"Sorcerers and ghosts prefer for their
meeting a beautiful moonlight TO night so
unpleasant as this"
We all goZed at the man who said this,
and saw that 1t was one OF the Spanish
merchants. You have often seen them, my
children, with their leggings and short
breeches open at the knee and showing
their naked hairy legs. You know what a
mingled air Of pride and misery they have
with their capabilities attached to their feet
by narrow bands of leather, their red cloak,
which they wear so gracefully, their brown
faces crowned with black hair and their
large gold earrings. He who had spoken
had, more than any you have seen, that
savage bearing which Is characteristic Of
them all. None OF us had thought OF reply
ing to this observation, made In grave and
severe voice, when my nelghbor, a young
man with frank and open manner, burst
out laughing as he said:
alt appears that this gentleman knows
the habits Of ghosts, and that they have
told him that they do not like to get wet or
dirty"
He had not finished his sentence when the
Spanard threw on him terrible look as he
said: .rfy fff4t.sa Tt,Hf

the original returns, which UNDER
went such a change in the hands
of Gov. Garcelon and his council,

discoveries. It was with some
difficulty that the returns were
obtained, as they were hid away
on top Of a tall book case in the
Governors private Office. How
ever, when the committe got a
hold Of them it soon became eyi-
dent thatthe canvass which Gov
ernor Garce]on had made was

clear that some very dishonest
things had been done in order to
turn the State over to the Flu
sionists.. An examination OF the

SPURIOUS REFORMERS.

The spurious retormer, while
paying a compliment to the pria-
ciples of reform, proves himself
a fraud. He is to be found in all
departments Of social, political
and religious life. Though a
social evil himself, his sensitive
soul is saddened by the existence
of all other social evils. In po-
liticaI life he is a plausible inven-
TOR OF strategic measures, which
keep the word of promise to the
ear but break it to the hope; and
as religionist, he makes long
prayers; puts d penny in the urn
of charity in order that he may
have a chance to get shilling
out; and to him the livery of hea-
ven has no value save for the op-
portunity it affords to serve the
devil in. Parson Conley was a
sanity rascal OF this latter type.
He used to. be extremely elo-
quent in depicting the sufferings
of poor, neglected children in
years gone by, and SO pious and
charitable was he withal, that he
was placed, by the abused conf
dence OF genuine almsmen, at the
head Of the Shepherds Fold,
where it became his delight TO
starye and i'll use the lambs.

iby yet infinite pretense is the

A Good Joke on a Preacher.

A funny anecdote is told oI
Rev. George Mueller, illustrating
the power of imagination. Last
Sunday he preached in the Cen
tral NJ. E. Church. Now il hap
pens that among}the members. OF
ssais eharcn there is very wnr-
thy lady who is badly afflicted
with deafness. In order to en-
able her to hear the preaching,
o speaking tube running under
the floor connects her pew with
the pulpit. At the pew end is a
flexible tube, with ear piece at
tached, which, when the service
begins, she takes in her hand and
holds up to her ear. The pulpit
end terminates in e. funnel shaped
attachments extending down
ward from the desk, and covered
with a sort of grating or perfora-
ted metal di &C. On the Sunday
in question Mueller espied the
grated opening in the Top OF the
desk and came to the conclusion
that it was a hot air register.
The faacied heat arising from it
seemcdsto annoy him. First he
moved as far away from itsas pos
sible, but finding that inconyen-
iens, hesolapped the Bible right
over the opening, and, it is to be
hoped, experienced no moreadis-
comfort. When the services
were over the great apostle of
faith innocently remarked to DR.,
Bay liss, the pastor, doctor. you
VIII kill yourself in thai pulpit.
Such o current of hot air con-
st&ntiy arising in your face must
be exceedingly prejudicial to
health. What wonderfully CO.
rious people you Americans are
iu your methods of theating."
Dr.. Bayliss was too polite to un-
deceive the old gentleman, who
will probably return to England
with the impression that pulpit
desks in this country are pro-
vided with heating apparatus for
the comfort Of the preachers

thought OF the sermon is not re-

not prevent q terrible church

Taking Oath Upon 1t.

A clergyman who lately left
Liverpool in one of,,tthe huge
ocean steamers began to feel
rather uncomfortable soon after
leaving thsg mouth Of the river
and having had an Introduction
to the Captain sought him out to
learn if there was any danger.
TIE Captain did not answer im-
lnss;ia.oiiy,, but led his passenger
to tho forecastle and told HIM to
listen to what was going on. The
Clergyman was shocked to hear
a party of sailors swearing Wig
orously, and expressed his hor-
ror to his conductor. The Cap
tain merely remarked: "Do you
think these men would swear In
such a manner if there was any
real daager?" Whereupon the
parson seemed satisfied and re-
tired. A day OR two afterward,
when they encountered rather a
severe storm the clergyman, re-
membering what he had been
shown before, managed to make,
his way with great difficulty to
the forecastle, and was over
heard by the Captain as he came
away, exclaiming to himself,
''Thank God, they're swearing
yet !"--[London Sporting Times.
