MISSIONARY MEETING. One of the

MISSIONARY MEETING. One of the
most interesting meetings of mission
airy character which it has been our
good fortune to attend, was held at the
Broad street Baptist Church Court
Honse) last evening After the reading
of the 96th Psalm, and the singing of a
missionary hymn, Rev DR.. Miller pas
tor, made few remarks relative to the
great efforts which had been and still are
being made to evangelize the world.
He then introduced Professor Smita,
who delivered an interesting address,
showing the results of the missionary
labors in Burmah Rev. Hollis Read,
of this city, who went as pioneer to
India in 1881, was the next speaker
Mr. Read never spoke with more earn
estness. His illu STATIONS were clear,
and his address most interesting, and it
is to be regretted that time would not
allow fuller statement. He recounted
some of the hardships encountered by
himself and two companions in Gavin
pore, Calcutta and in the interior of
India, where white men had never be-
fore been seen.
The services were of intense interest,
while the results of the missions afford
the most abundant cause for thankful
ness.

nsAs Almost every business man in
Elizabeth advertises in the DAILY Mon
itor-those who do not have promised
to send us an advertisement. We ask
those who are trying to- kill the DAILY
MONITOR" to look at our list of adver
tisers. and show us any paper ever
printed in the city or country that can
compare either in number or respecta-
bility. We encourage home tra1e, and
home trade in return has done every
thing for as. The practice of going to
Newark or New York is a pernicious
one, and should be frowned upon by
all who have heinterests of our people
or the prosperity of onr city at heart.
Encourage our own tradesmen, and
they will thereby be enabled to sell as
cheap as the cheapest. Look over our
columns, and patronize those only who
make known their wants and their pla-
ces of business.

AGane of Poker.

Business before pleasure is good max
i'm, so thought the judge when in Far
Western court the case of Smith u.s. Jones
was called up.
"Who's for the PLAINTIFF" inquired
the Judge, impatiently.
"May it please the court" said rising
member of the legal fraternity, "Pil-
kins is for the plaintiff; but l left him
just now over in the tavern playing a
game of poker. He's got sucker there
and he is SUI to skin him, right smart,
it he has only time. He's got everything
all set to ring a cold deck in which
case he'll deal for himself four aces and
his opponent four queens; so that your
honor will perceive that he must rake
persimmons."
