Kentucky Paper.
A couple, after a couftsbip of over
fifteen wears, avejnst been joinedin
marriage in Kentucky. The we'd
ding was to have occurred in 1861,
when the war broke out, but, the
conflict, which dragged ali classes Of
people into its whirlpool, claims this
lover as well, He took me side, her
father took the other. The cid man
never forgaye him. He swthe that
as long as he lived the daughter
should never marry a rebel. He
kept his word. One by onehis three
sons passed over the river aud ont of
sight. His wife, broken hearted, fol.
lowed her boys to the grave, and
finally none of the once happwhouse.
hold was left but the patient girl and
her stern old parent. The war gave
back her lover uninjured, but the inn
placable father stood between. He
refused his consent to the marriage,
and she would not wed without it
Aud so the many year rolled away
an obstinate old man-two loyal low
ers. A year ago lie died, "A few
nights ago this long delayed mar
riage was cousummated.
One of the strange characters Of
the Irish bar toward the close of the
last century was "Bully Egan," So
called from his rough, brow beating
manners. Egan had considerable
practice, and the specimens of his
address to the jury show more sound
than sense. On one occasion, allud,

ponent, II dark-visaged barrister, he
begged the jury mot to be carried
away by the dark oblivion of a brow
How can you use such balderdash?"
demonstrated his learned friend. "It
may be balderdash," replied Egan,
"bu', depend upon it, it will do very
well for II jury" On another coca
sion, having exhausted the usual 70
cabulary of vituperation, he conclu..
ded by describing the defendant as
mostnaufrageous rullian." '"What
in the world do you mean. by thst?''
whispered his astonished junior. 81

Preaching in America.

The preaching of the time in this
country is as good as the people are
willing to hear. Neither in the church
nor out Of it is there any considerable
demand for better preaching. Where
there is most intelligence or culture the
chief desire in regard to preaching is
that it shall be entertaining, and thus
suited to attract many hearers who will
help to pay the expenses of the church.
Under the voluntary SYSTEM as it is
called, which prevails here, it would be
very difficult to give the people any
kind of preaching which they do not
want. The persons who need to be
taught, guided and instructed thus fix
the standard and determine almost
wholly the character of the teaching
which they are to receive. This is an
incidental effect of the dominion of the
masses, of our universal-sUfrage ar
rangement of society. In very few of
the churches or congregations in this
country can there be any continuous or
habitual religious teaching which the
people do not approve. The standard,
or ideal, as to preaching is usually
higher among ministers than among
hearers, and many clergymen maintain
constant struggle against the injurious
tendencies of the popular taste, and try
to create in the minds OF their hearers
an appetite for the higher and more
spiritual qualities in religious teaching.
But the preaching of the country, like
nearly everything else in our national
life, is likely to become more and more
completely representative of the culture,
taste, morality, and entire character of
the people who compose the churches.
If this is the tendency, the character of
the preaching will not thereby be
elevated or improved.-Atzaaatic.
