Ell Perkins’ Sermon.
An oxclinnme has the following, which
leads me to make some remarks on tem
perance :
A man itt Jamaica, Lons Island, after
ftrinkiti" too much cider, insisted cn
smoking on a load of l,ay. lie came
home that nt lit without any whiskers or
eyebrows, am! the iron work of his wags
on in a poiafo sack.
This te tiblf incident preaches a ser
mon on temperance. It behooves tis all,
in these times of car hooks and Third av
enue car mb'erics, tempered with as
sas-hiations, to keep our heads spiritually
level !
If you drink wine you will walk in
win-ding ways. If you drink brandy
punches you will get handy punches,
and if you carry too much beer, the
bier will soon carry you.
Whisky made Foster strike Prtnam,
whisky set the Scannds to fighting in
Donohue’s saloon, and finally put John
Sentinel in the Tombs. Whisky shattered
McFarland, hung Jack Reynolds, and
put two-thirds of the murderers in our
city prison.
Sail my Uncle Consider startled me
the other da" by saying “brandy, Eli,
has saved the lives, of thousands and
thousands of people. ’’
“How saved their lives, uncle?’’ I
asked,
“Why Eli, by—by their n-n-o-t drink
in’ it.' 1
“Yes,’’ said mv uncle, thoughtfully,
“that fu-t glas of wine has ruined many

tinued, wiping his eyes, “1 drempt I saw

“F r not lather,” answered mi noble
hoy. “That first g’as o’ wi ebe blowed;

-Mi noble boi !” and then Uncle Con
sider lighted a 40 cent Partaga a'nci pro
ceeded to ask James what he had pur
chased for the week’s supply from the
miiket. •
“I bought two gallons of sherry, sir,
four dozen Burgundy, some of the old
nun we had before, some cheese, two
boxes of cigars, and iwo loaves of bread,
an’ it’s all here in the larder.”
All right, James,’’ said my Uncle,
lookin’ over his glasses, but was there
any need of spendin’ so much money for
bread ?” And then Uncle Consider
went on cutting off his coupons.—[Daily

A noted desperado known as “Wild
Bill,” who has killed dozens of men in
frontier brawls, and was an adept in the
u e of the pistol and the Bowie knife, met
his death a few days since in Kansas, at
the hands of a Texan, who had ridden
nine hundred mib's to find him, William
had shot the Texan’s brother some time
ago, ar.d so’.he latter, as he afterward re
lated, “out with his derringer and
‘plunked’ him,” Having settled Wild
Bill in this neat and expeditious manner,
the Texan signified'his willingness to also
pay hi respects to any one who objected,
and asked several to “take a hand in the
game but the spectators declining with
thanks, the ranger bowed and politely re
tired, leaving William to be buried by the
town authorities.
If you desire to know whether a wo
man is constant, persevering, and ca
pable of purnung an object to the end,
look into her work-basket. If you find

become soiled from lying around, you
may safely conclude that she is fickle.

“K.nw’s Tricks ?”
Thfto is a lawyer in this city who,
for the accomodation of his clients, has
a speaking-tube leading from the main
on trance of his building to his office,
which was up just a few flights. For
several days past a smart young wag
named Smarts has amused himself by
ctiling for the lawyer thro’ the pipp, and
then profanely ordering him to S"t out
on an excursion to Tartarus. For some
tune tliis fun was taken iu good part by
tbc legal expounder of the Code, until
the fine humor of tho joke no longer be
c itno apparent. Accordingly one after
noon, the disf I pie of Blaekstone provi
ding him:' If with a teakettle of water,
heated to about 210 degrees,
waited along-i le the pipe. Pretty soon
the old, familiar sound came up through
the pipe, “Say, Cap, how’s tricks ?”
“Tricks is better n n w—l guess he'll
get WC'II," responded the lawyer, reach
ing out after the teakettle.
“Wh ir’s been the matter with him ?”
“lie got burnt.”
“Haw?”
“I’ll tell in a minute.’’
‘‘Oh, you go to .’’
Tlic lawyer had finished lib last sen
tence and then let a quart of scalding
water down the pipe. Swarts had his
mouth over it, and when the water struck
it lie was somewhat surprised. Water
was iipt to surprise him, but hot wa'er
was an unexpected novelty.
The man above poured in the water
for about a minute and then looked out
of the window. The smart young man

a little singular that the next hardest
thing to getting a boy out of bed is get
ting him into it. There is rarely a moth
er who is a success at rousing a boy.—
All mothers know tins ; so do their boys.
And yet the u.other seems to go at it in
the r : ght way. She opens the stair door
and insinuatingly observes: “Johnny.’’
There is no response. “Johnny.”—
Still no response. Then there is a short,
sharp “John,” followed a moment later
by a prolonged and emphatic “John Hen
ry.” A grunt from the upper region
signifies that an impression has been
made, and the mother is encouraged to
add, “You’d better be getting down
here to your breakfast, young man be
fore I come up there, an’ give you some
thing you’ll feel.” 4 his so startles the
young man that he immediately goes to
sleep again. And the operation has
to be repeated several times. A father
knows nothing about this trouble. He
merely opens his mouth as a soda bottle
ejects its cork, and the “John Henry
that cleaves the air of that stairway goes
ir.to that hoy like electricity, and pierces
the deepest recesses of his very nature. —
And he pops ont of that bed and into his
clothes, down the stairs, with a prompt
ness that is commendable. It is rarely
a boy allows himself to disregard the pa
ternal summons. About once a year is
believed to be as often as is consistent
with the rules of health. He saves his
father a good many steps by his thought

At Point Creek, J ckson county, a

Resident had one more to sell, when the
following conversation ensur'd :
Trader —I’ll give you two dollars for

it’s worth nigh onto six dollars.

“So you have finished your lessons at
the Seminary ? I was much pleased
with the closing exercises. The author
of that poem—Miss White, I think you
called Iter—l ids fair to become known
as a poet.’’
“We think the authoress will become
celebrated as a poetess,” remarked the
young lady pertly, with marked emphasis
on two words of the sentence.
“Oh, ah!’’ replied the old gentleman,
looitin'r thou rhtfully over his gold spec
tacles at the young lady. I ‘hear her
sister was quite an actoress, and under
Miss Hosmer’s instruction will undoubt
edly become quite a sculptures .”
The young lady appeared irritated.
“The Seminary,” continued tho old
gentleman, with imperturbable gravity,
“is fortunate in having an efficient board
of manageresses. From the l’resi
dentess down to the humblest teaeheress
unusual talent is shown. There is Miss
Harper, who as a chemistress is une
qualed, ami Mrs. Knowles has already a
reputation as an astronomeress. And
in the department cf music few can
equal Miss Kellogg as a singeress.”
The young lady did not seem lo like
the chair she was sitting on. She tc k
the sofa tit the other end of the room.
“Yes,” continued the old gentleman
as if talk ng to himself, “those White
sisters arc quite talented, Mary, 1 un

painting and the drama, and will surely
become famous as an actress and puint

To .'iiirfj Lari) in Discreet and Wise,
A'i'l wiii'tl tuao an Iwo nan uro of a mar*
riajp’ablo age, I think it to be, in general, tru r ,
that it. i* whjlosojjie for them to bo married.—
It is not ncc -i-tiry tlmt tlvoy sboulii remain’
linglc beeaaso they stun 1 in poverty ; for two
cm live cheaper than one, if they live with'
o -operativo z->:l, if tU’y live as they ought to
live. If the young man is willing to seem
p or when ho is poor; if the young woman,
h ii g poor, is willing to live poorly; if they
vo willing to plant their lives togothor like two
spoils, nm] wait for their growlh, and look for
their nhun lance by and by, when they have fair*
1• ( nil it, then it is a good tiling for them to
Cairo early into partnership. For character*
aln ;,t .them-dvrs to each or Her in the early
t eri ds of life far more easily than they do
nftrrward. They who marry early are like
vi n s growing together, and twining round
i.-i'l V nu t each other; whereas, multitude* of
those who marry hue in life stand side by sida
like two iron columns, which, being separated'
at th- h'ginning, never come any nenrer to
e ic!i other. Many voting m‘cri feci that they
cannot marry until they can support a wife*
:il by that they m -an,' until they can support'
a house; vei, until they can live in a house
that 1 Pits them ; until they can make a show
until they can live as their hind of people, tb®
class to which they belong, livo—for everybody”
belongs to a class, a set. Wlvui they an do
these things they will marry, but not before.
And the result is that they are corrupting life
in the v"y fountain, Anl when they marry,
t • m ik" a groat mistake if they say, “Wa
will n it arid >rt ik • 1i keep houso : let us board'
Th ->p we can iiave all the comforts of life ; wo
will have all the appearances provided for us
nn l we shall he relieve 1 from a thousand
ciros,’’ There is no school which God ever
ooohel, or permittnl to be opened, which
young people can so ill afford to avoids as tbo
school of care and responsibility and labor in
the household : and a young man and young
woman, mirrying, no mitter from whatsouro®
they came together, no matter how high their
fathers stood, one of the must wholesome
things they can do, having married for love,
and with discretion, is to bo willing to begin at
the bo* rn, and heir the burdens of household
life s i that'they shall h.avo its education. I
fel I yon, there are pleasures which many young
niarrie ! people miss. I would not give up the
first two years of my married life for all I
have now. I livo in a big house, with a brown
stone front, and very fairly furnished; bnt>
after all, among the choicest experiences of my •
life were those which I passed through in I 1 "*
diana, when I hired two chambers up-stairs;
when my furni ure was giver, to me, and wa*

never to he forgotten. I owe many of tbe
pleasures which have run through my life to
l.t-ing will'll g to begin "here I had to begin,
and to fight poverty with love, and to overcoir*
it, and to 1 am bo v to uve in tervute and help

which iovo sweetens and makes more and
more delightful. — 11. W. Beecher.

How eloquently does Chateaubriai and
reply to this enquiry.
There is a God ! The herb of the
vaTlev, the trees of the forest, the ce
dars of the mountains bless Him ; th©'
insects sport in Ilis beams; the elephant
salutes Him with tho rising orb of the
day ; the bird sings Him in the foilage j
the thunder proclaims Him in the Heav
ens ; the ocean dee! ires His immensity;
man alone has said “there is no God!”'*,
Unite in the thought at the same instant >
the most beautiful objects in nature ;
suppose that you see at once all the
hour- of the day and all the seasons of
the year, a morning of spring ard a
morning of autumn ; a night bespangled
with stars and a night covered with
clouds ; meadows enamelled with dowers,
r.:; l forest heavy with snow ; fields gild-.
ed by tints of autumn ; then alone you
will have a just conception of the unis
verse. While you are gazing on the sun,
which is plunging under the vault of the
West, another observer admires him
emerging from tl e gilded shy of the least.
Bv what inconceivable magic does that '
:>geti :>r, which is sinking fatigued and
burning in the shade of evening, re-apv
j ear at the same instant, fresh and humid
with tho rosy dews of morning ? At
cverv instant of the day tho glorious orb
is at once rising resplendent at noonday,
tin! setting in tho West, or rather our
senses deceive us and there is properly
speaking no East, West, North or South *
in the world. Everything reduces itself
to a simple point from whence tho king
of day sends forth at once a triple light
in one substance. The blight splendor,
nerhaps, that which mature can present
that is most beautiful, for while it gives
us an idea of the perpetual magnificence
•and resistless power of God, it exhibits,
at the same time a shining image of the
glorious trinity.
