REPORTED BY BILL EASEL. Daring my sojourn in Mississippi, (#hortly after I heard the great sermon, which was payee on a harp of a thousand strings,) I ad occasion to visit a friend in the neighbor- hood of Port Gibson. The next day bei: Sabbath, I accompanied him to Zion She Sy A new minister had been calied to that neighborhood, and this was to be his salutatory sermon. Zion Chapel was some hundred yards from the main road and surrounded by P hone trees Having arrived rather too early for the ser- vice, myself and friend sauntered about the woods rather actively employed in brushin away the cloud of mosquitoes that surround us, At length a strange specimen of the zenus homo made his appearance on horseback; it was brother Crafford. His dress was decidedly peculiar. On bis head ho wore an old-fashioned bell-erown beaver, several sizes too large. To remedy this defect a cotton bandana handkerc’ t pattern; blue, with brass buttons, short waist and long 8) low. The collar came within an inch of hid- ing the back part of his head. His vest was extremely long, and his pants ditto short. The latter were held down by a leather strap passed under a huge pair of brogans of an untanned leathor color. Altogether, his pres- ence strongly suggested Dan Marble in his Yankee character of Jenathan Homespun But to the sermon—or at least a portion of it—for it was utterly impossible to report the whole. The congregation was large, as it had been “‘norated’’ abroad that a new servant of the Lord was to make his debut at Zion, Brother Crafford slunk into the ulpit with more than ordinary humility, and after de- voting a few moments to silent prayer, he rose. Gingerly pushing up the sleeves of his store coat, whereby he dis; ed a pair of large, long, bony hands ob beet-red color, he grasped the handled of an earth pitcher and poured into a tin cup a draugit of water which he drank with inimitable gusto. His appearance in the pulpit was a study for an artist. His face was long and lank, eyes pale grey, nose aquiline, complexion sandy, hair greyish sandy, head bald on the top, with the exception of a small patch on organ of reverence, (as if to shade it,) and, altogether the picture of Greeley whilst in- dicting a Freesoil Abolition document for the benefit of his Southern subscribers. He began apologetically, as follows : “You don’t see me to-day in the dress I allers wear; I come among you as a stranger and I am now tricked out in my store clothes: 1 am not a proud man, but I thought it would be more becoming before strangers.’’ After this he raised ahymn in which the congregation joined. He then began his ser- mon: ‘*My dear brethren and sisters, first and foremost, I’me gwine to teil you about the affecting partin’ I had with my congregation at Bethel Chapel. Arter I had got through with my farewell sermont, asIeame down outen the pulpit, the old gray-headed breth- ern and sisters who had listened to my voice for twenty years crowded around me, and, with sobbing voices, and tearful eyes, said— Farewell, brother Crafford ! As I walked down the aisle, the young la- dies, tricked out in their finery and brass jew- ely, gewgaws, jimreracks, paint and flounces, looked up with their bright eyes, and pro- nounced with their rosy lips—Farewell, bro- ther Crafford! The young men in their tight patent leather boots, high collars and flashy waistcoat— smelling of pomatum and cigar smoke—with their shaaghi coats, and striped aebra pants— they, too, said—Farewell, brother Crafford! he littie children—iambs in the field—lifted up their tiny bands and suzall voices, and with one accord, said—Farewell. brother Crafford! The colored brethern of the congregation now came forward—(black sheep whohad been admitted to the field under my ministery,) with tears rolling down their sable cheeks, they, too, said—Farewell, brother Crafford! As I got on my horse and bade adieu to my congregation forever, I turned to take al look at the old church where I had preached the uusearchuble riches of Christ fur mor’n twenty years—and as I gazed at its delipi- dated walls and moss covered roof, it too, seemed to say—Farewell, brother Crafford ! As I rode down through the village, the peo- ple who poked their heads outen the winders, and the servants who leant on their brooms. all seemed to say—F arewell, brother Crafford! As I paesed along down the highway, through the forest, the wind as it sighed and whistled through the tree-tops, playing on the leaves and branches, the burden of salvtion, it, too, seemed to say—Farewell, brotie: Urafford. — Crossing a little creek that was gurgling and singing over its pebbly bed, as it rejoiced on its way to the great ocean of eternity, it too, seem to say—Farewell, brother Crafford ! As I rode along down a hot, dusty lane, an old sow that was asleep in a fence corner jumped out of a suddent, with a loud broo-oo, roo oo—she, too, seemed to —Farewell, brother Crafford ! My horse, he got frightened and jumped from under me, and as he curled his tail over his back—kicked up his heels, and ran off— he, too, seemed to say—Farewell, brother Crafford. 2 eee Respecrasitity.—Very recently Mr. For- rest played an engagement in Baltimore. One morning, while at breakfast, says a contempo- rary, the colored man that waited on him ven- tured to say : *« Massa Forrest, I seed you play Werginius de oder onc aae oee you played him right up de handle tink dat play just as good as Hamlet.

The worst of itis, he contends, that when your wife hasgot anew bennet she must go to this place and that place for the purpose of showingit. The bonnet, of itself, is but a small matter; itis the constan: exhibition of it afterwards that tellson the husband’s pocket. Some cheap and simple remedy to do away with the evil is recommended, and it is suggested that as good a way as any for the women to let allthe world know that they have come into cesmed = ‘ing sion of new bonnets is, instead of the faot on the back of their heads, to resort to the far easier and cheaper plan of advertising in the newspapers—say, somewhat in the style following : of ieee IS TO GIVE NOTICE, that I bar within the last two days, purchased a Bonnet, which is the prettiest little duck of » thing that wasever seen. It was bought of M’me Clare Nouveaute, de Paris, and cost £4 15s , if it cost a farthing; as the receipt that L have at home in my desk can testify. I may as well state that it isa love of a drawn bon- net, or in other words, a little capote d’hiver. The crown, which is of the richest plum-color- ed satin, iscrossed and crossed (like the bars you see on the jam tarts) with tiny bandeaur of velvet, (the very best Genoa,) of awarm damson color. Round the edges run small plumes of feathers of a nice jelly nuance, and inside are puffs of white blonde (French,) that look for all the world like a cluster of snow- balls in danger of being melted by the warmth of the colors above. The ribbons are chocolateau lait. Tosum up, the bonnet falis off tbe head, reclining languishingly on the shoulders, as though it were too weak, poor thing, to hold itself up, and was going off in a kind of fashionable swoon. In one word, itis 80 light, so pretty, 80 ravissant, and sucha rfectdear, that Eugenie herself could not bap being jealous, ifshe were tosee it. How- ever, I shall w it next Sunday in church, mds will have a charming opportunity of judging of the effect, which is as delightful as itis distingue. (Signed) Mrs. Worpiy Mosvane.
