From the Spirit of the Age.
THE AGEJ-WIIAT AGE?
This is, says one, the Age of Light;
Behold the morning dawning!
While some regret to lose the night;
And show it by their yawning.
It is, says one, the Age of Peace,
War’s bloody days are over:
You’re rather fast:—till tyrants cease,
Old Mars shall live—in clover.
It is, says one, the age of Sects;
Alen gather into parties,
While each his favorite band protects,
And cries, ‘come on, my hearties.'
It’s called the Age of Paper-Cash,
Which leads to much contention:
Somo hold it money—some but trash,
A mischievous invention.
Some say it is the Age of Facts—
And not of Speculation:
Some say it is the Age of Tracts,
And quote their circulation.
Some call it a Religious Age,
And somo the ‘Age of Reason;'
While Kings and Courtiers in a rage
Call it the Age of Treason.
Reformers cry—“it is the Day
And Age of Reformation;”
But wise ones shake their heads, and say,
“Or rather Innovation.”
The Gold Age is come, we're told,
Never to be forgotten;
In neighboring States they’re digging gold
Instead of making cotton.
Some say it is the Age of Crime,
Of Error and Delusion;
While others cry, “a stirring time!
An Age of Revolution!”
It has been called a reading Age;
But that's with one in seven:
If al) would in the work engage,
'Twoulcl be the Printer's Heaven.
It lias been teimed the Age of Thought
And Froe Investigation:
Men question what their Fathers taught,
And claim examination.
Whatever be its leading aims.
If it indeed has any.
It seems to be Age of Names,
Sinco it has got so many.
It is an Age, we're told by some,
Of Art and Combination;
While I desire it may become
The Age qt Education.

IRISH PRIEST’S SERMON.
The following is a sketch of an Irish Priest’s
Sermon, in which thcro is a mixture of the
cunning and simplicity—tho pulitics-and supor-
stition—that seem indigenous to tho race. It
refers to lho lime when Bible Societies were
making great exertiofisto cpnvert tho Catholics,
und to spread amongst them the knoulcdgoof
the sacred Scriptures. Tho scene was a coun
try Chapel of tho poorest description—half of
the roof wanting—nnd tho whole in a staio of
dilapidation. Imagine his reverenco mounted
upon a few boards raised on barrels, and sur
rounded by a denso crowd of ragged listeners,
stretching out in all dire ctions in tho open air
round the holy rum, and you havo tho picture:
complete.
SACERDOS LOQUITUR,
“When I begin to speak, boys, you must all
listen to me, or whero’s tho use of my wast
ing my breath upon you. And I haven’t much
ol that to spend upon tho likes of yc,
mind, Mr. Corrigan, if I don! trouble you oue
of these nights for a littlo of your peppermint-
water for tho asthma. And havo you got none
of lho belly-bacon hanging up beside the bob?
Then I’il wait till next year, when tho pigs are
all at home with you again for I know thov’re
on tho way Mr. Corrigan. You’ve a pretty
snug spot in it and more’s the pity that you
don’t know bow to save your baron.) But I
was going to bring you all to a task for a mor
tal sin. Do you knuw tho tual diffeienco be
tween the moral ar.d venal sin? To bo sure
you don’t; where would the likes of yo lnarn
any- thing about it; Well then. I’ll tell ye—
mortal sin is of two kinds—words and dcods—
when yon dare to say a word against tho true
church, and when you don’t pay up your dues
—that’s mor al sin; as for venal sin, that’s mat
ter to bo settled at confession, it depends en
tirely upon myself, and it's cute ye ore if I
don’t find you out. May be you think I don’t
know what you’re all doing when there's no
body looking at you; you might as well say
that I don’t know what Abraham is saving to
the poor creaiuro that’s lying, liko a bug in a
rug, in his buzom this thousand years (Stand
out of tho door-wuy Judy Kelly, I can't see
the pratees growing out side <bt the head of ye,
I suppose yuu think you'er a mighty fine spy
glass.) In regatd to the'mortal sin;. I’m tould
you all went to hear the horotics preaching up
at the methodist chapel t’other morning. Now,
whether you did or not,, sorrow an absolution
will you got from mo until you do pennance,
every one ol ye that’s got a ted cow, or a barn
door. Sure if you didn't go it’s no reason but
you might go—and that’s all the same. Tim
Byne, I hear that you bought a yellow waist
coat and a pair of bran new brogues last Tues
day, at Bally-broughcen pathern; where did
you get tho money, Tim? Suro it was never
known that you had ever a hide on you dirty
feet before, excopt your skin, and why wouldn t
that conttfft you still? Were you afraid of spat
tering your illegant knee-breeches? If you come
by such a sight ot ntonoy honestly, Tim, you
ought to come to me an ax what you ought to
do wid it. But it’s true for me that you had a
hand in the conversations. If your soul isn i
as white as a jug of creanii minu what 1 tell
you, there’ll bo a ruction afore long, nnd jubi
lee's coming on. You’ll be trying to palava
mo out of my indulgence by-and-by when the
money’s all spent, and you’ll be so poor that
if ould Nick was to dance a jig in your pock
et there would’nt bo so much as a half-penny
for him to break his shin hone over: but you’re
playing blind-man’s buff with jour salvation,
and you'll knock your noso against a stono wall.
It was’nt fur nothing that I look that pint of
liquor with you t’other night at Dan Cum-
uiing's;—when the drop of drink’s upon you
you’re ag linder' at & rotten tumipj I’ve only
to squeeze you between my finger and thumb
and out comas the juice.) I was talking of .tho
methodist chapel when this spalpeen interrupt
ed me. (Jenny R ploy, just put your hand to
that board and shovo it over the tub.) Tho
methodist are made of iron and broadcloth,
boys, they’re not like us good flesh and blood;
and that’s tho reason they want to bring you
over to them.—Did you ever see a methodist
like Peggy Marlin? To be sure you didn’t Z
needn’t ax you. Hold up your head Peggy,
and don’t keep spoiling your praskeen. I’m
tould tho childer are in the typhus; it’s cino
comfort that I’ll prevent the procther and tho
preacher from coming near you.—Bethescjrin! •
not one of them comes as wo do, rain or shine,
well or ill. I hope you’ll all havo the true ty
phus—it’s grace I ntean—to keep tho heretics
uway from you. They don’t care a trancen for
ye, if you’ll only let them road the biblo to Vc.
And suro the biblo’s good reading, may bo but
it’s not fit lor the like’s of ye. If you want bi-
bles, come to me, I’m bible enough for ye.—
B t’s late you’re after comming to my discourse
asther Mike Garret. Never a heed you
you heed me until you can't help yourself.—
May be now you’re after thinking half a loaf is
belter than no bread at all; but if you were to
say that to the angel at the door of heaven ho’d
pop in your hi ad and jam your legs out; then
how would you look, Mike? Did you ever
cnnio to tho jugon till you finished your noggin
of punch? To be suro you did’flt, but that’s no
roason why you’d be letting other people drink
your liquor for you. ' Is that the sbn that’s
splitting the ould sod roof of the place? What
else could it be? And is’nt that a lesson to ye,
to show that tho Roman church is the truo
church? Don’t you seo how it’s burning tho
heads of ye? Did you ever know tire cqnut of
it in tho heretic’s house? How could you be
cause they aaro’nt look tho sun in tho face, and
put ugly slates on the top to prevint him from
looking in to seo what they’re doing. My
dramo’s out; I knew wo’d havo a sign to show
them boforo they sneaked off with their taijs
between their legs, like a dog with a flea in Iris
oar. Thoy say that there’s is tho only true
church; but I’ll tell you a story that’ll settle
that dispute. There was once upon a time a
great man that wanted to build a big house it’e
no matter about tho name upon him, for it
does’nt concern us. Well what does he do?
Ho go's a Protestant buildor,because, of courso,
the Protostants have every thing_their own way,
and must always have the best pickings that’*
to bo had, by the means of their roguory.—
Tha carpenter was a Presbyterian, b°mf> the
next to the Protestant; and it’s no iio to say
that ho was just as proud as the builder, be
cause he was as big a blackguard. Bnt then,
boys, who do you thiuk the huntblo hod-man
was? What would ho bo bnt a cacent Catho
lic, ono of tho right sort? fur you know that
when thero’s work to be dono it’s tho poor
Catholic that’s put down to it; and that’s why
none of you havo a skrcod to your back worth
mentioning. One day tho Protestant says to
the Presbyterian, T want to go up tho ladder*
to see what's doing abovo.’ ‘At your plea
sure, sir,’says tho Presbyterian—‘Stay below,
fellow,’ says the Protestant to tho bumble hod
man, ‘until your bettors aro scryod.' VYilb
that he mounted the ladder os gay and impu
dent as if ho was Lord Castlorcagh himself.—
But there was them watching him that would’nt
see the Catholic hod man treated in that matl-
Tho Presbyterian followed after; and tha

Jusi as the Protestant got to the top of the lad
der, and tho ruffunc of u P re sbyterian was in
tho middle, and the humblo bod-man was on
tho bottom rung, there comes such a whistle of
wind as never was heard before. The storm
thin blew down Killala Custlo Was a fool to it.
Hool there was the very misthiof among them;
and then wo were to see which was the best off.
May be it’s tho Protestant that did'nt tumble
down from the top of the ladder, and gel such
a murdering fall that it was the mercy of Provi
dence that he did’nt fall down through and
through the earth, until he stuck upon lho spit
in ould Nick’s kitchen! But it wasftadchough
as it was. He fraclurcd his skull. broKe every
bone in his skin, and wIitD^hm worse than that
he was kilt stone dead upon the spot. There
was no more use-tit trying to waken him lhan
if you were to . talk latin to a goose. .(Phil
Flemming, whero’s tho turkey yon promised

the Presbyterian got tho cleanest fall of all.—<
Where do you think ho fell? I suppose, no#
you think ho fell on his head, or on his firm?
No such thing: ho fell on tho ground. - :Aud
wha'do you think he got there? Niver a sin
gle thing to swear by, cxeept lie down like a
drunkcu beast upon the earth. (1 he top of
tho morning to ye Molly Doyle: I hbpoyour
early rising will do you uO harm.) Well tho
Presbyteriaij, boys, was nearly kilt; his mouth
was split open like a poor man's lease, from
ear to ear and, although he was one mortal
fracturofroro head to foot he might have done
well enough for nil thoro was or him; but ho.
got into a terrible passion tho next day, becauso-.
thoy wanted to cut off the wrong end of hi$log».
and ho burst a blood vessel and died. That
was the end of tho Presbyterisn. I told you
that tho humble hod-man Was standing at the
bottom; bad cess to the much lower he iould
be; slipt as easy upon his hunkers as if ho was
silting down to praities and buttermilk. He
was no more hurt than I am. And why?—
avar Dont you seo the reason forenint ye? He wax
ono of tho true church, and. there was’nt a hair
of his head put out of joint. But I hav’ut
done with tho story yot. (Where are you going-
