She tore her red flannel gown from her

both hands, while her daughter swung
round her head blazing chair post a

The lives of hundred unconscious

minute. The ground trembled at the
old woman's feet. The great red eye Of

train and all its passengers would have
plunged and into death and destruc-

been for the old womans signal. They
did not stop to thank her first for the
deliverance, The conductor knelt down
by the side of the engine; the engine
driver and the brakemen came and knelt
down by him; all the passengers came
and knelt down by them, and there, in
the expiring light of the burnt out pile,
in the rain and the wind, they thanked
God for the salvation of their lives. All

up into the dark heavens such a mid

The Dowry OF the Princess Louise.


Although there has been no little Oh
position in England lately to the prac-
tice of supporting the scions of royalty,
and strong pressure was brought to
bear against the granting Of dowry to
the Princess Louise, soon to marry the
Marquis ofLorne. custom has triumphed,
and Republican ideas in England have
met with another rebuff. The House of
Commons recently unanimously voted
to the Princess ESQ, 600 as dowry, with
an annual allowance of 10000.
When Queen Victoria surrendered the
crown lands, with the exception Of the
Duchy of Lancaster, reserved to her
self, and the Duchy of Cornwall, as
signed to the Prince of Wales, she re-
ceived in return a civil list fixed at e3s5,-
900. The lands thus surrendered yield
a surplus of some 100000 after paying
the civil list, not including the grants to
the Prince Of Wales, his brothers and
sisters, and the Cambridge family, which,
with the revenue of the two duehies,
bring the total expenditure on the royal
family up to 65S2OQQ. Three children
of the Queen, besides Princess Louise
have yet to be added to the pension list,
Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold and
Princess Beatrice, and il the ordinary
precedents are followed, these new
grants will soon swell the expenditure
on this accOunt TO s6Q0,Q00 year, ex-
elusive Of the sum paid in lump on mar
riages, and the salaries as rangers Of
royal parks, oolonels of regiments, etc.

WITHOUT THE CHILDREN

o the weary, solemn silence
OF house without the children
o the strange, oppressive stiffness
Where the children come no more
oh the longing Of the sleepless
For the soft arms of the children;
All the longing for the faces
Peeping through the open door
Faces gone for evermore!
Strange il is to wake at midnight,
And not hear the children breathing;
Nothing but the old clock ticking,
Ticking, ticking, by the door.
Strange to see the little dresses
Hanging up there all the morning;
And the gaiters-ah their patter,
We will hear ii never more
On our hearth-forsaken floor.
What Is home without the children?
'Tis the earth without its verdure,
And the sky without the sunshine,
Life is withered to the core!
So we'll leave this dreary desert,
And wen follow the Good Shepherd
To the greener pastures vernal,
Where the Lambs have gone before >
With the Shepherd evermore!

The Modern sermon.

The Chicago Times hits off the ser
mons of the day as follows:
There is no doubt that preachers and
sermons of the day may be divided into
the secular and religions, with an in
creasing majority among the former
The time of old-fashioned exhortation, OF
dootrinal argument, Of scriptural expo
sition, and of purely religious thought in
the Sabbath day church exercise, is un-
doubtedly passing away. To review the
life of the Savior of orthodoxy after the
fashion q Renan, TO speak of st. Paul
as an insignificant Jew, as Beecher does,
to award progress a higher place in re-
ligion than revelation, are the tenden-
cies of the modern preacher. Instead
Of The religion thus displaced we have
rhetorical considerations of the COM
mercial, political and social aspects of
the day. ...,.-
There is reason to doubt very seriously
whether this pulpit innovation is condu-

The Rev. John Brown courted a lady
upward of six years, and was so singn-

The Power of a Corporal.

The Weston Democrat relates the fol-
lowing story concerning Hon. j. NJ Ben,
nett, of that place, who was Auditor Of
the State of Virginia during the war:
On one occasion during the war, when
provisions were worth almost their weight
in gold in Richmond and Confederate
money at its lowest ebb, it was Mr. Ben
netts custom to go to market early in
the morning. On his return at the time
we speak of, as he was vending his way
home with about 5000 or $40O worth of
provisions in little basket, soldier
with gun and bayonet, and lin battle
array" marched hurriedly up to him,
and slapping him on the shoulder, said [:
" Sir, want you-you are conscripted
into the armyl"
II reckon not" said Mr.. Bennett.
I" am not liable to military duty"
" j have heard that sort of talk be-
fore,' said the soldier, so on you go. T"
But" said Mr.. Bennett, 81 am n
State officer
You can't come that game over me.
I've told you to go on; and if you don't,
I'll touch you up with the bayonet." "
" Well, take me to Governor Letcher. "
The devil take Governor Letcher."
" Then take me to General Breckin-
ridge.
II have nothing to do with him-so
