The Old Man in the Stylish Church.

ny JOHN H. YATES.
Well, wife, Tve been to church to-day--bcon to
stylish one
And seein' you can't go from home, I'll tell you
what was done;
You would have been surprised to 500 what saw
thero To-day;
Tho sisters were fixed up SO fno they hardly bow
ed to pray.
I had on these coarse clothes of ninc--not much
the worse for wear
But, then, they knew wasn't ono they call mil
lionairc;
So they lcd tho old man to seat away back by
the door;
Twas bookess and uncushioned, reserved seat
JorM poor.
Pretty soon in came stranger with gold ring and
clothing fine;
They lod him t. II cushioned seat far in advance
of mine;
thought that wasn't exactly right to scat him up
50 near,
When ho young, and was old, and very hard
to hear.
But, then, there's no accjuntin' for what some
people do;
The finest clothes, nowadays, oft get the finest
pew:
But when we reach tho blessed home and undo
filed BY sin,
We sec wealth. DeBBln 1T tho gate Wnllc pOVef-

watch and pray;"
Watch the doin's of tho Christians sitting round
about;
Pray that God would make them pure within MS
they were pure without.
While sat there, lookin' around upon the rich
and great,
kept thinkin' of the rich man and tho beggar at
the gate;
How, by all tho dogs forsaken, tho poor beggar's
form grew cold
And the angels boro his spirit to the mansions
built of gold.
How, at last the rich man persisted, and his spirit
took it, fight
From the purple and fine linen to tho homo Of
endless night;
There he learned as ho stood gain at tho beggar
in the sky,
" 1t isn't all of life to live, nor all of death to
die"

igous fold
Who went up from their dwellings like tho Phar-
iseo of old;
Then returned home from their worship with Il
head uplifted high,

to satisfy.
Out, out, with suoh profession they arc doing
more to-day
To stop the weary sinner from tho gospels shinin'

Than all the books of inidels; than all that has

How simple are the works of God, and yet how
very grand

Not for the rich only; not for the poor alone.
Then why should man look down on man, because
Of lack of gold'
Why seat him in the poorest pew because hi.

WILL He Do IT?-The jamestown
Journal tells the following, which will do
to go round; There is hymn, among
others sung in our several churches, that
IS very frequently read and sung at-wili
say at the Congregational church, not to
be too articular. 1t is good hymn, the
words and measure being very appropri.
ate to any sermon, and especially adapted
to the choir of that church. The first
stauza alludes to tho duties of the Chris.

not Shall | be found at Thy right hand2"
on the day which most people regard
with good deal of reverence. The sec
ond stanza considers the probability Of
ones being found in that other place, the
place profane people so often refer to in
their conversation. In the third stanza
there is a strong appeal against beirg
found in that other place in the words,
20 Lord. prevent it by Thy grace" But
as We started out to say, it was Sunday
evening, and the congregation. choir ana
pastor were in their places. The man of
God read the hymn referred to, the choir
struck up and the congregation rose in
body to its feet. The first stanza was
6nished, but scarcely had the echo Of
Shall be found at Thy right hand ?"
died away before the choir struck up 20
Lord, prevent it by Thy grace" A few
in the audience saw it and passed the
blind. The chorister omitted the second
'tauza without consulting the man Of God
being only too anxious to hurry the thing
through without regard to the sense Of
he meeting or hymn. It was sung with
u good deal Of earnestnsss. though.

A Handsome Compliment.

The New York Tribune, in summing
up the events of last year, pays Chicago
the following handsome compliment
" The most marvellous city on earth,
in youth, in growth, in dash, and ener-
getic enterprise, e,-met, in one terrible
day, the most marvellous fate. 1t seemed
the destiny of this wonderful product
of the prairies and the inland seas, to
mark its history with incidents which
should always compel men to speak of
it in superlatives. 1t had the most bril-
liant past, the most hopeful future. 1t
was destroyed by the greatest fire ever
known to civilization. Its burning ex-
cited the nation and the world to the
most lavish and generous charity ever
seen. But of all the scenes it has ever
offered to the wonder and appreciation
of men, the finest has been the constant
heart, the undaunted, unblenching
courage, the sturdy and resolute energy
of its stricken but not broken people.
Brave Chicago! May the sun OF the
New Year shine brightly on its renas-
cent glories, and may the memory OF
its disasters be lost in the fame of its
achievements ~

Cure for Somnambulism.

The Vallejo (Cal.) Recorder has the
following: A certain husband living
in our neighborhood has a habit of
walking in his sleep, and his wife got
so tired of having him frisk around the
house during the silent watches of the
night that at last she determined to tie
him fast after he got to sleep. She fast
ened string to his ankle and tied the
other end to what happened to be the
most handy, which was her husbands
double-barreled gun, behind the door
in the corner of the room. About one
o'clock the somnambulist arose for the
purpose of taking a ramble around the
room. When he had taken about six
steps, the artillery came out of its seclu-
sion in the corner, with a jerk, the load
crashing through the panels of the
door. 1t soon brought both parties to
consciousness, and they begged for
Gods sake we would not mention their
names. Yesterday hswas busy putting
a new panel in the door, which is far
better than digging a load of buckshot
out of the baby.

An Alexis Anecdote.

A very pleasant incident in connec-
ton with the visit of the Grand Duke
of Russia to the Massachusetts, Histori-
cal Society rooms is reported by the
Boston Traveller. Just as the party
were leaving, Admiral Poisset took
from his pocket small envelope and
handed it to Mr.. Winthrop, saying that
perhaps the contents would be of suffi-
cient interest to entitle them to place
in the society's cabinet. On opening
the envelope, three oak leaves and a
little twig were found. There were ac-
companied by statement in Russian
that the leaves and twig were taken
from an oak tree in st. Petersburg,
which grew from an acorn planted by
the Emperor of Russia himself, received
from Mr.. George Sumner, of this city,
which he took from tree which shades
Washington's tomb at Mount Vernon.

with oil. Of course this forced the stock
of the oil company down, and Fisk, it
is understood, bought in Stokes's inter
est for 100000. Mrs. Mansfield now
joined her energies to those of Stokes.
She claimed that Fisk owed her some
SAC, 1000, and in proof of this claim put
in copies of batch of love-letters writ
ten to her by Col. Fisk, which were said
to expose all the secret operations of the
Erie and the Tammany rings. Fisk Sc
cured an injunction from Judge Pratt,
forbidding the publication of the letters,
as they were ruled to be scandalous and
irrelevant. During the pending of GER
tain suits between Stokes and Fisk,
Mrs. Mansfield gave the original letters
to Stokes, who Immediately made use
of them. He held them over Fisk's
head, and threatened their publication.
Fisk acted like diplomat. He sub
mitted a proposition to Mr.. Stokes for
arbitration. Stokes, against the advice
of his counsel, accepted Mr.. Clarence
Seward, one of Fisk's counsel, as an ar
bitrator. The letters were placed in
Mr.. Peter B. Sweeney's hands for safe
keeping. Mr.. Seward found against
Stokes on all points but one, awarding
him $4,000 as the price of the letters.
Stokes complained that he had been
swindled, nevertheless he accepted the
$4,000.
The immediate cause of the assas-
sination was probably the reception of
the news by Stokes that Fisk had,
on Saturday, obtained an Indictment
against him for perjury, and that he
was infuriated with the prospect of
being put into Jail second time
through his adversary's influence, and
determined to avenge his real or fancied
wrongs in a summary manner.
