Pulpit Anecdotes.

The Rev. Mr.. Peters, Of Tennessee, was
preaching, and, having large gift OF con.
jinuance, was somewhat protracted in his
discourse. Several of his hearers left in
the midst of the sermon. One young
man was on his way TO the door, when
Mr. Peters pointed his long finger at him,
and said: " Bretheren, that young man
has just as good right to go out as any
one" 1t is needless to say that he was
the last deserter.
At another time, while Mr.. Peters was
preaching, young man started TO leave
the house, and making some noise as he
went, Mr. Peters paused and said
81 will finish my discourse when that
young man gets out"
The fellow very coolly took his seat,
and said: Then it will be some time
before you get through p
The preacher, however, was up to him
and remarking, &" A bad promise is better
broken than kept" went on with his
sermon.
The following is attributed to the cele.
brated Roland Hill:
"rwo strangers passing the church in
which he was preaching, entered, walked
up the aisle, and finding no seat, stood
for while and listened TO the Sermon
Presently they turned to walk out, Be,
fore they reached the door the preacher
said" But l will tell you story"
This arrested the strangers, and they
paused, turned again, and listened.
"Once there was a man." said tn,
speaker "who said that if he had all tn
axes in the world made into one great axe
and all the trees in the world were mad
into ore great tree, and he could wielt
the axe aud cut down the tree, he woul,
make it into one great whip to thrasI
these ungodly men who turn their back
upon the Gospel, and stop to hear a story.
The strangers thought they had hear
enough to satisfy their curiosity, and re
sumed their walk in the street.

THE RAIN UPON THE ROOF,


When the humid shadows gather
over all the starry spheres,
And u melancholy darkness
Gently wCrps in rainy tears,
'Iis joy To press the pillow
Ol u cottagG CHAMBER bed,
And to listen 10 the patiur
OF the soft rain overhead.
Every tinllo on ihs shingles
llas an echo on the heart,
Aud Il thousand lively anCies
Into busy being start;
And thousand rccolections
Weave their bright hucs into wOoi,
As listen to the patlcr
OF the soft rain ON the roof.
There in fancy, comes my mother,
As she used to, years agOne,
To survey the infant sloopcrs,
Ere She lett them ill the dawn.
can see her bending DER me,
AS listen to the strain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the pattcr OF the rain.
Then my little scruph sister,
With her wings and waving hair,
And her brght-eyod chetub brother,
a serene, angelic pair,
Glide around my wakcIul pillow,
With their praise or mild rcproOt,
As listen tn the murmur
OF the soft rain on the roof
There is nnught in arts bruvurns,
That can work with such n SPELL
In the spirits pure, deep fountains,
Whence the holy passions swell,
As that melody of nature,
That sub dued, subduing strain,
Which is played upon the shingles
BY tho paucr OF the rain.
The following beautiful lines. from the pen
Mrs Frances ID Gage, are given as tribute
the above:
Long ago, poet, dreaming,
Weaving iuncy's warp and wool,
Pens tender, soothing poem
On the "Ran upon the roof"
Once | read it. and its beauty
Filled my hoart with nemrics sweet
Days Of childhood fitted round me,
Eiolets sprang beneath my feet;
And my gentle loving mother
Spoke again in accents mild,
Curbing every wayward passion
OF her happy, thoughless child.
Then heard the swallows twlu'rlng
Underneath the cabin caves,
And the laughing shout OF Willie
Up among the maple leaves.
Then blessed the poets dreaming,
Blessed his fancy ys warp and wool
And wGpt DER mcmOry's treasures,
As the rain fell ON the root.
Years ago lost the poem,
But its sweetness fingers still,
As the freshness in the valley
Marks where how'd the spring-,im rill.
Lost to read, but not to feeling;
For the rain-drop never fails
Der nv head with pattering music,
But il peoples mem'rys halls
With the old. familiar faces,
Loved and treasured long ago;
