PRAYING FOR A HUsBAND.-A young
laly in Norristown, heard that if she
would go out and pray three consecutive
nights. the Lord would tell her who she
would marry. Now it happened that her
father had u young man in his employ,
who had considerable wit and good lIumor
about him. One evening he was out on
an apple tree after fruit. when he heard
some one praying something like this -
"Oh Lord who will marry :" This idea
popped into Doylc's head (that being the
young mans namc) that hs would have
little sport at her expense. SO he spoke
in changed voice. and saic "Doyle."
{" No Lord. not Doyle" cried the aston
ishcd young lady. "Yes Doyle, or no
onc," again sounded from the tree top in
sober hollow voice. She arose and en-
tered the house, resolved to try again the
next evening. Of course Doyle did not
wish to spoil the fun, and so the next
evening found him seated in the tree top.
He did not have long to wait before the
young husband seeker came and COM
menced praying in the same way that she
did the preceding evening, and received
the same answer. The next evening also
found her under the tree pleading to
know her future husbands name, and
again she heard tho answer, Doyle or
no one. She arose. feeling satisfied
that she must marry Doyle. The next
morning she me: him and asked him why
he did not put OF better clothes. He
said he was not nhi. WELL" she said,
father is rich and hs will let you have
money" lie took that for a pretty good
hint, and bought him new suit Of clothes.
In short time he offered his heart and
hand. and was accepted. After marriage
lie told her how her prayers was answered

VELOCITY or ELECTRICITY.-At the
recent meeting at Burlington, w.. of the
American Association for the Advance
mcnt of Science, Dr. Gould real paper
on the Velocity OF transmission Of sig
nails by telegraph" Previous TO the year
1919 it was supposed that the velocity of
electricity through wires was too great to
be easurcd. In that year, S. c. Walker
discovered, willie measuring longitude, q
pcrceptible rctardation. Between Wash
ington and St. Louis the velocity was
found TO be only $4,000 miles per second.
On the submarine cable from Greenwich to
Brussels the velocity was only 5000 or
5000 miles. On the Atlantic cable, Prof.
Gould found the velocity to be between
1000 and 5000 miles per second, being
the greatest when the circuit was made by
tho two cables.

Cattle on n Spree

A drove of cattle going aboard the
Walter Brent, ut Fishkill, night before
last, lost six Of their number which took
for the river and struck out in various
directions at random. Two men went
out in q boat in search of them, and
had hardly got out into the bay before
they heard the most desperate ndagon-
izing shrieks from female voices. Di-
recting their course to the place Of the
screaming, they discovered another
boat containing three ladies, who were
crossing to this city from the cars, in
charge Of a rover, and following them
an OK which made incessant efforts to
get himself upon the boat. Seeing in
the darkness, nothing Of the animal but
his horns and the top Of his head,
hearing his loud snorts of breathing
in the water, and having once heard
his hoof strike the side of the boat, the
girls, as can easily be imagined, were
frightened out of their senses, and the
oarsman quite as much terrified.
Having approached the OK and turned
it away, the escuers found that tho
ladies had tainted away from excite
ment, and that the man, from both his
excitement and his great efforts to keep
from his pursuer, had become utterly
unable to make further effort. Ono Of
the deliverers rowed the ladies to New.
ourgh, and the other, with admirable
presence of mind and skill, fastened u
rope to the horns of the ox and towcd
him back to Fishkill. The other oxen
were successfully reached and taken
~ashore-the last being found under the
ferry dock at Fishkill, having swan be-
tween the piles and found q resting place
for bis head on a heap of stones.

WxpLocK.-It is rather singular that
people should enter the holy state of
wedlock while an engine for the sever
auce of matrimonial ties is in full blast
in the County court. Itwould seem the
hight Of bravado if persons were to
plunge in the lagoon ut North Beach in
hopes of finding gold ut the bottom and
yet everyday cases are recorded of i'm
pulsive people who deliberately join
hands for life, with the visionary antic-
ipation that by so doing they will attain
the acme of earthly pleasure. In some
instances these expectations may be
realized, but the intermiuable pages Of
the divorce calendar show how Elusive
were many of these schemes of happi-
ness. And yet, with these examples be-
fore them, no less than one hundred
and ifty-three couples, during the month
of November, applied to the County
Clerk for "license to marry" Auda-
cious soulsl May they never be given
cause to anathematize those n hun
bred and ffty-three pieces of paper.

New London, illustrative of Groton bus.
mess enterprise, land Grotou is not at
all singular in this respect which runs
thus: A green-grocer in Groton sent
his clerk to New London, one morniup
last summer, with q bag of green corn
to dispose of. The young man was
gone all day, and at night returned with
the bag on his shoulder, and dumped it
on the floor with the remark "There's
your green corn 20 and sell it your
SELF can't" Why" said the grocer,
haven't you sold any?" " Sold. any,

BURGLAR CAUGHr.-Yesterday morn
ing, between 3 and 4 o'clock. Joseph s.
Friend, of the firm of Friend 4 Terry,
returned from the inaugural ball to his
residence in the alley between Second
and Third, Q and R streets. The house
is provided on the side with a double
door Of lattice work, opening inward.
He noticed as he entered that one of the
doors was slightly ajar, and directly
upon his entering the room q noise was
heard of some one moving in the apart
ment besides himself. Thinking it was
S. b. Elwell, his brother-in-law, Friend
asked, "Is hat you, Steve?' and was
somewhat surprised to receive, by way
Of an answer, the command, "Don't
YOU strike a light" The intruder then
made a rush for the door. but was caught
before he could open it. A struggle en-
sued, Friend not being backward in
calling for assistance, and at the same
time maintaining his grip on his adver-
sary with great pertinacity. During the
melee, the thief got his captor's right
thumb in his mouth, and bit it in a
shocking manner. The combatants
worked their way out Of doors, where
Friend threw his man to the ground.
Elwell had by this time arrived to the
rescue, bringing with him a stout hick-
DRY stick, with which he beat the bur-
glar orer the head. Still the fellow
would not let go his hold on the thumb,
and did not until he received two severe
blows on the bridge Of the nose, causing
the blood to flow in jets, when he sur
rendered, and was conveyed to the sta
tion-house and locked up. He gave his
name as William Tyler, and says he has
not been in the city long. He was in
his stocking feet in the room when in

come to us TEEN with accounts from all
parts of the globe, of crime and carnage,
and the most revolving reflections from
the course Of virtue. The soul turns
sick at the loathsome details, and one
begins almost to marvel at the long
suffering Of the Almighty. To wonder
that he should permit this sin-begrim-
ed spot of matter to exist, when with
o breath he could riveitin fragments,
and hurl its iniquitous inhabitants into
the abyss of unquenchable flame and
never ceasing misery. "oh Lord, how
