Trifiing with Sacred Things,

= once frightened 200 colored people almost to death. They were holding a protracted meeting in a little tumble down church near Nashville and the ex- citement ran high. I attended with some other bad boys, misbehaved and was fired out. I determined to break up the meeting. procured some phos- phorus, and the next night before the crowd assembled drew skeletons, deaths heads and devils all over the walls. I then concealed myself in the loft, armed with long hollow reed; while my com panions, provided with sheets and masks, hid themselves in the grove in which the church was situated. That night the church was packed and religious fervor reached its climax. The preacher was picturing the horrors of hell and the hideousness of it's master and the sin ners were shivering with apprehension. Two large lamps hung in the center of the low room furnished the light, and by the help of the hollow reed I blew them both out.
 The preacher stopped ill the middle Of his exhortation. The walls blazed forth with horrors traced in burning, snaky outlines. There was convulsive gasp, a scream from 200 throats and a stam- pede. The preacher went through a window, and, though rheumatic, out ran all his parishioners. Then my ghostly confederates appeared, uttering dismal groans. Scores of the terrified blacks, unable to run, lay down and groaned with an agony of fear. The .11x. 411
 heard of it. He was Presbyterian divine and did not believe in trifing with sacred things. It is said that he laughs best who laughs last, and the colored people came in on the subse- quent cachination. in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Twelve Girls Rescued.

STAMFORD, Aug. 31.-Policeman Theo- dore Delacroix saw huge sheet of flame shooting from the roof of the rear of the Stamford House. He rushed into the hotel and succeeded in arousing the sixty guests, who got out safely. It was more difficult to arouse the twelve girls who slept in the rear. The fremen battered in the win dows and groped their way through the binding smoke until every girl had been aroused and rescued. The fire was then ex- tinguished.

 THE INFINITE HELPER.
 Men think when they contend against an evil habit that they have to fight it all alone. No! They stand in the cen ter of an immense circle of sympathy. Paul had been reciting the names of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Joseph, Gideon and Barak, and then says, Being compassed about with 80 great cloud of witnesses"
 Before I get through I will show you that you fight in an arena around which circle, in galleries above each other, all the kindling eyes and all the sympa- thetic hearts of the ages; and at every victory gained there comes down the laundering applause of a great multi tude that no man can number. Being composed about with so great cloud of witnesses"
 On the first elevation of the ancient smphitheater, on the day of celebra- tion, sat Tiberius or Augustus, or the reigning king. So, in the great arena of spectators that watch our struggles, and in the first divine gallery, as shall call it, sits our King, one Jesus. On his head are many crowns! The Roman emperor got his place by cold blooded conquests; but our King hath come to his place by the broken hearts healed, and the tears wiped away, and the souls redeemed. The Roman emperor sat with folded arms indifferent as to whether the swordsman or the lion beat; but our Kings sympathies are all with us.
