I see that question .has broken out auew
up north and is about to split the Congress-
tlonallst church in two. Every tow ycirs

theologians asserted that there were infants
In hell not a span long, and the preachers took
sides and so did tbo people, and thoy got mad
with one another and split the church
Into old school and new school. Tho
Episcopalians have split Into high church and
low chnrch, and tha Baptists split into hard
shell and missionary and tha Methodists split
noon tbo slavery question, and the Presbyte
rian! like to have split upon dancing, and now
they are all in a mats abont whether Adam's
body was created when his soul was or a tow
theunnd years before. Wall, wo all admire
Dr. Adama and Dr. Jones and Dr. Glradsau

shortly afterwards I was requested to remain

“Miss Wheeler, the lovely danghtor of the
general, rather than rabmlt to toe grosa vio

os iho European ladles wore massacred their
bodies were flnng into this well. At the edge
of this famous ‘Well of Gawnpoor,’ I stood
within a week after it waa filled with Its ha

was something that is sickening even to think
of now. Over that alto now rites one of the

Exptess, stroll into that tittle shop that opent
wide upon the sidewalk, nearly opposite
Cooper Institute, and look np at the crayon
, m trait of a beautiful woman's face. Most
people suppose it Is an advertisement for some
brand of cigarettes, bnt it is not. Express in
voluntary admiration; that will he natural,
and offer to buy it. You can safaiy do this,
for tbe gray-haired geutlemsn behind the
counter will courteously hut firmly say you
nay, even whi'.e he producer a prlrato box,
unstamped, hut containing an article which
con will smoke with deUght. Then, if you
are a good listener aud appear toelable, he will,
oral least he did tbe other evening, remsvk
that every man’s life has its romance, and
that he is not as old as he looks. Ho looks at
Irast fifty years, bnt his dark eye* are bright,
and his strong, shapely hand* are white and
rmoethss alady’s.
"Twenty yesra ago. Ju it after the war,” he
rsidi putting that unstamped cigar-box out of
sight, “the custom house was just gettiug down
to work try log to make up for years of demur-
alrzwtion. The popular idea In regard to
smuggling was more liberal than now, and tbe
president might have imported hil bride's
irousreau and a cargo of whisky sod cigars for
tbo white house without stirring up tho entire
press of tho couotry. I waa captain of the
Carmen, a three-masted schooner, trsdiog be
tween this port and Havana. It miJuatauch
a cool August night as this thattbe Carmen
lay becalmed off ltarnegat on her trip aonth.
We lay abont a mils from tbe Jarsey coast. It
wss almost dark, when I heard a man's voice
hail us. Suddenly a row-boat bumped our side,
and it batless Individual lerambled aboard with
a wild giste in his eyes and a Mg diamond In
his shirt front. He unhitchel tho diamond
aud handed it to mo with the remark: ‘Will
this pay for my passage to the port yon are
bound fori" The slono was worth $1,000 If it
was worth anything, and aa tho breeze was
springlog up I called it a bargain.
“1 lauded the fugittro in Havana, and lost
sight of him for nearly a year. One day, how
ever, he came aboard the Carmen just as I was
making ready for New York. He introduced
himself as Den Etcoaces. He said he was get
ting rich aa a tobacco-grower, and f.U that be
owed everything to me. I told him that our
accounts werntquared, and asked after tbe
sneethcart he said ho bad loft bolllnd him*
“That was wbat he wished to aea me about.
Wonld I tako a parcel and delivor It into her
hand! at the Brunswick hotel? It eontalaod a
present of gnat value, aud he begged that none
but the lady bertell open it. The name Mrs.
Agues Anstruthcr was ou the wrapper. Hav

wood box containing fifty cigar* at least tevon
inches long and of the choicest leaf in the

anniversary of my night adventure with tbe

undertaken. I had been wondering all daring

the package unopened through tho coitont
hor se. Doubtless It contained jewols, and it
was pride rather than a spirit of daring that
prompted me to tako a desperate chance.
‘‘Leaving the Carmen in command of the
