A Short Sermon by the Hard Shell
Baptist Preacher.


baptist Preacher.
"There's nine men standing at the
door, and theyan sed they'd take sugar
in therein"
Sich, friends and brethring, was the
talk, in a worldly sens, wonst common
in this our ainshunt land; but the dais
is gone by, and the same run dry, and
no man can say to his nabor, hoo art
thou, and will you take any more shu-
gar in yOOr kaughfey.
But the words of our text has a diff
ferent and more pertickelerer meenin
than this. Thar they stood at the door
on cold winters morning, two Bap-
tiss, and two LMethdiss, and two United
Brethering, and three ,Lutharians, all
good Templar fellers, and the, tOther
one was publikin. And they all with
one vols sed they wouldn't dirty their
feet in dram shop, but if the publikin
would go and git the drinks they'd pay
every man sed, I'M take mine with
shugar-for Eiti won't feel good to
drink the stuff without sweet
enin.n So the publilkln he marched in
and the bRrkeeper said, "What want
yeW and he answered and sed: "a
drink" How will ye have it 7''1"Plane
and strate," says ne, "for it amt no use
fortis." But there's nine more a stand
ing ct the door, aud they all sed they'd
take shugar in therein.
But friends and brethering, thar's a
time coufin and a place Akin, whar
thar'll be no ''standin at the door" to
call for "shugar in therein" But they'll
have to go rite in and take the drink
square up to the front; and the bar
keeper'n be old Satun and nobody else;
and he'll give EN- ''shugar in therein"
you'd better believe it, and it'll be shu-
gar NV led, and red hot led at that, as
sure as your names conshunts dodger.
And you'll be entitled to your rashuns
three times a day, If not more frequent
lier, and if you don't like it you'll have
to lump it, and so may the old Nick
close down upon all your silk palaverip;
around the plane old poole of brotherly
luv, and ginirosity, and feHer feelin,
and fare playl Amen.

THE FEMALE TREASURY CLRRKs.-A
Washington correspondent says the
Secretary of the Treasury is seriously
considering the expediency of discharg-
ing all the women employed in his de-
partment. The measure isl urged on
the ground that many of the female
clerks are inefficient, but none can be
discharged separately, for fear of the
clamor of the influential friends who
have secured the appointments; and
that the Secretary and his assistants are
besieged beyond endurance and a great
deal Of their time taken up by multi
tudes of applicants for places which it
is not in their power to bestow. It is
thought that nothing but the wholesale
banishment of women from the Treas-
ury can stop these annoying fmporth-
mites. How it happens that these en-
barrassments are felt more seriously in
dealing with female clerks than with
males, Is not stated. eel

TWO LITTLE PAIRS OF BOOTS,

Two little pairs Of boots tonight.
Two little pains of tired feet
In trundle-bed are lying:
Ihe track they leave upon the floor
Makes me feel much like signing.
These little boots with copper toes,
They run the lIVelOng day,
And oftimes 1 almost wish
That they were miles away;
80 tired am to hear SO oft
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the new ploughed ground,
Where mud in plenty lies,
They roll 1t npin marbles round
Anu bake II into pies; ss
And then at night upon the floor
In every shape II dries.
To-day was disposed to scold;
But when look to night
AT those little boots before the fre
Win those copper toes SO bright,
mink how sad my heart would be
10 put them out OF sight.
For in trunk up stairs I've laid
TWO socks OF white and blue;
II called to put those boots away,
OGodI what should do?
mourn that they are not tonight
Ihree pairs Instead of two.
1mourn because I thought how nice
MY nelghbor "crOSs the way"
Could keep her carpets ali the year
From getting worn and gray;
Yet well know she'd smile TO own
Some little boys to-day!
We mothers, weary get and worn,
Over our load OF care;
But how we speak OF those little ones
Let each of us beware;
For what would our ireSIdeS be tonight
II no little boots were there2

A RAILWAY TRAIN SEIZED FOR DERr
"A railway company in Wales, with a
line running from Llanymynech to
Shrewsbury, has for some time past
struggled against serious financial diff
iculties, which came to a crisis about
three weeks ago in singular fashion.
A debenture holder obtained a judg-
ment against the company, and writ
was issued which the sheriff's officers
served by seizing the principal station
in Shrewsbury, and the engine and cars
about to depart from it. The law ON
cials refused to allow the train to start,
although many passengers had bought
tickets and taken their seats. At last
the sheriff was induced to permit this
train to start, one OF his deputies re-
naming on board in charge; but up to
our latest dates he had refused to make
any concessions in regard to the other
trains, and the public, both at Shrews-
bury and the various way stations along
the line, were exceedingly indignant
and quite at loss.

PROFESSOR SENMEs Qate Captain
SOmmes of the Alabnma,) lectured on
the 5th instant in Galveston, Texas,
taking the name of his vessel as the
text OF his discourse, and endeavoring
to show that she was neither pirate
nor privateer. The lecturer was in
troduced as the distinguished hero
"and patriot, Raphael semmes,''-and
we read in the report that "whatever
"of wealth, intelligence, beauty and
IS fashion pertains to this city and its
neighbor, Houston," !" was fairly repre-
sented in the audience. We do not think
it worth while to give much ofthe pro-
fessor's lecture. He said in conclu-
sion:-
"The Alabama was not a new con
struction, save that she was steam
vessel. DR.. Franklin and his compeers
constructed and manned good many
Alabamas in their day. What our
sires did their sons may do. In other
generations the history of the North
will be the history of the South. By
the philosophy of history am willing
to be judged. If the philosophy of his
tory embalms the struggles Of the col
onial States, SO Will it embalm the
struggles of the confederate States. II
it records approvingly the exploits of
the Surprise and the Revenge, SO will
it record the exploits of the Alabama" 4"
II the highest aspirations of Profess
sor Semmes is to be "embalmed in his
tory,' his desire will perhaps be full
filed. We suspect, however, that he
will in after ages present more of the
appearance of petrifaction.

competent to take charge of two unpro-
tected girls as half Of those who sport

The first stoppage was at Porkopolis,
but they did not desire to tarry there.
An uncalculated inconvenience, however,
overlook them They spent their small
stock of greenbacks literally, and it
gave out before they we're well aware OF
it. They bethought them that they would
like to visit the Mound City, though they
had not the means with which to pursne
the journey
The parties arrived at st. Louis on
Thursday last. Not knowing the city
they took lodgings at the City Hotel, but
not finding things to suit Them there,
they went next day to the Western House,
on Broadway. s.. q.
Having thus become settled, they went
TO the Varieties theater and made an en-
gagement with Mr.. beagle as ballet dan
GERS. Willie also got situation, and all
things seemed moving along lovely.
But distracted parents, who were for
saken in Cleveland, telegraphed for in
formation in regard to their lost girls all
over the country The Chief of Police
of this city received a telegram request
ing him to use all due diligence in ascer-
tanning the whereabouts of the girls in
this city. The matter was put in the
hands of officer Gray, and he soon got the
track of the estrays ....
Parents were Informed and they arriv-
ed here They were escorted up to the
Western House. The girls were in bed,
and we're taken completely by surprise.
Such begging and imploring for forgiv-
ness the officer never saw before. The
runaway girls were very glad to return
home with their parents, and promised
never to leave home again. st Louis
