And I really am worth your soul p

she said.
The lamp-ighter had begun to travel
down the street with the magic wand
thswhich he seemed to invoke light.
The eas-jets flashed up one after other.
From the window at which they sat
they could see the long train of golden
stars which marked his pathway; and
now he stood before the window at
which these two sat, and lit q lamp
that sent its rays straight into the room,
and without removing his clasping arm ,
the man turned his head and looked
down upon the face on his shoulder.
The instant he did so he uttered cry.
1t was not the face of his beautiful
young vito, but that black and red vis-
age adorned with horns which tradition
bestows upon Satan.
What in the name of Heaven does
this mean p he cried.
The devil has many shapes" said
the creature, holding him close with its
great claws.
You remember you thought love
worth your soul. You have had love,
and now have you"
The lamplight glittered in the horri-
ble black eyes.
"Come, now" said tho night-watch-
man.
"Come, now, Mr.. Cardell. This
amt no time to be sitting out odoors
asleep. You've been to party, I reck-
on. Come, now, wake up, sir. At
your age the night air amt q good
thing. Wake up! Here's your hat"
MIR. Cardell walked up. He had
fallen asleep on his doorstep, and had
never been to the churchyard at all.
Indeed, there was no churchyard in
that neighborhood. And the old bach
elor had certainly had his share of
champagne and fine dream. But the
dream had moral to it, he said, when,
having. given quarter to the watch
man, he betook himself to rest.
If one values love beyond his soul,
he will be very likely to find himself in
the embrace of Satan.

THE EVENING MEETING.

Not more than 5000 people present at the
evening service Of the revival meetings tonight
This number, small compared with the immense
multitude that have heretofore crowded into this
stupendous structure, yet large one, considering
the supcratively disagreeable rainy weather.
Mr.. Moody said that he felt encouraged by such an
audience on such night "It shows that they are in
earnest" said he, in opening the service. While the
assembage entering and finding seats, the choir
OF 300 voices sung familiar hymns.
The keynote OF Mr. Moody's sermon was 'Work." II

and impassioned in his appeals to them Toward the
close the speaker himself seemed carried away by tho
excitement and from all over the house came hearty
cries of "Amen" in answer TO his appeals, His SER

these concluding words in voice that filled tho
farthest corner Of the hall, and visbly af-
fected many in the audience, 1T Is your
duty to do your work always, at all times, for
you know not when the Son OF Man will come. Oh,
how many there are in the church who hide their
talent They may be members Of churches for years.

He ikened this state Of affairs to children who never

CHICAGO, Aug. 2O.-The Times prints COM
prehensive report tomorrow Of the condition
Of the Spring wheat crop in the Northwest,
comprising the States Of Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, and the northern
miscellaneous crop reports from other
sections OF the country. In Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, and Nebraska nearly all the reports agree
that this will be year of plenty. Wheat has
mostly been cut and stocked. The quantity Is
far above the average, and the quality was never
excelled. There will be at least quarter more
wheat exported from these States than any
previous year. From Iowa reports are
not as encouraging. LII tic main the
yield is fully up to the average but some
sections have suffered from the ravages OF
grAsshoppers army worms, and chinch bugs
While the weather has figured conspcuously in
retarding the growth and development Of grain,
the State will average a. large crop as hereto
fore, some sourues falling below and
others exceeding the yield of former
year.. Kansas is happy, especially the
northern portion. The departure of
the grssshoppers has permitted nature to recon-
pehse in part last years losses. All reports
Agree that = more bountiful harvest has never
been gathered in that State. In Illinois but lit
tie Spring wheat is grown. Winter wheat and
corn are the staple products. AS far as reports
70, there is no reason for complaint. The CROP
will he fully up to tho average OF former years.
Taking all in all, the prospect is encouraging
Not only will there be wheat enough for home
demand, but the West can, without fail, supply
the European market The reports state thai
the yields generally are large and the quality

NO PEACH MEETING on sATURDAY-FURTHER PROS
PECTs OF THE CROP.
Correspondence the ConniHeiaL.
MlDDLErows, DEL, Aug. %.
The peach meeting, called for Saturday, to
take into consideration the shipping of only
prime fruit and for the purpose OF instructing
commission men ~ to what sized peaches should
be received by them, did not take place, and no
cause is assigned for the growers not being pres
Ont. Some of them stated that they had been
unable to attend OH account of necessary atten-
ton to shipping while others assigned no reason
whatever.
Their failure to hold a meeting shows that
the grower is not inclined to act Independently
of the commission men, and the latter are aware
OF 1t. To avoid fresh glut of peaches, it is no
cessary that shipments should decrease, and the
decrease could be no more proitaby made than
on inferior fruit, much OF which il being loaded
daily. This was the supposed object OF the
meeting.
Railroad officials have withdrawn their interest
because they know that to financially benefit
them the largest quantity Of ears should b.
shipped, no matter what price peaches are bring
ing in the different markets.
The portion Of the crop already shipped i
small, compared with what is stall on the trees
much Of which ia small in size. A gentleman
who owns extensive orchards near this town in
forms me that he has 1000 baskets of Earl
iorks 7" still unpicked, and that he would allo'
any one wanting some to help himself.
The unfAvorable weather, to-day, will @
course interfere with the shipments, and reduc
the quantity.
