borers numbering six went to Carter's place
at Chubb's landing, and having imbi5ed
pretty freely, the bar-kceper refused them

They commenced fighting and rowing,

Going to their shanty, they kept up the
brawl ending with a fight. Mr.. Carter was
absent at the time, and being informed of
the occurrence on his return at once deter

Ia SoNNAuHr Alcler, in the sat
urday Evening Post, says that Mortimer !.
I.oomiS is now one of the most violent of
the dcnunciatorS Of railroad manopOlics
Since his last adventure on the cars he hates
a railroad worse than an Arapahoc Indian
hates 4 lald-headed Presbyterian. Lo0mis
has fits of somnambulism occasionally, and
at such times he has an uncomfortable ten
dencv to wander into dangerous places. More
than once he has been surprised, upon
waking, to find himself roosting on the
comb of the roof or hanging head-ioremost.
down the well, with one leg around the
bucket handle. lie went ont 70 PittSburg,
4 few days ago. and when he entered the
sleeping ear the thought struck him that he
might get to prowliag about during the night
while asleep, and walk OFF the platform
into a better world. So he went TO the
brakeman and gave him dollar. with strict
instructions that if he saw Mortimer j,
Ioomis walking around that car in his sleep
to seize him and force him hack at all hazards
Then LOOMS turned in, and soon his rever-
berating snore echoed the Screcch Of the To-
com0tiye About two O'Clock LOOMS awoke,
and as the air of the ear seemed sitting, he
determined to 60 out on the platform for a
fresh breath or two. just as lie got To the
door. that vigilant bnkeman saw him, grab
bed him. fOored him and held him down.
When Ioomis recovered his breath, he in
dignantly exclaimed, "You immortal ass
What do You mean2 Lct me get up. | tell
you, am as wide awake as you are" But
the myrmidon Of a grasping corporation put
another knee on Loomis's breast, and insist
ed that Loomis was asleep; and then he
called another brakeman, and after terrific
struggle, during which LOOMS received
bumps and blows enough to wake an Egyp-
tian mummy that had been dead for six
thousand years. the railroad man jammed
him into berth, put trunk and eight car
pet bags on him, and then sat on him to hold
him down until morning. The first thing
Mr.. .Loomis asked for when lie arrived in
Pittsburg was a respectable hospital where
they cured the temporarily insane. lie
thinks his reason was partially dethroned by
his effort to comprehend how that brake
man could have the face to ask him for anoth-
er dollar because of the trouble LOOMS gave
him daring the night.

The MIsERERE At ST. PETER's.-There i
one grand and sublime ceremony. the Mis-
| erere Of St. Peters. The music Is exquisite
the effect surprising. Rome found in
the sixteenth century, the sublime
Palestrha, the Michael Angelo of the
lrye. The Pope forbade the reproduction of
his Miserere, in order that it should be heard
only in that church whose gigantic arches
were completely in harmony with its sub
Unity. One day noble youth heard, en-
tanced, tie Misererc. This youth. who
may be called the Raphael Of music, learned
it by heart, and diyulged it to the world.
He was Mozart. The German genius came
to steal the secrets of the Latin genius in
the eternal war between both races. No
pen can describe the s0lemnitv of the Mis-
ererc The night adyances. The basilica
Is in darkness Isr affairs are uncovered.
Through the open arches there ponetrates
the uncertain light Of dawn, which seems to
deepen the shadows. The last tnper Of the
tenehrario is hidden behind the altar. The
cathedral resembles an immense mausoleum,
with the faint cleaning of funeral torches in
the distance. The music Of the MisereTe Is
not instrumental. 1t Is n sublime choir adj
mirahly combined. Now it comes like the
iar-of roar Of the tempest, as the vibration
OF the wind upon the ruins or among the
expresses of t5nhs again. like lamenta-
ton from the depths Of the earth, or

MARRIAGE AND THE GIRLS.

tits complaint as old as man, says
writer in the Saturday Reyieao, that
we only know how to live when we
have done with life. The saying is
essentially true to as marriage and of
the right kind of person to choose.
Girls of romantic tendencies think
they ought not to marry unless with
the most passionate .tatrOre of love.
They do not know that respect and
compatibility of temper are better
sureties for happy life than pas
sion which must in time wear itself
out, however strong it may be now,
and of which the best hope is that it
may become friendship. Good plain
common sense men, who would make
excellent husbands but are nothing
to look at, are refused by certain of
the feather eaded, in favor of a
dream that has no more substance
than a soap-bubble. Or personal
worth is refused for mere wealth,
quite as often as for penniless ro-
nance. The man of girls fancy is
too handsome TO be traitor, roue,
weak, or of so hayward a temper
that her life, if she worries him, will
be simply torture. She is sure of
him, she says, with Indignation,
when stony headed wisdom points
out his patent flaws, and experience
breaches caution and remuneration.
She knows that love will not fly out
of her window when poverty stalks
in at the door, or she does not be-

evidence. And even if he is, she
comforts herself with the sensible re

no woman is proof against the seduc-
ton OF reforming the man that she
loves, and bringing him to virtue by
means of her wiles. She is in love,
and she believes that her love is
eternal. Pretty girls OF poor circum-
stances and belonging to large fam
lilies, whom it would be an incalcula.

The Bible Grows with One.

If you come to the Holy Scrip.

grows upon you. 1t is ever beyond

wherein they are faulty. Nobody
ever outgrows the Scriptures; the
Book widens and deepens with our

grow, for it is perfect; but it does so
to our apprehension. The deeper
you dig into the Scripture, the more
yen find that it is great abyss of
