NEW PATENT SERMON.

Of all the rich pieces of absurdity which have ever come under our notice, tho following is the cap-sheaf:
 lfy Hearcrs: l shall draw forth the horns of my argument from the following hymn:
 This world is all feetin' show,
 To mans illusion given;
 Never aspire where you can't set,
 Or to the airth you'll fall.
 sIagree with the tavern keeper, who said, when the circus company sloped without pay ing him for grub and grog 'sthis world is all feetin show," and also side with the hun gry man, who cried out in the bustin agony of his heart, when he saw cooked pigs head smokin in the magic lantern, that it is for .sman's illusion giyenr' My friends, you wrap your feelins around the rotten things of this world, even as monkeys do their tails around the unsound limbs of old trees. When you gcthigh up, you find your honey bee hol- Ter, turns out to be a hornets nest, and when those little fyin Belzebubs commence pokin their sharp pinted shouts deep into your car cass, you wriggle about like an eel in q fryin pan, your tail gets untwisted, or the limb breaks, that you have grabbed as tight as a leather sucker does brickbat, and you fall, cowhallop, upon the broken glass bottles, which are always strewed under the pizen Upas tree of pleasure! Oh, the vanity of de- sirin the slippery paths of this airth You run after em you pant, you blow, the parspi- ration runs down you like soapsuds in wash in machine, your body is covered over with the prickly heat of anxiety, and your feet with the soft cerns of care and, disappoint- ment. And what arc all these sufferins for What makes your nose bleed, ,and what makes your blood bile like hot pitch at tar gather in? Why, you've been running after thegreat sheat of Alaulmon! His tsil has been dipped in Satan's lard kittle, and when you think you've got him foul-when you've poured the ashes of vexation on your palms, when you've dipped your fingers into tic sand and glue oi experience and wisdom, 50 that they'll stick fast and no mistake, the cussed critter gives a grunt, like the bustin of bladder, and his tail slips through your paws like geese-greased lightnin Oh, my beloved hearers how aw- ful is your situation in that pertickuler time You see the hog you've been runnin after all your born days way on ever so far ahead, and you're ever so ditto behind. All your precau- tions have come to what hickory wood will in the winter time, smoke! Your trousers are split, your shirts dirty, and your eyes are streaming like two lie-hoppers on rainy day

LOVE TIE OLD.
BY l.. VIRGINIA FRENCH.

i love the old, to lean beside The antique, easy chair, And pass my fingers softly o'er A wreath of silvered hair; Flo press my glowing lip upon The furrowed brow, and gaze Within the sunken eye, where dwells The "light of other days To fold the pale and feeble hand That on my youthful head, Has lain so tenderly, the while The evening prayer was said. To nestle down close to the heart, And marvel how it held Such terms oflegendary lore, The chronicles of Ed.
 Oh Youth, thou hast so much of joy, So much of life, and love, So many hopes-Age has but one, The hope of bliss above. Turn awhile from these away To cheer the old, and bless The wasted heart-strings with stream Of gushing tenderness. Thou treaaest now path of bloom, And thine exulting soul Springs proudly on, as tho it mockd At Times unfelt control. But they have marched q weary way, Upon thorny road; Then soothe the toil-worn spirits, ere They pass away to God. Yes, love the aged--bow before The venerable form, So soon to. seek beyond the sky X shelter from the storm Aye, love them let thy silent heart { With reverence untold; As pilgrims very near to heaven, Regard and love the old.s

TIE FOUNDER OF METHODIsM IN AslERIcA.-The year 1866 marks an inn portant epoch in the history of the Meth odist Episcopal Church in America; for it looks back upon the first century of it's ex- istence in this country--a century of exs- tence and labor, during which time the congregation of five persons, whom Philip Embury, an Irishman, its founder, gather- ed in his own house in New York, l766, has grown to an aggregate numbered by hundreds of thousands, scattered over the whole of North America and the first con ference, of E73, with its ten preachers, has multiplied to sixty conferences, with '6S2l itinerant and 8205 focal preachers
 After life of severe labor as a preach CT, Embury, who was born in Limerick, Ireland, in l728, died suddenly ill H75, and was buried at Ashgrovc; Washington county, New York, where he then resided.
 It wasarranged some time ago that dur ing the recent session of Troy Methodist Episcopal Conference, the remains of Elm bury should be transferred from the ob- scure location where they have lain and peposited in the new Woodland cemetery, recently opened in the town of Cambridge, Washington county. Last Friday after noon witnessed this ceremony and two hundred ministers in attendance at the conference, with large number of villa gers, followed to new grave the relics of their great pioneer, and with solemn rites recommitted them to mother earth. Rev. Bishops James oficiated. assisted by several prominent clergymen of the denomination.
Des Arc citizen., 1866-05-19

the arbitrary power of conviction and pun ishment for pretended offenses had been the great engine of despotism in all ages and all countries. The existence of such power is utterly incompatible with free dom. The difference between master and his slave consists only in this: that the master holds the lash in his hands, and he may use it without legal restraint, while the naked back of the slave is bound to take whatever is laid on 1t.
 But our fathers were not absurd enough to put unlimited power in the hands ofthe ruler and take away the protection of law from the rights of individuals. It was not thus that they meant "to secure the bless ings of liberty to themselves and their posterity." They determined that not one drop of the blood which has been shed on the other side of the Atlantic, during sey- en centuries of contest with arbitrary pow CT, should sink into the ground; but the fruits of every popular victory should be garnered up in this new government. Of all the great rights already won they threw not an atom away. They went over mag na charta, the petition of right, the bill of rights, and the rules of common law, and whatever was found there to favor individ- ual liberty they carefully inserted in their own system improved by clearer expres- sion, strengthened by heavier sanctions, and extended by more universal appliea- tion They put all those provisions into the organic law, So that neither tyrannyin the executive, nor party rage in the legis- lature gould change them without destroy ing the government itself.
 Look fora moment at the particulars and see how carefully everything connect ed with the administration of punitive jus tice is guarded.

 TELLING MoVHEn.--A cluster of young girls stood about the door of the school-room one afternoon, engaged in close conversation, when q little girl joined them and asked what they were doing. I am telling the girls s secret, Kate, andwe will let you know if you will promise not to tell any one as long as you live, was the reply
 I wont tell any one but my mother,' re piled Kate, I tell her everything, for she is my best friend
 No not even your mother, no one in the world
 We'll, then can't hear it for what Il can't tell mother, is not fit for me. to know
 After speaking the words, Kate walked away slowly, and perhaps sadly, yet with quiet conscience, while her companions went on with their secret conversation.
 I am sure if Kate continued to act on that principle, she ebecameayirtuous, useful woman. No child will be likely to take q sinful course, if Kate's reply is taken for arule of conduct.
 MYSTERY OF WoMEN.--An exchange says there is a feature in young ladies' dress that has puzzled many--what is the signifcante of wearing long ends of ribbon round the neck When they wear ends hanging in front, it means that 'sthe lady is marrried;p over the right shoulder, that ''she is engaged; ;" over the left shoulder, 'sthat she has fellow com ing to see her, but is not engaged" ;" down the back, means, ssbeys, come on, want a beau !'' If she does not wear any, it means ''she is en- gagged" and don't want to have anything to do with any other fellow.
 MoDEsTY There is Q resistless charm in a modest demeanor, which is worth more than all the arts with which designing women seek to captivate the opposite sex. Meretrieious attractions may chance to please to-day, but native excellence, with the simple setting of modesty will delight tomorrow and next day, and so on, without interruption. Moreover. the pleasure which we derive from spurious or shallow charms is almost certainly followed by disgust when we come to sec that we have been imposed upon. It is not agreeable to us to know and feel that we have been cheated. The old paradox about ''beauty unadorned" has much truth in it,
 If you want an ignoramus to respect you, sdress to death" and wear wateh-seals about the size of brickbat,
