Tie DEACON MIsUNDERsToOD.-A
funny joke, and all the more palatable
asthe truth can be vouched for, occurred
at prominent church in New Jersey.
It seems that a worthy deacon had been
very industrious in selling a new church
book costing seventy-fve cents. At the
service in question the minister,
just before dismissing the congregation
said: :" All ye who have children to
baptize will please to present them next
Sabbath" The deacon, who, by the
way, was little deaf, having an eye on
selling the books, and supposing the
pastor was referring to them, i'm
mediately jumped up and shouted: ''An

you want by calling on me, at seventy
five cents each.-Peck's Sun.

The companies which John Stetson puts

this may be attributed half of the success

entitled " Confusion" which was given

ing to iair sized, but select
audience. IL is the most incongruous,
nnsuostantial and nonsensical piece imag-
Unable. Being u succession Of ludicrous
and improbable Incidents jumbed together
without any protonsion to plot, other than
what fate may have In her eudeayors to
straightcn the complications resulting
from the existence OF n pug dog and a
baby, the latter not psrsonatod by flesh
aud blood, the comedy IN in danger
of descending to dead rot, without
company adequate in ability. IL
was this fact that was source of
anxiety to the author, Mr.. Joseph Dor
riok, u rising English dramatist, and to
the manager, when they offered 1t before
tho footlights in the Vaudeville In London
last season, ard were compelled to place
in the cast people of uuquestionable Ell =
cheney. Mr.. Stetson's troupe Is OF this
order, and consequently makes this eccen-
trio melange Of absurdity aud humor
success. The chief male character Is
Christopher Blizzard, a delightfully."- i'm -
probable middle aged gentleman, impcr
sonated by Mr.. Henry Il. D,xey, whose
name is familiar tn theatre goers,
aud who IL remembered Tor his
iuimitable Interpretation of Bunthorne
in Patience" Mr.. Dixey seems to
have seized the very idea of tho author,
and Is Blizzard without q flaw. Then
there was another entertaining character,

were satisfactory.
There was a first piece given, entitled
" The Old Master" which was a dens,

An Interesting Lecture oy Rev. mann, OF
harrisburg.
The size of the audience assembled in
tho Duke street NJ. f., church last even
ing to hear a lecture on "Shams" by,
Rev. J. B. Mann, of Harrisburg, was not
nearly 30 large as 1t should have been,
since the lecture was most entertaining
and instructive, and was greatly enjoyed
by those present. The speaker began his
lecture by defining the word " sham
and speaking of its wide diffusion, and
then proceeded TO describe several varieties
Of the genus sham the social, political, and
religious shams, aud these were admirably
portrayed in a series of illustrative Carri-
catures, which were remarkably faithful
word pictures. The points of the lecture
were embellished by appropriate and in
teresting anecdotes full OF humor as we'll
az instruction. The Counterpart OF tho
sham was then spoken of-the true, honest,
genuine man, and the lecturer made an
eloquent plea for reality and truthfulness
in all of life's relations. Regard for the
welfare of individuals and society should
incite US to cast from us this glaring insin'
cerity Of manner and heart and prompt us
to endeayor to be honorable, earnest and
truthful. In every relation OF Nie
this terrible tendency to shams Is too
apparent and every true minded man and
woman should seek to eliminate them
effectually. There must DO an honest
purpose actuating every one OF us, and
every essay we make in life must be sup.
ported by something substantial and good.
We are reminded, said the lecturer, oil
what an eminent critic has said OF Thack-
cray, that "he could not have painted
| Vanity Fair il Eden had not been shin
ing before his inner eye.'
