TIRED OF WAITING.-A short time
ago: a Quaker lady, a malden who
had reached the age of sixty, accep-
ted the offer of a man who belonged
to the "world's people" and the
Presbyterian Church, and began TO
prepare for her wedding. As US
ual, a delegation of Friends from
her meeting waited on her, and
demonstrated with her for marrying
out of meeting. The bride-eIect
heard the visitors patiently, and
said:
"Look herel I've been waiting
these sixty years for the meeting to
marry me; and if the meeting don't
like me to marry out of it, why
don't the meeting bring along its
boys?"
That was conclusive, and the
delegation merely replied Fare
WE'LL" and vanished.

IA THE King of Belgium, a
short time since, sent all his silver
spoons, plate, &c. to England for
safe-keeplng. We were at a loss to
account for this precautionary tim
idity on the part of the King of
Belgium, but a paragraph III one of
the French journals explains it. 1t
is there stated that General Butler
had applied for a position in tho
French army.

THIS is a good sample of the material
of which the Radical party in Kentuc-
Ky is composed: At the election last
Monday, in the town of Richmond,
there were 1898 Radical votes cast.
OF these 600 were whites and 1893
were blacks. Notwithstanding this
heavy reinforcement by the Fifteenth
Amendment, the Democrats came out
ahead by a majority OF more than three
hundred.

Mr.. Bennett was pretty we'll as

hr Rev. E. P. Hammond, the
revivalIst, excels II the power of
apt illustration. Noticing, IN one
of his sermons, the apathy into
which professors of religion often
fall, be said: ITO be sure they come
TO the Lords house, and even sit at
the Lords Supper, but that don't
make them his children. 1 have
known hundreds of Just such people,
who imagined themselves the heirs
of eternal life, when IN fact they
were only boarderS IN the house of
the Lord. Their ldleness in the
vineyard of their Master reminds
me of a story told of an old fellow
who refused 20 subject himself to
the influence of the Spirit, and
would hardly attend church at all,
on the plea that he vas an estab>
lished Christian, and therefore
there was no use IN 1t. About this
time he went with his son Dan, q
boy of fifteen, to get a load of wood.
The wagon was piled full, and the
old man c~hirruped to the horse; but
the animal had taken a balky fit
and would not stir. They took him
by the head and tried to lead him;
not IN inch would he stir. Then
the whip was freely used, but 1t
only caused the refractory beast to
kick and rear. without taking a step
forward. The old man threw down
the whip and groaned.
"Dan, what's to be done?" he
cried. 81 don't know, father" the
boy gravely replied. 81 reckon
he's one of your established Chris
