A FUNERAL SERMoN.--Parson
S-,a rather eccentric character,
was called upon to preach the funeral
of a hard case named Ram, which he
did in the following unique style
,f My beloved Brethren and Sisters
flour departed brother Ram would
have wanted somebody to come here
and tell lies about him, he wouldn't a
choose me to proach his funeral
/ No, my brethren, he wanted to be
held up as shining light, to warn you
from the error of your ways. He
kept horses and he run'd 'cm. Our
dear departed brother had many wars
nin's, brethren. The first warnin'
was when he broke his leg; but he
still went on in the error of his ways.
The second warnin' was when his son
Pete hung himself in the Jail /; and his
last and greatest warnin' Of all was
when he died himself. 'sasS tna ssn4
The preacher enlarged upon these
topics until he sunk Ram down so low
that his hearers began to doubt wheth-
er he would ever succeed in getting
him up again, and, as is usual in 'fu>
neral,' landing him in Abraham's bo-
SOM This was the object of the sec.
ond part of the sermon, which started
off thus; fn
My brethren, there will be great
miracles, great miracles in Heaven
And the first miracle will be, that MAJ
ny you expect there you won't see
there The people that go round with
long faces, maxim long prayers, wont
be here--and the second miracle will
be, that many you don't expect to find
there, as perhaps some won't expect
