Wesley's ordinary sermons Were not more than half an .our long. We have s'e'en the same statement made of Whitfield; though Re know not on* what authority, us none of 'hid sermons were exactly reported. Many of the most eminent Sew England pastors, of the last two or three generations, were briefer in all their public services' than is now cernstonty supposed. It woe a cent: IFIon 'practice to divide one sermon hstacen l'ffe two parts of the day. a s hr the instance of Dr. Emmons.- Rev. Dr. Strong, of Hart fort, often ereached only twenty-one min rites, tat: never, it is said, ot cr thirty. Pio fessor Stunt t, during his effective Ministry in New Haven, was noted as well fur the brevity as for the perspicuity and directness ,r his discourses. Our readers can mtdti lq for theniseher. We have heard it remarked by a ecimpetent juitc, himself a successful pastor. that as far as he had observed, its, general. the ministers who best held their place in the actions of the same congregation, had been characteri7ed by brevity in their ministrations. All that we have said, or could say, we , are aware, will be disposed of summarily I try tlm4r. miniEt.2rs who have formed the habit of pleat:llk!, what their hearers, it not themselves, call lung sermons. They will say, "Half an hour is not time enough for the thorough discussion of a great sub ject,"—as if nothing turn this Were to I+caccuropli,hcil tu lee eV. , ry Su mt.iy thmugh the year. Or such a minister may tvell airy, 4 •The people ought to be trait ed to bear ions preaching,"—as if this lwarNice were fur their growth in the Christiar I race of patience, or as if it wore easier cu better to lengthen their patience than to shorten his sermons. We prefer the terdie ut his congregation rather• than his own.— This is one of the points on which, if oh teny, they have a rig'it to be constrlted. At Nast it cannot be amiss fur him, as a pastor, to take into account, among other things, the present comfort and future recollections •ef the children of his char;!e. We are con firmed in our impressions by reniemberim; that when it preacher, I'olo WaS ono of the most powerful in h 1 day, occupied a full hour with every sermon, a mist attentive aid discriminating hearer in the congrega- Con to which he stiltedly ministered, and o ie who loved and revered hint as much as aay other, again and again marveled and lamented that he did not divide every ser mon in two; and We could not but think Lo* much time and breath the preacher spent nut fru:t..illy, if not in vain. It deserves remark, as somewhat sur- prigng, tirat tht elder men grow in the min istry, while experience and observation con- cinco them of the tidy:l:gage here indicated in popular addresses, and they admit and inculcate it, their own practice tends in the contrary direction. They take more time than when they were young in delivering the same mitten sermon, and yet, knowing this, in repeating it tloy sometimes enlarge instead of curtailing the manuscript, and this tea even after their vivacity of manner is more or less impaired by mlvaucing years. Only in this way can we account for the fact that venerable men, who were once cop ular preachers, who are not yet physically disabled, and whose written sermons cannot have lost their inherent worth, are now found to weary the congregations to which they occasionally minister, tire only rcnson given being this: "lie preaches such long sermons!" t'or thiS very reason, and because no Dints or remonstrances can be expected to change inveterate habits in this department any more than in most others, we COlrtureml this subject to those who :ore yet young in the ministry. Their sermons will grow longer with thee, not shorter. het Uwe: he even complained of as too short, in the ant set of the series, in order that they may not be still more complained of as too long in its continuance. And, lest in this I cry article our own practice should seem to contradict our theory, we "conclude" with the (paint saying of a most useful and beloved Vaster, who, on being complimented fir the brevity of his services, answered, "Well, I suppose I have done sonic wickcd tbingo in ety day. and I know I have done tnany foolish thing. , , lint I never did a long thing!"—lmkpriulent. A POLITE INVITATION DEW N ED.-A con tributor to the Spirit of the Times, thug des d scent at the Anthony ltuuse, Ark. Late one bitter cold night, in December, some eight or nine years ago, L. came into the bar room, as usual, to take his part in whatever was going on, I',r some reasons the crowd had di-persed sooner than woe customary, and but two or three of the tutensfulks were there, tog2ther with n stranger, Who bad arrived a half-hour or, 1 anger before, and who, tired, wet and muddy. from a long Arkansas stage ride his legs extended, 4114 shoes off, was conso ling hittlself with two chairs and a nap, op posits the dentrc of the blaring log fire.— Any one who has trtheled until 10 in a rough winter night, over en Arknasas road, can appreciate the comfort of the fruition before /11a/ fireplace.

Heine Srra.rs.—On lest Monday night a valuable bay horse was stolen from the sta ble of Mr. S. It. Purple, of the Hillside :Nursery, near Columbia. The thief was followed to' the Gap, in Citir county, where all trace of man and horse was lost. A number of fine animals have been rceently carried off from this neighborhood, and it would seem from the success of the opera tore, that a regularly organized gang of horse thieves is at work in these parts.— ThV Columbia Insurance Company offers a complete indemnity against loss of horses by theft, for a very moderate premium and rate of insurance, and we would advise all owners of stock to consider the matter. A well organized and extensive insurance o f horses throughout the country ought to make the operations of these depredators too risky fur continuance. A company hav ing large simrs of insurance at stake will naturally take every precaution against loss, and a thorough detective system must lie part of the pulley. a thief who knows that lie has the watchfulness of a company, whose especial business it is to detect and punish him to contend with, will bo wary of touching an animal known to be insured. So before any more steeds are stolen get time Columbia Insurance Company to luck the dour. lt.tv.orn T.tr.?.on's lisert:uc.—On Friday .•veniog of last meek our citizens wore in tiu'ged in a little rational entertainment such as they too seldom have nn opportunity of enjoying Bayard Taylor delivered his lecture on the Arctic Regions in Odd Fel lows Hall. before what we may ; in consider ation of the weather, call a fair nadienee.— The Hall was not as well filled as it should have been, but we question whether Mr. 'Taylor has anywhere found a more absorb edly attentive and de:WIWI audience than in Columbia. The speaker merited the res pectful hearing, and a fuller Innis°. for his licture was admirable in matter, form and delivery throughout. The interest never flagged, and we believe that we only shared the common feeling when we were surprised by the concluding sentences. We hope Mr. Taylor may deem us worthy of another visit. Why is it that we cannot sustains course Of good lectures in our borough? We cer tainly have the numerical strength to make up a renumerotive audience, and spite orate ' tightness of money we see too much wasted in wlyskey. tobacco and other/ft.:Qr./es every day to believe that enough cannot be spared fur monthly or semi-monthly lecture. A large class of our citizens, we know, enjoy such entertainment as would be afforded by addresses from the eminent lecturers of the day, but heretofore something has always prevented every one of these taking part in making up a good, paying audience. Some- I thing has always operated against the suc cess of a series of lectures, and the projec tors have always had to foot the decency. Coder these discouraging circumstances it is difficult to get any society or association to lend their services in obtaining the desired entertainment; but an effort en the part of some of our lending and most public spirited citizens migh now prove successful. Wo suggest that an attempt be made to se- cure sufficient subscription on the part of individuals to insure against pecanary loss, and negotiations be opened with some of the most popular public speakers for lectures during the coming winter. Who will morel in the matter?

They cover him up with sacks many times his burk—th'ey put a tolerable load of wood on eacli side of him, with a strap across the saddlel- , - - -they cover' PRat all up with faggots and hunJles of hay and' straw, and baskets of enormous size, filled with stone or iron or produce. Often you will see the little animal trotting along, with six or seven ten or fifteen gallon kegs of beer for rirree kegs on each side and one on his back, en Chat his load reaches on each side to within about a foot of the ground,— You sec' a loud' a hay coming towards you, apparently twoliag Lj ?ts arta will, and not till it is quite near are yow aLle to' discover, near the ground, signs of a donkey beneath it, looking for all the world like a mouse under a bundle' otroakum. And the peasant girl, going to tuarkeY, MN her two large baskets on her little gray donkey—one upon each side, resting on straps across the sad dle—clothes herself in the picturefscpte dress of her class, and seats herself on the saddle, using one basket for her foot rest, and, with her knitting in her hands, trots cheerily on, her broad brimmed, cone crowned hat—for out of France they wear hats—and her partp•c'olored boddice, trembling under the pit-u-pat pace of her progress, and the rib tints fluttering in the gentle breeze that blows her hair about her tawny neck. STAGE NONSENSE.—We were speaking to a friend the othos day respectiog the merits al a "celebrated tragedian." when vte had occasion to comment on the rant of the stage —the loud mouthing, the outrageous ges ture, the furious rolling of the eyes, the stride. sWords that rattle in the hilt, and all the "pomp and circumstance" of the too• dern drama. Fancy this style carried into real life. On being introduced to a lady you would say, throwing yourself into a splendid attitude, "Most gracious madam on my knees I greet you!" impressively placing your right hand on your heart. To a debt or who would not pay, '•Fraudulent knave! pavest thou :nu not? By yonder sun that blazes in the zenith, thee will I sue, and thou shalt see thine impious name flaming the streets on posters huge!" At dinner, "Now, by my soul and all my highest hopes those beans are royal! Were I Jupiter, beans should grace each royal banquet!— What Ito! waiter, bring hither more beans!" To your wife, "Madam, beware thou dolt excite me not, else, being too hot with wrath, Ido myself some harm. A needle here—a button on my shirt—and see it in stantly performed! Do itl Nor leave the task to me!" To your butcher, "Thou en sanguined destroyer of bovines, send me, some mutton and some beef; and mark you! let it be tenderer than love and sweeter than the bee's rare burden. I would dine to-day!" To a friend, "Excuse a rash Intrusion on your grace, but bast thou in thy box a por tion of that plant ranked by the botanist among the genus nicotiana?" or, "Most noble friend, wilt thou partake with me some strong libation? Thou lookest dull to-day: 'twill cheer thy sinking heart."— Reply, "Oh, noble soul! alas! not all the wine of bacchanalian revels could ease this sorrow here! here! here! (Left arm struck several times.) Oh! what a fool and arrant knave em 1, the very sport of fortune l" This is scarcely more ridiculous auto three quarters of the stage nonsense. Alf ARAB Rankle AND Fea-vest.r.—Their mayilwies arrived at four o'clock, accone: plrolif by the . l3ey of 4inia: 'flit artillery, placeton the slope commanding- fhb plain, fired a satete oftwentyone gutts,- to which the viliole ofl . the' Arabs, numherieg• more than ten thouseed, replied by three butras. •TheArtfasits,theriliegap., A great caravan, • . .• . comprising=loaded 'vairtds, attalics; a herd of oxen, and a flock of sheep; proceeded, and ,foliovrefl. -by a numerous horsemen from 'Metleals,- pot itself in motion, following the Rovigo•roatl i , It had proceeded' but' a few hundred yards - when a swarm of Kelvin, rushing down from- the hills and issuing from the woods, uttered theft battle-cry and attacked the caravan. On seeing bight, the Arab escort galloped rapidly forward mid checked the Kabyles. The Oran goirm (body of Arabs), enicamped far off, emerged at the sound of the firing from the ravines in which their tents were pitched, came to the assistance of ttre caravan, and charged the Kabyles.• These last,- vanquished by numbers, retreated behind a ditch and con tinued to fire on. the Oran trod lidedeah gowns: Then camerup^tlre - gounts of Algiers and Constantino. to support the &Jules, and aid in the attack- on the caravan.— During this most admirable military ntelce it was possible to see, and while the gowns of Oran and Medeah were making head against the Arabs, the camels, and herds; and atiatichs returned to the village to which they belonged. The struggle, continued for a few minutes, ceased at a signal given by the artillery. The effect of this sham-fight was wmderfully fine. Magnificent military panorama. was spread out for more than an liotu before the eyes of the spectators. The Europeans greatly admired the atlatirks full of Moorish women, who uttered cries of ter ror, and the vigor and• energy of the Arab horses. Every man engaged, whether on horseback or foot, having received twenty blank-catridges, it follows that two hundred thousand muskets shots were fired during the action. Ostriches and gazelles were afterwards let loose in the plain. The first , were pur sued by the best horsemen, the second' were bunted by African greyhounds. The light ness and velocity of the gazelles were great ly admired. When the bunt was over came the ttrrn of the Touaregs, armed with long straight swords, lances, javelins, clubs and a buckler of hide. These A-rabsinhabit the desert which estends from•the Pezz'arr Co the Soudan. They are the terror of the'peace able and sondentary tribes that dwell upon the banks of the Djoliba. They live' by plunder; and levy black mail on all cara vans they meet in the desert. They are tall and well made, courageous and daring. They ride on malearis—tall cancels of extra ordinary swiftness, and generally white.— They hope that our possessions will one day extend to beyond Timbuctoo. After the presentation of the Geode horses to the Emperor by the principal indigenous chiefs of the three provinces of Algiers, the Kabyles, 2,000 in number, all armed with long guns, set ursava'ge . and terrible cries, hounded• with astonishing speed up the •slope; overgrown with brushwood, on the summit of which the Imperial tent was pitched; ring arrived before the Emperor.— They came to offer him the arms of Ivor:— The Amine-el Outnena presented him with a musket? the Yattarem of the Beni-Raten offered him a cartridge-box. The sight of all these men covered with rags, uttering piercing cries, and having faces expressive of mingled savageness and cunning, was enough to strike terror into the courageous man. Several of them prostrated them selves before the Emperor, who found him self fur a moment isolated among them.— They were never weary of admiring the beauty and grace of the Empress. 'When they had gone down again into the plain their Majesties proceeded to the other slope 01 the hill, where they found a great num ber of Arabs on foot, bearing the dila— that is to say, roasted sheep and large dishes of COUSCOUSSVIV. Every sheep was run through with a long stick by way of spit, , and wrapped up in a silk handkerchief.— The spectacle was curious. The presenta tion over, the dfra was carried off to the camp of the three provinces, rive hundred sheep were counted.—.Leffer front Algiers in Lit Patrie. IV NOTIIINU HAS CUSTOM CHANGED MORE THAN IN THE TREATMENT OF THE SICK.—But a little while ago bleeding, blisters, cathar tics, and emetics formed the staple of med ical treatment. It was customary to give large doses of the most active and poisonous medicines, and not unfrequently a man's reputation depended upon the size of his doses. Among the people cathartics and emetics were common, and a dose of pills was the prescription for almost every im aginable ailment. There was an undefined idea that disease was a material something which had unac countably got into a man, and must be phys• ickod, tied, blistered, or sweated out of him. It was a sort of material bewitchery, which must be esercised and cast out. Ihst all this is now bravely altered. The mildest means are the most popular. The lancet and blister plaster are almost un- IsnoWn. All the torturing adjuncts of old school practice are mainly laid aside, and nature, not physic, is relied upon, while physici ins often boast how little medicine they give. Ihnriceopathy has bad much to do in thus changing public sentiment. her mild doses and measures, and above all the sentiment of Wildness breathed in her practice, and its eminent success, have inspired people with confidence in mild measures and a re pulsion to the old practices. Among those who have contributed to this change Prof. llninpbrey's stands preeminent.

Among-tlm acrobatic troupe was a maker of red balloock-feetintly en popular in Eng land and Americo: Ile text, eled with the show, and seduced a coo pleof sous - from the pockets of many a patron of it by selling him a balloon. A countryman stopped one day before tho menagerie tent, and enticed by a painted representation• of the elephant paid his mousy to seiS Eft.- Astonished at his size, he - tasked the bullbon man as he went out: "Does that beast bring i forth young or lay eggs?" Without a monlear . a - fiesitseon, the moutebank replied: "lie lays eggs." "I thought so." "And if you wish one, to afford you the happiness of possessing, under your own roof ; an individual of his species, for a franc I will guarantee that yorsliall• carry home what no one else' in the country possesses." The greenhorn did not hesitate to offer his money, and the acrobat presented a red balloon. "Behold the egg I had' the honor to- pro mise you. It is one franc only—and only for you,- because the ,Yarditr des Plantes at Paris buys all my elephant's ego at six franes•apiece, for the A-1;f4" , ins where they use all tit:• cit“,bant's they ran find fur the war agaioNt in.tis.

The countryman departed, charmed with his prize, and to keep it as safely as possi ble, wrapped it in a blue cotton handker chief which ho had bought at the fair for his wife. But in spite of all the care of which the egg that bore Kiouki II was the 'object, it was- written in' the Book of Des tiny that its proprietor should not see it hatched under his roof.

Ile looked to the right and to the left, but no egg! He looks above him, sees the egg rising higher—higher— and carrying with it his wife's handkerchief. He believed that the elephant was about to be hatched, and it was not long after the egg was out of sight that he returned home crest-fallen. His wife asked him where the handkerchief was ho had promised to bring her: Then ho narrated the entire adventure. The good' woman opened her eyes and ears, and seeing her husband's grief not only at the lose of the elephant, but of the handker chief, exclaimed: "Content yourself, husband; I'll be con tent with. tray black handkerchief, and I'm glad to know the poor baby hasn't gone off without swasldling clothes?"
