Unwilling Songsters.

Rather more than half a century ago
there was in Paisley an eccentric man
named Anderson, who was precentor in
one of the parish churches. A brother
precentor of church which was attend
ed by large proportion of the more
wealthy of the towns-people complained
loudly to him one day that his congre-
CATION did not join in the singing, APP
parently thinking it more genteel to
leave that to the precentor himself and
to the hired band. "Pll sune max them
sing" said Mr.. Anderson; "just you
exchange wi me for a Sabbath, an see
if dinna" The exchange took place.
Mr.. Anderson appeared in the precen-
tors desk, the psalm was given out, and
the genteel congregation, as usual, did
not Join in the singing. The precentor
stopped in the middle of the first verse,
and said, as if only thinking aloud, but
in voice distinctly audible through the
whole church, "Don't know that tune,
l see; try another" And he began
again, the second being like the first, a
very common one. The change of the
tune had no effect, the congregation
did not sing, and again the precentor
stopped, saying, Don't know that tune,
either; very strange; try another" A
third time the singing of the psalm was
begun, third tune being raised, but
this time Mr.. Anderson was success full
the congregation sung.

A GOSPEL Tent Electrified.

That it is exceedingly unpleasant to
be struck by lightning, the account
which Mr.. Wilson gives of the scene at
the gospel tent in Philadelphia, last
Sunday, goes far to prove. g was get

the entire party were around one of the

the fire, all the time feeling like man

two parts" As Mr.. Wilson spoke, his
hands involuntarily sought the top of
his head-a proceeding he repeated sew
eral times during the conversation. 81

theory is that it ran down the centre

Extraordinary Enterprise.

The proprietors of the Western Steam
Tobacco Works at Milwaukee, Wis, Messrs.
B. Leidersdorf and Henry NJ. Mendel, have
displayed energy and business capacity in
the renewal of their great manufacturing
business, destroyed by fire July 9, rarely
Witnessed even in these progressive business
times. Within fifteen days afeer the fire
they had established an entire new manu-
factory for the production of their famous
brands of tobacco-such as "Sweet Owen -
Empire" and cold Abe" fine cut chew
ing, and "Nigger Hair" and "Rob Roy"
smoking tobaccos-at their temporary fac.
terry on East Water street. Their present
machinery is all new and of the latest pat
terms, thus enabling them to turn ont even
better goods than ever before. The pluck
and energy displayed by Messrs. Leiders-
derf d Mendel, in thus renewing their great
business so soon, is something that makes
us feel proud of as indicating the character
of the business men of this country Few
firms could have so soon recuperated from
great disaster and be again running a
mammoth business within fifteen days The
firm deserves great credit for its enterprise.

depot how to get this wretched man safe
ly home. He had been cold and white
now he was hot and red; his teeth chat
tered. Never, never was one poor dis
tracted mortal 50 glad to see another, as
when put my delighted eyes upon Betsy
Crouch. There she sat in corner of
the depot, chubby covered basket by
her side, suggestive of restoratives by the
way, her whole face beaming with good
will to her fellow-creatures
God bless you, BetsyW l said.
Here is Mr.. Higgins. He is very sick.
How you will get him home | don't
know"
"Oh, bless your soul, I'll manage it.
| took good care of that when we started.
He was so sot and determined to come,
nothin' would do but to humor him;
but Well get along nicely now. The
train'll be here in little while"
| sat down by Betsy's side, and waited
till she had given poor Higgins some
domestic wine and some drops from a
bottle she had with her, and finding he
was quiet, / made good use of the few
minutes left to us, and opened my heart
to Betsy Crouch.
"For Heavens sake, Betsy" / said,

at once and foreverW
"There's nothin' to hinder his mar

No, no" | replied; but let him be
carefully this time to manage it hap

Surely, surely, said Betsy; and
presently they steamed away
When [ reached home Mr.. Baxter was
in the parlor with Violet, but she pleaded
headache and soon came up to me.
What did you do with him?" she
cried. 81 have been in an agony of
fear. / believe he is out of his mind"
Very nearly so, Violet; but he's
safe with Betsy"
Then l told her all about it, and the
poor child was wholly subdued for the
next next thirty-six hours. Every ring
of the bell made her tremble, tap at
the door sent the color from her cheeks.
At last we got news that Farmer Higgins
was safe in bed with a nervous fever,
the issue of which Betsy left in her COM
Portable way to Providence. Violet was
married the following month, and only
yesterday came my first news from the
mountains. Providence was bouutiful.

prolonging the farmers life, but hitched
it to Betsy's as happy safeguard for
the future.

A Healthy Body and a Clear Head.

If indigestion, constipation and bill
iousness torment the body, the head cannot
be clear. These disorders react upon the
brain most hurtfully, and produce cloudi-
ness in the organ of thought not expert
enced by healthy man. Happily these
brain-oppressing maladies may be entirely
dispelIed by that peerless alternative, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which cheers, re-
freshes and inyigorates the brain and nerves,
while it regulates the organs of digestion,
pels the morbid humors which poison the
system through tue bowels and urinary
passages, and exerts a powerfully invigorat-
ing influence as well. Its cathartic action
is never irritating, violent or painful, but
even natural and progressive. As an appe-
tier and sleep promoter the Bitters is unri'
vailed; it mitigates the infirmities OF age,
relieves the ailments peculiar to the gentler
sex, arrests premature decay, and builds Up
an enfeebled physique.
