RllIy NIndden nnd His PInv.

Billy Madden, the ex-pugilist, who has
written play which will shortly be pre-
sented in this city, says that he is making
more money with 1t than he ever made
with Sullivan or Kilrain, and he likes his
new life better, Pnze-fghters are good
enough fellows in their way he said, but
they generally want all the money that is
made, and that hardly suited him. As
Dempsey is his biggest card, he gives him
half the profits, which have been pretty
large so far, He will not agree with
Dempsey in thinking that Kilrain is sec.
ond to Sullivan. Kilrain he believes to
be just as good as Sullivan, and some day
ii will be proved There is no doubt in
his mind that the late match in France,
having been on the dead square, but he
was awfully put out that Fox did not in

not ghost of show to win. 1t was

oped into insanity, and he nearly
murdered two of his wife's cousins,

prison and fined 81 900. He after
wards went to Texas, where he was

William s. Ramsey of Carlisle, Pa,

Congressman Felix G.. Mcconnell

WILL THE WORLD END SOON {?
Curious Ceremonies Among the Second
AdNentists of Michigan.
The coming King Is at the door
Who once the cross for sinners bore;
But now the righteous ones alone
lie comes to gather home.
At the door, at the door;
He is coming, he Is coming;
He Is even at the door.

But now the righteous ones alone
He comes to gather home.
At the door, at the door;
He is coming, he Is coming;
He Is even at the door.
An Adventist hymn rolled, Satur-
day evening, over the quiet snow. 1t
was New Years eve in Battle Creek,
Mich. Four hundred students, youths
and maidens, were singing in the col
lege, and the wind carried through
the hushed town the tidings that
Christ was even at the door.
Rumor has long maintained that
1883 was for Adventists the year of
doom. Common fame has pictured
them as selling their jewelry, their
houses, their worldly goods. Trades
men in Battle Creek have sent in
their bills precipitately. Friends have
written them fearful farewell. All
was ready for the ascension.
Elder Uriah Smith, editor of the
Adrent Rerieao, is the mouthpiece of
the denomination in Battle Creek.
He is man of so, tall, erect, with
frank face and smile, and very hos
pitable manners,
"Do we believe that the world will
soon come to an end? Yes, sir, that
is our belief"
"Do you think that it will end in

"How were the Adventists affected

"They were much disappointed"

And over the snow to the printing
establishment where Elder Smith sat
among his books was borne this hymn
from the college:

THE WIND.

Thou mighty wind, thy changeful voice
Is ringing loud and wild and high;
The rushing clou is in thee rejoice
With all their darkened majesty.
What strength can stem that blast Of thine!
The tree OF pride is fallen low;
The ships have vanished from the brine,
The fading Isles are full OF woe.
Now are thy loudest pBans forth;
Thou dearest IN thy wild career
crash like ice-hills OF the north,
moan like forest voices drear.
Yet sometimes. even in thy wrath,
That voice of dread seems low and faint;
The dead leaves rustic in thy path,
The long grass signs its oldcn plant
Thy strong hand sweeps the hidden chord,
That thrill in fancy's realm of thought;
Could but know thy mystic words.
With wonders of far regions fraught-
What sounds OF dread would st thou unfold
Horrors that well-Eigh shake the brave,
As thy wild requ EN- shrieked and rolled
Around the wanderers OF the wave.
What tales OF joy would charm mine ear,
OF leafy bowers whore lovers met,
Stirring the leaves with bright dews wet.
Tales OF the gorgeous Indian lands,
OF Egypt's blue AMI c,oudleSs skies;
or Bedouns with their steeds and sands;
How fair Idumea's palms arise.
From Trans gardens, old and rare,
The signs OF rose hast thou borne,
Exhaled from beds of flowers as fair
AS those that light the fields of morn.
Aye, every cline and every shore,
From trophic plain to polar sea,
The painless wood, the mountain boar
All have messenger in thee.
Roll on thy peal OF grandeur still,
Sigh where the Arctic shadow lowers:
Breathe the old Runes on Norseland hill,
And fan the isles OF spice and flowers.
Mighty and glorious as thou art.
All earthly space by thee is trod;
Thou roamest yon Heaven, and to mans
heart
BrinSest back a whisper OF his God.
