REV. MR.. WYATT ON BIBLE STUDY.
At the morning service yesterday at ST.
John street NJ. E. church said Rev. Mr.
Wyatt: Read the Bible, and read it through
You will thus get general idea of the Book
of Books. But after it is read through study
and explore it, because to know the Scrip
lures you must ransack them for the word of
God Take one of the sixty six books in tn e
Bible and study it until you almost know it
by heart, and so until you are through it.
Think of the time the books were written. the
people and their customs. Compare the Old
and New Testaments; there are three hum
dred and one direct quotations from the Old
into the New Testament. The Bible is a
book of reference. 1t tells us the way to
heaven. 1t is dictionary of salvation.
THE BOY PRE- AcHER AT THE ADVENT CHURCH
At the Advent church last evening the
Rev. A. j. Wheeler preached on "What is
Christ to Usg' ''Christ is all in all to u.s."
said Mr.. Wheeler; 1--WE do not realize the
power of Christ. He is almighty in his
work; he was almighty in saving the world;
ne Will appear unto us again and we will then
realize his almighty power. He will give us
eternal life if we follow the scriptures Christ
Is the upholder of the universe, and we are
to rest upon him. He is our righteousness
and our sanctifcation. He came to this
world in humility; he humbled himself be-
fore us for our salvation. If we follow and
obey him we shall have eternal salvation.

How the Texas Girl Marries.


Philadelphia Times.
While social philosophers have been
trying to explain why young men do
not marry, a Texas girl has pluckily
proven that they sometimes do. 1t ap-
pears to have been this lady's misfortune
to have had a backward and bashful
lover. There was reason to believe from
his constant visits that his passion was
intense enough for even that vOluptuous
cline, but beyond an occasional glace
that only irritated the girl who was wait
ing very patiently for some more sub
stantial evidences of affection, he gave
little sign of the fire with which he
wasn't being consumed. The dim light
of a turned-dOwn lamp to which she re-
sorted now and then frightened him be-
yond the power of speech. He would
neither clasp her hand or her, and when
she hitched her chair up closer toward
his some invisible power crowded his
away to a respectful distance. 1t wasn't
a very cheerful courtship for either.
Time flies and the average girl wants
something more from her lover than
awkward looks. The young man came
night after night and spoke elOquently
of the cholera in Spain, the Territorial
uprising of the Indians, the way the po-
litical rascals were being turned out and
where his fellow-citizen, Mr.. Flanagan,
would likely go to next. He commend
ed Cleveland's policy and spoke of the
growing crops following in the golden
sunlight. But he drew the line on de-
claring his love. Several times she held
her breath as he walked dangerously
near the desired point, but something
seemed to warn him in time and he
swallowed the lump in his throat and
drew off in tolerabl, order. Then when
patience had ceased to be virtue and
the old folks were growing about the
oil bill, scant as it was, she leveled a pis-
toll at his head and proposed herself. Of
course he didn't refuse.
Rumor says that they were promptly
married and that neither has ever regret
ted the impetuous betrothal. Perhaps
not, but the young man probably would
not tell all he thinks for reasons of per-
sonal safety. The girl who keeps re-
volver in close proximity for use on a
bashful lover would probably train a
Calling gun on the head of refractory
husband. Still the experiment might be
tried by the Eastern and Northern girls,
as it may be bashfulness, not fear of ex-
pense, that prevents so many men in
these sections from marrying. Perhaps,
though, is would be wise not to use a
loaded pistol; occasionally a weapon of
that kind is dangerous when handled by
a man. Its death-dealing power can
only be surmis9d when turned loose by
an irate woman.

Further Particulars of Mr.. POrters's
Assassination.
ORANGE POINT, July 81, 1885.
Editor PALArKA NEWS:
Further investigation in the affair at
the Finegar grove, has divulged the fact
that the murderer stealthiIy crept up
behind some grass and bushes about sew
enty-five feet from the place where Mr..
Porter would pass in performing his la
Dor Of narrowing the grove. Laying
there in cOncealment, he, as his victim
passed, poured two charges of buckshot
into him, causing instant death. Sew
enteen shot were found to have entered
the body, one passing through the heart
and another through the abdomen, either
of which would have caused instant
death. Tracks made by the bare foot of
a man were found at the place where the
murderer must have stood while waiting
for his victim. Gun wads and other evil
dence were also found.
MIR. Mason, witness, testified that he
saw Mr.. Porter at ten o'clock a. m. Tues
day, and as the murdered mans dinner
was found untouched, it is evident the
murder took place between the hours of
ten and twelve o'clock of Tuesday.
The above facts of the case lead to the
suspicion Of a certain party for whom a
warrant has been issued.
Mr.. Porter was n man very highly re-
spected. He usually carried from $50
to 800, on his person but had left it at
home on the day of his death. it being SO
hot he did not care to be burdened with
it. He leaves wife to mourn his loss

IMMIGRANTS.

MANY reasons are. given FOR the
failure of the South TO attract i'm
migrants, from home a. we'll as
from abroad. First and last, a con-
siderable number Of residents Of
northern and western states, have
come south, but few have remained.
They 20 back home again. 1t Is
said that the southern air Is crcr-
waiting, that northern or western
man loses his energy in few years,
and does not perform the amount
Of work in a day or week, OF month,
that he did at first, and the reason
for this is given as the cnccvat!ng
climate.
One important reason, for this
state of affairs, and in the opinion
of the writer, the most important,
is that there is no hereafter TO the
matter. In the west immigrants
can acquire some land of their own,
and by hard work, can. in few
years, own some property. Here
he cannot do it. The land IS not
for sale and if it ia, it is in tracts
too large for poor man, to pur-
chase. All his hard work, Is
thrown away, as far as the future
is concerned. At the end of one Oh
more years he is no further ahead
than lie was when he started, IL
in tie matter of securing a home
Ready money is spent or wasted
where if the man had some land o
his own, he would have spent tina
money on the property. Overcome
this difficulty, and securing immi
grants viii he much easier matter

the other day that the President

in Louisiana matters. He spoke

and thoroughly. He has not de-
pended entirely upon the combi-

counsel and heard both sides.
Furthermore, he has observed that
the arrogance, the Importance and
obtrusiveness all proceed from the
combination; that the regular
democracy arc content to state their
case, and to leave it with the adj
ministration to act on it at its
leisure. There is no doubt about
the President having informed
himself, but whether this will be
to the interest of the combination
remains to be seen. Meanwhile

MR, WHITMARsH'S MAD DOG

Mr.. Whitmarsh is the owner OF
a dog, OF that popular and widely
disseminated breed known as the
"yallcr dog" This dog, much to
the sorrow of Mr.. Whitmarsh.
curls his tail to the left. 1t is a
well known fact among scientists
that dog who curls his tail to the
right, never goes mad, but the dogs
who curl their tails TO the left arc
peculiarly subject to rabies. When
ever, therefore, there are any mad
dog stories anoat, Mr.. Whitmarsh
keeps his eye on his yaller dog.
Last week, Judge Zeiglers black
dog got to acting somewhat pecul-
lar, aud as it was very warm
weather, the dog was promptly
accused of being mad. The dog
was attacked by several dogs
around town, but was not accused
of having been the aggressor in any
case. Among the attacking dogs
was Mr.. Whitmarsh's and 4 close
examination of his dog by Mr..
Whitmarsh disclosed small
scratch on the side of his nose.
Mr.. Whitmarsh Immediately be-
came alarmed, and put in all his
spare time, watching his dog. lie
became satisfied shortly, that there
was something wrong about the
dog, that his manner of lying down,
was unusual, that he had a strange
way of looking at him, (Mr. Whit
marsh) that the dog followed closer
than he used to do, and Mr.. Whit
marsh got SO nervous that he could
hardly sit still.
Mr.. Whitmarsh sat down in a
rocking chair on the gallery, and
the dog came and lay down by the
side of the chair and looked in Mr..
Whitmarsh's face, Mr.. Whitmarsll
twisted and turned in the chair,
and went to rocking. The dog
wagged his tail, and in doing so,
that left hand curl came under the
rocker, and the dog naturally
yelled and bit at the rocker, Mr.,
Whitmarsh's yell, fully equalled
the dogs, and his spring left the
dog far in the shade. The spring
was not well calculated however
for his foot caught in the rocker
, and threw the chair over, causing
Mr.. Whitmarsh to fall sprawling OF
, the gallery. The dog rushed t.
him TO sympathize with him, bu
Mr.. Whitmarsh mistood his motive
, and kicked at the dog with boil
feet, like a sorrel mule kicking a
