Mr.. Jays First Sermon.

Mr.. Jay was always noted for peculiar
aptness i'll preaching, which gave "a freshness
and piquancy to his sermons. His texts
were chosen with singular skill, and the SER
mon never failed to unfold and enforce the
the text. The following incident from pub
llshed volume is probably authentic, but We
have heard it told differently. In our ver-
sion. he was sent with a letter to II, ighbor-
ing minister, and as this minister was going
to another church for the Sabbath. MIR. Jay
was obliged to supply his pulpit. He Was
ignorant Of the design Of Mr. Winter in .en-
a.ng him, but Was not the man to finch III
an emergency, and preached all admirable
sermon from the ,ex,, but the lad knew not
an!,hing.' -.

health, 10 comply with an engagement ~

so prevent all those cruel thefts which are 40

ing with US which could rightly be comment
ed on with more severity than the cruel
heartlessness which is displayed among us
when fires occur in the night, and furniture
and household goods have to be brought out
into the oren air, to become the booty of the
wretches who prowl around to take advan-
tage of circumstances which should only a.
waken sympathy and pity.
A fire here is very soon extinguished. The
arrangements are SO perfect that man may
quietly lie in his bed in the adjoining house,
ard only rise if he finds the x>Ils growing
uncomfortably hot around him. Then he
may quietly dress and leave. for there will be
no rush and no confusion. Cores

A Fifth Avenue Lady Buying Books.
A correspondent of the Newport News tells

A correspondent of the Newport News tells
the following:
A certain New York lady, whom l shall
call Mrs. ". recently had the good luck to
come in to the possession OF handsome Tor
tune. No sooner had this agreeable change
in her condition been effected than she pre-
vailed on her husband to abandon his calling
as purveyor in provisions and tish and pur-
chase a residence in Fifth Avenue. In due
time her house was furnished in style and
mayniicence which We'd with the "very best. y
Keeping her eyes open for every new i'm
provement she recently discovered that 'lt
was about the right thing to have books, and
DESTROYS of being up with the fashion at once
ordered an elegant rosewood bookcase and
started out to purchase the material where
with it was to BE- filled.
Provided with diagram illustrating the
dimensions of the library-the length, breadth
and height of the shelves. and SO on-she
Called upon one of the largest publishers and
handing an aslonished clerk the measure,
told him that she "wanted the pootiest books
he'd got-them with red backs and to be
sure and make them all fit the lbrarium.
With this the lady moved away as maj jesti-
cally as full blown turkey-cock under full
sail. In due time the books went, but such
was the novelty of the order that i'll exerci-
sing his taste, the clerk had selected some a
little too long, Others too short, some bound
in Russia, some in Turkey. some in calf,
while the colors of the collection were as va
riegated as the hues Of the rainbow. This
didn't suit, and day or two brought the
whole batch back. Mrs. Y. followed close up
on them looking as stiff as if she had been
poured into gorgeous clothes like candle,
in state of liquefaction and had then been
"set."
Il sent yer books back said she. "because

orous rap at the door, and on its being open
ed, informed the female servant that wish
ed to see the gentleman Of the house. The
domestic asked me what l wanted of her
master at so late an hour. My reply was
that Mr.. Winter had sent me in his place to
supply the chapel on the Sunday, and desir-
ed me personally to see her master on the
subject. The servant, after bidding me to
20 into the kitchen, said she would deliver
my message, which she did with smile on
her countenance, telling her master that Mr..
Winter had sent It farmers boy, with hob
nail shoes and worsted stockings to preach
in his stead. Upon the gentleman farmer
making his appearance in the kitchen, he, al
ter e, eing me from head TO foot, said:
$50, my young friend. Mr.. Winter has
sent you to preach here; is it 500"
"Yes, Sill" was my reply. The gentleman,
without entering into further conversation
with me, said in low tone of voice to his
servant,
who will Winter send here next?" and
then after bidding the servant give me some
supper, and get bed ready for me in the
top room of the house, abruptly took his de-
parture.
The next morning, whilst was on the
road on foot to the chapel to perfoJm my du'
ties there, a carriage passed by me. contain
ing the rich farmer and his lady, who, al,ho
they saw, would not recognize me. This
slight did not much disccmpose me, for my
mind was intent upon the preparation OF q
discourse, from text which had occurred t.
me whilst in bed, as being appropriate to the
circumstances of my reception, my appear
ance as to dress, and my youth. The text
was from the sixth chapter of John, ninth
verse, There is a lad here who hath five bar
ley loaves and two small fishes" In the
course of my extemporaneous discourse
which soon rivetted the deep attention Of the
rural audi. nee, exclaimed
did God despise the lad who supplied tht
Son Of Man with food for the great multi

ed Eli? Yes. Why, then, despise Iad?'
When retired to the ves,ry, the wealth,
farmer, who was there waiting for me, shool
me heartily by the hand, thanked mt in III,
most tattering terms for what he was pleas
ed to style my excellen, discourse, and mad,

Mary of the Glen.
CHARLES G, EASTMAN,

Has anybody spoke for you,
Mary Of the Glen
Is there heart that's broke for you,
Mary Of the Glen:
l have lands and have leases,
have gold and cattle. too;
have sheep with finest heeces-
Can l marry you:
Nobody, sir, has spoke for me,
Mary Of the Glen;
There is no heart that's broke for me.
Mary Of the Glen;
But there is blue-eyed Willie.
Who labors with the men,
Who brings the sweet pond-lily
TO Mary Of the Glen
He has neither lands nor leases,
But his cheek i, cherry red,
And finer than your tieeces
Are the curls upon his head;
And though he's never spoke for me,
know he loves me true,
And his heart would BE- broke for me,
If should marry YOU.
