This morning about o'clock. some
one OF the various bells in this city
began to strike. Many light sleepat
laid upon their downy pillow and
counted the strokes. weary OF the bed
and anxtously longing for the first
break OF day. As the striker began
they counted one, two, three. four
live. then smile Of satisfaction caIne
over their countenances, but soon II
changed to ono of dlspleasure. On
went the strokes. Their thoughts
then were, perhaps it is 12 O'Clock any
way Constantly counting they wait
ed with great expectation for tbs
stroke after eleven; twelve came; they
felt satisfied
We'll, half the night Is gone" but
when it continued until twenty-foul
was struck, their minds were more
disturbed than ever. what time is

they got and looked upon the time
piece. When four O'Clock is shown
they are satisfied and turn over fol
nap, which they generally
got. Anyway that is the experience
of the writer. "

to their degradation in this world and
to their misery In the one to come. He
said Paul was a great sinner. but when

his labors at Ephesus. and his efforts
to Induce the people to accept Christ
as their Saviour, and live In accordance
with the divine commands.

Precipitate New Elections.
TRENTON, Nov. 11.-Prominent lawyers
in the state of both political parties are
seriously discussing the decision of Judge
Depue that the gerrymander law under
which assemblymen were elected in dis.
tricts, instead Of in counties, was uncon.
stitutional. Some of the politicians
thought that this decision would make in.
valid the election of certain assemblymen
last Tuesday.
Several lawyers who stand high at the
New Jersey bar have expressed the opin.
ion that Judge Depue's decision will have
no effect on Tuesdays election. Certain
Democratic leaders are trying to induce
Governor Werts to order a new election
under the provision of the law authoriz.
ing him to order an election in case of q
vacancy in the assembly. Governor Wert7
has showed no inclination to take such a
step, and his most intimate friends say
that he is not likely to do so, as 1t would
only further complicate the situation.
