An Eccentric Preacher.

Rev. John Hersey, an old and we'll
known Methodist Preacher in Virginia, is
thus described by the Richmond Exami.
ner: f"'
Mr.. Hersey makes deep and lasting
impression wherever he goes. He is pro-
verbally straightforward, disinterested
and guilpless. He will wear no clothes
except such as are indispensable 10 his
comfort, and eat nothing except what is
necessary 10 keep the wheels of life in
motion. He would fast and pray till lit
orally starved 10 death, rather than touch
a morsel of any article Of food cooked on
Sunday. le would rather walk fifty
miles than indulge in the luxury Of q ride
six hundred yards. He would sooner
penetrate the mud knee deep than SET his
foot on a Brussels carpet. He would sit
ona porcupine saddle about as comtorsa-
bly as he would on cushioned chair
In example as well as in precept, he loud
ly condemns the fashions, the IoIlies and
vanitles of this sinful world. He strikes
al them with ten-fold force when found
in tho church, or in persons protesting the
name oil Christ. lie does not believe in
the popular notion, that "a saint in Grape
| is twice q saint in awn.' .a
At the conclusion ofany Of his discour-
ses in our mountains, hs can adopt as his
own, with very slight variations, the Ian.
guase used by the eccentric Lorenzo Dow,
| in sermon delivered al Georgetown moi
long belorehis death: "My humble hear.
ers," said Lorenzo, ~ have preached in
Europe, in Asia, in Atricq, aud in Amer.

can apply TO himself n portion, at least, o
the historical part of this passage. HI

Gen. HOusion.-The Brenham lTeyus)
Enquirer Of the 25th ult. has the annexed an.
nouncemen,: "We learn that number OF
persons were baptized BY immersion on Sun
day last, a, Independence, amons whom was
Gen. Sam Houston" .....- .Iu|
We presume the above statement to be
correct. Mrs. Houston, an intelligent and
excellent lady, has for long time been an
exemplary member Of a Baptist church, and
her husband cons,an. and interested a,ten-
dan, upon public worship in connection with
The same denomination. With increasing
years his personal interest in the subject OF
religion has increased and his manly defence
of the Christina clergy in the Senate OF the
United States, when they were rudely as
sailed, will no, soon be forgotten. We pre-
sume we are not violating confidence in
stating that when separated from Mrs. Hous-
ton by public duties at Washington, Gene.
"a! Houston maintains regular correspond
ence with her upon religious subjects. 1t
wolld be creditable 10 them and to the coun-
Try il other Senators were as well employed.

SELLING DRY GOODS.

People generally think that it is
very easy matter to stand behind coun-
ter and retail dry goods; but weeks
experience in the business would con
vince the cleyerest man that it is much
more difficult aud laborious than the
task Of turning grindstone twelve
hours per diem. Theotiice of salesman
embodes, in its duties, necessity for the
Shire wdness of the politician the per-
suason of love, the politepess of q
Chesterfield, the patience of Job, and
the impudence of q pickpocket. There
are salesmen who make it point never
to lnse customer. One Of the gentle.
men who is in store in Chatham street,
not loug since was called to show e
very fastidious and fashinnable lady,
who dropped in while going to Stew
au's,' some rich silk cl"uking. Every
Article of the kind was exposed to her
view-he whule store was ransacked-
nothing suited. The costly was stig.
malized as trash every thing was com.
mon, aud not fit for lady. She guess
ed she would 60 10 S'cwart's. . ga
The salesman pretended to be indig-
nant. ........,...,..rs. -e...,..,
"Madam," said he, in tone Of in.
| Jared innocence, 1 have a very beau.

which | divided with. Mr.. Stewart, who
is my brother.in-law, but it would be
useless to show it to you; it isthe only
piece in the city," a saiafT f.3fi l5
"Oh, allow me to- see it." she asked,
in un anxious tone. and continued, 81
had no intention of annoying you, orof
disparaging the merits of your wares
The salesman, who was now watched
lin breathless attention by his fellow
clerks, proceeded, as ifwilh muchreluc-
tancc, and with expressions Of fear that
it would be injured by getting tumbled.
to display an ancient piece Of yes,ing,
which had been lying in the store for
FIVE years, and was considered to be un.
saleable. The lady examined and liz
cd it much. That was piece Of goods
that was worthy TO be worn. How
much was it yard?' ' --'-'s'i ''l q
"Twen,y-.wo shillings." ''' U.

"There!" exclaimed he, beginning to
fold it up, Il knew you would say that
stay stay, don't be lin so great a
hurry; I'll give you 90 shillngs."
Madam you insult me again" lao
|-r"Cut me off ~ yardsrand-yourcan
make up the deduction on some velvet
which ! require for trimmings, almost
entreated the fair shopper. .r
The salesman, after much persuasion
sold the lady the vcs,ing, for which
they kad in vain shought five shillings
per yard, at the price above indicated.
The profits of the sale on vesting and
velvet, amounted to s3s out of which
the clerks were permitted to pay for a
supper of oysters. s-,

lis to be told. The lady had her cloak
made, and one or two Of her t'riends,t!e.
lighted with it, bought the rest Of the
vesting at the same price,. gge's
The,e is a moral to this anecdote,
which we leave to be discovered by the
ingenuity Of our lady-rsaders who oc,
casionally go u shopping. .,- r- ,
