A PATENT SERMON.
My dying congregashun : It re
joycetb me muchly losee sioh a per-rt
chance ot sinners turn out (o heer.
sound doctrine.
You will find my text in Chroni
cles, page 240 : ‘‘For as a ring in a
bullock’e Bnou', or as a rudder in a
ship’s s'un, so is the darters of Zion
toled away by the foolish fashions of
this evil generation.”
Never, sinre Adam was a baby,
or Eve talked foolish lo ihe old ser
pent who showed her how to make
fig leaf Dolly Vardens, hat the e
been such a muss about dress. The
beef-eater, Dickens, and his gal,
Dolly Vartlen, have made nin e ex
citement bout dress and ho.v to wear
’em than l ever beam- of In all my
from days* Our gals is plum crazy.
Hit je.-t knocks the hims sites off any
thing exient, as shore as vou at lis
lenmg to my gospel tones teulay,
ah ! For as a ring in a bullock’s
snout, or as a ru filer of a ship’s
stun, so is the daughters of Z on
toled away by ihe foolish fashions ol
this evil world.
My dying congregashun: You
might traeel all over the yeth Irom
Dan to Omega, and I’ll si an i a treai
to the hull inertin' that thare aim
no place under the broad canister ol
ihe yeth whare thar can be found a
worse set of det bound men than
now graze ibis civil-zed portion of
the firm amenis ; and you can git no
more money outen them than you
can git nlood omen a turnip-seed,
good lieker outen stump water, or
music oulen a jackas-. Histother
hall has got the ting in Ids snout and
he hos got to come to the liok-loj,—
Site can raise the money for the 1 he
at ur, tor the cy reus or for the side
sho, but. if you want a bill s tiled
for medici e, for groeerys, lor your
printer, or lor your preacher you
stand no shorn, for Dol y Vnrden has
clean' and them out of the lasi red.—
FasliiJn has trumped you outen
kingdom kutn and your hand is play
ed out and you aic euchered : For
;ts a ring in a bullock’s snout or as a
rudder ot a ship’s stun, so is the dar
tmsof Zion tuled a.vay by die 100I
isli fashions of this evil world, ah !
My dying congregation, 01 tie
road to perdition : Ye sisiem of de
bility ; toss your pur y he ids, go it
on a credit, go it on time, go it on
eternity. Y'lie likes of you cut off
1 lie Hardshell Baptists head, trim
med Samson’s locks, got ashy and
turned into a pillar of salt at the de
struction of Sodom ; who sail away,
turkey buzzard style, and lite in ihe
scorn of fashion. You are jest like
unto a peacock who spreads his tale,
bucks Ins eye and seems to m here’s
your bird, your Dolly Yarden, sail
in along, and ain’t - cariii a copper
for all creation. Jes a spreading
yourself like a little bantam hen on
a full setiin of goos eggs : For as a
ring in a bullock’s snout, or as a rud
der of a ship’s stun, so is the darters
of Zion lolcd away by the foolish
fashions of this evil wt rid, ah!
But what shad I liken these darn
ters of Zion lo? They are liken to
that same peacock who spreadeth
his tale, stifeneth his neck, ami struts
affectedly while he thinks he is the
puniest thing that ever boasted n
Dolly Varden ; but when he takes a
peep at his underpming he loses all
his starch and looks as humble as a
step-child, or ajackass in a thunder
storm. I’ll s’and ireat if you would
lake half those wimmen and wash
off the starch, take down the r ha
anti throw away iheir incidentals anti
Dolly Vardens, and they will be like
that poor bird that was not aware
of his meekness till he looke 1 at h-s
feet.
But hit’s the fashion, D dly is all
the go. S- e a Dolly on shu-heels as
h'gli as a durbin wheel—site vvigg'es
along like a cri: pled snake, but hit’s
the fashion. B’queeze her till In r
waste looks like thu-ot a wasp, but
hit’s ihe fashion. See her with h>r
rear humped up like act eoing 10
war, but hit’s the fash : on. See her
with ahull lot of cloth in one jackei
oh, hit's the fashion ! and Dolly
Varden to hoot.
1 am po«7erful leered ihe last one
of them are sold 10 the Phil stieus
and are gone gozlins, ah. For as a
ting in a bullock’ssnbui, ora rudder
of a ship’s siun, so is |he darters of
Zion toled away by the foolish fash
ions of ibis evil world, ah !
My d> ing congregation : I ’w-nt
up to Adanti die other day I*o see
the Great Fair, and I itjl you l seed
a powerful site of scenery. Th 1
whole face of the yeth was kivtn <1 j
with D. V.; there was your D. V.
siores, D. V. groceries. D. V. barber
shops, D. Y. sujar anti lasses, D. V.
saloons, with D. V. women to mix
thinks, and st> ck the kerds on vou,
And tlrai her D. V. skin, sh-- eiuher-j
ed me on: of a pot chance ot green- 1
backs—but thank the L >rd she k int
do ij agin, ah. For as a ring in a
bullock’s snout, or a rudder of a
ship’s stun, so is ihe dariers of Zi m
toled away by the lo dish f tsluous ol
this evil world, ah.
My patient hearers, did you ever
see a bull with a ring in hist snout
and a rope fastened t>it ? He is as
s übborn as oid FaTeo, but lie w il
come ai every pu l. So take a fash
ion loving woman, with a wil as
str mg S3 a bull, ami fashion has got
the ring in her nose and she coin s
to the pull every ti ne. You I ave
seed a ship or a boat—the rudder is
in the sun and it turns the vessel
mity easy, and every time the pilot
turns th: wheel, round comes the
boat. So is a woman like these fig
gers of speech, for ev. ry time the
wheel of fa-hion turns, woman turns
100, and goes the hole hog, I). V.
at.d all, up to the hill. Hut not so
with trail. Ide. is like unto pure
spirits, nnd is a i om'orter under all
difficulties, ah. For as a ring it a
bullock’s subm, ora3 a 1 udder in a
ship’s stun, so is the thru-rs ol Zion
toled away by the so >iisfi fashions of
this evil world, ah.
My fellow travelers o 1 the road io
kingd > n kurn, i once no. and a man
who was amity brag. He went
possum hunt n, and sai l he would
do tha climb ng for the hull crowd,
and ’he could lift a possum oulen a

L 1 by outen a cradle. He se 1 lie
was the best c imer that ev r skin

that mm prayed from the bottom of
h;s gizzard fur someone to he'p It m
let it lot se—for lie-wer in tor cent,

it is with a man who marries a D. 1-
ly Varden. lie will pray to be de

eternally too late. ILilla'uj di !
D.’iiy has got ihe ring in his snout

Ob, hi! so \mn’ve been lo tli.it
obi Grange, have you ? Pretty time
of niglu lo come home, is i‘t ii i
Midniulit if a minute ! I wish the
Grange am! a!l the Grangers wt re
blown up.
No, si', you needn’t mak-- any ex
cuses ai alb Business detuned you !
couldn't leave ! had to watch at the
bedside of a sick brother 1 Sick
blotter! Sick fiddle stick! Sick
sister would be n- arer the truth, 1
expect, ami your poo--, patient wife
at 1o i e saving lor von to spend
your money on Grange dime s,
Grtngebal's, and what no'. You’d
better spend it for shoes, chigivus,
and rufls for your suffering firni y--
You’ve h; en diinking too! Don’’
te l me you haven’t. I say yo i
have. So please don’t contradict
nr.c again* Wasn’t c mirudicit -g
me? 800, hoo! Oh that I s!i -u'd
hate lived to s e the day th it my
own husband should call me a liar.
You’ll be ihe death of me yet, and
• hen whai’il be. ome of the children,
when their dear inothcr is gt ue and
their father is running every night
to some Grange ? I’m jusi mad l>e
ciuse you did not take me witbyou,
I am—yon asked me to go, did you?
No, yen didn’t. O , u is too 1 in
to liivi'o me now. I’ll not go a step
—no, sr, I’ll and e firs'.
And, Mr. Smith, I tell vou you’ve
got to stay at h' me, you sli m’t g >
io another Grange meeting. Won’t
ask me f I’ll snow yon. I’ll lock
you in a room, and throw ihe key m
the well—l’ll cripple tLe horses. I'tl
—l’d do s irnething t-nible or mv
name isn't Sara’i Sinuh, see if 1
don’t, Jumo out of the windo v,
will you ? No you won’t. I’m not
going to have my rights trampled on
bv you, if you are a Patron—md P.l
no’ attend ic my own business. If
it isn’t my business to know where
and how ymj spend your time, I’d
like to know what i-\ I’d beasham
"<i io la'k to my wile yon are do.-
ing. Pm doing the talking, am I ?--'
I’m not any such ihtng. If you
don t hush up [ will push you out of
h'-d, and yon u av take upyourlodg
ing at the Grange as well as your
board.
A report was heard, resembling
licit of a heavy body coming in con
ta< t with a hard surface. Ii might
have been Smith falling r-pon the
floor—hut then it might not.
Men readily believe wlmt they
wi.-h io he true.
| FAILURE OF SUCCESS IN LIFE.
What are the can c: of s> many
| lailutes in file/ Wliydi so many
bright boys and promising young
j men come to naught?. Is its > de
creed by high heaven ? nr, is it by
is )ne fault of their own ? If it be by
! their own fault, then they are to
blame, and th nr ftilure is simply
the pen itty which folia.vs transgres
sion—i; is merely the opera’iou ol
cause and effect. If the failure l>e
through miisiortune or some u.m oid
ahle caln nity, ihen they are entiile I
to commi-seration. Take oie of
these failures. Was lie the offspring
of an ill-aajuried imrriage? Was be

Success or fai me in life is not a
<t after of chance. It depends on
conditions. To a large extent we
in 13 0 : masters "f these c->nili ions,
and make them what we will. A
weak will yields 10 circuinstancrs ;
ns ruig will mikes circumstances
yield t«> him. () e is easily te npted,
another resis s temptations. One
becomes a slave to a perverte I appe
tiie, say to a pipe, n'gir or to his
t uns. Such a man is not fit to be
trusted, lie cinuot trust hi is- I',
tlis habit is his mist r. As he
yields to 1 his, go In; yie'th to o liet
equally foolish or sinful praciic- s,
and becomes weiki.i will, weak m
moral semsi tilitv, an 1 is no lunger
his own man and toaster. He is on
the downward road, and is much
more likely to make Ine a ftilure
t'l.i" the man wild Tills il TTiffiJlGbiis.
IF re are u ofu l suggestions from
» member of the Btiiish Parliament,
Lord Der'oy wh « is a robist, manly
man. He says:
‘•Take two men, if «hey could be
found, exactly alike ii menial and
bodi y aptitudes, and 1 t one go oil
care lessly and idly, indulging his
npp t tes, ad gene al y lea li ig a
life of pleasme, and h-tilie other
train himself by early hours, by tem
perate hubi's, an I by'giving to mus
cles and iirain each ttieir fa r share of
employ mi nt, and ut the end ed two
or three yea's they will be as wid
apurtm their capac ty for exei tion ns
il t.ue<y had been born with wholly
different cons imtious. Without a
normal healthy co idition ttiere cm,
as a tu'e, be no good work; and
though th *t q lalifioaiion cannot ab
soluie'y be secured or preserved bv
any rules, a little co 111110 t sense ami
care w 11 go a long way both in se
curing an I pr-s re ing it. On the
pomt 1 would give, you these* hints:
i ir.-i, f hat it is not nii-ntil labor
which huits anybody, unlesi the ex
cess be very gre-at, but rattier Irei
liug and ii Igetiug ove-r the prospeci
of labor 10 be gone through; s ., (hat
the man who can accustom himself
to take things coolly, which is quite
as 111 ich a matter of discipline as of
nature, and who, by keeping well
beioreiiand w ith -h «i he has to do,
avo (fs un lue hurry and nervous ex
citeinem, has a great a Ivantage over
one who fell iws 1 different praciiuv.
Next, I woull war 1 you t‘ id th
students wno think tney have: no
ti ne for bodily exercise w i 1 so me
or later have to bud time for iline-ss.
Third, VV leu ail opportunity es
choice is given, morning work i«
g-neraily ueiier than night work:
and la-tly—a matter which I should
not s op to allude to but ihat I know
ihe dangers of an over driven exis
fence in a crowded town—if a man
can not get through his day's lab>r
of whatever kind it may lie, without
ar.ilicial Buppo-t [“artificial sup

it should be a ser ouscon-ideiation sot
