The Volcano lubricator. (Volcano, W. Va.) 1871-1879, 1874-01-20

Rev. w. Gaines Miller is out in
another open letter to us. We sup
pose our readers have become disgust
ed with the "Horton" matter; ifthey
have not, we have, and don't propose
to continue discussing the subject.
Rev. Miller reminds us OF the Ancmonc
Cyassicoyais, which has 4 wonderful
faculty or power Of replacing any
member that may be missing. DR..
Johnson tells OF an Anemone which
swallowed shell. The she'll seper-
ated and stopped its mouth when
miyabiIc dictn!-it opened at its other
extremity a new mouth. So with our
friend Rev. Miller, he found his mouth
stopped and he opened a new mouth,
and then gave us lecture on charity,
in which he saws our charity kept the
people OF Volcano from putting "Hor-
ton" in an oil tank. If so, we are glad
of it. We deprecate violence; we arc
for peace, first, last and all the time.
Rev. Miller says if we will throw our
columns open to him, he will tell
what he knows about Horton" II
the Reverend gentleman read the L.
BR1cAroR, he would know that we
have been for the past two years ex-
posing just such men as he says Hor-
ton is. We really can see no use in
exposing him through our paper now
he is out of our reach. Rev. Miller
had better set him up in some church
paper. It seems passing strange to us
that Horton or Warren or Warner oil
Copeland, has not been exposed before
this, in some OF the church papers Of
the NJ. E. Church. South. Three years
is long while to let an impostor run
| loose.

The temperance lecture at the En-
manuel Church, on Sunday evening
last, was we'll attended, the house be-
ing crowded. The lecture was able and
was eloquently delivered. We no.
ticed the absence Of several persons
whom we would liked to have seen
present. Remember, gentlemen, it
took the united efforts OF all to make
Volcano what she is to-day, and if VIC
do not stand shoulder to shoulder.
and bury orr own private likes and
dislikes, it will not take long for Vol
cano to go back to her pristine state.

Westminster Abbey.

Rev. Chas. Kingsley, poet, novelist, preach
er, and Canon of " estmnster Abbey, who is
now in this country, delivered a lecture in
Boston, last week descriptive Of the Abbey
that famous old cathedral, built 500 years ago,
aud its cemetery, which contains the IllustriOus
dead of England Here is an extract from the
lecture:
The chief glory Of Westminster Abbey-the
thing that makes to be inferred there seem to
an EnRshman the crownlng glory OF glo
rlous hte-is not that kings and queens sleep
there, or that In the scene Of their coronatlOns.
1t is because men Of genius OF every kind
have been entOmbed there, and to lie down
among them is indeed to join glorious COM
pany. Those who were friends once, and
those who were sternest foes, are alike at
peace there. Castlereagh is there in spite OF
Byron aud OF Shelley scorn. Pitt and Fox,
Warren Hastings and Macaulay, Can afford to
be near each other in the Abbey. The Romish
Abbot bones do not stir in their grave beside
the bones of the Protestant divine whom he
would have burned Oh earth if he could
Queen Elizabeth, the old crowned honsSs Of
| England, rests as quietly as fair trail Scottish
! Mary, tor whose sake so much blood was split
The great soldiers are there of the times LetUre
the civil wars whose glory is the common her
tage of America and England. The English
statesmen are there who dared to defend III
| Parliament the reDetlOuS colonies, ana the
poets aud philosophers who spoke our com,
mon tongue, and belonged to all English speak
ing peoples in all times. The place is not sad,
but awful and full of solemn glory. Its very
architecture wants the lightness of the foreign
cathedrals, but it is grand in height and OF
severe proportion. Inside successive architects
have squandered on it the treasures of THEN
fancy, and made it the most splendid specimen
in the world of one of those stone forests III
which the men of old delighted to reproducs
those leaty ministers which God, not man, ha,
built.
The description of the Cathedral, with it,
arches and costers and carving and its Stained
glass windows, which reproduce the hues oil
the MONDAY and and the sunset, the purple Of
the heather, the gold Of the gOrse, the azure
of the bugloss, and the crimson of the poppy
was burst of eloquence and as perfect a piece
Of word painting as one could desire to add t.
this great Abbey. Mr.. Kingsley, its canon
desires, the dust of some great American
One American citizen, a man wise and gooC
and much beloved, has lain there for time
and was then sent home with such we'll earned
} honors as England could devise; but Mr.
Kingsley would have one of our great men t.
sleep there forever, and thus link the two ma
tions together by the sacrament Of common
scpulcher.

off. Taking his place at one side of the
platform, he walked easily in an exact line to
the other side, with his hands in his pockets
and his eyes wandering carlessly. Now, he
went on, put that board at height of tit
teen feet, and not one man in dozen can walk
the length of it without falling off. Taking

catastrophe which led to the destruction of his
and beautiful frenzy of verse Christine,
Christine, thy milking do the morn and eve

the ftful kerosene. For the cow may plunge,
and the lamp explode, and the fire fend ride
the gale, and shrek the knel of the burning
town in the glow of the molten pail !"
