A number of our peiple have atten
ded the series of holiness meetings now
being held at Philadelphia church, dur
ing the past week. The meetings are
reported to be quite interesting, aud
many manifestations of the spirit have
been plainly visible from the com.
mencemeiit. Both night and day the
services are attended hy large multi
tudes.
Mr. Titos. D. Stewart, the popular
superintendent of the M. E. Sunday
School, at this place, delivered a stir
ring lecture on “Sunday School Work,”
at the Methodist church, last Wednes
day evening. A large and appreciative
audience greeted him on this occasion,
and garnered many new and interest

handled hy this scholarly gentleman.

painful still Mr. Alums’ condition is
not thought to be in any wise danger
ous, and he will in a few weeks be
aga'u able to attend to his accustomed
duties.

JCDGE HIRAM LESTER.
As has been stated in another col
umn, .Mr. A. 11. S. Davis has secured
the services of Judge Hiram Lester,
and will have on exhibition this the
oldest man on the globe. »
Since securing the Judge, Mr. Da
vis has discovered that the old cente
narian’s mind is not altogether free
from the foibles, of youth, and that
lie longed to bask in the bright smiles
of a middle aged, though buxom mat
ron. Upon becoming apprised of this
fact, Mr. Davis set about immediately
to help Cupid in the consunmtion of
his task ; and in consequence there
will be a wedding.
This wedding will differ from the
usual order of things in several mate
rial respects, to wit : It will occur be
fore the grand stand on the Exposition
grounds one day next week—the date
has not as yet been definitely fixed.
Gov. Nortlien is expected to officiate.
The groom, Judge Lester, is only
one hundred and twenty-four years of
age, while his intended bride, Mrs.
Moselv, a young ami tender maiden its
comparison fo the groom, lias only seen
about seventy winters.
NIGHT STARS.
Pleasant Meeting and Sparkling Pro
duction by a Young Lady Member.
Another one of the enjoyable meet
ings of the reading club was held at the
elegant home ol Col. T C. Nolan last
Friday night.
A good attendance was present, and
the usual exercises were spitted with a
sparkling original production hy Miss
Lois Bryan, which caught the club.
Many enthusiastic compliments were
extended Miss Lois after the reading by
the members, and in response to a gen
eral request from them we print the
production in full. It is us follows:
This great literary club is called the
“Night Stars” I believe, and very bril
liant they aretoo, are they not ? What
would you think of representing each
one of these gentlemen as a planet?
Suppose we commence with ('ol. Brown
aud call him Jupiter, the brightest star
that adorns the heavens.
As.the varieties of light and shade
which characterize tlie disk of Jupiter
are subject to variations, so are the
lights and shades which go to make up
Col. Brown’s outward appearance sub
ject to variations also. Where these
changes produced in Jupiter are caused
by clouds in his atmosphere, the
changes produced in Col. Brown are
caused by It is seeming to try to adapt
himself to the company he is in. We
do not speak of the Col’s real self, for
it is at rare intervals that we get a
glimpse of that, hut of his appearance
to a casual observer. When you come
to a telescopic view of hitn, though,with
a good telescope, both reflecting and
refracting, the view is indeed magnifi
cent. When Galileo directed the first
telescope to the examination of Jupiter
he observed four minute stars which at
tended this planet in his orbit around
the sun, giving light to it in a similar
manner as the moon does to the earth.
Direct your thoughts to Col. Brown
aud you will discover four well devel
oped points of character which will
light his path through life, “His love
of ease, his love of self, his love of
dreaming and his love of uttering bright
remarks on all occasions. Col Brown
is dis similar to Jupiter in one thing,
he does not move as rapidly. Howev
er I will speak in behalf of the club atitj
say that we are proud of this brilliant
star, for by his luminous rays we are
often helped to see things more plain
ly than we would if we had him not.
Next in order comes Mercury. We
seldom have a favorable opportunity of
observing this planet. It is only at
times that it is visible, for Dr. Tye like
Mercury keeps his illuminated hemis
phere turned towards the sun. There
is only one sun known to the l)r. (you
cau easily imagine what that is) and he
hiings all his intellectual faculties to
bear upon this Solar system, leaving the
dark and uninteresting side for us to
gaze upon. He will not turn his ilfu
minuted hemisphere towards us long
enough to flash his rays iuto the midst
of this club as Critic.
We now come to Saturn. Thin
planet with hiu many rings Hint satcl
lites is w**l| reprt'sentflti by Mr. M.
Lowe. Ilia secretary likes uotliing
(letter l Inin to he surroumlt d by his
I many girl admirers, lie revels in “qua
kertlirip?,’ he dotes oil love ditties,
he huhliles over with sentiment mu!
twinkles lovingly at the |>oor credulous
liitle satellites revolving around him. |
But a voice is heard in the distance
singing that old song, “Don’t trust him
girls, he is fooling yon.”
Ihe planet I’allao with its rnddv
appearance and irregularity of form re
minds one of Mr. dolmnie Lowe with
his rose colored features and anything
but symmetrical figure
Ihe planet that revolves in the ex
treme limit of the Solar system is Ura
nus. The member of this club that
manages to B et in the most remote
corner aud wears the most disinterested
’ook that was ever manufactured is Mr.
Newman.
I hardly think it would be possible
for any one to become so accomplished
in the art of smiling resignedly as this
young gentleman.
\ esta though it is the smallest plan
et that revolves in the planetary course
has the lustre of a much larger star,
presenting a most pleasing appearance
to the eye of the beholder and Mr. Will
Harper, though he ranks among the
smallest in size of the club, is no less
pleasing in appearance than the beau
tiful star, Vesta.
We will have to cull Mr. Lem Car
mieliael the north star, I guess, as he is
always on hand and ever ready, espec
tally ready to second all the motions
that are made.
Mr. Earnest Smith is simply a little
“twinkler,” perhaps the one that first
put it into the head of the Author to
write that far famed little poem
“Twinkle, twinkle little star.”
We take up now the Comet, the
greatest light that ever swept theheav
ens. This great shining body flashes
athwart the sky and there reigns su
prente for a season, then vanishes. Mr.
Du Bose, tike the Comet, lias come
among us for a sho.t while, when he is
to leave perhaps never to return. When
he first arrived, lie came in a manner
most startling to oui quiet little commu
nity—leaving his brilliancy trailing
far behind him wherever lie chose to
go. And fair maidens with eyes open
ed wide looked on wondertogly, for is
it not a rare thing to see a Comet, es
pecially such an overwhelming awe
striking one as this ? And the plauets,
where were they—some turned green
with envy, while others became pale
and sickly looking, for none could cope
with this wonderful thing But now
they have become more us«d to this
glaring light, and it does not strike
them as forcibly as at first, and then
too the President is a little subdued of
late, owing perhaps to so much imperial
grandeur, for who can wear the impe
rial without also wearing mi extra
amount of dignity, which of course
must he a little wearing oil one’s spir
its.
May the “Night Stars” twinkle mer
rily on for the season undisturbed,
sprinkling sparks of friendship, love
and pleasure in the heart of each fellow
member.
