A long Sermon.

--We saw a good anecdote the other day about long preaching. A lady took her son of some five or six years to church. After the minister had been preaching half an hour, the little fellow grew sleepy and began to nod. The mother roused him into attention several times by pinching. But, as it seemed a hopeless ease, she concluded to let him sleep undisturbed. After the little fellow had his nap out, he awoke, and still saw the minister holding forth. He looked up in his mother's face and innocently asked: ‘"Mother, is it this Sunday night, or is it next Sunday night?"’
