PREACHING POLITICS.

Most men dislike to have their poll
tics preached against, & hence become
very sensitive on the subject.
There is a story about an excellent
Presbyterian pastor in New jersey,
some fifty years ago, who alarmed some
sensitive members of his congregation
by preaching what seemed to them a
very pointed and significant sermon "a
gainat French iafdelity. Some of the
elders, having talked the matter over
among themselves, ventured to wait on
him with an expestulstion against the
|imprudcncc of preaching sermon
which had so evidently a political bear
ing. /" What is the matter with the
sermon, friends?" said the pastor, in
reply. :" Why, the sermon was aimed
at Mr.. Jefferson, the President of the
United States" was the answer. "The
world changes" said the pastor, "men
change, parties change, but my old
sermon which | preached years ago, Il
which you then approved and admired,
is not changed. Here it is, with the

THE FATE OF A FIfRT

1t is very rarely, indeed, that con-
firmed firt gets married. Ninety-nine
out of every hundred old maids may
attribute their ancient loneliness to iu-
yenilo lcyity. 1t is very certain that
few men make selection from ball
rooms or any other place of gaiety !;
and as few are influenced by what may
be called showing off in the streets, or
any other allurements of dress. Our
conviction is, ninety-nine hundredths
of all the finery with which women
decorate and load their persons, 90 for
nothing as far as husband cate HING is
concerned. Where and how, then, do
men find their wives? In the quiet
homes of their parents or guardians.
at the fresides where the domestic
graces and feelings are alone demon
strated. These are the charms which
most surely attract the high as well rs
the humble. Against these all the f.
merry and airs in the world sink into
insignificance.
