TEXAS DEACONS.

We might have evolved from the depth Of
our inner consciousness the truth that Texas
is bad place tor Deacons One of these
humble servants Of religion experienced the
melancholy truth the other day at a protracted
meeting at Norsworth's. The good were there
to be made better; the bad were there enjoying
themselves, and the Deacon was there exhort
ing and preserving the peace. Certain mai
deus of the church, it appears, bad somewhat
hack -slidden," and had therefore been re-
qucstcd to occupy back seats in the congrega-
ton. While the Deacon was eloquently hold
ing forth, his special topic being the lapses Of
these the little sisters, what was bis horror and in
dignatiou at beholding them on the back seats
aforesaid actually laughing, chatting, and firt-
ing generally with those dangerous Wild beasts
sometimes called "fellers. Poor girls they
didn't look 10 the least unhappy, nor did they
seem to care one dot for the Deacon or his dis
course. The good old man naturally lost his
temper Possibly, unless the matter should
then and there be stopped. he foresaw inves:
tgatuns and statements aud epistollzlng and
trials and afidavits and heaven knows what
else beside, and all without end. He
was equal to the emergency AS the
Speaker of the House of Commons names"
refractory members SO the Deacon named these
reckless assies Their trlvolity he denounced.
lnclr uUGuaTOCu DcIdVlOI Nc oltSLuatiASu'
Their future fate he set forth with all its fiery
and sulphurous pecullarites, in way calculat-
ed to make their hair stand on end-at least all
oft which they could truly call their own.
Their chevaliers were also Included 10 the Dea-
cons warm prophecies; and naturally these
chevaiers didn't like it-not, of course, upon
their own accountc-they could stand it but
for the Deacon to say such things Of helpless
Young women was au offense against gaantry
not to be forgiven.
So it happened that within four-and-twenty
hours the Deacou's physioguomy underwent q
striking change into something rich and strange.
1t was wckedly DONE They asek the Deacon
for private conference in the grove. lie
thought them pcnitcnt and he went to meet
them, expecting them of course, to say that they
we're sorry. Well, they didn't. 10 fact, as if
they didn't feel that they had quite enough sin
on hand yet for good, rousing, wholesale re-
peutauce, they feel atoul of the Deacon, and
did so hammer, maui. bruise, pound pummel,
and otherwise assault him that he LETT the sa-
cred grove the worst battered and most varie
gated Deacon in all Texas. 1t isn't likely that
he will hereafter be so personal 10 his remarks.
We favor good, strong preaching. We haven t
the least doubt of the pressing need OF it IN
Texas, or even in New York. As rule. we
caunot approve of flirting in sermon time. Still,
we question the right Of a Deacon, or even ofa
regular Pastor, to mention members of the con-
yregation by name in his exhortaton. Such a
liberty leads to uupleasantness. 1t hurts prl-
yate feeling 1t would hardly do hcre-it is
certainly specially dangerous business ln
