Gunpovder and Religion.
From a Paris Letter.

The firing of a small mortar by way CT
attracting congregation has been the
original expendient to which preacher
known as the Pere Joseph has had recourse
in his missions in the rural districts OF
France When he made his appearance al
village a certain quantity of powder
was burnt by way Of announcing his ar
rival, and If the people did not flock in
sufficient numbers to the place at which
he was to hold forth, the proceeding was
repeated until the air resounded with the
reports, as II a small army had taken UP
it's quarters in the locality. Unluckily, this
mode of operation was not devoid of dis
advantages. Accidents will happen In the
best regulated families, and the worthy
preacher and his mortar proved no excep-
ton to the rule. Four years ago the mortar
burst while Pere Joseph was visiting Py-
renean village, but neighboring rector
not only replaced it, but invested capital
in another for his own use. On This par
ticular occasion no injury had been done
to life or limb.
This, however, unfortunately was not the
case month or two ago, when the worthy
preacher started to convert the inhabitants
Of small town in the department Of the
Hautes Pyrenees. Here the mortar was in
great request, and the frequent report was
heard, probably for the reason that the cit
liens were more inclined to remain at home
than to listen to the ELOQUENT periods of
Pere Joseph. Be this as it may, the pow
der spoke nearly as often as the missionary
at the closing ceremony, that of the cree
ton of a cross in the local cemetery. On
that day youth of seventeen had been
intrusted with the duties of gunner, but
whether owing to his inexperience or to
the fact that the mortar was in a bad
condition, terrible explosion occurred, and

If the human heart be considered as a

spent by the muscles in breathing amounts
to about 81 foot-tons in "a hours. If these
figures, which are given in contemporary,
are correct, a few interesting, though other

be made. The power of operating the

and trade was thriving, notwithstanding
the dull times. But a mandate came that
fairly took the breath away from the VEN

building decided that the north side of the
street must not be blocked by the little

To win the longed-for prize

He did not advertise.
There was a love- once who died
Quite wretched, suppose,
Because all through his life he was
Too bashful to propose.
There was another man whose ways
His neighbors greatly panied,
Because he didn't know enough
