An ATTENTIVE CONGREGATION.
4 Leaf From-a Worthy C1ergymnn's EXPO
rlenre-TranMaied from the German.


4 Leaf Frona Worthy Clergyman's Expo
rience-TEAnslaied From the German.
1t was Sunday and raining raining
hard. raining IS it usually does at sea-
port town and on the first day of the
week. In this particular town there was
modest. upretending church, from
which the british flag was occasionally
displayed o announce that religious
service weld be conducted therein for
sailors ard sea-faring people. The
t,afgymaA On the morning of our nara
tive had arranged for the proper service,
and as thee was no sign of the storm
abating determined to order carriage.
The demaad for carriages was greater
than usual as indeed it is in every town
during stony weather. A few minutes
before IL clock, however, one answered
his summns, and arriving at the place
of worship the clergyman hastily or
dered theariver to wait until the service
was over. to find himself, however, in
the edifia aone. Apparently sea-faring
people hesitate to attend divine service
in RAINY welther with the same trepida-
ton as the sinners of the land, for not
one place fas occupied. The clergyman
being a zalous man determined to defer
the SERVES for a short while, and per-
haps thu some God-fearing person
might attend. His patience was re-
warded Tor in few moments man,
dripping wet rom the rain, entered, and
modestly took a seat on the back bench.
One might think he came only seeking
shelter fromthe pouring rain, as all the
taverns werfclosed, it being the custom
throughout England to close them all on
Sunday. Dw this spiritual adviser was
not only azealous but a conscientious
man as we, and he determined, there
fore, evenjefore one worshipper, to rem
der the seyice from beginning to end.
He read With care and deliberation a
portion O the Scriptures and the Liturgy
throughput, and influenced probably by
the piet and devotion of the worshipper
before i'm, took occasion to suggest that
the ufavorable weather had certainly
deterrd the usual visitors from attend
ing thsservice and that he would not
preacm sermon, but close the mornings
exercis with few remarks. The wor-
shippe begged him to continue the
entire service, expressing at the same
time adesire to hear the sermon. This
desire Tor instruction on the part of the
attentive listener gratified the man of
God, md, Aattered not little, he de-.
termi1ed to fulfill the request. He Sc
lected a ppper text and eloquently en-
larged upn its firstly, secondly thirdly,
fourthly, and finally concluded with "a
few wods more" The single wor-
shipperproved most attentive, and when
the services were finally concluded, our
Jealous preacher descended from the
pulpit,and, approaching the devout wor-
shippd., warmly pressed his hand as he
thanked him for the attendance and care
full attention bestowed upon the dis
course. The gratitude of the worthy
divine was, however, not so ardent when
hB discovered that the attentive wor-
shipper was-the driver, who demanded
half crown more for waiting during the
entire service.

Watering Horses.

One thing in the treatment of work.
ing horses in hot weather we are disposed
to deprecate, viz: The custom of water
ing them three times day, and no more.
1t is simply cruelty on the part of man
toward his beast to compel the team to
pillow or NOW from early morning until
noon, or from noon until night, without
allowing it the privilege of refreshing
draught. It is inconvenient, many
times, to water the team during the fore
noon or afternoon, and we are apt to
think the time thus taken lost, but when
farm, RS millennium mes there will
probably be water in every field, sup
piled from some elevated spring, or from
a running stream In the meanwhile,

it may be in behalf of the dumb animals,
is well "lost lit may be regained.
Could they speak, it might be to say

Mines of Precious Stones.

Gems of all kinds possess a curious
interest to human beings. From the
earliest times precious stones have had
a strange attraction for the wealthy and
powerful of the earth. So far, no dia-
mond fields have been discovered in the
United States, but precious stones are
found in several localities. In New
Mexico there is a famous turquoise mine
which must have been worked literally
thousand years ago, for it yielded up
its treasures to the Aztecs and to other
prehistoric races which dominated in
Mexico and adjoining countries. 1t is
believed this mine can still be used for
bringing out its peculiar treasures, but
in the eager hunt for gold and silver
mines, the mining of gems is overlooked.
In Alexander county, North Carolina,
they are discovering emeralds, and in
such quantities that the mining of them
is likely to become profitable industry.

respondent telegraphs The Government and
the English press are evidently on the eve of one
of their chronic panics about Fenianism. False
alarms are the order of the day. Extraordinary
precautions have been adopted at the arsenals
and forts against imaginary attacks. Whether
this is due to real conviction of danger, or
merely to polite Al dodge, it is impossible to
say. Among the Irish members the rumors of
an intended rising in Ireland are regarded as
utterly unfounded. The Government, how
ever, seems convinced that preparations for
armed resistance are actually in progress.
