The history of preaching in Europe and America would contain a curious chapter in relation to what have been rcilly, or in reputation, stolen compositions delivered from the pulpit. Two or three cases of this kind now occur to our recollection Some twentj years ago, there lived at Bristol, Eugland, a very able and popular preacher, the Rev. William Thorpe. Commanding ia person and ruauuer, with a voice blending the peal of the thunder with the softuess of the icphyr, aud with a pathos and unelion which, in his Lest seasons, were almost unrivalled, he vras cveryrf here popular. No man, when he brought out his power3, could make a better sermon; lut he was naturally indolent, aud having a most extraordinary memory, he never made a secret of the fact that not a few of his sermons were composed by others. The practice placed him sometimes iu an awkward position, which, however, he occasionally turned to good account. His week-evening sermons were generally extempore, and cost him but half an hour's thought in hi vestry, which he usually reached so long before the commencement of the services. One Wednesday eveuiug, on his arrival at church, he found on the table some fifty copies of a printed sermon, sent by a poor neighboring minister for sale. Thorpe .iit down, read and admired the sermon :iud went iuto the pulpit and delivered, it. His hearers wcro delight.'d, and went almost in crowds into the vestry to express their gratification. The worthy pastor, ' j wishing perhaps to test the sincerity of j j these compliments, and no doubt desiring; to tieneut nis ueignuoring brother, said to j his people, '"Oh yes, the sermon you have j heard to-night is a good sermon, a very good sermon ; Lut do not thank me for it ; it is none of mine. There it lies printed on the table ; pay your shillings and take homo the copies, aud so refresh your memories, and send a few loaves of bread to the family of its author." We need not add that the sermons were all sold. When Mr. Thorpe was settled in London, before he removed to Bristol, he peeached fr-HU memory the whole six volumes of Saurin's sermons, on successive SaLbath evenings. When he had reached tho cud, tho late Samuel Bagster, the biblical publisher, a personal friend of 11 A 1 " . 1 , 1 t 1 ' ., , , ', . copy of Saunn, with a note k.udly hoping that his friend would accept a new copy I nonit! .

There lived in Thorpe's days (and wc hope yet lives) in a oity ten or twelve miles from Bristol, one of tho most popu lar preachers of the day. He and I'l I.,.- i . occasion ot the dedication ot a new e'aureh, and traveled a great part of the journcy on the preceding day together, J J 1 , , , , , On the way, Thorpe acknowledged that he had made no preparation for the service, 1 1 Tf i J.J anamuoeu was not even prowaca wun a text, ror this his companion severely Llamed him, little thinking of what the result was to be. Arrived at the end of their journey, they were put to sleep in a double-bedded room. Irr the night, J., who was at that time exceedingly careful cf his delivery, awoke,- and, supposing Thorpe to be asleep, he carefully repeated aloud the sermon he had to deliver in the morning. , . Thorpe lay tni heard if, and formed liis plans respecting it. hen they arose, ht entreated J. to exchange services with hi3, chiefly pleading that Lb did not feel rjuite comfortable ih tho idea of following tHe flnished sermon that, no doubt, J'. vtould deliver in the moming, besides which, by far the largest congregation would be in attendance in the evening. The bait took. The unsuspecting J. gave up';' rlid vrhen he went to'chureh, it was to listen to his own sermon prepared with ib rtueh' ?are for the evening; AMd what added to his mortification was, that wTiericver" Thorpe bad delivered ore of the finest passages, he would pause tor a moment lo lock into J.'s face to see how it took ! This Trashy no niesiiS toe only sefmch oT J.'s that had been stolen from him ; indeed, we havo heard him say, that in traveling he has sometimes gone icto a strange church, and had aa opportunity of listen ing to a stranger of another oenommation delivering afld sometimes urderinj one of his own printed sermons ; and once in troduced himself to one of tbserfacfli7 thieves, to reprove him for the manner in which he had spoiled Lis sermon. On one occasion, a living minister heard J. in London, when he delivered a plain, practical sermon, wLich could not p well got rid of by any one that heard it. As the minister arrived at his home very late in the week, and had not time to prepare two sermons for th Sabbath, be delivered iu the evening, entirely from memory, substantially the same sermon he had heard from J. Ou going his rounds among his friends on Mouday morning he found his people in a state of excitement such as' he had never Jefore witnea'a-l. Every one contended that he hail been pemtnal, and every man contended that the preacher meant '. The pastor got through for the time as quietly as he could, expecting how the usattfr would end. In a few days ins chtrrch mot on thair general business, and the pastor tok an opportunity of sta ting the whclc r.f the facts, and laid on ! the table a jrit.l-:d e0py of the sermon delivered by J., " reported for The Pulpit'' a London publication devoted to sermons One fa-t mire, and we will relieve the attention of the reader. It relates to J. himself. One Lord's day he was absent f.-om Lis pulpit, which was occupied by a young man with whom he had recently beoorac acquainted, and who had delivered a sermon which had greatly eharmed him. In the evening of the day, the young sup ply delivered the sermon ho had bsfore preached in the "presence of their pasto?. The people did not conceal their pleasure that he had stolen a s.ermou from their pastor, who had preached it to them ver ltii'm, only the preceding Itord'e day evening The young minister asserted his innocence, hut no one balieved him. He did not feel hitnsklf at liberty to state the facts of the case, but determined not to leave tho 4ity till Mr. J. returned, and some explanation could be given. On the following Lord's day he adverted in his pulpit to the circumstances of the same sermon irom the sarrto juipit on two suc- cessivc Sabbath cveniugs, and added very significantly, " It is quite true there was stealing in the case ; Lut my friend did not steal it from me stole it from him.

A number of the Columbia Centinel, (Benjamin BTifsell's paper,) for January S, IcOO, (says a late Boston pspcr) is he- fore us. It was the time that funeral honors wcro being paid to the memory cf , George Washington. The following little waif we copy from the Cectinel. It is replete with meaning, though very simple, and conveys an idea of the effect produced when it was announced that George Wash ington was "no niore."3 "Is he dead V said the gray haired corporal his eyes were filled with a wa tery humor, and he wa? obliged to take out his handkerchief. He forgot the mug of beer which he called for shouldering his walking stick, then reversing it, marched home with a stow rcarcu "The Geneial is dead, Thehc," said he, as Lc made a halt and sat down 'Is he, sir ?" Thebe was emptying her m;,k paU8n(1 tLe p,U fcll ske pilt Lftr checked apron to her eyes. A little girl at this instant, came rue ning in from school : "What's the matter, l'hebe ?" "General Washington's dead !" sobbed out Phcbe. "Is ha ?" the girl sat down to cry. Moses had just put the cows, and corse i in to dry his feet before he went to singing seheol.' " WLat's the matter, 'Mima said he to his little shur. "General Washington is dead."' she (0 tld hardly lisp. Moses forgot his feet were wet, and sat down in one corner whilst he wiped his eyes with tho sleeve of his frock. Phcbe was still standing with her aprcn to her face. Jemima had retired to her little block in the chimney corner. Moses had wet his frock sleeve through and through.' ' When the old corporal raised his head f?oai the top of his Btaff, "Phcbe," said he, " 1 ou need not make nvj hasty piuldhxj tonight." "No, sir." " Jemima at length said her prayers to her sister and went to bed. The whole family shortly followed her example, and even Moses raked up the fire and retired to his garret, forgetting that he was to have learned "St. Martin" that evening.' ... By day break tho next morning the old man had got on his regimentals, which had remained in his oak chest ever since bis return from West Point. He knocked up a neighboring shop keeper to' get a yard of black ribbon, and his grief seemed to be somewhat more calm' when he had tied a piece of this around Lis left arm, and Phebe had made a bow-knot on the top of his walking stick." , Jemima' seeing her father thus trimming himself with black ribbon) held up her little taads, "I too," said she.' Thi old corporal smiled upon her, and made a shift to tie a knot on her arm him slf. . "I honed once.

J Rum and Politics. In Conway. N. H., lived a man named Spangle, who was one of the bluest kind of Democrat, toe-nails, eye-brows, and all, and to have intimated in Spangle's hearing that he could for a moment have rendered " aid and comfort " to the oppo site party,' wodd have subjected the rash iutimator to the danger of a kick at least It vras during the last Presidential cam paign that the Whigs occupied a pinall school house one evening for a political meeting, one of their " great guns " hav ing come up from Conccrd to help them. The self-same evening, Spangle had ta ken a tremendous load of " bricks" into his hat, and, all unconscioas of hie inabili- ty to bear up under the wi 'ht with a clear understanding, he wandered oS in the direction of the school-house. He saw the light, and he heard the speaker, and the idea that religious services were being performed, took so Crm a hold upon his mind that he could not refrain from en tering. While intoxicated, Spangle had a deal of religion in Lis heart, and whilom he had " spoken in meeting," and always was he warm and ardent in his ejacnlatory responses during prayer and exhortation When Spangle entered, on the present occasion, the speaker had dug the grave of Democracy, aud he was just beginning to shovel into it the whole party ; but the bricks in Spangle's hat had so thumped and jostled his brain, and their dust had so bedimmcd Lis sight, that he yet labored i when tbe Almighty c'asaes out the beauti nnder the highly eonsoling, but erroneous j ful images, and we spring forward to' impression, that he was in religious meeting.- " The so called Democracy of our land is only fit for the devil and his angels I" thundered the speaker. " Amen " responded Spangle, over whose mind the word dttil had sent a sort of quickening influence. "Democracy has found its grave!" roared the spouter, in thunder toues. " God le praised!" ejaculated Spangle, vainly endeavoring to turn his eye to wards where ho supposed the ceiling te be. The speaker didn't understand the joke, so he kept on with his speech, but his au dience saw through the matter at once, an,l .j snan.l Ktill rnntlnned his fervent. , . , -if .i i . v heart-felt responses, they lost most of the 1-1.1 political food which was being so laviahly spread before them.'
