Dropping into an African meeting house in
the outskirts Of the city we found the sermon
just commenced. The topic seemed to be the
deprayity Of the human heart, and the sable
divine thus illustrated his argument;
" Bredren, when was in Virginny one day
de ole woman's kitchen table got broke, an
was sent into dc woods to cut tree 10 make
leaf for it. So took de axe on de shoulder,
an wonder into de depths Of de forest All
nature was beautiful as lady going to de
wedding. De leaves glistened on de maple
trees like new quarter dollars in the missionary
box, dc sun shone as brilliant, and nature looked
as gay as buck rabbit in parsley garden,
and de little bell round de old sleeps neck
tinkled softly and musically in de distance. /
spied tree suitable for de purpose, and raise
de axe to cut irto de trunk. II was a beauti-
tul tree. De branches reach TO de four corners
ob de earth, and raise up high to de air above,
and de squirrels hop about on de Inns like
little angels Topping their wings in de
kingdom OBJ heaven. Dat treet was full oh
promise, my friends jest like great many oh
you.
Den | cut into de trunk, and de chips hy
like dc mighty scales dropping from Paul's
eyes. Two, three cuts / give dat tree, and
alas it was hollow in de but
Dat tree was much like you, my friends
full ob promise outside, but holer in de but"
The groans from the amen corner of the
room, were truly eontrite and affecting, but we
will venture n small wager that that was the
most practicable sermon preached in the city,
on that day at least.
The Late Lieutenaiit n imnao o, Attn artillery.
The deceased was native of Tennessee. He
graduated from West Point in l849, with not
only full academic honors, but also with every
success calculated to crafty youthful pride
the friendship and applause of his fellows, and
the esteem Of his officers for modest yet sterling
merit.
Since that time large share of his unobtru-
sve life has been spent in Florida and Texas
He continued on duty with pertinacious pride
long after disease had fastened upon his lungs,
and, wherever stationed, he won for himself new
praises. For, with a character of most delicate
and teninine refinement, he bore about him a
sodierly and exalted manliness.
Lieut.. Nimmo was married to young lady
in the vicinity Of Fort Washington, Maryland,
in December, 1852, and only six months after
wards became a widower Now he has rejoined
his beautiful and beloved, through that divine
faith which sustained him here, and which has
doubtless raised him to a seat by her side.
Such the meek and sorrowing, are true heirs Of
the happy kingdom.
We cannot close this inadequate tribute to
one who was pattern Of humanity, without
applying TO his gentle loveliness Of character
the lines of Wordsworth, he has so often quoted
in our hearing:
n "A violet by . mossy stone.
Half hidden from The eye,
Pure star when only one
.tt Is shining in the sky"
