TIE SACRED DESK Addison, i'd one Of
his essays published in the Spectator, sug-
gests that clergymen would benefit them
selves and their hearers by frequently read
ing choice selected sermon, instead Of Ell
their own composition. Most clergymen,
during dog-days, might select sermons that
would be better for their congregations than
they can write. If SO, why be afraid TO read
themg It IS said that the hearers can read
them at home. So they may, poorer one,
perhaps, Of the pastor by borrowing it,
Why should the pastor feel any more delica-
cy in presenting selected sermons, a part Of
the time. than the editor select editorials -
Certainly tho suggestion Of Addison, who
was both man Of sense and q Christian, IS
worthy the attention Of those pastors who
are located remote from their brethren, and
cannot often induge themselves with pulpit
exchanges. A minister may deliver the ser.
mon Of another with an the force, junction
and earnestness lie would his own. Let the
custom once be introduced, with reason and
moderation, and it would be beneficial to all
parties. concerned. There are able composers
Of sermons who would often instruct and
benefit their hearers more by delivering the
discoursos Of Barrow, Hall, Claiming, Da-
vies. or Spring, than their own.
AL viii agree, that some such course IS
much preferable to the ono that prevails, tOso
wide en- extent, viz: preaching sermons that
mainly belong to others, and giving their
hearers the impression that they are original.

EsPARrERo.--This distinguished spaniard
is said to be a very intelligent and able man,
and las already done good service to his
country. JJe was the great supporter Of
Christina, against the absolutism Of Don
Carlos. For his great services he was made
Regent Of Spain, which he held for SIX years,
and his administration was marked with wis
dom, and tendency to liberal measures.-
He was expelled by a series Of disgraceful in-
trigues, and retired to England Wilhelm exc
lie he made no effort to disturb the Govern
ment detaet0 Of his country and continu-
ing the same line Of conduct, after his return
to Spain, he never violated the terms Of his
recall" That such man is placed at The
head Of the revolution leads US, says the Bal
timore Anaer5c0n, to hope for the establish
ment Of at least a constitutional government
in Spain, which would certainly be beneficial
not only to that unhappy country but to all
Europe.

ABORT SNAKEs.-A large rattlesnake, be-
headed instantly with hoe, would, an hour
and a half after, strike at anything that
pinched its tail. OF several persons who
were testing their frmness Of nerve by try
ing to hold the hand steady while the serpent
struck at if, not one could be found whose
hand would not rccoil in spite Of his resolu-
ton; one man, a great bully, 10y the bye,
was struck on the naked throat with. consid-
cradle force by the headless trunk OF the SER
pent, and staggered back, tainted and fell
from terror. Mr.. Stewart, Of Mississippi, tells
me he once witnessed a similar aceno. An
old hunter shot rattlesnake's head. of, and
after reloading his gun and standing some
time, he stopped to pull off the rattles, and
the bloody but headless trunk Of the snake
struck him in the temple, and he tainted and
fell.down with terror.
Seven venomous serpents belonging to five
different species, were made to fraternize and
dwell amicably in one den. A beautiful pair
of long bodied speckIed snakes, known a.
king snakes, found to be fanglcss, and conse-
quentIy without venom, were duly installed
as members Of the family. Some uneasiness
was perceivable among the older members
but no attempt was made to destroy The IN
truders though they might have been killed
instanter: The next morning four Of th,
venomous serpents we're found to have beer
destroyed by the king snakes, and one wai
still within their coil, and the two remaining
ones would make no effort at self defence
A large rattlesnake seemed stupid and indif
ferent to his fate. Hecould not be made Il
threaten or give warning even with his rat
ties. The smallest king snake was aftorward
inoculated with the poison of one Of the ser
pents he had destroyed and died immediate
y after-thus evincing that they must hav,
exercised some power besides physical fOrc'
to overcome their fellow-creatures.

LEG srnETcHINo.-Mr Nicholas, late Of
the Brattleborough (vermonD Democrat
says that " the drinks" arc now called leg
stretchers" in that State. She says it is an
everyday occurrence for some passengers in
the stage coaches, while the latter are wait-
ing at the hotels for the mails, to say, Il
guess will get out and stretch my legs"
which .alwaysends in their having a drink
somewhere in the hotel. She adds that it is

Power OF THE daCISATIoN.--Dr. No
bic, in a very able and analytic lecture. at
Manchester, 'sOn the Dynamic Influences Of
IDEAS told good anecdote Of NJ. Bouti-
bouse, French savantssin illustration of the
power Of imagination. As Dr. Noble says: ::
IN. Boutibouse served in Napoleon's army,
and was present at many engagements during
the early part of the last century. at the
battle of Wagram, in 1909, he.was engaged
in the fray; the ranks around had been ter
ribly thinned by shot, and at sunset he was
nearly isolated. While reloading his mnsket
he was shot down by cannon ball.. His
impression was that the ball had passed
through his legs below the knees, separating
them from the thighs; for he suddenly sank
down, shortened, as he believed, to the ex-
tent of about foot in measurement. The
trunk Of the body fell backwards on the
ground, and tile senses were completely par
alyzed by the shock. Thus he lay motion
| less among the wounded and dead during
the rest Of the night, not daring TO move. a
muscle, lest the loss. Of blood should be fa-
tally increased. he felt no pain, but this he
attributed to the stunning effect of the shock
to the brain and nervous system. At early
dawn he was aroused by one of the medical
staff. who came round to help the wounded.
What's the matter with you, my good fell

The surgeon examined the limbs referred to,
and then, giving him . good shake, said; with

ishment, and stood firmly on che legs which

Dickens.


A late London letter to northern paper gives
US the following interesting gossip. 1t gives a
more favorable picture Of Dickens than the ac-
count We recently published:
"Charles Dickens is reported to have returned
to Bculogue--which English colony is exempt
as yet. from the British law of arrest, on what
is called ca. sa. In other words, it is believed
that in a race in which he has latterly pursued
rather reckless course, he has out-run the consta
ble. His furniture, library, pictures plate. &C.
are supposed to be secuTeds by a bill of sale to
some friend, and cannot be touched. He will
remain 'on aconGnental tour (through Boulogne
Sur 9Ier) until his creditors arrange with him -
Now, all this is town talk. Whether true OF
not, 10 thefuIi extent, it is founded on fact
like historical novel or ladys novel ora lady's
hustle. In the nineteen yearsof Dicksnss pop
ular authorship, his receipts must have been i'm
mense. Take them as low as $4,000 a year, (and
they have never been less while l.e has made
E20.0o0in one year, and we have a total Of
Ella. 900 actually received by him. From f258
a year, as reporter on the Morning Chronicle, he
leaped, almost at one spring, to. 10000 year.

Against tie deplorabie and and insane extrav-

ever since he vas able to gain ansincome. The
