Ur. Halls Lectures.

Dr. Halls Lectures.
Or. William Edwin Hall OF New
York, whose fame as a lecturer had
preceded him, lectured in Temperance
Hall Friday of last week Eat IL a. m.
and again at p m. At II o'clock the
lecture was free and was delivered es-
pecially to the schools of the town
which had been given special invita-
ton. The schools were all out in
force and nearly filled the hall. The
subject of the lecture was, "What is a
MANI" From first to last the lecture
was both instructive and entertaining,
and all who attended felt sorry that
there we're not others to hear it. At
the close of the lecture Rev. Mr.. Vann
in behalf of the principals and teachers
of the female school thanked DR.. Hall
for the lecture, and Mr.. Wilson, one OF
the principals Of the male school, also
thanked him for his school and gave
assurance that the lecture was highly
appreciated.
At night DR.. Hall delivered a pay
lecture on Chow to get Married and
Stay So" A good audience greeted
him and the lecturer gave one-fOurth
of the proceeds to the Temperance As
ISOLATION. DR.. Halls reputation as q
great lecturer was fully sustained.
From first to last the lecture was pack
ed with the philosophy OF marriage and
glittered with golden nuggets OF truth
which furnished food for wholesome
thought for married and single alike
and especially old bachelors. All
through the lecture ran vein OF side
splitting humor, and at times the au-
dience was perceptibly "tired"-not as
audiences usually are under the dry
dust-slftings of popular lecturer
but actually tired from laughing at the
pointed, pungent wit which clinched
the truth of every proposition enuncia
ted
All told, Scotland Neck has rarely
enioved such treat OF heightened
moral teaching in witty lecture. The
audience felt we'll paid and the town
will welcome DR.. Hall again whenever
he feels disposed to come.

Brides on the east side like to look well
just the same as brides do the world over
But with them money is not to be squan-
dered. So they hire the dress-hire it at
the same place where CHIMNEY hired his
dress suit and Name her costume when
she went to the Jolly Seven's masquerade
ball as Mary, queen of Scots.
You can find such places in Second
street, There are about dozen wedding
dresses in each shop. Sometimes they are
used i'll stage wedding, but oftener in
real one, The rent runs from So to SO,
according to the magnificence of the gown.
They are beautiful creations-at least they
seem so to mere mainland are hand en-
broidered, with pearl fringes and lots of
lace.
They must be looked after and mended
every time they come back, just the same
as the masquerade costumes. The skirt
of wedding frock and the train stays
good quite awhile, but the bodice has to
be changed not because it is shabby, but
because it is out of date.
Costumers expect to make dress pay
for itself in about four usings, but of
course they make a poor mouth and say
wedding frocks lose money for them

The stones of Baalbek.

On the outskirts of the modern village
our attention is arrested by the quarries
whence the stones of Baalbek were hewn.
and which lie on the right hand Of the
road from Shtaura. In the midst of these
ouarres there lies one stone, hewn and
fashioned with exquisite accuracy, almost
severed from the solid rock and apparently
waiting to be carried away to its destined
place in the walls of the great PhRnican
Temple of Baal.
There it has remained in silent grandeur
for upward probably of 5000 years, sug-
costing to the thoughtful observer many
interesting and curious reflections. How
long was that stone in process of excava-
ton and fashioning? How many human
hands were employed upon the works
What implements were used for the gigan-
tic toll? How was it to have been removed
from the quarry to its appointed placer
How raised to It's position when once car
ried there? Why, after all the labor which
had been bestowed upon it, was it left at
last in the quarries? Could we discover
the answer to this last question we should
probably learn Of sSme great crisis in the
worlds history, some mighty incursion
some decisive battle, some irrevocable
overthrow of powerful nation, for it is
evident that the work was abandoned sud-
denly while yet remaining in an incom-
plete condition, and there is no explanation
so feasible or probable as that of conquest
by foreign foe.
But how shall we exhibit to the ordinary
reader the marvellous proportions of this
colossal stone? Roughly speaking, and in
round figures, we may say that it is 70 feet
long, IA feet broad and IA feet high Now
what does this mean? Imagine a room IA
feet square and feet high-a very fair
sized cottage room. Imagine house with
ten such rooms in it, five on the ground
floor in row ard five on the first floor
above. Imagine sais house to be one solid
block of stone-and we have the stone in
the Baalbek quarry! 1t has been COM
puted to weigh at least 800 tons, and a
further calculation has been made that it
would require 10000 strong men, pulling
their hardest in the same direction, to
move that stone quarter of an inch in an
hour.-Macmilan' Magazine.

MAKING AND PLANTING GRAPE
CUTTINGS,

Cut the grape vines in the autumn as
soon as they have dropped their leaves.
Make the cutting six or eight inches
long; if hort-jointed there may be
three or four eyes to a cutting; if long
jointed there will sometimes be two
eyes. Cut close below the lower eye
and slanting at right angles with the
bud, one-half inch above the upper bud i,
in like manner slanting, so that the
upper point is on the same side OF the
bud. Tie in punches from twenty-five
to one hundred, as the case may require,
label them and bury them in the ground
so that the upper end OF the bundle is
three inches underground. In the
spring, when the ground is fit to work
in, plant them at an angle OF forty-five
degrees with the top bud just even with
the surface of the ground, pressing the
ground firmly on the lower part OF the
cutting. Ii preferable, the cutting may
be planted at once where they are to
grow. Ii a large number are to be set,
put the rows four feet apart and the cut
tings two or three inches apart in the
rows,

The parish kirk of Driechton had been
rather unfortunate in it's ministers, two of
them having gone off in decline within a
twelvemonth of their appointment, and
now, after hearing number of candidates
for the vacancy, the members were looking
forward with keen interest to the meeting
at which the election of the new minister
was to take place. "Weel, Marget," asked
one female parishioner of another, as they
foregathered on the road one day, "wha
are you gaun to vote for?" Pm just
thinkin Pll vote for none o. them. Pm no
muckle o. a judge, an it'll be the safest
PLAN" was Marget's sagacious reply.

has the soundest lungs, an III no. bother
us wi deein again in hurry. "-Scottsh
