THE man who mysteriously disappears from
the knowledge of his family and friends not un-
commonly turns up again with a marvellous and
more or less credible tafe to relate by way of a-
counting for his absence; but it is seldom that a
returned wanderer evolves so symmetrical a mar
rative as the one told by Mr.. Brookson, a staid
and elderly citizen of Busleton, a little town in
Pennsylvania. Four months ago Mr.. Brookson
left home for a trip to Philadelphia, and was not
seen or heard of by his family until he walked
into his house one day last week, in a dazed and
stupid condition. When he had slept and recov-
cred from what was evidently the influence of
a drug, he explained that on the train
to Philadelphia he had fallen in with a
quiet, respectable-looking man, whom he
found to be the captain of a schooner in
the South American trade, which was to start
the next day on a voyage to Porto Rico. The
acquaintance between Mr.. Brookson and the
captain progressed rapidly, and apparently being
mutually agreeable, the proposition was made
that they dine together. To this the Bustleton
man agreed, first explaining that some haste was
necessary. as he must get to the bank before the
closing hour in order to deposit $500 which he
had with him. At the meal both the men drank
several times, and Mr.. Brookson, not being ac-
customed to strong beverages, forget the
progress of time, andneglected to visit the bank.
The captain, he says, coaxed him to go on the
voyage to Porto Rico, but he declined, agreeing,
however, to go Down and look at the
vessel. He went on board, and the cap
tain proved himself such an excellent and
entertaining host that the hours few by again
unnotieed. When be finally rose to 60 he found
himself overcome by dizziness, and also became
aware that the vessel was moving. Then he
tainted, and did not recover consciousness until
nextday, when he found himself in a comfortable
berth, and with a colored man at his side ready

more dangerous than those Of idleness and

that an examination of other criminal statistics
than those from Kansas would tell a like story
of a moral declens,on from which the country
must recover, if as a people we are to become
as sturdy and strong in the fbers of moral
character as we are thrifty and prosperous in
the material. We have merely ventured a hint
in a direction where there may well be
thoughtful and protracted study.

Times were hard and business dull in '42-43,
and Millerism filled more space in popular at
tention than it would in a time of more actiy-
ity and material interest. 1t was discussed
in families, and workshops, and schools, and
newspapers, though rarely in a serious vein by
the latter. Rev. Joshua Hines was then
publishing a Second Advent weekly paper in
Cincinnati, called the Midnight Cry. The
secular called it all sorts of comical instances:
1.-The Midnight Howl" '"The Squeal in the
Dark" ''The Night Yelper,' and dozen other
odd names. It's editor published every week
more or less of such rubbish as 0Apple found

it" "a child newly born says the Lord is
coming, and dies at once" OF course these
were parodied and ridiculed constantly. One
steamboatman of phenomenal piety-thaG
class forty odd years ago not greatly in
Ginning to grace and good works-wrote a let
ter describing a meteor he saw while
plotting his boat up the Ohio, the
train of which remained fixed for some mo-
ments after the body had disappeared, and
then broke up into divisions, which formed
letters and the sentences: prepare for the
coming OF the Lord Some wag parodied the
story with one of a meteor whose tail broke into
letters that spelled out 'Pay the Printer
When the appointed day came, and disappoint-
ment with it, b new day was fixed, and when
that missed, too, the believers about here gave
the advent up as a big mistake, and made no
fuss about it, except that the old lady with
the ascension robes went permanently insane,
it is said; and the poetical farmer went off to
the Shakers, as before related. The people
took as much interest in the race for Governor
between Joseph G.. Marshall and James Whit
comb as if there had never been any expecta-
ton of a. catastrophe that would make Gov

The feminine nature is pretty much the same,
whether in Paris or Indianapolis. The court

crowded with r~ichly-dressed and fashionable
