to be to rob the Atlantic Coast line of us

When the double daily service begins on
this road, the trains will be run through

from his former bookishness, confln-
ing himself to reading the Bible and
other known good books of divinity
which were profitable to his SOUL.
Listen to this Messrs. Crawford and
YOU uncanny shades of Fi.Zgcral, De
Quincy and Poe. If the mild horrors
of seventeenth century tale were
Judged the inventions of the devil,
what is the source Of your grisly reVe-
lations?
The second story which DR.. IllS-
einson tells in all seriousness would
be worthy Of place in the ranks OF
those innumerable folk lore stories OF
bargains vita the devil, if the eXpla-
nations were not so patent to all cX-
cept sage doctors of divinity two cen
turies ago. 1t seems that somewhere
in Essex, England, young man
agreed with the devil to preach abso-
| lutte atheism, that there was neither
God, devil, heaven nor hell. In cN-
change for this service he was to attain
worldly distinction and great reputa-
ton for wisdom. All at first went
swimmingly with this seventeenth
century Bob Ingersoll until the ap-
proach of death. Then he straight
way avowed his belief, not only in
prradise, but in punishment, and died
miserably III instant cxpection that a
legion of tiendS would carry him, a
second or rather a foreshadowed Don
Giovanni, to the sulphurous pit.
The same DR.. Moodey mentioned
above can not let the birth Of al un-
fortunate monslrosity occur without
finding in it something of witchcrait,
and he gravely writes to Boston III
September, 1888, a, minute deScrip-
ton of poor distorted infant that was
brought forth by an Indian woman, as
a terrible warning of things present
and to come. He concludes: 'Doubt-
less YOU have hearn how matters are
with us, | beg your prayers" Poor
man, he needed them not only for his
credulisv but for his misfortuncs, for
he was shortly after imprisoned by
Cranheld sfor administering the sac
raments contrary to the laws and stat
utes Of England"
These extraordinary statements
were sent to Dr. Mather, as he was
at that time compiling a volume, or
rather volumes, called Remarkable
Providences," which he published in
1851. These unceuth and garbled
tales were accepted as absolutely COR
rect, not only by superstitious country
people, but by the most learned
scholars in America and England.
{, Such contemporary letters speak, as
ne other testimony can, of the horri-
bly, darkened condition Of the human
intellect, even in the days when France
was approaching her zenith under
Louis NV, and England was prepar,
ing for that glorious revolution which
was to etfacc the name of Stuart from
the list of European dynasticS, and
give England not only genuine free
dom but genuine king.

Origin OF the Word "Boodie."

The origin Of the word DOODLE" which
has obtained such notoriety Gf late, is
giving risb TO a cnnsih hcrablc amount of dis
cussion, but there is little doubt that it is
simply q slang Western term, implying
money in bulk. The Chicago Ne.cs sus-
gests that it may be a corruption of ''bodlc,
4 small Scotch coin, ir value about one
third of penny In New England the
term ''bocdle" is in common use, signifying
the whole or all-the entirety of anything.

the connection between :!boodle' and the
Gothic 6otan, meaning plumber or profit.

4 New Revelation.

The Interior, published at Chicago, gives
the following description of the recent utter
ance of the Augusta General Assembly;
The Southern Presbyterian General AS
suinbly has given the scientific and religious
world definite information in regard to the
process by which God created man-an i'm.
portant matter of knowledge unknown to
mankind up to the moment when it was
revealed in the city of Augusta, State OF
Georgia, United States Of America, ammo
1856. The purpose of this revelation was,
as our correspondent shows, produce har'
mony and peace in the Southern Presbyte
rian Church. The scientific and religious
world have. however, just cause OF COM
plant for that, whereas the Augusta As,
sembly knew so much, ittold so little. In.
quirers after knowledge desire dctiniteness
and particularly. In these qualities We
We must say, with all Difference, that the
Southern Hardshell Baptist colorcd
preacher was the better revelato7. He an,
nounccd that DE Lawd made Adam outcn
oh dc dust ob de ycarth, and stood him up
agin dc fence to dry. 'llol on dar eX-
claimed a deacon from his pew, Who built
dat fen1e?: Notwithstanding the :crious
difficulty which so promptly met the fence
theory we regard it as, on the whole,
more explicit than the theory propoundcd,
in the interest of peace and harmony, by
the Southern Assembly,
SThc same Journal says respecting the hy'
pothcsis that the Augusta Assembly has
given peace 10 the Church:
Our Southern Presbyterian exchanges
arc congratulating their readers that now,
and al last, the question Of how Adam was
created will no longer tear up the ground
-on their NIouat Zion. Now that their AS
sembly has fully explained the process, if
any man shall say that the Assembly did
moi know, hc can be taken by his back col
lar with the ecclesiastical left hand, and
seized with the right hand BY the rudimen-
tary integument of any other part of his
garments which may seem best located for
lifting purposes, and tossed out of the semi
tropical sheep-fold." /"
