The announcement made late yesterday after-
noon that Mr.. Rignold was too Ill to appear
threw the dramatic world Of this city into great
confusion, for nearly or quite every seat In the
theatre was filed. The management as soon a.
they learned the fact secured the services Of Mr..
Collier, and had posters printed and distributed
as coon as possible. One OF those marvellous
achievements OF memory we sometimes read OF
was the remarkable accomplishment OF MI. =.
X. Collier in rendering the part oil King hsniy
dred lines OF Shakspeare, and much Of It from
mere memory OF hearing Mr.. Rignold casually.
He was notified at p. m, and spoke fifteen nun
dred lines of the role without the aid Of prompter

There had been man in Philippl, O rough, old

There had been in the night great times, and
come down he found his prisoners gone, and was
about to kill himself with his sword, when one Of
them had cried out to him not to do himself any
harm, that his prisoners were all there. They
had not been the kind of folks TO break Jail and
run off at night; in fact, he couldn't get rid OF
them in the morning. He had fallen down, and

PULLED HIM THROUGH.

He said: "BelIeye in the Lord Jesus Christ and
thou shalt be saved" The jailer had not thought
when he put them In that their stripes needed
any washing, but when he had brought them out
he had changed his mind. They had spoken unto
him the word God and he had rejected. That was
an old-fashioned conversion. The jailer at night
had put the holy men in prison; at midnight he
had drawn HIS sword to kill himself, and before
morning he had rejoiced In the Lord. TAere
were some who said that they had tried to love
God, hut had not felt any difference. He had
not read in the Bib'e, He that feels different and
is baptized shall be saved"
Mr.. Hastings preached at length, using many
of his forcible illustrations, and in conclusion,
charged his hearers to give themselves to Christ,
bow their knees, and consecrate themselves TO
the Saviour. After the sermon the usual prayers
were offered for those who desired them.
