NECK TWISTING IN CHURCH.-A
good story is told of an eccentric old
parson, who was sorely annoyed by a
habit his people had acquired (and
which prevails hereabouts to some
extent Of twisting their necks around
every time any body entered the door
and passed up the isle Of the meeting
house, to see what manner of person
it might be.
Wearied with the annoyance the
old man exclaimed one Sunday:
Brethren, if you will cease turn
ing your head around whenever the
door opens, and will keep your atten-
ton on me, will promise to tell you
as l preach who it is that comes in"
Accordingly he went on with the
services and presently made stop as
one Of the deacons entered, saying !:
"That is deacon -, who keeps a
grocery opposite"
And then he announced in turn the
advent of each individual, proceeding
the while with his sermon as COM
posedly as the circumstances would
admit, when at last stranger walked
in, when he cried out
"a little old man in green specta
Giles and drab over coat-don't
know him. You can turn round
and look for yourselves this time"
1t is hardly necessary to add that
the good man carried his point, and
there was but little neck.twisting seen
in his congregation after that.

On Sunday evening. the 18th inst, of
GENDRE, aged 16 years.
For the sixth time, within the brief
space of fifteen months, has the spoiler in
vaded the domestic premises of the un-
fortunate family to which the deceased
young lady belonged. She, the last VIC
tim gentle, affectionate and beloved-has
been torn away to make sadder the sad
waste of desolate home. These myster-
GUS and appalling visitations are truly
"past finding out" They mock to scorn
the griefs and tears of lamenting relatives
and sympathizing friends, and defy even
the great soother, Time, in his efforts to
repair or eradicate the miseries they entail.
But Hope, which "springs eternal in the
human breast" bids the mourning heart
look aloft, and seek for that priceless con-
ISOLATION only to be found in the divine
assurance of bright reunion with the
loved and lost beyond the grave.
On Monday night, the 10th inst, MAR
GARET ALEXANDRINE MILLETTE.
wife of the late Judge John j Burke, aged
81 years.
The demise Of this excellent lady leaves
void in the family circle, of which she
was the guide and center, that cannot be
filled. Scarcely year has elapsed since
her venerable and lamented husband and
mother and her affectionate son paid the
debt of nature which she, in turn, has lust
been called to pay. Mournful, indeed, is
the reflection, that the insatiate archer,
Death, singles out and fells with unerring
aim 80 many of the loved ones, the pride
and props of the household, enshrouding
the hearts of the survivors with sombre-
ness, desolation and sorrow. He, alone,
who can dry the mourner's tear and give
light and life to dispel the darkness of the
soul amid these crushing dispensations
will, in His own good time, bring to bear
His tender mercies to comfort and console
the stricken and bereaved.
