AMONG THE SINNERS.
Revival Meeting ut the Halsted Street
Methodist Church..

&ev1va1 Meeting at the Halsted Street
Methodist Church.
The Halsted Street Methodist Episcopal
Church Is located in the midst Of a densely-
populated district the bulk Of the dwellers
therein being sinners. In view of this fact,
the members of the church, who are very
earnest Christians, determined to have re
viyal, In order to gather into the fold as
many as possible Of the wandering sheep.
They, therefore, invited Chaplain McCabe to
conduct the services, and lie held the first OF
series of meetings last night There were
about 100 people present, all apparently com
municants.
The exercises began at a quarter of O'Clock
with the singing OF the hymn commencing
Come, ye that love the Lord,
And let your joys pc known.
The Chaplain led in prayer saying that they
were surrounded on every side by souls who
were being led by the teulpter and lost, and
asking that Gods people be given desire to
be made the instruments to lead these souls
TO Jesus,-that they might be fitted as cham.
plons Of the Divine Power, and work fol
Him.
Jesus, my Cross have taken,
Ali 10 leave and follow Thee,
was sung.
The Chaplain then read several verses from
the Bible to show Gods regret at the dlso-
bedience Of His people, and urged that by
walking hunlbly and truthfully in the
path OF obedience, the highest happiness
could be attained. BY obeying God we were
sure of peace and victory. ALL should come
nearer to Hin; =, and get more Of Ills grace in
for the work before tlc1 lie firmly believed
In instantaneous salvation.
a brother prayed that they might be forti-
Ted with the precious blood and consccrate
themselves entirely to God. Might the young
be persuaded to come to Jesus and the works
Of the Devil be destroyed!
o what friend we have In Jesus
The Chaplain invited The brethren and SIS
ters to speak Where the spirit was there
was liberty, and he believed 1t right for ladies
A brother said there were souls to be
saved, and they should have the faith that
brought victory.
Another blessed the Lord that he was pres
ent in bis right mind and clothed with the
nEhteOusness,-that he desired to be identi-
fed with the cause.
PEOPLE WHO HAD RHEUMATISM
could tell the state Of the weather. He had
q kind OF all internal feeling that entered
into the very marrow of his bones that God
was about to pour out His blessing, and that
there would be q wonderful manifestation OF
His power in saving men.
Another rejoiced that he was child Of
God The Lord found him a sinner years
ago, but now his nature was changed. Once
be was Indifferent OH account of sin; now
be was touched with divine sympathy for
those who were perishing out OF Christ. A
united effort Should be put forth to make
sinners acquainted with the blessed Gospel.
Another urged all to bind themselves to
Christ, as His promises were wonderful, and
mighty work gould be done,

AN ADVERTISING GIRL.


Nt1u York Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
at the recent ball of the Seventh Regi-
ment, all offense against good taste was an
advertising girl, who had been sent to the
bail by a Broadway confecnoner. There has
of late been hot competition between the
calldy-merchants. They put their workmen
into the show-windows, use electric lights,
and use every means Of attracting attention.
Beautiful salesgirls have been device, and
several remarkable types Of American loveli-
ness are on exhibition in tho stores. They
are ostensibly employed to sell candy, but
really are set up to be admired. They are
virtuous girls, for all know, and, as a rule.
they repel any male advances. Indeed, they
are not displayed with view to draw lnel1,
but to please women. Most women are
ardent admirers OF beauty i'll their own sex,
in spite of Jealousy; and a candy-stOre with
lovely clerks is sure to be tllronged by them.
Well, one establishment has secured sur
passmgly gorgeous brunei, with sparkling
eyes, and lips sweeter than the poisoned
sugar she sells. She is the talk OF tho shop
perS, III order to gain for her wider not0-
riety, her employer sent her to the ball. He
lad dressed her at an expense OF not less
than $500 for her costume, and an unconject-
urable amount for diamonds. These brill
iants, consisting Of a necklace md earrings,
worth was fully ss5.ooo It was said that he
had hired them for the night Of q dealer.
The dress. however, was new, and fitted her
too perfectly not to have been made express,
" for her. 1t was Of white broeatelle and
Of gathered satin, covered with lace and
wllite-beaded embroidery, and the train was

edged with a coral satin balayeuse. The

In October, 1877, the brigantine Moorburg
left Foo Choo, in China, for Melbourne, carry
ing four seamen, the Captain, Mate, and last,
but by no means least, the Captains wife,
who was little delicate woman, and her
baby. They had not gone far on their voy-
age ere the crew fell sick, and one after
another died. The Mate did not succumb
entirely, but became reduced to skeleton,
and was incapable Of doing much, while the
Captain himself was almost in as miserable a
plight, his legs having swollen tremendous
Is, and his body being mass Of sores His
wife alone held up under the terrible heat,
although she had nursed the sick until they
needed nursing no longer, had looked well
to her baby's needs, had done duty at the
wheel in regular watches, and taken her
share OF scaman's work besides. To make
matters worse, the ship sprung leak, which
the Captain luckily was able to stop; and
