A Kalar "Hard-Shell" Sermon. The Southern Magazine lias a sketch of Father Carter, a "hard shell Baptist preacher, whose outh had been spent in the moun tains of Carolina, but who was a famous preacher in his persuasion. lie was an enthusiast on the sub ject of and being strong in his own convictions, earnest and decided in expressing them, he influenced others. He gathered around him as disciples men of higher cultivation than himself. His preaching would as tonish any city eoneresration, but was at least stirring in its char acter.

In the woods and under the giant trees and in the loir school houses of Carolina, where he was brought into 'contact with minds as rude' and as unformed as his own, it was that his emotional nature met a response and carried is audiences with him. A favor ite sermon of hi he called his sermon, and was from a text in Deuteronomy: "As an eagle stirreth up her "nest, flutter- cm over tier young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them." The writer once heard it, and its general tenor is indelibly imprinted on his inind. After a long continued preliminary exerciso he began My irieads, that- is nieuu kinds of eagles. They arc singular birds that is, they is quar birds. Thar is the gray eagle with white bars on his head; thar is the bald eagle ttto, who goes about like a roar- in' lion, seeking what he may eat p.

I liar is the grand old Ameri can eagle, what flops his wings and les all over creation; and 1 have heern tell of a double hedder, an Austriau, but I never socd one, and I don believe there is one though that don't signify, fur sum of 3'on tins might say you hadn't never saed God, consequently thar wurn none. But thar is, never- the less, notwithstandiiijr fur which. Fust, they got whar there wur two cross-limbs; then they brought sticks and laid cm carefully round and round until It began to look sorter like a big balloon careening up to the sk3 only it was ou a tree; then they put iu littler sticks, and littler and littler, till bimeby it was small and compact ike. I hen they got all the wool and down and moss and soft tilings, and put em down into the bottom, and on the sides of its insides, and made it smooth and warm and comfortable like like unto the man that filled his barns, and told his soul to. be easy and take things easy and natural like and laid theie ews thar but for the terri ble voice that said: "Fool, this night thy soul shall be" that is, he war to die that very night, and ail his nice things wouldn be en- ny marc, use to him though they wurn't hurt, fur their eggs wur hatched, and all their young ones come out with narrv a feather on them nevertheless, notwithstand- ng fur which.

Now, I onct knowetl an eagle- that is, I knowed on him and her, too, fur thar wur two on 'em, a big rooster eagle and a hen eagle It wur. in the big mountings Of Carliny; and thar they pitched their tents in a tall aud towering pltse right in the top and it hung over a deep precipice, whar it wuar in danger of being partic ipated down the precipice, when "the loud winds did roar on Caro liny's shore." But it wurn't; for he calleth his sheep by name aud they foller him, and the barren are better than them that bareth chit dren nevertheless, notwithstand ing fui which. WaL, these here eagles pitched their tent in this waste, howling wilderness, whar they wur as lone ly as a solitary snipe in dog days. Wal, these eagles and their young uns in tneir line borne, ana hail on soft clothing like John the Im mereer. waudering in the wilder ness, where they wur in king' houses and the big ncs fed 'em as panents reed their little nns, though that's a commanded again stealing, which the eagles have to do, but its their natnr, though that don't signify, for a man's natur is to steal sometimes, and he got to lite agin that natur; for when would do good, evil is present and a man aint an eagle bird or chance -nevertheless, notwith standing fur hen the eagles growed up and had feathers that is.

when they came te the age of countabiiity, which is expected boys aid girls like though eagles' natur is diflerent then the old eagles wanted them to fly abroad and mount up on wings of eagles, and jiue the song that floats around the throne. And that's war the text begins; for that's the way the Father up yonder wants us to do when we reach the age of count ability fly upward to fly up-ward and jine the band in the nar rer way, and pass through the straight gate. But they didn't like to leave home and their pari ents, and seek a country like onto the good old Abraham har, oh whar is tor good old A braham "Dir. on wnaris the good old Abraham Whar, oh wharia the good old Abraham! jsaie in the promised land!" The old eagle goes off and "Cut tereth over her young," and that brings U9 to the second pint in our discourse. "She fluttereth," she flops her wings, like unto as you have seen a hawk just gittin' ready to pounce down upon a poor held mouse though it aint like that either, for the hawk flutters in wrath, but the eagle flutters over her youug uns in love.

Brethren and sisters, she flutters in love flutters in love just like when you see your dear little ones a-trcadin of the downward path, and your heart flutters and flutters and flutters because you're afraid and she goes above the nest and hollers squawk which when 3011 holler j'oti means to tell 'em to "take keer," "take keer" only the birds' talk is not like unto" our talk and they hear that voice, and creep into the sides of the sides of the nest, and see their fud parients a floppin' of their wings, and cry with their little; peeKeu voice pees wluoli means father dear and mother dear I like to foller you fur "I'm bound for the land of Canaan: I'm bound for the land of Canaan I'm bound ler the land of Canaan For it is my happy home The eagle hath stirred her nest- she hath fluttered over her young and that bring3 us to the third pint of our discourse. And now, my dear friends, hat does she do. she spreadeth abroad her wings. Thar she is right up in the sky! her wings stretched like the shaddcr of a mighty rock in a dry land. Thar below is the little eagles a standin' on the last stick, the last prop, hold in' ou like grim death, while fiery billows roll beneath ateard to fly, afeard to stay, afeard to do anything, afeard not to do something knowin thar is a deep purcipiee, whar the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched knowing thar is a place liar the streets run with milk and honey, aud whar thar'sno weepin, no mournin', no gnashing of their teeth knowing they haint got nothing here, nor wont have noth- ng thar unless thev stir them selves and fly upward.

Why don't they fly upward? That they tremble and shiver and cry out, and want to fly but dassent waiting for a convenient season, which never comes, and thar above all is the old eagle a spreadin' above of her wings and looking down to see they wont do something like men and wimcu, instead of jist stay ing thar liko marble statues to to be wafted about by even- breeze and thar she is a-spreadin above of her wings, until at last alio give one great squawk of wrath and Hops down on the whole brood and knocks the last pin from un der 'ein. And war are they? Yes, nd whar are you my dear broth ers and sisters YV bar arc Some a flutterin like wounded doves, down, down to the lake whar they cry for a diop of water to cool the parched tongue, whar Lazarus was in poor Dives bosom or a-mountin up on wings of eagles whar they shall run and not get weary, whar thev shall alk aud not faint. Nevertheless, notwithstandingftir which. nu mat uring us to me third pint in our discourse, which is, he taketh 'em. And thar's different ways of taking things.

Thar's people with mighty takin' ways, and thar's officers that takes vou to jail and thars boys that takes apple aud peaches, which things they oughtn and thar people that takes you in which isn't meant for the good tins, whieh takes strangers in and takes keer on 'em like unto the Gommor- ana when Lot's wife was took iu- to the house like a pillar of salt nd divided into four quarters and into ihe land of Israel, for which the auger burnt agin 'em for the hurt of the daughter of Israel was sore. But He taketh them I don't mean the eagles and leads them to near pastures and beside still waters, whar thar no more sigh- ng aud suffering, no more weap- ng and parting fur Parents and children there shall meet!

S. HAItl Oi te low we give two items con ceruing manners among children in this country; the one from an American, the other from an Eng Iish stand point. If the American view is true, what shall be said those who find fault with teachers for giving so much attention to the deportment of pupils; and if the English view is correct, what ought to be the action of parents who are conscious that their cliil dren are growing into rude and impertinent ineu and women? We are inclined to think the writer who criticises the New York pa pers view is about right. Society at lurge is the real cause of the growing want of polite deportment in children. It has encouraged cuteness" until cuteness has de generated into insolence.

If so ciety demands that children shall be courteous and retiring, they will be; otherwise wc must still submit to be crowded from the sidewalks by girls and boys. It is frequently asserted that there is a decline in the manners of the young that there is more dress than formerly, but less civil ity; more "airs but less courtesv A New York paper traces this de cadence to the influence of public schools, ana charges that there is no feature of their managemi more deficient thau that which manifests itself in the ill manners of the pnpils. This charge does not surprise its, for what wrong or defect in society is not traced by certain writers to the Then, too, how rapidly everything is deteriorating What a decline theje is in health, thought, manners, morals, virtue and industry! Nothing is what it used to be! Whether there is a decadence in manners we cannot say our observation is not sufficiently wide out it is eviuent that there is no lack of ill manners, and there are several prolific sources of this evil to be fouud cuttide of our schools. Our teachers certainly have a suf- ncieniiy neavy contract in cor recting rudeness and ill breeding, without engagiug in their manufacture, and it is possible that many are culpable for a neglect of this important dtty. Our pnbhc schools should assiduously cultivate habits of civil and curtcous behavior, and this must be done both by precept and example, in season and out of season.

Such training is as important as instruction in arithmetic and English grammar. Moreover the manners of a school should never be graded down to the average pupil, but up to the teacher's standard and example. Good manners should never be one of the teacher's personal wants. Hon: TltAIMXM IX the Ukitew States. It is a matter of general regret among Americans, though I did not'observe that any steps were taken to remedy the acknowledg ed evil, that parental authority over the young is brief, weak aud lessening.

Such is the precocious spririt of independence generated by the political institutions of the country and the geueral current of social life, that the boys aud girls of twelve aud fourteen think themselves quite competent to decide many questions for themselves and do decide them, on which English boys and girls of eightceu or twenty would still feel bound to consult and obey their parents. And as in England, so 111 America, the lower you descend in the social strata, the more markedly this ten dency exhibits itself, it was piteous and saddening to ace. as I had occasion to fee frequently when mothers would come to the office of the superintendent of schools to excuse or complain of the truancy 01 their children, parents helpless to control the wills aud even the caprices of lads of eleven or ten, or even 3'ounger 3ears. it is not a natural nor a normal state of things; every well-wisher to the United States everi" one who desires to see that great commonwealth equal to the destiny that lies before her can not but hope that, for so manifest an inversion of a great social law, a remedy ma3' soon be found. Frazer's English Report A recent issue of the New York Tribune contains an interesting sketch of the life and works of Noah Webster.

It states that he was deferred from entering upon the practice of the law by the distracted state of the country, and, as a temporary expedient, he resorted to the expedient of teaching, first in Hartford, Ct, in 1779, and. then in Goshen, N. Y. in 1782.

More than fifty million copies ot the speller have been sold, and the present annual- sales exceed one million copies. The average rate of manufacture for titty years past has been over five copies per minute tor the ten working hours of each day. It is estimated tha more than fifty million American youth have used this speller, and that to this above all else, do the American people owe their unity or language. A copywnght of less man one cent lor each book sold, afforded Dr. Webster an adequate income during the thirty years wnicn lie devoted to tbe preparation of bis large dictionary, known wherever tbe language is spoken as -'Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.

This work is now regularly issued in London, and both in England and in this coun try it is regarded as the highest authority. or the ten abridgments of this great work have been republished in England, with large sale, and the sales the American editions are enormous. More Webster's dictionaries arc sold (including the abridgements than of all other English diction arias combined.
