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.

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 !” ¥UTPS_PILLS A Noted Divine says They are worth their weight in gold . READ WHAT HE SAYS: Da.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor , For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. J A dressing which is at once W'&nt .agreeable, i healthy, and cf ' U&k fcctual for pre hair, faded or A A’ ' 'v'.T % 'j""j h,irUso ’ m original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. 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 HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir o# # # able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does got soil white cambric, and vet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr, J. C.
