THE OLD STORY.

He Had "A System" That Was Abso-
luteIy Infallible.
Walking down the Strand the other
day | was attracted by crowd that
was collected round an omnibus. 1t
was the usual scene-a PROSTATE horse
with the conductor sitting on its head
and an officious policeman jotting
down voluminous notes, says Answers.
l was about to pass on when the face
OF the driver attracted my attention.
by jove! that man is uncommonly
like - ------, friend of my under
graduate days at Oxford, said to my
self, and as he at that moment took
OF his hat my impression was con-
tirmed beyond doubt. What re-
verse of fortune! Five years ago he
was quite the richest undergraduate at
Oxford, for, besides a very liberal al
lowance from his parents, he won
large sums on the turf. The persist
ence and regularity with which he won
was very marvellous, and he accounted
for it by saying that he gambled on
an infallible system, which he would
not diyulge. His unvarying success
produced a belief in lis young spirits
that he had successfully. solved the
problem which had been the ruin Of
so many people,. The. last time l saw
him he was driving his own coach;
FIVE years later met him driving an
omnibus. It was a sad sight, and
passed on for fear of his recognizing
me: / suppose the sequel IS plain
enough. The old story. Luck changed,
and, like all gamblers, he drifted ,on
to his beam-ends TRYING to retrieve his
reverses.

ST. Marks Church.

Thirty-five women, members of St.
,Mary's African Methodist church,
turned into the treasury of the church
yesterday $35, which they saved by
fasting. The money is to be used for
plastering the church building and
adding weatherboards.
The thirty-fve women agreed to fast
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but
only a few of them were able to go
through with the ordeal. The Others
lived on the barest necessities, and
were able to save in that way.

The following anecdote concerning
the famous ,scture on The Holy
Land" which, it is said, Ex-Governor
Oglesby never succeeded in delivering
as he prepared it. is related in Franc
3. Wilkes pamphlet on the life OF the
governor:
He had been invited to deliver this
lecture at a country town in Illinois
and accepted. \ large crowd gathered
to hear him, and he was greeted with
loud applause as he stepped forward
to lecture. He was only to speak for
one hour and said in beginning he
would preface his lecture with n few
remarks on his experience in Europe
At the end of 21H hours he was still
talking about Europe. and because the
people seemed so delighted he an
nounced that he would deliver the lee
ture the next evening.
The same people came back, re-en-
forced by many more. and at the end
of another two hours he stopped with
out having said anything about the
Holy Land. except TO announce that as
his subject The third night there was
n monster gathering. and Governor
Oglesby, after finishing up Europe,
started to say n few words about
Egypt and the Nile before beginning
his lecture. At last he looked at his
watch and, with a look of astonish-
ment. turned TO one OF his friends on
the platform and said:
well, here it is II O'Clock. and I'll
be hanged il I've got to the Holy Land

well.
I'VE had a nice trip across the sea.
We sailed through the Inland sea in
Japan, stopped at Nagaski Sept. 6,
and were compelled to anchor in III
fathoms of water on the Sth of Sep
TEN Der, as we were met by a typhoon
which delayed us % hours.
We passed the wreck of the L. S.
transport Morgan City in this sea.
She sank % days ago. Only her
masts and smokestack were left above
the water to be seen.
Boys are all feeling well, but some
are pretty thin.
