STEALING SERMONS.

The reetor and the curate of an Eng-
lish parish had been absent for Rome time ;
but they Were efficiently represented while
they were away. They returned to
resume ditv on the same day. The
curate took the morning service, while
the rector officiated for a friend in __a
neighboring parish ; but the r mum was
prepent in the evening to preach after the
curate had read prayers. The sermon
in the morning, was so good that the
members of' the congregntion congratulat-
ed themselves on the effect,* the change
of air had on the preacher's style and
power ,generally. When the ,rector -ascen-
ded the pnlpit in the evening they firmed

which had formed the subj .ct of the
curate's illustration in the forenoon. Very
soon, however, they found that it was

sermon ; and then the face of the -con-
gregation assumed a variety of expression

It is our painful duty to announce the
death of the amiable wife of our eeteemed
townernan, Dr. A. McDougall, -which
took place this morning, (24th), atter a
short but very painful iiilness. She nes
a lady of eminently noble qualitiee, and
sorrow t'or her untimely loss will be min-
gled, by the whole community, with a
feeling of deep, heart -felt sympathy with
the bereaved husband and family in their
hour of ter iible affliction.

Ordinarily, observations touching the
