In the Methodist Conference at
Louisville last week, a demand was
made of the Bishops that, in their
pastoral address they should ex
press their disapprobation of cope
ratio performances in the churches.
One of the members defined what
he meant by ;operetic performances,
by describing them as such exquis-
itely artistic singing as to drown the
sense of the words with noise.
Now it is very true that the noise
of the opera often browns the sense
Of words when they have any
and this is particularly the case
when an italian opera is sung be-
fore an English audience.
But the perversion of sense to
sound is not confined to the grace
less opera, for, if we are not mis-
taken, it was a full congregational
chorus that made the walls of the
meeting house resound with the
remarkable petition:
30 for man-O for man-O for mansion
in the sky!
Send down sal-send down sal-send down
salvation from on high"
Now was it, if our memory serves
us, choir, whose artistic style
forced the old people to fold up
their spectales and sorrowfully lay
down their books that begun that
song of trusting faith:
80 take this PHO take this pil---O take
| this pilgrim home"

At last it rained a little on Thurs
day night. Friday morning it rained
some more, and that evening it came
down quite lively, SO that the water
ran a little in the cutters and the
streets were muddy. We were all
glad to see it. The rheumatics laugh
ed and cried at the same moment
were. glad to see the rain, but oh! that
pain in the back. We noticed one
poor unfortunate at the depot waiting
in the gentlemen room for the train.
When the train came he moved to
get up and go out, and in doing so
reminded us of that part in the play
of Rip Van Wrinkle where Rip awakes
from his sleep, only Rip was success
full. finally, in getting up, and this fell
low was not. We left him, his face
expressing calm resignation.

Last Thursday afternoon a gaWk

Last Thursday afternoon a gawky
boy was riding along Main street on a
horse. The horse was old, decrepid,
and stiff in the Joints; and the hoy
was young, from the country, and was
taking in the signs along under the
second and third story windows.
When in front of Bennett S livery sta
BILE the horse walked into a front
wheel of rockaway, with three oecu-
pants, two Of them ladies' The horse
comprehended the situation sooner
than the boy, and began vigorous
kicking to extricate hind leg that
was badly wrapped up among the
spokes. The old rockaway swayed to
and fro, the ladies screamed, and the
boy was non plussed. The axle finally
came to their relief by bending two
or three inches out Of line, and free
ing that hoof from the vice wherein
it was held. Almost simultaneous
with this the boy and the horse were
turning up fifth street, to be seen no
more, the alattcrs carrying that hind
leg rather t'game,s very much like
dogs we have seen.

The time of year approaches when,
in ''our good old grand fathers days"
they used to gather around the ample
old fashioned fire places of evenings,
and talk over the events Of the day to
the music of the mug of cider simmer
ing low, and the apples suffering in
row on the hearth. The scene has
changed a bit. Our modern coal
CRATES amt so we'll adapted to the
baking Of apples; and as to the cider,
we just guip that down cold, now, and
glad to get it that way pure and fresh.
We don't exactly sigh for the good
old tines" but we would like to have
one of the old fashioned e-places-
for which We always had a particular
foudness--to sit before on winter
nights. But there is no use talking
unless one keeps a woodward.

For the first time, on last Saturday
night, we witnessed. the eclipse of this
luminary, (which occurred about IL o.
clock-total shortly after one, and we
do not regret sitting up with Miss
Luna until the wee sma' hours" for
the privilege of seeing her usually
bright face covered Tor a short time
with a vail of sadness-a shadow-and
we now know that even "Lunas
countenance can he hid by something
else beside clouds of dense blackness,
These eclipses are caused by the moon
passing through the earth's shadow.
and it is no longera mystery that the
laws of the solar and lunar motions
enable the astronomer not only to fix
the exact time for an eclipse; but pre-
diet its exact magnitude, duration
and phases. Chambers Encyclope-
dia says, that "the ancient were able
to predict lunar eelipses with toler-
able correctness by means of the lu
mar cycle of Is Julian years and IL
days Their power of doing so turned
on this, tsat in 223 lunations the
moon returns almost exactly to the
same position in the heavens If she
did return to exactly the same posi-
ton, then, by simply observing the
eclipses which occurred during the
223 lunations, we should know the or
der in which they would recur in all
time coming. All lunar eclipses are
universal or visible in all parts Of the
earth which have the moon above
their horizon, and are everywhere of
the same magnitude with the same
beginning and end; and this univer
salty of lunar eclipses is the reason
why it is popularity thought, contrary
to the fact, that they are gilmore fire.
quent occurrence than solar eclipses
| The eastern side of the moon or left
hand side as We look towards her from
the north, is that which first immerges
and emerges again. The reason of
this is, that the proper motion of the
moon is swifter than that of the earth 8
shadow, so that she oyertakesit with
her east eide Foremost, passes through
it, and leaves it behind to the west.
1t will be readily understood, from
the explanations above given, that to-
tai eclipses and those Of the largest
duration happen in the very nodes of
ecliptic. But from the circumstance
of the circle of theshadow being much
greater than the moons disc total
eclipses may happen within small
distance of the nodes, in which case
however, their duration is the less.
The further the moon is from her
node at the time, the more partial the
eclipse is, still, in the limiting case,
she just touches the shadow and pass

In New Garden, October 10th, 1874, of scar
let fever, BERTHA, son of Thomas and Viola
aged one year, five months, two
weeks and six days.
The long sleep that knows no waking
Now has closed his eyes in death;
Oh! what agony to watch him
Slowly yielding up his breath.
Father, mother, how you watched him
Oh! how earnestly you prayed
That.if possible, the summons
By the Father might be stayed.
Tears and sympathy give you,
Earnest prayers for your ascent
That unbroken be the circle,
In the world that has no end.
But the God who gave him to YOU
Kindly took him back again,
Ere his soul with sin was tainted,
Or was marked with earthly stain.
Weep for him, would not bid you
Check your tears; the Savior wept
where he stood with those fond sisters.
BY the grave where Lazarus slept.

Initiating the Davenport brothers


Young Brewer, of New Castle,
has a turn for legerdemain, and
the other night when he was down
at the club room with a party of
young fellows, the performances of
the Davenport Brothers were dis
cussed. Brewer offered to bet that
if any one in the crowd would tie
him upon chair he could unite
himself just like the Davenports.
Mr.. Eccles took the bet, and pro-
curing clothes line he put Brewer
in the President heavy arm chair
and tied him fast. Then Brewer
said he must be alone, and he told
the party to go down to the drug
! store and wait for him, as he would
be along in about five minutes.
They went and waited; they waited
for an hour and a half, and then, as
the great knot unraveller. did not
appear, they concluded to go mp
after him. As they assembled the
staircase they heard groans. A
little further up they heard Brewer
holding an animated conversation
with himself, during which he in
timated clearly that he would
regard it as a personal favor if
somebody would burn the Daven-
port Brothers at the stake Then
he groaned again. When the party
entered the room. they found that
the chair had fallen forward on top
of the rope annihilator, and, as he
was still tied fast, he was lying
with his face on the floor and his
back arched up SO that it lit closely
to the back of the chair, while his
nose was bleeding copiously.
When they lifted him up he had a
bump on his forehead as large as a
rambo apple, and a swelled nose.
When they asked him why he
hadn't united himself, he did not
answer; but as soon as they set
him free, he wiped his face with
his coat sleeve, and doubling up his
ensanguined fist, he shook it under
Mr.. Eccles' nose and exclaimed:
"You white ivered. mean spirited,
chuckle headed pirate! II 1 had
known yon were going to put that
half hitch around the chair leg I'd
We knocked the stuffin' out of you
in the first place" Then he went
home, and the club resumed its
deliberations.

the cause he supports that he is in the

cause we hope he is fairly and surely
planted in his seat.
