Riches and HOnOrs.

A distinguished man lay on hisdeath-
bed, when q great mark OF distinction
and honor was brought to him. Turn
ing a cold glance on the treasure he
would once have clutchcd with IN eager
grasp, he said, with sigh, Alas ! this
is very fine thing in this country; but
am going to country where it will
be of no use to me- Who can reflect
without sadness ON the closing moments
of the gallant Gen. Neill ! His life long
dream was to obtain the little Jatonand
ribbon of marshal OF France. lie could
not sleep after seeing it conferred on
McMahon as reward OF yalor in the
battle of Magenta. Before the next en-
gagement, he told his friends that this
time he would win the prize he 50 much
coveted. The conflict was over and
they sought him anXiously upon the
CORY field. They found him almost
crushed beneath his war-horse, and the
practiced eye Of the surgeon told him
that life would soon be over. Word
was sent to the Emperor, who quickly
arrived, and taking from his own breast
the badge OF the marshal Of France, he
placed it over the heart Of his faithful
follower. The life long dream was re-
allied, and with 4 single throb of cNul-
tant JOY and gratitude he threw his arms
about the neck OF his sovereign; the
next instant he fell back into the en-
brace Of King Death.
Oh, how can we struggle, and toll,
and distract our hearts from the one
great purpose of life, simply to gather
about us possessions which, thoughthey
may be very fine things in this country,
will be of no use to us in the country
we are so shortly going to?

The Baltimore Sun says that the tu-
neral of the late Archbishop SPalding,
was the largest religious demonstration
of the kind that ever took place in Bal
timore. and probably the most lmpos-
inc ever held in this country. The tu-
neral sermon preached by Archbishop
McClosky was very eloquent and
impressive.

THE DEVIL on WHEELS.

The Columbia CoiTaui is responsible
for the story that the devil has COM
menced running trains on the PennSyl-
vania Railroad. Our li;tle cotcmpo-
rary SAYS:
"He Is seen at various places along
the road, and in different shapes. One
night last week, after the Philadelphia
Express left Tyrone station, his Satanic
Majesty got on the engine with Sol.
Hofma>t,r. He looked around for
moment. then takingthc poker from the
fireman, opened the tilrooo and stirred
the fire, at the same time sticking lis
feet in. He then 81, down. stretching
out his immense legs and bringing his
tail around laid il between his c,oycn
hoofs. Sometimes wings could bc seen
about his shoulders lie was very par
ticular about the fire; sometimes he pat
his head in the tire-boX and look around,
then throw In his tail. S,lring the iirc
at a rapid rate. by this time he had
GOT warmed up, and so had the cngin-
Ger and fireman who Were nearly
scared TO death. The engineer WAS
making about thirty-iiNc miles an hour
when the devil picked up the oil-car,
went out and oiled the locomotive III all
It's parts. lie then returned. anI re
Qurstcd Mr. lloimastcr 10 slack up and
leave him of at bridge No. ); but Mr..
II. told him he might &c, oil the same
way he got on The engineer was
then running IT fearful rate ofspecd,
and Mr. Devil stepped TO one side and
disappeared.
We learn since that phantom train
was seen in the vicinity Gi the Gap.
some nights ago, David Wayne, cnSi-
ncer of Az, had stopped for some pur
pose when train was heard approaching
at a rapid rate. knowing there was
no tram due at that hour schedules
were examined carefully; b@t the Siran-
ger could not hc made out. At length
it came laundering around the curve
with an immense head light and other
equipments. The conductor, II. Bell,
engineer, fireman and hrakeSman all
saw and heard the train coming. The
hagman, John X. Newell. Immediately
went back with light and signal caps
upon the rails. The phantom train
came making the usual noise, and light
inc the track with lis huge lurid glare,
when in a twiukling the whole thing
disappeared. Some say it Was Old
Amos Cllmson's traiu-thc notorious
leader of the Gap gang, who died sevc-
raj years ago-and that he was aboard
swinging red light tuIiousy.
John t'ilbcrt, engineer cf the Lancas-
ter train, informs us that when ap-
preaching Pcquca bridge, some nights
ago. he saw the devil on the cow catch
cr of his engine. He was running at
the rate of Thirty miles an hour. He
quickly shut oil the steam and slackencd
up, but could not see anything more of
the strange object These stories are
creating great deal Of comment
among railroad men. we give them
as told TO us, and leave the readers 10
draw their own conclusions.

CHARGES AGAINST A MINIsTER.-Con-
siderable feeling has been created dur
inc the past week in consequence OF
certain alleged charges prejudical to the
character of Rev. DR.. l.. ID. Huston,
pastor, of Trinity Methodist Episcopal
Church South, on the corner OF
Madison avnue and Preston street, and
formerly pastor of ST. Paul's Church,
on West Fayette street. Several prom
inent gentlemen connected with Trinity
Church, some of whom have been en-
gagged in an investigation, make the
following statement in reference to the
affair:
'.Some time last week young lady
in this city, having no connection what
ever with Trinity Church or Sunday
School, addressed note to "a male ac-
quaintance, requesting that he would
meet her by appointment at a house OF
assignation. The gentleman, on the
receipt of the note, stated the fact to
her school teacher, the girl was at once
dismissed from school, and the cause
stated to her mother. On being closely
interrogatcd by her mother as to her
dioracciul conduct, she asserted that
she had been led astray by the Rev. DR..
Huston, of Trinity Church, and gave
the names Of several young ladies, none
Of them having any connection with
that church. whom she asserted had al
so been intimate with DR.. Huston.
When informed Of this statement, DIR.
Huston at once denied the charges as
being utterly without foundation, and
expressed desire that they should be
fully and promptly investigated. An
investigation has been commenced by
the church authorities, and the charges
will be thoroughly sifted. Pending the
result of this investigation DR.. Huston
has resigned his license as preacher.
By the advice OF friends, DR.. Huston,
who is in very delicate health, las left
the civ temporarily, but will present
himself before the authorized tribunal
of the church at such time as shall be
necessary for the trial.
The very high character Of Mr.. Hus-
ton as a minister and man and his
zeal and devotion to his calling repel
the idea of the possibility Of his guilt in
such matter. He is man Of a about
55 years Of age, with wife and adult
chiidren.-BuiiimOre Sun.
