A QUAINT SERMON ON mali

The Rev. DR.. Dodd, q very worthy
minister who lived few miles from
Cambridge, England, had rendered
himself obnoxious to many of the
Cantabs by frequently preaching
against drunkenness. Several OF
them met him OH q journey and dc
termined to make him preach in
hollow tree which was near the
roadside. Accordingly, addressing
him with great apparent politeness,
they asked him if he had not lately
preached much against drunken
ness. He replied he had, and they
insisted that he should now
preach from n text of their choos-
ing. In vain did he demonstrate
on the unreasonableness ofexpect-
ing him TO give discourse with
out study, and in such place.
They were determined to take no
denial, and the word malt was
given him for text, on which he
Immediately delivered himself as
follows:--"Beloved, let me crave
your attention. am a little man,

a short sermon, from q small sub
ject, in an unworthy pulpit, to a
small congregation. Beloved, my

it into letters, which find it to be

teach you drunkards good manners;
therefore, M, masters, A, all of you,

and another thing is meant. The
thing spoken of is MALT" the
thing meant is the juice of malt,

cal is according to the effects that it
works, and these find to be of two
kinds; first, in this world; second
ly, in the world to come. The
effects that it works in this world
are M, murder, A, adultery, l., loose
ness of life, L, torment. So much for

modesty, the spoil of civility, the
destruction of reason, the brewers

wife's sorrow, his children S trouble,
his own shame, his neighbours scott,
a walking swill bowl, the picture of
a beast and the monster of a
man." He then concluded in the
usual form, and the young men,
pleased with his ingenuity, not only
thanked him, but absolutely profited
more by this short and whimsical
sermon, than by any serious dis
course they had ever heard.

All In Name.

Tombstone, Arizona, is a typical
western mining camp, and study Of
its local annals prove that it is true to
its name and peculiar civilization.
When it becomes necessary to hang
one of its best citizens for the common
good the act is performed in sad,
dispirited way. The people are af.
fectsd almost as much by the sad
event AS when one of their daily
papers fail, which occurs semi-annu-
ally. There are only two events that
can occur in Tombstone that will
rouse the people from the gloom of
their surroundings, one of which is
the discovery of rich mine, and the
second, and more important, the
opening of a new saloon. When this
latter event takes placs.th "Epitaph"
CLOVIS and scintillates with brilliant
items, and the TOMBSTONE" gives
forth no doleful sounds. The "open-
ing night OF the drinking palace is
. celebrated event, snd attracts marked
attention. The brass band "discourses
sweet music" while the interludes be-
tween drinks are filled by singing by
"the celebrated glee club" The gamb-
ling hall proper is separated from the
saloon proper by "fine arched par
tition' from which hangs the "mistle-
toe bough," under which the gamblers
move to and fro with "angelic mo.
tion." Tombstone by any other name
would stink the same, but it would
not be exactly its own proper self.
The above dirty fling is from the
Albuquerque Journal, whose editor is
as changeable as are the Apache hos.
tiles, and we hope that his vile Mazep'
pa sheet will be spurned by every de-
cent thinking people of both terrific
ries.
