PUEg CHASED SERMON.PREACE CEK-
ING.
ING.

The danger of preaching purchased ser
mons has had very remarkable and Curl
Gus illustration recently in small town in
Sussex. The curate had been absent for
week or SO, taking his holidays. The first
Sunday after his return, he took the morn
ing service, while the rector officiated for a
friend in neighboring church; but the
rector was present in the evening to preach
after the curate had read prayers. The
sermon in the morning was considered 80
good that the congregation congratulated
themselves upon the effects which the
change of air had on the preachers style
and power generally. In the evening the
rector assembled the pulpit, and gave out
the same text which had formed the sub
ject of the curate's discourse in the morn
ing. Very soon, however, those who were
there in the forenoon found that it was
not only the same text, but the same SER
mon, and their faces assumed varieties
of expressions. There were not many
placid countenances in the whole church,
with the exception of the preachers, who
went on quite unconsciously. There was
one face that bore upon it painful ex-
preston, and that was the eurate's. The
more he tried to appear severe and in
different, the more he looked abashed and
intensely Mortified. In short, the two
worthy personages had, unknown to each
other, purchased copy of the same SER
mon, and they had the ill-luck to deliver it
without communication with each other.
Nothing, it is said, has come of this little
misadventure beyond harmless joke OR
two. How the rector and curate got on is
not stated, but the villagers are good-na-
tured people, and the sexton-of course
regular attendant at church--declares that
the oftener he hears sermon, the better
he likes it.

TEzE AUSTR FERN TREE.

This beautiful tree has not been much
known in California until lately, and the
plants have always been high priced and
difficult to procure, but now, thanks to en-
terprising propagation, they may be
had of any nurserynan at reasonable
price.
This tree is native of Australia, and is
there much priced for its timber and also
as an ornamental tree. In Australia it is
called the ''silky oak," because it's leaves
are silvered ON the under sides. In habit
it is unlike other Australian trees that
grow up rapidly and then become scraggy,
like some of the acacias and the eucalyptus
tribe. 1t pursues d steady growth, has
fine fern-like foliage, and improves in
shape as it grows older, until it becomes
a stately tree. In its native country it at
tains height of eighty feet.
One writer describes the tree as "a hand
some evergreen tree of broad spreading,
comic form, dense, divided foliage, similar
to that of the China tree, with very neat,
broad, fern-iko, frondose leaves. 1t keeps
It's shape well balanced against strong Winds
The timber is good for domestic utensils
frewood, &C. Some of its kindred grevil-
leas are turned to use as dyes and medi-
cines for bowel complaints. Some have
edible nuts and some exude honey that
is boiled to thickened syrup, for coughs,
&C."

TERRanLE DISCOVERY.

Somebody has discovered that English
women do great deal of habitual swear

by no means certain that they will thank him

is quite as common among American ladies,
we give them the benefit Of this explanation.

ception, recognized this fundamental
truth that the newspaper is infinitely
the best medium for reaching the public.
This is the conclusion of every business
manrwho has devoted his attention to
the subject of advertising. The expert
ence of nearly all is the same. At the
commencement they invest largely in
handbills, advertising dodgers, the rocks,
fences, and all the numerous means
which Yankee genius and Yankee thrift
have turned to account for this purpose.
But after trying all these, they sooner or
later learn that the best return is from
the money invested in the columns of a
good newspaper.

THE BAkSON'S LEUS e.

Among the bravest and most energetic
Of the Silesian noblemen who gave trouble
to Frederick the Great of Prussia was
Baron Lieben. Once upon time crowd
of riotous peasants came to the Baron's
castle of Falconberg, making the most out
rageous demands, threatening to burn, kill
and lay waste if their demands were not
complied with. The nobleman retired to
his armorial chamber, and directed that
the deputation be admitted. The aggres-
sive peasants to the number of fifty or
more, well heated with liquor, entered the
room, and when they were all in the Baron
shut the heavy oaken door and locked it
and threw they key out through the open
window then he sat down upon his sofa;
with powder barrel at his elbow, and
taking from his mouth well-hghted cigar
which he had been smoking, he ex-
claimed, in tones of dire and Nreadful
wrath:
'fMiscreants, if you do not INN ediately
60 down upon your knees and ask my par
don, and then go out at yonder window,
will apply my cigar to this barrel of pow
der, and We will all go to destruction TO-
getherl"
The effect was magical. The peasants
knew the old warrior too we'll to think of
doubling the truth of his diabolical threat.
Down they went upon their knees, sobered
enough to ask his pardon, and then they
went out at the window, after the key,
much preferring the risk of injury from the
leap to remaining in the ncighborhood of
that dreadful magazine, with the lighted
cigar of the Baron Lieben i'll such terrible
juxtaposition.

No ONE can pass along our streets
without being struck with the amount of
money expended in advertising by means
of dodgers, posters and circulars. AS all
roads lead to Jerusalem, so all advertising
brings business. But as there is but one
obvious way of getting to Jerusalem, 50
there is but one direct and unvaryihg
method of advertising; and that one
method is to use the columns of news
paper. The newspaper in America is the
recognized medium for all public infor-
nation. To it the people turn with one
accord. There is no other means of COM
municating with the public that COM
pares with it. The poor man can not do
without it; neither can the rich man.
The reader who looks to it to learn the
news of the day, the probable current
Of events and their consequences, the
weather of the afternoon, the amuse-
ments of the evening, naturally looks to
it also when he needs any article of use
or luxury. He instinctively looks over
its advertising columns even when he is
not sure whether he lacks anything or
not. 1t is no exaggeration to say that by
its regular readers the advertising col
umns of a newspaper are consulted as
regularly as its news or its opinions
Besides this regular constituency which
every newspaper possesses. and no other
agent but newspaper can expect to
reach, the newspaper addresses itself
to the attention of the casual inquirer
much more frequently, and, what is most
to the purpose, much more attractively,
than the quack advertisement. The
houses which have advertised most freely
and derived the greatest benefit from
their expenditure have, without an ex-

POLE or hole?-that is the absorbing
question for the Howgate Expedition to
settle. Americas Symmes has so much
faith in the doctrines of his father that
he desires to accompany the Expedition
and take peep into the cavity which he
is confident exists, and his wishes certainly
should be gratifed. 1t is of the utmost
Importance for us to know whether the
North Pole is really pole or a hole,
although, practically speaking, the pole
is probably to be preferred.
