Sensation Sermon.

A young divine Of this city, noted for
his earnestness in pitching into the social
abuses of the day, on Sunday morning
treated his congregation to what might
come under the head Of q "sensatiou ser.
mon" The tenor of the subject was the
hypocrisy of the human heart. After
some general observations on this head,
he startled bis hearers with few special
points and illustrations. Referring to the
male portion of the community, be boldly
asserted that "one-ha Of the men of to-
day were fools, and the other half knaves;"
that while protesting friendship, and sha-
king hands with one hand, they would
even throttle you with the other. Turn
ing his attention to the ladies, be repre-
hended the habit Of one class who went to
church for no other purpose than to see
the latest phase Of Fashion. To another
class, he said they went to church and sat
out the service, with "faces as lcng as Old
Abe Lincoln's rails, and then went home
and kept the neighborhood in a fermsnt
for week with their scandal and gossip ~
These are certainly bold allegations, and
we are inclined to think that they are
nearly correct !-Lancaster Erpress.

By JOHN G. SAKE, YANKEE.
1t was in my foreign travel,
At a famous Flemish inn,
That | met q stoutly person,
With q very ruddy skin,
And his hair vas something sandy,
And done in knotty curls,
And was parted in the middle
In the manner of a girls.
lie was clad 10 chequered trowsers,
And bis coat was of sort
To suggest q scanty pattern,
1t was bobbed SO very short;
And his cap was very little,
Such as soldiers often use;
And be wore pair of CATERS,
And extremely heavy shoes.
I addressed the man in English,
And he answered 10 the same,
Though be spoke it in fashion
That | thought little lame;
For the aspirate was missing
Where the letter should have been !;
But where'er it wasn't wanted
He was sure to put it in!
When I spoke with admiration
OF St. Peters mighty dome,
He remarked, "'Tis really nothing
To the sights We ave at 'ome"
And declared upon his honor
Though, of course, twas very queer
H. doubted if the Romans
'Ad the hart Of making beer.
Then he talked Of other countries,
And be said that be had heard
Tha. the Hamericans spoke Hinglish,
But be deemed it quite habsurd
Yet he felt the deepest hinterest
In the missionary work,
And would like to know if Georgia
Was in Boston or New York!
When I left the man 10 CATERS,
He was grumblipg DER his gin
At the charges Of the hostess
OF that famous Flemish inn,
And he looked a very Briton,
$50, methinks l see him still,
As be rocketed the candle
That was mentioned in the bill!

A TOUCHING ANEcDoTE.-Hon. A. H.
Stephens, of Georgia, in recent address
at a meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, fcr
the benefit of the Orphan Asylum aad
Free Schools of that city, related the fol.
lowing anecdote.
"a poor little boy, in cold night in
March, with no home or ro,f to shelte,
his head, no parental or w wa.ernal guardian
or guide to protect him on his way, reach.
ed at nightfall the heuse of rich planter,
who took him in, fed, lodged and sent him
on his way with a blessing. These kind
attentions cheered Ills heart and inspired
him with fresh courage TO battle with the
obstacles of life. Years rolled round
Providence led him on; be had reached
the legal profession; his host had died |; the
cormoran!s who prey on the substance Of
man had formed conspiracy to get from
the widow her estates. She sent for the
nearest counsel to commit her case, and
that counsel proved to be the orphan boy
pears before welcomed and entertained by
her husband. The stimulus of warm
and tenacious gratitude was now added to
the ordinary motives connected with the
profession. He undertook her cause with
will not easily to be resisted; he gained
it; the widows estates were secured to her
In perpetuity; and," Mr.. Stephens added,
with an emphasis of emotion that sent an
electric thrill throughout the house, "tbat
orphan boy stands before you"

SUCKERS IN APPLE ORcHARDs.-The re-
mark is often made, that the suckers of
apple trees made use of IS stacks to graft
in, are apt 10 make suckers. This is true
only so far as those particular trees which
sucker most abundantly are apt to be Sc
lscted from which to obtain the supply,
and ofcourse the new stocks have the same
popularity. Suckers should never be used
for stocks: but if they are, they should be
taken from trees producing the fewest.-
To clear suckers from orchard trees they
should not be cut off, for new shoots will
spring out from every stub left. The right
way is to keep the ground smooth, mel
low and clean; and then about the middle
season Of growth, or during the first half
of summer, put on thick cowhids boots
and stout buckskin mittsns, seize suck
er at time, placing the boot upon it close
to the tree, give a sudden jerk with the
hands, and it will be torn out root and
branch, leaving no stump. An occasionaI
repetition of this process will keep the Or
chard clear. Suckers always give sloy-
emily appearance to an orchard, and should
not be suffe ed to grow. They also favor
the depredations of tho borsr.- Country

The Cook Flying Machine Aban-

Mr.. D. M. Cook, of Mansfield, the irent-
or of capital Sugar Eyaporator for the
manufacte of Sorghum syrup, has for
some time past been engaged indusriously
in constructing flying machine 10 be call
the "Queen of the Air" According to Mr..
C's theory his wonderful "Queen' was to
throw all ballooning an rapid modes of
travel entirely into the shade, as for ia
stance passengers were to breakfast in
Mansfield and sup in San Francisco! The
Mansfield Herald, however, saws that Mr..
c. in connection with an assistant, after
having been engaged in close labor on his
machine for six months past, has for pres
ent abandoned the project, and adds:
He had house built purposely that
their labors might not be interrupted by
the visits Of the idle or the gaze of the
curious. Where everything was so jealously
guarded it may be imagined that the op-
portunities for getting information were
scant. We have, however heard enough
to make US believe that Mr.. C. has conclu-
ded to cease operations of his flying ma
chine, not because he doubts the practics-
bility on navigating the air at will, but on
account of some other matters requiring
bis immediate attention. During his Ia
bors at the air ship, we are further inform
ed, that he accidently struck upon q new
principle in attraction and one, which, if
really correct, will be of much use-

BIZ GEO. w-BUSGAY.
Welcome, blithe red breast, to those bowersi
Thy sunny bosom ardent glow
Seems to dissolve the lingering snow,
And warm to life the sweet wild flowers.
Though bowed to earth the winter long,
The grass hfls up its faded hair,
Like sad widow gray with care,
And listens to thy simple song.
Shy, peeping from the Gothic door,
Time carved within the hollow tree,
The squirrel chattering in glee,
Cracks his last nut and cries encorel
Der brute and bird thy song has sway,
From the broad rivers tangled brim,
In silence the brown beavers swim
To hear thy charming roundelay.
Nations of insects buzz thy praise,
To them thou art like hope returned,
A bird whose breast with love has burned,
Unchilled through all the stormy days,
A man delights to hear thy strain
Oh, come and build thy house near mine,
In tree or bush. or elinging vine,
Where berries blush in fields of grain.
Oh, come and never take thy flight
Thy yellow bill and bosom red,
Thy shady wings and dusky head.
Are ever welcome to my sight.
