A Qnaint Sermon.

AR D0dd was a minister who
lived many years ago a few miles
from Cambridge; and having several
times been preaching against drunk
enness, some of bis hearers were
much offended, thinking he made
reflections upon them. Meeting q
few men in the road one day he was
accosted by them and told that lie
must pFeach to them right then and
there from a text that they would
give him. lie tried to excuse him
self, hut his toFmentOrs, thinking to
ridicule him, pointed to a hollow
tree from which he must preach and
gave him as a text the word MALT.
lie accordingly began -
Beloved, let me crave your atten-
tion. am a little man, come at a
short notice, to preach small ser
mon, from a short text, to a thin
congregation, in an unworthy pulpit
Beloved, my text is Malt. I cannot
divide it into sentences, there being
none; nor into words, there being
but one. / must, therefore, divide
it into letters. which are NJ, A, L. L.
NJ is Moral, A is AllegOFical, l. is
Literal, T is Theological.
The Moral is TO teach you ruseics
good manners; therefore, M---nly
Masters, A-All OF you, L--Lcave
of, Tipping.
The Allegorical is when ole thing
is spoken Of and another meart;
the thing spoken of is Malt, which
you rustics make. M-your Meat,

The Literal, according to the let

The Theological is, according TO

ton, M-my Masters, A-All Of you,
Look for, THE Truth. Third,
by way of communicating the truth,
which is this: A drunkard is the
annoyance OF mOdcsty, the destruc-
tion OF reason, the robbers agent,
the alehouse's benefaetor, his wife's
sorrow, his children's trouble, his
OWE shame, his neighbors' scof, a
walking swillbowl, the picture of q
beast, the monster Of a man.

A Silly Warfare,


This warfare Mr.. johnson and
his friends are waging against Con.
fede-ate Generals is altogether
groundless and exceedingly silly
Mr.. johnson and his friends who
echo his twaddlc about Confederate
Generals know as we'll as we do that
only two Confederate Generals have
high places in Tennessee since the
war, and we dare Mr.. johnson OF
any of his satellites to place their
finger upon more than q half dozen
of them throughout the South who
have filled the coveted high places.
Two years ago Gen. Brown, who
since the war had lived a quiet, re-
tired but industrious life, laboring
to build up his wasted fortune, as
well as the shackles which Mr..
Johnson permitted Brownlow to
manacle him with would admit,
was called by the almost unanimous
voice of his people to serve them as
their Governor. So faithfully and
ably and honestly has he served
them that they have nominated
him for reelection. This is the ex-
tent Of his offending. Gen. Vaughn,
another peaceable, popular citizen,
whose only crime was that Of being
a Confederate General, was elected
to the State Senate and by the al.
most unanimous voice of that body
was chosen to preside over it's de-
liberations. These are the only in
stances on record in the State where
Confederate Generals have filed
the high places Mr.. johnson cOvets,
and we cannot believe that any
true, sensible man will permit this
great agitator and political ooBspir-
atOr to deceive them into the belief
that Confederate Generals have
filed and are asking for sll the high
places. This false alarm of his is
simply 8 low, weak and contempt
BILE subterfuge to arouse prejudices
in the minds of poor privates against
their leaders, only that be may slip
into one of these "high places"
over the fall of Cheatham, one of
their tried, trusted and true friends.
And even if all he charges were
true, what would the people gain by
electing johnson over Cheatham2
Would they get one OF their own
rank and file? Did he ever bivouac
with them on the cold hard ground
and eat hard tack? No, soldiers, he
cannot claim to have been even q
sympathizer with you, but on the
contrary was your bitterest enemy,
using all Of his influence and au-
thority TO humilitate and disgrace
you. Listen not to his deceitful
tongue. II is forked and poisonous.

Happiness Essential to Beauty.

DO not think you can make a girl

py. There is not one restraint you
put on a girls Baturc-there Is not
one shock you give 10 her instinct
OF affection or ehort-which will

all the more painful because il takes
away the brightness from the eyes
OF innocence, and the charm from

lOvlincss Of woman's countenance

peace which is found in the memory
OF happy and useful years, full Of

A traveller who has seen much Of
the world, and been thrown among
all classes of people, is apt to take
things easy and grow careless in
dress and habits. But George
Whitfield, the famous field-preaeher,
who was in his glory when address
ing thousands Of coal miners Gov
cred with SCOT, was fastidious in
the minutest detail of dress and
furniture. Anything out of order
in his clothing or out of place in
his room gave him intense annoy
ance. He could not eat in comfort
if the table cloth was spread uneven,
nor sleep in quiet if an article of
furniture was out of place. His
writing shared in the extreme neat
ness, and blots or erasures made
him nervous. 1t seems curious that
a man knocked so roughly about
the world as he, and without a set
tied home, should have retained
this fastidious ncatness till death.
