Short Sermon from "a Hard Shell.

''There's nine men standin' at the lore
and they all sed they'd take shugar il
ther'n."
oich, friends and bretering, was the talk,
in q wurdly cents, Wunst common in this
our ainshunt land: but the dais is gon by,
and the sun runs dry, and no man can say
to his naber, hoo art thou, man, and will
you take any more shugar in your kanghey
But the words of our tex has difrunt
and more pertickerleer meening than this.
Thar they stood at the dore on cold win
turs morning, two Babtis5 and two Meth
odies and five Lutharians, and the tother
one was publican. And they all with one
vols said they wouldn't dirty their feet in a
dram shop, but if the publican would go
and git the drinks they'd pay for EN-.
And they all cried out and every man
sed, "Ill take mine with shugar, for it
won't feel good to drink the stuff without
sweetnin.' So the publikin marched in,
and he answered and sed, GA drink" s'How
will ye have % ''Plane and straight, :"
says he 'Efor it amt no use wasting shUg
az to circumsalivate akafortis. But there's
nine more standin at the dore, and they all
sed they'd take shugar in ther'n"
Friends and brethering, it aint only the
Ticker of sperits that is drunk in this round
erbout and underhand way, but it is the
Ticker of all sorts of human wickedness in
like manner. Thor's the Ticker of malls,
that many of you drinks O the drugs, but
yure sure to sWeeten it with the shugar of
self-iustifcation. Thar's the ticker of aver
is that sum keep behind the curtain for
constant use, but they always has it we'll
mixed with the sweetnin of prudence and
ekonimy. Thar's the ticker of self luv that
some men drinks by the gallon, but they
always puts in lots Nv the sugar NV take keer
of No. |. And lastly, thar's the Ticker Nv ex
orshun which the man sWeetens according
to circumstances. If he's in the flour line,
he'll say the pore'll be better off eatin korn
bread; if he's in the cloth line, why it's a
good thing to larn EN- tn make their cloth
at home; if he's in the leather line, it'll larn
'em the needcessity of taking better keer
Nv shoes "And thar's nlne more stand
in at the dore, and they all sed they'd take
shngar in ther'n.
But friends and brothering, thars time
cunning and a place fixing, where tharll be
no g standin at the dore " to call for " shr-
gar in ther'n." But they'll have to go rite
in and take the drink square up to the 'front.'
and the barkeeper'll be old Satun and no.
body else; and he'll give them "shugar in
ther'n "youd better believe it, and it'll be
shugar of led, and red hot led at that, as
sure as your names Constance Dodger.-
And you'll be entitled to your rashuns

and if you don't like it you II have to lump

Sad Case of Suicide.

Mrs Julia Jones, a respectable lady, wife
of New Orleans jeweler, committed sui
eide in that city few days since. It ap-
pears that wedding party took place at
the house of Mr.. Jones on Monday evening
last The sister Of Mrs. Jones was married
to gentleman from Texas. The marriage
ceremonies were celebrated with wedding
party, dancing, singing and enjoyment
ruled the hour ; and although it was OBJ
served by those present that Mrs. Jones
was quite sad, and wept several times du
ring the evening; still no one thought for
a moment that such direful resolutions had
taken possession of her mind. The we'd
ding party did not separate until the wee
small hours, and to the congratulation of
the parting friends, Mrs. Jones, it is said,
seemed to join in hearty thanks. Mr.. Jones
accompanied the wedding party to the de-
pot, and upon finding the store closed in
Quired the whereabouts of his wife. One
of the domestics informed him that she
had been out about one hour, and that she
stated that she was going to market He
entered the store by the back door. and to
his horror there found his wife lying on
the floor, weltering in her own blood. She
was lying behind the counter, with the
muzzle of pistol close to her breast and
the handle clasped in her hand. The ball
had passed near the REGION of her heart,
and her death must have been almost in
stantaneous. The deceased was in her
thirty-fft year, and the mother of three
children She and her husband are said to
have lived very happily together.

Singular. if True,

Miss Sallie Hinckley is the leading fairy
nudity in the grand spectacle now being
performed at the New York Theatre, and
as such is we'll known to New Workers.
The Mercury, theatrical paper published
in New York, says this same Miss Hinckley
did good thing the other night
1t seems that Miss Sallie attended broth
er Smyth's lectures on the Black Crook di-
whites ;and So when she espied schol-
arly and rather good looking elderly gentle
man, with long hair and prominent chin,
on front seat at the New York Theatre,
the other evening, she ''knew her man."-
At the close of the scene, she sent an invi-
tation to the Rev. DR.. Smyth to come round
on the stage. If our information is true,
the parson went round, shook hands with
Sallie, whose Eve-like appearance pleased
him very much. Before leaving, Dr. Smyth
was introduced to the prominent ballet
girls who thanked him for having spoken
OF them so favorably in his recent discourse.
1t is understood that the parson promised
to visit them at their home. Verify, the
time is coming when the lion and lamb
shall lie down together

Wages of Labor.

The report of the Agricultural Bureau
for January contains an elaborate compila-
ton of the statistics of wages of farm labor
throughout the country. 1t is based on
original returns from every State in the
Union, almost every county b9ing repre-
sented in portion of them. It also in
cludes tie territories. The average rates
of white labor, without board, is $28 per
month, and SIS so per month with board.
The average rate of freedmen's labor is
$16 without board, and 50 IS with board
The highest rate for States is in California,
about $45. Massachusetts pays the next
highest S3S The average rate in the Eas-
tern States is $S533 30 ; for the Middle States
$50 OF; for the Western States, $28 70; in
the Southern States, for freedmen, Sic
The increase IN the rate of labor since 1860
is about so per cent; and since 1866, upon
Mr.. Carey's estimate, 70 per cent. The
rate of wages, with board, of the States
forming the belt from Pennsylvania to
Iowa, varies but "a cents, ranging from
$1S 72 to $1S 96.

The Next Congress.

The special Washington correspondent
Of the New York "World writes
Speculation is already rife as to the pre-
siding officers of the next Congress, for, as
Senator Fosters term of office will expire
on the 4th of March, a new President OF
the Senate will have to be chosen. This
latter, however, is a small matter as com
pared with the Speakership Of the House.
Speaker Colfax is anxious for reelection,
and his prospects are very good, But re-
Gently it has been ascertained that there is
an undercurrent against him. A number
of the leading Radicals are quietly working
in opposition to him, fearing lest he may
not give them the assistance which they
will need to secure the success of sall their
projects. Thad. Stevens is understood to
favor the selection of a new Speaker, as he
feels sorely at being called to order few
days SINCE for his remarks about Mr. Bing-
ham, of Ohio, and the call being sustained
by Speaker Colfax. He has not named a
candidate for tie Speakership, but it is be-
lieved that he would prefer the election of
some bitter Radical, otherwise too mild to
offer the slightest opposition to any propo-
sition introduced OF endorsed by him. Yet
it is not likely that the opposition to the
reelection of Colfax will amount to much.
The present Speaker is intensely Radical,
and has never refrained to express the most
extreme views when such expression might
prove advantageous to him as partisan. -
He will lend all the aid in his power to the
impeachment of Mr.. Johnson, so soon as
he thinks that the majority Of his party
favor IL

Eccentric Divine.

The Rev. Zeb Twitchel was the most no.
ted Methodist preacher in Vermont for
shrewd and laughable sayings. In the pulpit
he maintained suitable gravity of manner
and expression, but out of the pulpit he
overfowed with fun. Occasionally he
would, if emergency seemed to require, in
troduce something queer in a sermon for
the sake of arousing the tagging attention
of his hearers. Seeing that his audience
was getting sleepy, ne paused in bis dis
course, and discussed as follows:
''Brethren, you haven't any idea of the
sufferings of our missionaries in the new
settlements on account of the mousquitoes.
The mosquitoes in some of these regions
are enormous. A great many of them
would weigh pound, and they will get on
logs and bark when missionaries are going
along"
By this time all eyes and ears were open,
and he proceeded to finish his discourse.
The next day one of his hearers called
him to account for telling lies in the pulpit
''There never was a mousquito that weigh
ed a pound" he said
But didn't say one of them would
weigh pound !; [ said great many, and
think a million of them would
''But you said they barked at the mis-
sionaries.'
''No, no, brother said they would get
on logs and and bark
