LENT-To-day, Ash Wednesday, was the
beginning OF Lent. which is observed 10 re.
membrauce of the forty days fast of the Saw
iour, and of his subsequent sacrifice upon the
Cross Counting from to-day, to and including
Easter Eve, there are just forty-six days, but
as all Sundays in the year are counted as tcsil
val days, the Sundays occurring 10 Lent are
not regarded as pars of that selSon, although
the services ofthosc days partake OF the solemn
ties of the Lentcn humiliation.
The Church OF England, and the Episcopal
Church in this country, uake great note OF
Lent but they do not impose any specific rule
10 regard to the character or measure Of the
abstinence to be observed Members of the
church are simply reminded OF thc great example
Of Christ, and His apostles and are enjolued 10
practice at this season with more than usual
strictuess the duty Of rigid differentiation,
and to seek, by meditation and prayer, and acts
of self denial, to cultivate the grace of true re-
peurance The Lessons, Collects EpiStles and
gospels, and the special prayers appointed for
thi, seasoo, all have special reference TO such
piuus duties and exercises as are best calculat-
ed to promote strictuess of life and the gaining
OF the mastery over evil temper and sinful
habits
The season is one of strict abstinence in the
Roman Catholic Church, the regulations for
the observance OF which are published in to-
day S Glzette.

A better story than the many told
of West Springfeld's eccentric par
son, the Rev. DR.. Lothrop, at the
centennial gathering, last week.
is told by the Rev. Mr.. Nightingale,
Of Gorton, Mass. If it is not true
it is good enough to be, not only in
itself but in the telling: A young
lady who was = member Of Dr..
Lothrop's Church went on q visit
to a neighboring town, and while
there attended q party and danced.
Tidings Of her sin reached home
before her. On her return she was
visited and called to most severe
account for the disgrace she had
thus brought upon herself aud upon
the church, and which had been
found out, Notwithstanding it had
been done among strangers. Ons
staid maiden was specially earnest
in her rebukes, and made the poor
girl feel very bad. What shall
| do ?" she asked. "You had bet
ter 20 and see DR.. Lothrop." She
did 60, and told him all about IT.
"And so, my dear, you went to the
party and danced, did you :" said
he. eyes, sir" "And did you
have a good time p Yes, SIR
Well, / am glad of it, and hope
you will go again and enjoy your
self. And now I want you to tell me
the name of the woman who has
been making you all this trouble.
She told. "Go to that woman and
tell her from me, that if she wants
to get to heaven she had better
mako more use of her feet and lesi
of her tongue"

his voice was faint and suggestive
of fearful joy) " to join de mcrnin'

Oh, yes oh, yes! Heavens God

an hung it up on de high hooks Of
heaven. Dar want no nails dere !;
no hammer dar +; no nothfn' but the
world Of God" In limiting at the
terrors of death to the unconverted,
he sang wild word pictures which
had certain rude force even for
us, and then shrieked out these
words "Ef de brudders don't
want to die in de dark, dey must git
Christ to hold de candle. Gods
grace shall be de candle in de good
brudder's heart. Devils may howl,
lions may roar, but nothing shall
daunt dat brudder's heart. Angels
shall come down with lighted can
dies in deir hands to congratulate
de brudder." Then once more
screaming, and dancing, and weep
ing, he uttered these words: "Die

in de night yo' shall die in eternal

enuf, den God will come with His
candle j; an eff dat amt enuf, den
de Holy Ghost'll come wild His can
die, too, an dere can't be no more
night wild dat brudder's soul"
At another period in the sermon
he said "Ef we can't preach God,
we can exhort him; eff we can't ex-
hort him, we can live him ef we
can't live him, we can die him. I've
served under him forty-two long
year-longer dan Moses led Israel

the galleons, but not having the cap
ital to raise them, abandoned the
undertaking. Ten years later, Col.
Gowen, an American, who had dis
tinguished himself by raising the
Russian fleet of seventy vessels,
with all their armament and outfit,
which had been sunk in the harbor
Of Sebastopol during the Crimean
war, was applied to by the Spanish
Conccssionairc, and he having sat
isfied himself of the feasibility OF
the project, formed q company in
England to carry it out. The Span.
ish authorities took advantage OF
some technicality to transfer the con-
cession to French company, which,
however, was prevented from pur.
suing the project very far by the
breaking out of the Franco.P Prussian
war. It succeeded, however, in re.
covering several bars Of gold and
silver, which on being testedi fully
sustain the estimate made OF the
value Of the entire treasure, and Col.
Gowcn succeeded in purchasing the
goodwill of the French company,
which he has transferred to an
American association, which in.
tends Immediately to enter upon the
finding of the long-lost treasure.

A man in Greenfield, whom we
will call William, got up the other
morning, and proceeded to put on a
shirt which his wife had just made
for him after new pattern. AS
she stood At the mirror, curling her
hair she heard suppressed sound,
between a groan and an oath, and
turning around said laughingly,
"Why, my dear - "Shut up" he
calculated, "you are born fool.
Never let woman attempt to fit
shirt; she can't do it; it is one Of
the impossibllities." "But, Will
liam," deprecatingly. "Don't you
talk-let me talk. Do you think
I'm going down in this rig? A
pretty disposition you've got; just
because 1 happened to find little
fault last week, with your ironing,
you must go and make me a shirt
without bosom Such malicious
conduct, madame, is unpardonable.
Shut up, l say; wont hear word;
when a starched shirt front is the
only finery that man INDUCES in,
is he not excusable for being par
ticular in regard to that, I should
like to know ? And this thing sets
like the devil. Look how baggy it
is here in front, and it feels behind
as if there was a board bound
across me;'' walking up and look
ing in the glass, hitching up first
one sholdcr and then the other, af-
ter the indescribable manner of men
trying a new garment. His wife
dared not speak, but, bringing a
good sized mirror from the next
room, she held it up behind for
moment and perceiving by his
chop-fallen expression that he saw
the point, and the front, she ran
down stairs to settle the coffee, and
see if Bridget had set the table
geometrically. As William walked
down to his Office that morning he
said to the first friend that he met,
81 tell you, Tom, that little wife Of
mine is a born genius. Look at
this shirt now: She cut and made
it all herself. Do you see it's open
behind no confounded buttonholes
to bother a fellow. Just send your
wife up for the pattern" And it
was by the way Of Toms wife that
Lizzie first knew that William was
please with his shirts.

A Solitary Twin.

The "Fat Contributor" furnishes
the Utica Observer the following
strange story Of IA twin"
"There was woman out west
who gave birth to one twin, ust
one, that's all there was OF him.
She never had another solitary twin
so long as she lived. He was a
melancholy child from the first, and
wore such a lonesome look. He
always seemed to be watching and
listening for somebody whos never
came. He appeared to realize that
he wasn't all together-that he was
a sort OF human parenthesis with
one bracket gone-animated dumb
bells and one dumb bell missing
a pair that couldn't beat duces and
hardly worth drawing to. He used
to moan in his sleep and paw
around on his pillow for the missing
brother. When that boy grew up
he was different from any boy l ev-
er knew-that is to say, any one
boy. He seemed more like two
boys-at least, he. was altogether
two.boys-terous for one. If he had
a fight it was with boy twice as
big as he was, for he seemed to
feel, somehow, as though there
were two OF him, or ought to be.
He always managed to get two
pieces cf pie at the table, just as
| if one was for the other of him who
| wasn't there, and there was a thin
| pretense of taking care of it fol
him, but he always took care to eal
| it, / noticed. He only half learned
his lessons, and double entry book
| keeping nigh about set him crazy
because as told you, there wasn'
but .alf of him there, and hs
couldn't double entry. He would
mt sleep with any other boy be
cause, he said, it crowded 'em. III
grew up but he never got marled
Once or twice he attempted to cour
a girl, but left her when it was hal
done, as though that other twin o
his would be along and court tn
other half. I don't know what be
come of him. Iheard that he die'
from sheer loneliness, but onl,,
believe half hear about that boy
anyhow. If he be dead you ca
bet lie is only half dead"
