OF negro minstrelsy, died in the New Orleans
Charity Hospital. II a deserved tomb Is
ever raised to his memory, let it bear the in
scriptiop, "Born Too Soon"
Long we kept Andy Parle company that
spring night at the Phoenix, and keenly we
relishef the recital of anecdote and the re-
vival of recollections of "Auld Lang Syne,"
as we drank, and talked, and fought our
battles Ger. 1t was in "the wee smaP hours
aysnt the twaP when we babe the warm
hearted Andy good night, and even then we
could not part, but paced the silent streets
in animated conversation until O'Clock
found Us at the French market, where we
took our mornings cup of eofs noir aud re-
lUctautly PARED. As q proof OF the kindly
feeling that existed In these mems hearts, /
may add the relation of an incident at part
ing. Dixon was the first to go AWAY, shaking
hands with all, and last with Jim Charles,
leaving il his hand, as he did, dollar.
Charles held it up toward Us, and his voice
was shaking with emotion as he said, "See
what that good fellow has done and with a
touch of the pride of by gone days he added:
"But am not without money; 1 am better
off than he thinks, and l will find him to-
morrow and return the money. Till then let
him feel as man ought to feel who has done
a good action"
This was our last adieu. We never met
again. The sweet, starlight night, that
lovely spring morning in New Orleans, that
chsnca meeting, those two swift hours, that
friendly party, have ever since been deeply
grated in my memory. As write do not

INGERsOLL
On the Great Men who Are I'm Hell and
the Inqaisftors who Are
In Heaven.

In the course Of his recent lecture in an
swer to Talmage, Ingersoll said:
If orthodoxy be true, then hundreds, thou
sands, and millions of the best men and
women that ever lived are in agony tonight.
If DR.. Talmage is right, then Humboldt,
who was the Shakespeare of science, and who
did as much TO enlighten his fellow-men as
any man who ever breathed, is tonight in
nell-a man with a mind great enough to
not only grasp this globe, but to grasp this
constellation. LaPlace, who read the leaves
of heaven as though 1t were book-he is
there too. Beethoven, who filed the world
with melody, and who has given us all
happy and glorious hours-he is there with
his great heart filed with harmony. If that
doctrine is true, Darwin, who found out
more about Nature and more about the laws
OF life than all the ministers who have ever
lived, from Melchisedec 10 the last priest,
aad who has poured more light upon the
world than has come from all the pulpits
beneath the sun-so great man, so grand,
that this, the nineteenth century, thousands
of years from now, will be known as Oar
wins century; that man tonight Is in hell
He didn't believe the miracles; had his
doubts about Jonah. Only little while
ago we put beneath the sod in our country q
philosopher, a man like pure, calm lake
that reflected in its bosom truths like stars
mean Emerson; and if the doctrine OF Mr..
Talmage Is true, Emerson is in perdition at
this moment. i would like TO get these peo-
pie out. There Is another man who did mc.e

greatest man who ever trod the earth, the
great human being, Shakespeare, is in hell
also, if Talmsge's doctrine is true. / am
opposed to a doctrine which sends the good
people to hell; that consigns genius to perdi-
lion, and allows iditcy to be crowned and
happy forever and ever. III this doctrine is
true, every advance you make in thought di-
minishes your chance for heaven. But who
are in heaven? John Calvin is there; so is
Mr.. Knox. All the tearers of flesh, all the
builders of the inquisition, all the users Of
instruments of torture-they're all there,
happy and perfectly delighted with what
they see in hell.

TWO OF THEN.

In the farmhouse porch the farmer sat.
With his daughter having a cosy chat;
She was his only child, and he
Thought her as fair girl could be.
A wee bit jealous the old man grew,
II he fancied any might come to WOO;
His own pet lamb and her loving care
He wished with nobody else to Share.
There should be two of YOU child, said he
There should be two to welcome me
When come home from the held at night;
Two would make the old home bright.
There's neighbor Gray with his children four,
To be glad together. Had one more,
proud old father I'd be, my dear
With two good children to greet me here"
Down BY the gate meath the old elm tree
Donald waited. alone; and sac
For whom he Waited his love-call heard
And on either cheek the bushes stirred.

And kissed the hand that was old aud brown
''Fathsr. there may be two IL you will,
And I-your only daughter still.

AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS,
BY Universal Accord,


AYERS CA1HARTIc Pills are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation. and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
efectual p1rgatiye Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, viii
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs OF the digestive apparatus.
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, If timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
lions, where a mild but effectual
cathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.

The Poet Arany.

The London Times says of Johann Arany,
the famous Hungarian poet, who recently
died: "He was the author of some of the
finest ballads and epic poems in the Hun
gariau language. One above all of them,
The Love OF Toldi,' Legendary hero, of
Herculean strength, may probably be placed
side by side with the best Of what has been
written OF the kind in any language. No
man probably ever was more completely
master OF his own Language and its genius.
Thus some of his Shakespeare TRANSACTIONS
come probably nearer to the original III an
those In any language, and have become
favorites on the stage. The Midssmmer
Nights Dream thus always attracts crowds,
and the effects of its humor tells "a much on
the Hungarian as it does on an English audi

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

She sat on the steps of the organ loft
Just after the second hymn;
And through nave and choir TO the cool, gray spir
The sound rose faint and dim,
As they settled themselves in the church below
For the sermon that followed next,
And seated myself at the altos side
AS the parson took his text.
1 marked the tender flush of her cheek,
And the golden CLEAN of her hair
The snowy kerchief round her neck,
And her throat all white and bare;
throat 80 white that indeed il might
An anchorite entice;
And family heard the parsons word
As he preached OF Paradise.
Ny arm stole gently around her waist
Until our fingers met;
And a fit ing blush made the tender iush
OF her cheek grow fairer yet.
Snowy and fair the hand beneath,
r And brown the palm above,
And the brown closed fly over the white
As the parson spoke OF love.
All, who is wise when deep blue eyes
Meet his and look coyly down?
Who would but drink. nor care to think
OF envy's Jealous frown?
Twas but to bend till 1 felt her breath
Grow warm my cheek, and then
Ny lips just softly touched her own,
As the parson said amen.

Shorty before Prince Albert's death
the Conversation at windsor Castle turned on the
Appearance of ghosts. The Warehouses Of Ely
narrated to Queen Victoria what was then known
OF the following extraordinary story. The queen
replied that she did not believe in such things,
but desired that the story should not be mentioned
before the prince as" said her Majesty, "he BE-

Rev Charles Dale's corroborAtion OF the story.
The narrative" says the writer. derives its
value from its Implicit truth The testimonies
are unimp eachable, and the long-disputed TACT is

only appear, but can exert very great force and
also possess weight and voice" The writer is a
