The EpIsoopAL SUNDAY School. GATHERING
The second annual gathering of the Episcopal
Sabbath Schools under the auspices of the Sum
day school committee of the Diocese took place
yesterday, at st. Johns church. and was in every
respect pleasant affair. The church, which was
appropriately decorated, was filled with the
friends OF the schools. and the exercises were of
an interesting character Addresses were made
by Bishop Lee, of Delaware Bishop Stevens, Of
Pennsylvania, Rev. Dr. living, of New York,
Secretary and General Agent Of the Board of
Missions of Episcopal church Over twenty
ministers were in the chaneel. The addresses
were interpersed with music, both vocal and in
strumental which was very fnsly rendered.
THE Cry FGNANoEs-In asking authority from
Council, last night, to borrow $4,000 to meet
the current expenses of the city, Mr.. Pickels,
Chairman of the Finance Committee, made the
verbal statement that there were but SO 500 in
the Treasury. During the past season an un-
usually large amount of important work had
been performed, and as the collections of taxes,
of which there is still outstanding some 555 900,
could not be made, it would be necessary to bor-
row money to complete tho work now under way.
But if these uncollected taxes could be gathered
into the Treasury, and the money could be re-
a'ized upon the amount upon the books for as
sessments for curbing, paving, etc., amounting
to about $l40, 900 there would be no need to bor-
row. or bonds unsold there are about $32 700.

Several thousands OF men women ana
children gathered on the lot at Forty-trst
street and iPowelton avenue Monday 10
witness the ascension Of Prof. Light in
the EVsning Herald balloon. During the
morning there was a strong wind from
the west, which somewhat lnterfered with
the work OF filing the balloon with gas,
but in the afternoon the wind died away,
and the sky became thinly over clouded,
making the weather pleasant for those
who were present. Many patients OF DR..
Kirkbride's Insane Asylum were taken to
the grounds in charge of keepers, that
they might see the ascension, and the
roofs Of buildings In the neighboIhood
were filled with people.
About quarter before three O'Clock
the balloon was fully expanded, and
Prof. Light and Richard NJ. Chism, OF
the Epsning Herald, entered the car. The
balloon, having been released from the
stays. ascended slowly, taking course
slightly north Of east and ascending
probably half mile. Carrier pigeons
that were taken up in cages were then
released and few towards the city, but
soon disappeared from sight. The bal
loon appeared 10 meet with another cur
rent Of air about three-feurtbs of q mile
from the earth and drifted rapidly of TO
the southeast. IL seemed 10 be about one
mile above the ground and was still bear
ing away to the southeast, when II disap-
peared from the view of the spectators on
the ground. -Philddelphid Ledger Of this

WOMAN AND WOOD-PILE
How Beavon's First, Best Gift to Nan
Saws Wood.

"Did yOu ever sec a woman undertake
to saw wood II is always q little while
before dinner, when the pies wont bake,
ard the POTATOES absolutely refuse To come
to the boiling point, and the only stick of
wood is exactly three inches too long.
After vain attempts prove the elasticity
of matter by putting "A two foot three
inch stick into a twO-foot stove, she goes
out tO the suw-horse, puts her knee On
tho refractory stick in the way she has
seen men do. But the edges Of the wood
are sharp, and she takes il down with an
ejaculation, and with Il growing disregard
ior appearances, puts her foot on 1t
instead. Her hair never fails to come
down Mt this juuctnrc, and she has 10
top and tHist il into a tight knot behind
before hcgnning 10 saw. Here the saw
commences 10 frantic jumping and skip
ping Cn its own account, The whole tcmi-
nine mind being concentrated upon keep
ing up the foot that is up, and down the
foot that shonld be down, until, in an
unlucky moment, the centre Of gravity
is lost, the stick flies up and launches II
blow at her nose inst as somebody is
going by.
She stops and prctends to be looking
for something, while dark thoughts Of
divorce AID separation llash through her
mind, and she VOWS ia her innocent soul
that she n,a4c H.ll attempt to say WoOd
agaiu if There never is any dinner. But
her pride and her dinner are at stake, and
MI her ohstnlcy comes to The suriuce /;
/ she will conquer { lat stick or die. Fned

potatoes boiled dry, and the pie IN Il stntc

come home fron school and the husband
from his shop, and liud Kind of hushcd

silence and bitterness of heart, and thcu
the wife of his bosom inquiries If she is
expected 10 take care Of the stables and

the woman drous sarcasm and breaks
down in the declaration that she n-e-v-e-i

Shifting the rOck-bound hours
TIL the waters of life How free,
And a soul, on pinion strong,
Flieth aitr, and hovers over the infinite sei

While the blind fates weave their nets,
And the world in sleep iotgeta.

And the night and the stars, and God
song from . burning breast,
OF a land Of perfected delights,
Which the loot OF man ne'er trnd,
Like a lnaming WINE expressed
From passionate fruits that glOwed
Mid the bOughH of the Eden lost,
Ere sin WAS horn and frost.
Song wild with desires and regrets,
While the world in sleep iorgeia.

Flaming tOt guidance and hope.
While the stOrm-winds wage their wars
Balm tor the ancient wrong,
Dropping from healing wings
On the wounds Of the heart and the brain
Quenchiug their ancient pain;
L1ve-star that rises aud sets,
While the world in sleep iOfgets.
