Greek dramatists have been re-edlted, and
the wisest bishops and elders have often
recommended yonng preachers to practice
this very pious fraud. "A sermon of South
in curate's mouth" will scarcely raise
the eyebrows of an experienced or case
hardened country Clergyman.
1t may be permitted to add another to
the large stock of sermon stories, one
which has not hitherto found its way into
print, and which has the merit of being alb
solutely true. A young curate fresh from
Cambridge and from the hands of the
bishop found himself very comfortably
settled in "A midland parish, under rector
whose chief fault was an excess of naughty
self imitation. For some time he was not
allowed to preach, being expected to fetch
and carry in the parish for the rector's
wife, to exercise authority over the village
boys, and occasionally to take hand at
lawn tennis with the reetor's daughters
and their governess.
In an unguarded momentum various
unguarded moments-he and one of the
daughters fell in love with each other, and
by instinct this curate knew that if an
inkling of the truth should reach the rec
tors ears he would never be able to enter
Vic HOunG hShlus DuU luCklly but tilOUu6F
saw through the transparent couple, re-
solved that the match would "do," and
waited for an opportunity of promoting it.
A day came when the curate was asked
to preach in his rector's absence, and being
nervous, with only few hours to prepare
for the ordeal, he took down Il volume of
Barrow, selected text, and strung to-
gether a few sparkling beads on a slender
thread of commonplace. The sermon was
success in more senses than one. The old
people and the children went to sleep un-
der it, but it riveted the attention of the
intelligent adults, and especially of the
rector's family.
There is matter for novel in all that
took place as a result of the curate's lucky
stroke of plagiarism; but it must be dis
posed of in sentence or two. No one at
the rectory complimented him on his ser
mon, but outside he received a great deal
more praise than he cared for, because it
was evidently sarcastic and insincere. Next
morning he met his Lucy on the village
green, and, as she was downright young
person, the veil of mystery was torn away.
He was supposed to have filched an old
sermon of the rector's, to have covered it
with a thin disguise and passed it off as his
Ownl The rest may be imagined. Lucy
told her mother all that there was to tell;
the mother secured that volume of Barrow
and turned it to good account. Suffice it
to say that the rector and his curate under
stood each other better from that time for
ward, and that Miss Lucy, after fairly
long engagement, was eventually married
to the man of her choice.-London Illus

The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-fledged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting OF blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

Slang Was Offensive to Him.

The other day gentleman well known
in legal and literary circles in this city en-
gagged with me in discussion as to the
right which newspaper has to use slang
terms in its columns, he holding that no
reputable newspaper has any such right
There is no slang word or phrase which
cannot be supplanted to the good of all
concerned by pure, legitimate English" he
said, 'and for the benefit of our language
newspapers should avoid the use of slang"
Invain did try to show him how certain
standard phrases were originally slang
phrases, winning their present classical
position by pure force of their expression
values, for he would not be convinced
"Hang it, mani" he calculated, mo gen
tleman uses slang. Why should a news
paper circulating among gentlemen have
the privilege? Now, sir, your argument
won't wash" Then | called his attention
to the two expressions, Hang it!' and
won't wash. "-Detroit Free Press.

PULPIT COINClDENTS,
Curious Parallels Of Phrase and Idea
That Indicate Plagiarism.

mat Indicate IlhEtaflSm,
If there is anything which pleases the
average intelligent reader in the present
day better than the detection of u piece of
manifest and unblushing plagiarism, it is
an allegation of plagiarism which is not
quite manifest, and for which the author
would undoubtedly blush if he were proved
"a be nothing but jackdaw in borrowed
tunes. Perhaps it is sad that men and
women should be so readily pleased Mt the
caStgation of the detected plagiary but il
any one entertains doubt as to the eX-
istence of keen relish for literary expo
sures Of this kind he either does not look
at the journals, which have a particularly
keen scent for curious parallels of phrase
and ideas, or studies them to little pur-
pose.
For some time past there has been what
| should call, If were addicted to slang, a
boom in plagiarism, and connected with
one incident in this boom we have had a
run upon the family anecdotes Of sermons,
which have been made to do double and
treble duty. These anecdotes are nearly
all amusing and every parson could reel
off dozen Of them at one sitting. But,
my ingenious reader, we do not call this
sort of thing plagiarism-it is no more
than an ordinary coincidence of the pulpit.

have been rehearsed at least as often as the

A Strange Fire.

On the night of March 81, 1876, about
three hours after sunset, a monster bright
light arose out of the Adriatic sea and
passed from east northeast to the west of
southwest, crossing over Italy in a vertical
line about half way between Rimini and
Leghorn. Various estimates MS to the
height and size of the body were made.
One scientist, with amusing exactness de
clared that it was thirty eight miles high at
Calmers. At all places near it's course a
Kissing noise like that of a skyrocket was
plainly heard. At Leghorn the sound is
said to have been like that of large can
non, quickly dying away until it sounded
much like cart running over cobble
stones" Estimates of its size seem to
have been as wild as those respecting its
height. Some accounts say that it was as
Large as II house," lie Cat says that sit
was good half mile in circumference. I"
BONN, who has written a very readable &C
count of 1.-THE great meteor or strange fire
of March 81, MDCLXXVI," estimates that
it was "about one half mile by the smaller
diameter" which would surely make it a
terrifying object to behold.-St. Louis Re

Italians by the Thousands on Their Way
to America,
WASHINGTON, May 22-The United
States consul at Gibraltar has made re-
port to the state department in regard to
foreign immigration to the United States,
in which he says that noless than thirty
one foreign steamships have touched at
port during the last four months, carry
ing 20,055 Italian immigrants to the
United States, and that several other
steamships are expected to follow soon
from the same quarter with immigrants
in such numbers us to constitute regu-
lar exodus from the Italian kingdom.
The United States consul at Naples re-
ports to the state department under date
of April 81 that vast multitude of i'm
migrants are leaving that port for the
United States, every steamer sailing for
New York being filled to its utmost ca
pacity with Italians, principally from
the Provinces Avert, a very ignorant and
undesirable population. He says the
Neutlia, which sailed April %, carried
I ,055 immigrants the India which sail
ed the next day, carried $50, and that
the Belgrade, which sails ON the 30th,
will take over /. 400. Other steamers
equally heavy freighted with immi-
grants for the United States will also
sail shortly. The consul says he is in
formed that certain districts in Italy are
nearly depopulated of men, leaving the
work of cultivating the ground to be
done by women altogether.
