SHORT SERMONS.

And yet all the sermons, ii SO we
may call the chapters of the Prophet
Isaiah, are short. The whole of his
book can be read in o couple of hours,
and might be printed on q page of
an average newspaper. Here, in this
small compass, you have the preaching
of lifetime, sermons of inspired elo-
quence, full of sublime imagery, COM
manding appeals, and solemn warn
ings. There is no mannerism here,
nothing spun out, no drawling. Well,
then, pulpiteers /! why don't you preach
sermons of that kind and style, so as
to give church-goers relief from the
long-windedness and dullness of which
they are forever complaining?
Now, again, look at the sermons
of Paul, the mightiest of Christian
preachers. We have specimens OF
them in the Acts of the Apostles. Take
that sermon on Mars Hill to the men
of Athens if we may judge by the
report of it, it was delivered in q few
minutes, and the Athenians said, ave
will hear thee again" His sermon
before the elders of the church i'll
Ephesus, as recorded in Acts Xxx, was
about ten minutes long, yet it had such
a powerful effect that his hearers wept
sore and fell OIL his neck and kissed
him. His sermon in the Hebrew tongue
(Acts xxii) was very short; so was
his defense before Agrippa, and so
were all his other sermons of which
we have reports. His epistles were
all short. He was never tedious his
hearers never yawned. Few of these
powerful discourses by which he
moved the world, and yet moves it,
could have taken more than ten min
utes of time in delivery. We have
reasons to believe from the Scriptures
that the sermons Of the Apostle Peter
were short, and the sermons also of
the other apostles. Look, finally, at
that divinest of all sermons delivered
on this earth, the sermon of the Mas
ter of Apostles, the Sermon on the
Mount !
We are not arguing that all our
preachers ought to make their SER
mons as short as those of the first
Christian preachers. We do not set
the limits of time for sermon at ten
minutes, or even at half hour. Let
every pulpiteer be persuaded in his
own mind. But we do say that the
greatest, the most efficacious, and the
most influential sermons ever preach
ed in this world by the saints of old
were very short. And we say further,
that the preacher of our time who
follows their example in this respect
can quote from Divine authority for
putting bride upon his tongue.

WHAT 4 RICH MAN SAID.--I can
ride no easier in fine carriage than
you can in an omnibus for five cents,
without the trouble Of attending to
drivers, footmen, and hostlcrs; and as
to anything | desire: | can tell you
young man. that the less we desire in
this world the happier we shall be.
All my wealth cannot buy me a single
day more of lifc-cannot bring back
my youth-cannot purchase exemption
from sickness and pain-cannot pro-
cure me power to keep afar OIL the
hour of death-und then, what will it
avail when, in Il few short years at
most, | lie down in the grave and
leave it forcver?' Young men you
have no cause to envy me.

Pasca, Peru, and are expected to reach
Lima on May 10th, and the United
States June Goth, and proceed to Wash
ineton, where they will be engaged for
. number of months. It is equally pro

connassance to Cusco and thence to
Buenos Ayers through Brazil, when he

sumo furnished the above interesting

Duane's Entertainment.

B. F. Duane's entertainment last
Saturday evening was the most success
full in drawing large audience of any
of the Moonlight course. People love
amusement better than instruction. It
lisa species of mental dessert very lecsant
to take. The evening was also one of
the most suspicious. offering as fine
sleighing as we have had this season
and the lovers of that winter sport only
wanted an objective point to which
they might drive. The hall was jammed.
After the seats were all occupied the
aisles were packed and many stood
throughout the entire performance.
The program consisted of Rotations
and impersonations. many of them
eleciting hearty applause. The charact-
ers of Mrs. Partington and Widow
Bedott were especially well rendered,
also that of Lord Dundreary.
Mr.. Lewis orchestra added much to
the entertainment of the evening as it
has to all Of the Moonlight course.

In bloom, In one Of his usual pyrotecnic

Death bv Suicide.

The friends and acquaintances of
John S, Everist in this part Of the
county were surprised and shocked
on learning OF his death by suicide
on Thursday morning last. Mr..
Everist was sorely afflicted by the
loss of one of his eyes, which had
caused him a great deal of suffering
for some time, and it is most likely
that the ceaseless misery he was thus
subjected to without any hope ofre-
lief, and only prolonged existence
of pain for a few months at most.
brought him to the determination
with one brave effort to end them.
His body was found drowned in the
large water trough at the barn of his
son in law Harvey Hindman, in the
morning. He left a note giving di-
rections about his funeral aud nam
ing the persons he wished to serve
as pail bearers. The, deceased was
80 years old, and had all through
his long life been a busy, useful
citizen. and when age and infrnities
accompanied by constant pain with
out the hope of delivery therefrom,
life ceased to have charms for him.
He accepted life as trust to be
made season of usefulness, and,
let public opinion be what it may of
suicine, there was moral grsndure
and heroism in the courage that was
ready to lay it down when its term
of usefulness was ended.

Entertainment at Blythedale.

Communicated.
An entertainment was held in the
school house at Blythedale by the

repeated the following evening. The
programme, consisting of dialogues,
recitations, tableaux, and broom
drill, intersDersed by vocal and in
strumental music, proved to be very
entertaining. 1t is useless to at
tempt to give each character its due
credit, but we shall try to compli.
ment those most attractive to our
attention. The programme was
opened by singing, We come again
with singing. We think it very
suitable since the Society appeared

compliments OF the evening. 1t
