MINISTERIAL COLLISION The Memphis
papers record an instance of ministerial COL
lision which occurred in that city last week,
during the session Of the Southern Baptist
Convention. AS usual, the churches Of
most Of the denominations were supplied by
strangers, and one Of the ministers, who
was assigned to preach in Presbyterian
church, stated at the commencement Of his
discourse that, with his ideas of communion
and fellowship, he could not recognize, as a
brother, the regular pastor Of the church. -
Upon this, the pastor and majority of the
audience left the house, and, before the
close Of the services, the gas was turned off
and the congreg cation left in darkness.

NO.
No home, no friends
No one that lends,
No hopes that fill my heart with pleasure,
No hat, no shoes
No pleasant news,
No earthly thing to call treasure.
No room, no bed
No fine silk spread,
No dressing gown to wrap me up in,
No gloves-no socks
No black silk stocks,
Nothing ike these for me to get in.
No kin-no wife
No love for life,
No telling what will come tomorrow,
No place to stay,
No joy to-day,
No friendly smile TO soothe my sorrow.
No loye-no light
No visions bright,
No thought for me that's gay or funny,
No sleep-no rest
No kind bequest,
And what is worse than all-no money!
