Dorley’s Sermon. BY JOE C. ABY. Tuere is not a man in New Orleans better known than Jim Dorley, the politician who, 0, figured in every ward meeting and years convention held in the ¢ ever, managed to get converted to the Bap- tist faith, and is now engineering a class in an uptown Sunday-school, Although he is y conscientious in the discharge of the duties imposed upon him, his ruling passion invariably obtains the whip hand, and he illus- trates the Bible lessons in political parlance. “Boys,” he said, one Sunday morning to the seven bright urchins composing the class, “the chapter which you have just finished reading gives a description of the Saviour's last supper on this earth, Now I want you to bear in mind that the supper was also a sort of convention, and all the disciples present were delegates who had been stump- ing the various districts for the Gospel party, which had just’ been started, and they had assembled there for the purpose of swapping ing how the campaign was pro- | gressing. During the proceedings of the convention, the Saviour, who presided, in- formed the delegates that there was one among them who was putting up a job, and getting ready to sell out, and when they asked him who it was he spotted Judas Iscariot, a pputable old beat who had neither char- acter nor principle, Sure cnough, the next day Judas went over to the opposition, and sold out the whole Gospel party for thirty-five pieces of silver, and mali S ‘The opposition at that time was powerful, and had been running the elections to suit theinselves, so they broke up the convention, placed the Saviour in prisen, and condemned him to death on the cross, Now, what sur- prises us most in this matter was the way Peter acted. Tete, you know, had the record of being one of the stanchest dele- gates in the convention, but the truth of it s he didn’t have much back-bone as an cel, and when the opposition asked nim if he wasn't trying to run the Gospel ticket through, he got scared and flunked. He denied everything, and swore and be-darned | that he'd belonged to the old party for thirty years, and that he would scratch any other ticket put in the field. The crowd left him then, and while the rooster was upon the fence crowing, Pete was around on the off side of the house weeping and fixing to ske- vel notes, and s dist daddle if he saw signs of the campaign grow- THERE Toumy Dives. ARE PL ing any warmer. After the mobs from the different wards had assembled and crucified the Saviour, Judas Iscariot looked around to see how he stood with the community, and finding that he didn't command any more respect than a halfbreed carpet-bagger he went off and hung himself, In conclusion, boys, I wish to impress upon you the fact that great is the reward of the man who lives ac- cording to the principles of the Gospel party. There is not a plank in its platform that is not laid down for the eternal welfare of mankind, and if you adopt that platform, and vote a straight ticket through life, you will, when your term of oflice expires here below, repre- sent this world in the Celestial § Sisters and Aunts. Why did Sarah Bernhardt have herself, while white, photographed as she lay in coffin? Possibly so that she herself could know how people would regard her afer death, Perhaps because she could have her own “makeup.” Now, if an American woman had done so, we would pro! said that she wanted to show the picture to a lover in order to scare him into loving her a little more before she died. ply have Mucn fun is constantly being made about young ladies who scll goods in stores, and who speak of themselves, or are spoken of, as lesladies.” No fault is found with “sales women” or “shop girls.” Why not caf them salesladies if they wish it? ‘They are ladies, and the man who has accompanied his wife, sister, or somebody clse’s sister, to a fancy: goods store, has found them to be, as a rule, gentle, modest, patient and pleasant. Why call them “ shop-girls,” when we use, in defi ance of English criticism, the word ‘store? Why say “saleswomen,” when they are not really servants, and when the word sounds to them like char-woman or washer-woman?
