The young people, and occasionally hoary sinner, went to the mourners' bench and were duly converted" Then the community rested from disturbing questions of faith till the Baptist "reyival" came and the Elder insisted on the neces- sity of immersion.
 "Yes, sir" the prominent citizen of the community used to say when a stranger came along, "I can still catch 'possums half a mile from the sta- tion, and there's good fox-hunting yet" There was shanty down the road that was used for school house. A young woman taught a dozen chil- dren for one dollar month each till she was married. Then there was no school for two years. For a genera tion or two 1t had an intermittent life. A public school was kept for the very poor in a hut mile away ip the woods, for about six weeks a year. Life ran easy and life ran slow. Poli- tics and religion, the crops and the promise of peaches, watermelon stories, and sometimes "reminiscences of the war were the staples of conver- sation.

 MT. Russell always confined himself to parts requiring the exhibition of sim plicity and gentleness. and his apparently natural quaintness was in reality the re- suit of an extremely artistic and finished method of acting. He confined himself altogether to plays that suited his very narrow style, and always had them writ ten to suit his talents. Although he was never popular in New York MT.

cURBINe YOUNG VANDERBILT.

cUR6ING YOUNG VANDERBILT. New York-The Journal says:
 As result of the publicity which has been given recently to the affairs of Regi- nald Vanderbilt. and particularly his losses at Canheld's gambling house, a family conference has been held to devise ways of curbing the youthful spirits of the young millionaire.
 MT. Vanderbilt's loss at Garfield repre- sents a total of $221, 1,OOO all of which has been lost since he has come in posses sion of his fortune. a few months ago.
 While the squandering of nearly a quar- ter of million of dollars at a gaming table in so short a time Is not apt to bring financial ruin upon the young man, 1t was regarded by his family, when they got an accurate statement of his losses as serious enough for them to summon him to a conference.
 A direct result of the conference was the extraction of a promise from the young man to give Canfields, and other gambling places a wide berth in the future.
 It is understood that MT. Vanderbilt readily gave the promise.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Some girls would know their blond hair by any other color.
 Some people are so slow they can't even compete with dead men.
 The marriage habit Is easier for a man to break himself of than for a woman.
 It Is easier for a woman to stay young after forty than to make other people believe she is.
 Some women are so fair-minded that when they know they were in the wrong they will accept an apology from you for it.
