She was one of those inquisitive old
women who would seem always to have
an interrogation point concealed about
them. And as is generally the case
with a person who is hard of hearing,
her voice was painfully audible with
in the range Of sixteenth of mile.
"Anybody sick at your house" she
inquired of Mr.. Sampson, the young
dry-goods man, who has been married
year, as he measured off three yards
of cheap calico and asked her, with a
subdued smile, els that all ?"
"A-that is-my wife isn't very
we'll" said Sampson, growing red clear
to the back of his ears as he noticed
four ladies in different parts of the
store exchanging significant glances.
"Hey?" remarked the good lady,
with her hand at her ear, in voice
which started horse that was hitch
ed across the street.

fused with lively purple, and the
veins at the top of his head distended !;
and as Mrs. Sheppard, who was buy
ing flannel at the other end Of the
store, said something in low tone to
Mary Carter, who responded "Tehe,"
Mr.. Sampson wished we was bal
loon.
"Oh-h!" answered the old lady in a
tone. of high-keyed indifference.
"What's the matter with Lily now,
cholry morbus?"
"She amt very well" said Sampson !;
"shan't l show you anything more?"
"Hope Lily amt going to be sick, y
continued Mrs. Hooper. 81 see you

Mrs. Hooper's voice penetrated to
the precincts of the apothecary shop
opposite, and Chandler, the clerk, took
his place in the store door, and listen

thermometer wasn't up to 12O degrees
in the shade.
"She amt got the neuralgy, hez
she:" said Mrs. Hooper, untying the
corner of her pocket handkerchief,
whence she extracted the price of the
calico.
Harker's boy, who is fourteen years
old; and lives opposite to Sampson,
snickered so long and so loud as he
heard this question from his post Of
observation in the store door, that he
grew hysterical, and was led forth by
the tip of his ear into the street by
SIMPSONS clerk, amid the derisive
shouts of the other boys.
''Guess I'll run in on my way home,"
said the unconscious Mrs. Hooper.
"What did | understand you to say

over the counter with her left ear can

Fortunately Simpsons hired girl
came breathlessly into the store and
told him he was wanted at the house

Details which reach Us by the London
papers of the closing meetings of Messrs.
Moody and Sankey show that they were
extraordinary occasions, For some days
before the last service, says the English
Hadependent, 'fthe anxiety of the people
to obtain admission to Camberwell Hall
amounted almost to a frenzy, and not
altogether a harmless one. Arriving
long before the doors were thrown open,
dense masses of men, women, and chill
dren worked themselves up to the high
est pinnacle Of excitement, which the
nature of the service was not calculated
to calm down. A positive panic occurred
on one occasion, and threatened to be-
come seriOus.n
At one of these last meetings the
Queen of the Netherlands and the Dueh-
ess of Sutherland were both present. On
the last Sunday numbers were said to be
waiting for admission to the hall as early
as three o. clock in the morning; by seven
O'Clock it was filled. All the approaches
to 1t were crowded with people, some of
whom had come from the opposite ends
of London. Mr.. Moody found entrance
through q private house adjoining, and
with the help of a ladder. Meetings
were held outside, but nothing less than
seeing and hearing Mr.. Moody would
satisfy the densely packed multitude.
The last words aof the evangelist were
veryimpressive. "The time has come, |"
he said, ito close our two years and
three weeks in this country. 1t lis the
last time shall have the unspeakable
privilege of preaching the gospel in
England. l have never enjoyed preach-
ing so much as have in this country"
tHave another week, - shouted asman.
81 want to have you all saved tonight"
said Mr.. Moody, looking toward the
speaker. "If / was to stay another week
could tell you no more. have not told
you hundredth part of the story, but
have done the best / can do with this
stammering tongue. / don't want to
close this meeting until I see you safe
