An Awkward Faint. Burlington HaWkeve.l

Some women never can faint in the pioper manner, nor at the right tune, and if woman can not bring about this happy combination of time and manner and swoon she had better get along without swooning. Now, here, about two weeks ago, one Sabbath evening at Bradford, Pennsylvania, the best be- haved and most thoroughly moral town in the oil country,a ely not given to laiutinger other uDseemly displi ys dur ing Religious services, the Methodist Episcopal conference was ln session, and It's ministers were conducting ser vice. Just after the ordination of dea- cons woman in the gallery fainted. Now, while the ordination of deacons is a most holy, solemH and deeply impress i've ceremony, tits not wiloly thrilling and exciting, like the initiation scenes in the Sons of Malta, and it is nothing to faint over; but this woman fainted, md beautiful faint she made of 1t. It seems that she was sitting in the front seat in the gallery, and slid straight forward on to the floor, thrust ing her unconscious l-- feet right through the gallery rail. They must have been startling pair of feet to view, for the moment they were ob- served by the congregation, the pane stricken worshipers raised the cry that he gallery was giving way, evidently mistaking the swaying feet for displaced columns or bracket braces. In the most worldly manner the congregation made rush for the doors, and in the panic the saints trod tue sinners under foot and the sinners walked along on the backs f the saints, according to the re- spective size of tha saint and sinner, al. being animated by the dcsiie to get out from under the threatening shadow or those overhangiDg feet. In the midst of the confusion and terror one of those unconfned lunatics whose mission IS to say and do the most idiotic things under the gnise of sanity, sprung through window and shouted fire, and unfortu- nately escaped alive. That brought the fire department and a miscellaneous crowd of few thousand men and boys swarming around the church, and, ai- thouph Chaplain McCabe began singing a hymn at the top of his rather pene- tratine voice, the panic could not Ne stayed and the people got out, but there wasn't fall bonnet in the congregation fit to look at.
 And how badly this woman must have felt when she realized how great rum she had wrought by fainting il that ri- diculous manner, sticking through the gallery rail, like a saw buck he Nn a picket fence. And how the 'h ruined hats will o'"'e s. pecially those women to buy new ones eiven to fainting out suitable pie

The wind Is spent and the gale is past.
And the morning sun shines forth ut last
1t shines on strip of yellow sand,
And q good ship sinking In sight OF land
Over her deck and her battered side
Lazily washes the ebbing tide;
Out of the struggle and deadly strife,
Lo nothing saved but baby life. M
A wee frail thing is the one poor waif,
A wee frail thing to be sound ana sare
But all forgotten its brief alarms
1t gayly crows In the stranger arms.

"'Tis q tiny craft to have stemmed the

He sighs n bit as he bends him low,
And his thoughts fly back to the long ago.
Just such n babe on his young wife's breast,
With clinging fingers his own caressed;
Just such IN other.-.but where Is he?
Wrecked on the voyage of life, maybe.
Is this but spared that in years to como
1t may drift away from its heavenly home ?
The baby laughs as his boy once did;
All, will II be so? Nay, God forbid

For the sake of the lad he loved so much
And soft from his lips are the words that
