HAHDsHELL SERMON An English paper
contains the following curious discourse, said
to have been lately delivered by an eccentric
preacher ut Oxford: al am not one of
your fashionable, fne-spoken, meaiy -mouthed
rrc"chers-l tell you the plain truth. You
may guzzlc wine here, but you will want
drop Of water to cool your tongue hereafter
You will be cut down in way you little ex.
pect. Lucifcr will come with his reapers and
his sickles and forks, and you will be cut
down, and bound, and pinched, and housed
in hell! will not oil my lips with lies to
please you! will tell you the plain truth.
Ammon and Mammon Mnoch are making
Bcthoron hot for you! Profane wretche9l I
have heard You .wranglc and brawl, and tell
one another before me, "I'll see you id,
first" But tell you the day will come when
you will pray to Beelzebub to escape his clutch
cs and what will his answer be? "I'll see
you ID tirst!"

YELLOW SEIN-AS the Indies are interested
IN whatever improves nr Injuries the skin, we
rc-prOducc the following spcculaton5 on the

II our Western friends can in any way teach
their wives, daughters or cooks to keen the
pearlaSh out OF their bread, all the yellow peo-
pie, especially the yellow children, who are
SUPPOSED to be turned yellow by the fever and
aenc and billions fcvcrs, will soon lie turned
white. 1t is II great mistake to suppose that
tie yellow cOuntcnanccs of the West come
from bile, when it is only the enormous qnan-
titles Of pcaraSh eaten in the bread that is
reflected through the skin. Bread is the staff
OF life, it is Said-and so it is-bnt il is the
stall OF DEATH too, in this country. Bad bread
kills as many people here as bad rum. 50
many people cat poisonous pcarlash for bread
that they die by inches. Dyspcpsa-that

thus finally kills the human victim-iS half

IhE THREE FIGHTING DEACoNs OF GEArGA.
in small ncighbOrhoDd in Gcauga county
lived three deacons. The first is Methodist,
the second n Presbyterian, and the third a
Baptist. All live quite distance from their
respective meeting houses, aud as the travel
ins is excessively bad ut this time Of year, they
concluded to hold meetings in the little red
schOol.hOuSc in the ncighborhood. The qucs.
ton then arose which denomination should
hold the first meeting. The Methodist claimed
the privilege Of opening. The Presbyterian
demanded it. The Baptist insisted on it, Here
was "a fix"
They wrangled over the matter until the
dander Of each deacon arose to fever heat, and
each vowed he would hold meeting at the
rcd-school house the very next evening, which
happened to be Friday last, and on that even
ing, ut early candc.ight the school.house was
crowded with Mcthodists, Prcsbyterians, and
Baptist>, and several worlds people
l he Presbyterian commenced reading cate
chism. The Baptist at the same time arose
and commenced reading tract on immersion.
The Methodist at the same time struck up an
od-tashion hymn, shouting it forth at the top
Of his lungs. The effect was ludicrous 1t ap-
parenty struck the mixed congregation 50, for
they all commenced laughing. The Baptist
was wheezy. lie sank exhausted into his scat,
while the Presbyterian and Methodist contin
ucd. All at once the ludicrousncss Of the scene
struck the Baptist, and he INDUCED in pro-
tractcd horsc-laugh. This displcased the Pres
bytcrian, and forgetting himself, he dealt the
Baptist stunning blow under the right ear.
The Methodist threw his hymn book down and
rushed to the Bapti>ts rescue. He arrived
Just in time TO receive the Presbyterian 5 iron
fist between his eye.. The Baptist and Meth
odl,t rallied, aud together attacked the Pres.
byterian, but he was too much for them. The
scene that ensucd bcggars description. Chairs
were overturned. Wndow-glass were broken
Women skriekcd. Men yelled We have no
wish for an affair which has caused profound
regret among the religious people Of Gcauga
We merely relate the facts. The matter is in
litigation. - CHcekthd (Ohi0) Plaindealcr.

In cemetery at Dunkrk, stone is erected
over the remains of deceased old lady, on
which her survivors intended to write the stale
cpitaph, "Let her rest in peace" The space
gave out at the word her" so that only the
initial letter Of the remainder could be insert
ed. Thus the dear old lady was commended
to the mould with the somewhat slangy in
scripton, "Lct her ip."

"married man, whose habits are not very reg.

the streets, encountered n lady whose walk
and actions led him to address her. lie was

her his arm to escort her home, which she

GoiHG INTO DEnr.-t'oing Into debt is not
always necessity, by any means. Itis lux
ury with some people They love the excite
mcnt; they relish the piquancy of its embar-
rassmcntS; they indulge in creditors, Just as
others indulge in the opera, parties, ctc.-be-
cause it breaks up the monotony OF everyday
life, and affords them sensation! This NAV
seem odd enough to those who know but little
Of the social world but it is true For the
most inveterate of debtors are often those in
the receipt Of the handsomest annual incomes;
and were their incomes doubled, they would
squander the excess in order to still enjoy the
delicious difficulties which ever bcsct a hu.
man being involved in a multiplicity Of debts !!
1t isn't every man that can afford to 60 in
debt. That is the secret Of the indulgence!

FAULT FINDING.

Henry Ward Beccher knows how to en-.
force practical duty in style which is not
soon forgotten. In recent sermon he hits
with just severity class numerous in every
community:
"The spirit Of passage forbids that we
should make the iailings of other men a
source of amusement to Ourselves-and now
| am coming to it. will admit that there
is a playful, good-humored kind Of badinGge
that is harmless. The apprehension or cx-
position of mans faults in light, genial
spirit, is often the best way of telling him
Of them. l do not therefore say that oil
innocent aillery and good.natured reprehen-
sion is to be disallowed, ltmust DO genuine,
however, producing good and not pain. But
he that makes the mistakes, the foibles, the
faults, the misconceptions Of men-the ten
thousand infelicities of human life-the sub.
jcct matter Of comment, of jest and social
enjoyment, and personal amusement, is sim
ply n barbarian. He is not christian he
does not belong to that category.
Ii is one of those things that are mon
strous in the sight of God. Could you do
il to your children? \ mother may tantal-
ize her child; she may frolic with it; she
may do thousand things with it, causing
it to hover vibrating between tear and a
smile, sometimes on ono side and sometimes
on the other, just for q moment; but she in
stantly presses il TO her bosom, and covers
its face with kisses, 50 that there are no
shades left upon its spirits. And there is
such u thing Us innocent raillery. But to
watch TO see what is awkward in others; to
search out the infrmities Of man to go out
like street-sweeper, or a universal sc,vcn-
ger, to collect the faults and faillngs OF pco-
pie, carry these things about as if they were
cherries or flowers; throw them out OF your bag
or pouch, and make them an evening repast
or noon-day meal, or the amusement OF a
social hour, enlivcned by unieelins criticisms,
hcartless jcsts, and cutting sarcasns to take
a man up as you would chicken, and gnaw
his flesh from lis very bones, and then lay
him down, saying, with fendish cxultation :
There is his skeleton : this is dcvilish You
nav call it by as many pretty names rs you
please, but it is deyilish and you will do
nothing worse than this when YOU 80 to hell,
for you may expect to go there II you have
such disposition, and do not change it.
Talk about cannibalism! Cannibals never
eat man till he is dead. They are nearer
Christ than you are, great deal"
