The III Luck Attending the Want of u
Handkerchief

A reputable merchant of Paris lately
found himself walking in the street
without his pocket handkerchief, when
Its services were particularly necessary
and, AZ he was cursing his i'll luck, saw
just ahead of him the familiar figure
of friend, who displayed the corner
of most tempting-lookig handker-

The merchant made heavy dive for

head back than the horrid fact re-
vealed itself that the owner OF the
handkerchief was an utter stranger.
SO the unhappy wretch was led oil to
the police station, but what WAS his

duty was an old friend, who, after
a hearty laugh, begged him to accept

AT THE ALLIANCE, TENT.

The attendance at the Ninth and Lom-
Dard stret tc mt, last evening was not MS
large as on the previous evening. The
mosquitoes were out IN large mum bers,
and IL was almost as much as a person
could do to sit through the meeting. ~
The meeting was presided over by Rev.
Charles H. Moore. The exercises open
ed about $50 o'clock, with singing, fol-
lowed with prayer by Rev. Charles H.
M oore.
sThere is fountain filed with Blood :"
follywed, after which Mr.. Moore address
ed those present for a few minutes. Dur
lag his remarks he stated, that the reas-
on why we have so many drunkards at
the present time was because the parents
did not take proper care of their sons.
Instead OF leaving them run al
most wild as they are doing at the press
ent time, the parents should see to it that
they were kept in the house more, and
good and entertaining reading matter
procured for them. He also said that
the late great strike through the country
was caused more by rum and tramps,
than by the honest industrious workings
men.
AT tie close of his remarks another
hymn was sung, after which Mr.McGar-
vey, and Others made short addresses.
b GOSPEL TEMPERANCE MEETING.
The tent at Fourth and Lombard
streets. was only moderately filed last
night by reason, undoubtedly, of the
warm weather. 1t was however an un-
usually interesting meeting, the
speeches being marked by great earnest
ness. 1t was announced by DIR. Hicks,
the President that no meetings would be-
held until September, as many were
desirous OF obtaining the rest necessary
to hit them for the winter campaign. He
also said that Francis Murphey, the
great temperance evangelist, would open
the Fab session of the gospel temper
ance services. 1t was thought that the
impetus engendered by his earnestness,
eloquence, and thorough consecration 70
the cause, would be felt throughout the
whole future work. Mr.. Englands speech
was sui generis-a full perfected whole;
given con dnl0re 1t bore the impress of
heart entirely filed with zeal and
christian love. He urged the accept
ance of Christ at the only hope of the
inebriate. He was followed by DR..
Hicks, wno in an eloquent address gave
resume of the temperance work. He
believed that lasting good had been ac-
complished in Wilmington, but it was
illogical to took for an immediate con-
summation. The full harvest might not
be reaped for years; we were serving
seeds which would bear rich fruit in the
the future. He thought that all the
means which had been put forth in be-
half of the temperance cause had resul
ted in good. Mr.. Graffan of Boston
was very happy In a few brief remarks
closing with the recitation of a most
| touching piece of poetry. The meeting
closed with brief address by DR.. Bige-
low.
