We have been without a pastor,

Better i'm Theory than in Practice.

Not many years ago two young Erenchman
one wealthy and in possession of ready
cash, the other poor and penniless-occupied
by chance tdc same room IL suburban ho-
tel. In the morning the seedy one rose first,
took from his pocket pistol and holding 1t
to his own forehad, and backing against the
door, exclaimed to his mortified companions:
1t is my last desperate resort: L am pen
niless and tired Of life; give me five hundred
francs, OF [ will instantly blow out my braius,
and you will be arrested as a murderer The
other passenger found himself the hero of an
unpleasant dilemma, but the cogency of his
companions argument struck him ''cold;'
he quietly crept to his pantaloons handed over
the amount, and the other Vamoosed after
locking the door on the outside. Hearing of
this, another Frenchman of very savage as

rawboued eentlemon frem Arkansas, who had
been rather free of his money during the
day, and evidently had plenty more behind.

his pillow, be sat upright. ga man may as

the Gaul, but the latter was too nimble-the

the air and with one frantic leap our little
Frenchman was standing in his night robe
at the foot of the staircase. A proof that
what may suit one latitude will not always

4 Good Reader.-There is no treat SO great

tie force to the heart and tie understanding.

twapgs, cultural notes. h9sitations, and other
vices of elocGtion, are almost universal Why
1t Is so no one can say, unless II b. the pulpit

The Smelling Coaan,iHec.-The style, says
the Washington Ereaiag Star, in which the
majority of Mr. Covode's committee are dis
charging their duties, is in fair keeping with
that iuaugurated by the be-forgotton
Hiss Committe" of the Massachusetts, Leg
lslature. Washington is full of jokes con-
cerning the way in which Mr. G. is peeping
under the political beds he comes across, and
peeping into the contents of what he imag-
ines he finds there. So far, however, he has
found literally nothing. In finding it. be has
exhibited 10 the world the fact that his pur-
pose is not TO seek for truth, but rather, for
some god send maleyoleut gossip, out CT
which he hopes to be able to manufacture
some dirty charge as Hiss was looking up
when ucseing in the dOrnitories Of the reli-
gious house IN CharlestoUn. Massachusetts,.
His questions asked yesterday of Collector
Schell, were as silly as impudent. Yet 1t is
fortunate he asked them; because they prove
that he is already aware that he has so far
discovered nothing whatever on which to base
plausible charge against the President, or
his political opponents at large.

woman to call the old m an to another and

departure from this world. he summoned
his young wife to his bedside, and an
nounced 10 her that he was dying where
upon she wept bitterly. Wycherly lifted
himself up in the bed, and gazing with
tender emotion on his weeping wife,
said:
"My dearest love, I have solemn
promise to exact from you before / quit
your side for ever below. Will you
assure me my wishes will be attended to
by you, however great the sacrifice you
may be called o: to tnake?"
With a convulsive effort and desperate
resolution, she gasped out an assurance
that his commands. however dreadful
they might be. should de obeyed. Then
Wycherly, with ghastly smile, said in
a low solemn voice: ,.
My beloved friend, the parting request

Mrs. Wyckerly dried he eyes. and in the
most fervent manner promised that she
never would, and the faithful woman
kept her word for life. - "sl-'
