My beloved brethren in a good cause
| am ready TO exclam with the man who
rode on Don Quixote's fool of an ass -
Eternal blessings on the man who first
inventented sleep 1t coVereth one all
over like blanket. Yes, my friends it
does all that but then the mantle that
sleep throws over the bod y, is not always
comfortable one, by long shot some-
times it is woven in the loom Of wrelChcd-
ness, with warp of brlar bushes, and q
filling of card teeth Sometimes lis tex
ture is so thin as 20 afford but poor pro-
lection 10 frost bitten dreams-and some
times it is as smooth as satin, soft as
down, and comfortable as a tootstove. Ii

the day, you must Just prepare yourself
for tattered rug 10 sleep under at night
There is no "baImy Sleep for those
who act dishonesty, live immorralIy vote

The man who backbItes his neIghbor, de-
ceives his friends, speaks i'll of married
women, runs down the girls, throws a
quid Of tobacco into the contribution box,
and takes penny out TO buy more, and
who cares not a snap for God, man nor
devil say my hearers, such man ne
vcr ought TO sleep in peace, and he never
will. Let him retire to his cattail couch,
when sable night has empiied her soot-
bag upon one half Of this terraqueous
globe-when the iron tongue of midnight
bids the witches slraddle their broomStlcks
and the demons of darkness start from
their cells--when his spree is over AMI
he seeks for repose-und what my friends
await him their Bed bugs mosquitoes
and the mig ht mare Yes, amid ali these
troubles, he will lay down his guilty cars

way, in trying to coax sleep to his bed

to sno6ze but the load on his conscince
will cause him to groan in distress, while
the skeleton OF a night mare looks in at
his window, and gives horse laugh al
his misery. Poor man--yoa can't sleep
under that budget Of guilt.


Now, my dear hearers, look at the
man who goes to bed with sense Of hav.

in the arms of Somnus who beckons his

enter. lfhe is a lover his dearest angel
is by his side, journeyng with him thro'
shady groves and eIysan ficlds--ll he is
a business man, the banks all pay specie,
and discount lreeIy-if he is a lawyer, his
clients are all wealthy and chOck full OF
suits--if he is a preacher, like myself, his
sheep yield good ieeces, and are content
with such salt as they can got. 0, it is u
blessed thing to lie down at night, with a
light stomach and u lighter conscience
You ought to see me sleep sometimes -
