Sleeping Saints.

IN MOST of our Sunday congrega-
L tions, about these days, may be found
good, weary souls, who are unable to re-
sist the inclination to fall asleep. How
ever resolute to keep wide awake they
are sure to succumb, and are often deep
ly mortified by such Sunday sluggish
ness. How much charity is demanded
for these church sleepers we are not able
to determine. No doubt mans indoor
habits and outdoor avocations have
much to do with their propensity, and
they are entitled to our sympathy.
Where the indiscretion is of deliberate
intention it certainly merits rebuke, and
the course taken by Elder Swan is to be
commended. Seeing man fixing him.
self in his pew for comfortable nap, the
Elder. suddenly interrupting his dis
course, is reported to have said "When
people are overcome with sleep am
moved to pity them, but when 1 see
them deliberately making nest for
themselves, like that man over yonder,
consider it downright insult to the
preacher
Elder Knapp at a hot evening service
in the church at Hamilton, in which
were many who were nodding, when
they were suddenly startled by his re-
peated humping of the Bible, while he
cried out, at the top of his voice =
g Wake upl wake up this house is free
for all who wish to hear the Gospel, but
those who come here to sleep will be
charged two shillings for their lodg-
ings."
In our student days we were ae.
quainted with an eccentric young man,
who, when supplying pulpit not many
miles from the institution, was greatly
annoyed by observing an unusual num-
Der of bowed heads in the congregation,
whereupon he gravely remarked: If
all you that have your heads down are
praying, it's all right; but, if you are
sleeping, might about as well stop
preaching.

road the Fox Chase and the Rising
Sun, on the Germantown road the
Jolly Post, at Frankford, long kept by
the father Of Howard Paul, the actor
and author; the Robin Hood on Ridge
road, and the Bulls Head, OH the West
chester road. These old inns are rich IN
"reminiscences of the past. The Robin
Hood gave its name to the bill on which
IL stood, and Lamb Tavern gave its
name to celebrated road. The Punch
Bowl still flourishes on North Broad
street.
There are many old taverns in the
city that have come down to us from
that venerable past that were not inns
of the class we have described. These
have the peculiar old signs, the antique
looking bar-rooms, and the buildings
are indisputable relics of the buried
generations. But they were only popu-
lar resorts for drinking. Some were
for long series of years, the ward
houses of the old wards of the city and
liberties, when ward had but one poll
to vote at. In those times the ward poll
had political life and vigor wholly un-
known. Goldsmith's IS description of the
inn in the Deserted VILLAGE" and
Dickens scenes at Joe Willet's inn in
" Barnaby Rudge'' would convey good
idea of the Philadelphia ward house In
the olden time.
There was another class of taverns
sometimes mixed up with those we have
mentioned, which had distinct fame.
Of this there were the Falstaff, corner
of Sixth and Jayne streets, the resort of
the old ChestnutSt. Theatre company in
its palmy days, and of all the gentle
men of the city who were mixed up with
dramatic affair; the Mummy, in Thea
tire alley, back of the old National Thea
tire, founded by an admirer of Burton
the comedian, and a great resort like
the Falstaff; Bath Coffee House, on
south Delaware avenue, the feryy-ho
to Smiths Island for nearly half-a-cen-
tury the Robert Morris, Fairmount,
the headquarters of the boat clubs
Wire Bridge, great resort for pleasure
parties; Bolivar House, Chestnut ST.,
above Sixth, was the resort of sports
men. Indeed there was scarcely a
fancy or taste of any kind that did not
have its special tavern. In the same
way English, Scotch, Welsh, Irish,
French and Germans all used to have
their separate headquarters at public
houses, which in that sense were inns.
Among the old time names there was
an odd mixture of Scripture like The
Good Samaritan and Samson Staying
the Lion, with classic like the Golden
Fleece, the patriotic like the General
Wayne, the General Montgomery, and
the Naval Victories of 1912, and all
sorts, horses, bulls, lions, leopards and
other geological specimens. And though
so many have disappeared before the
march of improvement, enough are still
left TO satisfy the curious.
