugh in the same place.
Addison.
