Rev. Henry varrey in Portland.

Last evening the English revivalist, Henry
Marley, made his first appearance in this city,
at the Chestnut street church. The house was
we'll filled, although not crowded. At few
moments later than half-past seven Mr.. Varley
appeared on the platform. He was unattended,
but was soon followed by Revs. Messrs Jones
and Hincks, who took seats on either side of
the chair occupied by Mr.. Valley. A large
number of clersymen were present.
The services were commenced by singing the
hymn, Crock of Ages Cleft for Me-" AT the
close of the singing of the hymn Rev. Mr..
HiDcks offered prayer.
Mr.. Varley announced that he would read
the 9Th chapter of Romans, and make few
remarks upon q few of the more important
passages. 1t would be impossible to give fair
report of his remarks without taking up
large amount of space The theme of his re-
marks was that all who are not Chrsts disci-
pies and do not follow his commands are sin
ners, and that there is no degree known to God,
for He has no superior or inferior sinners. If
Christ is not in you, you are not Christian.
At the close of the remarks the hymn Come
Holy Ghost, Our Hearts Inspire" was sung by
the audience
Mr.. Varley then arose and stated that his
text could be found in the Sd chapter of Philip
plans and the 18th verse, "But what things were
gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ"
He remarked that he wished to impress the
truth thai man is dead until he finds Christ.
He illustrated this trnth by the life and expert
ence of ST. Paul. A man to come to Christ
must be dead to the things of this world, but
alive to the interests of Christ. To illustrate
this fact of being dead the preacher knelt upon
the platform. When man is alive to Christ,
he is in close connection to him, in fact, re-
marked the preacher, it is ''Christ & CO.
The life which Christ has given to the chris
tan is thing of beauty and of life. A man
could as well afford to ignore the light of day
as the light of Christ. This new life should be
made manifest by all who possess it. You may
say that this new life is not suited to Portland,
if rot, Portland must be a strange place.
The preacher closed with an earnest appeal
for christians t } live near to the mark set them
by Christ
At the close he announced that he wished to
give the young people few words in regar l to
every day life, and those who wished to leave
could do so. 1t was then nalf-past nine O'Clock
and a large number left the church.
Rev. Mr.. Marley will give bible readings at
State street church this morning at 10a O'Clock,
and at Chestnut street church at q o'clock.

A writer in the Boston Globe, chat
ting of trip to town from suburban
place, gives the following glimpse into
the possibilitie of feminine emulation: (:
cone day on the trip up, when reading
a magazine, my attention was attracted
by the glitter of a gold bracelet, which,
look where I would, flashed before my
eyes, and further scrutiny revealed the
fact that the young lady who wore 1t
was particularly anxious that should
be attracted by it, and, to further her
design, began cutting the leaves of her
magazine with a silver fruit knife. For
the purpose of showing her that l was
not particularly dazzled, in fact that
there was another such in the world, l
took gold pencil from my pocket and
marked passage in my book. for my
bracelet was equal to hers. Observing
that fact she drew off her left glove and
carefully arranged her veil, that might
not fail to see the heavily chased ring
| which encircled her finger. Il could

and, quickly pulling off her other glove;

and a gigantic amethyst. l was slightly
nonplused, but, as she wore no earrings,

Three teams, in charge of four men,
