A'judicious exchange says that the practice-of opening the casket at the church or grave and inviting everyone ' to “come forward and take a last lock at the departed,” is wrong. It friends and relatives wish to ,look upon the face of the dead let them do so at the house where sorrow can in a measure, be hidden from the curious and unsym- ~pathetic. Why should mere aquain- tances and even strangers be permitted tclook upon the palid faces of the dead one gone? Such curiosity is sulgar and such fashion is heath- enism. It should be talked against by every teacher,’ editor and preacher, until it is wholly discontinued. ’ -u—a— Ministers Sometimes are Foolish. The New York Sun administers the following justly deserved rebuke to the foolish utterances of a clergyman, in his pulpit recently, as follows:—— "It was a foolish sermon about “Old Maids” that was recently preached by the Rev. Mr. Sammie in the Baptist , church at South River, N. J., and about which, as he says, a great [use has been made. Oh, yes, Miriam may have been an:old"‘maid, but the mother of Gracchi wasn’t,and we would probably never have had Shakespeare if his mother had been one. As to the “ridiculed and despised spinsters.” whom Mr. Sam- mis exalted, his language Was stuif and uonsanée. Spinsters are not ridiculed or despised, excepting by tools or blackgua’rds. It is not true that “spins- ters are the superiors of the great ma- jority of their married sisters.” Wives and spinsters are Very much alike in their womanhood. There was‘a lot of gammon about wives as well as spinsters in the Rev. Mr. Sammis’s sermon. Here is a scrap c. of‘il: ' l ' .‘ “Give a women too much pow-er and you will repentit. It the lady of the ‘house gets full control of domestic af- ' fairs, you will soon see her coming it over her husband in an alarming man- ner. Just limit her power a little and all will go on pleasantly; but give her complete control, and that settles it.” This South River preacher ought to get out of his pulpit. He is a stupid, . and knows nothing about either Wives or spidsters." ? ‘, . » A Dealer in Sermons. The Philadelphia Record narrates the particulars of a new “infant indus- try” that has recently sprung up in the .city Of=brotherly love and which should receive the. warmest sympathy and support 0t every friend of protection 2-0 home industries. It is to the effect that a shrewd Philadelphian, with only e-few‘ dollars capital who by dint of hard labor earned a precarious living an the rag business h therto, has now struck a new andOriginal enterprise that during the cold and debilitating hot summer season, promises big returns, ' He makes it his business now to call only-at the residences of prominent v ergymen. When the servant answers his-knock at the back gate, he inquires .1 theme any old papers to sell. He. ~..fr‘ers good prices, much better than its average “rg: man” would ever dream of giving, and in that way he gains the servants’ attention at once. He invariably goes away with alarge bundle (told manuscript, which the clergyman Las consigned to the waste yaper basket. When he reaches his ”shop be thoroughly overhauls these papers, and finds that many of them are old sermons. These are just what he counts on. He caretully assorts the papers, and puts them together in :il‘t'per shape, after which he issues a circular to a hundred or more minis'é was throughout ”the,” surrounding - country towns otfieiring to sell the ser- mons.
