IL A TIGHT PLACE AT l., on Sunday

goner and his son John drove the team into a

bath enjoying season of worship with the
good folks Of the village. When the time for
worship arrived, John was sent to watch the
team, while the WAGNER went in with the
crowd: The preacher had hardly announced
his subject, before the old man fell asleep. He
sat against the partition in the centre Of the

only by the very low partition, sat feshy la

able to control them any longer, she burst out
with loud scream, and shouted at the top OF

who thrast his arm around her waist and cried
very soOthingly


WO, Nance! wo, Nance Here. John,

1t was all the work Of a moment, but the

thread of his discourse, and the meeting came
prematurely to an end, while deeply mortified
the old man skuiked away determined not to
so to meeting again until he could manage to
keep his senses by remaining awake.

tering the business!


1t is very often the case that as paper pu-
rifles itself its circulation decreases, and when
it becomes positively religious it is very apt to
become bankrupt, useless some benevolent and
Christian men come up to sustain it by contri-
buttons OF money and means. Not more than
three or four religious papers in this country
are self-suppOrting. The reason Is, the country
cannot stand so much rctigtOH! Reduced to
great poverty of circulation, many of our reli-
glOuS papers are very meagre affairs not able
to employ able contributors, with their scissors
they clip nearly all their articles from other
periodicals. AS a necessary resort to save
themselves they often step aside from religious
news and advertise handsome cloths and pat
ent medicines, SO that the sheet protesting to
give us Sunday reading tells us of rare Oppor-
tunltles for bargains on Broadway or Market

RITUAIISM.-As the people OF America are
at present much Interested in the discussions
about lttualism in the Episcopal Church, in
formation of what is transpiring in England on
the same subject is of interest A committee
OF aymcn, to whom the subject was recently
referred by an English conference, have report
ed in favor of inviting the leading members
both lay and clerical, of the Church of Eng
land, without distinction Of party, to join in a
deputatlOn to the Prime Minister for the pur-
pose OF urging upon the Government the ne
cesSlty OF legislation for amending the Rubric
which immediately precedes the Order for
Morning Prayer, and also amending the Church
Discipline act, 50 as to facilitate the restraining
OF innovations. They further recommend that
the Premier should be requested to advise her
Majesty to issue 4 commission which shall in
qulre into the propriety of amending the Ru-
brlc complained Of, and of rendering the en-
torcement of Church discipline in such matters
prompt and Inexpensive In the event of fnon-
success in this application, they recommend
recourse to Parliament and an address from
each House to the Crown. Prosecutions of
Rituali>tS are deprecated and lastly, the COM
mlttee cannot to earnestly and emphatically
impress upon the Conference the Importance
of regarding and dealing with this question in
such a manner as to carry with them, in their
proposed solution Of the present difficulty, the
largest possible number of members of the

HEGUTrA- PERCuA TREE E-Sumatra large
island In the Indian Ocean, has large forests
Of the gutta- percha tree Clsonandra gutta.
'Gutta' is the native name for gum. ard
"percha' is the Malayan name of a forest tree.
The virtue and uses Of this tree have not been
long known to u.s. Previous TO 1914 its very
name had not been heard in England. About
that time an EngliSh physician was walking
through forest when he saw Il wooGman al
work. Observing that the handle OF his Ak was
of substance quite unknown to him, he in
quired what 1t was made of, and was told that
it was the juice Of a tree, which could be
moulded into any form BY merely dipping it in
hot water after which, when cold again, it be-
came quite hard. On examining the tree the
physician found the juice lying in straight
lines down the trunk. and that by cutting small
holes in the trunk, it freely flowed out, of a
whiiish color On hardening it became darker
in appearance. In the first instance about
two hundred weight were sent to England as
an experiment; its utility was soou discovered
and now several hundred tons are imported
every year.


Gutta percha is largely used for soles of shoes
piping, bottles, aud other purposes where dura-
bility is required 1t is also turned to account
Tor finer and more ornamental work, some IL
deed, of considerable beauty. But its highest
use is in the coating it forms to electric cables.
Little did the worthy physician imagine that in
short time it would be we'll known throughout
the land, and regarded as one Of the most valu-
able substances possessed by man. Besides the
juice, th tree yields pleasant fruit valuable
oil, and drug for the chemist Its flowers
are used by the natives OF the Indian peninsula
for food, and its wood is good timber.

We met o gentleman to-day seeking
his wife, who, it seems, was in this place
when last heard from, having come here
from an Eastern city. There is a strange
story connected Herewith, which the
gentleman has no objection to our
giving. aET


Eight years ago this gentleman. whom
we shall call Mr.. George -, left his
young wife with his mother, then resid-
ing in the city of D, and staeted
overland to California. While upon
this journey the party of which he was
a member was attacked by the Indians,
and he was carried into captivity.
He escaped from them about a
year afterward and reached San
Francisco in safety. During his stay
among the Indians he made considerable
money trading and otherwise, and upon
reaching San Francisco determined to
90 home, taking passage in steamer
for that purpose. Three days out the
steamer was burned, and he among a
few others were saved by the efforts OF
boats crew belonging to sailing ves-
sci bound for San Francisco. Having
lost his IL oney in this disaster, he sailed
LOT auSlTtlldy WulCh poihe hO iOaNhSu
in very destitute condition. He was
taken sick, and remained in the hands
of the physicians for many long months.
When able to travel he started for
home, and when within five days from
New York the vessel was overtaken and
captured by rebel privateer and ta-
ken into Southern port. He was
couscripted into the rebel army,
and forced to the front. He was
made hospital steward, which gave him a
good opportunity to aid the "Boys i'll
Blue" and saved him from taking a
seeming part with the rebels. When
the war was over, he came North and at
once sought his home. Sadly he turned
to an old neighbor for explanation. This
friend, who could hardly believe the
story, told him that three months after
he had started for California letter
reached them from member of the out
going party informing the young wife
that George had been killed by the In
dians. She had mourncd for him long
time, and then friend of her husband
had marIiod her, and together with the
aged mother had gone West, and he is
now seeking them.

A PRETTY FoOT.-What is prettier
than pretty footi What more capti-
waiting than dear little boot covering
high instep, and coming down neatly
over the toes, with bewitching tassel
dangling at the top of the close-lacing.
In nothing is aristocracy SO marked as
in the pedal extremity; the thin nostril,
the long fingers, the narrow palm, are
evidences of gentle blood, but far less so
than the round ankle, the high instep
and the hollow beneath, through which,
as the high bred Arab says, stream of
water should he able to flow while the
possessor is standing. The fiat splay
foot on the contrary, as surely tells of
want of pedigree as its misshapen excre-
SCIENCES, its corns and bunions drive
away affection. The horse shows the pur-
ity of his extraction by clean limbs, neat
pastern and small hoof; and the same
result is noticeable, more or less, in all
animals. Man falls in love as readily
with o seductive foot as with an at
tractive face; he finds in it thousand
expressive movements; its firm tread
speaks Of decided character; its quick
step denotes anger; its elasticity Of mo-
ton assures him of liveliness and good
humor; its hasty tread denotes impa-
thence; its subtle glide signifies cum
ming; while the quiet but marked foot
fall guarantees him an affectionate dis
position. The face often deceiyes with
an alluring smile; il is taughtor trained
by design or habit; openness is guarded
and confined; but the foot speaks its
own language, unrestrained and untu-
tored; and the male sex owe debt of
gratitude to fashion for giving back
honest feet to the future adorners of
human existence.
