A FUNNY HARDSHELL SERMON.
Tfxt— And w li-n they riz m* early in the luoruiu',
behold fin-v were nil dead corpus**.
My frcns and hearers, 1 will preach unto
you this day—win and weather permitten
—from the thirty-ninth chapter of Issiay.
thirty-sixth verse. And the destroyin'
angel smote in the camp of the Syrenians a
hundred and four score and five thousand
men-ah —An when they riz up early in the
niornin', behold they were all dead cor
pusses. And thus it is, my unconverted
Irens and hearers, that the destroyin
angel stalks about with his meat axe. ready
to send us to the hone yard befo we can
set down to breakfast. An it is said, my
frens, that roses arc red, and violets are
hlue-ali, but its no use to try to honey
foggle around de angel Gabriel, when he
toots his horn [to tuck your tails and git
under dirth-ah.
“And when they riz up early in the
niornin' behold .they were all dead cor
pusscs.”
My wretched brethreing and sisteringes
1 was ridin along the road one day, I seen
a man settin on the top of his fence, with a
double-barrel shot gun on his lap-all a
swetten an fannin of himself with [an ole
straw lmt. and a cussin uv the fourth uv
July, an North Ameriky, and the consti
tution, an the .Supreme Court, and the
President uvthc United States-ah, an when
I hcarn that man a cussin, an seen that big
shot gun, thinks 1 to myself, in the words
of the text-all.
And when they riz up early in the mom
in', behold they was all dead corpusses.
An T told roan to wo. and sez 1 ‘‘My un
godly' fren, if you swnr in that airway you
will forever and eternally ruinate your im
mortal soul, and never git a nibble when
you go a fishing-all; and sez lie : “ you go
to hell, you god darn'd old misshapened
niisgottened, mistake uv creation-all, if you
had to git the grass out uv a cotton crap
with your free niggers, you'd git on a
stump and cuss yourself out of your darn'd
ole yaller hide, and go to hell for your
health-all.’*
“ And sez I. “My errin fren, it cuts
me to the marrer to sec you struggling in
the bondage ofsin-ah.” Amlsezhe. *” My
pumpkin-faced customer, if you can climb
that tall red oak tree there and see any
thing in this miserable lan but crab-grass,
you can take iny bat fora lien ness-ali.”
“ And sez I, “My liard svvearin fren.
I am afeard you will never register your
name in the book of eternal life-all.”
And scz lit*. “ I wont to town last Mon
day to register and I eould’nt get a sight
of the book for them dam greasy niggers
ah.” “Oh mistaken human, ” sez 1, “I
triinblc for your future, for you air on the
road leading to perdition-all.” And sez
he, “You are a dam hell forsaken old
liar, for I'm on the road to Benton.” 1
heaved a groan, my hearers, and sez I.
“ An when they riz up early in the
mornin\ behold they were all dead cor
pusses.”
An scz he. “ Let c’m riz and be darn'd
to e'm all-ali.” “Oh my sullerin feller
creature” sez T. “if you would but sue
grace you might come to iinc that heaving
ly quire, and be maneipated from the
shackles of sm-ah.” An he cocked his
gun, and sez he, “I had twenty-six likely
negroes maneipated on my bans, an ef you
do jaw bout mancepation agin, I'll make
buzzard vittios out of yo darn'd ole swivel
ed up carcass before hell could cripple a
gnat-ah.” My constant frens and hearers,
when I seed that wicked man a cocking of
his gun-ah, 1 began to feel excecdin jubous,
and the words of the text smote upon 1113"
ear-ah.
“An when they riz up early in the
mornin', behold they were all dead cor
pusses.”
J’ut mv Christian hearers, 1 felt called
upon to try my ban one more time on this
objuret man-ati, and sez I. “My blasphe- |
mous fren, you are continually and forever j
dam'd-ah if you don't immediately git down
ofen that air fence-ah. and go to some se- i
questern spot and pray fur yo soul's re
demption-ah.” An he jumped down ofen
that air fence sho null-all, hut he didn't go
to no sequestern spot-all, but my uncon
scious hearers, lie stuck that big ole double !
barrel shot gun up to my reverend head- |
ah,” and sez he I've hcarn a sequester
was the next thing to a conliscator, and
ef thats yo bisness in this here cuntry you
bad better grow beautifully less an dam
small-ah. And my hearers it looked to
me as if a drove of mules could a trotted
down the barrel of that air shot gun-all, an
I put spurs to ole Itoan, an 1 galloped
through the wilderness fur fo and twenty
miles ah ; and thinks 1, my hearers ef that
man don't pull up soon, lie'll git to the
eend uv his rope-all.
“And when they riz up earlv in the
mornin'. behold they were all dead cor
pusses.”
An sho nuflf. my patient hearers, in bout
three days profifanaterdman was tuk up by
the freedmens buro and tried by the inil
ingtary commission and hung fur killing a
nigger-ah . and my lisnen frens and hear
ers, when I seen him a standin on that
vast immensity uv space and kickin at the
foth district, sez I to myself, in the lan
guage ub the hymstcr-an.
One more sinner dead and pone,
A silver snade to dip his prove.
A golden chain to let him down,
A tin pic horn to blow him on-ab.
44 And when they riz up early in the
mornin', behold they were all dead cor
pusscs.”
A chicken was killed in Florida a day or
two since whose gizzard contained thirteen
grains of gold.
Married, in Greene County on last Wed
nesday. Mr. Thos. A. Brown, aged 82
and Mrs. Sarah Carrol, aged 72.
Chief Justice Warren, of Georgia, re
minds young lawyers who arc inclined to
use flowery language, that roses fade,
seeds keep.
Georgia 7s now command 110 in Wall
street. Repudiation of dishonest bonds
does affect our credit by raising it in the
money markets of the world.
To make liquid glue which will be ready
for use always, melt the glue as usual, anu
add a few drops of nitric acid. Put into a
bottle and keep corked ; it is very handy.
An eight-foot alligator, slain in the Twin
Lakes, Florida, was found when cut open
to contain a turtle six inches across, as
lively as if he had never been swallowed.
His turtleship was launched into the water
again.
A prospective father-in-law makes inqui
ries concerning his prospective son-in-law
of a friend. The replies are of tho most
satisfactory character till the friend says
frankly: “Still. I must admit that he has
one grave defect.” “ What is that?
Does he play the accordeon?” “He does
not know anything about gambling.”
“ Why that is not a defect it is a virtue.”
“ Vi>s. but you see —lie gambles all the
same.”
“Mamma.” asked a little girl, “is our
old hen going to he sent away for the sum
mer?” “ I guess not, my dear,” she re
plied ; “ but why do you ask such a ques
tion?” “ Because 1 heard pa tell our new
hired girl that they would have such a
sweet time when lie sent his old hen away
for the summer.”
Farmers are too negligent of their health.
They often sit down in the wind after vio
lent exercise and get suddenly cooled ;
they seldom stop to change their clothing
when it has accidentally become wet; they
go with wet feet for many hours ; they eat
very heartily when tired.
A butcher sold a sailor a ham on credit,
hut, finding in a few days he had gone to
sea, he growled, “If I'd known lie wasn't
going to pay for it. I'd ’a charged him
three pence more a pound for it, the
rascal !”

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. Rut such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
ly this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a

and vet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful
