AND now comes a circuit Judge who
decides that the law against the sale of
liquor on Sunday is unconstitutional.
Judge Bishop rendered such decision
at Psducah and the bar rooms are being
run wide open on the Lords day. If
the law closing up those shops is really
unconstitutional, the people can not take
steps too soon to make il constitutional.

The OH Brick Church.

The well-knOwn sexton OF the
Methodist Church in Nashville
hands rs us the following lines which
he composed in the old brick, on a
recent Sabbath, while waiting for the
congregation to assemble" We
have seen less meritorions produc-
tons III print;
am waiting in the old brick church
This cold and wintry day;
Waiting tor the coming crowd
That here unite to pray.
While lightly OH the earth without
The feathry snowflake falls,
There still is. warmth and comfort here
Within these ancient walls
The broken ceiling overhead
Which oft bestrews the floor,
Reminds one of the silent dead
Who worshipped here OF yore.
The gospel truths have here been read
And preached by many score:
And many voice has here been heard
Now heard Oh earth nv more
Oft has been heard within these walls
The pentential prayer,
And the glad shout of newborn souls
That found their SAVIOR there.
While many soul here has found
The way of life and peace
Has reached that bright and happy lane
Where all our sorrows cease:
AOd some who found the Lying way
Are vi their Journey still,
Marching along the narrow road
That eads up lions Hill.
Alas shat some who sought for grace
Aud felt the heavenly flame.
Have ciue,ted the Lord afresh
And put his cause to shame.
Here have tried. with trembling step
To walk the narrow way.
But must confess with much regret
Have often gone astray;
And when | To- k upon the past,
My sins and foiIieS set,
| think how very merciiul
The Lord has bee II TO me.
But us on eartb all things must end,
However, bright and fair,
So this old church will ere long b.
Among the things that We're.
We still meet TO worship here
A very little while.
Then pass we 10 another church
OF new aud nobler sty lie.
With lofty tC wer and turTets grand,
With high and arching door,
With stained glass and frescoed walls
And sarpeton the floor

Will DER these beauties range
Well think them fine. hut will our hearts
Be bettered by the change?

ARMES DIVORCE SUIT.
The Husband Can't Be Found by the
Court Officers.

There is more trouble ahead in the Armes
divorce suit. As Major A rnies failed to pay
his wife the fees for counsel, as ordered
by the court, an order was issued by Judge
Cox September 1 that he should show
cause by the 18th instant why he should
not be tried for contempt of court. The
order read. provided it was served by
the 18th of the month"
The latest information today was that
the Officers OF the nIarshal's office ha We
failed to find the NJ jOr. A return to that
effect will be made today to the court.
In all probability nothing will be done
until tomorrow. when the order will become
returnable. AT the same time another
order is hanging over Major Arnles, also
returnable tomorrow, Judge Cox having
given the husband until that time to pay
over the 500 counsel fee as previously
directed.
Both orders will likely come up at the
same time, and unless the money is forth
coming more trouble is expected, possibly
another warrant for his arrest on a charge
of cont teniptuf court. Meanwhile the taking
Of testimony in the case goes on.
