Mr.. Jacob will not receive single

Printing Sermons.

There are, perhaps, $4,000 sermons
preached every Sabbath in the United
States. The greater part of these are
listened to by the assembled worshipers
with reasonable interest and attention.
How many of them would find readers,
II they were all printed instead of being
spoken? We may safely say they would
not reach tenth part of the number
they do now. We sincerely believe that
II one writes with view to the appear
ance OF his sermon in print he will in.
fallibly write poor sermon. twill fail
of any immediate effect upon the con.
gregation, and if we understand the
design of preaching the Gospel, that is
the very thing at which it aims. The
more earnest, imprisoned, glowing and
sympathetic it is the higher its excel.
lence as a sermon. The very qualities
which make it effective in the pulpit
are to a great degree blemish in the
published discourse. A certain expan.
sion, reiteration and amplifcation, which
give force to the utterance of the
preacher, are insufferable on the printed
page. 1t is wearisome to read one of
Whitfeld's sermons, the preaching of
which moved thousands to uncontrolla-
bic leligious fervor. Not merely voice,
and gesture, and play OF countenance
arc wanting in the published sermon,
but the whole style of spoken dis

Read an Hour q Day.

There was a lad who, at fourteen, was
apprerticed to soap dealer. One of
his resolutions was to read an hour a
day, or at least at that rate, ard he had
an old silver watch, left him by his
uncle, which he timed his reading by.
He stayed seven years with his master,
and it was said when he was twenty. one
he knew as much as the young squire
did. Now let us see how much time he
had to read in, in seven years, at the
rate of one hour day. 1t would be
1855 hours, which, at the rate of eight
hours a day, would be equal to three
hundred and ten days; equal to forty
five weeks nearly years reading

A Minister'S Desperate Conflict with
Burglar.

Rev. G. c. Thompson, of this place,
had fearful encounter with burglar
in his study on Friday night. 1t seems
that numter Of his friends were visit.
ing him, and one of them desired to
enter his study, which is on the second
floor, near the head of the stairs. He
went up al found the door locked on
the inside, and returned and informed
Mr. Thompson o. the singular fact. The
latter explained the matter to the salts
faction of his guests. as he did not wish
to alarm them, but he was untay in his
own mind, and, when they had de-
parted, he resolved to investigate the
unusual occurrence. He approached
the door of the study and demanded to
be let in, otherwise threatening to break
in. The door, after short interval,
was opened, and before Mr.. Thompson
could recognize who the intruder was,
he was seized about the arms in power
full grasp and thrown to the floor. He
succeeded in freeing his arms, and then
terrible struggle commenced, the
burglar putting forth every nerve to
drag Mr.. Thompson to the stairs and
throw him over the banister, and Mr..
Thompson endeavoring to get away and
call assistance. He gave and received
several blows, but the intruder was too
much for him, and gradually drew him
toward the stairs. Mr.. Thompson held
on firmly, however, as he determined to
take his assalant over with him if he
was thrown down himself. The light
which he had brought up with him was
extinguished in the first of the contest,
and the two were struggling entirely in
the dark. The struggle continued over
ten minutes, when Mr.. Thompson began
to fail in strength, and from loss of
blood, and the burglar succeeded in
getting him to the top of the stairs, and
threw him over. Mr.. Thompson held
to him with the tenacity of bulldog,
and pulled his assailant with him, and
the two went rolling to the bottom to.
gether. Mr. Tn mpson was only slightly
stunned by the fall, and the bur glar, ap.
parently uninjured, attempted to escape
by the hall door. He was held still by
the half.unconscious preacher, and only
released himself by powerful blow
and escaped. Who the burglar was is
is not known. Mr.. Thompson lies in q
serious but not dangerous condition
