About the frst thing TO be done In
making the cOnteIn plated alterations In
Asbury church WAS the removal Of the
floor In the main room In the basement.
When this WAS done IL Was discovered
that one or more head and foot stones
had been covered up there. One OF these
was at the grave Of lad eight years OF
age, named Kendall, who died OF u
malignant fever in the year 1902. He
WAS the son of Rev. Caleb Kendall, who
was the stationed preacher at Asbury
In the years 1900 and 1901, his last term
running into 1892 This Was about the
period when the yellow fever made
such sad havoc amongst the citizens OF
Philadelphia and Wilmington. The
writer remembers very veil of seeing
Mr.. Kendall at his fathers house about
the year $780, he was 1t that time a
feeble old man, email of stature, and as
plain In his attire ~ any Friend Of that
day. Near by the first was also q mar
BILE foOtstone found, with the initials
81. J."cut thereon. This once stood
at the foot Of the grave Of Rev. John
Jarrell, who WAS the preacher in charge
of what was then (l7S6) called Chester
and Lancaster Circuit He had Thos. r.
Sargent, n man who in after years was
widely known, and John Robinson for
his colleagues. The head stone has been
standing on top Of the ground, leaning
against the eastern end of the church,
for many years past. Mr.. FARRELL being
In Wilmington Tor some purpose Gccu-
pied the pulpit OF Asbury on Sunday
morning and preached from Second
Timothy, fourth chapter, sixth, seventh
and eighth verses "For I am now
ready to Iva offered, ETC." He was taken
suddenly i'll the same week, died, and
the -ll.known Ezekiel Cooper preached
his funeral sermon from the same text
in Asbury ON the following Sunday
morning. 1t was an occasion that was
long remembered. The obituary of
Mr. FARRELL that was published at the
time is now before me. Itsays he WAS
man OF an honest heart and faithful
in Lis labors. He travelled all the
circuits in Delaware and the Eastern
Shore OF Mary land. He preserved q
christian and ministeIisl character,
was plain and lively preacher. He
died in Wilmington, Delaware State, in
June, 1876. In his life and in his death
his preaching was, he ye also ready,
for in such all hour a. ye think not the
Son of Man cometh." He had an I'M
shaken confidtnce and great peace and
JOY iu the Lord Jesus Christ, as they
who were with him in his last hours
can testify. q. s. IL.

Riot In Lon ndOn.

LONDON, May, 13.-A riot occurred
this afternoon between mob and the
police for the possession Of the Nelson
monument in Trafalgar Square. About
ten Thousand men had assem- bled i'll the
square to make "A demonstration against
the governments Budget proposals to
increase the duties ON spirits and beer.
The crowd was very unruly, large
proportion of it consisting of an ele
ment on search for sport. The police
found themselves unable to maintain
order and the pressure on the speakers
and resolution readers compelled them
to mount the pedestal OF the Nelson
monument. When, from this eminence,
the speeches we're resumed they were
rendered inaudible to the audience ad-
dressed by uproar among the roysterers.
The police iuterferred to secure silance
for the orators and then a great strug
gle ensued between the mob and the
police for the possessionof the monu
ment.
The row lasted nearly an hour and
the promoters of the meeting and thu
!police were finally compelled 20 retire
leaving the crowd singing in Triumph
+" Rule Britannia" Soon after th'
mob had compelled the speakers Il
leave 1t surged down to the front of the
National Club, which faces Trafalgar
lSquare, W. c. Every person noticed
entering or leaving tho club building
was mobbed. The attitude of tn
lcrowd was 30 menacing that the ciu'
Idoors were closed and messenger wa
ldispatched to Scotland Yard for add
tional police. At nine O'Clock tn
rioters were still in full possession @
trafalgar Square, and Northumberland
avenue was also occupied by mob Q
!, many thousands. The police by thi
l time had been largely reinforced, ha
charged number of times upon tn
Imob and had made several arrests.

LONDON, May 14.-Lord RandoIph

HOW COLDS ARE CAUGHT.

A great many cannot see why it is they
do not take a cold when exposed to cold
winds and rain. The fact is, and ii ought
to be more generally understood, thatnearly
every cold is contracted indoors, and is not
directly due to the cold outside, but to the
heat inside. A man will go to bed at night
feeling as well as usual, and get up in the
morning with a royal cold. He goes peeking
around for cracks and keyholes, and tiny
drafts. Weather strips are procured, and
the house made as tight as a fruit can. In
a few days more the whole family has colds.
Let a man 60 home tired or exhausted, eat
a full supper of starchy and vegetable food,
occupy his mind ~intently for a while, go
to bed in a warm, close room, and if he
doesn't have a cold in the morning, it will
be a wonder. A drink of whiskey or a
glass or two of beer before supper will fac
ilitate matters much. People swallow more
colds down their Threats than they inhale
or receive from contact with the air. no
matter how cold or chilly it may be. Plain,
hearty suppers are good to go to bed on,
and are far more conducive to refreshing
sleep than a glass Of beer or dose of chic
raj. In the estimation of a great many,
this statement is rank heresy, but in the
light of science, common sense and eX-
p~erience, it is gospel truth, and all those
who give heed, may be profited thereby,
both in the way of escaping bad colds, and
paying doctors bills.-Ftts5urg Dispatch.

AMONG THE

There will be an unusually large number
of new and rare plants offered the coming
spring by florists. The desire for novelty
in flowers grows greater each season; a
brisk rivalry is shown by the different
dealers, some of whom are investing large
sums annually in plants that give promise
of popularity. As has been already told, a
Philadelphia firm invested 81, eco in the
stock of a single rose from an English
florist two years ago: but finding this
winter that there were still some plants OF
it held by its originator, purchased them at
an expense Of %, 900 more. Not a single
plant has yet been sold of this stock, for
which Sc, 900 was paid. 1t will be put up
on the market in March. 1t is anticipated
that it will create a sensation in cut flowers
next fall, in winter giving us for the first
time a rose equa to the General Jacque-
minot in every respect, with even a richer
fragrance. Its great value with the com
mercial florist lies in its being a contin-
nous bloomer, giving buds as freely as any

however, nov that the time approaches for
the Bennett rose to be given to the public.
A florist in Washington has had the good
fortune to originate a variety of a hand
some shade of crimson-a rose of large
size and excellent form, and in fragrance
surprising any rose in cultivation. The
scent is a blending of the tea and English
moss rose perfume; a few buds will fill a
room with a most delightful odor. To
complete its good qualities, it is a monthly,
blooming as freely as the La France, OF
other roses of that class; moreover being
part hybrid perpetual, it will prove hearty
in most localities, and in consequence be as
valuable for outdoor culture as for forcing.
This rose has been named American
Beauty."-Ne1 York Ecentnq Fost.

Although they're APP to grumble some
Puts most their trust in Providence,
And take things MS they come
That is, the ~commonality
Of men that's lived as long as me
Has watched the world enough to learn
They're not the DO 5 of this concern.
With some, of course, it's different
I've seed young men that knowed it all,
An did'nt like the way things went
On this terrestrial ball
But, all the same, the rain some way
Rained Just as hard ON picnic day:
or when they really wanted it
1t maybe wouldn't rain a bit
1t aggrayates the farmers, too
There's too much wet, or too much sun,
Or work, or waitin' round to do
Before the plowin's done.
And maybe, like as not, the wheat,

4 LATE.

When the oil excitement was at its
height, hundreds of Ohio farmers drilled
wells in search of the liquid fortune, and
in a very few cases the farmer anne out
ahead of expenses. One Of the poorest
farms in Medina county was owned by
Elder Smith, who kept the ever tenor of
his way, and looked upon the excitement
as ungodly. One night some of the boys
emptied a barrel of oil into a spring on the
Elders farm, and within a day or two, by
the help of a stranger, there was a great
hue and cry. The stranger called upon
the Elder and offered him S., 900 for his
farm, then $40, 900, then $50, 600, and
finally asked him if he would take s25, 600
cash down. The farm was worth about
$500, and speculation was u~ngodly, but
the elder replied to all offers:
Il will wait and consult the Lord in
prayer"
In three or four days the sell was dis
covered, and some one asked the Elder if
he wasn't sorry he had refused the offer of
$25, 200.
''Well I don't want to say I'm sorry
he calmly replied, 'sbut III admit that if
the Lord hadn't been a leetle late in an
swering my prayers, l might have gone to
York State on a visit this summer. -

AN OLD MANS DREAM.

Oh, for an hour of youthful joy!
Give back my twentieth spring.
I'd rather laugh IA bright-haired boy,
Than reign Il g%ray-haired king.
On with the wrinkled spoils ofage;
Away with learning's crown;
Tear out life's wisdom written page;
And dash its trophies down.
One moment let my Likelihood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame!
Give me one giddy, reeliug dream
oflife, all love and fame.
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling said,
''If but touch thy silvered hair,
Thy hasty wish had sped.
'sBut is there nothing in my track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back,
To find the wished for day ,"
All truest soul of woman kind!
without thee what were life?
One bliss | cannot leave behind
I'll take-my precious wife.
The angel o n sapphire pen,
And wrote in rainbow dew
"The man would be a boy again,
And he a husband too"
SIS there another yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember all their gifts have fed
With those d~issolving years"
Why, yes, | would one favor more
My fond, parental joys
could not bear to cave them all;
III take my girls and boys.
The smiling angel dropped his pen
"Why this will never do;
The man would be a boy again,
And be a father too"
And so | laughed-my laughter woke
The household with its noise,
wrote my dream when morning broke
To please the gTay-haired boys.

THOUGHTFUL SAYINGS.

There are few better moral tonics than
developing health.
A defensive warfare is always the seyerest
test of manhood.
A man needs a strong, genial, companion,
and lot a shadow.
An opinion that is backed by curses shows
a limited range of ideas.
Talent may be perfected in solitude, a
character only in the world.
Persons under the dominion of pure self
ishness escape many perplexities.
When we stick to the actual we escape
mistakes and embarrassments.
Mans love is of mans life a thing apart;
tbs a woman's Sunday evening.
What way-marks in life mute, common
place things become in h light of memory.
One can do a great deal in two years with
sufficient motive and steady effort toward
a few points.
Hope is the only good which is common
to all men; those who have nothing more,
possess hope still.
There is a love which is the result of adj
miration and illusion, and this will often
cling to its imperfect Object to the end.
Some women know what is told them if
told plainly; others look into the eyes of
those around them and see what is sought
to be concealed.
1t scarcely seems possible for one to be-
come a sympathetic musician without a
large degree of imagination and a nature
easily moved by thought and feeling.

EATING LEMONS.

A good deal has been said through the
papers about the heaIthfulness of lemons.
The latest advice is how to use them 50
they will do the most good, as follows:
Most people know the benefit of lemonade
before breakfast, but few know that it
is more than doubled by taking another at
night, also. The way to get the better of
the bilious system without blue pills or
quinine, is to take the juice of one, two or
three lemons, as the appetite Graves, in as
much water as makes it pleasant to
drink without sugar, before going to bed.
In the morning, on rising. at least a half
hour before breakfast, take the juice of one
lemon in a goblet of water. This will clear
the system of humor and bile with efficacy,
without any Of the weakening effects of
calomel or congress water. People should
not i~rritate the stomach by eating lemons
clear; the powerful acid of the juice. which
is always most corrosive, invariably pro-
duces inflammation after awhile, but prop
erly diluted SO that it does not burn or
draw tile throat. it does its medical work
without harm, and when the stomach is
clear Of food, has abundant opportunity to
work over the system thoroughly, says a
medical authority.
