The Shortest Sermon.

Rev. DR.. Muhlenburg's sermon
at the funeral of the late Robert B
Minturn, Esq, is the shortest Oh
record, though several are recorded
with as few words. He read the
words of the Prophet Micah
sHe hath shown thee, 0 man.

Lord require ofthee, but to do just
ly and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy God?" And
then added: $50 DID HE"

parish school. The church was

We learn from the Richmond
Times that prior to the war and
division of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, the Baptist Churches in
the State numbered 100000 COM
municants. The "Disciples" were
also numerous; and it is now pro-
posed to unite the two denomina-
tions, and for this purpose con-
vention will be held in that city in
April. The Religious Herald con-
tains letters from influential gen.
tlemen of both persuasions, and all
express an earnest desire for the
union, ii it can be effected with
out a sacrifice Of truth and princi-
pie. The proposed convention is
anticipated with deep interest by
many.

AQueer Fight.

A novel pugilistic encounter
took place ON Monday, at West
Troy, N. Y. Three partners in
the bounty jumping business quar-
relied over some spoils when two
ofthem abused the third one to
draw him into a fight, but he lis
tened stoically for a while, when
an idea struck him and be said to
his assailants: "Either one of
you fellars is MORN a match for
me; but if you will strap your
selves together, I'll fight you just
to accommodate you" The nov
city of the proposition was too
strong to be resisted, and the three
adjourned toa barn to eight it
out on that line," followed by a
considerable crowd of spectators.
The men were strapped to geth-
er, and their right and left arms
pinioned. The single 'sman-of-
war" sailed in beautifully; being
in light trim he out manoeuyred
the heavier craft completely. He
was now before them, and behind
them, and not unfrequently made
their heads violently collide one
with another. In fact, he had
got them just where he wanted
them, and where he had evidently
been silently concocting to get
them, when they were so loud in
threats and abuse. His victory
was complete In about five min
utes he touched the loud-mouthed
gentleman off most elegantly, and
having satisfied his martial ardor,
departed highly elated with the
success which attended his origi-.
nal and happy idea. 1

Casting out Devils.

ago he was holding a meeting, at
which quite an interest was ava.

come to the mourners' seat, and
some had been converted. One
evening group, consisting of two
or three young men and as many
young ladies, were present, whose
object in coming was to have mer-
riment. Our friend, the minister,
having noticed their maneuvres
for while, and thinking it was
time that they were checked, found
his way to them, and addressing
himself to the young men, kindly
requested them to observe the de.
corum befitting the place. One
of them, whose ideas of politeness
were hardly up to the mark, ven-

there, and they had come to see

him outside, quietly remarking,

There lived on s. street,
Chicago, a Woodworking man,
who always attended to business
before pleasure. In this he was
right. One day his wife was ta-
ken sick, and the next day she
died. The husband kept at his
work as usual, and after the funer-
al he returned to his labors.-
"How is this?'' asked one of his

the reply; business before pleas

A Funny Speech.

The Wisconsin Legislature has
formally considered proposition
to abolish all laws for the collec-
ton of debts. The mover of the
bill, Mr.. Elmore, is a great wag,
as is evidenced by the following
extract from his speech Oh that
subject: sa e
The speaker proceeded to review
the present system of collecting
debts. 1t was all a humbug and a
cheat, a matter of technicalities
and legal shutting. Lawyers
gave advice in order to obtain fees
and encourage litigation. Judges
made blunders and mistakes. He
had a little experience in Law,
and that was rich. Laughter.
He would give a history of it,
The speaker then related how he
had purchased yoke of oxen
about fifteen years ago-paid $50
for them--a few days after, the
son of the man of whom he
bought the oxen came to him and
said the oxen were his. He insis-
ted on having pay over again, and
commenced a suit before a justice.
The jury didn't agree. Finally,
through the Eastwood Justice of
the Peace, the case went against
him. He appealed to the Circuit
Court in Milwaukee. There |

lars and performed his duty.
A new trial was then granted,
and the venue changed to WAL

with him and let the Judge claim
all the game that was shot, or else
pat his dog. l patted his dog.

The case was credited in my fa- !

I thought the dog had followed me
about long enough. / turned
around and gave him a kick.
Laughter.] The yelp of the dog
had hardly subsidized ere / heard
the Judge say, "Mr. Clerk, this
judgment is set aside and new
trial granted" [Great laughter. |
Mr.. Speaker, that kick cost me
S200. Convulsive laughter. Fl
You have no doubt seen a suit in

There is time spent by jurors and
hangers-on, besides other costs, at
least $50, besides the i'll feelings
and dissensions caused by it. 1t
is all a cheat. The litigants had
better sit down and play game
Of old sledge to decide the case.
It would be more sure to settle the
dispute justly.

To PRESERVE ToMAToEs.-Take
good ripe tomatoes, peel them, and
preserve them with good brown or
loaf sugar, as peaches or other
fruit. If not peeled, they will
burst and do not maintain the
consistence SO much desired by
house-keepers, though they are
good without peeling.
