NECESSITY OF SALVATION.

Now Is the Time

Rev +. II. Farrand, of the Southside, Saws
Now Is the Time
Rev. F. r. Farrand, of the First Presby-
terlan Church, Southside, chose his text
for last evening from Mark viii, Sc: "What
shall It profit a man if he shall gain the
whole world and lose his soul" The minis
ter said:
''The value of the soul is Immortality.
1t Is yours to save. Now is the
opportunity to raise it to the high
est pinnacle of faith and hope,
or sink 1t TO the lowest depth in misery and
degradation. What are YOU doing to save
yourselves; are yOu satisfied? You know
and God knows just where you stand. Oh,
friends you have never felt the need of the
loving one. The affection of Jesus will ena-
bic you to be saved. Oh come with me to
that fountain of life. Now is-the accented
time Walk with me to the fold of God.
He that belieyeth not in the Lord will
suffer eternal punishment
elbow many are there whom you meet
every day who seem to have no ambition.
whose souls are lost in sight of God and
man, and to lose the soul is to lose your
being. You are lost forever

KILLED AT THE sToCKYARDs.
Drover Joseph W. Campbell Run Down by
Shifting Engine.


Shifting Engine.
Joseph W. Campbell, prominent stock
dealer of Glen Grove, Mercer county, was
killed by train at East Liberty stockyards al
$50 yesterday morning. The circumstances
were such that there will probably be some
difficulty in placing the responsibility.
Campbell, with J. G. Breunner and s. R.
Williamson, had brought number of cars
of stock down to the city. In the Allegheny
yards the train was cut. The drovers were
tranferred to the caboose and told
that their stock would follow.
When Torrens station wss reached the
conductor ordered the train to slow
up and told the men to Jump off, as the
train would not come to dead stop. Will
Hanson jumped first, and by taking big
leap escaped an engine that was backing up
alongside the train. No bell was being
rung and there were no lights, so that
Campbell, who Immediately followed, did
not know of the danger, and was instantly
killed. The Coroner made an examination,
and will hold an inquest to-day. Campbell
was "a years old, and was prominent
member of the Masonic fraternity, and was
also a member of the United Workmen.

A Juggfer's Trick.

The wonderful feats of East Indian
Juggfers have formed the theme of many
letter from travellers in the orient, but
none are more surprising than that for
which an old sea dog, now lying at the
water front, vouches. While he was an
officer on board the P. and o. steam
ships two natives came aboard at Mad
ras, he says. They were q juggler and
his assistant. After they had performed
number of minor. feats and gathered
quite a crowd around them they called
for a sack and piece of sailcloth.
These having been provided the chief
Juggier made small tentlike structure
with the canvas and some stools. He
then placed his assistant in the sack and
allowed sailor to tie the knot which
bound him a fast prisoner. This done,
the chief carried the sack into an open
space, warning the people to stand back
some distance, and then carried ON an
animated conversation with his assist
ant, whose replies could be distinctly
heard coming from the sack. Suddenly
the chief rushed forward, picked up the
sack and dumped it overheard, where,
to the horror Of the passengers and crew,
it sank out Of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the full
belief that he had murdered his compan-
ion, but the juggler only smiled, and
pointing to the canvas, asked that it be
raised. This was done, and the sup
posed drowned man was discovered
squatting ON the deck. So realistic had
been the throwing overheard. however,
that 1t was some time before the sur
prised passengers could realize murder
had not been committed.-New York
Evening Sun.

The Modern French Girl

There are no French grisettes nova
days. Tho sunny, trim little maid who
has done sueh admirable service in play
and romance has disappeared. The race
has given way TO another-one more
worldly wise, moro mercenary.
The grisstte had illusions. She be-
heved the student she loved would be a
great man some day. So she worked for
him, earned two or three dollars week
making artificial flowers, passementerie
or the like.
But the young person who has taken
the place of the grisette is of an alto
gether different clase-more modern,
more practical, less given TO illusions
and romance and with tolerahly we'll de
fined notions as TO tho value Of money.
Her IDEAS Of dress are always expressed
in tho very latest fashion She has per
feet taste IN the combination of oolors
and the arrangement Of drapery.
IL the conversation takes q personal
turn she viii let you know, with the
most charming amiabiity, that she Il
the daughter of oolonel-genarally a
colonel in retireanent-and that she has
been only short time out Of snch and
such convent, WHARF she was educated.
She Is almost always pretty, Of agree
able manners and rather Intelligent.
though she firmly believes that a man
with hunchback Is a sure sign of good
luck.-Lish Times.

The HERALD e0ngratulates the
signers of the protest against a reduc-
ton Of the liquor license upon the fact
that only one-half the reduction was
made that undoubtedly would have
been If no remonstrance had been filed.
In the report of the discussion on the
question .as published in this paper the
substance of the remarks of all who
participated in it are given in order
that our readers may note just the posi-
ton taken by each member, In carry
ing their resentment of the position
taken by the HERALD in the matter to
such a point as they did the saloon
men acted very chiidishiy. This paper
has not been used as me-
dunn for the indulgence of any per-
sonal warfare upon them. In all
that its columns have contained con-
corning the question at issue there has
not been line or word of personal
abuse. With only two of the men en-
gagged in the business here has the edi-
tor Of the HERALD anything more
than the slightest speaking acquaint-
ance. Some of them he does not even
know by sight OF the two particu-
larry referred TO he has known one Of
them for years-knew him when he
was engaged in the same business in
one of the toughest places in the entire
West, aid he willingly bears testimony
TO his honorable reputation as bust
ness man, to his kindly nature, public
spirit, gentlemanly bearing and cheer
full readiness at all times to help the
needy and assist any worthy cause.
His acquaintance with the other
covers much shorter period,
but 1t has been such as to reveal his
excellent traits of characteristics hon.
esty, generosity and progressive spirit,
which have made him deservedly pop
ular not only among the pioneers who
have been his neighbors here for many
years, but among the later corners who
have had business relations with him
either of public or private nature.
We do not believe that either of these
men considers the editor of the HERALD
"crank" on the temperance question
or the matter of the regulation of the
liquor traffic, and we believe that they
know that he would not be influenced
by mere personal considerations in a
controversy of this kind. The loss of
eight, or eighty, or eight hundred sub
scribers would not prevent the
HERALD from advocating what it be.

The sublimes. Poem of Antiquity.

The subiimest poem of antiquity is
impersonal, yet written in the Hebrew
tongue. The book of Job, the life
drama of the Man of W, towers with
no peak near it; its authorship lost, but
its fable associated in mind with the
post-Noachian age, the time when God
discoursed with men and the stars hung
low in the empyrean. 1t is both epic
and dramatic, yet embodies the whole
wisdom Of the patriarchal race Who
composed it? Who carved the Sphinx
or set the angles of the Pyramids? The
shadow of his name was taken lest he
should fall by pride, like Eblis. The
narrative prelude to Job has the direct
epic of simphcity-a Cyclopean porch
to the temple, but within are heaven,
the angels, the plumed lord of evfl be-
fore the throne of a judicial god. The
personages of the dialogue beyond are
firmly distinguished: EGphaz, Bildad,
Zophar, Elihu-to whom the inspiration
of the Almighty gave understanding
and the smitten protagonist himself,
majestic in ashes and desolation.
Each outyies the other in grandeur of
language, imagination, worship. Can
there be a height above these lofty ut
terances2 Yes; only in this poem has
God answered out of the whirlwind, his
voice made audible, as if an added range
of hearing for a space enabled us to COM
prehend the reverberations of super
human tone. 1 speak not now of the
motive, the inspiration of the symphonic
masterpiece; it is still mortal creation, |
though maintaining an impersonahty 80
absolute as TO confirm our sense of mys-
terry and awe-Edmund Clarence Sted-
man in Century.
