A Short Sermon.



Tiers nine men a 8tandin' at the door,
and they all sed they'd take shugar IN
Mer'n.''
Sich, trends and breethring, was the talk,
in a wurldly cence, wonst kommun in this
our ainshunt land; but the dais is gon by,
and the sans run dry, and no man kan say
to his nabur, 'hoo art thou, man, and viii
you take eny more shugar in your kaughy?'
But the wurds of our tex has a difrunt
and a more pertikler meenin than this.
Thar they stood at the doTs on kold win
tur's mornin, two was Baptiss, and two was
Methodiss, and FIVE Lutharians, and the
tother one was pubHkin. And they all
with one vols sed they wouldn't dirty their
feet in a dram-shop, but if the pubiikin
would go in and git the drinks they'd pay
for 'em. And they all cried out and every
man sed, ''Ill take mine with shugar, for it
wont feel good to drink the stuff without
sweetnin." So the publikin he marched
in and the bar-keeper sed, "What want
ye?" and he answered and sed, ga drink"
"How will you have it?'' ''Plane and
strate," ses he, "for it aint no use Wastin
shugar to circumsalivate akafortis. But
theirs nine more standin at the dore, and
they all sed they would take shugar in
ther'n.'
Friends and breethring, it aint only the
likker of sperrits that is drunk in this
rounderbout and underhandid way, but it
it the lkker of all sorts of human wickidnis
in like manner. Thar's the likker of MALLS
that a many Nv you drinks to the dregs,
but you're shure to sweeten it with shugar
OF sefjustifcation in one way or another.
Thar's the likker of aYariss that sum keeps
behine the kurtln for constant uae, but
they always has it well MKT with the sweet
min NV pIudens and ekonimy. Thars the
likker of self-luv that sum men drinks by
the gallon, but they always puts it in lots
Nv the shugar NV Takekeerer No: l. And
lastly thar's the likker Nv extorshun which
the man. sweetins accordin' to surkumstan-
ces--if he's in the flour line he'll say the
! pore'll be better off eatin corn bredj it he's
in the cloth line, why its good thing to
/ learn 'em to make ther own cloth at home;
! if he's in the lether line, it'll teach 'em the
needcessity of takin' better keer of ther
Shoes. "And theirs nine more standin' at
the dore, and they all sed they'd take shu-
gar in ther'n."
But trends and hreethring, thar's a time
cummin and place fxin, when thar'll be
no "standin at the dore" to call for ''shu-
gar in ther'n." But they'll have to go rite
is and take the drink square up to the front;
and The bar-keeper'n be ole Satun and no
body else; and he'll give 'em "shugar in

shur as your names Conschuncedod-er.
And you'll be Untitled to your rashuns

and if you don't like it, you'll have ito lump
it, and so may the ole Nick close down
upon all your silk palaverin around the

Good Advice.


We commend the following sensible adj
vice from the Atlanta Fepo Era to parents
and guardians and to those of our young
men who have no special calling. Learn
a trade or some useful occupation, says
cotemporary, and you will find that it will |.
prove your best friend when all others a,
sert you. The man makes the TRADE
not the trade the man. The foolish
unfortunately entertained by some of
people that it was not respectable to
mechanic, has been exploded, and fortuuN
ate is he now who, regardless of vulgar
prejudice, taught his children that it was
respectable to labor, and accordingly
brought them up to some mechanical or
other industrial pursuit, Its advantages are
row apparent; the man who has good
trade and labors diligently. will always
make a comfortable livelihood, and be re
spected by those of his fellowcitizens whose
good opinion is worth having.
"LEARN A TRADE.-Teach your son to
work-to work with his hands-to combine
muscular power with brain power, and he
Will seldom turn thle1, Vaga0ohd or Vagrant-
The great misfortune with a majority cf
our young men is, that they have been
taught no regular trade or employment.
They now feel sadly the the want of this
useful training. Impress boy with the
value of time, teach him some honorable
calling, however humble. and if he has the
MAN in him it will develope itself in time.
He will teach himself, from observation
and association with the best class of per-
sons, who always recognize and appreciate
true merit-to be, and not merely to appear
to be-. a gentleman.
The silly notion, so prevalent heretofore
in this country, that physical labor is in
cOnsistant with good breeding, must give
way to more practicable, more sensible,
and more healthy sentiment. We will then
have fewer forgeries, fewer gamblers, few
er drunkards, and consequently less de-
mand for space in our State prisons. We
will have more workshops, more factories.
more schools, more and better filled church
es, and more thrifty, self-reliant, inteli-
gent, hardy and cnterprising population.

SINGING is a great institution 1t oils
the wheels of care and supplies the place of
sunshine A man who sings may be said
10 have good heart. Such a man not only
works more willingly, but he works more
constantly. A singing cobbler will earn
as much money again as cordwainer who
gives way to low spirits and Indigestion.
Avaricious men never sing. The man
who attacks singing, throws a stone at hi
larity and would. if he could. rob June of
her roses aud August of her meadOw-larks.
Such man should be looked 10.

shan't have their Pulpits

The Southern Christian AdUocate, pub
lished at Macon, Ga, has been asked if the
Northern Methodist Preachers, who haye
been stationed in Georgia by Bishop Clark,
can use the pulpits of the Church of which
that paper is an organ. The Advocate re-
plies, "Of course not. They are not at
the pains to recognize our church; they
come as marauders upon our Conferences
and congregations; they wish to introduce
schisms among our people,; and they and
all who join them from our ministerial
ranks are using all their influence to destroy
US; and while the church North, holds its
present position, not even Christian charity
requires us to offer them our pulpits, or to
fraternise with them in any way. Their
political and social doctrines antagonize
every instinct of true Southerners-and
they deserve no favOrs at our hands. Let
them take care of themselves.

Why Do Women Dress?

AS we pass along the streets we re
times look at the beautifully dress
egant women. s.
and lovers, a1c4Swin the admiration of the
masculing generally" But it's no such
thing. Women do not dress to please their
husbands or fascinate their lovers. It's
vulgar error. A fashionable woman is not
half as anxious to win the admiration of men
as to provoke tho envious admiration of her
own sex. The truth is, men, as rule,
know but very little about the value of fe-
male attire, except when they have 10 foot
the bills Cost is the standard of woman's
excellence in costume. Ladies are consum-
mate critics too. No tradesman is better
Judge of the articles in which he deals than
the lady of fashion is of all the articles her
sisters wear.
With a single glance, rapid, keen and
searching, she can ''reckOn up" the habili-
ments of rival in the beau monde almoet to
a cent No pawnbrUker could come nearer
the mark. Imitation lace, jewelry, howev-
er vratsemJzant, do not deceive her. She
can see through the cheat as easily as
banker detects a forged bill. She triumphs
IN the reflection that her splendOrs are gen
uine, and that her 'set," sharp-eyed as a
lynx, can distinguish between tweedledum
and tweedledee. Mole-eyed man sees not
the difference, unless it is pointed out to
him. Is it not plain then that women dress
for each other rather than to command man
ly worship? or course they like to be ad-
mired by men, certainly, but TO be enyied
by their own sex is a supreme luxury.

A BeautifuI Idea.

Among the Alleghanies there is sping,
so small that single OK could drain it dry
on a summers day. 1t steals its unObtru-
sive way among the hills until it spreads
out into the beautiful Ohio. Thence it
stretches away a thousand miles, leaving
on its banks more than hundred villages
and cities, and many thousand cultivated
farms, and bearing on its bosom more Than
thousand srsmboats. Then joining the
MISSISSIPPI 81, It stretches away some twelve
hundred miles or more, until it falls into
the great emblem of eternity It Is one Of
the great tributaries of the ocean, which,
obedient only to God, shall roll and roar till
the angel, With one foot on the sea and the
other on thu ball lift up his hand to
s,sz. and sTes<sz.sss. tira shall be no
Ionger. So with mortal Inns
a rivulet, an ocean, boundless and TathOm-
less as eternity.

If we Of the South had not lifelong
knowledge Of the grasping and unscrupu-
lous, but at the same time keen, untiring
spirit which impels the Northern Radicals
to compass our ruin. we should attribute
their inordinate hatred to sectional insani-
ty alone; but there is a method in it which
is not allied to madness-it is simply a
deep-seated aud relentless purpose to pros
trate the Southern people, if possible, at
their feet.

A: REPRESENTATIVE MAN.

| AS hEf fhEoENIAIltE MAN. &.
WENDELL PHILLIPS is out in tn
New York Ant-Slayery Standar,
in favor of Fred. Douglass, TO rep
resent the State Of New York il
the Senate of the United States
Though. always in advance of hi;
party, Phillips is constantly i'm
pelled to higher ground by its pres
sure upon his heels. One of those
men who can not fight with the
majority-trained, through lone
life, TO battle against numbers, nc
sooner does the party, whose pin
ciples he is consistent enough to
carry into practice, come up to his
position, than he abandons it, and
takes another step in "progress."
He is now advocating the putting
into practice the theory that a ne,
gro is as good as a white man, and
that, in our Government, no dis
tinction should be made on account
of color. In all the legislation OF
the past five years, the Republican
party, though denying it, have been
steadily moving towards a recog-
milton of this doctrine. The peo.
pie have not accepted it, nor will
they. They believe this to be a
white mans Government, and that
it and they will be degraded by
the admission, as a part of the
Government, of an inferior race
They recognize, in making up
their judgment, other distinctions
beside that Of color. They know
the negro to be of an inferior race,
and with none of the capabilities
they possess. The politicians Of
the Republican party know where
the people are on this subject, and
dare not avow their real position.
FROM their professions you can
prove nothing on them, 1t is to
such men as Phillips that we must
look for the views Of the leaders of
the party. He is the exponent Of
their ideas and principles, He is
the brains Of the party. He nom
mates Fred. Douglass as a, candi-
date for the Senate of the United
States. Why not? Douglass is a
man of intellect and culture. The
"why not" is simply this: the Re-
publican leaders dare not advocate
his election for fear of the people.
The Democratic party aciH not, be-
cause it holds that this is a white
mans Government, and that an
exceptional instance of ability is
no argument for confounding all
distinctions between their own and
an inferior race, and. subjecting
their institutions to the test of an
additional element of weakness.

HARD ON PARKERSBURG.

HARD ON PARkERSBURG
The editor of the Wheeling Intel
ligencer was told the following sto-
ry, not long ago, by gentleman
who had just returned from Par
kersburg: He had hardly got to
sleep when he was awakened by a
"bite." Upon lighting a match,
he found a bedtbug about half an
inch in diameter. He threw the
bug with the match into bucket
of water, which stood at the head
of the bed. This process was re-
peated several times. At last he
was awakened from a sound sleep
by what he thought was some per-
son singing. He threw up his win
dow, but could not find the cause
of the sweet sounds; but at last he
happened to look into the basin,
when he found that the bugs had
constructed araft out of the match
es he had thrown in, and were tow
ing it around the basin, singing:

CHRISTMAS.

The holidays, the season of fes-
tiyity, Of mirth, Of genial good fel-
.lowship, of happy reunions and
Joyous social gatherings through
out the entire Christian world, will
soon be upon MS. But very little
is known or thought, by the gay
reyelers of this happy season, Of
the event which gave to the day
we call Christmas, its distinctive
feature, and made it to be forever
marked as exempt from the cares,
the bustles and the worldliness of
its fellows. First associated to us

had brought u. Then, as the
pleasant fictions, which we all re-
member, gradually wore off--as-
sociated 10 us with other joys and
pleasures, not so unalloyed per-
haps, may be not so innocent, but
yet joys and pleasures, good and
healthy to heart and mind. To
eyerg one there are bright pictures
of this kindly season. In England,
more than with us, it is a time for
family reunions. The absent low
ed ones, scattered wherever they
may be, re-assemble round the fam
lily board, and in the merry-making
of the time and season, the ties of
affection, and of kindred are
strengthened and renewed. These
festive gatherings, with their pleas
ant memories, lend vigor to ou
best impulses. They cleanse from
the dust of worldliness which set
ties upon the spirits. Selfishness
becomes ashamed of itself in this
time of bounteous good fellowship. |

genial and mellowing influence of
the ever-present "egg-nog," or the
more fashionable, and decidedly |
better, p" Tom and Jerry"
We have too few holidays among
us, and what we have, excepting
"Christmas time," are too poorly |
observed. Notwithstanding the |
opposite opinion, maintained by
old fogies, we assert that in holi-
day times, the business of the Dev-
il is decidedly dull. He wins con-
verts by appealing to their selfish
interests; and, in holiday times, the
man who can be won in that way,
ought to go to the Devil!
For Christmas, "eat, drink, and
be merry" is our motto, coupled
with "every one to his taste."-
