Three ministers sat in the pulpit of
an East Liberty church on Sunday
evening. A rising young artist who
has a comfortable studi0-if studios arc
ever comtoTtable-on Il street running
from Water to Liberty, who is one of
the workers in said church, walked
bravely to the pulpit before service and
gave one of the ministers notice to read
before benediction. The services We're
about being closed, when the young
artist again went forward and reminded
the minister that he must not forget
the notice Of the temperance meeting
down town. The minister begged
pardon for his remissness, took the slip
of paper from his vest pocket, read it,,
looked dazed, rubbed his eyes, then
smiled. lie passed the note to Il
brother minister. He smiled Then he
smiled. Then all smiled. Then No.
remarked that he would like to speak to
the young artist. The latter advanced
to the pulpit, received the notice, looked
ut it colOred very red, and looked as
'hnnyh he would like to jump through
the window He had given the pastor a
notice of temperance meeting which
read something like this:
"Dedr John-I am sorry | can't let

SUBSTITUTE FOR CALoMEL.-Sulpllate
of manganese is now being introduced
as substitute for mercury in the various
bilious troubles. In jaundice, hepatic
dropsy and hypochondriasis it is stated
to have produced most remarkable
results, and in hemorrhoids and in con
gestlon OF the frances and bronchia it is
proved no less efficacious. Anmmic
patients, who can not take any of the
preparations Of iron, are enabled to take
iron with benefit if combined with two
to five grains of sulphate of manganese.
1t is found preferable to administer the
manganese in ten grains to q scruple
dose IN glass Of water, adding little
citrate of magnesia to cause effer-
vescence. BY these doses, large bilious
objections are produced. Halfa dracllm
is said to be the utmost dose ever
necessary, ten grains being usually
quite sufficient.

On, FOR A MANA letter, post
marked Bangor, and addressed "To
the Handsomest Young Lady in the
City, was recently received at a post
office not far from Portsmouth, After
a discussion between the chief Of the
office and his subordinates, the former
official ordered the missive to be dis
played through the glass window, that
some maiden with confidence in her
charms might step up and boldly de-
mand her property. The Courier says
| 'croWds Of women have looked at that
envelope, but none has dared call for it,.
| Maiden ladies in false teeth and false
hair, have stood and gazed at the magic
direction, and then walk meditatively
up and down the corridors, endeavOring
| to muster up courage to face the aWfully
penetrating eye Of the man at the de
livery window. Handsome young wo-
| men with rosy checks and laughing
eyes have seen it and specialized as to
why it WAS not given to them without
| further delay. Young men with girls
have urged their respective sweetheartS
to step up and ask for what is clearly
their own. The amount of trouble and
worry which that little envelope has
created in the city is simply incalcula-
bic. And meantime the letter tantiIz-
ing hangs in the window, while the
Cerberus at the delivery window awaits
with uneaSiness and impotence the
dreadful moment when some woman
shall demand the troublesome docu-
,nent, and he shall be forced to compel
her to show cause, it any, why he should
consider her the party named in the
wrlt.-[Portsmouth On. H. Chronicle.
