not natively belong, or 10 make thing TO which

THE FAMOUS LOTTERY PRizE.-lt seems
that Mr.. Richard Pension, who recently drew
the half million dollar prize In the Royal IIav-
ana Lottery, Is not left undisturbed In his ell
joyment of the proceeds Of the lucky ticket
Mr.. Elisha D. Whitney, the well known brewer
Of Philadelphia, claims one iialf the prize, and
has attached some $4,000, the undrawn bal
ance of the prize, in the hands of Mr.. August
Belmont, of New York. The deposition made
by Mr. Whitney shows that the latter bases hi,
claim upon 'services rendered" 1Ir. Psnistan

Of the kind was ever made, and that Mr.. Whit

THE GOOD WIFE.


It is just as yod say. neighbor 0reen,
A treasure indeed 10 my wifej
Such another for hustle and work,
have never found in my life;
But then she keeps every one else
As busy as birds on the wing
There Is never n moment for rest,
She Is such ddgety thing.
She makes the hest bread in the town;
Her pies arc n perfect delight;
Her coffee rich golden brown;
Her crullors and puddings just right.
But then, while eat them, she tells
OF the care and worry they bring;
Or the martyr-like toll she endures;
Oh, she's such hdgety thing!
My house Is as neat as pin;
You should see how the door-handles shipe;
And all ths soft-cushioned chairs,
And nicely swept carpets are mine.
But then she 20 frets Mt the dust,
At q fly, at q straw, or string,
That stay out VI doors all can;
She Is such hdgety thing!
She doctors tue neighbors? Oh, yes;
If child has the measles or Group,
She Is there with her safirons and squilh,
Her dainty made gruels and soup.
But then she insists on her right
To physc nv blood In the spring;
And she takes the whole charge OF my bile
Oh, she's such fldgety thing
She knits all my oekings herself,
My shirts are bleached white as the SNOW;
Hy old clothes look better than new,
But daily more threadbare they grew.
But then, nf morsel OF lint
Or dirt to my trowsers should cling,
I'm sure Of one sermon at lenst,
She is such tdgety thingl
You have heard Of a spirit so meek,
80 meek that II never opposes,
Its own 1t never dsres speak
Alasl am meeker than Moses.
But then am not reconciled
The subordinate music to sing
submit to get rid OF q row,
She Is such a hdgoty thing.
It's Just as you say, neighbor Green,
A treasure to me has been given
But sometimes fain would be glad
To lay up my treasure In heaYenl
But then every life has it's cross,
Most pleasures on Garth have their sting;
She's a treasure, Know, neighbor Green,
But she's such fidgety thing

REMiNlscEscE of JouS WEsLEY.-The
Rev DIR. Cuyler, of Brooklyn In an article IN
the Eedngeltsf makes this special reference to
an aged worshiPper in his congregational veri-
table Nestor among living musicians: "Every
Sabbath the venerable Samuel p. Taylor is In
his seat before the pulpit, listening with devoui
interest to the same Gospel which he heard
from JOHN Wesley's lips eighty-four years ago |
Father Taylor is native Of London, and Is now
in his ninaty-fift year. He was the organist
ofthe famous Rowland Hill, In Surrey Chapel,
and has fresh memories Of that most eccentric
apostle, to the London masses. Mr.STaylor is
probably the only man now on this continent
(inless 1t be the centenarian, Captain Larbusch)
who listened to Wesley in the pulpit. He was
also at Wesley's funeral in City-rcad Chapel,
having climbed up one of the gallery-pillars In
order to see over the heads Of the crowd. He
describes the founder Of Methodism as very
apostolic and sanity in appearance, put very
peremptorv in his manner. John Wesley was
n very pious pontif, but a very positive one,
too; and he treated the assemblies of his 'Soci-
ETY. somewhat as a master treats his school,
On the occasion when Mr.. Taylor heard him
preach he tells Inc that the old man arose and
delivered brief fatherly talk to the congrega-
ton, and gave out one Of his brother Charles 8
hymns. The people sang it to duh dolorous
tune, but the old patriarch stamped his foot
quite violently and called out Don't sing it in
that style, give us more life.' A ligelier tune
was substituted, and the veteran seemed TO
enjoy it. have known Mr.. Spurgeon to whip
up his congregation into lively strain Of song
by just such blunt rebuke from the pulpit.

A BRAVE MAN,-"The good Bishop Hugh
Latiner was ordered to preach before King
Henry the Eighth. Something he said in his
sermon offended the King, and he ordered him
to preach again in his presence the following

Though Christians at this day have no prom
i,e that whatever they pray for shall be granted
YET they sometimes have strong Impression on
their minds that IA certain favor they ardently
desire will be bestowed, If they pray for it on
the ground of that impression. But since they
have no promise to believe in, they have no
right to believe In any impression that what
they pray for shall be granted. There is reason
to fear that Christians, many times, believe in
an impression instead OF a promise, and CONF

which it never intended 10 issue. A special

Of the United States District Court of Wiscon
