\ SHORT SERMON, WITH Music
Professor Jewet, the now Master Of
Balliol College, England, has just de-
liyerod a remarkable sermon at the
university church Of St. Mary's, and
his sermon, unlike too many other
formal discourses under that name by
churchmen at the present day, was,
as might be expected from one of the
Essays and Reviews champion 8,
well worth listening to. But speak
ing Of sermons (saysan English writer,
allUIing to this discourse) reminds me
Of a story told in the "Life of john
Edwin" the comedian, which some Of
our prosy preachers might study, with
a Wow to the impaticnco os their con,
grcgations. When the said John
Edwin was tramping through the
South Of Ireland on n professional
tour, with three others, they requested
him, it being Sunday morning, to
favor them with a discourse suitable
to the day. He began as follows;
Ia the fifth chapter Of Job, seventh
verse, You will find these words;
MAN is born unto trouble as the
sparks fly upward | shall divide
this discourse, and consider it under
the three following heads. /. A
mans progress in the world, ., A
mans progress through the world; and
3, His egress out of the world.
'I. a mans irercss into the world Is
naked and bare;
. His progress through the world is
trouble aud ears;
3. And his csress out Of the world is
nobody knows where &"
To conclude
"lf we do woll here we shall do well there
can tell no more if preach whole
year"
Setting aside the free and easy
theology Of the witty actor, his metri-
cal sermon was by no means a bad
satire on the Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly,
and ia conclude, so dear to the pain,
fully logical precision of the country
parsons ofthe old school. While upor

the writer, | am reminded of an
anecdote of, the celebrated Rowland

odox vagaries. Once, being annoyed
at his footboy singing profane songs
while cleaning the knives and forks,
he ordered him, under pain of fdismissal
to sing hymns. But, as the work
proceeded only to the tune of the
solemn, yet slow measure, Rowland
Hill was compelled to tell the boy to
return to his old style of profane music,
otherwise his knives and forks would
never have been ready in time for
dinner.

A few days after the Chicago fire, a
repectably dressed lady left three
bright and handsome children at the
Protestant Orphan asylum, st. Paul,
promising to return in a few days.
She has never been seen since, and
the children are unable to give any
account of themselves, except that they
love their parents and want 10 go back
to them.

Verify the ways of highly moral

Charles ii. Berry, at Natick, Mass,
directed his servant girl to go to Sun-
day school, and she refusing to do so.
upon the established feminine plea
that she had nothing to wear" very
probably true one, the sanity Berry
did most numerically fog the said
small servant. Whats a queerly mis-,

must have He was holy enough to
wish the girl 10 be religiously educated,

her for exhibiting d decent and meri-

of their esteem, have presented him

and whenever there is an opening for
fun he 'goes into it.
Jom was recently in a drug store,

he was in search Of job.

"Wagcs are good; We pay 81, 900 to

whats a fellow got to do?"
ooh! merely to test medicines,
that's all. 1t requires a stout man,
one Of good constitution; and after he
gets used to it he doesn't mind it. You
see, we are very particular about the
quality Of our medicines, and before
we sci! any We test every parcel. You
would be required to take--say, six or
seven ounces Of castor oil some DAYS,
wiiha few doses of rhubarb, aloes,
croton oil, and similar preparations.
Some days you would not be required
to test anything; but, as a general
thing, you can count upon-say from
SIX to ten doses Of something daily. As
to the work, that does not amount to
much; the testing department simply
would be the principal labor required
OF you; and, as ! said before, it re-
