"The 0dious Practice of Shouting. ~

AT late Preachers Meeting in PHILADELPHIA.
and after an able discussion of the question
"Does the existence of sects in the Church of
Christ impede the progress of genuine Chris
tianIty ?'-the general sentiment being in the
negatlVe,-the subject turned upon the queer
practice OF shouting. After several gentlemen
had spoken, the venerable James Sewell. in one
OF his most humorous yet dignifed and pointed
speeches, said, he was not alarmed at the ex-
istence Of sects, while Christian love was per-
mltted to hear good old Methodist shoutI-
de said he believed in shouting, he wished we
mad more of it; he had read in an old book of
certain old saint of God, who once felt shout
ing haPPy' and he cried out in his ioy, " Bless
the Lord, 0 my soul !" and then, as though bo
supposed there might be something in him he
sides his soul, exclaimed in addition, sAIl tbo,
is within me bless His Holy Name! The sen.
satlon here was quite lively. Then he said.
must tell you little of my experience about
this shouting. was once Stationed in Viroin;o
over very lively set of Methodists. the mos,
lively congregation think ever had. They
were not ashamed nor afraid to sbout if tbev
felt like it, and many happy time did we have
together. On one occasion | saw Rev D.
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church, very ex-
cellent man, sitting before me while | wa.
preaching. 1t would amused you to see his
surprise, as indicated by his shifting and turn
ing himself about, after the work had fairly
commenced. He looked alarmed as though he
thought the people had lost their senses for GER
tam but the meeting closed in good order, and
many went to their homes happy in God.
A few days afterwards met him in one of
the streets. ala. 0al.. fa.s.s
Good morning, Bro. sewell,' said he, with
very marked politeness.

Light, Spread, Sound, Shed.

Let there be light! Let there be light -
Some who boast of their nations noble race,
And their histry far back thro' tn dim past trace
Are still in dark ethnic night.
Light the Torch of Truth light it everywhere:
Light, light, light! and the haple SIS heather cheer
They are bound in Deaths iron chains;
They commit cruel crimes for Conscience sake.
They bow down to Gods oftheir own hands ma ke
And rear them magnificent fanes.
Spread the seed of Truth! spread it far aud near
Spread, spread, spread! and let hope to all ppear
Some worship trees of their own sod;
Some worship grim beasts and reptiles vile:
Some worship the heavens which in beauty smile.
And forget the true Living God.
Sound the trump ofTruth! sound it loud and clearI
Sound, sound, sound! and let all the nations hear
Oh! wnen the Pow'rs of Darkness cease E.
To hold mankind in Errors moral night,
And Sin no longer breathe its hell-born blight,
But all be life, light, JOY and peace!
Shed ihe light of Truth !-shed it everywhere
Shed. shed. shed and let darkness disappear.

The AMERICAN MERcHANT.-Tbe A.
merican merchant it is type of our rest
less, adventurous, onward-going race and
people. He sends his merchandise all
over the earth stocks every market
makes wants, that he may supply them ;
covers the New Zealander with southern
cotton, woven in northern looms build:
blocks of stores in the Sandwich Islands
swaps with the Fejoe cannibal; sends the
whale ship among the oe5ergs the poles,
or to wander in solitary seas, tells the te-
dious sameness of years, and boys become
men; gives the ice of northern winter
to the toriid zone; piles up Fresh Pond
on the banks of the Hooghly; gladdens
the sunny savannas of the dreamy South;
and makes life tolerabe in the bungalow
OF an Indian jungle. The lakes of Now
England awake to life by the rivers of the
sultry east, and the antpodes of earth
come in contact at this Injecting of the
waters" The white canvas of the Amer
lean ship glances in every nnok of every
ocean. Scarcely has the slightest intima
ton come of some obscure, unknown cor
ner of remote sea, when tho captain is
consulting his charts, in full career for the
terra incognita.

The BEARD AND MoUsTAcHE.-The in
furious action of the stone-dust and foreign
parties of matter upon the lungs of the ma
sons has occasioned fearful ravages among
this class of workmen, who number some-
where about 5000 in the metropolis.
Phthisis occurs, unless proper precautions
are taken, in few years. In the anato-
mical museum of the Edingburgh College
are the lungs of mason, who died at the
age of forty-fve years. The air passages
as shown by the dissection, were literally
blocked up with fine particles Of dust-the
accumulation of many years. The use of
close sheds for the workman conduees to
this evil, and yet it is difficult to persuade
him out of the old established belief that
the closer his doors are the greater is his
comfort. The beard and moustache, as
means Of arresting dust, and preventing
its inhalation, have been productive of
great benefit to masons, and all who are
exposed to similar evils several hundr ed
stonemasons of Edinburgh have adopted
these projections. 1t has been found, in
the treatment of diseased eyes from du st,
&C., with shaven faces, that there is fire.
quently weakness in the organ of vision
from the latter cause. On the growth of
the beard, when the affec ton of the eve is
cured, the weakness disappears, and many
whose eyes were before diseased through
the nature Of their occupation, after OBJ
tanning beard and whiskers, were exempt
from return of eye affections.

Parental ANxrETY-The Paris cor
respondent of the New Orleans Picayune
tells good story Of one of the eminent
architects of the French capital. He
says that as soon as promise of nous
tache began to darken his upper lip, he
fell in love with little seamstress, who
lived hard by his fathers house; and one
day she wrote him, with the inconsider-
ateness Of her sex, letter to beg the
pleasure of his company. The letter fell
into his fathers hands, and he was in
stantly sent for. When be entered the
room, he saw that his father looked sfcrce
as ten furies, terrible as hell" The i'll
starred cpistle was laid before him
"Wretch! would you bring your poor
mothers gray hairs in sorrow to the grave:
If she saw this letter, it would kill her on
the spot" After this explosion a pater-
nal alarm, the future architect placed the
tender letter in his breeches pocket and
forgot all about it. In the course of time,
it became necessary to put buttons on it,
and his mother, with the curiosity of wo-
man, took advantage of her relation as
mother to examine the pockets, and she
read the letter. He was again sent for
Unhappy boy would you see your dear
father die Of a broken hearth If this letter
had fallen into his hands, it would have
killed him."

SUICIDE AT SoSoRA.-On Mon day
last, says the Sonora Herald, the body of
an unknown man, supposed to be French
man, was discovered lying in the road,
near Sevcrance's Mill, about FIVE miles
from Sonora. He was lying on his right
side with a double-barrelled shotgun ly-
ing across the right arm, and q stick in his
left hand, with which, it is supposed, he
pushed the trigger. The shot which
caused his death entered just under the
chin, and passed out at the back of the
head.

BEAuTIFY YOUR HoME.-Every man
should do his best to own home. The
hrst money ne can spare ought to be in
vested in dwelling. where his family can
live permanently. Viewed as a matter of
economy this is important, not only be-
cause he can ordinarily build more cheaply
than he can rent, but because of the expense
caused by frequent change of residence.
A man who early in life builds home for
himself and family, will save some thous-
ards ofdollars in the course of twenty
years, besides avoiding the inconvenience
and trouble of removals. Apart from this,
there is something agreeable to our better
nature in having home that we can call
our own. 1t is a form of property that is
more than property. 1t speaks to the
heart, enlists the sentiments, and ennobles
the possessor. The associations that spring
up around it, as the birthplace of children
AS the scene Of life's holiest emotions
as the sanctuary where the spirit cherishes
its purest thoughts, are such as all value !;
and whenever their influence is exerted,
the moral sensibilites are improved and
exalted. The greater part of our happi-
ness III this world is found at home but
how few recollect that the happiness oft
day is increased by the place where we
were happy on yesterday, and that, insen-
sibly, scenes and circumstances gather up
store of blessedness for the weary hours
of the future On this account we should
do all in our power to make home attrac-
tive. Not only should we cultivate such
tempers as serve to render its intercourse
amiable and affectionate, but we should try
to adorn it with those charms which good
sense and refinement SO easily impart to it..
We say easily, for there are persons who
think that home cannot be beautifed
without considerable outlay of money.
Such people are in error. 1t costs little
to have neat fower-garden, and to sur
round your dwelling with those simple
beauties which delight the eye far more
than expensive objects. If you will let
the sunshine and dew adorn your yard,
they will do more for you than any artist.
Nature delights in beauty. She loves to
brighten the landscape and make it agree
able to the eye. She hangs ivy around
the ruin, and over the stump ofa withered
tree, twines the graceful vine. A thous-
and arts she practices. to animate the SEN
ses and please the mind. Follow her ex-
ample, and do for yourself what she is la
boring to do for you. Beauty is divine
instrumentality. 1t one of Gods chosen
forms of power. We never see creative
energy without something beyond mere
existence, and hence the whole universe is
teacher and inspirer Of beauty. Every
man was born to be an artist, SO far as the
appreciation and enjoyment of beauty are
concerned, and he robs himself of one of
the precious gifts of his being, if he fails to
fulfil this benehcient purpose of his crea-
ton.
