hurried out in the deepening autumnal
twilight to shut the barn door and to
bring in the continuing, as he

should think you and in this large
house would be like two cannon balls
rolling about in an empty barn"
''If he thinks the house is empty he
would better come in and go over it."
''Oh, empty of people he meant. Of
course heS knows you well enough to
be sure that the rooms are furnished
and in spiclz and span order"
well, there's only you and me, /
know, but / have always wanted a
large house and l have got it. You
have a great many relations, and it
gives any housekeeper a comfOrta BILE
feeling to know that a platoon of Wis
itors may come in upon her without
creating a feeling of dismay as to what
she is to do with them. Unless I am
greatly mistaken, you will find in less
than a month from now that our new
house is naae too large
"a month? Oh! that will bring
Thanksgiving. Who have you in
yited?"
Not anyone, but a large house
draws company; your friends have all
aostanding invitation and we are not
likely to be alone. Your brother Fran
els and his family will all come as
usual, as matter of course"
Thanksgiving always makes me
think OF Brother jude said the farm
.er, finishing the raised cake and Gus
tard, drinking his tea, folding his nap-
kin, and pushing back from the table.
He always from child thought so
much of Thanksgiving; if he ever
comes back home it will be at that
time"
You have great faith, James; Jude
has been away more than twenty years.
Do you think it possible that he can
be living?'
''More possible than to think he can
be dead. He was always so very much
alive, full of spring and dance and
fun and common sense, too. l have
expected him every Thanksgiving since
he went away, and 1 shall expect him
this year"
IF he thinks of coming I should
suppose he would write
''Oh, that would not be like Jude;
he would want to come right in as if
he had only been away over night
remember as if it were yesterday
when he went away. 1t was the
morning after Thanksgiving. I had
to go to town with load of corn and
started before daylight. As I was get
ting ready what was my aston iShment
to have Jude, dressed as he had set
out for the ball the night before, take
his place on the load beside me, for

The "Black Crook" was the magnet that
attracted an immense audience at the
Academy of Music last evening.
The cast is not the same that was
through here last season, but the changes
do not deteriorate from the effect of the
production.
Like all spectacular burlesques the go"
Of the piece depends mainly upon ballets,
choruses. music and acrobatic specialties
and gorgeous scenery.
With these elements the Black Crook
is replete i'm nearly every instance. New
ballets have been introduced. new songs
and old songs are sung, comedians who
are funny a times and then again are
not, are TO be heard and seen; ReXo and
Reno do a difficult and clever contortion
act; the BoweTy dance. which made such
a hit last season, is done equally as good
as then: dazzling drill by amazons. and
a may interchangement OF gorgeous
scenes, all combine 10 form spectacle
that uleases the eye and ear.
The ChOruscS are not quite proficient in
the art Of drilling-a deficiency that mars
the effect of several ballots aud marches
tina, would otherwise be artistic and gain
applause. A display of animation on e
part of the comedian who DOrtrays the
role Of Cereppo would also give more life
to his lines and the play.
The engagement closes with this after
moons matinee and the performance to-
night.

CHHISIIIk UnIIT,
Rev. DIR. Hatcher Believes the Christians
" Il Come TOgethnr.

At Grace-Street Baptist church Sun
dav night Rev Dr. Hatcher, the pastor,
preached on the subject Of christian
Unity" TO a large congregation. In his
introduction Or. Hatcher said he was one
OF a committee appointed by the South
ern Baptist Convention at the meeting
AT Forth Worth. Texas, to cooperate
with body OF Christian scholars named
bv the several Christian denominations
to consider the question OF what could
be done towards Chris tian unity. He
believed ferVently I'm Christian union
which was taught said he. by the Bible,
and which Christ himself prayed for,
ana he believed that the time would
come when the various Christian de
nominations would unite. When that
time would be he could not say. II
might be thirty years hence, or 1t might
be century ahead. Sooner or later.
however. it would come The various
Christian denominations were even now
making progress towards this result, ard
they were much nearer unity now than
they were twenty years ago.
one OF the saddest things in Gods
Church to-day. said he, was its d.
vision into sects. God intended that all
prayed for this unity. which vas sure
TO come some time in the future.
In discussing the means by which this
result was 10 be brought about, DR..
Hatcher said that 1t would not. be eff
tected 10y all the denominations deciting
TO unite with one church. giving up their
creeds and convictions for the sake of
unity. He did not believe In strangling
ones conscience or compromising ones
principles. In such an event there would
be difference and discord In the same
organization, and no settled, fixed be-
liet Nor would Christian unity result
from all churches settling upon one
creed, and form a new church in that
way. But the only way in which to
bring about Christian unity was 10 cui-
tivate Christian courtesy and brotherly
love, and for all the denominations TO
agree to be guided by the word or God
In its purity and simplicity. and hold TO
no religious views or creeds that were
not taught by the Bible. In this way
the different sects would get so close
together that unity would be an easy
matter.
In conclusion; DR.; Hatcher urge urged his his
TO cultivate q brotherly love and a
kindly courtesy towards Christians OF
all the denominations. and 10 remember
that. though they differed according to
conviction. they were all Gods children
working for the salvation Of sinners.
