SAM JONES' SAYINGS.
Extracts from His Thursdays Ser.
 mon in Nashville.


 Jones, in his sermons in Nashville on Thursday, said:
 Many woman will stand by the side of her husband when he is dead. and with a bleeding heart ask the Lord to forgive every un- kind word she had ever spoken to him. I have myself spoken un- kindly to my wife, and l am sorry for it. She said it was my dyspep- sia, but it was my own downright meanness.
 Never say a thing unless you know it is true. Never say any thing unkind of any one. Never say anything behind ones back yoa would not say to their face. If you do you are a slanderer-a bug. gard, that's what you are. The man that steals my money is gen. tleman and a Christian, beside the one who, with a slanderous tongue, smirches the character of some one. Let us watch this tongue business. We talk too much. Let us not lie down in tongue hell. l wish we could get our tongue like that of Christ, He had a word of comfort for every one. Wrong no man with your tongue. The best way to keep from wronging any one is to keep your mouth shut. Husbands, when you see your wife's lander is rising, just keep your mouth shut. It'l nearly kill her, but it is the best thing you can do. Ladies, be kind to your cook; put yourself m her place. When the devil gets into you and the cook both, you'll have it big. If the devil gets into the cook, don't let it get into you. The worst gossippers in the city are not women, by any means. They are men. Say amen, sisters. IA loud and hearty amen shook the tent. Sisters don't never say a word on earth that you can't say in heaven. There are a dozen la- dies in pa,lor, and when they go home their checks are burning. They have said something they arc sorry for. They wish now that they had not said it. Sisters, let's never do anything that you would not have your children do. pn tell you the kind of a mother that's fine example. The mother that goes to the theater; and another who loves the yellow back novel better than she loves her husband; and another who is on the street all the time. They are pretty ex- amples for mothers.
 One lady said, q have made a contract with my husband" said "what is it?" .''Why, l am to go with him to the theaier and he is to go with me to the prayer-meet- ing" Why, my dear friends, they are both going to hell as fast as they can go.
 Wrong no man. tell you I am afraid of good trade brethren. There is some of you that will never know how much you have made until you wake up in hell. 1 used to swap horses some. 1 was pretty hard up then. Itss mighty hard for man to be honest and swap horses. Well, made two or three hundred dollars ayear at it, but tried to be honest. I al. ways told the man traded with that if he got dissatisfied to come back. But I'll tell you I wouldn't t like to die in six months of a horse trade.
 It is mighty hard for a man to be honest and loan money. run q saw mill CT swap horses. If I was mad at a man and wanted to ruin him I'd give him saw mill. That would fix him. I mean q Georgia mill. l guess your Tennessee saw mills are all right
 am not mad at gamblers; q bigger.hearted set of men never lived. The black.leg gambler is a gentleman by the side of the man that bucks in his bucket shop. Fashionable Flowers.
