One Of the old divines said .-.s He
that sleeps in time of worship is no
better for the time than corpse, at
whose funeral the minister is preach
ing" And another worthy remarks,
~" That sleepers in religious assem-.
blages are public nuisances, and ought
to be driven out from the place they
SO much disgrace"
Several centuries ago, old Bishop
Aylmer, seeing his congregation pretty
generally asleep, look his Hebrew BIZ
bic from his pocket, and read chap
ter, which aroused attention, when the
old minister sharply rebuked them for
sleeping when they might have under
stood him, and listening phen they
knew not word be said.
A clergyman, at Exeter, in Eng
land, Nicoll, once saw several alder
men asleep, and the movement among
the hearers woke the worshipful ma.
gistrates, and they stood up. The
clergyman then rose and said, "The
sermon is not yet finished, and now
you are awake, I hope you will harken
more diligently"
Many years ago, an eccentric Bap-
tist minister cried out in sleeping
congregation, particularly addressing
one of the members; Brother Tho.
mas Smith, if you don't wake up, l
shall call you out BY name"
Andrew Fuller, one Sabbath after
noon, saw the people, during the sing
ing Of the hymn before sermon COM
posing themselves for comfortable
nap; and, taking the Bible, be beat
it against the side Of the pulpit, making
a great noise. Attention being excit-
ed, he said, / am often afraid that /
preach you to sleep; but Il can'f Be
raV fault today a.

says the Rochester Union, who have
never visited the flour mills Of this
city, to know something Of the extent
oftheir operationsat this season Of the
year. There are ninety two runs Of
stones in motion here, all engaged il

ture daily seven thousand barrels Of

thousand bushels Of wheat, the total

Rum AND ms VicgIMs An eminent
physician calculates that the ayeraas
number Of deaths by intemperance ior
several years, has been one to every
three hundred and twenty-nine irihab-
itants. which would make in Gle Uni
ted States, 10000 ii a year. What
then are licensed liQuor-sellers, but
licensed butchers By the wholesale ?
If the business is good and lawful It
should be open to all. II should be
open to all, as isthe traffic ID meal and
-four. Ifit is bad It should be grant
ed to none. No man, OF set Of men,
should have monopoly Of doing evil.
One man can take no better care Of the
liquor trade than another Be it in
whose hands it may, the liquor is the
same and does equally its work Of
death. The whole Of society should
combine against it,
