The Young Peoples Association.

The Young Peoples Association Of Elkton
held their regular monthly meeting in the
basement of the NJ. E. Church, OH Friday
night of last week. At S o'clock VIM. J.
Jones, Esq, called the meeting to order and
remarked that he was glad that this regular
meeting came in the week set apart for
prayer for young men, etc. The choir then
sang Coronation, and John Perkins, Esq,
offered an appropriate prayer, which was
followed by the choir, which sang the an
them, I" The Lord is in His Holy Temple"
The President then introduced Rev. w.
S. Robinson, of Epworth Chapel, Whining
ton, Del, who read an essay upon " Seeds"
The essayist commenced by stating that
there was no greater mystery in nature
than the inherent power Of seeds, which
enabled them to produce their kind. He
then drew u beautiful picture of the village
oak by the wayside that had braved the
storms of centuries, and underneath whose
boughs the children for many generations
had sported and played. The essayist then
spoke of the human mind and drew pic
ture of it, in which he showed that, just as
in the vegetable world, the seed implanted
in it produced fruit after its kind, and that
certain germs in the mind of Coumb bus had
produced, when fully developed, the energy
and will to enable him to discover America.
He then spoke of the development of thought
in the minds of Raphael, Milton, Luther
and Wesley, and told how the two latter
had wrestled with sense Of sin till they at
last found peace by believing in iustifica-
ton by faith, and how they became founders
that all seeds remained dormant in the earth
for some time before they terminated, and
that the lesson of patience was deGiucibe
from this. He then adverted to the dark
days of the Republic, and told how Fred
Douglass was rebuked and strengthened,
when despairing of the ultimate success of
the Aboliti0Iists, by an old colored woman
who arose in her place and asked the start
ling question, Is God dead?
The essay was well written and atten-
lively listened to by the audience, who no
doubt, profited by hearing it. Immediately
after the conclusion of the reading of the
essay, the choir very appropriately sang
"Sowins the Seed" after which the usual
intermission occurred, during which the
President introduced the reverend essayist
to several prominent persons in tho audi
ence After the internlission, the SOLO
"Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
was rendered in Il beautiful manner by one
of the young lady members Of the Associa-
ton. The concluding prayer was made by
Mr.. Daniel Harvey, and the meeting adj

when its cover was removed and its con-
tents were revealed-and all for the printers
too, To printer. the sight was so rare, so
unexpected, yet Sc welcome, that the ezcla-
nations of the "boys" can be better imag-
ined than described. A number of choice
apples, oranges and bananas first met their
gaze, while chestnuts and shell-barlls were
turned out in quantity. Candy -crackers
and pretZels came next, and n large onion,
for each of the married men, graced the
heap. A cake of soap was doubtless put in
by mistake-and we gave it away A lot
OF cigars and package Of cigarettes cacu-
pied another corner of the basket, but
which, owing to the fact that the boys are
all too good to indulge in such lu1uries,
were also given away. The last article was

Mrs. Potts, the Pedestrienne, in Good
Hands.

The Philadelphia Record says: Mrs. Potts,
the pcdestrisnne, has at last walked into
good hands The tale that she told at po-
lice headquarters on Thursday aroused the
Sympathies of n number of persons, and
yesterday Miss Annie Mcdowell, who is
always doing good turn for some enc,
made her appearance at the Central Station.
She saw Mrs. Potts, had a talk with her,
and the result was that the little walker
was taken to the Temporary Home, on 9th
street, above Green, where she will remain
until something can be done for her. A
kind friend slipped a IS bill into her hand,
and she is on n fair road to come out all
right, without throwing trains off the track
in the effort to slip ont OF the troubles OF
the world.
The Secretary Of the Womens Christian
Association on 9TH street, near Cherry, has
word to say in refutation of the charges
made against her by tho widow Potts. The
female Secretary lays she did not speak
harshly to Mrs. Potts, but merely told her
that, unless she could produce a reference,
it would be impossible to recommend her to
any one, as such conduct would be 4 viola
ton of the rules. She asked her to remain
in the waiting room, and perhaps some per-
sons would come in who would he willing
to take her without a reference. Mrs. Potts
left the house, and later in the day was
brought back By some policemen on u
strctcher. She was i'll PROSTATE cond-
ton. From the remarks the policemen
told them sie had been put out of the place
after she had paid all her money out. A
physician was sent for, who advised that
the woman be sent to hospital, but she
refused to go to one.

The New Signal.

The P, w. s. B. Railroad Company have
erected new and improved signal, or
rather system of signals, at the depot at
this place, for the purpose of notifying the
officers of trains of the whereabouts of trains
ahead of them. The new arrangement con-
ssts of four slides, two for the north bound
track and an equal numbsr for the other
one, attached TO wires extending from the
signals to tho depot building, and so ar
ranged that the proper signal can be dis
played at the proper time without leaving
the telegraph office. Tha red signal means
danger and is displayed for five minutes
after the passage of each train. Engineers
and conductors seeing this signal are re-
quired to stop, and persons crossing the
track will do we'll to be on the lookout for
approaching trains. The blue signals denote
caution, and are displayed for ten min
utes after the red ones have been removed.
Train men seeing the blue signals under
stand that the train ahead of them has
passed the station within fifteen minutes.
The company are erecting these signals at
all the principal stations on the line of their
road
