Political Sermons.

Some years since, substantial farmer,
who was Fodcralist, had q laborer who
was violent Democrat. The farmer,
who attended church himself, tried hard
to prevail upon his laboror TO do the same.
But in vain. Hc persisted Ia spending his
Sabbaths at home. On being asked why
he was so opposed to going to church his
answer was. Because the parson Is forever
preaching politics."
The farmer thinking that the argument
would DO overcome, II he could only get
bis laborer to hear his minister, hired him
certain Sabbath morning to go. On re-
turning homo the laborer said
"Thcrc, 1t was just as told You 1t wo'd
bc; all politics from beginning to end"
mo" said the farmer, mot so, there
was nota word Of politics In tho whole dis
coursc.n
"Yes,p said tho laborer, "therc was; tho
text was politics."
"Why. what was III" said tho farmer.
"This," said tho laborer, "lf the Fedcr-
allsts scarcely DO saved, where shall tho
cursed Democrats appear?"
"No, 1t was not" was the reply. ION
the contrary, 1t was--"If the righteous
scarcely DO saved, where shall the ungodly
appear?'
II know IT," was tho answer "but darn
him, I k,sew ichat he meant"

We may quote the sentiment Of true
philosopher: On my FIRST introduction to
Colcridge," says a writer who has collect
cd memorials Of that great man, "ho re-
verted with strong compunction 10 SEN
timent which ho had expressed In early
days upon prayer. In enc Of his youth
ful poems, speaking Of God, he had said;
"of whose all-sceing eye,
Aught OF demand were impotence OF mind"
This sentiment he now so utterly con.
demnod, that, on tho contrary. ho told mo
as his own peculiar opinion, that tho act Of
praying was the very highest energy Of
which the human heart was capable; pray
Ing, that Is, with tho whole concentration
Of all Of tho faculties; and the
great mass Of worldly men, and Of learned
men, no pronounced absolutely incapable
Of prayer.
"Mr. Coleridgc, within two years Of his
death, very solemnly declared to mo his
conviction on the same subject. Twas sit
ting by his bedside one afternoon, and he
fell into long account Of many passages
of his past life, lamenting some things,
condemning Others, &c. Neither do !
reckon said he, the most solemn faith in
God as real object to bo the most arduous
act Of the reason and will; Oh, no, my dear
sir, 1. Is topray, sopreD as God would
have US; this Is what at timos makes me
turn cold to the soul. Believe me, to pray
with all your heart and strength, with tho
reason and the will, to belve vividly that
God will listen to your voice. through
Christ, and verify do the thing ho pleascth
thcreupon, this Is tho last, the greatest
achicvment Of the Christians warfare on
earth. Teach us TO pray, Oh Lord! And
thon he burst into q food Of tears, and
begged me 10 pray for him.

OF Brilliant thoughts are often slow In
their formation, like the diamond. Thom-
as Moore was frequently three week In wrl-
ting a song. Theodore Hook often took
about tho same to execute an "impromp-
tu;v and Sheridan was frequently all day
in getting up joke, which was supposed
by some to bo tho inspiration Of the mo-
ment.
OF An Alabama editor says Of late

in the next minute says "shc would not

but foolishly. It Is a very bad habit Ia
use such expressions. Yesterday, when
you came home from school, you said you
were almost frightened out of your life
