HOME FROM CANADA:

Mr.. Thomas Johnson, formerly Of
this city, but now Of Montreal, Canada,
has returned to spend the holidays
with his mother and sister, Mrs. John
son and Mrs. Genie B. Williams, of
1904 McLemore street, and other
relatives. He relates that his stay in
the north country, to which the runa-
way slave once took the under
ground Railroad" as the destination
Of his freedom and the Mecca of his
hope, was very pleasant in every way.
Though there is a larger measure of
freedom in the truer sense Of
entrammeled manhood in Can
ada as compared with what is
in vogue in the land of my birth,
yet could not forget the more
~endearipg memories and associations
of my old home. The longing to revis-
it the scenes Of my earlier years." he
said, ''grew upon me so intensely
that I could not choose but come, and
here am enjoying myself immensely"

gave a number of r~eeitations. Several
wagons were kept busy during the
day hauling dinners to those who had
been given cards, but were unable to
attend on account of sickness or in
irmities. At the close of the meal all
that was left was distributed among
the three schools represented.
The poor people of this city are very
grateful to Mr. Polston for the gener-
Gus hospitality he has shown them
from time to time, and for the Christ
ms dinners he gives every year.
This is the first time the poor among
the Negroes have been included in his
Gift. It is believed that the fraternal
organizations of the city will catch
this spirit, and that next Christmas
every society in this city will make
gifts to the deserving poor women and
children.

Calling People to Church.

When l was examining the church
bells Of the East Riding of Yorkshire
some years ago I came to a little place
called Fordon. on the wolds between
Nation and Bridlington. 1t was a very
primitive place. quite cut of from the
world, the few inhabitants hardly
knowing the road over the hilltop to
the next place northward. The d.
minutive building which serves as a
church is built near the brow of the
hill. 1t has no tower, bell turret OF
bell cot. On inquiry found that 1t
had no bell. The parson came over
on horseback now anil then from q
neighboring parish. tied up his horse
outside the church. opened the door,
put on his surplice and then walked to
the top Of the hill and cracked his whip
several times. land then we knaws as
it's time ii gang ii chotch," said my
informant on the spot.-London Notes

Frightened the Bride to Death.

In the Church of CHRISTIAN at Pisek,
in Bohemia, marriage was about to
be solemnized between Anna Roslin,
aged nineteen, and a youth Of her
choice. Bride and bridegroom stood all
ready before the altar, where were
lighted tapers. Before the priest could
unite the bridal pair one of the tapers
became suddenly extinguished. A loud
shrek came from the bride, and she
gasped, "Meine kerze list erloschen!'
C'My taper is extinguished!) and sank
unconscious into the arms Of the bride
groom. Immediately all attention was
turned to the condition of the bride
Several attempts were made to revive
the poor girl, but in vain. The bride.
in her chaplet and VEIL died at the al.
tar rails. The superstition Of the VIII
lagos of the plain is that If a lighted
taper becomes extinsuished on either
side Of the altar the person standing
on that side of the altar where the light
went out will suffer dire calamity
