Here's 2 couple 6f paragraphs on
the back pay question which hit the
bulls eye, as some of our representa-.
tive; will leatn to their cost:
The back,p pay bill stands out dis.
tinct and indetegsihle scandal in legis.
lation, an unqualified outrage on the
moral sense of the community. 1t is
idle to suppose that any amount of
congressional laughter, or any mock
heroic attitude of defiance will divert
the public mind from It's single, fixed
purpose Of having this obnoxious sal.
ary law repealed.--BoSton Herald.
The facetious Congressman who
think back pay such good joke, and
are cracking such side-splitting jokes
on their tellow-members who have
taken the matter more seriously,r will
be laughing out of the other side of
their mouths before they are two wears
older. The average constituent doesn't
appreciate that quality of humor.-

:. -Tne controversy between the Pope
and the Emperor William seems to
grow in intensity with the lapse,af time.
The Pope launches encyclicsls, and
the Emperor follows with orders which
increase in stringeney. with every new
demand. The Prussian Government
mas issued an ordinance demanding that
in future all Bishops ON ther intalla4
: tion shall swear TO observe ths sstrictest
spbordination to the civil power and
the most complete opposition to all
disloyal integriliess The first case to
which thus will beapplied will be the
appointment Of a successor to Arch
bishop Ledochcwaki.. Of course, the
Pope will refuse to recognize vacan
cy, and thus the old Catholics will be
called upon to supply candidate for
the vacant position. This will be apt
to draw the lines between the two
branches of Catholicism very closely.

NASHVILLE UNION AND AMERICAN SUNDAY, DECEMBER 81 1873



Old Winters silent, rapid march,
Upon our autumn stealing,
Fills many soul with sorrows dark, ~
His icy heart revealing,
Quickly comes from Northern zone,
Triumphant smiles for wealth alone.
In frosted car he rides sublime,
From arctic regions flying
O'er crystal seas since ancient time
To conquer has been trying,
Anon upon the Southern plain
He fees towards his throne again.
But in thy march, oh cruel king,
Thy path of woe is seen;
Millions of the sons of earth
All dread thy ''crystal sheen"
Oh, canst thou not in mercy spare
The poor Of earth, in thy career?
Deaf to the cry of weary souls,
He marches on forever;
The crushed of earth, the sliivering poor,
He smiles upon oh! never,
Te men of wealth, then freely give,
And help the poor Of earth to live.

The marriage market has survived the
panic, and is livelier than usual. SOone of

The most bashful girl ever heard of was
the young lady who blushed when she was
asked if she had not been counting asleep.
An Alabama farmer laughed himself
almost to death ''to see chicken thief try
TO climb fence with his knees full of buck
shot.
A true man never frets about his place in
the world, but just slides into it by the
gravitation OF nature, and swings there as
easily as n star.
They tar the lamp posts and ratings in
Montgomery, Ala, in order to get rid OF the
loafers, believing that tarry loater will
tarTy no more.

THE LENGTH OF SERMONS.

After the reformation long sermons
came into fashion The medieval and
pre-reformation divines contented
themselves with homily varying from
ten to thirty minutes in length; but
the Hugenots, Waldenes, Puritans,
Covenanters, Independents and other
protesting bodies, conceiving it their
duty to assert and maintain these rela-
ting to doctrine and discipline, made
their sermons argumentative, and
sometimes spun out the argument to an
inordinate length. The hour-glass lit
orally correspondent with its name, for
it ran for one hour before the sand had
all run through, and the preacher
claimed his full sixty minutes. Some
times he was provided with
d half-hour glass which he used
when a shorter sermon was to be
preached. 1t was about the middle of
the seventeenth century, when Puritan
sermons occasionally reached the enor-
nous length of two hours, that the
hour-glass limit was applied. Many
pulpits were furnished with iron stands
for the reception of the hour-glass
One such is still existing at Compton
Bassett Church, Wits, with feur. de-
lis handle for turning the glass when
the sand had run out. Another, at
Hurst, in Berkshire, has a fanciful
wrought-iron frame, with foliages of
oak and ivy, and an inscription: 'As
this glass runneth, so mans life pass
eth" At Cliffe, in Kent, is a stand for
an hour glass on bracket affixed tothe
pulpit. The parish accounts of St.
Katherine, Aldgate, contain an old en-
try, Paid for an hour glass that hang
eth by the pulpit where the preacher
doth make a sermon, that he may know
how the hour passeth away, one shill-
ling" and another relates to u bequest
of IAN hover glass, with frame to
stand in" One preacher had exhaust
ed his d-glass; turned it, and gone
through threefourth of another rum
ming; the congregation had nearly all
retired, and the clerk, tired out, audi
bly, asked his reverend superior to lock
up the church and put the key under
the door when the sermon was done, as
he the clerk and the few remain
ing auditors were going away.
Hugh Peters, after preaching an hour,
turned his hour glass and said, Il
know you are good fellows; so let's
have another glass" Daniel Burgess,
an old Nonconformist divine in the
early part of the last century, let his
hour-glass run out, while preaching We
hemently against the sin of drunken
ness. He reversed it, and exclaimed,
Brethren, | have somewhat more to
say on the nature and consequences OF
drunkenness, so let's have another
glass, and then which Was regu-
lar toper's phrase. A rector of Bibury
used to preach two hours, with two
turns of the glass; after the giving out
of the text the squire of the parish
withdrew, smoked his pipe and return
ed to the blessing.

Upon the white sea sand
There sat pilgrim band,
Telling the losses that their lives had known,
While evening waned away
From the breezy cliff and bay,
And the strong tides went out with weary NOAH
One spoke with quivering lip
Of II fine treighted ship
With all his household to the deep gone DOWN.
But one had wilder wee
For q fair face long ago,
Lost iii the darker depths ola great town:
There were who incurred their youth,
With a most loving ruth,
For its brave hopes and mem'ries ever green;
And the one upon the west
Turned an eye that would not rest
For far off hills wherein its joys had been.
Some talked of vanished gold,
Some of proud honors told,
Some talked of friends that were their trust no
more,
And one of green grave
r. Beside foreign wave
That made him sit so lonely on the shore.
But when their tales were done,
There spoke among them one,
A stranger, seeming from all sorrow free:
''Sad losses have We met,
But mine is heavier yet,
For a believing heart hath gone from me!'
"Alasl" these pilgrims said,
''For the living and the dead,
Fortunes cruelty, or loves sure cross,
For wrecks of land andsea;
But, hOweer it came to thee,
Thine stranger, is life's last and heaviest loss.

THE FIRST POCKET.

What is this tremendous sfcice?
What can be tie Waiter?
WlilleFs cSsning up the stairs
VITA an unusual clatter,
Now he bursts into the room,
Noisy as a rocket;
'Auntie, am five years old
And I've got pocket"
Ewes as roundSand bright as stars;
Cheeks like apples glowing;
Heart that this new treasure fills
Quite to oyer!iOwing.
ssJack NAV have his squeaking boots,
Kate NAV have her lOcket,
IRE got something better vet
] have got pecheti'"
All too fresh the joy to mako
Emptiness n sorrow;
little hand is plump enough
10 fill it'll tomorrow,
And e'er many DAYS are DER,
Strangest things did stock it;
Nothing ever came amiss
To this Wondrous pocket.
Leather, marbles, bits OF string,
Iicoriueisticks and candy.
Stones, ball, his pennies, too,
1t was always handy.
And when Willie's snug in he'd,
Should you chance TO knock it,
Sunday treasures ratified out
From this crowded pocket.
Sometimes JOhnny's borrowed knife
Found place within it;
He forgot what he had said,
IL want it just a minute"
once the closet key was lost;
No one could unlock it;
Where do you suppose it was?-
Down in Willie's pocket.
