The solemnity of the occasion produced only
momentary sadness. In many cases, it is to
be feared, the religious feelings were not even
awakened. A feeling of sorrow and sadness
pervaded the assembly, hut it was not the
feeling that fills the soul of the devout wor.
shipper of God.

NOTHING LIKE LATIN.-Andrew Jackson
was once making stump speech out West, in
a small village. Just as he was concluding,
Amos Kendall, who sat behind him, whis-
pered:
"Tip em little Latin, General. They
won't be satisfied without it."
The man of iron will, instantly thought of
few phrases he knew, and in voice of thun-
der wound up his speech by exclaiming-
"E ptura6us uaum sine qua non !-ne
plus ultra !-mutum in parvo r'
The effect was tremendous, and the shouts
could be heard for miles.

Barnes, who is now about ninetyfve years
of age, being sonetimes-as even younger
men might be-inclined to sleep little dur

in his pew one Sunday, joked him on his
having nodded now and then. Barnes in
sisted he had been awake all the time.
"Well, then," said his frieod, "can you
tell me what the sermon was about ?"
"Yes, I can" be answered "it was about
an hour too long!'
A WAFER-"We are all waifs," he said,
bending toward her in the moonlight and
holding on to the lace window-curtains like
man giddy with his emotions, "waifs cast upon
the rugged shores of existence"
"But," she replied, edging of little, you
are too thin for waif, Charlie ;you're wa

young man vanished into thin air.

scriptural notion that in some way or other
these services affect the eternal destiny of
the dead. A demonstration of this tendency
is furnished by the fact that there are not
few persons who live in avowed neglect of
all Christian duties, yet these same persons
desire funeral sermon preached over the
dead bodies of their friends. These persons
seem to say, Call that is necessary in order to
be saved in heaven, is to have funeral SER
mon preached at the time of burial" Others
think it would be lasting disgrace for their
dead to be laid away without funeral services.
These notions are not derived from the Bible
They are false and dangerous notions. No
funeral services will save those who die with
out faith in Jesus Christ.
When kept within their legitimate bounds,
funeral services are appropriate. 1t is very
remarkable thing, however, that 80 few per-
sons are permanently affected by funeral SER
vices. Men have been converted in great
multtudes, by the most commonplace SER
mons, delivered by the most commonplace
preachers men have been converted in bar
rooms, in bathrooms, in their ordinary places
of business, on land and on sea on the gal
lows and on the cross in the discharge Of the
legitimate duties of life, and iu the prosecu.
ton of plans of murder; but who ever heard
of conversion at funeral? Generally, the
masses return from funeral "lke SOW that
was washed to her wallowing in the mire." :"
