A Singular Sermon.

Four gentlemen and an old minister
were assailed on the highway by three
robbers who demanded and took pos.
session of their funds. The old minis
ter pleaded very hard to be allowed a
little money as he was on his way to
pay bill in London. The highway
men being generous fellows gave him
all his money back again on condition
Of his preaching them sermon. Ac.
cordingly they retired little distance
from the highway, and the minister
addressed them as follows:
Gentlemen, you are the most like
the old apostles of any men in the
world, for they were wanderers upon
the earth, and so are you; they had
neither lands nor tenements that they
could call their own, neither presume,
have you; they were despised of all
but those Of their own profession, and
50, I believe, are you; they were unal-
terably fixed in the principles they
professed, and dare swear so are you;
they were often hurried into jails and
prisons, all of which suffering, I pre-.
sumo have been undergone by you /;
their profession brought them all to
uptimely deaths, and if you continue
in your course, such will be your end,
But in this point you differ nightly {;
for the apostles assembled from q tree
into heaven, where, I am afraid, you
will never come but as their deaths
were compensated with eternal glory {;
yours will be rewarded with eternal
shame and misery unless you mend
your manners. 49ss,.l=sa .1*

How Merit Was Rewarded.

Kassim Pasha, when Minister of W ar
for Egypt, was very particular as to
the personal appearance of his officers,
and issued stringent orders that they
should never appear unshaved in pub.
lie. One day he met in the street q
lieutenant who had '.bearded" the
Pasha and disregarded his order.
''To what regiment do you belong -
demanded the indignant minister.
"To the - Regiment at Abasseuh, -
replied the frightened lieutenant.
''Get into my carriage at once, so
that may carry you to the encamp-
ment and have you publicly punished, .
e The young man obeyed, and the
twain rode along gloomily enough for
some time, when the Pasha stopped his
carriage and entered a shop for a few
moments to make some trifing pur.
chase. Selling the opportunity, the
culprit sprang from the vehicle, dart.
ed into a BARRIERS stall, and, minus his
beard, regained his post before the re.
turn Of his jailer. For the remainder

THE FIRESIDE.
AFTER POE's BELLS.

Edward g. Gould in Appleton's journal.
Hear the holy Sabbath Bells
Christian Bells!
Whata world Of consolation in their utter
ances dwell!
They commemorate the day
When ''the stone was rolled away
The Lord Of Glory-slain Tor sin not His own !!
There He burstthe bonds Of Death
With Completeness breath, =
And majestically rose,
Triumpantly DER His foes,
To the right hand OF God. Three in one
Where he maketh intercessiOn
For our manifold ansgression
EvermoreY
Now the bells are loudly calling, bidding ev-
eryOne repair
To the sanctuary, where
We may offer praise and prayer;
Their reverberetng echoes, through the cir
cumambient air,
Are rolling, rolling, rolling,
They are calling, calling, calling,
In tones that are consoling,
And in tones that are appalling
To believers, consolation;
To the scOrners, condemnation,
Evermore!
Still the bells are tolling, tolling,
And their echoing notes are rolling
Over vale and plain and mountain
Calling all men to the Fountain
Whence life and joy and peace are flowing
evermore,
Evermore!
Now their tones grow louder, deeper
They might wake the dullest sleeper
On this peaceful Sabbath morning
With their word Of solemn warning
''TiMe time time!
Time! time! time!''
Their ponderous tongues reiterate, monoton-
ously,
''Time!
''Time time! time!
Time time tinae!''
TIL the ending Of the hour ends the chime.
Thus each swinging Titan knells,
AS his music peals aud swells
From the tower wherein he dwells,
His final moncsyllable Of "Tiule."
Whose cadences iantistically rhyme
To the rolling and the tolling OF the bells

ner too horrible to be fully imagined
even. The news of the strange occur.
renee spread around the neighborhood
rapidly, and a crowd gathered around
the fatal spot. An old negro woman,
who lived in the vicinity during the
war, was present, and said that during
the siege of the city the man who
lived on the lot had built a bomb
proof retreat for himself and wife, in
which they always passed the night to
escape death by flying shells which
Sherman threw into the city in such
numbers every night. She remem.
bered them well, but could not tell
their names. She only recollected
that he was foreigner, and kept
confectionery stand about the city in
those days. No one else who was
present, or whom we have seen, can
remember anything of the parties.
The explanation of the affair seems
to be, from all the circumstances, that
these unfortunate persons met their
fate while asleep in this supposed
abode of safety either by the caving in
of the front portion of their room, by
which they were smothered to death,
or that a shell penetrated the place
and caused their unexpected demise.
The last hypothesis is improbable,
however, is no evidences were appa-
rent last night that such a thing had
happened.
The whole neighborhood was thrown
into commotion by this discovery. and
hundreds were present to a late hour
looking at the place and the remains.
1t is 4 scene which recalls wildly the
days of "bomb.proofs'' and death
dealing shell and shot, and which will
be looked upon with melancholy inter.
est and curiosity this morning by hun
dreds upon hundreds Of our people.
The case was reported by the police
to the proper authorities, and steps
will be taken this morning to give dc.
cent disposal to the remains of the
poor people who persisted in that
strange tomb. Mr.. Hokes has charge
of them for the present.

Trces-How to Grow Them.

Cottonwoods generally grow well
from cuttings, providing the cuttings
are in good condition when planted.
The more vigorous the shoot from
which they are cut the better. Cut
them 8 to 10 inches long, just as the
sap is swelling the buds, put them
speedily into the ground, and they will
seldom fail to grow.
They may be planted by person
striking a spade down the length of its
blade, showing the handle forward, so
as to leave space behind it, and then
shove the cutting down into this space,
withdraw the spade and step imme-
diately in front Of the cutting, so as to
press the ground closely around it.
They may also be dropped into a shall.
low furrow and covered with a plow.
In this case the ground should after.
ward be rolled, so as to press the
ground close around them. It is not
certain but this is the better way.
But cottonwoods seed themselves
readily on the sandbars along all the
rivers and streams in these parts.
They can, when one and two years old,
be easily pulled up with the hand-a
thousand an hour-costing nothing but
the pulling up and conveying to the
point desired. They can be planted in
a manner similar to the cuttings. II
one does not live near one of these
streams, he can get seeding from some
one who does, without the interven
ton of any nurseryman.
Box elder and ash are best propa
gated from the seed, which ripcns in
the fall, but does not generally drop t.
the ground until spring. It may be
gathered any time before it falls anC
planted in nursery rows in the spring
to be set out where they are to grow
the next spring.
Walnut and butternut are best plant.
ed where they are to grow Immediately
after the falling of the nuts and with
out ''shucking" them. Drop them il
burrows, as the land is plowed, four tt
six feet each way, covering with the
plow. Sometimes they will not come
up until year from the following
spring. They do not transplant we'll
Acorns may be planted in the same way
AS indeed may also ash and box elder
All these young trees need cultivat
ing for the first two or three years. A
good plan is to plant corn with them
especially the first year. The shade OF
the corn is a help to the trees and thu
trees do not injure the corn. and the
crop amply pays for the first plowine
and the after cultivation.

CHRONIC DISEASES CuRED.-In communities
remote from larger townsthere seems to be but
two alternatives for the sick eitht r to employ
the familyphysician or to patronize the patent
medicine vendors. Those who are driven to
this extremity, if suffering with chronic di-
sease, we would advise to write to DR.. E. B
Foote, of 100 Lexington avenue. N. Y. DR..
F. is the noted author Of tPlain Home Talk, {"
"Medical Common Sense" ''Science in
Story" and other popular medical works
which have had wide circulation all over
the globe. In DR.. F. we have a physician
who has had extensive experience in treating
the sick at distance from his Office, andS
moreover, his consultations are free. ANY
one Of our readers is at liberty to consult him
with the mere outlay of postage stamp. He
is said to have patients at this moment in
Germany, Great Britain, Liberia, Chinese En-.
pire, and the West Indies If patent medi-
cines can now and then hit successfully when
adopted by people who have little knowledge
of their own organizations or of their diseases,
how much more successfully cana physician,
after instituting all necessary inquiries, pre-
pare remedies precisely suited to the organi-
zation and diseases of the invalid; just as a
tailor cuts and fits coat to the back. In this
more important matter relating to the health
and lite Of people, there is all the difference
which exists between Chatham street cloth

taking the most minute measurements. Dr..
Foote is recognized success in his specially.
