In Philadelphia the soap boilers gen.
orally send round a raw Irishman to col
lect soap fat from the various kitchens.
He goes along the street crying at the
top of his voice, "Soap fat p when the
servant girl takes out her pan of drip

A short time since lady in Sixth street
employed kitchen maid, freshly i'm

of soap fat had already accumulated, al.

signed to the new girl was to be sure

along, to get the fat
AS soon as her mistress had gone up
stairs, Biddy took q position opposite
tho street door, and upon seeing gen.
tleman of respectable rotundity approach,
accosted him, inviting him to walk in,
az her mistress wanted to see him. The
gentleman was astoniseod at this invi-
tation to a strange house, but neverthe-
less walked in and was directed by tho
girl to take his seat in the parlor, whero
She said he would await the ladies' CON-
mands. She then went to her Mistress,
informing her that there was q fat man
down stairs.
"Well," said the mistress, "give him
the fat"
"But," said the damsel doesn't he
want to see your"
Astonished at this pertinancy on the
part of the dealer Of grease, and still
more astonished that he should have
taken his seat in the parlor, she went
down stairs, when her sstonishment
reached its climax at finding very good
humored, genteel looking gentlemen CO.

the gentlemen stated that he was there
on her invitation, and, with much STAN

Apologies for the awkard mistake OF the
girl followed, which the fat man at once
accepted, and after various explosions OF
laughter at the contretsmps, the gentle
men good hunorediy took his leave.

Political Preaching.
From the Boston Courier.

From the Boston Courier.
Our genial and amiable cotempora ry,
tho Saturday Eecning Gazette, says:
"The fact is, from some cause or 9TH
er, there seems to be falling off among
our people of church service; as compar.
ing the number of our population with
the sestings in our churches, the prepon.
deaance of the former over the latter is
very marked. Some of the clergy are
trying to solve the question, but have
not yet found the remedy"
1t is not remarkable that the clergy
are not competent to solve this question;
a man is not able to see anything which
is on the top of his own head. The fact
is true beyond all controversy, and a
melancholy fact it is, too. Not only in
this city, but throughout this State-and
we fear throughout most most of New
England-the interest in religion, aud
in the observance of religion is declining.
The attendance upon church services is com.
parGt,vsly meagro Practical if not theo-
retical infidelity is spreading like dry
70. through the land. The number OF
men who are living virtually without
God is on the increase. The heathen
virtues of pride, self-esteem, self-reliance,
active courage are rising in estimation,
aud the Christian virtues of meckness,
gentleness, patience, long suffering, are
declining. Among young persons, es
pecially, Of both sexes, there is marked
want of vital and practical Christianity
and prevailing lack of interest in it'
lninistration aud observances. The gen
cral characteristics of young persons arc
impatience Of discipline, resistance tc
authority, fierce assertion Of assumed
rights. To exact obedience is weak
ness. Restraint of all kinds is resented
as a wrong; and unchecked liberty-th'
power to do anything aud everything
that tho natural and unrogenerated hear
prompts without let or hinderaece--i
valued as the highest good of man.
And what is the cause of this unhapp,
state OF things? The clergy of New
England have been offering "strange fir
before the Lord" and the inevitable ret
ribution has followed. And this strang
fire" is the vulgar fire of worldly pas
sions-which wastes and consumes tn
heart on which it feeds. In such hear

The weary, weary days passed on
One morning. the little boy opened h

"Heavcnp No, darling, it is earth ;
but God sent you here to our hearts, and
You shall be loved and cared for. See,
here is little sister, and you will be
very happy with her. Kiss him, Nellie" +"
Her rosy lips touched his pale ones,
and heavenly smile lighted up his face.
The past was not forgotten, but it was
gone. No more mouldy crusts, oaths,
harsh words and blows. No more beg

tamished to envy dog gnawing bone

who never know where their
hearts lay; no more sleeping on door
steps, and listening in terror to the
drnkuen quarrcls OF the vicious and de-

Yes, the past was gone; and in the rosy
future were love, home, even God and
the anges. Certainly some spirit had
guarded that child, aud guided him out of
seeming evil into positive good. Surely
henceforth he wonld put his hand trust
ingly in theirs, aud turn his face heaven

teachable child--a jewel picked from the
mire, a brand snatched from the burn
ing-was yet to illuminate the dark paths
of this world with his holy heaven life
teaching. Like dove he was to goforth
over the waters, aud find the olive branch
with which to garland his glad tidings.
Blessings then, Oh all who hold theirarns

their homes arlls Of refuge Beautiful
stars shall they have in their crowns of

brighter in all the world, and perhaps

4 Clergyman Induces a Burglar to Go to the
War.
Az eminent Presbyterian clergyman Of
Philadelphia, stopping at one of our first class
hotels, was awakened in the night by noise
in his room. Supposing it was caused by a
young friend who shared the room, he called
him by name. Receiving no answer, he rails
ed his head and saw by the faint light of the
moon that his comp Fanion was in bed and that
the noise was caused by figure whose shad-
owy outline he saw in another part Of the
room. Springing from his bed the clerical
gentleman exclaimed: What are you do
ing in my ROOM" Robbing you" prompt
ly and truthfully answered the visitor.
The young man being by this time awaken
ed, and having lighted the gas, our divine pro-
ceeded to examine the capture that he had
made. Placing his hand upOE his shoulder,
and bending on the thlef look that took
the measure Of his sou" he iuterrogated him
concerning the course Of his life, and the
causes that had thus strangely brought them
together After a long conversation, the
clergyman had so charmed the burglar and
and won his affection that he begged to be ia
ken into his service, saying he would be hon
est and follow him to the end Of the earth.
Our friend not desiring to have follower
whose acquaintance had been so strangely
made, and wishing at the same time to give
the culprit chance to reform. promised that he
would rot deliver him to justice if be would
enter the army, and agreed that in the NOM
ing he would make the necessary arrange
ments for his enlistment The tliei left with
the promise that at a certain hour the next
day he would meet the clergyman at the ho-
tel and go with him to the nearest recruiting
station.
Strange as it may appear, the burglar was
prompt at keeping his appointment and ac-
companied his new friend 10 the rendezvous,
was enrolled inspected, mustered in, uniform
cd, and the afternoon left for his regiment
with the army of the Pothmac showering
thanks upon the head of his strangely acqui-
red bene!actor.-N Y World.
