In Prince George county, Va, a pro-
tracted meeting was brought to close
recently under curious circumstances.
One of the members of the church had
been followed there by a pet dog,
which, after reaching the place of wor-
ship, went up behind the pulpit desk
and began munching the sacramental
bread. One Of the ministers kicked
the dog, which caused it's owner to be-
come indignant, and he left the church.
His son walked up to the pulpit and
had some words with the minister.
The minister told the young man if he
did not like what he had done he could
make the most of it. The meeting,
which had been begun with a view of
keeping it up for several days, was
brought to close at the suggestion of
one Of the ministers, who said that the
devil had gotten into the dog and the
people, and he reckoned he had gotten
into the preachers as we'll.

Balance Wheels.

Merchant Traveller.
The world is full of people who lack
this valuable essential to their mechan-
ism. A watch may be full Jeweled,
made of the best material, by the most
skillful workman, and placed in the
costliest case but if the balance wheel
be left out. its usefulness becomes as
nothing. With individuals the same con-
dition applies, ard we see it every day.
A young man of strong intellect, hand
some Of face and figure, and endowed
literally with all of the essential ele-
ments, lacks balance wheel, and he
becomes a machine, useful only when
under a guiding hand. He must be reg
ulated and set constantly to make him
keep any kind of time, and just as soon
as bis adopted balance wheel leaves him,
or neglects HIM, he becomes mere or
nament, subject to rust and quick de-
cay. A good wife often proves per-
feet balance wheel to a husband, and l
know men whose sphere of usefulness
was constantly widening until they mar
ried. Women are pretty much the same
way, but not quite SO much. Women
are less lacking as a usual thing in this
particular than men, but l have OBJ
served that when the lack does exist, it
seldom is perfectly supplied this side of
the grave. What happens afterward l
am not able to say, but l imagine the
mechanism of all of them is not CON-
pleted, for we are taught that hades is
an unhappy place.

bv gentleman who, having gone to
Leesburg by the Florida Southern, was
made so uneasy by the reckless running
of the train, that he resolved not to risk
going back over it, but to come by here
over the broad gauge road, although this

his point of destination"
1t is true that the Florida Southern
passenger trains make fast time, and
usually make their stations on time, but
Judging from the very few accidents re-
ported on the road, we fail to see where
