THE METHODIST.
[The following llnee, written by Lt. Bradley, killed
in the Coater massacre, appear In print for the first
time. They will be appreciated as the work of a man
of culture.-EDiTOB Southkrn World.
I hare seen those so very nice
They thought salvation at the price
Of dusted knee or rumpled gear,
As most exorbitantly dear.
Just as they would In publlo eat,
So do they take the gospel meat.
In mouthfuls small and very slow,
For fear that they will 111-breeding show.
But note the Methodist In prayer.
On bended knee wltb soul-rapt air.
Whose loud responsive echoes roll,
Betokening the earnest soul.
In all he does here are life and Are,
Ills energy seems net to tire,
With gospel-banner wide unfurled,
His march Is known throughout the world.
Encompassing the walls of hell.
He rears no labored parallel,
But swift his sturdy columns form,
And takes the devil’s works by storm.
Brother Gardner Puts Down His Foot.
The President stated that he was in receipt
of a communication from a State Senator-
elect, offering the following positions to the
members named:
Keeper of the Senate Cloak-room—Give-
adam Jones.
Keeper of the Representatives’ Cloak-room
—Whalebone Howker.
Two Assistant Firemen—Samuel Shin and
——*-'Pfof. l)e Hash.
Keeper and Propeller of the State Wheel
barrow—Trustee Pullback.
Keeper of the State Snow-shovel—Pickles
Smith.
“ I accept,” came from the mouth of every
person named, as soon as the President had
finished and the greatest confusion prevailed
all over the hall.
“ Gem’len,” said Brother Gardner, as he
brought the gavel down with a whack, “it
can’t be did! Dis club has taken a sartin
stand on the subjick pf polly ticks an’dat
stand will be maintained. De minit dat dls
club accepts favors from officeholders welkin
no longer condemn what we know to be bad.
De object of gibin’ us de offices named am to
keep dls club still fur de nex’ two y’ars.
Shall we sacrifice principles for money ?”
“Yes! yes!” was cried from various cor
ners.
“ Does anybody appeal from de decisbun
. of diagha’r?” __
m ’^•Ves! yds! ye&!”
The old man calmly unhitched himself
from the desk, walked down to the center of
the hall, and, looking in six or seven direc
tions, he quickly remarked :
“Which am de cognomen of de indiwidual
who ’peals from de decishun of de cha’r?”
Deathly silence.
“If de cha’r can’t sustain his decishun he
will resign.
Not a foot moved, while thirteen of the
bull’s-eye watches carried by members sud
denly stopped dead still.
“De seckretary will make a note of de
lack dat de hydra-headed sarpint of rebel
lion has been crushed,” said Brother Gard
ner as he walked to his desk.—Detroit Free
Frets.
SPRING OVERCOATS.
party, dancing about and pulling bis hair.
“Don’t give me any winter. Don’t sling any
cold winds at me, if you know when you are
safe. I want the publlo to imagine that fall
will last up to Christmas. I want an open
and mild winter snap. You see I’ve got
about 500 spring overcoats on my hands,
and—"
“Exaotly," said the so-much-a-line fiend.
"What you want is something of this style:
‘All the indication?.point to»a phenomenal
winter. We hear from the weather prophets
that an unusually late fall and very mild
winter may be expected—so mild and balmy,
indeed, that people will find heavy, cumber
some overcotU a burden, even up to the be
ginning of the new year. Still, prudence
and the laws of health will not allow of our
going without a top-coat. Many a promis
ing career has been brought to a sad and un
timely end through bad judgment in the se
lection of a suitable outer garment. Trust
to our excellent jadgment and secure at once
one of our semi-season, moisture-proof, mid
dle-weight top-coats, made expressly for the
coming mild winter. We long ago estab
lished telegraphic communications with
Vennor and othor bang-up weather proph
ets, and know what we are talking about.
Call upon us at once, as the number of these
admirable garments!?limited. If youdon’t
fancy the garment after you have given it a
month or two’s trial we will take it back and
return you vour money with a magnificent
oil’painting of the father of his country as a
■light compensation for the trouble you
have been, to in trying our goods’ How
does that strike you?” asked the so-much-a-
line man.
“Down to the ground,” said the little
party. "Just slap her in every day for a
week. If that don’t fetch ’em I’ll agree to
wear one of the confounded coats myself all
winter," and he left the office much better
pleased with the world than when ho ar
rived.—Brooklyn Eagle.

n Job Lot.
“Who is the advertising manager here ?"
asked a brisk-looking little party, walking
quickly up to the cashier’s desk.
“I attend to that department," said the so-
much-a-line worker. “Too late to-day; go
in to-morrow. How much space did you
say you wanted? Paper over-crowded,
Should come in a week in advance. Yes,
our rates are—’’
“Here, move slow,” gasped the little party
“I don’t like to have everything slung at me
at once in that fashion. Now, you see, I’m
in the clothing business, and—”
“To be sure. Understand your case ex
actly,” said the so-much-a-line fiend, flour
ishing his pen and spreading out a paper,
“You want a reading ad. Something like
this: ‘The balmy perfume of the bursting
buds and the soft, enchanting zephyrs of
summer have given way before the cruel
blasts of coming winter, and it is high time
that our thoughts turned to heavy under

a foot above the knees—’ ”

The CntMlrlvers’s Theory,
The car-driver slowed up carefully os the
reporter stepped aboard, and, by various
twists of the neck and di verssidelongglances,
displayed a disposition to talk as the car rat
tled on its way down town. After going
several blocks in silence he turned around
suddenly and remarked, briskly:
“01 have thjm on, sur 1” ,
“You have,'eh ? What are they ?”
“Me winters’s socks. I’m as warrum os a
babby, an’ twoice as comfortable.”
“I s'pose car-drivers suffer on cold days ?’
“Well, there's snow in bed whin Oi git
left, zur. Oi ’ave struck the best thing that
iver wuz. I put on a pair av cotton socks
first, an’ then draw the woolen ones over
thlm, an’ yez could walk in the river all
midnight, an’ it stan’s ter reason you’d ni ver
git cowld.”
“Why not?”
“Fur the reason that yon couldn’t The
cowld, whin it comes In through the woolen
sock, stops at the outside of the cotton sock,
and the warrum which goes out from yerself
through the cotton sock stops at the woolen
sock. Accordingly yer fate Is always war
rum, and the cowld gits left, yer see.”
Having relieved himself on this head, the
driver turned contentedly to his horses and
said nothing more.—New Fork Sun.
