Oh, coinrartos, All no glass for mo,
To drown my soul In liquor flutno j

That passion holds ngalnst^my life,
Still boon companions you may ho,

Whoso patient sufferings nood my oavo,

Though |ioon companions you may ho,
Oh, oomrndos, All no glass for mo I

Of aspirations undeAled \
But tnunhoort’s years have wrongod tlio pride

Though boon companions you may bo,
Oh, oomrudes, All no glass for me,
Is tho Dovll Dead 1
Tlio Kov.’iili’. Day preached on Sun
day at the comfortable littlo Chapel of
Independents, on tho query: “Is the
Dovll Dead?” The theory of the
speaker was that the dovll is tho em
bodiment of all evil in tho world—dis
ease, disaster, death, etc. Christ him
self triumphed over tho devil, but so
long as there is in tho world suffering,
wrong-doing, and death, Christ’s work
is not yet performed. The devil is,
therefore,.just, as active, strong and
triumphant in tlio world to-day ns lie
over was. Mr. Day, however, believes
that mankind tiro not to bo finally
handed over to the tender mercies of
tlio devil to he tormented, everlasting
ly, but that after dentil they will he
punished, purified, and ultimately en
joy tlie happiness of Heaven.
If wo understand tlio reverend gen
tlemnn correctly, lie believes that some
great change or series of changes, such
ns have already taken place in tlio ages
of the past, may finally occur in the
world, a'nd tlio present laws of the uni
verse be changed or niodittcd by the
Almighty, when sin, physical suffering,
and dentil will be banished, and the
Kingdom of Christ reign supreme.
The devil will, at that period, be cast
into hell, and forever destroyed and
blotted out of existence.
Air. Day’s argument to prove his
particular theories'were ingenious mid
subtle, and although a little misty, his
views arc, perhaps, no more visionary
than tlioso of other theologians who
treat of subjects that must, after all,
remain mere matters of opinion. A
good many people uulst have anticipa
ted from the subject announced, “The
Destruction of the Devil,” that some
serious accident had happened to their
old friend and associate, and the audi
ence was quite largo.
After nil the abuse that has been
heaped upon “Old Niilk,” with his clo
ven foot and red-hot tail, we really
don’t know how tlio world, would get
along without him, it has become so
used to his company. It would cer
tainly he very lonesome to a good ma
ny pooplo, and monotonously dull.
The devil i3 a grand motivo power
of the business world, and keeps eve
rything lively. Without him what
would become of all the magnificent
cathedrals and churches, tho ministers
and missionaries,tlio theological schools
and tract societies, Henry Ward Dcecli-
er and religious newspapers, and nil
tlio numerous branches of industry
connected with them? Wlmt would
beeomo of Dr Banvards stately church
ami his theological thunder of Domi-
nio Knapp’s “baptismal pants” and
Mr. Dunn’s fiery philiipics against sin
and satan, and thousands of good ser
mons that are preached all. over the
world every Sunday? Tlio devil fur
nishes more employment in this world
than is generally supposed, and we
doubt if lie enn ho spared just yet,
without creating too great a vacuum.
Only think of tho many enterprises
ho is managing in this country alone,
besides the New York daily papers.—
The great coal and railroad monopo
lies, tlio national hanking and money
ed monopolies^ State Legislatures, tho
election of United States Senators,
Woodhull and Claflin’s Weekly, thea
ters and gift concerts, Credit Mobilier
Schemes, thousands of gambling hells,
tho New York Custom House, and
scores of other places of infamous re
sort; tlie whole Radical party; and a
great many other wicked tilings, ns tho
auctioneer says, too numerous to men
tion.
Dominlo Day is right when he says
that the devil is now just as active and
powerful as over, in spite of the theo
logical missiles that have been launch
ed at his head for so many hundred
years. Wo fear lie is n tolerably per
manent institution in this world, and
would lie greatly missed. Wo have
never had any dealings with him our
selves, but tlioso that have seem to
have prospered just ns well as wo have,
and a great majority of mankind do
not act ns though they wanted him
destroyed Patterson Q nai'diaii.
Poisoning Case.
Dispatches from Peoria, III., say thnt
a poisoning ease was developed tlicro
last weok. It appears that George
Schumnn died suddenly last Novem
her. His life was insured for $2,000
in tho Washington Life Insurance Com
pnny, which sum was paid Mrs. Scbu-
nmn a few days ago. Friday night
Henry Snhuman, tho only son, died ns
mysteriously as ids father, exhibiting
symptoms of having been poisoned
A Lawyer on Fire.
Tho following brilliant anecdote orig
inates wfth tlio Chicago Journal: A
woll known lawyer of this city, noted,
among otlior peculiarities, for tho im
mense ionnth of the capllary adorn
ment of his cranium, caino near losing
all his hair, ids head and ills hat yes
terday, in tv West Randolph samplo
room. Willie standing witli his back
near tho oountcr, conversing with some
friends, tlio lnttor was seized with hor
ror at what they supposed was a ease
of Bpontanoous combustion, for sud
denly a cono of hissing flame envelop
ed tho head and head-gear—a shiny
—of their friond, and roso to a
_ ht of about two feet. The odor
accompanying tho phenomenon was of
tho pungent character, and was btrong-
lysuggcstivoof railroadcarliolooausts.
“Put him out, put him out,” was tlio
universal cry; but all soemod afraid of
an explosion, and could do notbig but
dance around tlie dancing figure of the
red-hot man like a lot of mad dervishes,
while tlie burning individual kept ids
arms flying around his head like a brace
of flails. One of his friends summoned
up courage enough to smash his hat
over ids eyes, as if dotemined to cork
tho living volcano tightly, and prevent
tho immediate bust-up. This act had
the affect of lowering the column of
fli’o to reasonable proportions, when
some one else threw two glasses full of
water on the burning mass, and followed
it up by enveloping tho head of tho de
voted being in an overcoat. Finally
the flames wero extinguished, and it
was discovered that the trouble all
arose out'of tho laivyer placing himself
in too close proximity to a drop gas jet.
His hair was reduced to penitentiary
dimensions; his plug hat received the
pliability cf an old accordcon, and two
glasses of water were wasted. Law
yers ought to live as long ns possible,
for the above incident only shows how
■greedily flames seize upon them.
Ten.
When your neighbor invites you
with tlio best of feelings to “como up
some lyenlng and take a cup of ten,”
does she renlly tempt you to partake
of a compound of Prussian blue, gyp
sum and tea leaves? In Glasgow the
result of an analysis recently made,
Ims been that out of twenty-seven sam
ples of black ten six only were una
dulterated. One package bought at a
very low price, contained not a single
leaf of genuine tea, being probably
what Hood calls a “sloe” poison. The
green tea was worse. Not a single
specimen but was either painted or
adulterated. Thisisnotdono where sold,
but in China. Four parts of gypsum
to three of .Prussian blue is the regu
lar mixture, and half a pound of this
suffices for a hundred pounds of green
ten. Tlie Chinese do not doctor this
tea from any malice; but simply be
cause it makes tlie leaves look uniform
and pretty, and “foreigners prefer it.”
A Wedding and n Murder,
liig Creek, toil miles north of Mem
phis, Tenn., was recently the scene of
tlie following disgraceful murder: A
German named Bachman had married
tlie Bister of George Cooper, a joUflca
tion had taken place, and four hours
after the wedding one Hill, a guest, a
former lover of Bachman's bride, and
then pretty drunk, began to discuss tlie
lady’s character in a manner so • dis
pleasing to the tipsy bridegroom and
ids brother-in-law that, with knife and
pistol, they set upon and murdered him.
They then i nn away, leaving the newly-
made brido to mourn alone, and now,
as tlie Memphis Appeal says, “tho cit
izens of the neighborhood want to have
these fellows arrested and punished"
which is stating tlio enso not at all too
strongly.

Argnetl her own Cause.
We learn thnt a widow lady in Bul
lock county, Ga., who is possessed of
considerable energy and good sense, on
Friday last, argued her own cuuso be
fore the court in session at Union
Springs, nnd secured a verdict in her
own favor—a result which highly grat

A Strange Meeting.
In tho Now York Dispatch, of a ro-
cent date, is an incident growing out
of tho rebellion, under tlio above bond
ing, nnd' tho journal referred to relates
how on an evening or two previous, a
good-looking man, a laborer, about 80
years of ago, took the cars at Centro
street depot, Newark, for Now York.
Thoro was hut ono vacant scat in tlio
car that ho entered, and that was by
tho sido of a handsome nnd olegantiy
dressed lady. Tho man sat down nnd
after ids fair companion had removed
her veil, ho was surprised to recognize
in her his wife, whom ho hail not seen
for more than twelve years. Tho lady
throw her arms around Ids heck and
kissed him tenderly, and mutual expla
nations followed.
It seems JM| they had been married
just before the breaking out of tho war,
at the homo of tho indy, lit Missouri.—
Her father was tlio owner of a largo
tract of land, but had only a little
money. IIo joined tho rebel onuse,
and tlio daughter also warmly adhered
to tlio opinions of her father. Her
husband, however, was a decided 1 Un
ion man. She abused him violently 6n
account of his principles, and told him
if he sided with the 1 ,Bloody Yankees”
lie might leave tlio place, and ssho nev
er wished to bco his face again. Ho
took her at her word, and the same
night left her and joined Fremont’s
army as a private. He was several
times taken prisoner, and ns often es
caped to our lines. Ho pressed on
with Shurman to tho sea, nnd at the
conclusion of his term of enlisttheiit
joined n Now York regiment, and by
this means, at the end of tho war,
found his wny to Newark, whore ho-
has since i worked quietly in a factory.
Ilis wife’s father was killed at Yicks-
burg, and sho was loft possessor of his
uncultivated farms. She, supported
herself by wovking in a millinery es
tablishment in St. Louis, till after the
close of the- war. Her land rose in
value, nnd she sold it for a good price,
and realized about $5,000. With this
sum sho started a millinery of her own
in St. Louis, and succeeded splendid
ly. She is reputed worth $40,000 or
$50,000. Sho was on her wny to New
York to buy goods when she met tho
man whom sho had supposed long ago
dead. Remorseful for driving him
away, she had refused all offers of mar
riage. Tlie joyous meeting caused the
husband to forgive tlio wife’s error,
nnd a present of a new suit of clothes,
n diamond ring nnd a splendid gold
watch, when they arrived, in N. York,
served materially to inercase Ids res
pect and affection for his long-lofet
wife. They are now sapping, at a
fashionable hotel, joyous over the ac
cident thnt re-united them.
A Dog thnt Is Worth Something.
The following is from tho Portland
(Maine) Press i
A. A. Nowman, assistant light kcop-
cr at Mount Dcsort, Is tho owner of a
fine Newfoundland dog, of whom we
nro-told the following anecdote: Mr.
Nowman’s littlo boy, nine years old,
strajod nnd was missing for about two
hours. Tho motlior wont out of doors
anti onllctl him, when tlio dog, in re
sponse, ran up from tho slioro with tlio
boy’s wet cap in his mouth, and:signi
fied by ids notions thnt ho desired her
to follow him. Tlio mother, alarmed;
called the father who was sleeping in
tho house, nnd they followed tho dog
ns quickly as possible. Down by tlio
shove, on n rock, tbo littlo boy was ly
ing insenoible, his clothes wet as if ho
had been dragged from the water.—
After long efforts, in which tlio dog
rendered all tho assistance he could, in
ids miito wny, tlio hoy was resuscitated
and afterwards told tlio story. IIo was
on the beach gathering shells 'when n
large wavo came in and carried him off
iii tlio undertow. Tho dog jumped -in
after him, hut the waves prevented him
from reaching tlio hoy for some min-
;utcs.; Htfffeeizcd him by tlio lug df ids'
trowsers and tried to drag him ashore,
but the cloth tore in ids teeth, and the
boy said that lip lind nn indistinct rca-
ollcction of tho dog coining down be
low tlie surface for him again, nnd that
.was tho last thing, lie was conscious of.
It seems that the dog had dragged Wio
Child up on the robk oqt of tho waves
nnd liad ti’ied to restore him. When
ibo Uenr(l the im6tlio'r’s cnll,Tio took tho
cap to inform her, as well ns ho could,
of the affair, and hasten assistance.

- cliusocts Sunday-school caught n boy
Mrs, Selmmnn and a man styled Dr. J. 8 niiling,last Sunday. Said she: “What

Good Memory.
A Pottsville man, who says he hasn’t
attended oh arch for twenty years, bpasts
thnt lie can remember perfectly tlie
preacher's text on the last occasion of a
visit to tlie sanctuary. And this is tlio
way he remembered it, when asked
wlmt it was—“It is easier for a camel
to enter a circus, than for a man to cat
a package of needles.”
A Precious Boy.
A family named Peter, hailing from
Vermont and on their wny to Grand
Rapids, were seated in tho Detroit and
Milwaukee depot yesterday, when one
of their boys; a tow headed lad about
eleven years old, slipped out of the
room, wandered up the street, and
finally lost himself. The mother groan
ed and wept, tho father turned pale,
and there was some lively getting
around.until the hoy was found. Part
of tho anxiety nr.oso from pnrental love,
but there wits-nnothor reason. The
boy had on boots a size too largo, anil
under liis stockings was the sum-’of
$240, which lie was carrying for tlie
family Detroit Free Press.

A Queer Custom.
The Celestials of Sail Francisco
have a wny of preparing a great feast
for themselves. Three times a year
they spread a royal banquet beside
tlio graves of their departed friends,
nnd, after a little time, fall to and cat
it themselves. On a recent oooasion
of this kind, forty oxpress wagons
were employed in transporting hogs,
chickens, rice nnd liquor to tlio ceme
tery, nnd over one hundred wagons
were in tlio pyoccssion.

Now.
If I were to give you a motto to go
through life with—one thnt would stand
you for a warning and counsel in any
strait which you might find yourselves,
I would give it in this one word “Now.”
Don't waste your time, nnd your
strength, and your opportunities, by
always meaning to do sometliiug—do
it; Only wonkncs3 comes of indecis
ion. Wily, some people have so ac
customed themselves to tliis way of
dawdling fropi one tiling to another,
that it really seems impossible for them
to squarely make up their minds to
anything. They never quite know
what they mean to do next; their only
pleasure seems to consist in putting
tilings off ns long ns possible, nnd then
dragging slowly through them, rather
than to do anything else.
Don’t livo a single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to bo
done in it, nnd going straight through
it from beginning to end. Work, play,
study, whatever it is, take hold at oneo
nnd finish it up squarely and cleanly,
and then do the next thing without let
ting any moments drop out between.
It is wonderful to see how many hours
these prompt people contrive to mako
of a day ; it's as if they picked up the
moments that tlio dawdlers lost. And
if you ever find yourself where you
have so many things pressing that you
hardly know how to begin, let mo tell
you a secret; take hold of the very
first one thnt comes to hand, nnd you
will find tho rest all fall into file nnd
follow after like a company of well-
drilled soldiers; and though work may
bo hard to meet when it charges in a
squad, it is easily vanquished when
.brought into line. 1 You may havo of-
tou seen the anecdote of tho man who
was asked how he accomplished so much
in his life. “My fattier taught nio,”
was, the reply, “when I had anything
to do, to go and do it l” There is tho
secret—tlio magic word “Now.”

A Wonderful Clock.
A German of Cincinnati has invent
ed a oloulc which, though much small
er than tlio - celebrated ono at Stras-
liurg, is, I'rmn its description, much
more complicated. We soo in a glass
enso, a tliroo-Btory shaped clock, four
loot wide at tho first story nnd nlno
foot high. The movement is placed In
tlie flrst story, on four delicate col
umns, within which swings tlio pendu
lum. Tlio second story consists of
two tower-like pieces, on tlio doors.|of
which there aro two pictures that rep
resent boyhood and early manhood.—
A tower crowns, as third story, tho
ingenious structure. A cock, ns a
symbol of watchfulness, Btnnds ou tho
top, directly over tlio portal.
When tho clock marks the first quar
ter the door of .the seoeflid story opens
and a child issues from tlio background,
coinos'fonvfU'd to a little bell, gives it
one blow nrid tfien disappears. At tlie
secorid quarter a youth appears, strikes
tlio bell twice mid then disappears.—
At the third there comes a man In his
prime; at the fourth w.e have a totter
ing old man leaniitg ou a staff, who
strikes tho hell four times.. Each time
tlio door closes of itself.
' When the hours are fiitl thodootsof
tho right piece of tho seoond story
opens, and Death, as a skeleton, soytlio
in baud, appears, nnd marks tho hour,
by striking a bell. But it is at the
twelfth hour ttiat wo. have thij grand
spectacle in . tlm representation of the
Day of Judgment. Then, w i len Death
Ims struck tliVeo blows on tlie top of
the'little bell,’the cock on tho top of
the tower suddenly flaps his wings nnd
crows in a shrill tone, and nfter Death
has marked the twelfth hour with his
hammer tlio cock crows twico again.
Immediately three angels, who stand
ns guardians in a central position, rniso
their trumpets in tliciv right hands (in
their left they hold swords,) and blpw
a blast toward each of tho four quar
ters of the earth. At tlie last blast
tlio door of the tower opens,' and tlie
resurrected- Children of eneli appear,
while tlie destroying angel sinks out of
sigltt. Then, suddenly, Christ de
scends, surrounded by ojigels. On his
left there is an angel carrying tlie
scales of justice, on his right another
carries the Book of Life', which opens
to show tlio Alpha and Omega—the
beginning nnd the end. Christ waves
his hand, nnd instantly the good among
tlie resurrected are separated from the
wicked, tlie former going to the light
nnd the latter to the left.
The Archangel Michael Balutes the
good, while on the other stands the
devil, radiant with fiendish draught—
ho can hardly wait for the' final sen
tence of those who fall in hand, but,
ip obedience lo the command <5f the
central figure, lie withdraws.
Tho figure of Christ raises its hand
ngain with n threatening mien, nnd tho
accursed sink down to tho regions of
tho Satanic majesty, Then Christ
blesses tlio chosen few, and they draw
'near to Him. Finally we henraolieer-
ful chime of bells, during widen Christ
rises; surrounded by his angels, until
ho disappears nnd tlio porta! closes.
A complete drama is hero represent
ed, without tlie aid of, a human, hand.
Tlie movements arc steady, calm and
noiseless, with the exception of tho
threatening gestures of tho figure of
Christ and tho movements of Lucifer,
who darts across tho sccno with light
ning rapidity. Of course tlio peeulfJlr
action of these figures is intentional
on tlie part of the artist, and add
reatly to tlic effect.

A Horrid “Dream Como Trne.”
A strange story comos from Chinn.

subsequently missing him for: a few

Horrible Hatchery by a Mother.
Jefferson City, Missouri, is at pres
ent somewhat excited over nn unusual
ly horl’ihla ease of infanticide, the
youth and unquestionable beauty of
the guilty mother adding not a little to
tho Bonsntional interest .of the crime.
Amends Luftcr, a rosy-cheeked, blue-
eyed German hlondo, whoso counte
nance and form fail completely to tell
of it depraved heart, on tlie flrst of
last June hceatnu tlio wife of Edward
Schneider, a fireman on the Missouri
Pacific Railroad, and, unfortunately
for tlieir connubial felicity, loss than
six months nfterwnrds gave birth to n
bright-eyed boy, whom Schneider re
fused to recognize as his, hut pronounc-
od a bastard.
This led to many quarrels between
him nml tlie fair Amanda, nnd to nn
infamous agreement thnt she should
leave tlieir home and go to tho city of
St. Louis to lead a life of shame.—
This settled, tho idea scorns to havo
entered her head tlmb she should kill
her oliiltl before departing. An un
successful effort to smother it to death
liy laying!on it in bed, and another to
freeze it to death by putting it out for
hours in a cold room, were therefore
promptly followed by a third, and, this
time, successful effort to destroy it on
Tuesday evening, tlio 18th. Left alono
with it, she locked and barricaded the
front door of her home, fastened tho
other doors and all tlio windows, got
an axe, laid tlie cluld on a block brought
in from the wood-pile, and witli two
blows of the nxe almost completely
severed tlie child’s head from its body.
Some minutes later the husband and
some neighbors broke open tho doors
and found the woman alone with tho
dead, crying and muttering incoherent-'
ly to horsolf. Arrested nnd imprison
ed, she bus repeatedly acknowledged tho
terrible crime, but often with such
strange expressions that many too char
itably deem her crazy; but more look
upon her ns nothing less than n fiend in
human form, led by vico and domestio
infelicity to this horriblo butehdry of
her own offspring.

A Curious Climate.
The climate of Peru is sot forth , by
a correspondent ns exceedingly pecib
liar and strange. It never rains there,
wo aro told, but during certain seasons,
and when the ntmosphoro is filled with
elouds, n “dow falls so thick, heavy,
and continuous that it will saturate
the heaviest clothing in less than halt'
ail hour.” The coming nnd tho going
of- tho elonds that distill this dew' is
another strange thing connected with
Porn. -The changes are reported so
rapid nnd violent as to startle tho stran
ger. Ono may bo walking along the
street, glorying in the rich warmth of
the BUBBhino, nnd admiring tho deep,
clear bine sky, n change takes place,
“and from the southward a mass of
dark elouds-come rolling swiftly across
tho firnuinent, arid soon the bluo sky is
replaced-by a sombre pall, and to the
glorious sunshine succeeds a drizzling,
penetrating mist.” And this is ns sud
denly changed ngain, even while one is
preparing to guard against the mist,
the sunlight and sky reappearing in all
their brightness and,beauty, ,
limited to bo Shot.
