The Clowns Sermon.

One evening when a circus performance
in one of the Southern States was about
to close, the clown stepped forward, and
in q solem tone addressed the vast as
sem6lage present, among which were
hundreds of protesting Christians of the
different denominations, Methodist, Bap--
tist, Episcopalian, and Presbyterian, in
the following style =
"My friends. we have taken about six
hundred dollars here to-day-more mon
ey, | venture to say, than any minister
of Gospel in this county will receive for
a whole years service. A large porto
of this money was given by church mem
bers large portion of this audience is
made up of members Of the church. And
yet, when your preacher asks you for
money to aid in supporting the Gospel,
you say your are to o poor to give any.
thing. Yet you come here and pay dol.
lars to hear me talk nonsense. l am u
fool because | am paid for it; make my
living by it. You profess to be wise. and
yet you support me in my folly. But
perhaps you say you did not come to sec
the circus, but the animals. All! now,
this is all an excuse. If you come SIM
ply to see the animnls, why did you not
look at them and leave? Why did you
stay TO hear my nonsense? Now is not
this pretty place for Christians to be
in? Yon ought to blush in such a place
as this -
An earnest discourse was preached
soon afterwards, in the neighborhood. A
stirring appeal was made in favor Of the
cause Of missions. The collection
amounted 10 four dollars and thirty-eght
cents. Only think of it; six hundr, d.
dollars for circus, and foar dollars to
preach the Gospel in all the world The

An instance of mere honesty, and show
ing how dog may desire to pay his board
bill, recently occurred in Fitchburg, Mass.
A lady saw dog frequently about her
house picking up odd bits which had been
thrown out, and one day she called him in
and fed him. The next day he camo
back as she opened the door he walked
in and laid an egg on the floor, when hs
was again fed. The following day hc
brought his egg to pay for his dinner, and
on the fourth day he brought the old hen
herself, who, it seemed, had failed to fur.
nish the required egg.

Among them was the following: We un-

1t is said that the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Postmaster General have, come to the
determination to relieve the Southern States OF
all uuft and corrupt office holders i'll their de-
par,ments, and to seek out good men to take
their places. This reform is said to be IN pur-
suauce of the policy determined upoo by Prcsl-
den. Graut, who is understood TO be resoIuteIy
bent upon breaking down the custom tina; has
sprung up of allowing the Senators from State
10 name all the Federal officers for it, and OF eX-
ercisiug the power Of appointment himself.
Nothing, says the Richmond Wing, would tend
more to purify the political atmosphere Of tie
South, to allay disconteuts to restore good ieei-
Jog and to tranquizo the public mind, than
the removal of the plunderlng adventures, pc
Iitical traders and tireess mischief makers who
now fill the public offices in the Southern States.
But after all it may turn out that the one swacu'
is to be removed only to be succeeded by
another.

The Richmond Wing in calm, dispassion-

to the negro not less than to the white man,
liberal 10 its policy, aud concatory in its
temper under all circumstances and on all oc-
casions-to stand together 10 the maintenance
OF its principles The Virginia Conservatives,
says the Wing, are held together in their
organization, not by expectation of office, not
by any patronage Of their State government,
not by any bends Of prejudice against their po-
litical enemies who, when in the heyday Of au
thority, were so proscriptive toward them but
by consciousness of the necessity for close

they will continue to be 50, as long as they are
true to themselves, as long as they keep up

In the suit of Christian K. Ross, father of
Charlie, the kidnapped child, against the pro-
prietors of The Reading Eagle for libel, the jury
returned verdict of guilty. A motion
for new trial was made, and the defendants
were admitted to bail The libel was admitted
by the defendants, and the only pallia,iou Of.
fered was an absence of malicious intention, and
willingness to apologize for the publication.
They blundered through carelessness and an
over anxiety to create sensation into COM
hitting an inexcusable outrage upon a family
already weighed down with sorrow. Judge
Allison 10 charging the jury said:
Can an article containing the foulest asper-
sious upon the character of citizen he cousd-
cred proper for the public information Even
if all the charges contained in the article we're
true, it might then be question whether such
private matters were proper for public intorma
ton. This being admittedly false, the article
10 the constitution relating to privileged publ
cations had no application to the present case.
The question then reverts to whether the de-
PENDANTS had published a malicious libel They
were to judge of the malice from the paper it.
self, and not to seek for any expressed malice.
They must judge whether the article was cal
culated to hold MIR. Ross up to ridicule, odium
or disgrace, and be instructed them that the
law in libelous publications presumed malice;
it proves that the publisher meant to do what
be did do. The old law is not affected at all by
the new constitution 10 its application to a case
of this kind, and the defendants were entitled
to prove the truth of it, but they must stand or
fall upon the defense they select The defense
set up want OF actual or legal motive, and it
seems that neither OF the defendants knew any
thing about the article.
The verdict Of guilty was returned after on
" few moments deliberaion.
