tB- A veteran revivalist of western Mas
sachusetts pines for some old-time preach
ing. He remembers when Parson Taggart
had sermon which he was determined
that the people should hear. Having
preached one hour and half on it during
the forenoon, he told his audience that he
concluded to give them the other half in
the afternoon, but, as he was afraid half
of his audience would not be there in the
afternoon, he would then preach the other
half, which he accordingly did, giving his
people sermon over three hours long.

tB- In India, according to the latest ad-
vices, heavy rain continues to fall In the
most doubtful Bengal districts there is no
longer any apprehensions either of sec

fall in the first fortnight in September was

eriment is entirely confident in the future.

EB-A A Boston paper says One Of our
uptown deacons made sad mistake, the
other night. Riding home in a horse-car,
he was accosted by friend with "Ah,
deacon, getting home rather late, eh?'
" Well, yes" replied the deacon, '' It's a
little late, but / have attended prayer
and conference meeting over in Chelsea,
this evening, and the interest was prolong-
ed" Just then be inadvertently removed
his hat, possibly to relieve his conscience,
when two theatre checks fell out on the
floor. 1t is needless to add that Jones
and the deacon pass without speaking now.
tB1- The way men put of important mat
ters to the last moment is one of tho Gu
rious things in nature. The fifth concert
in aid of the Public Library Of Kentucky
was advertised to take place July 81st.
The day after, August 1st, Gov. Bramlette,
the manager, at Louisville, received over
$50, 900 for tickets. Had the drawing TAX
en- place at that time the Governor would
have had to send this money back, but as
the Concert was postponed to November
3Oth, It was all right with them. We pre-
sume that on the first day Of December
next the day after the Concert, thousands
of dollars will be received, one day too
late, for there will be no further postpone
ment. This money might just as well have
have been sent week before, as when II
was. ftrn sff a
