The dialogue delivered by Brother Jedediah from his pulpit a Sabbaths ago. We are aware that Mr. B. is a great favorite with a certain class of folks; we are sorry, however, to find so many of the students of the New York Theological Seminary so much agitated with such irreverent preaching as is heard at Chatham Chapel. The Rev. Dr. McAuley ought to look to this. What sort of preachers will the young men make, if they take Burchard as an exemplar? But to the dialogue-a specimen, however, must suffice.

Holy Ghost, (knocking at the sinner's heart.)
Sinner.-Who are you?
H. G.-Holy Ghost.
S.-What do you want?
H. G.-I want to come into you.
S.-For what?
H. G.-To take up my abode in you.
S.-What then?
H. G.-I wish to transform you.
S.-For what purpose?
H. G.-To use you.
S.-In what way?
H. G.-In sending you about this wicked hell-hole New York, on an errand of love and mercy.
S.-You can't come in.
H. G.-(Knocking again.)
S.-What now?
H. G.-I must enter in and use you.
S.-I won't let you in now; I am not ready for you; you must wait for a more convenient season. There are some worldly engagements which I must attend to at once.
H. G.-Now, as Ephraim is joined to his idols, let him alone. You have grieved me away repeatedly, notwithstanding I have been knocking at the door of your heart. You may live on in your wickedness a little longer, but soon it shall be said to you by the Son-Depart, thou cursed of my Father, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels.
