teen days. There were eighteen con-
versions and twenty accessions to
the NJ. Z. church. Mr.. Byers was
assisted in the meeting by Revs. Jas.
A. and John Burden of the General

Nj. f. church. The conversions and
accessions were of the best material in
the neighborhood. Shiloh church il

She Wouldn't Say "Yes."


There was a strange scene at Cincin-
natl one day last week. A respectable
and intelligent young lady was engaged
to be married, and made the discovery
that her affianced was in the habit OF
drinking, and told him what she had
learned. He promised never to drink
again, and she forgave him. What fol-
lowed the Cincinnati Times thus de-
scribes: The wedding-day was subse-
quently set, and all went well till the
morning appointed for the performance
Of the ceremony. During the interval
he made his usual visits, and, though he
drank at times, his betrothed never
learned of his faithlessness until it was
nearly too late to punish him for it.
They were standing side by side, and
moment more would have found them
man and wife, when he turned toward
her, and his tell-tale breath spoke of
whisky. When the minister PROFOUND
ed the usual question to her, the re-
Spouse came family, emo" In sur-
prise the question was again asked, and
this time the response was clear and de-
cisive, "No." She then turned to her
lover, accused him of drinking, remind
ed him of his promise to her, and said
that man that would break promise,
so solemnly made, could not be relied
upon, and she feared to trust her future
to such man. Expostulations and en-
treaties were all in vain, and that little
&C Yes'' still remains unsaid.
