a SAY-NoTHING GRAFTON. This is
not a bad satire upon the speeches of many
would-be orators who excel in talking
much and saying nothing: Esteemed
Fellow-C Citizens: After much reflection,
consideration and examinatian, / have
calmly, deliberately and carefully come to
the determined conclusion that in cities
where the population is very large, there
arc greater number of men, woman and
children than in cities where the popula-
is less. And firmly believe that there
is not man, woman or child in all this
vast assembly that has reached the age Of
fifty or upward, but has felt this mighty
truth rolling through his breast for cen
turies."

The AbOminatiOns of Mems Boards
Shawls and WOmen's Hoops.

A correspondent of the Dayton reli'
gious Telescope, the organ of the United
Brethren Church, is mnch exercised al
the prevalence of some of the fashions ol
the present day. In regard to wearing
the beard, after attempting to refute all
the arguments urged in favor of the tol
cranco of that appendago, he says;
TO my mind, it savors of barbarism
and lack of civilization. To see minis
ters of the gospel Sit in time Of worship
and tug and pull at their boards like a
Yankee maid milking goat, is perfectly
ridiculous, and incompatible with thoir
calling.
Shawl wearing is thus disposed Of:
The same evil occurs in ministers Of
the gospel wearing shawls; aud the reader
will suffer me to remind him that these
vulgar fashions, as general thing, take
their origin in and about houses of ill
fame. Hence the black-leg wears shawl,
next comes the merchant, (for it is to his
interest to sell them Next comes the
lawyer and the doctor, and last, the min.
lister comes pacing up in the rear, crying,
bark! gentlemen, of the shawl tribe, be
yc not coformed to the world but rather
reprove the world; ], therefore, admonish
you under the penalty of my calling, that
you come out from the world, and be sepa-
rate that he partake not of her plaques.
When 10 the cry comes back like an ay-
alanche: Physician heal thysolf, the
power of reproof falls to tho ground, and
the poor, word.contormed preacher be,
comes a mere cypher in the Christian
church.
Expanded skirts, however are the
main object Of the writer's abhoronoe,
He goes on to say;
The like disastrous effect Is produced
/ in the church, where minister's wives and
their daughters are found in the va! gar
fashion of wearing hoops in common with
many others, both in the church and in
the world In my late travels | found Il
large class of professors laboriug under q
very serious difficulty, growing out Ofthis
matter. The minister who had laborcd
for them was very prominent man, and
one who had faithfully preached against
pride in all its forms, yet, after all, suffered
his own daughters to indulge in wearing
hoops; and, on being told it was offensive
to many of the members in the church, he
still failed to rule his family, and the
result was, they withheld part of his
salary, thereby producing u breach that
may possible never be closed up. This,
and other cases of q simalar character,
induces me to write this article. cannot
see how ministers, and especially ordained
minister's can suffer such things in their
families, when their ordination was OBJ
tanned, in part, upon the following declara,
ton of the apostle; Zone that ru !eth well
his own house, having his children in
subsection with all gravity for if man
know not how to rule his own house, how
shall he take charge of the church Of
God2') And why should not their not
having their families in subjection to the
gospel of Christ now cause the world to
look upon them as being unworthy ofthat
Office? And | would not shed many tears
to have general conference mako the rule
work both Yays.

\ DRUNKEN DIALOGUE ABOUT RAIN
Two drunken fellows were walking along
in the rain. The drunker of the tive
asked:
"Dick (hic) does er rain?'
''In corse it rains, said Dick.
The answer was apparently satlsfae-
tory, and they proceeded several rods
further, when the question was again
propounded by tho anxious searcher after
truth under difficulties:
'Dick, ! say D (hic), toll me, docs-er
rain?"
Johnny" said Dick, solemnly, 'Tm
afraid yer drunk; in corsc its rainin',
In q few minutes Johnny was again
troubled with doubts, and sought to solve
them.
'Dick, seems'er me (hic) ser-going (hic)
er-rain( (hiC)"
Dick, exasperatod- Johnny, yer fool
Don't yer see its rainin'. Can't yer tell

rain flood from the Mountain riyen,
1t leaps in thunder forth to-day;
Before Its rush the crags are driven,
The oaks uprooted whirl'd away!
AMed-yet in awe all wildly gladd ming,
The startled wanderer halts below;
He hears the rock born waters madd ming,
Nor wits the source from whence they go
So from their high, mysterious Founts, along,
stream on the silenced world the Waves OF Song!
Knit with the threads of life, forever,
by those dread Powers that weave the wool
Whose art the singers spell can sever7
Whose breast has mail to music proof
Lo, to the Bard, wand Jf wonder
The herald of the Gods has given;
lie sinks the soul the death real under,
Or lifts it bTeathless up to heaven
Half sport half earned, rocking its devotion
Upon the tiemulous ladder of emotion.
Even as a child that after pining
For the sweet absent mother-hears
Her voice and round her neck entwinins
Young arms, ven Is all his soul fn tears
So, by harsh Custom far estranged,
Along the glad and gueless track,
10 childhoods happy home unchanged,
The swift song wsfts the wanderer back
snatchd from the cold and formal world and presso
BY the Great Mother to her glowing breast!

PRIa PEoPLE.There is set Of
people whom | cannot bear--the pinks
Of fashionable propriety--whose every
movement is uuexceptionable; but who,
though welI-versed in all the catalogues
Of polite polite behavior, have not a
particle of soul or eordiality about them.
We allow that their manners may be
abundantly corrct. There may be
elegance in every position, not q smile
out Of place, and not step that would
not bear the measurement Of the sever
est scrutiny. This is all very fine; but
what | wants the gayety Of social in
tercourse; the frankness that speaks af-
fabiiity to all, thatehases timidity from
every bosom, and tells every man in
the company to be confident aud hap
py. This is what I conceive to be the
virture Of the text and not the sickening
formality of those walk by rule, and
would reduce the whole Of the human
life to wire-bound system of misery
and constraint.--Dy. Chambers

MY Wild GUITAR.

O.! wilt thou leave thy fathers halls,
To wander forth with me,
And quit thy lov'd, thy cherish'd walls,
Where thou werst blest aud free
To seek awhile the quiet stream,
Arrayed by evenings star;
And listen as in fancy's dream,
Unto my wild guitar !?
l cannot beast of wealth or power
These dwell from love apart
But if thoul't share my simple bower,
I'll give thee my heart;
And when the evening shades appear
I'll roam beneath her star,
And sing the song thou loved to hear
Unto my wild guitar.
