Dull Hearers.

We once heard a person, while
speaking Of a certain minister, style
him a "dull preacher" II was not the
first time we ever heard the remark
applied TO a class of preachers who,
while they seldom deal in the orna-
mental, always provided their hearers
with solid truth. Possibly,w thought,
there is dullness somewhere else. We
have seen dpll hearers as well as dull
preachers. Ut does man good TO
preach TO man or woman who is
wide awake--not only their eyes, but
their ears open, and their brains at
work A listening ihfdel is better
hearer than drowsy Christian. A
stubborn shake Of the head, as our
clearest arguments are stated, has
more animation in il than a sleepy
nod, which may express approval or
conceal a yawn. When people are
interested, they will listen. When
they recognize the message as from
God, and hear, remembering that eter.
nal interests arc atstake, the preach
er can feel that tho intellect of the
hearer grasps the truth, and his heart
feels its power. Let the hearers sharp
en- up, and there is no telling how
much il will brighten the sermoh.-
The upturned countenanco Of listen.
ing congregation exalts the preacher,
and bis mind takes in range OF tho't,
and his tongue grows eloquent as he
and weaving his arguments with Wig.
or, he binds them firmly with strong
appeals.
If your preacher is tame, perhaps
he only reflects your dullness. Wake
up. Help him, if not for your own
sake, for the sake of others. He may
not do you good but If God called
him TO preach, he has a message for
somebody. Do not let your dullness
blunt the edge of his blade.

Busy ANoY.-Innumerable are the
diseases that arise from our busy
fancy. We are all subject to the
tyranic sway of imagination's empire.
Under this mighty influence man
displays energies which lead him
boldly TO dare danger and complica-
ted sufierlngs, or he is reduced to a
degraded state of miserable despon-
dency. These diseases are the more
fearful, since they rarely yield TO
physical aid; and it is seldom that
moral influence is sufficiently persua.
sive TO combat their inveteracy. 1t is
idle TO tell the timid hypochondriac
that he is not i'll. The mere circum-
stance of his believing himself sick
constitutes q serious disorder. His
constant apprehensions dorange his
functions, until an organic affection
arises. The patient who fancies that
he labors Under an affection of the
heart distui'bs the circulation, which
is ever influenced by our moral emo
tions, ill at last this disturbance
occasions the very halady which he
dreaded, These alterations Of the
mind arisb from various causes; men
tai emotions, constitution, climate,
diet, hereditary disposition, education.
Tertuliah called philosophy and
medicine twin sisters; both may be-
como powerful agents in controlling
our Imagination.

ten or fifteen minutes, looked round.
He was stirring out Of the window,
apparently lost in reflection.
"How much did your cussed hog
weigh, anyhow" ! asked surlily as l
could.
His face didn't change q muscle,
though thought his eye looked a
trihe mischevous, as he replied:

Curious Letter to a Matchmaker.

herewith send thee my pocket
clock, which greatl, standethin need Of
thy friendly correction. The last time
he was at thy friendly school. he was
in no way reformed nor in the least
benefited thereby; for perceive by
the index of his mind that he is liar,
and the truth is not in him; that his
motions are wavering and irregular
that his pulse is sometimes SLOW,
which botoken eth not an even temper
and at other times it waxeih sluggish,
Notwithstanding | frequently urge
him; when he should be on his duty
as thou knoweth bis usual name
denoteth, ] find him slumbcring, or,
as the vanity man reason phraseth,
! catch him mapping. Examine him
therefore, and prove him, | beseecb
thee, thoroughly, that thou mayest,
being well acquainted with his inward
frame and disposition, draw him from
the error of his way, and show him
tho wherein he should go. 1t grieves
me 20 think, and when | ponder
thereon am verify of opinion that
his body is foul, and the whole mass
is corrupt. Cleanse him, therefore,
with thy charming physlc, from all
pollution, that he may vibrate. and
circulate according to the truth. ]
will place him few days under thy
care, and pay for his board as thou
requirest. / entreat thee, friend
John, to demean thysef on this occa-
sion with Judgment, according to the
gift which is in thee, and prove thy
self n workman. And when thou
layest thy correcting hand upon him,
let 1t be without passion, lest thou
shouldst drive him TO destruction
Do thou regulate his motion for a
time to come, by the motion of light
that rulcth the day, aud when thou
findest him converted from the errors
Of his ways and more confotmable TO
the above mentioned rules, then do
thou send him home, with the Just bill
of charges drawn out in the spirit of
moderation, and it shall be sent TO
thee, the root of all evil.

How the chill blasts Of winter
Cause the poor printer
To shrug up his shoulders or shiver with cramps
IL is really too bad,
He's half starved-poorly clad
While others have plenty Of stamps.
Without any pay,
He labors night ana day,
To give news to his readers or gain himself fame
In return, gets abuse,
Is called an "old goose"
Or some other equally horrible name.
Whil9 others sleigh-ride,
With girls by their side,
Attending supper, party, or ball,
AT home he must stay,
Not being able to pay
The biis for which such gaities call.
He's in a bad lurch,
He can't 20 to church,
He hasn't anything that's decent to wearj
His hats badly worn,
His pants muekly torn,
While his coat is completely threadbare.
At the close Of the year,
When Christmas is near,
And turkeys before you in plenty arc spread;
When others are buying,
The printer Is signing,
For well does he know he hasn't red"
With gloomy despair,
He lets '1oose a swear"
As thoughts Of evil through his brain run,--
unless-bless his kind face,
As ID sometimes the case,
Some good farmer makes him present Of one.

LITTLE NOISES. GOLDEN MossEs

Gray earth's pets, love you we'll
Little MOSES, golden NOSES
Would that had words to tell
Half your beauty, darling moses;
In the lcafy forest bowers,
In the meadows, gay with flowers,
We, in pride Of summer hours,
Overlook you, little moses.
When autunnai winds are signing
Little mosses, golden mosscs--
When the clouds and leaves are flying,
Are ye fearful, little mosscsl
Rains that ruin summers care,
Frosts that nip the blossoms fair
Winds that strip the branches bare,
VIII not harm their little moses.
When the eartn lies cold and dead--
Little mosses, golden NOSES
Meath her snowy shroud outspread,
Close We nestle, little mosses
Smiles the sun back, rs he spies
Through the snow your merry eyes
Laughing TO the wintry skies,
Brave and happy little moses.
Ah, would my heart could reach
Little mosses, golden NOSES
Half the lesson you can teach
Of patient courage, little moses;
or the quiet hopes that last
When the sky is overcast
Memories Of the summer past,
And trust in spring time, little moses

A slight nIlsunderstanding..

. A lady employed a young girl about
fifteen wears old to assist her about her
housework, and one day she was making
some cake, and wished TO put some
kind OF plums in it; SO she set dish
down on the table with the plums, and
told the girl 10 stone them, and to show
her how, she took up a plum and took
out the stone, with the remark, THAT is
the way 2 and then, thinking the girl un-
derstood what she meant, she put the
pfum she had in her mouth, instead oi
into the dish and went away. What was
her surprise, short time after, to have
theaairl come into the room where she
was, and tell her she had eaten all she
could! And when the lady went THE
room where she had been at work, she
found she had put all the stones into th'
F.. dish, and eaten all she could of the plum'
she thinking the hard pieces-meanine
the stones-would soften up when bakeC
in the cake.
