For the ?rogrosii. Reading Sermons. When a Minister of the Gospel of Christ sets out with the determination to convert sinners, (God giving him the power) he should in the outset learn this important lesson : That one discourse, delivered off-hand, with feeling, energy and eloquence, will have more eflect Upon a congregation than forty sermons read to the same people from a manuscript. Go -into a Church where the Miuister takes his text, shuts up his Bible, and with a cheerful look of welcome to all, takes up his subject with animation, striving from the beginning to the end of his discourse, with every look, word and gesture, to convince his heareis of the truth of all that he asserts and then notice the power such a man has over his auditors. -&11 is attention; every ear appears to absorb the wcrd9 falling from the Pastor's lips, even as the parched earth drinks every drop which fulls in the gentle shower from Heaven. The assembly disperse and feel refreshed, each one more ful y convinced of the truth of Christianity, and the power,wislom and goutiness of an Omnipotent Creitor. Whereas, if the same sermon had been read to the same people from a manuscript, what would have been the result? Restless inattention. The farmers, perhaps, thinking of their crops ; the
Merchants of the rise and fall of
!ry gods ; Lawyers of the scarcity of clients; Doctors of the lamentable hetdthfulness of Old Monroe ;
whilst away over in the corner, you might see some good old Deacon nodding assent, while the thoughts of the widowers and yoang folks generally, would have beei wandering, "lise the fool's eye, to the ends of the earth." God grant that the World may be blessed with live Ministers, in every denomination, who can interest every poar sinner, by preaching the words of eternal life with power and eIoquence,which can be done by leaving every note and uaauascript at home, and t rusting in God to give them ability to preach without them. Clear C:eek, Ind. IJtNEB. "Avery" writes this in the Cincinnati Commercial about Andy Johnson's tailor shop in Greenville, Tenu: "The shop is just about what it was when Johnson worked in it. The bench that he wore smooth by crossing his legs over is gone, the rebels having used it for kindling: wood. But the
house still remai as and is kept in good repair. Relic-hunters have carried off the weather-boarding that was formerly upon it, up to the distance of four or five feet, but this has been replacfd by new. The relic-hunters, however, still continue to haggle a -vay at it, and its occupants say they would have carried off the whcle building if not watched closely. It is the only tailor-shop that ever produced a President, and the novelty of the thing creates a demand far splinters."
How Some La wye rs get their Fees. Last fall a party of thieves stole a train on the Central Pacific Railroad and robbed the express car; but were followed so closely that they were obliged to conceal a
part of their booty in the mountainous region west of Salt Lake City. The robbers were apprehended and brought to trial at Elko, where they secured the services of two lawyers to defend there. The agents of Wells, Fargo & Co, suspected that the accused might turn over some of the stolen property to the lawyers in payment for their professional services, and determined to keep a
watch on the latter. The legal !

Republican, The Meanest Man in Tennessee. The meanest man lias been found. He lives away up in the north east corner of Wilson. And this is the wav he showed "the
nature of the brute:" A young gentleman desired to send a Christmas present to his sweetheart, and selected the aforesaid meanest man as the most convenient method of transmission. The present was a bottle of clarified, strained honey, which our young gallant's mamma had put up with great care to subserve the amatory purpose of her offspring. The miscreant who agreed to carry the present to the young lady.took the bottle of honey, but on the way substituted a bottle of similar appearance,but of entirely dissimilar cantents, tlie latter being about a pint of Neal's best castor oil, flavored for use as hair oil. The latter bottle was duly delivered, and the result was the disruption of a matrimonial engagement, and the opinion on the part of all the young lady's family who partook of the "honey" that the bee that laid it was a deliberate fraud. Lebanon Herald. A Lawrence county man planted a tree in front of his house and named it after his wife. Soon the tree died, and the wife lived but a day or two after. Now yon would be surprised at the number of men
that are planting trees in front of
their domiciles, and naming them after their respective, if not respected,wives and the sickliest looking
trees that can be found , too trees that, with the tendcrest care, cannot possibly live more than two weeks! The dodge is too thin. The women see through it, and have resolved not to die. A Monstrosity. On the plantation of Mr. Mike Brooks, on Frog Island, twelve miles below Henderson, Ky., there is a mon
strosity to be seen in the shape of a double-ended calf, having two heads facing in opposite directions. The monstrosity is also furnished with two tails.seven legs, eight feet, one hind leg having two hoofs. This pluribusLx did not long survive its birth, but its skin has been stuffed, and some showman will undoubtedly, ere long become the owner. Evansville Journal. A story is told of one Meok, an Oregon pioneer, and & great hunter. One day an English traveler asked,
"Whv, sir, you must have been here i
a long nine : xo mis iviees re
plied, "I have sir ; you may well say that." Pointing to Mount Hood, siaid he to the Englishman, "do you see that mountain ? Well sir," he said to the interrogated, "when I first came to this country, tliat mountain was a hole in the ground." A resident of Taunton, Mass., has obtained his ice fur summer use tor several winters past, in the following manner : Procuring about fifty empty flour barrels, at a cost of twenty cents each, he gradually pours in water, until each contains a solid mass of ice. The barrels are then put away in his cellar, and entirely covered with sawdust. As is required, a barrel in tapped. One of the bad effects of the European war upon this country is the falling off of German emigration. In the year ending at this time the number of German emigrants arriving in New York, has fallen off thirty thousand from the number last year. A continued i i 1 i r

Death from Homesickness. The funeral o::' Eddie Coann, a lad of about fifteen, took place in this village last vtek. The circum
stances attending hi$ death are so peculiarly sad that we cannot refrain from alluding to them. The deceased was the son of Rev. George Coana, who ha3 long been a missionary in Persia. Mr. Coann visited this country some seven years since, accompanied by his family, and it was at that time proposed that the boy should he left in America ; hut the idea of the separation froci his mother was so painful to him,that it was abandoned and he returned with his parents to Persia. A short time ago, however, Mr. Coann, considering it desirable that 1h son should have the benefits of an education and associations different from those possible to htm in
that toretf'a land,
light in the eye, and joy in the heart, aud ecstaey in every touch ." The Grand Army Journal says: One of onr boys who had deserted, and rejoined the company under the provisions of President Lincoln's proclamation to deserters, was asked on his return, why he left. "Well," said lie, "when Governor Curtin made that littl? speech to us at Harrishnrir, he told Us to 'strike for our country and our homes.' Some struck for their country ; struck for home." An old bachelor editor, thus in his spite, comments on a recsnt moonlight: "We left our sanctum at midnight last night, ami on our way home we saw a young

suggestion ot uov. Honiuan was contemptuously disregarded. The New Yorkers claim that it was the worst Legislature they ever had. If either the Kentucky or Kew York legislature was composed of a set of bigger fools than the Democracy sent up to Indianapolis list winter, the party in these two States must be reduced to a low state indeed. And yet sone granny
who writes for the Sen inel, over the signature of "Publiiw," is trying to persuade Governor Baker to convene the Indiana Legislature in extra session as if the ignoramus Democrats who compose th.; majority would know what to do if he did. Ind. Journal.

What the Ku-Klux are Striving to Accomplish. The Louisville Commercial thus clearly states the objects sought to be accomplished by the Kn-Klus : "The object of the organized violence in the Southern States is well known and understood. The Republicans, especially :hc Black Republicans, are to he cowed and intimidated ; th?y are to be kept from voting for men of their choice, and thus the Southern State governments are to be returned to Democratic control, and the newly made citizens deprived of their rights, civil and political.
