A lady correspondent of the It (de pendent gives a sketch of n. sermon she heunJ in .Georgia nearly half a century- from which we give an extract: The preacher was apparently about fifty yeais of age, large, muscular and well proportioned. On entering the pulpit he took off iiis coat and hung it on a nail behind him, then opened bis colar and wristbands, and wiped the peispratjon from his face, neck aud hands, lie was clad in striped cotton homespun, and his shirt was of the same material, lie had traveled several miles that morning, and seemed almost overcome by the heat. Hut the breth ren sung a couple of hymns while he was fanning at.d cooling off, and when he rose he looked comfortable and good natured. . > lle Ji**' l -hecl there once or twice • vxvi VYuwe-kw , hr* on liitn ax' .La wa a stranger. Hence he thought it necessary to announce himself, which' he did as ‘Old Chub Ax Davis, from Scriven county-, a Half Hard and Hail Soft Shell Baptist’ *1 have given myself that name,’ said he, ‘because I believe the Lord elected me. from all eternity, to go ahead in backwoods and grub out a path and blaze tbe way for other men to follow. After tbe thickest of it is cut away, a good warm Methodist brother will come along and take ray trail and make things a little smoother and a good deal noisier. And after al. the the un.ler-J brush is cleard out, and the owls and wolves are skeered back, and rattle snakes is k lied off, a.-Presbyterian brother, in black, broadcloth and white cravat, will come along and cry for de cency and order. And they'll both do good in their spere. I don’t despis a larnt man, even when he dou’t dress and think as I do. You couldn’t pay tue enough to wear broadcloth, summer nor winter, and you "couidn’t pay a Presbyterian brother enough to go with out it in dog days. ‘God didn’t make us all alike, ray brethren ; but every man has bis own spere. When God has a place to fill, lie makes a man and puts uim in it.— IF he ahe wanted General Jackson he made him, and set him to fightin’ In juns and the English; when he wanted Geo ge W'hitßeld, he made him for to blow the Gospel trumpet as no other man ever blowed it; and when he want ed , Id Club Ax Davis, lie made him. and set him togrubnin’ in tbe back woods ‘But my shell is’nt so hard but I can see good pints in everybody ; aud as fir the Presbyterians, they are a long way ahead of us Baptists and Metho dists in some things. They raise their children better than any people on the face of t.he earth. Only a few days ago a Metodist class leader said to me : •Brother Club Ax, I was born a Metho dist, 1 was raiseuj a Methodist, and b< the grvee of God I hope to die a Metho dist ; but, thank God, J’ve got a Pres byterian wife to raise my children.’ And I believe, my brethren, if the Lord should open the way for me to 1, arry agin, I’d try my best to find a Presbyte rian woman, and run my chances of breukin’ her into the saving doctrines of feet-washin’ and immersion after ward.’ Just at this point lie was interrupted by two spotted hounds that had been continually running up and down the pulpit-stairs. Gne of them jumped up on tbe seat and began to gnaw his coat tail, in which was something he had brought along for lunch, lie turned slowly around and took him by the ears and tail and threw him out of the win dow behind him, as easily as if it h4d been a young kitten. The other took warning, and got out as rapidly as pos sible, though not without bowling and yelping as if it bad been half killed.— He then turned to the audience and said, smiliugly: ‘St. Paul exhorted tbe brethren to ‘beware of dogs,’ I wonder what he would do if he were in my place this morningf It appears like lam ‘compassed about with dogs,’ as David says he was.’ ' He had scarcely, commenced preach ing again before there was a terrible squealing and kicking among the mules and horses that were tied to tree* close by. He put his head out of the window, juid said: -No harm done, my hreth reh. Just* Cretnr wiji a side-sadrlle on has broken loose. Will some broth er headthfe animal P for no sister can walk home this hot da/.” Quiet being restored, he continued : j “Well, ibv brethem,J will now try to say what I allowed to about the Prysbvteriaiis, ‘ , “As I said before, they raise their chidren a heap bet;er 'jn church, and keep Sunday *nd ndthe Bible aM laru tiie do. I declare, my torethem, - their chil dren are larnt that Westminister Chate chism by t,he time they can begin to talk plain. “It ain't three weeks Since I was oat * cattle Huntin’—for two of my yeariin‘s had strayed off —and I stopped in at old brother Harkey’s, on Mud Creek, and took dinner. He’s deacon in the Presbyterian .Church over thar. Well, as true as I stand here, my brethern’ sister Harkey had her gal a-standin, righ befor her, with toes just even with the crack o the floor, and her hands was a hangar down by her side, and her mouth turned up like a chicken when it drinks, and she was pnttin’ this ques tion to her out o, that Catechism: “What are the benefits which in this life do either accompany of flow from justification, adoption and sanctifica tion? "Now the question itself was enough to break tb e child down. But when she had to begin to say that question all over (for that’. the way it is in the book) and then hitch ths answer to it, and which, all out together, made tnis: •‘The benefits which in this life do either accompany or flow from justification, adoption and sanctificatici are peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Ghost, increase of grace, and perseverance therein to the end’—l thought tue child was the greatest wonder 1 havejever seen in all my life. She tuck' it right through, too, without balkin’ or missin* the first word. And she spoke so sweet and she looked so like a little angel, that before I knowed it tbe tears was ruunin* down tny as big as buckshot. Pve day when I could have rnaukf thousan* rails quicker and eaflvg.ljfc JL jarnt that aii<i sHid ity> ^^^r^^ understand or know the m'.aiun yf one word o’ that. It me up to all I knew to take it in myself But just let ttiat Presbyteriau young uu grow up, and every word of that Catechism will come back to her, and her character will stiffen up under it, and she ll have the backbone of the mattfer in her for life. .“Now I can’t put things into my childred that way. Nothin and ra’t stay, somehow. It’s like drivin a nail into a rotten log. This last remark I neyer forgot. For thirty years afterward, as I would stand at the blackboard trying to fix rules aud principles in the mind of a dull pupil, this remark would come back to me with its peculiar pertinency. “I tell you my brebtren. he continued, “If our children had a little raoue cate chism, and the Presbyterians a little less, it would be better for both, “Then we don’t pray in our families like they do. I know their prayers are miguty long, and they pray all over cre ation ; but, after all, its the right way. It’s beter than prayin too little. “N -w, my father and mother was good Bastist, aud raised their children to be honest aud industrious: but I never heard one of them, pray in my life, aud I was most a grown man be fore lever prayed a prayer myself, aud it was on this wise; •There was to be a big meetiu’ over in i-.lbert county, and I knowed a pretty gal over tbar that I wauted to go and see. So 1 borrowed a little dersy wag in, which as a stylish thing in them days, and went over to her house and stayed all night, and engaged her to ride to meetin* witu me the uexk day, ‘which was sundy. IVe went, and had a glorious time ami 1 may as well say right here that she was aiterward my wite—but a cum in home I met with a powerful acci dent that I've never got over to this day. As i was a cumin down a steep hill, some part of ttje gearin' gave way and let me and tne wagiu on my cretur’s heels; aud bein youug aud skeery aud not much used to wheels, she wriggled and kicked and tore from one side of the road to the other, till 1 was pitched head foremust as much as ten foot into a deep guiiy.and It’s a miracle of mercy that my neck wasn’t broke oh the spot. “Expecting to be killed evry minit, I thought I ought to ask the Lord for mercy. But as I had never prayed in my life, I couident think of the first thing to say but the blessing my father used to ask before ealin when we had company, and which was this: “Lord, make us thankful for what we are about to recive. “Now my brethren, do you spose any Presbyterian raised-boy was ever put to such a srait as that for a prayer? No. He would have prayed for himself and gone off after the Jews and the heath eras whilst 1 was a-hunting up and a-get in off that blesstn.

Many strangers at the Centennial are not yet aware that they can’t get out, even for a moment, and get back on tbe same entrance fee. I saw and 014 man, evidently a Granger, try it the day. He says to. the gateman: “I want *- -o out a minute. CTou’ll know 11R .eu 1 come back.Awon’t you); ’ Gatetnan. )Tes, I’ll know j-ou by a fifty cent stamp. Grunger. What! Ain’t the money I paid good for all day? Gatemau. Yes; it’s good for all day if you stay in all day. Granger. But I want a bite teelt t’ll cost me fifty cents in here. Gatemau. That’s the rule, old man, and you,ll have to stand it. But I’ll tell you what you can do. You can go down by them paiings, aud there’s some boys outside will sell you a sand which for twenty cents. I followed the old gentleman down by the palings to witness his invest ment. Sure enough, iie found an au burn-haired boy with sandwiches, and taking oue through the slats, passed out a fifty-ceut stamp. Tuen he held his hand through for tbe change. “This is 1876,” says the brick-top, arab. Granger. Well, I guess I knenyed that uefore. Gira my' change I Arab. This is Centeuniai year. Granger (snapping his lingers ner vously through the crack.) Here, boy ! I dou’t want no foolin, Gira my change right away. Arab. Don,t you know this is Cen tennial year? Granger. Yes, sholy I do. Gim my ciiause you owdacioqs devil. Arahj Don’t give no change Cen tennial year. Granger. Yon cussed, infernal, red headed brat of a Sata ■ if you don’t gun me thirty cents 1\ \oorau out there and got a polieceman hold of you. Arad. Now, mister that wouldn’t be business. You don’t want to come out here and pay fifty-cents to get back —just f.rthirty cents—aud if yet’ was to do it for spite, w;kere’d I be when you got out? You see, this is Centennial year. Now you go along quiet aud nice and it'll be all the same next Cen tenm.il. Finale. Arab pGfoftns a short .war dance and yells: "Run here, Jimmy I’ve done it to another of em.” Granger walks off, rubo'ng liis bother, ed brow and muttering: “Well, I’ll be eternally dig-b)asted intew gotirdseed if this ain’t the skip inist place 1 ever struck!” SOME NEW REMEDIES Yesterday morning a couple of bobt blacks might have been seen passing up tiie street in solemn procession,* One ot them was shivering and shaking, as if the ague meant to wrench his joints apart, and the other held him by tue hand and kindly sa-d: - “Keep up a stiff back bone Tom— the ague never kills.” T-ie sick boy was taken in the alley where all tbe justioes of the peace hold out, laid down in an old bex, straw packed around him, and then nurse made a call at a fruit store and said: “You know Tom, dou’t you?” “Fellor with the big feet? ’ queried tbe clerk. , “He> the one. Well, he’s got the agar the awfulleet kind—just shaking up the cobble stones over in the alley. I “It’s too bad,’ said the oterk. ‘lt’s awful for him, and-I came over for some Califomy plums. Nothing knocks his agar so quiejp as plains. J,ve seen him when he eat three plums and grow beffgr^rigmi “That’S t® wJft—-too soft,’ replied the clerk. ' "Yjir ought to be in' jail for .lylug-’ A “Some gum-dtops or a cocoahut might help him,” suggested the lad. • “Get out, I say 1 Go and feed him o.i wind.” “Even an Apple.would do him good,’ persisted the boy. ,'Areo’kyou going out?’ yelled tlxe the clerk, as be made a rush, and the M’f d>ftgo UuV.

Git up and less go round the banks and And a hundred dollar bill and leave this town forever.,’ HAD NO FUN IN HJM. One of thj members of the Methodist Conference, recently held here, was out for a walk at an early hour one morn ing, and while on Howard street he en countered a strapping big fellow, who was drawing a wagon to the black smith shop. “Catch hold here and help me down to the shop with this wagon, and I’ll buy the whiskey 1” called the big fel low. “I never drink,” solemnly replied the good man. “Well you can take a cigar.” “I never smoke.” The man dropped the wagon-tongue, looked hard at the member and asked: “Don’t you chew?” “No sir,” was the decided reply, “Youmight get mighty lonesome,” mused the teamster. “I guess I’m all right—l feel first rate.” “11l bet even that I can lay you on your back,” remarked the teamster. “Come now, let’s warm up a little.” “I never bet.” “Well, let’s take each other down for fun, then, You aro as big as I am, and I’ll give you the under hold.” *‘l never have fun,” solemnly answer ed the member, “Well, I am jming to tackel you any way. Here The teamster slid up and endeavored Ui g 4 . I**U LioM| bniLo Lord VUG Just commenced to rtiol a bout-, when lie was lifted clear of the grass and slammed against a tree box with such force that he gasped three or four times before he could got his breath. “Now you keep away from me!” ex claimed the minister, picking up his cane. “Bust me if I don’t!” replied the teamster, as he edged .off. “ W hat’s the use in lying and saying that you didn’t have any fun in you when you are chuck ; tull of it! Blame it! you wanted to 1 break my back, didn’t you !’, Ruler For The Farmers. Have a written contract with all la borers by the month or year. Pay working-men promptly their wages, when due. Use the best implements on the farm, and keep them always in order and well protected from the weather. Early planting is best nine years in ten, therefore plant early. Early cultivation secures a good crop —always push your work—never let your workpusu you. An ounce of brain is worth a pound of mqscle, therefore, always think well and plqu beforehand what is best to be done and the order in which it should be done. Order is Heaven’s first law. Never suffer that which is made to be lost or wasted, preserve it. keep it and economize. It is the saving more than the making that gathereth riches. Never buy what you can produce at home evualiy as cheap. In this way you save time, expense and the profits of two merchants. Never plant more than yon can culti vate well, for all plants abhor neglect and refuse to grow well for a lazy man. Never borrow from a neighbor except in case of necessity, and then return whatever you borrow as soon as possi ble, lest a. misunderstand arise, and good neigh,bprship be destroyed. Prepare well for market whatever you can spare from the farm and sell it when it is in the best state of prepar ation. The loss by srinkage and refa'tening is more than speoularion in the price to most farmers, and had best be avoided. She led him to.thp.sofa, and in a deep bass voice called hj.m.hprboul’ sidol, and inquired what his monthly income was seeing his gaza fixed on her boa-con strictor ljke mouth, she remarked ling, I see you notice my largo and beautiful mouth; let me explain to you the reason of its usual size.- Ween I was quite a child I was playing on pap py’s cellar door. It gave way. I was pro eipitated down into the basement and caught by the mouth ou a. projecting hook, which ripped up my face and ex tended my mouth several inches,” With his eyes lull of sympathetic tears, he rose from the sofa and replied as he made toward the door: “My apgel you are perhaps mistaken. Probably in tbe exoitement of that awful momencyou left your mouth down in tho basement and accidentally brought up the cellar door. We shall meet again in a belter world.

H e ex tended his hand for a shake; sat down as if iu his own house, and presently be gan : J “I called to see if you would give me a littl spiritual advice,” “ Certainly I will, and wilp be cri ad to,” was the reply.

I’ve got a ticket in lottery, and I wanted to ask you if you thought it would stand any better chance of striking the prise if I was sorter good than it would be if I kept on being sorter bad.” The clergyman did’t labor with Mr. Dolsoeker very long. MISSPENT EVENINGS. The boy who spends an hour of each evening lounging idly on the street corn ers, wastes in the course of a year three iiundred aud sixty five precious hours which, if applied to study would farail’ iarize him with the rudiments of almost any of the familiar sciences. If i n a( j. ditioh to wasting an hour each evening he spends ten cent for a cigar, which is usually the case, the amount thus worse than wasted would pay for ten of the leading periodicals of the county. Boys, think of tlie3o things.—Think how ranch time and money you are wast hio anti for what? The gratification afforded by the lounge on the corner or the cigar is not only temporary, but pos. itively hurtful. Toil cannot indulge in them without seriously injuring your selves. You acquire idle and°wastful habits which cling closer to you each succeoding J’sar. Yon may in after life shake them off* jmt the probabilities are that the habits thus formed in early life will remain with you to yoar dying day. Be warned then in time, and resolve that as the hour spent in idleness is gone forever, you will imrove eaoh pass ing oue and thereby fit yourselves for usefulness and happiness. WHAT WAS ON THE BILL. Some of the hotels have bills of fare with the fly leaf covered with cards of various business houses. An Oregon man recently took e seat behind one of them, when a waiter appeared with “What wilt you have, sir?’ i,o the utter confusion of the waiter, he leisurely remarked: “You. may fetch me anew set of teeth iu guta pereba; and improved sewing machine, with a patent look stitch; a box of Braudreth’s pills, and a pair ot number sevora French calf skin boot 9 . In a moment the wwtter replied: “We do not furnish these articles'.’ “Then what the devil have you got it on the hill of fare forf” retorted the customer. NO. 23
