THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
MEETING OF THE TEMPERANCE UNION
LAST NlGHT-400 PRESENT,
Rev W. J. Young breaches Against the Sale OF
Liquors Election OF omcers by
the Union.

The Baptist church last night was
filled to overlooking, there being nearly
400 people present, 1t being the meeting
of the great Temperance Union. or
late years this union has been steadily
advancing and gathering strength on its
onward path until it has swelled to its
present enormous size, and every day
are its ranks being increased by new
corners. After the whole of the mem
bers and visitors were seated the Rev.
w. j. Young preached sermon on the
temperance question, taking for his text,
"Thou Shalt Not KILL" in which he dis
coursed widely on the effect of liquors
on mankind in general. lie pointed out
In clear and concise manner how the
Gale of liquor was one Of the greatest
factors in the performance of crime. In
directly it was the weapon with which
death Is dealt all over the world. By the
law you may not kill with knife or
pistol. No, il Is a crime. Yet there is
no bar against the sale of liquor, which
is itself only another weapon of murder.
Mr.. Young dwelt with much force on the
calling of the Legislature together to put
down fence cutting. For his part he
thought they legislate for the purpose Of
putting an end to heart killing. Hourly,
daily, yearly, do we see woman-fragile,
gentle woman-with a crushed and
broken heart fading away in death from
her husbands brutal conduct when under
the influence Of liquor. For shame, for
shame. 1t must be stamped under foot;
1t must be buried in everlasting obliv-
ion. After the sermon, the members
dissolved themselves into COM
mittee and organized San Antonio
Council United Friends of Temper
ance. The following is list oft gen.
tlemen officers elected; that of the ladies
we were unable to obtain: A. G..
Clark, Worthy Primate; Il. c. Everett,

lain; J. N. Dukes, Recording Scribe; c.

land, Conductor. An inside and an out
side sentinel were also elected.

The Bells of Shandon.

with deep affection and recollection
often think of those Shandon bele
whose sound SO wild would, in days OF child
Fling round my cradle their magic spells
On this ponder, where'er j wander,
And thus grow fonder, sweet C9Ik' Vi 'nee'
With thy bells OF Shandon
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters Of the River Lee
I've heard bells Ginning full many a cline In,
Tolling sublime in cathedral shrine;
while al a glib rate brass tongues would VI
brate,
But all their music spoke naught like thine;
For memory dwelling on each proud swelllng
or thy belfry knelling It's bod notes iree'
Made the bells Of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters Of the River Lee.
I've heard bells tolling "Old Adrian's Mole" In
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious swinging uproarious
In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame;
But thy sounds were sweeter than the dome
Of Peter
Obi the bells of Shandon
Sound more grand on
The pleasant waters Of the River Lee.
There's bell in Moscow, while on tower and
kioeko
In St. Sophia the Turkman gets,
And loud In the air, calls men TO pray
From the tapering summit of tall lminarets
Such empty phantom, i freely grant them,
But there's an anthem more dear TO me:
'Tis the bells of Shandon
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.

A Mules Sagacity.

A writer in the Youths Companion
relates the following instance of a
mules sagacity:
While stationed at Fort Webster, in
what is now Arizona, he started down
the canon on very fine and large
mule. The beast stopped abruptly,
and signified that he would not bulge
step. Spurs were dug into his flanks
to no purpose. There he stood as firm
as rock. Hammond pulled him round
and galloped back to the fort. The
next morning it was ascertained that
at a point scarcely one hundred yards
in advance of where the mule gained
his victory some Apache Indians had
ambushed the road, and but for the
brute's keen nose and ears, and firm
ness in resisting an obstinate man,
short work would have been made of
both.
While journeying across the plains
thirty or more years ago there were
hundreds of instances equally remark
able. The writer stood guard every
second night over the stock that was
out to Craze. and depended entirely for
warning of danger from two large
American mules. They would scent
an Indian or grizzly much longer
distance than dog and at once stop
eating and point unerringly with their
long ears to the direction of the dan
ger.

The Song OF the Wood Thrush.

The song of this bird defies descrip-
ton, though it has inspired both ex-'
travagant and poetical attempts from
the most prosaic of writers. When
heard from distance it sounds very
deliberate: succession Of detached,
passages, with frequent pauses. ending
IN trill, sometimes easily distinguish
ed as such, but often so rapidly deliv-
cred as to resemble the syllable
''che-e-e" with a peculiar and indesi
cribable thrill in it. If you are near,
however, you find the pauses filled with
low notes. having, apparently, no con-
nection with the song. One cannot
help but fancy them irrepressible
words of endearment ineffably sweet
and tender, and wonderfully enhancing
the charm of the performance.
He is not chary of his gift. He sings
at all hours of the day, excepting in the
heat of noon; but he seems most keenly
to enjoy the fading light of afternoon
and the evening until long after dark.
Not little of the mystery and melan-
choly that poeticai minds find. in his
music is due to the thoughtful twilight
hours in which it is heard. 1t is in itself
far from sadness. Indeed, there can
be no more perfect picture of deep joy
than this beautiful bird standing tran
gully on his branch, while giving slow
utterance to notes that thrill your soul.
| The weather is matter of no mo-
ment to the wood thrush; he has soul
above externals. Other birds may be
full of song, or moping on theirperches;
be it wet or dry, sunshine or rain, he
sings. and sings, and sings. :,
"Howsoe'er the world goes i'll,
The thrushes still sing in il"
The strongest attraction of certain
home in the Allegheny Mountains is the
song of this bird. Around the house
feathered visitors are numerous, but no
wood thrush is ever seen. Late in the
afternoon, however, when other song
sters are settling themselves for the
night, and, save the robin chatter, no
sound of bird is heard, out of the deep
woods which surround the small clear
ing, comes the stirring evening hymn
of the thrush. 1t begins with clear,
far-off prelude of three notes on an as
cending scale; then a deliberate rest,
followed by three other and different
notes, aud ending in rapturous trill.
After dccorous pause, another takes
I'D the strain. There is no haste, no
interruption, never clamor of song.
Each one enjoys his full length of time,
and though there may be a dozen sing
ers within hearing there is no confu-
sion. Each rich solo is complete
whole, perfect pearl. To sit on a
balcony of the house through the long
tranquil hours of the approaching night,
listening to the grand and lofty SYM
phony, is a never-to-be-forgotten expe-
rience; lifting the soul above the earth,
into regions of poetry and dreams.

At recent fire in Boston the insur-
ance brigadier used o new device for
the first time. 1t is called a water tun-
mel, and is used to carry water from
floors to the street. 1t is simply q
large tunnel of conical shape, similar
to that used for pouring liquids into
narrow-mouthed receptacles, and has a
short piece of hose attached, which is
carried out Of window. The device
is mounted on tripod; and is placed
directly under hole cut through the
floor above. The water on the floor is
then forced in the hole and carried
through the hose into the street, in
stead of being driven down the stair
way as has before been the casa
