The Gossiper.

La Sale girls are having tusslc
Twixt the hat and the hustle;
You can't tell which'll get the higher
The hustle of Jane or the hat of Marian.
Tie oil man is looking glum,
And every day he's GUNNER;
His wife and daughters want to know
Where they're going to spend the summer.
Last night saw her at the ball,
"In beauty's circle proudly gay"
A stately figure, fair and tall,
She was the belle, | heard them say.
| see her as today she stands
The fresh breeze blowing from the south
A pillow case is in her hands
And several clothes pins in her mouth.
And she's as fair to me to-day,
As winsomc, beautiful, and bright,
As when, among the dancers gay,
saw her at the ball last night.
Wednesday last the new postal law went
into effect, and now for two cents spoony
youths and love stricken maidens can for
ward to each other twice the amount of
distilled sweetness The law will benefit
this class of people to the extent of millions
of dollars during the cooling period.

Some newspapers of influence are advC-
eating physical exercises for girls and the
more ultra of these journals believe that
girls should enjoy the same privileges and
advantages to build up bone and tissue that
boys now delight in, such as base ball, foot
ball, etc. This is thought to be the proper
caper for girls to obtain physical beauty of
form. In the abstract this might appear
all right, but then 1t would not be pleas
ing fancy to picture ones future wife down
by the river bank playing boulder off,
and skinny on your own side" That might
be pstheticism, but it is totally at variance
with that etherialism which is supposed to
surround the blushing maiden of ones fan
cy. Now, girls were not created to fly
kites, climb poles, stand on their heads, or
play leap frog" A more refined quality
of pleasure such as gadding about and
chewing gum has been allotted them by a
wise Providence. The sight of young
girl, bordering on her first pulsations of
love, In the act of throwing ball TO sec
ond to make double play, will convince
any reasonable being that she is off her
base, and entirely out of her sphere. Girls
are In their proper place when they make
themselves look charmingly, chatter anna
bly,, chew gum, talk of the fashions, ilirt
within some degree of caution, dress ac-
cording to harmony OF color and always
appear bright, beautiful and bewitching.
They will find some exercise in this.

A PLEA FOR THE AeSeNTEeS.
Some Salty Remarks Why People Dom
Go to Church.

Some Salty Remarks Why People Don't
Go to Church.
Boston, Sept. 30. Rev. Mark Trafton,
Methodist Clergyman of this city, at meet
ing of preachers discusssi why people did
not so to church in the following lovely
style:
Let me start out now to go to church and
worsAip God. AT Isme Swe have had our
private devotion We come to the church
door-Tm saying what took place exactly
we see plenty OF seats vacank GSe ask one
of the young shipper er-snappsrs, win rosette
in his buttonhoie for a seatA He says,
You wait awhile ami I'll a see. BY
and-by when the bell steps tollrng
the man says: Il guess you can
find seat in the gallery" Ii the gallery
you 500 four young people laughing ami
talking. Suddenly the organ starts and
then suddenly the four grow solemn, jump
up and begin to squall. You cant:under-
stand word they say. They sing hymn
You never heard before and
nevor wish to hear again. You can't
sing with the N. Call that singing Gods
prsisel 1t is not only folly, but
its blaSphemy. You've no business to intro
ducs such trash as that and call it devotion.
Well, it is over. And then the man read
the Bible Ihere the ,psaker read in imita-
ton in quick, monotonus, low, and sing
song way a passage from the Scrip
iures.l Now, said to myself, what
fool you are to think that read
ing the Bible in that way has any other
effect than 10 create disgust. There is
way to read the Scriptures by which you
can fix the attention Of the people. Then
our hymns. We read them so carelessly
that the people dou't get tine sense of the
words. Then the prayer. In the old times
the minister used to pray, to suppli-
cate, to implora. just as if he eI-
| pscted something would come And some
| thing did come Now, this brother who
prayed delivered a homily, an address to
| the people, a strained effort 1t wasn't
praying. l confess it didn't touch me at
| all. kept saving to myself, 70. nonsensep
| "Fiddlesticks" | say this ought
not to be. We ought not TO go
away disgusted, as do. No, l won't say
| that; | ought not tn. There is too much
| caste in our churches What We want is
the real. nld-fashioned socia bility. That
will reach the people.

recent manifesto of Manager Galloway,
of the Union Pacific, has been received at

ances existing at Rock Springs, and added
10 them instead of trying to redress
them The knights emphatcally ex-

Four Negroes Lynehed.

RALEIGH, n c., Sept 3d. Monday night
four negroes, Jerry Ltch. his wife, Lee Ty
sou and John Pattishill We're lynched one
mile from Pittsboro. Chatham county. They
were taken from jail, and their bodies were
found, Tuesday morning, suspsnied to
tree near the public road. This is the
terrible sequel to the triple murder
of k.the Finch family on the night
of the 4th of last July, and
of the murder of the Gunter family near
the same spot some eighteen months ago.
There were two of the Finch family-Ed p
ward aged ~, and his sister, aged 81. They
were found on the morning OF Sunday, July
s, lying on the floor with their throats cut
Near them lay their servant. negro boy
aged l6 All had been knocked in the head
with an ak. The alleged murderers had
not had their trial but suspicion pointed
strongly to their guilt
