Preaching a Practical Sermon

A number Of years ago, Parsm B.
preached in town in the interior of this State.
A sound theolOgian was ParsOn B., as
published volume of his Sermons evinces; but
like many clergymen Of the past generation,
he was too much given to preaching 'dOctrinal
sermons, to the exclusion Of practical themes:
at least so thought one Of his parishiCners,
Mr.. c.
'Mr. B. said he, one day, to the
clergyman, I'VE know all about the doctrines
by this time. Why don't you sometimes
preach us a real practical discourse!
'Oh, very well. If you wish it, will do
SO. Next Sunday will preach practical
sermon
Sunday morning came; and an unusually
large audience, attracted by the report Of the
promised novelty, were in attendance. The
preliminary services were performed, and the
ParsOn announced his text. After opening
his subject he said he should make pfacti-
cal application to his heareraT He then COM
menced at the head of the aisle, calling each
member Of the congregation by name, and
pointing out his special faults. One was a lit
tie inclined to indulge in creature comforts;
another was terrible man at bargain, and
SO on.
While in mid vOlley, the door Of the church
opened, and Doctor s. entered.
There went on the Porson, there is Doc
tor s., coming in, in the middle Of the
service, just as usual, and disturbing the
whole congregation. He does it Just to make
people believe that he has SO large a practise
that he can't get time to come to church in
season, but it isn't so-he hasn't been called
to visit patient on Sunday morning for three
months
Thus went on the worthy clergyman. At
last came to Mr.. C, who had requeg-
ted practical sermon.
And now,' said he, there's Mr.. c.:
he's merchant, and what does he dol Why,
he stays at home on Sunday afternoon, and
writes business letters. If he gets lot Of
goods up from New York on Saturday night,
he goes to his store, and marks them on Sun
day, so as to have them all ready for sale ON
Monday morning. That's how he keeps the
Sabbath; and he isn't satisfied with dOctrinal
sermons he wants practical ones
At the conclusion Of the service, the FarsOn
walked up to Mr.. c., and asked him
how he liked the practical Sermon
'Mr. B. was the reply, preach just
fto- IL
to direct you again.

Anecdote of the late Judge Livermore.

The Judge is represented to us as having
been of somewhat nervous temperament, and
easily irritated by any unwonted noise or bus
tie in the courtroom, although nothing could
entirely overcome his natural disposition to
make humorous remarks. AS an evidence Of
this susceptibility, the following anecdotes
may bear repetition.
Upon one occasion, while holding court
in this town, the Sheriff, oppressed by the heat
Of the day, and perhaps something else, fell
asleep. For some time an uninterrupted shuffi-
ing Of uneasy feet and quzzing Of low voices
pervaded the courtroom. At length Judge
Livermore very gently exclaimed, Gentlemen.
| wish you would try and be as quiet as pos.
sible, SO that the Sheriff may not be disturbed
in his nap' That Sheriff was never caught
mapping afterwards.
Again: While the Hon. Geo. Sullivan was
upon another occasion engaged in arguing
important case, the rush of the crowd anxious
to listen to the eloquence of Mr.. Sullivan was
SO great as to produce no little distraction of
the attention Of court and jury. Judge Liver
mores patience at last became exhausted, and
he cried out, Stop, stop, Mr.. Sullivan: and
let the business Of the court stop! Now let
every man in this room who has not been in
the State Prison, sit down. Such stampedeN
for seats as followed this ebullition, has preba-
bly, never been since in the courts Of this coun->
try.
At another, time, gentleman with boots Of
an excruciating squeak, was passing through
the courtroom, when the Judges sensitive
nerves, after hearing some dozen ringing
squeaks, gave way. There, said the Judge,
I'VE might as well wait until we are spared the
performance of that band of music The re-
buked performer skunk into seat, and was
finally seen stealing out Of the court house,
boots in hama. .--Ereter Ne,US Letter.

Melancholy Suicide.-Yesterday morning an
abandoned woman known as Mary P. Smith,
eomitted suicide by Smoothing herself in the
heart, in a back room in the second story of the
block adjoining the Post Office on Cedar street.
An inquest was held, and verdict rendered
in accordance with the above facts.
Some of the particulars of this unfortunate
woman'S history are of a peculiarly melancholy
nature. We learn that she received, in one of
the best female schools in this State, located in
neighboring town, finished education and
at the age which young ladies generally leave,
the seminary, was an accomplished. hadsome,
and interesting girl. But in an evil hour, she
departed from the path Of virtue, and became
dlShonered. About eighteen months since she
came TO Nashville and has ever since been an
inmate Of one Of the numerous houses of i'll
lame which infest the city. Yesterday morn
ing, awakened at about daylight by her para
mour, she arose, and with the remark that she
presumed he had become tired of hershe open
ed drawer, from which she took loaded pis-
toly and deliberately shot herself We learn
that she was only about nineteen wears of age

The Hog Market.-The contracts during the
past week, so far as heard of, comprised 10000

for November delivery, at So per lO0lbs net,
with the exception of 5000 head deliverable
from December 10th though the season, in reg
ular instruments, at S., $4:87, S4:62 and $3.50,
averaging $4:75. The contracts for November
delivery reach about 10000 head. There is a
growing impression that the crops will not be
so large as was anticipated. Our own convic-
tons have been contrary to this opinion; end
every thing that has transpired lately, including
the frmness of the market now, and the COM
paratively high prices current has STRENGTHENED
our views on this point.-[Cin. Price-Current.
