A Shout Sermons for Old Maids. . . . ' And they called Rebecca, and said unto her, wilt thou go with this man ? And she said, I will go.' Gen. xxxvi, 50. In those times, ceremony, formality, sighing and sentiment were altogether unknown. - Rebecca was a good girl, and jumped at the first good offer. But there is another good text which strikes us still more forcibly, .it is as follows : ' . ... .' Jacob kissed Rachel, and he lifted up his voice and wept.' How patheic 1 The fact is, time and fashion make strange inroad on poor human nature. Here was Jacob scouring the country to look for a wife, and on a fine sunny day in the valley of Pandanaran, he saw her at a distance, drawing water from awell, being bare-footed, and without ceremony he ran towards her, and in the language of the book, 4 kissed her and lifted up his voice and wept.' We have no account that Rachel boxed his ears for his rudeness, as in these days of simplicity and innocence she would have done, ' It would doubtless be a great benefit for young girls, who would avoid being old maids, to follow the example of the discreet Rachel of, old. . , . . Do you remember the Wapping sailor in the Mediterranean, who called out to his shipmates one morning, when there happened, - after six months

received an electrical shock; Jonathan, throwing his arms around, his dear, exclaimed, ' Hug up to me, Liz let's die like men.' ' Economy is Wealth. Washing shirts, says an exchauge paper, wears them out. When they get dirty rub' them over with chalk.
