TEE METHODIST PREACHER.
Mr. Grayson, in his new Poem, entitled
“The Country,” draws the following eulogist- j
ie portrait of the Methodist Minister—
Such thought thev gain from men in humble guise,
Though rude in garb, in saintly wisdom wise,
Trained bv no college to their simple creed.
And bob! and hardv as the Bocks they feed,
Tha Bible furnishing tbeir pulpit lore,
The leathern saddle-bags their earthly store.
The horse their help, companion, friend, they go
Through summer’s burning heat and winter's snow—
Climb the rough mountain, swim the icy stream.
Dare the wolfs howl and brave the panther's scream;
The fallen leaves tbeir bed. at evening’s elose
Itrond sheltering oaas invite them to repose ;
Tbeir stops no danger, toil nor want delays,
The forest echoes to their song of praise.
As, strong in fa.th, through pathless woods they I
ride,
The sun or mossy trunk of trees their guide,
And steadfast like the sun to place and day,
Hasten to teach the Borderer how to pray ;
Religion's pioneer, to do or hear
What martyrs suffer, or what heroes dare,
They preach with simple eloquence, reprove.
How tn rough hearts the seed of Christian love - -
Rough hearts but honest no devices there
Clothe glib hypocrisy in forms of prayer;
Plain, as their homespun garb of household dyes,
But pure the faith that leads them to the skies.
Wit and Humor.
Bishop Ames, of the Methodist Church, w hile i
preaching in the Third Presbyterian Church in
Indianapolis, “got off a pretty good
is known that the in inhabitants of Illiinois
are called “ Stickers,” as those of Indiana are
called “ Hoosiers.” The Bishop, it appears,
once got lost on a prairie in Illinois, and came
very near sinking under fatigue and exposure.
At length the discovered a cabin in the dis
tance. He got to the door and knocked, and
the long looked for Sucker (succor) came.'
The New York Tribune says a great friend
of the late Mr. Wesbater said that he never
thought the statesman and orator so admira
ble as when, under a summer sunset, a party
of them rowed home to Marshfield from a fish
ing and chowder excursi n, and Mr. Webster,
jolliest among the jolly, with his great, hearty
voice, made the shores resound to the singing ;
of “Zip Coon.” Witldwhat Titanic comicality
that negro song came from bis lips, and how
they roared with laughter, the performer, per- i
haps, enjoying it the most of tiiein all.
“My schoolmaster,” says Carlyle, “ was a
good Latin scholar, and of the human mind he
knew this much—that it had a faculty called
memory, which might lie readied through the :
muscular integument by die application of bir
chen rods.
“ Blessed is he,” saith the Book of Mormon,
“ who bloweth hisown horn; for whoso blow
eth not his own horn, the same shall not be
blowed.” Likewise: “Whoso bloweth his
own horn, the same shall bo blowed with a
vengeance.”
Franklin seized lightning by the tail, held it
fast, and tamed it; Morse put clothes on it
and taught it how to read and write and do
errands.
The subject of a verdict of a recent coroner's
jury on a man who had died in a state of inebria
tion, was “ Death by banging—round a rum
»hop."
“It is a curious fact.” says some etymolo
gist, “that it is only the female mosquito that
torments us.” A bachelor says it is not at all
“ curious.”
One of the amusements of the ladies of Par
is hi to walk at the bottom of the Seine in div
ing bells.
‘•What was the use of the eclipse t” asked a
young lady.
“ Oh, it gave the sun time for reflection,” re
plied a wag.
During a recent election a candidate called
upon a tradesman and solicited his vote.
” I would rather vote for old Nick than for
you,” was the reply.
“ But in case your friend should not come
forward,” said the candidate, “ might 1 then
count upon your assistance 1”
The following will tit more than one we
know of:—
BOOTS.
These boots were never made for me—
They are too short by half;
I want them large enough, d'ye see,
To cover all the cult.
Why sir, said Wait, with stifled laugh,
To alter them 1 11 try ;
But if they cover all the cats
They must \x Jive foot high.
Should trousers procured on credit be con
sidered breeches of trust (
Would you say a lady was dressed loud who
was covered all over with bugles <
Gold and silver are, in these days, the most
prized and effective of all belle-metalt.
The world is but an opera show.
We come—look round—and then we go.
To prevent dogs from getting mad—cut
their tails off close behind t’jeir ears.
There is a good epigram on “ a drunkard,”
which we saw in an ancient almanac:
He tumbles about like a find we must own.
For by keeping himself up, he has knock’d him
self down;
Yet if he continues oft draining his cup,
By falling so often he'll knock himself up.

Said Ijuly Bab to Lady Sue,
“ I wish I were as blest as you ;
Your husband is polite and kind,
