Til E N OUT H S V A It 0 L I N I i ii V N . C. 1 For the Carolinian. Meeting of the Bacchanalian Club for the pur pose of celebrating Christmas appropriately.' The Meeting was called to order by a mo tion made by Mr Vagus, who moved that the Hon. Mr Profligatus take . the Chair, The motion was -agreed to. The Chairman arose and said1: "Gentlemen. King Bacchus will be here in a few minutes : you know whom I mean, Ar gutus the great. But gentlemen, I must ex press to you my profound thanks, for the very deserved compliment you have conferred on me by making me president of your meeting, jJet the eartli quake and the Ocean tremble, and let the immensity of space shower down on u? its curse generally but I will never desert you. . . .. ' ' . I I am one of the noblest works of mankind- and honest man,' 'and if I don't discharge tjfe duties of this meeting correctly, why then some of you tell me of it, that's all. Here t lie president took his seat amid a loud tall fur a treat from the chair. Vagus moved that the mectijig proceed to business. He was decidedly in favor of the treat, but thought there were other gentlemeu present who would l.ke'to stand treat, and! he poped the members of the society wouldj prterye order until all could be heard, and then all would have a grand glorification The treit was suspended, for a short time only. Sarscullotes was then loudly called for. Sarsculottes said Mr President, I don't spe the necessity; for all this fuss and feathersjif yon are going to do any thing, why don't ypu do it ? that's the question. My notion is tip's -relative to this meeting if a pigeon kills a pigeon, let him always hide the feathers ; thaj-'s my doctrine : and if you eat snu-ke, hide the skin ; for, if you dont, some other snake migh come along and .see the' skin and kick up a. fuss til-out it. (Loud calls for drinks.) The speaker being interrupted, 'became confused and to6k his sent. ' " ! Sanseouei, a brother of Sauscullotts, Was next called for, but being very free and easy (dead drunk) declined speaking. 1 Shanghai -attempted to make a very few re marks, but was so tall, thai the society Vetoed spcakablcs, and invited him to hand down Ids s-peech with a little nutmeg: The President then said there were some res olutions, in the house he would he glad to hear from. (Cries of "the resolutions.'5) f ignoramus, Ksq., arose amid enthusiastic shouts and said: I Misser President, Pse been for some time 'thout sayiu looken on here anything but l have got some"t'.solutions Inyi guiue to offer to this meetin. . The 1st preamble I am guiu to offer is this: Wharas, There is a mighty fuss kicked tip about us what wants to take a dram now and tli en. ' J 2nd Wharas, I think people had a darned sight butter tend to their own bizrtess than to be troublin us good sitizens. , Tharfore, Resolved That whoever wants a dram, will take it by himself) if he feels like (t, or otherwise. I Resolved, That when man is axed to driuV he will drink in course. J In sportiu these I might say a good deal Mr President : but I wont, cause I dont thitk it beariu on the pint in view. f Ihe resolutions Were unanimously adopted,! Incomes Jiacchus. I s President "Here Bacchus take this seat If Bacchus Well hie, boys what hie, you qui bout here? hie, been having a hie gloritioatiqn tioi i. thou t let tin hie, me know anythiu hie." bout President "We assure you sir, that we hate the most profound regard for you. The SuL Moon ayd Stars in all their brilliancy migjU darken the universe, before we would deign fo forsake you or cease to do you homage." Bacchus "All hie, right boys what haVe you got to drink? come up boys til of you." Cries "We'll all driiik with vou." I The meeting then adjourned to Mike Slo- can's grocery en masse, where the day was rc li -udy and ai propriately celebrated. xf , , ; . i A bFUMo.v. It hardly stems possible tha'J. the subjoined specimen of "Pulpit exercise in Texas" can he'authentie; and yet we are inform ed by a brother Ktlftor in that region, that lit is entirely true, he himself having heard it det Iveied. "One of those zealous preachers whp draw illstration from everything, and suffer uh opportunity to pass at all admitting of a niorf sal, arrived at his log church one morning quit! late, and took for his text: "JIa reel not:" and then went on in the following strain, in his pel ciiliurly.na.su!.' half singing voice: "My friendi th- scripture sirs, 'marvel not.' and hence it ii wrong to mnreLs-er. As I was riding along this iiiorning-er on my way to this place, J happened to look up, and I seen a parcel o ' boys .playing .marvels-er There Was a leait boy, so thin that it seemed if he had been a lit - tie thinner, the wind when it blew, would blow him away-cr; ami there was a fat bov there, s fat, that if he had been a little fatter, he.woulq have been as wide as he was higher-er. Am they were playing ruarvels-er; and I heard . what ho said-er. And soon I heard the leaii f)vV, that it seemed as though he had been sj lrtt!erthiner, the wind when it blew would blow him away-er, say Tm fat.' And he Iied-er; foj iie was no more fat than I was-er. And then they played agin-er; and I heard the fat boy so fat that if he had been a little fatter, h would have looked almost as wide as he wa hiirh-er. say 'Tin lean;" and he lied-er. for he was no more lean than I was-er, and there came up a boy spry as a criefcet-er, and he kept running about and skipping, and jumping anc sbouting-er. And he played with the rest; anc in aclittle while I heard him say, "By golly I am dead-er." And he lied; for he was no mord dead than I was-er. NVv my brethren, the Scripture says, "thou shalt not lie-er; and yott see marvelling leads to lymg-er. And you see how wrong it is to marvel.

Now, what is the manner and matter of this preacher? The inquiring visitor sees a shoii, square-built man enter, with a 'round, palfil looking face, relieved, however, by expressive dark eyes and a profusion of black hair parted in the middle. His reading -and prayer1-. iin which there is nothings ?erZskgula niilcslt be a " familiarity SugiabFiif"trw which he addresses the Throne of Gi;ice, h:e begins his sermon. If it have reference to the full of Adam and expiation. of sin through fait i in Jesus Christ, he lets his 'audience know, in jovial kind of tone, that he is about to amuse them. lie looks intently to the farthest cornej of the house, and exclaims " Holloa, Adam ,! where art thou, Adam ?" In the prestiinption that Adam is afraid to face such a congregation in answer to such a summons, he makes the father of mankind reply tremulously,,IIere ami I; what wonldst thou?" " What would I ?'j he indignantly rejoins, "I would know what! you have done, Adam, that we are all damned through you? Adam makes a speech. The preacher answers him. Adam has a rejoinder; the preacher another. Adam is greatly abash ed, and has decidedly' the worst of the argument, and is told,; in the slang of the tap-room, " I thought I should make him sing small." Then in jolly, rollicking, bantering style, he comforts Adam thus, 'Ah never mind, never mind, man; we have a new Adam, we have Christ instead of you," &e. ; Then he brings the Trinity on the platform, and holds colloquy with - them. In like manner he introduces prophets, apostles and alL other scriptural personages." He makes the Saviour and Mary Mg3alen hold conver sation, the preacher imitating the tones of a timid, repentant woman. And this it is which the tens of thousands of the metropolitan popu lation are crowding, even nnto death, to hear, to grieve at or to approve, by occasional bursts of laughter or floods of tears.
