"' Here's Joe! Give us a speech, Joe," the school-boys cried. "Yes, a speech! a speech!" With great gravity, Joe mounted a pile of boards; conveniently near. He was dressed in his holiday clothes to attend the funeral, and was really gorgeous in his gay neck-tie and perfumed handkerchief. "Friends, countrymen, and lovers," said Joe, " hear me for my cause--." « " Now, Joe, that ain't fair," said one of the schoolboys. " We don't want Shake- spoke to-day; we want a real blood-and- thunder, tiptop, teetotal temperance talk." *' Be quiet," said another. *' Joe knows what he is about." - Not at all disturbed by the interruption, Joe commenced again. ' Friends, countrymen, and lovers, hear Bay Bel "Mid Buliprescnt, who have called a good man's honour in ques- tion this day. Is there in this assembly any dear friend of JohnDavis! I say to him that Parson Willoughby's love was no less than his. Then, if they ask me why he refnsed to'save him, I answer, it was not that he loved Davis less, but that he loved his principles more. - When this man was virtuous, he honoured him; when he was unfortunate, he pitied him; when he was in error, he admonished him. misfortune, and reproof for his error.-- My noble patron rejects the abstinence yoke, as'made by men who would' bring him into bondage. © Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak, for him has Parson Willoughby 'offended. He believes wine to be one of the meats which God has created, and which is to be received with thanksgiving. Is any here so vile that he would not be a Christian? If any, speak, for him has Parson Wil- loughby offended. I pause for a reply-- None?" " Nary one, Joe," said a voise from the crowd. "Then none has he offended-- Do any ssk the cause of this man's death? I answer, poison, liquid fire, and twice distilled damnation, 'Which, swallowed, takes away the senses, drives mad, one And makes a man a block, a beast, a fool, And turns him dewn to .

Good friends, though you be raging with the thirst of hell, You'll find him iron, adamant, and steel-- (Unless, indeed, you bring the goodwife's quilt, the little children's shoes)." Mr. Briggs here interposed. " You quit that!" he shouted, advanc- ing menacingly upon the speaker. "' Gen- tlemen, will you allow this crazy fellow to insult me on my own premises?" . ¢ Fair play!" said Clapp. *' Free trade, snd free speech. That's the talk! Joe Martin has as good a right to proclaim his sentiments as Briggs has to carry on his business. Go it, Joe! I'll see you through!" . The speaker stood quiet, and apparently unmoved during this conflict of feeling, his face relapsing into the troubled ex- pression habitual to it. When called upon, he roused himself, and thus con- tinued + "Good friends, sweet friends, be quiet pray! They that have done this deed are honourable mes, And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you. Yet bear with me; my heart is yonder in the graveyard. You all did know this man, who, lying there, Despised, dishonoured, in his lonely grave, 'With none 80 poor to do him reverence, Once walked these streets erest and strong.

He bowed with great gravity, descended from his position, and walked slowly away. ? . f CHAPTER XII. PREACHING WITHOUT NOTES. * Only men in their extremity Prove what they are,--what their ability." It was a warm Sabbath evening in early summer. The bell of the Wilmot Street Chur¢h was tolling for evening service, when Mrs. Thayer entered her husband's study, '"Npt ready, Louis," she said, *and the bell tolling? I thought you would be waiting for me in the hall." a He rose hurriedly from his chair. "" Ig it so late?" he said. *' I have been sleeping, 1 believe. I have not heard the bell." |! She watched him anxiously, as he threw off the study-gown in which he had been sitting, caught his sermon from the table, and made other hasty preparations for de- partare; and she noticed his unsteady hand, with an indicision and lack of pur- pose in his movements, which she attribut- ed to nervous haste. But in the hall, he searched about the rack for his hat, though the gas was lighted, and it hung upon its accustomed peg. She handed it to him with an exclamation of impatience, gave him a keen searching look, and hurried him into the street. = A moment latet, at some inequality in the pavement, he stumbled, lost his balance, and only saved himself from falling: by leaning heavily against her shoulder. She stopped short. then, and turned to him in a quick, ex- cited way. j "You will have to go back, Louis, she said. 'There is no help for it. You are in no condition to come Before an audience to-night. I muse tell Mr. Barstow you "veh ud deniv lly the matter," he said; but as he spoke he stumbled again. "Louis," she said, in great distress, "1 beg you not to attempt to preach to- night. You cannot do it. Oh, what shall I do?" for he did not heed her, and they turned that moment from a side street in- to the main avenue of the city, thronged with people going to the different churches. " Now, husband, we are not so late, after all," said old Mrs. Barstow, as, puf- fing and wheezing with the haste they had made, the worthy couple came up close behind them, *' for here is our own dear minister, who we all know is a pattern of punctuality. Mr. Thayer, I am delight- ed to find myself in your company. My husband has been fretting all the way, be" cause I kept him waiting a moment after the bell began to toll. But, dear me, if we keep with the minister, I think we shall walk straight." The minister's wife at that moment was exerting all the strength of her woman's arm to uphold the crooked steps of their spiritual guide. She hastened to reply for " Mr. Thayer was so deep in his medi- tation," she said, "that he did not hear the bell, and for aught I know, would still be in his study if I had not called him." " Ah," said Mr. Barstow; " see what it is to have a good wife to supplement a man's deficiencies. Well, it always frets me to be behind time; but we are safe to- night, that is certain." The house was full. The bell had ceased tolling,and a deep stillness pervaded the waiting assembly. Mrs. Thayer felt, as they walked up the aisle, that every oye was upon her husband. She could no longer uphold his steps, but she kept close to him till she reached her own seat.-- Then she watched him b hl ly as he went on alone, walking very slowly. She trembled when he reached the two or three steps leading up to the platform where his desk stood; but he ascended them in safety, and dropping into his chair, buried his face in his hands, while the great organ swelled, and quavered, and pealed forth its triumphant tones. Mrs. Thayerleaned forward in her seat to request Mr. Cole- man, who sat just before her, to see that the sexton opened every ventilator in the house, explaining that Mr. Thayer was not well, and would feel the closeness of the sir. She put into his hand --her own | trembling a little in spite of her nelf-con- trol--her bottle of smelling-salts. Would he send that up to the desk! She had for- gotten to give it to hér husband at the door. While Mr. Coleman was absent on her errand the organ ceased playing. The minister had not changed his position, bat hands. To Frances Thayer, the silence that succeeded was horrible. © She wonder- ed if the people in the next slip could hear her heart beat. Was he asleep? too far gone to arouse himself? what did it mean? At length, when others began to think the interval of silence long, Mr. Thayer raised his head, and came forward to the desk. His wife dared not lift her eyes to his face, and she heard no sound, but knew by the bowed heads around her, that, by the motion of his hand, he had | JAMES ¥. WILLOX masters, if I were disposed to stir | ° called the assembly to prayer. Then, that sweet, rich voice, which was one of Louis Thayer's peculiar charms, esme to her ear, t lous, almost broken in tone, but so distinet as to be heard to the farthest corner of the house. The wife listened as she had never listened to a prayer before; and when she found that the few brief sentences were coherent and well expressed she thanked God and took courage. But her heart sank again when she saw him turning the leaves of the Bible in an un- certain and purposeless manner, and she knew the portion of Scripture he had in- tended to read that evening had gone from his mind. When his voice broke the still- ness again, though he chose the Psalm at random, there was to her a strange signifi- cance in the second verse. "Truly God is good to lsrael, to such as are of a clean heart. - ; " But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well-nigh slipped." Of the song of praise and the prayer that followed she heard very little. She pray- ed herself, and more earnestly than for many a day, that her husband might re- ceive help in his hour of need, for, she knew the great trial of the evening was at hand. She saw how closely he bent over his hymn-book, hesitating more than once remembered his indistinctness of vision in the brightly lighted hall at home, and trembled as she thought of what was to come. "For he will never be able to read his sermon," she said to herself. It seemed for a few moments t all her fears were to be realized, for Mr. Thayer, after giving out his text, and slowly re- peating the two or three opening sentences of his sermon, hesitated, repeating his last | words, stumbled in his speech, put his hand to his brew with a confused look, and while his wife, in an agony of apprehen- sion, was waiting for what was to come next, deliberately laid aside his manu- script, and closed the Bible. Dr. Willoughby, in kindly counsel with his son, had frequently urged him to ac- custom himself, while a young man, to oc- casionally preach without notes, alleging it to be a mistake in his own professional carcer, that he had never practised ex- , temporaneous speaking, but, had strictly confined himself to a written discourse. -- This adyice the young minister had not followed, and it was, therefore, with un- mingled surprise that Thayer listen- ed this evening, as, ! ing in an atti- tude of perfect exse and self-possession, one hand resting upen'the closed Bible, and looking down with a strange light in his dark eyes upon the multitude of up- turned faces, her husband went on with his sermon. There was no uncertainty of purpose now, no hesitation, no faltering. The tones of his voice, always sweet and melodious, and charming his audience by wpon their ears with a peoutiar ght fell Now rising, now falling, through many gradations of sound, and .as the medium of the eloquent language, and wave after wave of thought that succeeded each other in this strange sermon, they were irresisti- ble. His gudience listened almost breathless, and at times bowed as one man; and when the voice at length ceased, there was a stillness as profound as if an oracle had spoken. And one ahd another said, as they came out of church, in half-hushed accents, for the hpell was still upon them, that the minister had never preached like that before. Surely, if ever inspiration breathed through mortal hps, they had listened to God's teaching that night. Bethish Emmersly, in her garret, re- mained so long upon her rheumatic knees in grateful prayer to God, that she lay awake half the night with the -pain, but solaced herself with happy thoughts. -- ""For he must be a great deal better," thoughf Bethiah; * with his eyes so bright, and that beautiful colour in his lips,--and if he's took it regular, it's time the spiced wine did him good." When the minister, at the close of the service, joined his wife at the door of her slip, Mr. Coleman bustled up to return to the lady her bottle of salts. "I did not send it up," he said; "for the service commenced before I found the sexton.-- That man's always out of the way when he's most wanted. But I rather think that sermon was pungent enough without salts. A most excellent . discourse, Mr. Thayer. And see here, I told Barstow the other day, we should have to put a couple more burners to that drop-light by the desk, or some night our minister would complain that he couldn't read his sermon; but I concluded to-dight to do nothing about it, and perbaps turn the gas down a trifie now and then. Mrs. Thayer, your husband needs to be put in a tight spot occasionally, to bring out his reserved force." Near the deor stood an elderly gentle- man in spectacles, evidently a country clergyman, waiting to speak with Mr. Thayer. "He was taking an old man's liberty," he said, when he had introduced himself. " The interest he felt in young men of his profession must be his apology. He had listened withdelighted attention." &ec. "Under any circumstances, the dis- course would have been a remarkable pro- | duction; but considering the fact that it was called out on the spur of the moment, it deserved unlimited praise. But, my dear young friend," said the old gentle- man, with great solemnity, * listen to one piece of advice. I noticed that the ser- mon you found it irapossible to read this evening was written upon blue paper.-- Mr. Thayer, burn every quire of blue paper in your possession. Write your hs on clear, whitepaper, with a wide you dg not, sir, by the time you are sixty years pid, they will be utterly useless to you. 'I am a living witness to the truth of what I say--a warning and example to my young brethtén in the ministry. I am wearing green spectacles to-night, sir, because, when I was a young man, I wrote my sermons on blue paper." Mr. Thayer and his wife walked home if, and on every other line. If you in silence.
