Clerical Table Talk.

DIR. Gilley related the following an.
ecdote, which was told by we'll known
Irish character, Thaddeus Connolly,
who used to spend much OF his time in
wandering through Ireland, and IN
structing the lower classes in their ma
tive language. 81 went, said he, "one
Sunday, into church to which an in
cumbent had been lately appointed.
The congregation did not exceed half
a dozen, but the preacher delivered
himself with I'D much energy and cx-
preston us if he was addressing q
crowded audience. After the service
l expressed to the Clergyman my
wonder that he should preach so fer.
vently to such a small number of peo-
pie. Were there but one" said the
rector, "my anxiety for his improve
ment would make me equally ener-
getlc,"
The following year Connolly went
into the same church; the congregation
was multiplied seven fold The third
year he found the church full.
The following has been going the
rounds of the newspapers. Men seem

and unclean beasts We're expressly

The Seven sIeepers.

be witty must somo time in the course
of his life, drag in the seven sleepers,
which is about the same us u reference
to seven senses But to the matter.
The story of the soven Sleepers was an
old piece Of IRONY, very old indeed, and
very much, in essence, like Rip Van
Wlnllles long slumber,
The seven sldepers were reputed to
be inhabitants of Ephesus-perhups
they were aldermen. However, six,
it is stated on ancient authority, were
persons Of local consequence, and the
seventh aservant During the Decan
persecution they retired to cave,
from whence the attendant was dls-
patched occasionally to tho city for
food. Docius, hearing OF their course,
ordered the mouth Of the cave to be
closed NJ by masonry while the whole
soven We're taking nap No doubt
It was just after dining, After Il lapse
of several centuries q part of the wall
tumbIcd down by reason ofage, so that
light penetrated the interior and actu-
allyuwoke the whole of then'. Feel
=
ing refreshed by sleep, the servant was
sent off as usual ior a basket of pro
Y visions, their appetitCs beng kooh.
iIo found Ephesus 80 s'ngulary
changed since tho last trip he was
amazed ut the alterations, No one
knew him, nor could he recognize It
single familiar face in the city, The
money offered for Whit he purchased
was an oddlty, Noone had oversecn any
such before. A citizen accused him OF
having robbed an antique treasury,
and had the poor fellow arrested The
story reached e emperor, who visited
the cave to ascertain if what herelaled
was true, 1t was corroborated by the
six men, who died on concluding their
story.-Horper's Weekly.

Itis not the custom of our people TO
symtollze their feelings by a change
Of dress, with this solitary exceptions.
II man becomes bankrupt, or has bis
home burned down, or loses heavily in
commercial operations, or has a son in
disgrace, or child misled by evil COM
pany, or any other griefful experience,
he docs not change his garb. The ono
solitary and exceptional case is be-.
reovement But there is in domestic
sorrow a dehcacy, or ought to be, which
should shrink from an ostentatiousness
such as mourning apparel cannot fail
10 have No one has a right to express
his Sc rrows so as 10 lntrude them upon
every eye wherever he goes.
Custom has long justified 1T, other.
wise it would be esteemed an indeli-
cacy for one to be walking adver
usemcnt of ones own private griefs.
But If one were permitted TO announce
this one SIDE of domestic experience by
change of garb, the question still re-
mains, whether expression should be
given TO the weakness of natural feel
ing the triumph Of Christrian faith 4?
Whether we should symbolic the
darkness Of the grave rs unenlightehed
nature shows it, or the grave made
luminous by the triumphs of our Sa-
viour and the glories of immortality
beyond 1t II? We may be sure there is
something wrong in Christian CON-
muuity where death is surrounded with
associations of terror. where the young
are reared to horror of the sepulchre,
where present grlei rises up like a
dark cloud and shuts out heaven,
whcre-in sermon, services, conversa-
tion and dress-everything conspires
to shroud death ard the grave with
darkness. Has sorrow right to be
selfish? May it bear false witness
against Immortality? Has christian
under bereavement right 20 declare
by his conduct "therc is no light in
the grave, mono beyond It, and no
comiovt for the bercaved but one black,
black soToww l never meet one
muflied in black from head to foot
without q certain horror. The smell
of Grape is to me like the smell of Il
charnel house.
Did t.ever occur to mourners TO ask,
what, if those for whom l grieve were
to speak to mo out Of their blissful
rest IN heaven, would be their choice
that should be shrouded like one in
despair, or robcd as ono who nouns
but with christian hope ?-[H. Ward
