MISCELLANY
THE EARLY USE or BELLS.

A writer in the Troy Times gives the fol-
bells It is evident that the earliest use Of
bells in churches was to summon the congre-
cation but superstition soon enlisted them
into her service. 1t then became customary
at their conservation to pray that they might
be endowed with power to drive away devils
and dissipate thunder storms, hail and tenn
pests. In the opinion ofthose who originated
the practice, the evil spirits were the cause of
foul weather, and, being terrified at the saint
ly sound of the bells, they precipitately fled.
In parish accounts of the fifteenth century,
bread, cheese and beer are charged for the
refreshment of the ringers during thunder
ings." So late as 1859 tho Bishop of Malta
ordered all the church bells TO be rung for an
hourto allay gale. After the discovery had
been made of the potency of bells in terrifying
spirits. they were naturally employed in all
the matters to which fiends were reputed to
interfere. 1t was the weapon with which st.
Anthony fought the legion of demons who
tormented him during his long hermitical
life, and in the figures which were drawn of
him in the Middle Ages he is represented as
carrying bell in his hand, or suspended from
his staff. The passing bell, which was for
merly tolled for those who were dying or pass
ing out of the world, as well as the peal which
was rung after their death, grew out of the
belief that devils troubled the expiring pa
tient. and lay in wait to affict the soul at the
moment when it escaped from the body, and

MINISTERIAL DEAD-HEADs. "A writer in
the Methodist takes exception to the practice
of pauperzing the clergy by giving them
either for nothing or at discount, the things
they receive He says that tie habit Of dead
headism has grown up and out Of the impe-
cunions condition of preachers in earlier days,
when il was generally admitted that their
support was not at all commensurate with the
value of their services. But alas this habit,
born of a stern, unrelenting necessity, and
the unmanly spirit which the pressure Of our
earlier poverty bred within us, still clings to
us like second nature after the occasion or
necessity for it has passed away. What was
once reluctantly submitted to as simply inev-
table, has now become an institution. In
stead of taking the aims with blush, as
once. seeing that the only alternative was
starvation, we now not only accept them as q
matter of course, but greedily and almost inn
patiently await them. Nor do those most
sumptuousy provided for eyinces less of this
pauperized spirit than others. A ministerial
brother informed me the other day that years
ago he was sitting in a railway car by a
Methodist ID. D., now an eminent dgnitary
in the denomination, when the latter said to
him /; swim you please introduce me, to the
conductor as DIR. so and so, Secretary of SO
and SO - intmating doubtless that If this
official was apprised of his standing he would
favor him with free pass. The introduction
was given, and sure enough the free pass was
given. ~ AAss &AAN W. sst ssa

The proprietor Of a store on jefferson aT-
enue was yesterday looking out upon the ram
be-drizzled streets and figuring that he
wouldn't makesa cent the whole afternoon,
when ahard.up looking stranger, wet to the
hide, walked softly in and took seat in a
chair.
Anything to-day 2 2 asked the merchant.
The answer was lonesome shake of the
head.
Bad weather today
Another weary shake replied.
After five minutes of silence the stranger
got up and began walking the store. The
trap door leading to the basement was up
and in one of his turns he went down out of
sight like bag of shot, The merchant cali
ed out when 1t was too late end he ran to tile
trap and peered down the dark stairs with
the expectation of seeing corpse on the cell
lar bottom. Instead of that tho strange man
appeared on the stairs and assembled without
help. He was covered with dust from head
to foot and his coat split up the back, and the
merchant FASTENED to say
am very sorry, indeed. forgot the
trap-are you much hurt p,
My friend" replied the stranger as he
turned around and extended his hand, /" you
have been the means of saving me Shake
hands with me ~ 7.s
/ The merchant thought the fall had made a
lunatio, but he shook, and the man went on
"Five minutes ago was half drunk and
desperate. l had about made up my mind to
kill some one and then jump into the river
That fall has given me new and better ideas.
From this hour anna pew man, with a bet
ter life before me Shake again ~ S.
AhLyes-very strange," stammered the
merchant as he shook, and the stranger said
he stood in the door
/ thank you from the bottom of my heart
for leaving that trap open, Wife and chill
dren shall bless your name, and we all shall
bless your name, and can never forget you
Goodbye, sir--ten thousand blessings
Heaven keep your in its care y
The merchant puzzled over the case for a
long time and then went down cellar and
found evidences that the stranger had coolly
jumped down there, rolled in the dust, and
had taken four dozen knives, &C., aud also
a package of gloves. Then there was anoth-

THE OLD COUPLE.

1t stands In sunny meadow,
The house so messy and brown,
With its eumbrous old stony ehimneys
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms around it,
The trees a century old
And the winds go chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill,
And beside the. brook the pastures
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them;
They sit in the sun alonel
And the old wife's ears are falling,
And she harks to the well-known tone
That won her heart in her girlhood,
That has soothed her in many a care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinksagain of her bridal Il sFt Is #
How, dressed in her robe of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh, the morning is as rosy as ever
But the rose from her check has fed,
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on silyered head.
And the girlhood dreams. once vanished,
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses trembe
With the thrill of springtime's prime.
And looking forth from the window,
She thinks how tbs trees have grown
Since, clad ia her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door-stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmcd her hairs young gold,
The love in her girlhood plighted
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine,
TIL the day was almost done
And then, al its close, an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelids with balm; 80
And their last breath floated upward,
Like the close ofa solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they traversed
The unseen mystic road
That leads TO the beautiful city,
:" Whose builder aud maker is God"

Windrowing OF Cane.
N. q. City Item, Nov, 7.

At a meeting Of the Sugar Planters
Association, last night, Alr. Duncan
F. Kenner, its president, announced
that the sugar beet crop had failed in
France, and that in all probability
tire price of Louisiana sugars would
raise, in fact prices had already adj
vanced, and everything seemed to
denote Il prosperous season.
Secretary Giffen read number Of
answers from prominent planters to
the following interrogatories, which
were forwarded throughout the cane
growing country, at the instance of
tho association. Is it advisable to
win..row, for grinding, a portion of
our canes this season, say about the
18th to the Goth of November, before
the period at which we usually expect
a freeze in Louisiana, due regard be-
ing bad to their immaturity, crooked
ness caused by the storm rendering
it difficult to lay down aud properly
protect), and the amount on the land
to take off, All the answers agree,
and are to the effect that the cane il
40 green and crooked, that it wonltl
be inadvisable to windrow cane this
season. Some Of the correspondents,
however, deem it prudent to windrow
after freeze.

Gen. Joe Hooker.
N, Y. Times.

Gen. Hooker. whose death occurred
on Friday, has long since been with
draw from the scene of human
activities. Retirement. from service
and great physical disability have
placed him where he neither mingled
in current discussions nor invited the
criticism of those who comment upon
passing events and the men who
figure in them. Hooker seems to have
belonged to historic era, so rapidly
has American history been unfolled
since he fought in the Antietam corn-
field and at charlottesville. The
announcement of his death will recall
to the minds of middle-age,l men n
noble military figure, an impulsive
patriot, gallant soldier and a rash
and unspaling military critic. In his
day, "Joe" Hooker, Fighting Joe
Hooker" was very dear to the loyal
American peclpe. They admired his
patriotism, We're fascinated by his
dash and brilliant impetuosity, and
were exceedingly charitable toward
all his faults-and these were many.
Up toa certain rt,isft; Hs,JtteT was~a
great soldier. He was Il natural leader
Of men, fiery and meteor-like, brave,
and fearless Of death, danger. and
criticism. Yet, somehow, he failed
in supreme command, and left a cloud
upon his military reputation which
the most devoted friendship connot
wholly disptI. Now that be is dead,
it may I've truly said Of him that l.e
was /. man of splendid endowment to
whom a great opportunity came
once and found him fatally deficient.

iority will think it wise to inaugurate
it is too curly to conjecture. The
country will not tolerate any financial
tinkering. The business boom will
soon silence all such attempts.
The Dutch having taken Holland
and Gen. Schurz having declined to
help elect Cornell in New York, he
has put his spurs on aud goes for
Secretary Evarts and the State De-
partment in his Dutch paper in St.
Louis in language that shonld drop
him instantly from his seat in the
Presidents Cabinet. Read this: elf
there is Department in which, ras-
cality earns promotion, and honesty
is punished, it is the Department of
State, of which Mr.. Evarts is the
head" The President owes it to him
self, to Secretary Evarts and to tho
country at large to dismiss Schurz
from his Cabinet at once. Either
Secretary Evarts should go for being
such rascal, or Schurz should be re-
lieved for giving currency, directly
or indirectly, to such calumny
against the administration Of the Gov
ernment. 1t is hardly enough, for the
Secretary to say that he is not re-
sponsible for the editorial matter in
this journal of which he formerly had
the management, and in which he
still is alleged to hold au interest.
