A STRANGE AFFAIR.
BY EMERSON BENNETT.

AT a wayside inn, on the old southern
post road, between Philadelphia and Ches-
ter, in the State of Pennsylvania, II very
strange and curious affair occurred in the
fall of 1897. One dark, disagreeable night,
a mounted traveller, mutiled up in great
coat, with its broad cape turned up over
his head like a cowl, his chin and the lower
part Of his face buried in large bandana
| handkerchief, and with a broad black patch
over his right eye, called for supper and
lodging. At the huge fire burning in the
chimney of the bar-room, he sat and
warmed and dried HIMSELF while lis meal
was being prepared, without removing any
of his garments. not even so much as hiE
hat, and when the landlord at length an
nounced that his repast was ready, he sim
| ply remarked:
have a severe pain in my face--so
| you must excuse me going TO the table as |
am"
lie ate his supper in silence, and showed
no spostiou for conversation, called for a
glass OF brandy and water and soon after
asked to be conducted to his room, adding
that he was very much tatigued.
By the way" he said to the landlord,
who in person lighted him to his bedroom,
may as well leave my pocketbook and
watch in your possession till morning,' at
the same time handing these articles to the
host who took them with some reluctance,
saying

yourself-t though I'll keep them for You, if
yon wish me to-
"Youll oblige me by doing So rejoined
the stranger.
"Well, then said the inn-Eeeper, IL
mnst know how much money you've got
here. if I've got 10 be esponsibe Tor it,
Please open the pocket 10 k, then. and
count for yourself" returned the stranger.
The host did so aud said, 6 make two
hundred and fifteen dollars
Right rejoined the ave'er, land
while I'm about it, may as well add this
purse, which contains iliy,oue dollars in
specie"
The landlord also counted the coin, part
gold and part silver said the amount was
right, aud went ou', bidding tLo other good
night.
About two o'clock in the morning,
neighbor, living within stones throw of
the tavern, ane who CHANGED to be up with
a sick child fancied he heard, above the
roar of the storm, which had increased in
violence, wild shrek, followed by two of

He was rather timid man, and was
much alarmed. He blew out the light eau
I onsly, opened the door. looked out and
listened. The storm beat into his face and
howled around his dwelling, but he could
see nothing, not even light at the inn, and
lie heard nothing more that sounded like
human voice. He shut the door and fastened
il, and then woke up his wife aud told her
all. She happened to be woman OF unus.

was stHl in prison. ff
In the course Of HE evidence hc stated
that no had beon a merchant in Philadeh
phia who, finding himself on the eve OF
failure, had collected large amount OF
money and run away, and that all traces of

OF his money in the hands of the inn.keeper,

But The clearing up Of one part OF this
very strange affair only seemed to involve

Even thia, in the course of time, was also

himself accepted. For such, the
record of the past may be concealed.
No Christian cOurtesies must be omit
ted. Conciliatory words may often be
spoken, and kindly measures adopted.
Never, however, can it be yielded that
treason is other than great crime, or
slavery less than great evil, which it
was the duty of the Church to aid In
extirpating. Who admits that the APP
peal to arms has settled the perpetuity
of our Government, and annihilated
human bondage, and will cheerfully
serve his God and preach the Gospel
under such state of things, is our
brother in the ministry. He who
waits to restore the old order of things
must simply be watched with vigilance.
The wrongs that from the beginning
have been the nations curse, can not
be revived in any form, and the Union
is indissoluble now and forever.
The four new Bishops chosen by
the Southern Methodistg are all men

as the biographer of Bishop Capers.
He is now President of the Uniyer-

Quarterly Recieao, and now presides
