Gouge was bosom friend of man nam

Mississippi. Mahoney used to tell how
rery large shell was that they used. 1t
was several yards in diameter and had to
be brought on board in sections. The first
time they fired her off, the boat was shot
foui miles away from the ball, which was
SO heavy that it never budged an inch, ex-
cept to drop plumb into the water.
Mahoney was fond of stories, and it used
to delight him to tell how he went to Ven

was no shore there and he spent the day
sitting an front doorstep, afraid to move
for fear he should get drowned.

A Beautiful Passage.

The following is from the reveries of a
bachelor, by Ike Marvel:
"a poor man without some sort of re-
Iigion is at best poor rcprobate, the foot
ball of destiny, with no tie linking him to
the infnity and the wondrous eternity that
is even worse-a flame without heat a
rainbow without color, flower without
perfume. A man may in some sort tie his
hope and his honor to this shifting ground
tackle, to his business or the world, but a
woman without that anchor called faith, is
drift and wreck A man may clumsi
y continue sort of moral responsibility
out of relation to mankind but a woman
in her comparatively isolated sphere, where
affection and not purpose is the controlling
motive, can find no basis in any other sys-
tenn or right action but that of faith. A
man may craze his thoughts to trustful-
ness, in such poor harbcrage as fame and
reputation may stretch before him, but a
woman-where can she put her hopes in
storms if not heaven? And that sweet
truthlulness-that abiding love-that en-
during hope, mellowing every page and
scene in life-lighting them with radiance,
when the worlds storms break like an ar
my with cannon, Who can bestow its all
but holy soul, tied to what is stronger than
an army with cannon! Who has enjoyed
the love of christian mother but will echo
the thought with energy, and hallow it
with tears

A HISTORICAL PARALLEL.

In late speech made in New York, by
Richard O'Gormau, Esq, we find the fol-
lowing reference made to Ireland and the
South. The parallel is complete, and is a
historical lesson that should not be for
gotten:
Ireland, at one time, was swept from
end to end, by great soldier and a great
statesman, who formed his idea that the
only way to hold Ireland in peace was to
annhllate its people. 1t is two hundred
years ago since his track blasted that fair
island, and yet there are many men among
you, whose faces | look upon tonight, who
know that in Ireland there is; no more bit

For fit of extravaganza or folly, 60 to

For ft Of ambition, 90 into church

CoNcETT--Hardly anything is more
contemplate than that conceit which rests
merely upon social position, the conceit of
those who imagine that hey are thus di-
vorced from he clay of common men, of
those who shrink with horror from the idea
of work, as something that degrades by its
very contact, and yet, who, very likely owe
their present position to some remote an
cestor who, recognizing his call to work,
lived more honestly in the world than they
do now, and was not ashamed of soiled
thumbs. 1t is one of the meanest things
for people to be ashamed of the work from
which they draw their income, and which
glori6ed their ancestors more with their
soiled aprons and black gowns. than them.
selves with their fine ribbons and flashing
jewelry. 1t might be fine thing to be
hike the lilies, more gloriously arrayed than
Soloman, and doing nothing, if we were
only lilies. Advantageous position is on
Iy a more emphatic call to work and while
those who hold the advantage may not be
compelled to manual drudgery, they should
recognize the fact that manual drndgery
may be performed in the same spirit as that
which characterizes their own work, and
therefore that it is equally honorable.

PULPIT ECCENTRIcITy.-Rev. Samuel
Clawson, Methodist preacher. of eccentric
manners, sometimes called the ewild man."
was very popular in Western Virginia some
twenty years ago. He.was cross-eyed and
wiry made, and very dark skinned for a white
man. At times he was surprisingly eloquenti
always excitable, and once in while extrav-
agant. He once accompanied brother min-
lister, Rev. Mr. R, prominent pastor, in
a visit to a colored church. Mr.. R. gave the
colored preacher the hint, and of course
Clawson was invited toIpreach. He did so,
and during the sermon set the impulsive At
ricans to shouting all over the house. This
in turn set Clswson to extrayagant words
and actions, and he leaped out of the pulpit
like deer, and began to take the hands Of
the colored brethren and mix in quite happi-
ly. He wept for joy. Then pressing through
the crowd, he found brother r., and setting
down beside him, be threw his arms around
his neck, and with tears streaming down his
cheeks, he said "Brother R, almost wish
I had been barn a niger. These folks have
more religion than we have" "Well, well,"
said brother R., "you come so near it you
need Mt cry about it,"
