Norman knew this driver not as

Sheet-Stealing in India

From the India Times.
A gentleman was once travelling
through the Soonderbuns in a native
boat, that is to say, boat surmOunted
by a mat CONSTRUCTED cabin. 1t was De-
cember, and as the cold north wind
came oozing in through the mating he
drew his blanket over him on getting
into bed. He awoke earlier than usual
the next morning, feeling very cold, and
wondering at the large amount of morn
ing light that pervaded his cabin. To
his dismay he found that hole two
feet square had been cut in the mating,
ard that the sheet on which he had
lain was no longer on the bed. The in
ference was clear that he had a noctur-
nal visitor He h AL heard stories of
sheet-lifting before; but not till now.
that he had himself been success
fully practice upon, did he believe that
the feet could be accompanied. The
sc0undrel who Covets the sheet under
you approaches your bedside armed
with feather, with which he gently
tickles your ear. Accustomed us you
are to the buzz OF mosquitocs-which,
by the way, have a notable penchant
for singing in ones ears-you only fidget
in your sleep, and, turning OH your
side, press the ear that has been opera
ted on on the pillow. Immediately the
one-hali OF the sheet thus released is
rolled up lengthwise close under your
back. The feather is then again eau
tiously applied to the exposed ear; you
turn once more, and the other half OF
the sheet is released. One more tickle
adroitly administered disengages the
sheet altogether, and the rascal no
doubt inwardly chucklcs as he leaves
YOU to your slumber.

Manufacture Of Pottery.

at is by industry we thrive" That
is an old and true saying-a theory
handed down by our fOrefathers, and il
would be well for the country. for states,
towns, as we'll as individuals, of the
present age. il il were universally adopt
ed and practiced. Money furnishes the
facilities, but it is labor after all that
makes business, builds up towns and
cities, creates wealth and gives life and
importance 10 commerce.
If manufactures are sources of wealth,
as industry is known TO be, why not in
vest in potteries? East Liverpool, loca-
ted in the adjoining county of Column
biana, has from the products of labor
money realized from the manufacture
Of pottery-grown from an Insignificant
village o, 800 or 400 people, to city OF
some 5000 inhabitants, and that, too, in
a period OF twenty years or less. And
this increase Of population and known
wealth came from the pottery traffic
alone. Potteryware made IT that place
is sold successfully in large quantities
in all of the principal marts of the
United States. Liverpool, in that busi
ness. has no rival in this country.
The question arises, are the facilities
for manufacturing pottery in Steuben-
vile equal to those at Liverpool? 1t is
claimed they are-and besides, Steuben-
vile is a much more accessible and
prominent point. 4 much more desira-
bic location; coal is much cheaper and
more abundant-and the means for
reaching markets better. The capital
lists of Wheeling are organizing COM
pany with the view OF establishing
pottery there. II is about the only bus
iness that has survived the depressing
effect of the panic-and if any bushes
offers indemnity against loss, it is most
emphatically the manufacture of pot

REDUCTION OF SALARIES.

The Zion's Herald states that the
preachers in New England are accept
ing gracefully the reduction in their
salaries, necessary to conform them to a
hard-money basis and to the altered con-
dition of things. The inevitable had
better be accepted gracefully, and yet
the inevitable may be unjust and cruel.
The salaries of ministers before the war
were generally low and insufficient.
During the initiation times they were
somewhat advanced, but by no means
in the same ratio as the depreciation Of
the currency. While the price OF labor
and produce advanced from one hundred
TO three hundred per cent, the salaries
of ministers did not increase beyond
TWENTY-FIVE to fifty per cent, The
period of initiation and money
making for farmers and busi-
ness men was a period OF trial and, in
many cases, ofactual suffering for min
listers. As the paper dollar has appre-
ciated TO par, or gold value, the preach
ers have been better paid, provided the
allowance for their support has been UNI
changed. But at the most advanced
rates realized, ministerial stipends
have not been extrayagant, even Tor a
period of low prices, and the haste ex-
hibited on the part OF many churches

A NEW EPOCH FOR METHoDIsM.

The year 1862 was the beginning OF a
new epoch in the history OF MethOdism
in this State. The annual session OF the
Conference was held in Parkersburg
Bishop Scott again presided, and Samuel
Steele was chosen secretary. The min
utes were not published, but an abstract
OF the proceedings has been preserved.
rhe period was eventful. The storm Of
war swept over the land. Many OF
the preachers had been driven from
their work. Almost every appointment
was a dangerous field. Some of the
preachers had entered the military ser
vice, and some were prisoners in the
hands of enemies. One sold his coat
and bought gunand went to the front.
Some OF the members of the Confer
ence held commissions in the Union
army, and five were engaged as chap
lains. "SOme of our brethren" saws
the published record, "have been
thrown into Jail, as the venerable father
Green, an itinerant of some fifty years,
and the patriarch OF our conference, and
jeremiah Hare, one OF the purest and
humblest men who ever stood up in a
pulpit, and who was taken over the
mountains and kept in a common Jail
over four months before he managed

RELATIVE RANK OF PREACHERS.

| do not pretend that the men for
whom ask your contributions, to-day,
have, in general, distinguished them
selves as orators or divines, although the
West Virginia Conference has had its
full share OF pulpit culture and power.
But, as Ruskin says, there are two
WAYS OF regarding a sermon, either as a
human composition or as a divine mes
sage" 1t may be that our fathers in the
ministry did not pronounce very ele-
CANT discourses, considered as human
compositions; but no class OF men was
ever more deeply impressed with
the importance OF faithfully and
earnestly delivering the Di-
vine message. They looked on
their hearers as perishing for the
word of life, as in mOmentary peril be-
cause of their sins, and as recklessly in
different to their best interests, and
they warned and entreated them with
fervency and elOquence. They smote
the rock in the desert whence the heal
ing waters flow. They lifted up the
standard of the Cross, till every one saw
the crucified Jesus. And they led
gratelul luOuSduus lIOll tlC udih Hteo
and misery OF sin into the light and JOY
Of holiness.
These earnest evangelists were not
satisfied when men merely accepted the
forms OF religion. They insisted on re-
generation Of heart and purity OF life.
The classes which they formed were
composed of renewed men, and of men
intensely following after holiness. These
societies were revival and missionary
organizations. Ont OF them grew
churches, peaceful and prosperous com
munities, institutions of education and
benefcence, and all the flowers and
fruits Of Christian civilization. Un-
eodliness was shamed and rebuked,
habits of industry and economy were
formed, and many who, to-day, are in
