The keene>t and harshest critics on
preachers for reading sermons are those
who can not and will not pray, either in or
out Of the church, cannot speak anywhere,
indeed read indifferentiy. If We were a
preacher, and in the habit of reading sermons,
We would invite our member critics to the
prayer meeting, where, in their serTice,
they could also give us an illustration in
prayer of their fine ektemroraheous vo,u-
bility. II is not unreasonable to suppose
that the number of delinquent members
would be large, and il is not unreasonable
TO suppose that if the critical members were
required TO write and read a sermon, the
number would be fearfully small.
4 number of young ladies from town
went up Tuscarora Valley to fish. One of
the number baited her hook and then drop-
ped it on the ground to talk to a compan-
ion. They were fishing from the bank of
creek. near which house stood. A chicken
from the house wandered down to the
group of merry girls, and came by the way
where the baited hook lay-sad fate for
the chicken-picked up the worm, and in
an instant was fast on the hook. The ex-
citement among the ladies can better be
I imagined than described. The difficulty
was compromised by the lady of the house,
to whom the chicken belonged, serving the
fowl up for supper, and having the whole
fishing party pIrttke of it. 1t was good

| Last Saturday morning two of Mr.. Tobias
Auker's children stepped out of a window
/ at the hall stair landing, on to porch roof
| that traverses the length of the south side
of the house. Thence the children climbed
on the kitchen roof of James Simons, across
which they hurried, along its apex, to where
ii is Joined to the roof of wood-house.
| Thus far the walk had been delightful one
| for the children, and wishing to extend
/ their explorations to the utmost limit, they
stepped on To the wood-house roof. The
covering of that structure was not strong
enough to bear their weight. 1t gave way,
and fell IN with such racket that the whole
nelghborhood was aroused. The little peo-
pie OF course went along to the ground
floor of the building, but, not counting
few scratches and bruises, they were unhurt.
