The Right Kind of a Sermon.—The fallowing anecdote of Robert Morns, we tind in an exchange paper: ‘•When Dr. Rush was a young man, he had been invited to dine ie company with Koberi Morris, Esq., a man celebrated for the part he took in the Ameri can rcvoltuion. It so happened that the company had waited sometime for Mr. Morris who on his ap pearance apologized for detaining them, by saying tliat he had been engaged in reading a sermon of a clergyman who had just gone to England to receive ordere. ‘‘Well, Mr. Morris,” said the Doctor, “how did you like the sermon? I have heard it highly extoiled.” “Why, Doctor,” said he, “I did not like it at all. It'S too smooth and tame for me.” “Mr. Morris,” replied the Doctor, “ wiiat sort of a sermon do you like“ 1 like, sir,” replied Mr. Morris, “that kind of preaching which drives a man into one cor ner of his pew, and makes him think the devil is after him.” ^ , and you re plied you were in very deep distresn indeed.’ ‘ Yes, for a sarcepan,’said Dick, , u -v- -e' i • i m ‘ It was to bo.1 our Chtisitims pfi.'ding in.’ sniJ | ‘*‘'= I ""c® I SIMOiN SUGGS, THE SHIFTY MAN.

You crack- branvd creatur’ you. And don’t you know ihftt them that play cards always lose their mpo^y, and—’ * Who wins it all then, daddy?’ asked-Simon. *Sh t your mouth, you impeiden*, slack jaw’d dog. Your daddy’s try in’ to give you some good advice, and you’re a pickiu’ up fils words that way. I knowd a young man once when 1 lived in Ogle- tharp, as went down to Augusty, and scIJ a hua^ dred dollars worth of cciion for his daddy, and sorje o’ them gamblers got h;ni to drinkin’ and the very first night he was wiih ’em the}’ got every cent c: his money.’ ‘ They couldn't git my money in a icccli,' said Simon. ‘ Any bodv* can get these here green fel lows’ monev; them’s the sort I’m a gwine to watch for, myself.

I’m as smart as any of ’em, and Bob Smith says them Augusty fel- Itrs cant make lent cff o’ irte.’ The reverenJ Mr Suggs had cncc in his I.fe gone to Augusta; an extent of travel in those days a little unuaual. His coniiJiration among h:s^ neighbors was consiJerably inoreastd by the cir cumstance ffs he had all the benefit of the popular inlert tice, lhat no man could visit the city of A'l- gusta without acquiring a vast superioiity over all his uniravelled neighbors, in every departmer.t human knowledge. Mr Suggs, then veiy i ally felt inelTably indignant that an indivtdual who had never seen any collection of human habitations larger than a log house village—an individual, in short, no other or better than Dob Smith—should venture to express an opinion concerning the man ners, customs, or anything else appertaining to or in any wise connected with the ultima, Thule of back-woods Georgians. There were two propositions which witnessed their own truth to the mind of Mr. Suggs—ihp OTie was, that a man who had never been at Augusta, could not know any thing lhat city, or any place or thing else; the other, that one who had been there must, of iieees'uy, be not only well informed as to all things conriccted wilh the city ilself, but perfectly au jait upon all subject? ‘ whatever. lo ihe wulovv.
