THE SOUTHERN ‘WORLD, DECEMBER 15, 1882. 63 THE METHODIST. [The following llnee, written by Lt. Bradley, killed in the Coater massacre, appear In print for the first time. They will be appreciated as the work of a man of culture.-EDiTOB Southkrn World. I hare seen those so very nice They thought salvation at the price Of dusted knee or rumpled gear, As most exorbitantly dear. Just as they would In publlo eat, So do they take the gospel meat. In mouthfuls small and very slow, For fear that they will 111-breeding show. But note the Methodist In prayer. On bended knee wltb soul-rapt air. Whose loud responsive echoes roll, Betokening the earnest soul. In all he does here are life and Are, Ills energy seems net to tire, With gospel-banner wide unfurled, His march Is known throughout the world. Encompassing the walls of hell. He rears no labored parallel, But swift his sturdy columns form, And takes the devil’s works by storm. Brother Gardner Puts Down His Foot. The President stated that he was in receipt of a communication from a State Senator- elect, offering the following positions to the members named: Keeper of the Senate Cloak-room—Give- adam Jones. Keeper of the Representatives’ Cloak-room —Whalebone Howker. Two Assistant Firemen—Samuel Shin and ——*-'Pfof. l)e Hash. Keeper and Propeller of the State Wheel barrow—Trustee Pullback. Keeper of the State Snow-shovel—Pickles Smith. “ I accept,” came from the mouth of every person named, as soon as the President had finished and the greatest confusion prevailed all over the hall. “ Gem’len,” said Brother Gardner, as he brought the gavel down with a whack, “it can’t be did! Dis club has taken a sartin stand on the subjick pf polly ticks an’dat stand will be maintained. De minit dat dls club accepts favors from officeholders welkin no longer condemn what we know to be bad. De object of gibin’ us de offices named am to keep dls club still fur de nex’ two y’ars. Shall we sacrifice principles for money ?” “Yes! yes!” was cried from various cor ners. “ Does anybody appeal from de decisbun . of diagha’r?” __ m ’^•Ves! yds! ye&!” The old man calmly unhitched himself from the desk, walked down to the center of the hall, and, looking in six or seven direc tions, he quickly remarked : “Which am de cognomen of de indiwidual who ’peals from de decishun of de cha’r?” Deathly silence. “If de cha’r can’t sustain his decishun he will resign. Not a foot moved, while thirteen of the bull’s-eye watches carried by members sud denly stopped dead still. “De seckretary will make a note of de lack dat de hydra-headed sarpint of rebel lion has been crushed,” said Brother Gard ner as he walked to his desk.—Detroit Free Frets. SPRING OVERCOATS. party, dancing about and pulling bis hair. “Don’t give me any winter. Don’t sling any cold winds at me, if you know when you are safe. I want the publlo to imagine that fall will last up to Christmas. I want an open and mild winter snap. You see I’ve got about 500 spring overcoats on my hands, and—" “Exaotly," said the so-much-a-line fiend. "What you want is something of this style: ‘All the indication?.point to»a phenomenal winter. We hear from the weather prophets that an unusually late fall and very mild winter may be expected—so mild and balmy, indeed, that people will find heavy, cumber some overcotU a burden, even up to the be ginning of the new year. Still, prudence and the laws of health will not allow of our going without a top-coat. Many a promis ing career has been brought to a sad and un timely end through bad judgment in the se lection of a suitable outer garment. Trust to our excellent jadgment and secure at once one of our semi-season, moisture-proof, mid dle-weight top-coats, made expressly for the coming mild winter. We long ago estab lished telegraphic communications with Vennor and othor bang-up weather proph ets, and know what we are talking about. Call upon us at once, as the number of these admirable garments!?limited. If youdon’t fancy the garment after you have given it a month or two’s trial we will take it back and return you vour money with a magnificent oil’painting of the father of his country as a ■light compensation for the trouble you have been, to in trying our goods’ How does that strike you?” asked the so-much-a- line man. “Down to the ground,” said the little party. "Just slap her in every day for a week. If that don’t fetch ’em I’ll agree to wear one of the confounded coats myself all winter," and he left the office much better pleased with the world than when ho ar rived.—Brooklyn Eagle.

AGRICULTURIST How tlio Advertising Clerk Disposed of n Job Lot. “Who is the advertising manager here ?" asked a brisk-looking little party, walking quickly up to the cashier’s desk. “I attend to that department," said the so- much-a-line worker. “Too late to-day; go in to-morrow. How much space did you say you wanted? Paper over-crowded, Should come in a week in advance. Yes, our rates are—’’ “Here, move slow,” gasped the little party “I don’t like to have everything slung at me at once in that fashion. Now, you see, I’m in the clothing business, and—” “To be sure. Understand your case ex actly,” said the so-much-a-line fiend, flour ishing his pen and spreading out a paper, “You want a reading ad. Something like this: ‘The balmy perfume of the bursting buds and the soft, enchanting zephyrs of summer have given way before the cruel blasts of coming winter, and it is high time that our thoughts turned to heavy under flannels and inimitable suitings, worth thirty dollars and selling for fifteen, at All wool. <£ Co.’s greatest clothing house on eartli. The gentle breezes of summer no longer ripple over the velvety lawns, but the cold winds of the north come sweeping around coiners and remind us to purchase without delay a pair of Allwool & Co.’s faur- dollar trousers, warranted not to shrink over a foot above the knees—’ ” “You are all wrong,” shouted the little BEST SOUTHERN Writers. a@“THE CHEAPEST JOURNAL IN THE WORLD.*** It exposes nil Hnmbngg- It Instrncts and entertains every member of tho family.

The CntMlrlvers’s Theory, The car-driver slowed up carefully os the reporter stepped aboard, and, by various twists of the neck and di verssidelongglances, displayed a disposition to talk as the car rat tled on its way down town. After going several blocks in silence he turned around suddenly and remarked, briskly: “01 have thjm on, sur 1” , “You have,'eh ? What are they ?” “Me winters’s socks. I’m as warrum os a babby, an’ twoice as comfortable.” “I s'pose car-drivers suffer on cold days ?’ “Well, there's snow in bed whin Oi git left, zur. Oi ’ave struck the best thing that iver wuz.
