and followed this with an appeal for 1853
contributions of SO each.
The words were no sooner out Of the
pastors mouth than the people began
Hooking to the altar and putting their
names down for various amounts. Two
persons took ten subscriptions, giving $100
each, and others all the way from $40 to
$50. The. two secretaries, M. Circuit and
Prof Cotton, had all they could do to keep
account Of the subscriptions that were
pouring in. and within just twenty min
utes 8, $50 was promised. This was later
raised to over $500.
In not a single instance did Mr.. Ran
dali call for less than $40 amounts, as il
the usual necessity In raising large sums
by contribution. As soon as the money
can be collected the mortgage VIII be paid,
and the church will celebrate 1t enthusiasts

1t seems that Notwithstanding his plea

will change this to plea of guilty. 1t is
stated that there is no doubt of Cath

guilty was a temporary one entered for
the purpose of postponing his incarcera-

and If he had been sent to the prison It
would have been necessary to go to much
trouble to bring him back to testify at
the Mcmillan trial. and to avoid this the
not guilty plea was made.

arrangement every woman made
break for the dining room where She
was known to be. Alas, their worst
fears were realized and the unhappy
truth forced upon them; he, their for
mer gallant and ladies' man was hem
pecked. There was no doubt about It.
He sat at the head of the table looking
sheepish and subdued, and was seen
to gasp and grow pale when the
phalanx of women, the same women
whom but a few short weeks ago he
had entertained at his expense, filed
past his table One of them, bolder
than the rest, stopped to speak to him,
and was duly introduced to Her, but
after one stony glare She turned her
attention to the menu card and the
bold one retired, flushed, indignant and
defeated, and it did not take the board
ers long to discover what change had
come DER the spirit of his dream. He
now wore, in place OF the gay air which
had SO distinguished him, a sort of
apologetic manner, which the ladies
unanimously declared was distinctly
unbecoming.
OF course the men said: II told you
SOL" 1t was too good an opportunity
to be lost, but the women were not to
be deprived of their hero, and declared
they were sorry for him, and that they
knew all along that he was unhappy,
and that they had only, out of the good
ness of their hearts, tried to make him
have a few weeks of pleasure, and
when asked how they had discovered
that he was hen-pecked and miserable,

they knew it intuitively, whereupon the
men We're silent; there was nothing
more to be said
When woman shields herself behind
her intuitive powers a man instinct
lively feels that she is treading on
ground Of which he does not know the
lay. When a man reaches conclusion
he calls to his aid reason and logic;
when a woman reaches conclusion she
reaches out and jumps at it, and when
she is unable to explain the why and
the wherefore of her conclusion the
male biped Immediately says she is IL
logical. Illogical she may be, but in
nine cases out Of ten her conclusions are
correct; it's her keen, subtle instinct,
which the more practical brain of man
cannot understand which comes to her
aid. Personally I have great faith in
the intuitive powers Of my sex, and
faith, my friends, is good thing to
have. 1t is one of the cardinal virtues,
which in this rapid age of realism is
becoming old-fashioned. I say again,
it is a good thing to have faith-faith
in ones friends, faith in ones business
and faith in ones social relations. It's
true that faith is bound to receive many
a hard blow, but hold It to it and it
will make you happy, and happiness is
what we are all looking forward to at
the outset of this new year.

Gone the gilded galleries,

And the plalntive night-winds plead
For the memory of the Mede,
Sob for alien ears to heed,
Pilgrim train and caravan,
Round the walls of Hamadan.

With its pleasures and it's pains,
Save a couchant lion alone,
Mute memorial in stone

Wheels the world for good or ill.

Yet within the ancient place,
