After ths | day and time, official canvass had been concluded, Mr Bedmond proceeded to the Parnellite committee rooms, where he returned thanks to the oommittemen and th« electors for the great and anocsaafnl work they had done in his behalf. He declared that the election in Wateford would ha historia The result had shed honor and lnstro on the city. It was sad, he said, that Mr. Parnell had not lived to see the glorious vindication given his policy by the electors oi Waterford. Both Mr. Bedmond and Mr. Davitt left Waterford for Dublin. A detach ment of hussars escorted Mr. Davitt to the railway station. He was offered nc molestation. Mr. Bedmond was es corted by a large number of his sup porters, who had engaged the services of several bands of music, which, on the way to the station, played "The Boys of Wexford."

There may be about us at times, when we know not,souls that are so evi nlv bal anced in their choice between go< d and evil, between Christ and the world, be tween heaven and hell that a single look or glance, a touch or shadow, may decide tbeir destiny for time and eternity. A young lady was once deeply impress ed with a go*p*-l sermon, and was ready to cry out, "What must I do to be saved?” when an uuliecomiug and jesting remark made by a church member, as they retired from the bouse of God most tfleclually dis sipated her religious thoughts and serious impressions. Says the R-ligous Herald: “A young man who was at church with bis parents s deeply impn sseil by the sermon of the minister, but on the way borne the father’ criticised the discourse, and made several disparaging remarks about it As the father was a mi mtier of the church, as well as a kind father'iu the family, the ef fect of his criticisms was that the serious thoughts of the son were dissipated, and the solemn lessons of the sermon entirely lost ther power over the young man. ‘“As another instance, a Woman who often criticised her pastor in the family, saw her children growing up imliff rent in the church and to religious things,and saiit to her pastor with tears; ‘Doctor, can’t you help me to save my bovsT ’Madam,’ * he replied, T have no influence with v«ur boys; you have talked it all away?
