THE PARSONS DREAM.

"The pastor of one of the up towr
churches 10 New York." says the
Working Church, "relates the fol.
lowing singular dream Some time
ago, | dreamed that l was hitched to
carriage, attempting to draw il
through the mud which covered the
streets 10 front of my house. How,
or why had been assigned that po'
sition, | could not explain, but there
| was, pulling with all my might, as
if bad been the best carriage horse

far from the church, when the mud
seemed to get deeper and deeper,
and the carriage to draw so heavily
that gasped for breath and almost
sank down exhausted. This seemed
more inexplicable, when, looking
back, | saw the entire congregation
behind the carriage, apparently
pushing it along But the more |
tried, the harder it became, until fl,

call several times, but still no reply.

complacently out of the window, and
upon going to the door of the car
riage, what was my establishment to
see the whole congregation sitting
inside"
There are many churches who are
far from thinking that it is their
place to push. Their "calling and
election" ia to quite a different
sphere. In tne, by nature and by
grace they will assure you, they are
eminently fit to ride. If you reason
with these people, they will tell you
that you greatly mistake when you
expect them to do the pastors work.

den of church work upon his own
shoulders, and bear it along? Why,

AFTER, the murderer of Mrs SUI

has been arrested, and made confess
ion of bis crime. He said Mrs.

Freeman, hired him to kill Susan
Hill; the amount of blood money
agreed upon was fifty dollars; that
Mrs. Freeman brought him the rifle
where he was at work in the field
where Susan Hill was at work and
shot her from the fence. The first
shot took effect in the breast near
the heart. She fell and groaned
twice. He then Immediately loaded
again, went up to her, and shot her
in the forehead. He then got over
the fence, leaned the rifle up against

route back to his work. When he
asked Mrs. Freeman for his pay, she
said she did not have it then so he
concluded that he would go down to
Green county and stay until fall.

A BAD DRINK FOR LADIES OF
FASHION. Vt is related that a Ro-
chester lady who recently went to
Avon Springs with picnic party,
found herself in an unpleasant pre-
dicament. The party reached the
springs and we're enjoying them
selves slipping the waters, etc., when
friend of the lady in question dis
covered a remarkable change com
ing over the features of her com
panion. Her face began to assume
notified appearance, black and
white alternating. She was asked if
she was sick, and replied in the
negative, but her face became 80
discolored that her friends insisted
on sending for physician, who, on
arriving and examining his suppos-
ed patient, smiled and asked her
what kind of paint she used. The
lady tartly replied that she did not
paint, but only used a powder SINH
lar to that used by her daughter,
who was present and whose face
was blooming. The physician at
tributed the discoloration to the
powder, and it is supposed that it
contained some chemical that chang
ed color on contact with the sulphur
Gus vapor from the spring.

A SHOWER OF COIN.

In New York Saturday evening,
when a busy throng of people were
on the streets, two men came from
the basement of No. 40 Broad street.
One was Mr.. G. Il. Dexter, the
painter ana carpenter, and the other
one of his assistants. As soon as
they reached the sidewalk the two
men plunged their hands in their
pockets, pulled them out filed with
small coin, and began scattering the
money broadcast, literally throwing
it away. Almost as quickly as it is
written crowd of messenger boys
and young clerks surrounded them
Fighting their way through the
thrcng, the two men moved slowly
towards Exchange place, where they
separated, one going up the narrow
court towards New street aud Broad
way, and the other up Broad street
in the direction of Wall street. At
every step their hands were dipped
into capacious pockets, raised in the
air a moment, and then came al little
shower of pennies, nickels, dimes
and quarters. The crowd increased
prodigiously. 1t was composed
mostly of boys, and they struggled
aud fought good naturally, tumbling
over and trampling upon each other
in their eager scramble for the mcn-
ney. At the cerner of Broad and
Wall streets the crowd and the ex-
citement eliminated. Here Mr..
Dexter stood few moments, mob
of about thousand bustling, shout
ing youngsters about him, while be
scattered half dollars, dollars, and
few shining golden quarter eagles in
a little rain about him. Like the
Scriptursl rain, it fell upon the just
and the unjust alike, for some of the
big boys wickedly robbed sthe little
fellows of coveted pieces. The rain
was only shower after all. Ia fif-
teen minutes it was over, and Mr..
Dexter stepped into his carriage and
was whirled away.

A MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.

In New York city a princely
mansion was offered for sale a few
years ago about which hung a sad
story. A man of enormous wealth
lived to the age of sixty without
marrying then he proposed to a
beautiful, brilliant young girl, who
belonged to large but poor family.
She hesitated long before accepts
ing him; bis habits, morals and
person were all obnoxious to her, for
she was a girl of pure refined tastes.
But to be the wife of millionaire
to go to Europe, to rein like queen
in the city where she had lived on
the income of a servant-these were
temptations too strong for her, as
they are for too many American wo-
men.
She married him without a parti-
Gle of love, or even respect. She
sold herself as absolutely for money
as ever slave was sold. Her hus>
band paid for his purchase Before
marriage he built magnificent
dwelling; architecture, sculpture,
painting, gave of their best to make
it fit for the home of royal lady
there was Chinese room, Persian
room, Hindoo room ; there were
conservatorie8, picture galleries and
dainty boudoirS.
The plan was that the bride
should spend one winter in this re-
gal home, and in the spring to go to
Europe for a visit of two years.
Two weeks after the wedding the
bride groom was stricken with par
alysis, and for fifteen years hay a
helpless, querulous invalid, nursed
by his wife. The mansion was clos
ed, excepting the sick mans apart>
ments, and resembled gigantic
tomb.
By the terms of his will his wife
would inherit nothing if she deserts
ed him. She remained faithful,
therefore, only to find, after his
death, that his estate was as hollow
a sham as her marriage, and that it
had been swallowed up in his debts.
Not aIl marriages, for money end
as dramatical as this, but they are
as tragic 10 reality. The young girl
who sells her life for a price inevita
bly, reaps disappointment and mis-
apu

TEN MILES OF GREEN TURTLES.
Galveston News

Capt. j. B. Rogers, owner of the
schooner James Andrews, that lef
Lufkin's slip on Goth inst, beweer
Sabine and Calcasieu, the vesse
encountered bad weather. The sea
became very lumpy, and blow was
imminent, when the schooner sud-
denly entered field of green turtles
some of them being as large as or
binary, sized round, table. Strange
to say they were all on their back.
The schooner was lying on and of,
and from observation it was estima-
ted that the water covered by these
turtles formed an area of eight miles
in width and ten miles in length
They were of all sizes, and not one
being seen in natural position. -
The water was literally covered with
them. During the passage among
the turtles, Spanish mackerel we're
leaping high in the air in every di-
rection as if determined to escape
from the sea, giving evidence that
either the water underneath was in a
dreadful commotion or sea monsters
had come down on them from some
strange sea. Capt. Rogers is anx.
ious to have nautical men explain
these odd phenomena of the turtles
on their backs and the excitement
among the mackerel. During his
nautical career he never saw any
thing similar to it nor did he ever
before lay eyes on as many turtles
and Spanish mackerel. The storm
that appeared imminent did not
come, and the fair weather and a
good sea presented themselves after
the vessel passed through the field of
green turtles.

The consolidated census returns
for Gilmer county aggregate 8,400
against 5000 in 1870, showing an
increase of 1900 in ten years
This increase is due solely to the ex
cess of births over deaths and re-
movaIs, for there has been no immiS
grafton to amount to anything, and
a great many persons who lived here
10 1870 have removed to other sec>
tions.

Investigation is bringing out hard
stories about the New York State
prisons. 1t has long been known
that the Officials who have charge
of prisoners rob them of money,
jewelry and clothes. 1t now seems
that there is regular practice of
taking money from convicts, who
have any means outside, in consid>
Grafton of which they are let of
from contract hard labor and given
some easy birth in the prison. This
swindling Of prisoners has been GO
ing on for a long time.

Indications multiply that the Re-
publicans will endeavor to secure the
control ofthe forty-seventh congress,
and will if necessary, even trade off
their Presidential ticket in the en-
deavor. The next Congress will
make the adjustments of Congress
sional and electoral representation,
growing out of the CENSUS of 1880,
which is very important work,
and may have decisive influence
upon future Presidential contests -
This is fully as important to the
Democratic as to the Republican
party. The Democracy must be
very coreful to make no blunders in
Congressional nominations.
