ROGERS, enera! Su petintandetit 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 free as e sy a- a worn ui coil'd lift a L 1 by outen a cradle.

Ami 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, and fifty feet from terra finny. So it is with a man who marries a D. 1- ly Varden. lie will pray to be de livered wh n it is everlastingly and eternally too late. ILilla'uj di ! D.’iiy has got ihe ring in his snout an i the rudder in his s un, and lie is i gone su -; -r for ver an I devt-r, amen.
