Purchased Sermon. Preaching.

The danger of preaching purchased
sermons has had a very remarkable and
curious illustration recently in a small
town in Sussex. The curate had been
absent for week or SO, taking his holi.
days. The first Sunday after his return,
he took the morning service, while the
rector otiiciated for friend in a neigh.
boring church; but the rector was pres
ent in the evening to preach after the
curate had read prayers. The sermon in
the morning WAS considered SO good that
the con- regatlOn congratulated them
selves upon the effects which the change
of air had on the preachers style and
power generally. In the evening the
rector aseended the pulpit, and gave out
the same text which had formed the
subject of the curate's discourse in the
morning. Very soon, however, those
who were there in the forenoon found
that it was not only the same text, but
the same sermon, and their faces ASSUME
ed a variety of expressions. There
were not many placid countenances in
the whole church, with the exception OF
the preachers, who went on quite I'M
consciously. There was one face that
bore upon it painful expression, and
that was the curate's. The more he tried
to appear severe and indifferent the
more he looked abashed and intensely
Mortified. In short, the two worthy per
sonages had, unknown to each other,
purchased copy of the same sermon,
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.

not see why it is not just as romantic,
too, for graduate of Harvard, now
student at its Divinity School, to be dis
covered in head waiter at hotel, as
for an Italian nobleman to be found out
serving as waiter at Delmonico's. The
story Of one of the latter, so discovered
by New York society few years ago, is
still fresh in the memories of all.
"Leaders of ton" took him up, and he
finally married the daughter of
wealthy resident physician in New York.
But then society considered his serving
in what is usually thought mental sit

pie who petted him would be loftily in

American who proves his innate nobility

Telling Bad News.

ONE of the hardest things on earth to
do is to break sad news to people. You
never can tell exactly how it is going to
strike them. They may faint, or they
may go into a paroxysm of grief, or
they may stand it with stony calmness.
But generally they do what you least
expect, and that is why it makes it so
hard to tackle them. A Northern New
Hampshire Deacon had very embar-
RAISING time of 1t recently when on one
of these sad errands. He called upon a
bereaved citizen, and, assuming an ex-
preston of countenance sufficiently
lugubrious to dull the edge of jack
knife, said: "My dear friend, don't be
alarmed" Immediately the citizen,
who had up to that moment shown no
sign of alarm, began to look scared.
Such is the contrariness of human ma
ture. The Deacon continued: "This
is a world of sorrow and tribulation,
and we ought to nerve ourselves to bear
its Ills Deacon, what're you driving
atP" asked the now thoroughly aroused
citizen. "It's always hard duty to be
the bearer of i'll news,'' said the Deacon.

growing more nervous every instant.
+" Can you stand news of bereavement"
asked the Deacon. ssGood heavens, I'll
try! Is it very bad? Do tell me what

man. "You won't faintp" "No, no!
But if you keep me in this suspense l
shall!" And the citizen was in such a
state of scare that he shook all over and
was as white as sheet. "Well, bear it
with Christian resignation, my dear
FRIEND" said the Deacon. "Your moth
er-in-law-now don't lose your self
coHtrol-your mother-in-law is dead"
The look of Mortified anxiety, grief and
despair passed from the citizens face.
A look of supreme disgust took its
place. "You great IDIOT" he cried,

time to tell me thatp Don't YOU know

THE Princess of Wales is a picture of
modest good taste as she walks the deck

and sailors hats always crown their
