with flowers by the ladies of the congregation.

a very interesting and instructive sermon to a
large congregation of parents and children
from the following text "Train up child in
the way he should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it," He commenced by
saying Solomon was of a religious parentage,
as the Bible speaks of his father David as a
man after Gods own heart; and he demon
strsited, by the acts of Solomon, the duty of
parents to children, and the Importance. of
early training. The services closed with prayer
by Hugh Watson. The Sunday school con-
vened in the afternoon, and the audience was
very agreeaDly entertained by scriptural reci-
tations by the pupils, and essays by Miss
Edmopia Stuart and Miss Mittie Jackson
There were also short addresses by Rev. R. A.
Reed, J. 7. Anderson, Joseph W. Draper, w.
B. Davenport and J Wesley Smith.

Bear in mind the evenings text
'And the door was shut" and you
may, perhaps, realize the effect OF
the following, told with little OF
the Scotch burr clinging to the
preachers tongue and the "plain T"
making the pathos stronger, One
of the younger girls of a little town
was led away into sin, perhaps by
the example of some of her COM
panions, and leaving her home went
away to London. But one day,
while proceeding along the street,
she came by a church and heard
the congregation singing an old tune
she knew we'll. She paused min
ute and while listening a sudden
vision came to her of the home she
had left, her father and mother, the
quiet village and the simple and
pure life that had once been hers.
A longing swept through her heart
Just to creep over the Threshold of
home once more and sit at her
mothers feet, no matter il it were
in sin and in shame, even though
she brought her disgrace with her
mother was there, and forgiveness
and love was there. So she travelled
the long distance to the little town,
but feeling that she must not be
seen coming home by the neighbors.
Weary and foots0re and longing as
she was, she hid in the fields until
dark, and then she waited and wait
ed, fearing that she could not make
it right with the "feyther," till he
should be gone to bed and she could
find mother alone. And when she
came to the house her beating heart
stopped in fear, for the lights were
gone aud she remembered that the
door WAS shut at night. Yet, at any
rate she must see, and her heart
leaped again when she found that
the door was open Light as was
her foot when she stepped within,
one ear heard it, and her mothers
voice, low and trembling with hope,
spoke from an inner room: "Jeanie,
is it you ?" Eyes, mother, and oh,
feared to find the door shut" The
mother spake: "Ah, Jeanne, lass,
the door mas nae been shut since We
left. "

How to- Cure SunstrOIke.

From the Boston Herald.
For an effective cure for sunstroke
the following is especially commend,
ed: Remove the patient to a shad-
ed spot at once. Place the body in
sitting posture, the back against a
wall, with the feet and legs resting
upon the sidewalk and extended in
front of the body. Get ice water
and bottle of some essence of gin
ger. Pour the ice water over the
head, copiously; never mind the
clothes. Then pour two or three
tablespoonfuls Of ginger in about
half a tumbler of water and make
the patient swallow it quickly.
Keep the head cool by using a little
of the ice water, and in case there is
not much of blow upon the body,
give more ginger. If the directions
are followed there will be no occa-
sion for the services of an under
taker. Ginger is far the best to use,
but where it cannot be had quickly
to or three good drinks of brandy
will answer.

The three days probation were
over, and John Hartley appeared
pompous and coarse as ever; and my
heart leaped with gladness at
thought Of the fate had escaped.
"Well, Miss Louise" he began, in
his overbearing, tyrannical way, II
have come for my answer I"
II can newer marry you, Mr..
Hartley" l replied bravely.
His face grew purple with ungoy-
ernable rage.
"What do you mean," he cried.
Don't you know l can turn you and
your mother into the street ?"
do your worst, sir" l returned
coldly; ''but you can insult me no
longer; am Willie Leslie's wife
"Leslie's wife ?" he interrupted,
Keeling as though he had been struck,
impossible ~
at is true, nevertheless !" l an
swered quietly,
"Do you mean to say" he cried
sneeringly, "that you are the wife of
young Leslie, who came into for
tune last week ? l cannot believe
it? You are deceiving me for some
purpose !"
II am Willie Leslie's wife ~ / re-
peated, though my brain whirled
dizzily.
AT that moment the door opened.
and my husband entered the room.
"This is my wife, Mr.. Hartley p
he cried, "and if you don't leave hel
presence at once l will eject you
forcibly !"
Hartley turned quite crestfallen
and sneaked away.
"Tell me, l cried, as my husband
drew me closely to his heart, "tel
me, Willie, what did that manmean
! Did you hear what he said ?"

we fondly hoped to join him, never
to part any more; and now, when
her strength had failed her, and she
tainted by the way, it was my duty
to strengthen and provide for her
and lead her in as pleasant paths as
possible. And l had tried, oh how
| had tried to be a comfort to my
mother.
Yet how could I do this dreadful
thing how could l marry this bru-
tai man for the sake of a home and
fortune? A terrible conflict was
raging in my heart.
Duty pointed to sacrifice. After
all, it was but the question of d few
years, and then life's weary burden
would be laid aside, never to be
borne again,
"Well," cried Mr.. Hartley, at last,
tired Of waiting for my answer and
watching my pale face with eyes full
of triumph, shave you made up your
mind ?"
Give me time !" l moaned tonly
a little respite. Grant me three days
to consider, and at the end of that
time | will give you my answer !"
He moved toward the door.
VERY WE'LL" he returned; "re-
member that 1 shall expect my an
swer when I come again, three days
hencep
The door closed behind his burly
figure, and he was gone. / buried
my face in my trembling hands and
cried it seemed as though my heart
would break.
1t was all so hard to bear, and |
was so young. Besides, there was
Willie Leslie; we had loved each
other for months, bis simple ring
was on my finger, and we had hoped
sometime in the future to be hus-
band and wife. But, alas he was
as poor as |, only a clerk on a small
salary, and marriage was a dream in
which we had no right to indulge.
But we were everything to each
other; and our love was the one sole
ray of sunlight in our darkened
lives. How could l give him up
Dared | break the mans heart, and
cast away the happiness which moth
ing but true love can bring
He came that very evening and |
listened to my story; listened with |
pale face and downcast eyes. He |
had been su fure of my love and |
faith that it all seemed a dream to |
him, all my miserable, miserable |
story. Like a flood tide, then there |
rushed over my heart the full enorm-
ity OF the sin which | was about to |
commit. My mind was made up at |
last | would not marry one man
for his gold, when my heart belong
ed to another; I would be true to
myself. l told Willie SO and when l
saw the glad light flash into his blue
eyes l was satisfied with my own
decision.
| do not know how we won mother
over TO our way Of thinking; but she
consented to our plan, and so we
were quietly married.

Daily Republican., 1882-12-18

The DELAWAREAN is wrong, entire
ly wrong, in trying to create the inn
preston that any Republican paper
was trying to manufacture sympathy
for Mr.. Croney who will in few weeks
stand his trial for the killing of Daniel
Mcguire; greatest of all it is wrong in
char ging an attempt to inject politics
into the trial. We havo no other d 3.
sire than to see fair and impartial
triSl, removed as far as possible from
political bias or influence. We frankly
confess that we did criticise an uHtortu
nate expression made by Chief Justice
C0msgys in relation to the case when
1t was before him TO fix time for the
trial to proceed, and it was only be-
cause of our desire to have fair and
impartial trial that we alluded TO the
expression at all. Candidly we would
like the DeIawarean to honestly speak
out and say whether a Judge expecting
to preside in q capital case who is said
to have used the expression: II believe
in long rope, short shift, q swift
and sure gallows," does not lay him
self open to criti cism. Were it not
that we look upon The expression IN q
mere slip OF the tongue and not express
sive of the real feelings and the well
known practice and character of our
Chief Justice no criticism could DO too
severe.

DHsagreeIng JurIeS.

The disagreement of iuries at our
recent session of the Superior Court
suggests that something should be done
in civil cases to insure a more prompt
and decisive rendition of justice. Juries
disagreed upon the most important
cases brought before the court, there
by necessitating another trial at a great
loss of time AMI money to all the
parties concerned in the actions.
These frequent disagreements of juries
are but additional arguments for jury
reform. No matter what merit there
may be in case, one party or the
other must put up with evident in.
Justice.
The question is, why would not the
court itself be more proper tribunal
for the decision of these cases into
which minute law points are SO in
tricately woven? In case like that
of Sanders against Sheriff Clark, IL
strikes the average public mind that
the court would have bsen a better and
more equitable arbiter, than a
capricious jnry. There must be a
screw loose some place in these intricate
cases. Either they are not made plain
to the average jnry or the average jury
is not capable Of graphing intellectual.
ly with intricate questions embracing
difficult and disputed law points.
