First and Second Methodist.

A young man had always accompanied his
parents 10 the First Methodist Church. One
Sunday morning his father was surprised
when, in reply to Are you ready, Johnr' the
will attend the Second Methodist this morn
ing" Upon this the old gentleman departed
for the First Methodist, in which sanctuary he
was a shining light and a great power around
the amen corner. The deacon, although a
Woodworking Christian, also believed in the
good things of mother earth, and had plen-
tifully supplied wine cellar, which las he
knew that the young were liable to be indis-
Greet he kept under lock and key. For several
weeks the deacon had noted the hollow sounds
in his wine casks, and he also noticed that his
son had taken great liking for the Second
Methodist Church. On the following Sunday
the deacon again asked his son to go to the
First Methodist but John replied that he had
already made arrangements to attend the Sec
ond Methodist The deacon quietly departed,
and John, with three companions, who had
been in waiting, went TO the cellar, where they
had been all along secretly INDUCING in the
deacons fine old wines. John few to the door
and tried to insert the key, but could not find
the keyhole. He struck a match and saw,
with surprise, that the keyhole had been
plugged and that a very strong, able-bodied
paddock had been attached to the door. As
the rays of light from the Pickering match re-
Elected against the door they all noticed some,
thing white, upon which was some charactere-
and, standing back, they could hardly bellows
their eyes as they read, In large letters, these
words: Second Methodist closed for re-

The Spanish Proverb.

All fine languages contain tsrse sx-
pressions, the essence OF the popular
thought, adopted to local habits and local
phenomena. The Spaniards were peo-
pie who lived by custom and carried
about with them the wisdom Of their an
cestors digested into aphorisms, which
were as lamps that lighted the road on
which their lives traversed. Dickens, by
the mere force Of his genius, has manu-
featured sayings Of this kind, which
have passed into universal use. The
Spanish writers found them ready made,
covering the whole range Of popular in
tellect. Lope de Vega Introduces hun
dred into the single comedy of Dorotea.
Sancho Panza Is a bundle OF proverbs,
which he lets fly as they rise to his lips,
in season and out. AS he says himself
they were the whole stock Of his mental
furniture.

From Mason.

Captain d. F. Hays, editor OF the
Mason News-Item, gave the LIGHT a
pleasant call to-day. Captain Hays re-
ports Mason on a boom, although money
is a little tight. Railroad talk is pre-
dominant, and the Masonites are snx-
ious to secure the Arkansas Pass road
connection, and have already held sew
eral meetings, at the latest Of which
$4,000 were pledged as bonus to the
company. The trade of Mason by natu'
raj right belongs to San Antonio, but
lately has been diverted toward Austin
and Galveston by the connection of the
Austin and Northwestern Railroad
Overtures are being made by another
railway company now to the citizens
and the general idea is that the first (,
come will be the first to be served.

BurninC of Herzog,s opera Heuse,

The calamity Of fire which yesterday
morning swept away Herzog' Opera House
has produced general sympathy throughout
this community. Last night, at a meeting
Of the Washington Lodge Of Elks, an ap.
propration of S25 was made as immediate
relief for the employees, and Mr.. Harrison,
member of the order and manager OF
"Ihe Silver King Company"-the last COM
pany performing at Her2og's-being pres
ent, gave his check of 500 for the same
purpose. We would suggest that our capi-
talists unite and rebuild an opera house on
the same site, still to be called "Ierzog's,"
as to the late proprietor, Mr.. Herzog, this
city is deeply indebted for very low-prlced,
popular, and excellent entertainments OF
the operate and dramatic class. Let this
new ediiiCe be devoted exclusively to such
smusements and designed and constructed
in the best possible manner.
Such all investment by gentlemen Of
means would, demonstrably, pay a salts
factory and even liberal interest, and the
welfare of Washington would be promoted.
