The Sort Of Revival that is Needed

tFf.e q. y
!, The revival We need Is not only Q
revival of sounder seriptural preaching,
hbut a revival of true Christian il:vtnS.
We have had quite asurfeit Of the reli-
gion which luxuriates, in the devout
fervors of the prayer meeting and the
camp ground. which sings sweet hymns
and applauds sweet sermons, and then
goes straight of to its money-grasping
and its pleasure-seeking, and its, pam
derings to self and sin. God forbid
that We speak lightly Of true spiritual
emotion But the Christianity which
Christ demands is something deeper
than song or sermon or 4 sacrament,
Il is the holy and the humble imita-
tion of Himself. The revival, then,
which we need is . revival Of the reli-
gion which keeps Gods commandments;
which tells the truth and sticks to- its
promises; which pays twenty'shillings
to the pound; which cares more for a
good character than fine coat; which
votes at the ballot-box in the same d.
rection that it prays; which denies M.
godly lusts. and which can be trusted
10 every stress of temptation. A revi-
val which will sweeten our homes and
chasten our press and purify our poli-
tics and cleanse our business and COM
merce from roguery and rottenness
would be boon from Heaven. A re-
vival which will bring not only Bible
knowledge but Bible conscience to all
is what the the land is dying for The
worlds sorest want to-day is more
Christian-like men, and women. The
preaching it needs is--more sernsons sn
shoes.

An Actors Trick.

Olive Logan tells, 10 the Balssasors

kinswoman, while spending few days
at her Long Branch cottage. II is !
stony of wicked and elaborate deceit.
Snakes were thick in the yard, and
Collier habitually went out 10 bis slip
pers. The repeated warning cry Of the
anxious lady was. "Jim look ont for
snakes! Adders! The grass is fsll Of
them since the rains. Better come on
the grass with those slippers on !"' He
basely repaid this solicitous attention,
according to Olive, in this way: -Pro-
curing one day at toy shop on Bread

which make one shudder to look at
them. he fastened It to his, trousers leg
by striugo whose action he could reg

Motherless.

Three little golden heads at an upper
window and long line Of carriages in
the street below. Nurse holds baby
up. who laughs and claps bis little
dimpled hands as his eye is caught by
the noddipg plumes on the hearse; and
presently the procession moves down
the street, and mother has gone away
forever. The men from the UNDER
takers remove the traces of the funeral !;
the parlors are in their wonted order.
except, perhaps, the curtains are not
looped as gracefully, the furniture is
not disposed as tastefully. and the little
ornaments and bTouterie are not in
their accustomed places. In mothers
room there's a chill and prim air
about everything. so different from it's
usual look of cosy comfort. A bright
June sunlight is cleaning through the
half.opened blinds. but it does not seem
to give. warmth or cheer. The toys are
brought out. but the children soon tire
of them. There's something gone
they scarcely realize what. By and BY
baby begins to fret. and nnrse gets
cross. Poor little darling! mammals

Say, didst thou not the sform forego
That I.might hear thee gaily sing?
Conidst thou have spied my lily cup,
Through the fast falling Of the snow,
And didst thou wish with me to sup,
Here where my lovely lilies grow?
Or ,didst thou see the sheaf SO tall, sr
That on the cleaners shoulder lay,
With her sweet smile upon the wall ,tol
Her robe of crimson bright and gay B.
Ah, thou hast come to cheer my heart.
AS the lily this wintry hour;
When from my eyes sleep doth depart,
From midnight cen till evening hour.
Thy little mission is not o'er, es;g-l.tk
For there are other hearts to cheer; /,
Nor in thy dartings upward soar,
But to the sick room come thou near.

a Clue to the Pembr Ike Murderer.

CONCORD, N. H., Oct. &.
The excitement over the Pembroke mur.
der case has been revived to-day. At an
early hour Josiah Carpenter, of Pttsfield,
went to Suncook and informed officer Hill
dreth of some facts which If true will have
an important bearing on the case He re-
ports that Miss Lake, who taught school
three years since at Pembroke, boarding at
Langmad's, and who has since correspond
ed with the deceased, arrived at her house
In Chichester the day following The muir
der, and when informed of it at once ex
claimed "Bill Drew did it," giving as a
reason that Jane Langmaid told her that
Drew had several times grossly nsult.d
her, and threatened If she told her father
to kill and cut her into inch pieces. OH
Ger Hildreth visited Miss Lake and she viii
testify before the coroner's inquest to-
morrow. Drew still protests his inno-
cence and does not exhibit the least anxi.
ETY. or nervousness at his position a pair
Of stockings were found to-day near the
scene of the murder, evidently worn aud
cast aside. 1t is thought they may add
something to the case. 1t is also sald
Drew had carried about his person sharp
dirk knife for years, and it is not TO be
found now. 1t is reported that strange
wild looking man was seen today prowl-
ing about the woods and search is being
l.
been so thoroughly aroused, and the deter
mination is universal to ferrt this horror
to the bottom.

Escane of a Mnrderess.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. Z.
Last night about midnight Nine. Fort
meyer, sentenced to ten years imprison-
ment, made her escape from prison IN JEFF
ferson City, by forcing her body through
over the trausom of her cell. There were
no gates or guards to impede her fight.
She has bold and desperate friends on the
outside. and there is little hope of recapiur-
ing her. Nine. Fortmcycr was convicted
at the April term of the ST. Louis criminal
court of the murder of q young girl named
Lena Miller and her infant child, by NAL.
practice. After her ares. search was
made of her house, and the charred bones
of two infants were found in stove in her
bedroom. She confessed to Detective
Meizger that one of the infants was that
of Lena Miller, which size had burned alive.
a plumber of horrible developments fol.
lowed slowing the accused to be perfect
monster. Il being an undoubted practice
OF hers TO burn every child delivered by
her, whether dead Or alive. There is good
reason to believe that she has murdered
and burned at least 80 infants during the
prosecution of her inhuman business in
this city for series of years. She had also
earned an Infamous character in New York
and Chicago before she came 10 st. Louis,
and her operations in the monstrous prac-
tice have probably been more extensive
than those of any other person in the
United States. After her arrest she boldly
threatened to expose a large number of re-
putable people in this city if they did not
extricate her from her difficulty, and there
were great efforts made by certain persons
in her behalf, who succeeded in obtaining
for her the light penalty of 10 years in the
penitentiary, instead of the galows.

NITRO GLYCERINE. EXPLOSION.


A sad result of the careless handling of
an old tin can which had contained nitro
gycerine occurred at Hydcville on Thurs
day afternoon, by which young lad lost
his life. Robert Magraw, boy some tif-
teen years of age, In the employ of the
Forest mining and slate company, who at
tended the derrick, having few moments
of leisure, took run down into an aband-
oned quarry situated short way distant,
and while there picked up an apparently
empty can which had contained nitro gly-
cerine, the contents having been used in
blasting the quarry when in operation. He
took the can to the place where he was at
work. He procured mallet and chisse,
and commenced to pound with these uten-
sils to get the can open. He had not
struck more than two blows when loud
report was heard, which resounded for a
long distance, and attracted so much
attention us to cause people to
come to the quarry to learn the
cause of the explosion. The work
men at the quarry Immediately rushed to
the spot where the boy lay. They found
him alive but his face was literally torn in
pieces, his right hand blown off above the
wrist, both legs and his left arm broken
He breathed for some ten minutes after the
explosion. His mutilated body is said TO
have been painful and horrible sight 10
behold.
There could have been but a small guam
tity of the explosive material in the can,
which had lain exposed to the weather for
nearly two years and half. The glyceiine
had been used at the quarry only once as
an experiment in blasting
This sad accident s. ould prove IL warn.
ing to both boys and men to avoid nitro gly-
cerinc in all its forms. There should also
be legal restrictions in reference to its use
and a provision for the certain and effect
ual disposition Of all cans or other vessel
that has contained the deadly article. 1t
is questioned whether its use should not be
prohibited only under certain crcumstan-
ces, and then under the most rigid restric-
tions.
