grew weaker. The little cottage they had
taken at Jacksonville finally began to lack
necessary comforts. A small negro servant had
to be discharged because she could no longer be
paid. Then the despairing young wife took
her bed and rapidly grew worse. One good
lady assumed that death was inevitable and
hoped only to make the end as painless as posi-
Bile. In her mission Of kindness she encounter

Preaching Under Difficulties.
TChamJers's s JoltruqI.1

IChdmbers' s J0urU0II
A curious case of the pursuit of preaching
under difficulties came under my notice. In a
country church in the remote districts of the
West of England swarm of bees had taken up
their quarters in the oaken woodwork at the
back of the pulpit, to the dismay aud discom-
fort Of the weekly occupant of that structure.
During the discharge of his peculiar function
he was not only annoyed with the busy sullen
roar of the hive, but his fear Of arousing their
anmosity by the loud challenge Of his tones,
or by the vibration Of the pulpit, was stimulated
by the light skirmishers which used TO come
out aud perform all sorts Of minatory manuvers
within measurable distance of his nose. The
annoyance at length became intoerable, and
orders were given to smoke out the bees. This
was efiectuaHy done; but unfortunately, the
clerk in smoking out the bees set fire to the
church, and it was burned to the ground.

One of the most successful books of the time
in the matter of large sales is THE Spy of the
Rebellion" by the late Allan Pinkerton, adver-
tised in another column. There are very few
books which will pay the expense of advertis-
ing, owing to the limited sale they meet, COM
pared with the cost of publication. "The Spy"
however has stood successfully this crucial
test and thousands of dollars have been in
vested in it in this one item. 1t is still inn
mensely popular and selling wherever pre-
sented with unexampled rapidity No one
person knew so much of the secret history OF
the war as Allan PinkertOn, the great detective
in whose hands President Lincoln placed the
all-important direction of operations under
taken to defeat the Vaccinations of the hidden
enemies who co-operated with the rebellion in
the rear. All this story is now fully told in

came in. The caller had secured almost every
book, pamphlet and bill which the Government
magnanimously prints and gives away But he
still hungered for more.
&" l am very anxious" said he, "to secure a
copy of the Constitution of the United States.
Could l enlist your help, Senator"
" Why, certainly; but it would be useless.
The effort will be futile"
" Indeed and why"
"Well, you see, there were so many demands
from people like yourself for copies of this good
work that the supply nearly ran out There
was only one copy left, and the President has
just sent that 10 the Pope"
