Cake Cooked.

Elder Cake, in common with other
would-he snowy preachers, evidently
considers it part of the regime OF
soul saving, TO misprononnce and
butcher up the English language
The public speaker who pronounces
.sco1science" confidence, and in
sotr,sling .'r," gives his tongue a
flip, Mhirr or twirl, like snake does
its latter extremity, and is guilty OF
numerous other errors that ten year
old child ought to know better than
to commit, gives sensible people
great room to call him either an ig-
noramus or an ass. Preachers need
to have a little common sense. as

Whs Sit at Gods Right Hand.

lCincinnati EMuirer.l
There was buried from st. Rose
Church yesterday young man nam
ed Rapp, a street car driver. He
was the only support OF an aged father
and mother, and the privation and
suffering which he endured that they
might have u home, with such
nesessaries of life as his scanty wages
would provide, were doubtless the
cause of his death. The family, con-
sisting Of two old people and Peter.
who was twenty-six years years of
age, lived in Washington street, near
Front. The father is crippled and
inflrn. The mother was only able to
perform such hight hbor as was ne
cessary in the care Of their little
household. All tile money that came
into their home was provided 10y the
son by his small eaniings. He paid
their house rent, supplied them with
food, clothing, fsel = everything. :.
During the past winter, and up to q
short time ago, whel. he was prostra-
ted by the aisease--quick consump-
tion-whieh termisated his life he
was in the employ f the Eighth street
car line in the capacity Of a driver.
Those who know hin speak of him as
a hero who died that his father and
mother might live. His wages were
not snffici mt TO provide all the ne
cessaries of life. and he chose that he
| himself should be the one to suffer
the most. Duiing some of the Sc
verest weather OF the past winter he
wore neither overcoat nor under
clothing, and thus contracted the
cold which soon resulted in. his
DEATH. 1t is a rule Of the company
that n driver must be ready to go out
with his car at twenty minutes be-
fore six O'Clock each morning, or re-
ceive M car that day. Although
/ young Rapp had to walk from his
home in Fulton to Prices Hill, q dis
/ tance Of four miles and half, for
six consecutive morHiDgs during the
cold weather of last winter, he never
missed car. 1t is another rule OF
the company that when not on duty
driver shall not ride on q car with
out paying regular fare. This rule
aud his poverty necessitated young
Rapp walking home every Light after
leaving his car. This made him d
daily walk of nine miles, and this, in
addition to the fifteen hours that tae
car-drirers are required to work each
! day SLaiding an a car riAttcr". toy
/ fifteen hours a day, scantiiy clothed,
perhaps hungry, walking to and
from his work through the bitter
weather, the suffering of this young
uan- must have been intense. Through
Tlt all, the comfort Of his father and
mother was uppermoSt in his
mind, and for two months he never
spent a single cent of his wages for
| himself. Car drivers receive their
wages every evening, and every
night ile carried his little pittance
home and gave it to his mother, even
TO the last cent From st. Rose
church yesterday his remains were
borne To the grave, followed by :

Spooling and his wife did not live ss

called the bes. scholar in school.
He was honorable 10 a fault, and
kipd-or at any rate, be meant to be

that the event proved blessing to
him. He did mediate upon the
speech of the Colonel, and when he
found that others-aH, in fact, whose
opinions were worth having-were
equally emphatic in condemnation Of
his course, he concluded that it would
be for his interest to turn over a new
leaf. Since that evening Of the dea-
cons supper party be has not cor
rected his wife in public. I do not
know what he has done at home, but
if We might judge from the sunlight

say he had gwen up the evil habit
altogether. A habit easy enough TO
fall into, but with consequences hard
to overcome.

How the (suebre Fire Worship
was OvcrthrOwn.

A curious story 10 current in the
eastern portion Of Central Asia, says
the New York Times, respecting the
overthrow Of the Guebre fire. worship
once predominant there by the Bud
dihst creed imported from China.
Whether historically true or not the
tale is at least thoroughly charaeteris-
tic OF the people and the country
which produced it. 1t was the Gus.
tom Of the Guebres TO- insist that
whenever any attempt was made to
introduce the worship OF a foreign
god, the newcomers image should be
brought'into direct contact with, their
sacred fire, and that the yotaries of
the conquered hero should at once
quit the field. For many wears the
fire had the best Of it, and the unfor-
tunate gods who faced it either crum-
bled to ashes or melted away in
stream, according to the material of
which they we're composed. At
length n colony of Chinese Buddhists
came from the east, and the usual
test was applied to their sacred image.
But the high priest of Buddha, think
ing that the latter's divine power
might be none the Worse for q little
secular aid, had previously illed the
image with wster, and stopped with
wax the tiny hotes which perforated
its sides. Accordingly, the moment
the wax melted, the hitherto invinci-
BILE fire began to hiss and sputter in .
very unpromising way, and finally
went out altogether, whereupon its
crestfallen worshipers instantly aban-
donsd the field to their opponents,
One pleasant night, in a lonely
spot in the Faubourg iu Temple, q
pedestrian was halted by . robber
who threatened to kill him unless he
voluntarily subscribed to the cam
paign fund. The pedestrian calmly
drew pistol from his pocket and
placing it TO the highwayman's head
marched him to the nearest police
station, where he gave him in charge
