A Busy and Important Sabbath at That
Church Yesterday.

A Busy and Important Sabbath at That
Church Yesterday.
Yesterday was quite red letter Sunday at
Foundry church. The bright, sunshiny
morning brought out an unusually large
attendance at the Sunday school. This SER
vice was followed by preaching at II o'clock
by Rev. DR.. ]. II. Vincent, who took as tho
theme of his sermon Salvation" His dis
course was logical and forciblo. At the close
of the sermon tho names of five adults were
added to the roll of membership of the
church, and collection for missionary
purposes was taken, resulting in adding to
that fund nearly 5000. At 3 o'clock in the
afternoon the regular monthly meet
ing Of the Sunday School Missionary
society was held, and 81 were
handed in by the children to swell that fund.
At this meeting the delegation of Apache In
dams now in the city were present and seemed
to greatly enjoy the exercises. At A o'clock a
vesper service ofthe Chautauqua literary and
scientific circle was held, led by DR.. Vincent.
This service was somewhat novel, and at the
same time exceedingly interesting: At 1880
o'clock the anniversary meeting of the Sun
day School Missionary society was held. The
report Of the secretary, Mr.. Gus. w. Simpson,
showed o prosperous condition Of the society,
and upward of $500 had been contributed to
missionary objects, exclusive Of tho $50 paid
by the infant class for tho sup
port and education of two orphan
children in India. Tho class named the
Resolutes, Miss Paddle Brown, teacher,
having contributed the largest amount of
money during the year, was awarded the
societys prize banner Congressman Taylor,
of the Garfield (Ohio) district, and Chaplain
McCabe addressed the meeting, and by the
collection taken up nearly 800 more were
contributed to aid the Christian missionary
effort. Mr.. Lemuel W. Williams was made
life member of the missionary society in
the morning, and Miss Ada Wiley, tho organ
ist of the Sunday school, and little Bessie
Kemp Ward, the parsonage baby, were in a
like manner honored in the evening.

Goethe on Mind-Reading.

est social craze in England, some one recalls
what Goethe said on this subject: Zone soul
may have a decided influence upon another
merely by means of its silent presence, of which
l could relate many instances. 1t has often hap
pened to me that when l have been walking with
an acquaintance, and have had a living image of
something in my mind, he has at once begun to
speak of that very thing. have also known "a
man who, without saying a word, could suddenly
silence a party engaged in cheerful conversation
by the mere power Of his mind. Nay, he could
also introduce a tone which would make every
body feel uncomfortable We have all some
thing oil electric and magnetic force within us.
y y + 1t is possible, nay even probable, that if
q young girl we're, without knowing it, to find
herself in a dark chamber with a man who de-
signed to murder her, she would have an uneasy
sense of his unknown presence, and that an an
guish would come over her which would drive
Aer to the family parlor."

The Emancipation Proclamation.

Lowell (Mass.) Times.
On the evening of the day on which Presi-
dent Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was
issued at Washington, a copy thereof came by
telegraph to the Boston Journal office, and on
the same evening a meeting of Free Sellers had
assembled in fremont Temple. While the night
editor of the Journal was engaged in preparing
the dispatch for transmission to the composing
room, Judge Thomas Russell entered the edi-
torial sanctum, all out of breath, and inquired
as to the truth of such a proclamation
having been promulgated by the President, and
was shown the dispatch sheets on which it was
written. He begged the loan of them for a
quarter of an hour, but this was refused, as being
against all rule. The Judge them seized them
and ran with all speed from the editorial room,
followed by the night editor in pursuit, but was
not caught. He reached the platform of the
fremont Temple, interrupted the speaker, and
read the proclamation, when a scene of excite
ment followed which baffied description. Some
talk was had about the proprietor of the Journal
(Col. Charles o. Rogers having Judge Russell
arrested for theft, but this did not take place.
This was the first time the proclamation was
publicly read in Boston.

A Change of Fashion-CoIors Shall BE WarR,
Instead of "Dead' White and Black.
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
DO you wish to look at a late styled oTssl7
said an undertaken and dealer in garments for
the dead yesterday, to a gentleman who tXd
called in the interests of a late friend.
What, do you have styles in grave elGthesg"
SAID the patron in some astonishment.
why, certainly, said the dealer. "Here, yea
see, we have broadcloth suits for the young Rsan
and men of middle age, dressings gowns for 0id
men, brown and black habits for ladies and lawn
shrouds for children. Here rs a downy pillow
for the baby's head.p
Are these the most fashionable c~olorsl'
Eyes: you see we have no more plain white.
Dead white, as it is called, is no longer tho
fashion. In its place We now use cream and
blue-white or pearl. Black and brown are much
used. Brown is growing into popularity with
the Catholics. We are making up some full
dress suits, but the gowns are most popular for
both sexes. Brown and black are the only ceIeTs
used in making the gentlemen's habits. OF
course the shirts and collars are white, and as
you see, they are usually set with a pearl stud.
Cravats are either white, black or cream. The
shirt, cravat, collar and gown is all in one pieeo
and made open at the back. Perhaps you do
not know that when the relatives of the dead
buy a suit of clothes at a clothing store and take
it to an undertaken the very first thing ne does
is to cut open the back. This is done to avoid
the difficulty of getting the sleeves over the
arms. These habits you see are fastened at the
back by means of strings"
Turning to another part of the store the
haberdasher in grave clothes remarked: "The
gentlemen's dress-suits are made of broadcloth,
either fine or coarse, according to the demand,
while the gowns are sometimes made of merin0,
with collar and cuffs of quilted satin. The waist
is fastened with a cord and tassel. These gar
ments, as have intimated, may be either black
or brown. For ladies three varieties are kept
which are denominated for want of better
names-the habit, the gown, and the Mother
Hubbard The habit is a sort of wrapper. The
ladies' and children's clothing are huted, en-
broidered and trimmed with lace. The fabrics
such as are kept in stock are not costly. The
satins are generally part linen, and economy is
p~ractieed in the selection of the other goods. 1t
costs less to buy any kind of a habit for a dead
person than the living. This, l think, is sensi-
BILE. What's the use of buying valuable cloth
for such purposes9 OF course rich people, and
even people that are not rich sometimes order
habits made from goods of the finest texture;
but it's no use, and the majority of the people,
seem to think so, Judging by the trade

'FWhat keeps Bessie so long at the welll"
Mother wonders, but cannot tell.
Out by the wel-curb Bessie stands;
The pitcher grasped by her chubby hands
Is empty still, while many a trace
OF anger vexes the childish face.
IF 1 were a boy, I wouldn't tease.
Leave me alone now, Bobby, please"
Up on the well-curb Bobby sits,
A roguish smile DER his brown face fits.
IT amt your kind of a boy, you see;
Give me the kiss and I'll let you be.
You're welcome to drain the old well dry,
But a kiss first, Bessie. so say l."
And Bobby is master of well and rope,
So how can Bessie for victory hope!
Slowly homeward little Bess goes,
Her soft cheeks b~lushing like any rose;
And Bob THE little vexed heart beats fast)-
But the pitcher is full to its brim at last.
There's a moss-grown we'll near by, and to-day
] heard a gray-haired woman say,
"Whst keeps Bessie so long at the welll"
A l know, but 1 wouldn't tell.
For what if two by the well-curb stand,
Bobby and Bessie, hand in handl
What if a pitcher forgotten lies
AT the feet of both, and if two blue eyes
See only the glance of another pair,
And if there are saucy lips that dare
To ask for a kissl What harm, pray tell,
If Bessie should hnger at the welll
