U.NCLC -BENJAMIN'S SERMON. Not many hours ago I heard Uncle Benjamin discussing this matter to his son, who was complaining of the pressure. "Rely upon it Sarrjaiy," said the old man, as he leaned on his stnlf, with his gray locks flowing in the breeze ofa May morning "murmuring pays no bills." I have been an observer these fifty years, and I never saw a man helped out ofa hole by cursing his horses. Be as quiet us you can' for nothing will grow under a moving huriow, and discontent harrows the mind. Matters n re bad, I acknowledge, but no ulcer is any the better for fingering.

Upon this occasion he went deep into the nectar, and so earnest was his devotion, that his strength scarcely sufficeed him to return to the house, where he was found in a state of insensibility, as herein before related. People of respectability, when they mean to drink themselves dead drunk, should pin a label specifying their complaint, upon their coat sleeve, to prevent mistake.
The other day a gentleman slept into a store, in this place, and aceausted the keeper thus: "Mr. B. where did you come from?" Old North, replied the merchant. "1 knew some people of your name in Kentucky they were mighty clever people could you lend me ten dollars till next (Christinas." ' Q. R.
