Fans in Church.

Many clergyman consider fans nui-
sance in church, and say that it is very
hard to preach to the people who wave
them. These brethren will be glad to
know that burglars who entered the
Methodist church at Hohokus, n j.,
piled up all the palm leaf-fans they could
gather from the pews and set fire to
them. The wicked design of the marau-
ders was to set fire to the church in re-
venge for not being able to find the COM
munion silver, which they had hoped to
steal. The design was frustrated by the
fact that palm-leaf fans burn with such
a rapid blaze that they are of no use as
kindling. The defeated and disappoint-
ed burglars went away after having
burned the fans, and were no more
heard from. 1t is cause for congratu-
lation on the part of the Hohokus Meth
odists that the season for the use of fans
is now over.

who served as secretary to physician,
agreed to fight duel with a nobleman
in what they termed the American

Waldeck drew the black ball. He had
until the 18th of May to shoot himself,
but his antagonist extended the time two
months to enable him to arrange his af-
fairs. When this time had elapsed Wal
deck requested further extension, but
this being refused by thenobleman, who
branded him as a coward, the young
man, on the 10Th of August, deliberate
ly drove bullet through his head. He

Prospectinq.

A! correspondent of the Providence
Press, writing from the Rocky mountains,
describes the process OF prospecting for
gold as follows:
Suppose that a party consisting of half
a dozen men with wagons and necessary
outfit of tent, provisions and tools, is in
the heart of the mountains where they
think that gold is likely to be found.
They do not begin digging anywhere,
hap-hazzard, but they carefully exam
inc the gulches in which lies the sand
and gravel formed by the disintegration
of the mountains and washed down by
the freshets caused by melting SHOWS.
There is very little on the surface to in
dictate the presence of gold and yet an
experienced miner, rather from instinct
than otherwise, selects the place where
he Will begin to dig. Ii the water is low
and follows q winding channel down the
bed of what is at certain seasons a tor
rent, point where a bar has been
formed by a turn in the direction of the
stream is very likely to be chosen. 1t is
generally Of no use to examine the sur
face gravel. IF the place contains gold
it will have settled to or near the bottom.
Sometimes, however, IN experimental
painful of earth is taken up near the top
and washed, but even if it is found to
contain no "color," it proves nothing.
To prospecta piece of ground thoroughly
some gravel must be taken directly from
the bedrock, or as near to it as is pos
sible
The bedrock is the undisturbed rock
formation of the country as distinguished
from the loose drift or alluvial deposits.
The mountains are, of course, composed
of solid rock, which has been left or
thrown up in irregular positions. Rains,
frosts, the winds, break up the surface Of
the rocks, and a portion of the disinteg-
rated mass is washed down into the de-
pressions between the hills, called
gulches, from which in the first places,
the loose material has very likely been
swept away by the waters. The rock
upon which these deposits are made is
called bedrock, and if there is any gold
to be found anywhere in the course of
stream, it viii be in the strata Of sand
and gravel lying Immediately on the bed
rock. In order to reach bed rock it is
generally necessary to dig pit from a
few feet to many yards in depth.

The Little Ones Grave.

In the spring of 1869, little girl died
of consumption in Frederick City, Md. !,
aged years and months. A few days
before she died she called her father to
her bedside and said: "Papa, when I
die don't bury me deep-not more than
so Deep" holding out her tender and
emaciated arm and measuring from her
shoulder out. "Oh, it's so hard to be
put down so deep in the cold, damp
ground, and please don't place any mar
BILE slab on my grave, it will be SO dark
under it; and it will press SO heavily up
on my little breast. Sod my grave nice
ly, plant tree at it's head, SO that the
wild birds can gather in its branches and
sing for me" After pause she contin-
ued, HBut it seems to me that [ would
rather have our own birds sing for me
than the wild birds. Couldn't you let
brother Willie and sister Emma bring
our cage of little birds out to the ceme-
terry every Sunday morning and leave
them to sing for me all day? When you
are all at church in town it won't seem
SO lonesome out by myself" A few
days after this Anna died, and her af-
fectionate parents did everything as she
requested. She was buried shallow, the
grave nicely sodded and tree planted at
It's head. And still every Sunday morn
ing Willie and Emma can be seen going
out to the cemetery with a cage of little
birds to sing at Annals grave.

FAITHS RECOMPENSE

/ stood and watched my ships go out,
Each one by one, i;nmooring, free,
What time the quiet harbor filed
With fiood-tide from the sea.
The first that sailed, her name was JOY;
She spread a smooth, white ample sail,
And eastward drove, with bending spars,
Before the singing gale.
The next that sailed, her name was Hope ;
No cargo in her hold she bore,
Thinking 10 find in western lands
CT merchandise store.
Another sailed, her name was Love:
She showed a red flag at the mast,
A flag as red az blood she showed,
And she sped south right fast.
The last that sailed, her name was Faith;
Slowly she took her passage forth,
Tackled, and lay too; at last she steered
A straight course for the north.
My gallant ships, they sailed away,
Over the shimmering, summer sea;
/ sat and watched for many day,
But only one came back to me.
For Joy was caught by pirate Pain,
Hope ran upon u hidden reef,
And Love caught fire and foundered fast
In 'whelming seas of grief.
Faith came at last, storm-beat and torn
She recompensed me all my loss;
For as cargo home she brought
a crown linked to a cross.
