ATTEMPT TO KILL A RIVAL IN CHURcu

ATTEMPT TO KILL RIVAL IN CHURCH.
On Sunday evening of last week, the
congregation worshiping in the Beaver
Street Methodist Episcopal Church, at
Allegheny, Nd, was thrown into state
of excitement by the report of a pistol
which had been fired in the vestibule of
the church Immediately after the conclu-
sion Of the sermon. Upon inquiry it APP
peared that one Lawrence Dilworth, who
had determined on accompanying young
lady of his acquaintance home, followed
her from the body of the church into the
vestibule, where he had the modification
of seeing her take the arm of rival,
named Charles Kehew. Stung with rage
and disappointment, Dilworth drew a
pistol, and aiming it at Kehew, pulled
the trigger; at the same instant his arm
was struck up by bystander. The ball
thus diverted missed its intended object
and lodged itself in the wall, from whence
it was subsequently dug. Dilworth was
held to bail to answer charge of assault
with intent to kill.

Have a Purpose in Life.

Young man, have purpose in life.-
What do you intend TO be, or do? The
question strikes you, perhaps, with some
thing like novelty. Yet it is the great
one on which your future place in the
world depends. If no life purpose is yet
formed in your mind, it is full time that
You sat-down and spent season in grave
reflection. Without an earnest purpose.
nothing can kbe done in the world worth
accomplishing. Thought, will, energy
and work-are the elements of all success
these are tho materials out of which
men construct their fortunes, and if YOU
are dreaming Of wealth, honor or position
In the future, and have not these to build
with, advancing years will see the struc-
ture that now rises pleasantly in your fan
cy fading away like the baseless fabric of
vision.
A young man inquired of Daniel Web
ster If there were room yet it the legal
profession? YES" replied the states
man, "plenty Ct room in the upper sto-
ries." And so in the several trades and
professions, there is plenty of room in the
upper stories. But only few have the
energy 10 climb up and occupy them.-
All honor to the few.
We hear daily the complaint, that all
professions, and all branches of industry
are crowded. And so they are with the
aimless and mediocre. But there is plen-
ty Of room for all of them-verge and
scope enough for live men, with talent,
earnestness and will. Unhappily the
large number of young men are wasting
their hours in sensual indulgence or pleas
ure seeking. We find them nightly at
the theater, the opera, the ball, or in COM
pany of idle men and frivolous women,
content if they can reach the dignity of
an operate critism, or talk learnedly of
the reading and acting of some favorite
wearer of the sock and buckskin. A poor
and mean ambition this; no wonder the
is dwarfed, and has in it no bet
ter aspiration.
A few years will pass, and then we
may look for the great company of these
aimless ones, but in vain. Their mark
will be seen nowhere upon society nor
their name be heard when the worlds
benefactors are spoken of. Are you con-
tent young man TO be numbered with
these. If not, grid up your loins, and in
good earnest seek to acquire the highest
ability in your art, calling or profession.
Let each day see you advancing as the
sun shines, or the water runs, would you
rise above the common mass. And Just
in the degree that your motives are hon.
orablo and unselffsh, add happiness to
success in life.-Arthur's Home Maga-
zine.
