The feast is DER! Now Drumming wine
In golden cup is seen 10 shine
Before each eager guest;
And silence fills the crowded hall, Fiji
As deep as when the herald's call
Thrills in the loyal breast.
Then up arose the noble host
And smiling cried, "My lords toast
To all our ladyes fair
Here before all, pledge the name
OF Sianton's proud and beanteous dame
The Ladye Gundemere r.
Then TO his feet each gallant sprung.
And joyous was the shout that rung
As Stanley gavethe word:
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud and gladstone cry,
Till Stanley's voice was heard.
aEnough, enough" he smiling said
And lowly bent his naughty head,
"That all may have their due,
Now each in turn must play his part,
And pledge the ladye of his heart,
Like gallant knight and truel'
Then, one by one, each guest sprungup
And drained in turn the trimming cup,
And named the loved ones name
And each, as hand on high he raised,
Hisiadye's grace OF beauty praised,
Her constancy and fame.
IT'S now ST. Icons turn to rise,
On him are fixed those countless eyes
A gallant knight Is he;
Envied by some, admired by all,
Far-famed in ladye's bower and hall,
The flower Of chivalry.
st. Leon raised his kindling eye,
And lifts the sparkling cup on high:
81 drink to one, " he said,
Whose image never may depart
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory be dead
$40 one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have past,
So holy tits and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt
Than any pledged by you"
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid hand upon his sword,
With fury flashing eve,
And Stanley said, "We crave the name,
Proud knight, Of this most peerless dame,
Whose love you count 30 high"
st. Leon paused, as il he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Thus lightly to another:
Then bent his noble head, as though
To give that word the reverence due,
And gently said, My mother"

Casting a ssDevip' out of Church-A Me-
thodist Minister Arrested for Assaulting
Distiller.
We are indebted to our friend, J. NJ Eells, Of
Marietta Ohio, for the following graphic sketch.
We are assured that the fact transpired substanti-
ally us narrated:
"A Methodist clergyman who has been laboring
in this vicinity was, not long since, preaching to
his people on the miraculous power Of the Apostles
over the demoniac spirits Of their day. As he
was pursuing his theme, the audience were suddenly
startled by voice from some one in the congrega-
ton, demanding, don't preachers do such things
now a days? In an instant, every eye In the
house was turned upon the individual who had the
efrontery thus to invade the sacrednesss of their
sanctuary.
.sThe speaker paused for moment, and fixed
his penetrating gaze full upon the face of the ques-
toner. There was an interval Of intense silence,
broken Mt last by the speaker in resumng his sub
ject He had not proceeded far with his remarks,
before he was again interrupted by the same inn
pertinent inquiry. Again he paused for time,
again resumed his subject. Not content with a
lent rebuke our redoubtable questoner demand
cd again, why don't the preachers do such things
now-a-daysy and curling his lips with sneer Of
selEcomplacency, drew himself up pompously in his
seat
"Our reverend friend, (who, by the way, Is a
young man of great muscular power,) calmly left
tire desk, and walked deliberately to the pew,
where the interrogation sat, and fastening one hand
firmly upon the collar of his coat, the other on the
waisfband Of his sunmentonables lifted him square
nut ofthe seat and bore him down the aisle TO the
& atrance Pausing for a moment there, he turned
his eyes upon his audience, and in clear, full
voice, said, and they cast out the devil in the form
ola daiiler, and saiting the action to the word,
out went the knight of the mash-tub Ia leap frog
fashion, into the street.
'The good pastor quietly returned to his desk,
and completed his discourse. After closing the
services, as he was passing out of the church the
out-cast distier with officer ofthe law escort
ed our clerical friend TO the Office ofa magistrate
TO answer for an assaulttupon the person Of said
distiller After hearing the case, the magistrate
dismissed the clergyman, and after roundly repr
manding the complainant, fined him for melesting
the services ofthe sanctuary.
''Since that day we believe he has never for a
moment doubted tho power Of Methodist preachers
to cast out the devil at least within the limits Of
