ReT. William Jay's PrcatUing.'.
At tbc first hearing ' of th preacher,' the lis
tenrr was ebartneil.'- .His voice., as it lias been
truly saii, "can never be forgotten by one who
' has heard it once. Its finCj. barylone .soothed
. . the audience, and prepared the . way- for - the
- teaching or the admonition that should follow ;
and while his eloquence was capable- of great
variety, he chiffiy excelled in: the expression of
tendernors.' fits ohj.'ct was to produce inipres
sion, not indeed on the imagination, but on the
heart; VndTamifngat7this

, yentionaliltes. Curt, '"grave," impressive, , he
strove to eoncontrate as much as possiblewjth
in the, com pass of his sentences ; .-and ; some
times, breaking off the current of thought, he
would catch a conception fresh as it came, jet-,
ting it serve lib end, even'iif it interrupted his
argument.- The- 6. sf words of a discourse were
often' abrupt, and tvYu. foreign froni the : f'ub

of winning the" ear, aud perhaps the heart, of
some hearer.ai the hain tiiue. They were like

gospel thau the Jiugid . that) should j blow .the
trumpet at the la.st day.,: And. the; s-ml, atd,
etii phai s, and m usie of his diseoursa were such,
that oftenttnus, as we have' heard an : accus

A beautiful illustration of this, was furnished,
, not long ago, by one o Lis congregation " when
on his deathrbed. rft was an aged ma nV For
the last time he heard his pastuf preach from
these words : My; presence shall go with thee,

God. J doubt ifyou can possibly imagine
our feelings wben toe venerable stiver bead ap
peared fn the pulpit, and Hben bent f in silent
prayer. The expression with which bo reads
is wonderful ; bis words' distill as "the dew, so
softly, and yet so effectually do they fall." . Ilis
manner of emphasizing some passages gives yon
an entirely new view of tbem, s' -
Certain it is, that whatever 13 odd in. the ad
dress of a public speaker will -be remembered
when all else is forgotten." and that vulvar fame,
seizes on these exuberances,' and 4hawks, them
about, until the r object of thbir garrulity' is
known in the outer world rather by these ac
cidcntal flashes, than .by the steady light where
with he fills bis proper circle." Mr. Jays rep
utation has. often been ; marred by this 'treat-.
ment ; and therefore, the writer is reluctant to
gather up anecdotes that are generally garbled,
and at best are deteriorated beyond remedy by ;
separation from their con texual position in bis
discourses, and by ?the wani of, that :'incommu-;
nicable grace anji influence which, were atten
dant on his most remarkable savings at tbemo
ment of their delivery. . 1 One fragment only of
this kind slwll be given lierei ; It shows how be
'could yeuture to speak in bis own place and to
uis uwu peopic.;ti -ois oojycv was 10 impress; on
tliose whom it most concerned, tbe truth -that
"evfl com mttnicat ions corrupt good manners,
and to this end he told a talo uf i two parrots.
-Two friendly neighbors bought each a parrot.
That ofMrs. Aj was a bird of grave deport
ment, and had been taught to speak a good
niahy flJ wordsvThati of MrsR: w'vls an
impious fellow, for his language abounded f in
hd word. I- N ow, M ra. B. felt quite shocked
at the irreverent talk ?of: her parrot,, and pre-
vailed on ber friend to a Idw the grave1' parrot
to pay a visit to the sweirer, in . hope of re
efaiming the foguo by good example." Well,
the two birds stayed tdgeiHerfor about a mouthy
and a great reformation was expected y in the
swearing parrot, from-listening to his more de
cent neigbbo? ; but imagine the ; consternation
of good Mrs. A. on the ('return of - her more
rrave and decorous bird r to bear bim swearing
like a trooper. fllie fact 13,' that 2 instead . of
teaching; he had VeenTearning i and: from that
sad day bis language was as bad asi his' - scape

effect of such a parable on a large congregation.
But tilthoug1! the 1 parrots' would bannt their
memory, we 'may.be surer that the ' inimitably
artless art of tbe ' preacher wound up with a
lesson that; Jay deeper' atdt would .doubtless
spring up agtin to memory amid the confusion
of worldly- intercourse. ! His aneedotes were
memonici and thereforenseful.;" But be was
