A pretty member Of one of the best

Eva Eastcrlin was the name of the
unfortunate girl. Jim Courtney being
her husband. The couple went to the

from the local paper. The Spokesman,
containing an account of the fatal ac-
cident by which Joseph c. Bates, a ma

this we take the following extracts:

play with his little grandson. Joseph c.

preached in the Reform Presbyterian
church by Rev. Smiley. and the body
was inferred by the side of his first wife
in Caledonia cemetery.
The suppostion is that Mr.. Bates saw
the train approaching but miscalcuIated
the distance and the speed and did not
have any doubt but what he was safe.
The deceased had been a resident of
Ava many years and at the time of his
death was ~ years old; until late years
he followed the blacksmith trade. He
was the father of several children. three
of whom are still living. viz: Hugh and

In one of the cities that lie upon the
banks of the Kennebec river. not long
ago there was a medical man visiting.
OF course there is nothing queer about
the fact that he was in the city but it
vas the reason why he was thee that
created the story. He was visiting
one of the fairest maids of that town,
whom he had met at his own home.
and with N'lom he had fallen deeply in
love. Neither is there anything SO
very cdd about that either. all young
men under similar circumstances are
likely to meet with similar fate, but
it was what followed from his beiES so
deeply in love- that caused him 50
much discontinue. He was invited by
his intended to come to her home and
rartake of a o'clock tea, with others
of her friends AS the appointed hour
drew near the young lady went to a
neighbors house for a short time. leav-
ing one of her lady friends to welcome
her Nj. D., when he arrived. Now the
friend is much taller and Stoutar than
the young lady, and no one could mis-
take them, but when the loor bell an
nounced the arrival of the doctor, md

supposing that his young lady was to
meet him as usual. did no. notice in
the dim light the difference, and he
greeted her by ardently pressing both
her hands and saying: "Ah, my little
pink, you are just as sweet as"-here
a suppressed laugh from the pink
stopped him, and he nearly evaporated
in his surprise. What else he would
have said or done will never be known,
not even by himself, if the lady had not
so quickly betrayed her identity Or
course the lady could not keep the
event to herself, and in spite of his en-
treaties she told it over and over again
to their friends until the mortified
doctor was ready to sink with embar-
rassment, and it is safe to assume that
in the future he will take a good look
at the pink before he tells her how
sweet she is. In the meanwhile the
lady friend is attending to her crushed
hands which he so ardently pressed.

Special Gospel Services.

Dr. Smith Baker hits the nail on the
head when he speaks. One of his last
words bears directly upon the work
outlined in these meetings. He says:
service. Ministers cannot fill the
churches. There is not one minister IN
two hundred in the land who fills his
church. Now and then there is a
Beecher or a Brooks. There are not
ten churches in all New England which
have crowded. houses save upon special
occasions. The social and spiritual at
mosphere. of a congregation has more
to do with drawing the people to the
service than the eloquence of the pull
pit. Try the way OF each asking one,
and the masses will be reached and re-
forms will take care of themselves.
The church thus united in each ask
ing one would religiously revolutionize
the community. Ask ore to come to
Christ. The invitations from the pull
pit are at arms length. The honest
word of1he individual to the individual
