Religious services are held at present
every evening in several of our churches
the Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Pres
byterian. Such efforts to do good ought to
be encouraged by a full attendance. To
mention only the lowest motive, the pros
perity of the churches lies at the founda-
ton Of our material, social and civil well
fare. There is no surer way of making
our boys good, useful happy citizens, than
by making them true christians.

Those who ought to know smile
somewhat incredulously when asked
touching the reports that President
Cleveland is to be married. Probably
none are born of truth. The president
has now reached an age when matri-
mony does not disturb one as it might
in younger years. His friends fear that
he is a confirmed bachelor, because ne
rather likes a bachelors life. Hetakes
a good deal of enjoyment, no doubt,
on cold winter nights in brewing his
own punch and owe a game of solitaire
with cards. But the president is by no
means a woman-hater. Far from it.
He accords the most cordial reception
to the ladies, and has a charm of man
ner when in female society calculated
to make a good impression. Many
who have visited the white house will
attest to this. He has been so long a
bachelor that he is confirmed in the
habits of that class. He would much
prefer a good rubber at whist with
three male companions to a game of
progressive euchre with a dozen tables
filled with the fair sex. 1t is safe to
say the president will continue his
bachelorhood during his term of office.

"The Night Side of New York: Its
Temptations and Sins" was the SUBJECT
of the Rev. Matthew Henry Pogsoh s
sermon recently in the Sixteenth street

his text a portion of the eleventh verse
of the ninth chapter of Acts: "And the
Lord said unto him, Arise and 60 INTO
the street which is called Straight"
In beginning his sermon he said: NE
doubt | shall be severely criticised for
what I am about to say by many here
tonight, but all l ask Of them is that
before criticising they study and pray
over the matter as hard and as long as
l have"
In speaking of the tenement houses
in the lower part of the city he said:
Here even the cats appear wheezy
and asthmatic, and the very rats are
dying of consumption.
Here is Matched disease and black

Death with one whisk of his broom

A FAMOUS CHAIR.


ISpdAn Letter ~ ti'S fhSoAol
We returned by the Donchery road,
and walking along at random oun
ourselves in front of the house where
NAPOLEON Ill and Bismarck held their
interview Oil the morning OF Sept. 2.
This house, generally known as the
Viewers dwelling, though nooody
knows why, is the property OF Two
brothers named Fournaise, VINO are not
and v were weavers. 1t will be for
all future time a historic spot; hence,
the weaver legend should be dissipated.
The room in which these two amous
met is at present a point OF
pilgrimage for tourists Of all countries;
and there is not an excnrsionst VINO
does not seat himself proudly on the
chair which the French Emperor ana
the German Chancellor used. 1t is al
most needless to add that the CHAIR
manufacturing industry is in full pros
perity in the vicinity, and thai the
business is brisk In supplying "tne
identical chair on which Napoleon and
Bismarck sat" to foreigners, especially
as every English tourist insists on buy
ing the relic and carrying it away with
him. The thousands of this chair Will
soon be as numerous AS Voltalre's
walking-stick or the famOus nail in the
wall of the Waterloo tavern-keeper, on
which Napoleon l hung his hat, n
which the old auberglste presented to
every English visitor.
