How MOODY AND SANKEY SUBsIsT.-To

say the evangelists are cared for bv the
people among whom they labor. Mr..
Moody we know does not like to labor for
fixed salary, and sometimes refuses lib

it, but he believes that the laborer is wor.

people among whom he works enough to
support him and his family in comfort.

Earning q Name.

Between two hills, one wooded and
desolate, the other bare and inhabited,
Just above Washington heights, on
Manhattan island, fowsa narrow stream.
1t is Spuyt den Duyvel creek. which,
with the Harlem river, separates Man.
haitian island from the mainland. Its
queer name often puzzles the curious,
who inquire for its origin. Diedrich
Knickerbocker solves the problem. He
tells us that when Anthony Van Oorlear,
Governor Stuyvesant's great trumpeter,
was on mission to stir up the country
to war beyond the Harlem river, he
came to this stream. There was no
ferryboat there. The wind was high
and the waters were turbulent. Feel
ing the urgency of his errand, Anthony
swore he would cross the creek en- spuyt
den d,syvel Tin spite OF the devir, and
taking hearty embrace of his stone
bottle, he plunged into the stream.
When halfway over, he was seen to
struggle violently, and giving a vehe-
ment blast Of his trumpet, sunk forever
to the bottom. The clangor Of the
trumpet aroused the people far and
near, who hurried to the spot in amaze
ment. "Here an old Dutch burgher,"
says the chronicler, "famed for his
veracity. and who had been witness of
the fact, related to them the melan-
choly affair, with the fearful addition
that he saw the devil, in the shape of
huge. moss-bunker, seize the sturdy
Anthony by the leg and drag him be-
meath the waves" The stream and the
wooded point have been called Spuyt
den Duyvel ever since.

A Terrible Death.

The Bardstown (Ky.) Record says
Never has it been our lot to chronicle 9
more horrible and melancholy death
than that Of Mr.. W. b. Bemiss, an old
and respected Citizen of Vaudeville,
Anderson county.
Mrs. Bemiss and her children were
absent on visit. No one was at home
but Mr.. Bemiss. At ten o'clock he was
seen by a neighborat his residence. he
was not seen again until two O'Clock in
the afternoon, when his little ten-year-
old son, who had returned home with
his mother, heard q groan in the direc-
tion of the stable. and on entering it
was Mortified at seeing his father lying
in the agonies Of death and large boar
hog eating at his face. He endeavored
to drive it of, but the animal had be-
come mad from the taste of human blood
and attacked him. The boy retreated
to the ya.d, whore he secured an Ak,
and returning, succeeded in killing the
infuriated beast. He then ran to the
house and disclosed the sad intelligence
to his mother, who was so shocked as to
almost lose her reason.
On examination it was found that Mr..
Bemiss was still alive, and as quickly as
possible he was removed from the stable
to the house, where he fingered in IN
unconscious state until he died.
Mr.. Bemiss had been threatened
with apoplexy or paralysis for several
weeks and it is probable he fell in fit
and was attacked by the hog. How long
he was in the stable is unknown, but
those who were present when Mr..
Bemiss was removed are of the opinion
that he was there several hours.
The deceased was in his sixtieth year.
he was born in Nelson county, where
he lived most of his life. OF late years
near Wardsville.

A Lucid Explanation.

The wife of St. Louis merchant, who
had been reading in the morning papers
about the whisky frauds, turned to her
husband with puzzled expression of
countenance and inquired:
"My dear, what do the papers mean
by saying that man has 'squealed 2"
Why" replied the man. loftily,
"they mean that some member OF the
ring has 'peached' on the rest"
Peached on the rest!" exclaimed the
wife snow, what does that meant"
"Why, it means that he's-he's blow

eyes; you see. he's given 'em

"Given them awayl'
"Why, of course Can't you under
stand anything7 Do you think I'm an
unabridged dictionary" continued the
husband, impatiently. "It means he's
hos 'le. ont on em'-'gone back on
his 'pals'-'squealed '-you know"
The woman did not seem quite satis-
fed with the mans lucid explanation /;
but not wishing TO appear ignorrnt in
her husbands eyes, she remarked: "Ah,
yes see !" aud forebore further ques-
tioning.
