Sturgeon

A meeting Of the friends of Mr..
Spnrgeon, was held in the partly COM
pleted Tabernacle, August 2lst, for
the purpose of hearing from Mr..
Spurgeon, some account of his receut
tour upon the continent Several
ministers and gentlemen preceded Mr..
Sturgeon, who ultimately gave his
narrative in a hurried and somewhat
disconnected form He referred TO
the prevalence Of superstition on the
continent, and said he went out with
the s. Irish Brigade, " intended for the
protection of the Pope. He never
saw sueh an irregular set of brutes
before in his life. There waa a great
scarcity of luggage-they had only
one handkerchief, and some boiled po-
tatoes hong them. Antwerp he des-
cribed as the most religious place on
the face of the earth, in bad sense
it was full of superstition, and images
of the Virgin Mary aboundcd at every
corner.
With regard to the Pope, he hoped
his rotten throne would soon fall, and
that Garibaldi would be the means of
shaking it. Prolonged cheers follow
ed this remark. OF Cologne, he re-
membered more of what he smelt than
what he saw Albert Smith had said
there was seventy different descrip-
tions of smells, but he had found that
every half yard gave something more
horrible than he had met before. Ba-
den was goddess place He went to
see the gaming table, and thought it
the most frightfnl sight he ever be-
held Those were best off who lost.
If they lost it served them right, but
if they won the devil would have
them. In Prussia he was glad to find
great hatred of Louis Napoleon, and
he feared that some day catastrophe
would occur, which would make the
people of England regret that they
had allied themselves to tyrant, and
not to Prussia their natural ally
In Prussia he found all the work done
by women, and it made him truly in
dignaDt. IT," said he, l had been
one of the strapping women | saw,
and with my husband smoking his
pipe, and looking on while l worked,
and there had been an act for giving
wives who beat their husbands two
months Imprisonment, | would have
broken that act. !"

ter merchant fifty blows with conr-
bash on the soles Of his feet.
When the court had risen, I asked
the Nagib how he ascertained that
the woman was the wife of the katib,
and the money the property of the
fruiterer.
Nothing more simple, +" replied he
You saw how went up into the
fourth story with the woman and the
money. Well, when we arrived there,
| ordered her suddenly to clean my
inkhorn, when, like one accustomed to
that work, she Mt once took it, drew
out the cotton from it, washed it
properly, replaced it on the stand and
filled it with fresh ink. Then said /
to myself, '1f you were the wife of the
fellah, you never could have cleaned
an inkhorn like that; you must be
the vile OF Jn6 kaIlD. "
Good |" said I, bowling in token
of assent. so much for the woman,
now how about the money ?"
:" The money was quite another
business" replied the Nagib, smileing
with a self-satisfied expression, as he
leered at me with a look full of artful-
ness and craft. You must have re-
marked how exceedingly buttery the
butter merchant looked, and how
greasy his hands were in particular. =
Well, | put the money into vessel
of hot water, and upon examining the
water carefully, l conld not find n
single particle of grease that had come
to the surface. Then said I to myself
"This money belongs to the fruiterer,
and not to the butter merchant, for
had it belonged to the latter, it must
have been greasy, and the grease
would have come to the snrfaoe of the
water"

said: " In good faith, / doubt

riment as he watched the course ta-
ken by the missing tile AT this juns-
ture Mr.. M. j. Nicholson, the very
courteous secretary of the entertaining
committee of one hundred, came to the
relief of the Prince in a most grace
full manner, by rendering his own hat
until the missing one should be recov-
cred. The Prince gracefully accept
ed the courtesy, and placed the tile
upon his occiput, where it rested on
back of his coat collar and his organ
of locality, the latter being just above
the right eyebrow. The Prince wore
the secretary's beaver until the Lon
don article was recovered, and then,
with graceful recognition the cour-
tesy, an exchange was made. Mr.

An Incident of the Princes
Visit.

AS every body knows, on Wednes-
day last the Prince of Wales paid a
visit to Girard College. After view
ing the interior Of the establishment,
the entire party assembled to the roof
to view the city and environs from
that elevated position. The stairway
leading to the roof is very narrow,
and upon the staircase was a mixed
company comprising the Princes en-
tire retinue, the Mayor, the committee
to entertain the Prince and various
citizens of note According to ETH
qnette the Prince walked in front OF
the rest, the Duke of Newcastle and
the Earl of st. Germans behind him.
AS Albert Edward projected his head
above the 'sscuttle," an irreverent
breeze whisked off the Princes hat.
The tile rolled JOLLY over the roof,
and, like courser over stone fence
at o grand steeple chase, leaped the
balustrade and decended to the ground
below. The Prince laughed at the

Mr. Charles Cist, who took the
census in 1850, and is taking the CEN
sus of the Fifth Ward this year, tells

Walking a Raft.

There was fellow once stepped
out of the door of tavern on the Mis-,
meaning to walk mile up the shore
to the next tavern Just at the land
ing there lay big raft, one of the
regular old fashioned whalers-a raft
mile long
Well, the fellow heard the landlord
say the raft was mile long, and he
said to himself, | will go forth and see
the great wonder, and let my eyes
behold the timbers which the hand of
man hath hewn." So he got on the
lower end, and began to ambulate ov
er the wood in pretty fair time. But
just as he got started, the raft started
too, and as he walked up the river, it
walked down, both travelling at the
same rate When he got to the end of
the sticks, he found they were pretty
near ashore, and in sight of a tavern
so he landed; and walked straight in
to the tavern he'd come out Of The
general sameness of things took him a
little aback, but he looked the land
lord steady in the face, and settled it
in his own way
"Pnblicans," said he, care you eff
ted with a twin brother, who keeps q
similar sized tavern, with q duplicate
wife, COMFORTING wood-pile, and cor
responding circus bill mile from
here p
The tavern keeper was fond of fun,
and accordingly Said it was just so.
"And, publican, have you among
your dry goods for the entertainment
of q man and horse, any whiskey of
the same size of that of your broth

And the tavern man said that from
the rising of the sun to the going
down of the same he had

stranger said,

A Child's Prayer.

About twenty-four years ago lit
tie girl Of nine years, the daughter of
sceptic and drunkard, was connect
ed with one of the classes of a Sab
bath School The teacher was
most devoted and faithful laboror.
The department of this little girl was
such as to win the affection and kind
est care Of the teacher, who, on one
occasion presented her with beauti-
full copy of the Scriptures The little
girl could hardly contain her joy
She FASTENED home with the treasure,
with glowing, throbbing heart. As
soon as she entered the house, she
rushed to her father, exclaiming, %,
see what my teacher has given mel
holding up beautiful Bible The
father was sitting by the stove at the
time, and was under the influence of
liquor. In anger he seized the book
and erammed it into the fire. The
child stood in amazement for an in
slant, unable to say word. Then
she dropped upon her knees, and with
tears gushing from her eyes, implored
God to have mercy on her father.
That prayer offered in the innocence
of childhood, and gushing right out
from that dear little heart, was heard.
The mother began to weep, the 9TH
ers were overcome, and that fathers
heart was pierced by the arrow of
conviction. From that hour to this
the result of that child's prayer has
been gathering and increasing for the
glory of God. The father now lives,
and for four and-twenty years has been
q constant 'ecmmunicant in the church.
The mother also is in the church,
and every member of the family has
been converted to God
That little girl is now mother,
and trains her offspring for the Lord.
She is throwing her good influence
around large family for the honor of
her Master. This is the only one of
hundreds Of instances where the Sab
bath School has blessed the parents
as well as the children.

Notwithstanding the evidence of intox-

She never finished the sentence that
she had commenced.
With a wild cry of despair, the
young man drew pistol from his
pocket and before word could be
spoken, or hand raised to interfere,
her brains despatched the wall, near
which she stood And while yet the
report echoed in the room, and the
sitting smoke rose over her body, the
young gambler cooked a second bar

senselessness, clenches the muscles into
