q LOLA MONTEs.-The New York I" Mirror does
up the following
"Lola Monies is beautiful woman, but dan
cling is evidently not her vocation. Either Of the
Roussetts can beat her at pirouette; but as a
woman Of intelligence, beauty, wit and magnetic
power, she probably has no equal, either on the
stage or off,
@In person she is rather slight with very
slender arms, and very delicate but symmetrical
determinations downwards.' Her feet are
about the size Of full grown mice, and her ancles
about as large as baby's wrist. He hair is like
the ravens plumage; her lips like rosebuds; her
teeth like ivory and oh, my stars what eyes!-
large dark, liquid, and yelled by lashes which,
like mist before the sun, prevent them from
dazzling one entirely. She dresses with exquisite
taste, and her first appearance on the stage
seemed like
lovely apparition sent
To be moment sornament'
"Her movements are graceful, her time per-
feet, her smile bewitching; but she was never
made for a mere dancing girl She is lost Peri,
a stray angel, star unsphered, a Cleopatra with
out throne. Another Herodiass daughter, who,
by her witcheries, can compel kings to give her
half their kingdoms, or bring her the heads Of
her enemies in basket"
CLERGYMEN.-There are many kinds of
preachers in the world, and each one has his
admirers and dslikers There are those who
preach slowly, and those who preach rapidly;
some who preach in low tone of voice, and
others there are whose voices are always pitch
ed at the highest octave; some have a great
deal of manner while others have but little or
almost none; some preach from note, others
preach extemporaneously some preach dog
matte theology, others the practical Christian
virtues. There are as many more different
classes of preachers that might be enumerated,
were it worth while to do SO. Everybody picks
and chooses the man whose peculiarities are
most agreeable to him; and in this there GER
tainly is nothing wrong But the difficulty is,
that many are inclined to be too particular.
They want the minister to bend his elbow in
just such a manner; to hold his head just SO
pcrpendicularly to modulate his voice at just
such a cadence to pray just so long or short a
time; to have just so many divisions Of his SER
mons; with other particulars, which, were they
to be mentioned, would fill page. This kind
Of feeling causes vast amount of mischief in
churches, and it frequently happens that
minister is dismissed from his charge for rea-
sons as trivial as certain natural popularity
of manner, too long or too short prayers too
much or too little doctrinal preaching, &C., &c.
This is altogether unjust We say, if minis
ter be man Of Christian life and conversation,
and labor to do his Masters will in all homes
ty, love, and zeal, he should be pardoned for
these slight shortcomings Clergymen are not
exempt from the common frailties of mankind
and if they err, their faults should be looked
npon with reproving, but at the same time,
a charitable eye. Don't be too particular with
your Clergyman, in matters which are not es-
scntial.-New England Farmer. !,
