DR.. John Hall On Church Fairs and
Funny" Minister'S.

The church should 'be paid for o3t-
right. This saves great deal OF sab
se q uent trouble and heartburniug On
the part of congregations. How much
We hear, these days, of Martha WASH
ington tea parties, concerts, sensational
lectures, and grab bag performances,
brought sometimes iuto the very house
Of God itself, to get rid OF these build
ing incumbrances. When the Jews
Quilt temple they did it with the
money in, their hands; none of the
grand sacred piles of olden days wero
the products of church fairs, or were
hampered with church debts. Imagine
the Temple at Jerusalem plastered all
over with placards and notices like
this:
GRAND DIME CONCERT AND OYSTER SUPPER.
Gwen ia the Temple next Tnursday week,
Under the royal auspices of King Sslomoa and
the Queen Of Snebai
The proceeds to be devoted to paying OF the
debt on the building!
How ridiculous all this seems. let
this is what is being done every day in
our land and generation. 1t is undig-
ni6ed, it is ungodly. Let your church
be paid for from the start-not in mort
cages based on the receipts of future
church shows, but in cash; let not
debt be hung around the neck Of a
congregation from the start, to hamper
and to thwart it, turn which way it
may.
For the consciously funny preacher
DR.. Hall said he had no sympathy. He
did not like the breed. He could net
tolerate the man who turned blffOoA IN
the Lords pulpit, and crack deliberate
Jokes to raise laughter in the congro-
gation--the sensational minister who
preferred to raise any excitement but
that of religion. He had himself often
been called upon to be present at sur
gical operations in the hospitals, upen
tue issue of which depended human
lives, and as he had watched the sur
geon probe wound for hours. close
upon the vital parts, when half-iBsh
slip either way would be instant death
to the patient, his admiration for tho
profession had grown into awe. If tho
surgeon, however, at SO serious me-
ment, engaged in such solemn busi-
ness, had chaffsd and joked, he thought
he could have hated him. In like sol
emn basiness is the minister engaged.
in probing the hearts of the people, t.
bring to them life and heal their
wounds in the balm of the Holy Spirit:
he who chaffs when engaged in so awful
a duty is indeed q sooffer. A clown ia
the pulpit has mistaken his field fsc
operations.-Htate Journal, Aaxiso~,

Aunt Susanna considered few roots
and herbs so handy to have in the
house," Presently I felt an uncon-
scious magnetic drawing to look up,
and there stood Mr.. Brodhead. To
this day cannot tell how he came
there. It was as though he had shot
up like field lily, right out Of the
ground, and he stood with his eyes
dropped shyly as girls, and his hand
some lips trembling. I pitied him al
most as much as Aunt Kent had
done.
"It will kill me if I don't speak; and
it will kill me if dc; and you don't
listen," said he, throwing out his words
ssraight-necked bottle. and looking
suddenly at me with such pathetic
feeling in his great brown eyes that 1
began to feel abashed. For what was
I that he should be SO stirred by me !?
"You couldn't I care any for me,
suppose?" said Mr.. Brodhead, humbly i.
Perhaps I might, I don't know
l replied, almost involuntaryily.
"Dear mel" But love story sounds
SO different when q man tells it him
self.
And so, presently, it was I who
trembled and cast down my eyes anu
blushed; aud it was Mr.. Brodhead
who looked as though he was master
Of the whole world, and the stars be-
sides.
Aant Susannah. waiting behind the
wood-bine window, thought l was
gathering herbs to stock a pharmacy,
for the sun had dropped behind the
cedars on the top of Mount Margaret,
when I went home with Mr.. Brodhead
by my side. my hands empty, but my
heart full.
Yes, We are engaged, and are to be
married two weeks from next Wednes-
day. And the moral of my story is
this:
"If you want your business done,
60; il not, send. ."-6sIseted.

A Strange Case.

Paul Kunkel died at York, Penn
sylvanis, last week, at the age of 70.
He is not tho first person who has died
at the age of ~, ether in York or New
York, but his death recalls his life, and
especially that part of it which several
years ago came very near being the
death of him. In 1a49. on walking
from Baltimore home, he encountered
q stranger at Parkton, Maryland. who
accompanied him to York and stayed
several days with him, exchanging
various articles-unbrellas and wear
ing apparel, nearly new, for old and
worthless ones. The day after the
strangers departure Kunkel was arrest
ed for the murder of an old lady at
Parkton. He was tried and convicted
He had been seen in Parkton the morn
ing after the murder, and the murdered
woman's umbrella, shoes, and wearing
apparel were found in his house. He
was so stunned by the accusation, that
his faculties forsook him for the space
of more than two months, and it was
only within eight days of tho time Of
his execution that he recovered his
memory and informed his counsel Of
his adventures with the stranger Win
ter, and of the manner of his coming
in possession OF the w0man's property.
Detectives found his travelling comrade
only two days before the day of execu
ton. He was tried and convicted. On
the gallows which Kankel had seen
built for himself, the other man CON
fessed the murder of Mrs. Cooper. A
Mrs. Goodrich had had him arrested for
stealing sheep. On coming out of
prison he saw Mrs. Cooper, and, mis-
taking her for Mrs. Goodrich, had
killed her with stone. On meeting
Kunkel afterwards, he devised the plan
of casting suspicion upon him by leav-
ing with him the property of the mur-
dered woman.-Detren Free Press.

Invention Fer the Preservation Of
Life at Sea.

The question of absolute safety on
the Sound or ocean steamers is likely
to be answered sooner than was ex !
pected. A patent has recently been
issued, and is only waiting sproper
opportunity to be developed, which is
believed to meet all the conditions of
safety, and is likely to rob the sea of
many of its horrors. It is floating
vessel, in the shape of an inverted
balloon, which is entirely covered, the
entrance being by q nan-hele in the
upper part, reached from a platform
wholly surrounding the vessel, and
from which small iron ladders drop
down to the water. Inside. arranged
around the widest parts, are seats and
berths, and under the covered bottom
is space for provisions. Ventilation
is provided for by an ingenious and
novel device. The boat is adapted for
shoal or deep water by ballast weight
which is raised or lowered from within.
1t is furnished with keel and rudder.
Its peculiar feature is its method of
motion. This is automatic. It is OBJ
tained by wave or air wheels attached
to shafts, which are connected with q
small propeller. The principal Of the
wheels is that whatever way the wind
blows or the waves move the motion is
always in the same direction and under
the control of the rudder. The boat
can be made of metal, and the size can
be regulated by the needs of the vessel
to which it belongs. It is proof
against fire, always rides vertical, is
| easily dropped from the ship. and can
| be handled by any one who knows how
to turn crank. It is simple in con.
struction and perfectly safe in the
roughest sea. The inventor is the
Rev. DR.. Haskins of Cambridge.-Bos.
