Knew a Thing or Two

There was an amateur theatrical per-
Torrance given by the young colored men
of the Blue Light Austin Tabernacle. The
price of the reserved seats in the dress.
circle was put at a dollar, and consequently
few of them were taken. Just before the
performance began the attention of Parson
Whangdoodle Baxter, who was running the
circus, was called to the fact that jim
Webster, the only man in the the dress
circle, was occupying one of the seats with
his hoofs on another.
"Jeems, whar's yer ticket for dis re.
sarved seat in de dress-circle ?" asked Par
son Baxter.
Hain't got none," responded Jim Web

in de dress circle? Is yer trying to beat

SUNDAY EASY CHAIR.
For the REcoRp-UNIoN.l
WHERE Is YOUR FAITH?

WHERE is YOUR FAITH?
On Galilee's sea there ragged storm
That to fury had dashed the deep.
A Quaking fear had seized each form
Save the Masters, who lay asleep
In a boat that was tossing here and there
The sport of wind and wave.
And true it was that no earthly care
This boat and its crew could save.
With trust in his Father the Master he slept
While the storm did so tiercely sweep,
And his trembling disciples timidly crept
10 waken his peaceful sleep.
For the Faith in a Fathers tender care
That Jesus so patiently taught,
The wind and the dashing wave did tear
And blot from their wavering thought,
"Oh Master we PERISH this their tale,
That above the storm was heard.
And the Master rose at this pitiful wall
And Gained the sea with his Word.
He turned to the crew of covering men,
And gazed with sorrowful mien,
sob where is your faith" he questioned ther
While his grief or their lack was seen.
"Ah where was their faith - we question too
And where is ours as well?
Shall the answer be the deeds we do?
Who, Oh who can ,ell?
Was their faith in God, Omnipotent Love,
The All presence our Savior taught?
The Invisible Power that comes from above
In which each work may be wrought?
Or was it to force of relentless wave
Their faith was so freely given?
That promise of certain destruction gave
But no hint of rest or heaven.
Let us heed with care the tale we've heard
OF the storm on Galilee.
Have faith in God that by his Word
We may quell our stormy sea.

As friend after friend leaves this world
by death, and passes into the eternal state,
till all or nearly all Of ones dearest earthly
friends have gone to the other side, the
survivors, thoughts naturally turn to the
state whittier they have gone. The great
future increases, and the present and tran
scient scene lessons in their relative at
fractions. These absent ones may well be
objects of his thought, as he pursues the
remaining journey of life without them.

A NOVEL, CAPTURE OF BURGLARS.
Onicers Find Them at the Top of a sixty
five Foot Scaffold.


A very novel capture of burglars was
made early Wednesday morning by the
New York police. About half past one
o'clock they were seen to enter the Gottys-
burg cyclorama building and the alarm
was given. The police surrounded the
building and some went inside, where for
some time they searched in vain for the
burglars, who had hauled away the box
Office safe that contained 81, 500.
The police were about to give up the
hu mt when they heard a noise on the top
of the scatfold to which the canvas il at
tached, and which is 65 feet high. Rounds
man Quigley decided that the thieves had
climbed to the top, but as the officers had
only two dim lanterns they could not see
more than few feet upward. The rounds
man and Officer Boyle finally decided to
ascend the scaffold-a difficult and danger
ous task-and. taking one of the lanterns,
|up they went. When they reached
the top they began going round the build
ing astraddle of the scatiold, Boyle holding
the lantern and Quigley revolver in hand.
After going around the immense circle
nearly three times the officers came upon
two burglars and at the muzzle of his re-
volver Quigley compelled them to surren
der and climb down the scaflold, where
|they were received at the bottom by the
|othcr policemen. The burglars carried re-
|volvers, but did not dare use them.
