The Religious Fuscd In Cam
uh.s

MONTREAL, Oct. LA special dis
patch to the Witiess from Toronto
says: 1.-THE city is In perfect fever
Of excitement, and should the jubi-
lee procession attepmpt to form next
Sunday Il bloody encounter cannot
help but ensue.
The Orsmgemeii, ut Il meeting last
night, appointed a deputation To
wait upon the Mayor and request
him not to allow tho procession on
Sunday. Thisis looked upon as very
significant. Many rumors are flying
about in regards to the Young Brit
ons coming in from ajoining towns
to help their friends. 1t is hoped
Archbishop Lynch will prohibit the
pilgrimage, and thus prohibit an en-
counter. Should he not do SO,
he and his people should be protect
ed in their rights to the utmost ex--
tent.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM DEATH

HoNuERFIL ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
BELAIR, Md, Sept. 30. About
O'Clock this morning, a young man
named John Brown, a mechanic Of
this town, in attempting to 90 down
we'll moved some Of the stones with
his feet and the entire wall cayed In
upon him. With great presence Of
mind he seized the pump stock, and
this broke the fall Of the stones and
in manner prctected him from
their blows. The falling wall formed
an arch over his head and saved his
life. The citizens rapidly assembled
and for three hours worked lard in
removing the stone. During the time
young Browns voice could he heard
at the bottom of the well begging
them to work on. At the end of this
time the man was rescued alive, hut
very much exhausted and considera-
bly, bruised. DIR. T.. Hall Richardson
was on the ground and applied the
usual restoratives and the victim il

RAISING KING PHILIPS SPIRITS
AND RAISING CAIN.

NEW York, Oct, "A large
crowd assembled last evening at
Tammany Hall to witness what was
advertised to be a spiritualistic
seance, but which proved to be Il
swindle gotten. up by confidence
operators, who decamped with the
proceeds. After going through the
farce of raising King Philips spirits
the meeting broke up in confusion,
the rougher portion OF the audience
having, before leaving, broken up the
cabinet which held the supposed
museum, together with other stage
furniture.

Jack Green was as conceited
specimen Of humanity as could be
found in a long search.
He was two and twenty when
he made up his mind that he was
at the age for 10 marry. He was
chockfull of conceit, aud believed
he could get any girl for the ask
ing.
He imagined all the ladies,
young and old, were wonderful
fond of him and he vas bothered
in mis- mind which TO chose.
Its COMPOUNDED bother this
marrying and I'd let my mother
arrange 1t for me but expect that
would not do, and | must do some
counting myself, he soliloquized.
THERE'S lots of the creatures coax
ing around and looking sweet at
me, and it's really puzzling which
to marry. One thing / do know,
and that is If the one / make Mrs
Green doesn't suit Inc Pll get di-
vorce.
That first step was taken when
Jack escorted pretty Rose Ire
maine to picnic. Before two
hours passed by he saw she was
equally gracious to his comrades.
He didn't like it a bit, but what
could he do. He concluded to let
her severely alone.
Lettie Lee the next favored
one, snubbed him outright. She
left him tete-d-tete with her moth
err, while she slipped off to play
croquet with a neighbor. He bow
ed himself out, and went off in a
huff, and for two whole weeks
never went near the creatures, as
he termed the young ladies'; then
he thought them sufficiently pun
ished and he guessed they'd use
him b(ter in the future.
He went the rounds of all his
lady acquaintance, and strange to
say, they all were blind TO his per-
fections and their own interests,
and appeared to be unwilling to
become Mrs. G.
He unbossomed his woes to
friend, who was q bit of IA wag,
and was told to persevere.
'They are dying to get you, and
you must come out point blank
and pop the question. Let them
know you are in earnest, and you
will be married before you know
it,"
Gladly he followed his freind's
advice, and offered his heart, hand
and fortune to at least dozen
but strange to tell, they declined
the honor. He was informed by
one that she was too young, and
would not marry for dozen Of
years. Another thought herself
to old for him, which was very
strange he thought, while one
pert Miss said "he wasn't well fur
nished in the upper story" Jack
tried to convince her of her mis-
take-said '.their house was fur
nished from top to BOTTOM" but
she laughed in his face.
He now began to get glimmer
of the truth, and was dOumbfound-
ed thereat. How any young lady |
of sence was so unwise as TO refuse |
him, the only son and heir of the
rich Squire Green, who lived in
the big house on the hill, and had
a cupola on it,(the house not the
hill, was mystery to him.
Jack now is puzzled to know |
who will chose him. He is no
more troubled with the previous
question.
IF any young and fascinating lady |
has been left out in the cold
in the matrimonial market, let her |
take heart of grace, and pay Mer-
rivale a visit, where she will be |
quite sure of an opportunity to
leave the state ofsingle blessedness |
and shine In the matrimonial
ranks as the daughter-iu-law Of
Squire Green, whose house has a
cupola on it, and which, like his

Moody and Sankey.

So many contradictory reports
have been put In circulation as to
the proposed appearance in this
city OF Messrs. Moody and Sankey
to lead a great revival of religion
that a reporter of the Herald was
yesterday dispatched to ascertain
from Mr.. William r. Dodge, Jr.,
President of the Young Mems
Christian Association, any facts on
the subject he might have to give.
Mr.. Dodge represents that the only
groundwork for the publications
recently made is that in June last
a meeting composed of number
of leading clergymen and laymen
was held, and a committee, OF
which Rev. DIR. John Hall is chair
man, was appointed to invite the
great revivalists on their return
from England to iDaugurate a re-
vival here such as they conducted
on the other side of the Atlantic.
They extended the invitatin, and
calls were made from other
cities but as yet Messrs. Moody
and Sankey have not given the
slightest intimatiOn of their inten-
ton to accept the invitation of the
New York committee or those of
any other city.--Netc York Herald.

A young gentleman who attends the
Austin public school had been told that
sndden shock or fright would cure the
lhiccough, and the other evening, while he
was studying his lesson for the morrow
by drawing picture Of the schoolma' am
on his slate, his respected progenitor was
seized with a fie Of hiccoughs- The old
gentleman was tilted back in his chair,
with his feet resting on the top Of the
stove, and the young ho- eful concluded
to try the cure on him. just as the old
man was ''rastling' with heart break
ing hick the boy jrmped and yelled
"Fire'' The old MAJ was just getting
one cub cub, but he never got It out.
He gave jump which tilted over the
chair, and in endeavoring to regain his
lost equilibrium his feet flew up against
the table, upsettiDg it and student lamp
which stood upon it, and his head landed
in the ashes on the stove.hcarth. The
old lady, hearing the racket, came rum
ming in from the kitchen and tripped over
the old man $ PROSTATE form. knocking
down whatnot with q lot Of glass and
china ornaments. When the boys father
arose from the wreck and shook the
ashes and splintcrs Of glass out Of his
hair and clothes he was cured Of the hic-
cough, bnt there was look Of stcrnncss
in bis eye. He can't play tag now, and
the boy sits on the edge of the seat It

and silently murmurs that he old man

fore he will ever try to cure him.

The full, completed beauty
With which God gilds dull duty
For hearts that burn toward heaven from the

From that conflict ce asing never,

From the hard and bitter battle with the cold

Will the sky grow never clearer?
Will the hills draw never nearer
Where the golden city glitters in its rainbow
All! me, that golden city!
Can God then have no pity?

Fade ever with the evening and the distance
