The ATLANTIC MoNruLY-Never flags

good friend "The Professor" that we know
'K1sie" just as well as he does-that every
reader Of the Atlantic il as familiar with
her peculiarities, as if they had every one
gone to school with her, and recited in
the same class. We, at least, do not hold
her amenable to the same law which would
apply to"Ellen Darby" or to any body.
else; and he need not keep on pleading
her cause, by describing her again and
again. Why, he had fully won his clients
cause in the first dozen sentences utterd in
her behalf; and he may safely let the case

A SERMoN.-Rev. A. J. Nelson propo-

Amusements," in which We expect to see
our sentiments on dancing handled With

tor us to give even a synopsis Of his dis
course, We trust there will be full atten-
dance, that those who have read or may

be; and it will do our people good to rea-
son, reflect and decide on any question Of
law or logic. So, be sure to turn out and
hear Mr.. Nelson. He will be sure to tell
you something that will be for your good
to hear; and if he convinces US Of the err
ror Of our ways, you will be able to judge
of the arguments which may lead US to a
