A FEARFUL DEATH.
| From the chillicothe Post. Jan. 0.

From the chillicothe Post, Jan. o.
On Monday at noon Mr.. p.
G. Griffin, of this city, went
over to Raysville, VintOn coun-
ty, on the railroad, and on
stepping off the car met man
named John H. Hutchinson,
who had a contract with
Messrs. Gaynor and Griffin to
cut and deliver 5000 cords of
wood at the Richland Furnace.
After a few minutes converse
ton with Mr.. Griffin, Hutchin-
son started off in a southerly
direction, and had passed the
passenger platform and was
crossing the main track when
the Fast Line train come along
at a furious rate, the engine
striking Hutchinson in the side,
producing internal injuries
which caused instant death.
A Coroner's jury was subse-
quently empanelled, and de-
livered a verdict substantially
coinciding with the above. Mr..
Griffin says he did not hear
the approach of the train, and
supposes that Hutchinson was
also not aware of its approach.
He was engaged in fulfilling
the contract on lands about one
mile from RaySville, but his
family resides near Petrea, in
Jackson county. He was a
man of much experience in his
business, and about 55 or 60
years old.

SLEEP AND HABIT.
[By Macnish.l

lDy IuuCuisll'l
Sleep is much modified by
habit. Thus, an old artillery
man often enjoys tranquil re-
pose while the cannon are
laundering around him ; an en-
gineer has been known to fall
asleep within a boiler, while
his fellows were beating it on
the outside with their ponder
GUS hammers; and the repose
of a miller is nowise imcom-
moded by the noise Of his mill.
Sound ceases to be a stimulus
to such men, and what would
have proved an inexpressible
annoyance to others is by them
altogether unheeded. 1t is
common for carriers to sleep on
horseback, and coachmen on
their coaches. During the bat
tie of the Nile some boys were
SO exhausted that they fell
asleep on the deck, amid the
deafening thunder of that dread
ful engagement. Nay, silence
itself may become a stimulus,
while sound ceases to be so.
Thus, a miller being very ill,
his mill was stopped that he
might not be disturbed by its
noise; but this, SO far from in
ducing sleep, prevented it alto
gether, and it did not take
place until the mill was set
again. For the same
reason the manager of some
vast ironworks, who slept close
to them, amid the incessant
din Of hammers, forges, and

THE DEATH OF A DISHONEST
MAN.

1t is all over. He was buried
to-day. He did not live to be
old, and yet his life was not a
short one. He did a great deal
of business, and was widely
known. The flags hung at
half-mast, for his name had
been a good deal before the
public.
Yet nobody respected him.
He was not honest; and that
was the fatal drawback which
always kept him under. He
was shrewd enough and smart
enough, but he never had any
solid substantial prosperity, and
the sole reason was because he
had no inborn, abiding integrity.
Providence so orders things
that dishonesty thwarts the
most cunningly devised schemes
for making money. Were it
not so, thieves would become
rich; but thieves never become
rich in the true sense of the
word. Their gains are uncer-
tain, and their lives are thrift
less as well as unhappy.
Apart from all reference to
future state of existence, there
is no better platform for this
world, no better basis to do
business upon, than that of the
Ten Commandments.

furnaces, would awake if there
was any cessation of the noise
during the night. To carry the
illustration still further, it has
been noticed that a person who
sleeps near a church, the bell
Of which was ringing, may hear
the sound during the whole of
his slumber, and be, neverthe-
less, aroused by its sudden ces-
sation. Here the sleep must
have been imperfect, otherwise
he would have been insensible
to the sound. The noise of the
bell was no stimulus /; it was its
cessation which, by breaking
the monotony, became 50, and
caused the sleeper to awake.

THE WATER OF THE SEA.
From the London Lancet !

Nearly the whole sea is, four
times day, subject to a change
in its level by the movements
of its tides. The motion pro-
duced by the winds and known
by the name of waves is much
less regular. The wind, strik-
ing the surface of the sea in an
oblique direction, pushes some
Of the water on the surface over
that which is contiguous to it,
and thus raises it above the
common level until so much
water is accumulated that the
wind is unable to maintain it
in that position, and it falls
down. Each wave presents a
gently ascending surface to the
windward, and particular de-
scent leeward. The elevation
Of the waves varies according
to- the strength of the wind. A
very heavy gale raises them
from six to eight feet above the
common level; but in very
strong gales they attain an ele-
walton of thirty feet. This mo-
ton of the surface of the sea is
not perceptible to a great depth.
In the strongest gales it is sup
posed not to extend beyond
seventy-two feet below the sur
face; and at depth of ninety
feet, the sea is perfectly still.
The form and even the size
Of the waves vary according to
the depth and extent of the sea.
In shallow water where the
lower part of the waves ap-
proaches the bottom and meets
with resistance, the waves are
abrupt and irregular, and this
is also the case in confined seas:
whilst on the open seas they
are wide and long, and rise and
fall with great regularity
When the waves run to a slow
shore, the slope of the ground
breaks their force and they ter
inmate in a tranquil manner;
but when they are impelled
againstan elevated rocky coast,
being repelled by the rock, they
produce what is called surf.
This evident rising of the sea
on a rocky coast sometimes at
tain an elevation of one hun
dred feet above the sea level.
This surf is always dangerous
to pass, except in boats of a
peculiar construction. The
waves do not subside simulta-
neously with the wind. The
sea continues in an agitated
state for many hours. The air
being little agitated or none at
all is unable to depress the un-
dulation of the sea, and there
fore the waves during a calm
after a gale rise higher and
their elevated part forms a
more accurate angle than dur
ing a gale. Such a state of sea
is called a hollow sea.

PREACHING.
From the Methodist Recorder

the stage before an audience, a
.pleaser of men. The mission
of the pulpit is entirely misun-
derstood by some persons who
claim intelligence and culture.
They seem to hold that the
preacher is a sort of public en-
tertainer, a furnisher of popular
sentiment, well worded and
tickingly put into itching ears.
His merits are measured in
proportion to his ability to
"drawJ" just as AN actoris mea-
sured. He is heard in a pat
Onizing spirit by people who
erect and furnish churches as
places where they must be COM
plimented and amused. 1t has
come to pass that in these lat
ter days that a minister is
Judged as to his efficiency and
soundness, by his ability to call
forth applause, rather than by
his power to lead trembling sin
ners to the foot of the cross.
Too many pulpits are but sickly
limitations of the state, pander-
ing to the tastes and passions
of the people. There are too
many more spectators of form
and style, and too few honest
hearers of Gods word. This
state of things is the natural
consequence Of conducting
churches by money, and using
ministers as chess-men in play
ing game for social aggrand-
izement and eclat.
Who can best fill our church ?
OF, Who can preach the most
beautiful sermons these are
the feelers that are put out
after preachers at Conference,
sometimes, and more especially
from among the professedly re-
fined and prominent congrega-
tions. A minister is on the
auction-block for a few days
every year, for the highest bid
der; and while thus in the
market, he is subject to all
sorts of impertinent questions
and measurements. He must
be felt of, as a horse or hat; he
must walk a bit for a speci-
men, pray a sample, give an
exact invoice of his family,
have his face pecked into by
sermon -scenters, submit to a
general turning inside out by
the too-often indelicate dele
gates from sundry DISTRICTS
and all this in answer to the
fundamentally mistaken notion
that preaching is a marketable
commodity, and that hearing
the Gospel is a matter of purses,
positions and convenience.
When the Methodist people
at large shall have learned that
the office of the ministry is
heaven-appointed, and that the
message Of salvation is not to
be received as a mere profess
sional performance, but as the
very Word of Life to sinners,
free, earnest, and unchanging
through all the years,-then
will preaching have it's designed
effect. The business of the
pulpit is not to pander to popu-
larity, not to compromise God
and mammon-but "to reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all long
suffering and doctrine" In
stead of excusing moral cor
ruption, it assails sin in every
point and in every person, de-
mands a full surrender of soul
and body to the Lord Jesus
Christ, and has not a hint of
indulgence in unhallowed pas
sion or distorted taste. And
when preaching degenerates to
anything less than this out
and-out speech of soul to soul,
as in the love and fear of God,
and in view of the judgment
day, it fails of power, and be-
comes a very mockery Of hu-
man wants.
