SOCIAL TEA GATHERING At BETHANY
CHAPEL.
Bread and Beef at a Discount and Tea
and Coffee Above Par.

Bread and Beef at a Discount and Tea
and Coffee Above Par.
A social tea gathering was held at Bethany
chapel, corner Thirtysixth street and Ninth ave-
nue., last evening. Before the temperance crusade
was inaugurated IL was popular idea that there
could be no social enjoyment without the stimulat-
ing influence OF wine; but this must surely be
mistake. Church societies have various methods
of promoting social intercourse, and The proof
that their gatherings are enjoy able is found in the
fact that, as general thing, they are well
attended The Bethany Mission, which Is
carried on under the auspices OF the
Broadway Tabernacle church, has been es-
tablished about four years. and during
tnat time has been productive Of an immense
amount OF good. They have 1ourshing Sabbath
school, which averages in attendance over 500
members There Is also free reading room,
which is open every evening, and on saturday az
ternoons the girls OF the school are instructed in
sewing The object OF the entertainment OF last
evening was to bring out the parents OF the chill
dren, so that none under eighteen years OF age
were admitted The programme consisted or APP
propriate addresses Oy Rev. DR.. William NJ Taylor,
pastor OF the Broadway Tabernacle; Rev. RUFUS 5.
underwood, Rev. DR.. Hastings, and Rev. Or. Rob
inson, OF the Memorial Presbyterian church, inter-
spersed with vocal and Instrumental music. The
climax Of enjoyment was reached, however, when,
the refreshments were handed around. They con-

the matter OF tea drinking last evening there was
nothing that could have raised the ire Of the elder

It Came by Telegraph.

\ rural chap from Il neighboring
township came to town a couple OF
weeks ago, bringing with him an UNI
brella, in case of rain. While diSposing
of his butter, eggs, etc, Il friend, who
was to ride home with him, secretly
placed the umbrella in the wagon and
covered it up with straw. shortly AT
ter, their business having been transact
ed, tile twain started for home. On ar
irving at station a few miles up the
railroad it commenced TO rain, and our
friend bethought himself of his UNI
brella. Not seeing il in the wagon he
supposed, of course, that il had been
left behind, and announced his inten-
tion of going back after IL. His com
paniou said there was no need of that; ;
if il was his he would telegraph for it.
This was new idea to said rural, aud
he readily acqu,esced. The wag then
told his companion to go into the wait
ing room of the station and he would
do the te!egraphing. As soon as the
owner was out OF sight the joker took
the umbrella and hung it on the tele-
graph wire, and then waiting 4 moment
he catered the station aud told his
friend that the umbrella had arrived,
aud that the fee was - cts. The de-
lighted man rushed ont, and there sure
enough, was the umbrella suspended
from the wire. He willingly handed
over the p cents, which the wag quiet
ly slipped into his pocket aud the two
started on, it being hard to tell which
was the most pleased, the owner with
recovery of his umbrelly, or the was
with the success oi his ioSe.-Er.

Still, as on Cana's marriage Ieast, the best wine

From city, hamlet. farmhouse. Old. the we'd

Older and slower, yet the same, fiies in the
And hearts are light and eyes are glad, though
heads are badger gray.
The fire tried men of Thirty eight who saw
with me the fall,
Midst roaring flames and shouting mob of
Pennsyly ania Hall;
And they of Lancaster who turned the cheeks
oil tyrants pale.
Singing of freedom through the CRATES of

And, happily, with them, all unseen, old COM

Pass. silently as shadows pass. within your

The Christian grace OF Pennock, the steadGast

How gladly would | tread again the old-re-

Sit down beside your hearth once more and
look in the dear old faces
Aud thank you for the lessons your fifty years
are teaching
For honest lives that louder speak than half

For your steaiy faith and courage in that dark

LAST HEART-BEATS.

To tell me what your lips have left unspoken.
That you are sorry that my heart Is broken.
Before die.
For soon your silence will no more perpIeN me
And soon your coltlnes> will have ceased to yeN
me,
Although cling unto the ro that wrecks me.
Until die.
And presently my hand will cease its grasping,
And presently my breath shall cease its gasp

And shall sink hevond your tarly clasping,
For shall die.
All! you have left me. who would never leave

And you have slain me- who did never grieye
you,
But l! It least. at least can forgive you.

Birds Let Of from a Balloon.

One who bad large experience in
travelling through the air thus describes
the actions of birds let off from L bal
loon:
At an altitude of eleven thousand feet
we liberated green liunet. which flew
away. directly; but soon feeling itself
abandoned in the midst OF an unknown
ocean, it returned and settled ON the
stsys OF the balloon. Then mastering
fresh courage, it took second light
aud dashed downward to the earth, de-
Scriblng tortuOus yet almost perpen-
dicular track.
\ pigeon, which WAS let loose under
similar circumstances, afforded a more
curious spectacle Placed on the edge
of a ear, it rested awhile, measuring,
as it were, the breath of the uneNplor-
ed sea which it designed TO traverse.
Now launching into the abyss, i; Hut
tered irregularly, aud seemed at irst 10
try its wings in the thin element, till
after few strokes il gained more con-
tidence. and whirling in large circles
or spirals. like the birds of prey. it pre-
cipitated itself toward the mass OF eN-
tended clouds, where it was lost to sight
