Two Singers.

One touched his facile Tyre to please the ear
And win the buzzing plaudits of the town,
And sang song that carroied loud and clear,
And gained at once Il blazing, brief renOwn.
Nor he, nor all that crowd behind, there saw
The ephemeral list of pleasant rhymers
dead
Their verse once deemed title without flaw
To fame whose phantom radiance long had
fled.
Another sang his soul out to the stars
And the deep hearts of men. The few who
passed
Heard a low, thoughtful strain behind the
bars,
AS of some captive in a prison cast.
And when that thrilling voice no more was
heard,
Him from his cell in funeral pomp they
bore;
Then all that he had sung and written stirred
The worlds great heart with thoughts un-
known before.

Crazed by Religion.

Matamoras, co. February 10
The neighborhood in the vicinity
of Wells Bottoms is in state of
excitement over a revival, that has
reached every family for miles
around. Last Friday night Chris
tian Dongel, German infitel OF
wealth and influence in the COM
munity, attended the church for
the first time He sat in the rear
and presented stocial indifference
until an invitation for the mourners
to come to the altar was given,
when, with loud cry for mercy,
he ran like one possed to the alter
and knelt down. The congrega-
ton was surprised into silence tor
moment. Then, comprehendlng
the situation, it broke into frenzy
Of shouting and yelling. Benches
were pulled up, men picked up
chairs and smashed them against
the walls, while crowds marched
up and down the allies singing and
shouting their in mad joy. A num-
ber of ladies' tainted, and one Miss
Lewis, went into trance, IN which
she vet lies. Her limbs are warm
and pliable her face presents
every appearance OF health. q
faint breath is perceptible, but all
efforts to arouse her have proved
unavalling.
Toward midnight Dongel pro.
fessed conversion. he sprang VI
suddenly, knocking the minister
violently against the pulpit, cutting
his head and face severely. Nc
heed was given to this and the
preacher, with the blooa stream
ing down his face, led procession
of men, who carried Dongel OF
their shoulders, followed by wo
men, waving hankerchiefs, up anf
down the aisle. All were shouting
at the top of their voices and th'
meeting continued until all wer'
exhausted.
