HABITS IN THE PULPIr.-A correspondent Of
the Christian Reflector is holding up a few pic
lures, true TO life, for the notice OF suoh of his
clerical friends as may have need of them,
hoping the reflection will do no harm. He says:
notice in some cases n handkerchief habit
in the pulpit, which has led me to inquire if the
use Of that very necessary article is a part of
theological training. notice some ministers
take it out Of their pockets, as they do their
sermon, and lay it on the pulpit. Some spread
1t out lengthwise through the middle of the
Bible; some roll it up, and tuck il under the
Bible; some shake it every few moments over
their heads; some clench it in their hand, as if
they were going to throw it Mt the audience;
and some keep crowding it into their pockets,
and pulling il out again, with nervous move
ment, as if they did not know what other use to
make Of their hands. 1 went once to hear a
popular young preacher, and as much as half
Of his sermon was made up of pocket handker-
chief; and the most of the other half was gold
watch and scraps Of poetry.

Rushing round the corners,
Chasing every rlend,

Nothing there to lend
PIteously begging
OF every man you meet.
Bless me this II pleasant,
"shinIns" on the street.
Merchants very short,
Running neck and neck,
Want TO keep a'guing-
Pray ng for check;
Dabblers In stocks. f-
Blue as blue can be,
Evidently wishing
They were fancy free" -
All our splendid railroads
Got such dreadful knocks " ...f
Twenty thousand Bulls
Couldn't raise their stocks;
Many OF the Bears,
In the trouble sharing,
Now begin TO feel
They We been overBearing.
Risky spectators
Tumblng with the shock,
Never mind stopping
More than any clock;
still they give big dinners, H..
smoke and drink and sup,
Gong all the better
For winding up.

Willing TO pay double
Find they can borrow
Nothing now but trouble.
Half our w. en- OF business
Wanting an extension,
While nearly all the others
Contemplate suspension;
Many of them. though.
Don't appear To dread 1T;
Every cent they owe
Is SO much to their credit.
Brokers are all breaking.
Credit all Is cracked,
Woman all ex panding
As the Banks contract.
Panic still Increasing
Where will the trouble end,
While all hands want to borrow,
And nobody can lend,
Running round the corners,
Trying every source;
Asking at the Banks
Nothing there, Of course,
Money getting tighter,
Misery comp, etc
Bless me this Is pleasant
