Although dancing is discoun tenanced by
most Presbyterians, there is no law against
it IN the book of discipline or the confession
OF faith. A Scotch farmer in Stromness
Was suspended by the church session because
he granted the use of his barn for dancing
purposes. He appealed to a Presbytery
Presbytery tried the case, ana had a very
close vote on it. After weary discussion
Presbytery removed the suspension on con-
diton that the farmer would promise that
no strong drink should ever be used at any
ball given in his barn. He readily consented
to this. and is now as good church member
ard in as fnll standing as anybody in the
parish. He can have ball in that barn ev-
cry night, if it seem good to him, provided
he excludes Scotch whisky and other stimu-
lants.

The Primitive Baptist camp meeting at
Silver Creek, Georgia, had a strange inter
ruption. A matronly woman began to
scream and cry in violent manner during
prayer time. The preacher thought it was a
case of spiritual anxiety, and put on more
religious fervor, which had magnetic effect
on the prayerful worshipers and caused
them TO 90 likewise The stimulated the
matronly woman to renewed exertions and
increased noise. Presently she declared that
she was not praying, but that she was mad
about her daughter. A young man had
been paying attentions to her daughter, and
the mother had told the girl to have nothing
TO do with him. In order to make sure of
this the old lady had held the girl by the arm
while engaged in prayer. Very silently and
slyly the young man came and knelt by the
girl. The old lady, who was deVOutly pray
ing, did not see him, nor did she see the
other man VINO knelt with him. Nor did she
at first know that the whispered words which
fell from the lips of the three constituted the
marriage service 1t was when she found
out that her daughter had thus been mar
ried on the sly that she began to scream.
For a while=she was uncomfortable. But at
last she yielded to wise counsel, and decided
to make the best OF what she considered a
bad bargain. The brethren present thought
the wedding one of the most extraordinary
ever known in camp-meeting history.

Through a Tunnel.

lSOrlngne!Q news.
A party OF four persons were travelling on
the Hudson River road one summer. In
seat was q young lady and gentleman who
had been very attentive to her. In the seat
behind them sat their friends, one of whom
was q spOrtive young lady. fond of practical
jokes and rather defiant of public opinion.
As the train dashed through a short and very
dark tunnel, she leaned over and imprinted
resonant kiss on the cheek of the young
lady in front of her. A scream followed and
laughter come from the darkness all over the
car. AS the train ran into daylight the in
suited young lady turned on her innocent
escort, and with swapping eyes and flaming
cheeks said:
How dare you insult me in this man
ner?''
II assure YOU" he said stammering in con-
fusion at the strangeness of his position, that
l have done nothing"
'NOthing" she repeated, and burst into
tears.
The passengers now ceased laughing
and looked at the unfortunate fellow indig-
nantly. After further protests, which were
not needed, he went to the smoking car.
The sportive young lady wrote a note the
next day and explained matters. The young
couple were reconciled. married and the other
young lady was not invited to their wedding
An annoying practical joke was played on a
baShful young man who was to accompany
young lady on journey. While coming
through a tunnell friend knocked o fl the
bashful young mans hat, forced his fingers
through his hair kissed the back of his own
hand and then slapped his own face violent
tly. Everyone in the car looked in that di-
rection when the light came, and the friend
was apparently the most surprised of all.
The mussed-up appearance and cunfusion of
the astonished victim convinced the specta
tors that he had tried to steal kiss and had
been slapped. The young lady understood
the situation and blushed painfully. The
friends got off at the same station. a rough
and-tumble followed, and the practical joker
was whipped.

Henry, and determined to see him.
Therefore, that his absence from home
might not be talked of and made q

residence, and finally left the city al
together.
Young Henry Mason was in New
York, where he had gone immed;-
ateiy upon leaving the prison ,. and
hither Richard Martin bstook himself.
It was late when he arrived in the
metropolis, and he was forced to wait
until the next morning to see the OBJ
ject of his visit.

his toilet and quickly foand his way TO
the sddress given him.

And this the result The shock was ter
rible one for Nellie Mason, and she was car
ried to her room by her Uncle Richard,
who had sacrificed his feelings that he
might promote peace. With q clear con-
science, he could afterwards look back to
that day aud say that he did what he
could.
With this terrible scene ended Nellie
Mason's troubles. She had told the truth,
although she felt, at times as if it had
really killed her wretched husband. She
could not have loved him, she knew, as
she had learned to love another whose af-
lection she felt to he above price. This
man she married ono year after Henry Ma
sons death, and became Mrs. Richard

By honest, upright dealing her husband
built up fine business and took into part

ington.
The old Remington homestead was ele-
gantly arranged, being bought again from
MIR. Mason, who was forced to accept its
price, though he strenuously endeavored
to make it present to the bride of his
friend, Richard Martin. So it was that all
ended well for the Remingtons.
Much tribuhtion had worked Joy and

when she was united to the man she really
loved could see the enormity of the sin she
had committed in marrying for mere
wealth. But she repented of it and was

Bro. Grisamorc, the trouble in 1892 was
that the outlet, th1t nature forced upon us,
was entirely too wide and too general. Now,
was it not, Bro Morgan Ci'y Repiew.
Most undoubtedly, the outlet
of 1882 was both too wide and too
general.
And that is the trouble with all
outlets.
The proper outlet for the water
that flows down the Mississippi is
the mouth of the River, where the
water flows into the Gulf. Any
other will prove u delusion,-a
sham.
