added greatly to the enjoyment of the
evening, while a piano solo by Prof.
Richard, and the sweet interlude music Of
the Stonewall Band gave a decided con-

SUNDAY CHAT.

If people would take more trouble
about living they would be less troubled
when dying.
If your congregation happens to be
small remember what John Brown, of
Haddington, once said: at is as large
q congregation perhaps as you will want
to account for at the day of judgment.
That man was not exactly a heretic
who on being asked to pray for one who
had broken his leg replied, mo. l am
too busy now, but you can go down into
my cellar and get couple of hams for
his family"
A preacher lately said that the Church
is simply hospital for invalds. If it
be living Church, however, aud does
its work we'll it very soon becomes al
institution for convalescents. The
Church ought not to be graveyard
where sinners are buried. but an asylum
where the dead are brought to life.
The Bible affords text for almost any
condition of mind. The boy who bad
had o slight difficulty with a school fell
low, and who as punishment was con.
demned to learn passage of Scripture
chose the following: Blessed be the
Lord, my strength. which teaches my
hands to war ana my fingers to fight. i"
Older children are just as apt in discov-
ering texts which suit their purposes.
However Henry A. Wise may be
looked upon as politician he certainly
said some very wise things while suffer-
| ing bis last illness. 1t will do no harm
to whisper his advice to bis son into the
ears Of a larger audience: John, there
is but one test OF anything, and that is.
is it right. II it ism turn away from it. -
He was called not wise but otherwise by
the abolitionists when he caused the ex.
ecution Of John Brown, but these last
words of his turbulent life show that his
name was not quite misnomer.

A SCOTTISH ANECDoTE. When John
son and Boswell were travelling in the
Hebrides in wet and cold weather to
secure dinner was an important object
of both. Accordingly. one day Boswell
went forward TO order as good dinner
as could be had at the next inn at which
they should arrive, and Johnson followed
slowly behind. The doctor charged him
to get roast leg of mutton, if possible,
but to be sure not to forget to order
pudding with it. Boswell was fortunate
enough to secure both, and the dinner
was in preparation when Johnson ar
rived. As the weather was cold and wet,
he at once went into the kitchen to warm
himself by good fire. There he found
the leg of mutton roasting; but, to his
intense horror and disgust. little boy
who was Blasting it kept scratching his
head directly over it, with visible trans
fer Of live STOCK. johnson was too dis.
gusted to think Of eating any of the
Joint himself, but he said nothing to his
companion, being unwilling to deprive
him of his dinner. When the dinner
was served Boswell was mortified to find
that the doctor could eat none of the leg
of mutton he had expressly ordered
"No, he said, mot to-day; intend ito
make my dinner of the pudding" Ac-
cordingly he ate heartily of the pudding
while Boswell did ample justice to both
dishes. In the afternoon Johnson told
him why he could not bring himself to
taste the mutton; and Boswell, in rage,
went to look for the unlucky boy. When
he met with him he said--"You young
rascal. why didn't you put your cap on
when you were basting the leg Of NUT
ton?" The poor boy cried and blubbered
out-"Because mother took my cap tt
boil the pudding ill.," So Boswell has
tened to tell this to Johnson, and
triumphed in his turn.

Hon. Godloye s. Orth, who has just

certain matters connected with The pay

Chairman of'the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, and stated thst some OF the

He showed letters written by Mr.. Orth
in 1878, when he was member of Con-
gress and Chairman OF the COMMITTEES
on Foreign Affairs, demanding certain
payments on claims which the Vene zue-
Ian agents considered fraudulent; but
Mr.. OrtRs letters were regarded In the
light OF threats. The agent further rep.
resented to Mr.. Falkner that he had rea-
son to believe that Mr.. Orth was inter-
ested In claims SO paid, hence the sub
p@na for his attendance.
