long his bank would stand run. We

'l4.) Then thin out his meetings.
My Brother Parsons says he can share
crust of bread with his poorest men,
ber, but an empty seat just chokes him.
So, stay away from all the meetings for
a month or two and victory will perch
upon your banner. Since you want to
hurry things, be sure to meet your
pastor with all your family on your way
to another church. Same, when you
return. Don't go any by-way. If he
doesn't see you he may think you are at
home ill and he will come to inquire
after you. That would embarrass you,
and your program is to get rid Of him
without any scenes.
eff you have no taste for another
church, you might arm yourself with
the Morning Herald and cigar and put
yourself where your minister's wife can
see you as she goes and comes from
church. She'll be sure to see you and
tell it to her husband.
"(5.) You can bother him more in
the church than out. How? =? Many
hows. Whisper is one. Turn the
leaves of your hymn book. Go to sleep
as soon as he announces the text. Wake
up; yawn look at your watch snap
it shut like pistol-shot. Vary these
exercises. Be sure to be in your place
when your pastor makes an exchange.
Give the other minister the closest at
tention. Thank him most unsparingly
for his charming discourse. 1t would
help matters to ask him for copy of it,
or say you must hear it again. See
that your pastors wife or his daughter
hears all this. You might also remark
in their presence that young SO-and-So
was in church to-day for the first time
in many weeks, and that So-and So said
he and many more young men would
come to church if that man were the
preacher
Thus it will go out, with little wise
talk, that your pastor can't draw the
young. You might take pains to get
the young folks to saying the same, and
suggest to some of the youthful leaders
in society to stay away for time, and
thus show your minister that he can't
draw the young. That will make him
sick at heart and lead him to seek an
other field the very thing you want.
.'(6). Some churches have voted their
naAAstsrs long vsoasson. at THE mn!
ister's charge, of course. This works
remarkably well with over-sensitive pas
tors. Somehow such men are prone to
conclude that their room is preferred to
their company, and act accordingly.
But you must know your man in this
case. He may be dull Of comprehen-
sion, and only think this your way of
showing your anxiety for bis health and
your general good love for him.

door OF worthy citizen, an act OF
consummate ingenuity and sublime
originality. Suddenly wild and un-
earthly yell ringing through the hushed
night, broke upon their ears. In
stantly the four students paused and
turned pale. In another moment they
saw q diabolical object moving rapidly
down the street towards them. The
young men shrank against the wall,
each endeavoring to get behind the
other, and reversing the proverb OF the
weakest going to the wall, for in their
struggle the ablest-bodied secured that
position, whilst the feeblest was the
most exposed, and served as screen
to the other three. The approaching
monster stood still for an instant, and
they were able to observe him by the
wan light of the crescent new moon,
and the Pickering oil lamp slung across
the head of the street. A fearful OBJ
ject! In their terror the screwdrivers
dropped from their fingers. The noise
attracted the creatures attention., and
it ran up the steps towards them,
calculating words in hoarse tone,
which they, in their alarm, were unable
to catch. Suffice it to say that the
sight of this monster coming within
arms length was too much for theil
courage. With q shrek they burs

loudly for help. The creature reached
the top; and clasped him round the
waist, whilst the hideous sn0ut was
poked close to his ear over his shoulder.
Both leaped together, and were brought
up with jerk. The rails were topped
with sharp dart-heads, and or OF these
caught in the hide, so that M. Quite
and his son were suspended from it in
mid air, the latter in the arms of his
father. Both cried together for assist
ance; the young man louder than ever
when he heard the sonorous bowls Of
his captor in his ear.
Lights appeared in the lower apart
ments at the back of the house. and
presently the garden door was opened
by troop of terrified male and female
servants, provided with blunderbusses,
swords, and pistols. In the rear ap-
peared Madame QUITE, half dressed, but
with her night-cap on her head. The
young man called to his mother, and
the moment she saw the hope of the
family dangling in the grasp OF the
monster, she tainted away again.
There was an old man, a servant OF
the house, who claimed and exercised
supreme authority in the household.
He came forward with a pistol in each
hand, and the youth cried out to him
to shoot the creature through the head.
In vain did M. QUITE shout to him to
desist His words were lost in the
mask, and he would undoubtedly have
received couple of bullets through
his head, had not the buttons Of the
dress Just then given way with burst
and slipped M. QUITE in q heap upon
the ground, leaving the habit torn and
dangling on the spike of the rails:
