Driving oflT the Devil.
The Per* correspondent of the London
Telegraph gives s description of what
took place at Stamboul during a lunar
eclipse on the 13th test. Us writi's: On
Tuesday night we wen fevered with the
spectacle of* lunar eclipse. The sky was
sufficiently clear, and the moon was very
bright, when the shadow of the earth be
gan to fall on its outer rim. We were
watching the progress of the rapidly-de
creasing cresoent from a terrace overlook
ing Stamboul, when suddenly, all along
the water’s edge,sparks of fire flashed out
in every direction. Rifles, muskets, pis
tols and guns made as much din ss though
a night attack were being made or repell
ed. Wbat could it mean! A moment
later showed. Breathless with excite
ment and haste, there dashed towards our
littfe group s Turkish servant, his arms
outspread, and the expression of his face
Indicative *f terror. Could we lend him a
rifle? “For what?” was the response.
"To shoot the devil, who would other
wise take away the moon. , bee!” added
he, as be pointed to the disappearing orb.
“Sheilan baa nearly seised it. Unless we.
can drive him off we shall lose the light,
and then alaa for ns all, what evil will be
fall us’f It was useless to reason with
him. He was fully convinced of the nec
essity of assisting in the hubbub which
was going on; nor was he happy till he
bad my rifled carbine in his hand, and
was recklessly firing regulation bullets
over the tops of the bouses in Pent. It
was not everybody who could uuderstand
what all the hubbub was about. ‘Tt’s an
insurrection,” exclaimed one, a stranger
to Turkish ways. “No; they are firing in
honor of peace with Serbia,” said another
equally at fault. "It’s a fete, no doubt,”
suggested a third; while a fourth thought
perhaps they were killing the dogs. But
they were all wrong. The lower-class
Turks went fighting against no fleshly
foes, they were celebrating no festival;
they were saluting no peace; the bullets
which were whizzing the air were aimed
at Lucifer, who was just then endeavor
ing to steal the moon.
Repose in the Ocean Depths.—lt has
been ascertained by soundings that the
roaring waves and the migbteat billow of
the ocean repose, not upon cushions of
still water; that everywhere at the bot
tom of the deep sea the solid ribs of the
earth are protected, as with a garment,
from the abrading action of its currents;
that the cradle ol its restless waves is lined
by a stratum of water at rest, or so nearly
at rest that it can neither wear nor move
the lighest bit of drift-stuff that onee
lodges there. Tbe uniform appearance
of the microscopic shells, and the almost
total absence among them of any sedi
ment from the sea of foreign matter, sug
gests most forcibly the idea of perfect
repose at the bottom of the sea. Some of
the specimens are as pure and as free from
sand as the fresh fallen snow-flake is from
the dust of the earth. Soundings seem to
prove that showers of these beautiful shells
are constantly tailing down upon the ocean
floor, and the wrecks which strew the sea
bottom are, in the lapse of ages, encrust
ed over with these tiny, fleecy things, un
til they present the rounded outlines of
bodies buried beneath the snow-fall. The
ocean, especially near and within the
tropics, swarms with life. The remains
ef its myriads of moving things are con
veyed by currents, and scattered and lodg
ed'in the course of time, all over the bot
tom. This process, continued for ages,
has covered the depths of the ocean as
with a mantle, consisting of organisms as
delicate as hoar-frost, and as fight in the
water as down in the air.
XVhat did Paul Na;r
Many yeara since there lived in Virginia
a Baptist preacher named B . Though
uneducated, he was a sound thinker and elo
quent speaker, and no minister had a more
devoted flock. It was the custom during the
inclement season to hold meeting at the reai
deuces of members, and once or twice dur
ing the Winter at the bouse of the preacher.
For many years it was observed that B——
neither preached nor conducted tbe meeting
when held at hia house, but secured the ser
vice ot a neighboring minister. He was of
ten pressed lor an explanation withont suc
cess; but finally, in response to tbe impor
tunities of some of his flock, gave tbe foliow
ißg:
When 1 was younger than now—in fact,
not long after the commencement of my
ministration—l held a meeting a! my own
home. It feeing customary for many of tbe
cougregation to remain for dinner, Mrs. B.
sent our negro boy Tim to neighbor Paul's
for some butter. Tim returned and located
himself, standing on one foot at a time, on
the outskirts of the congregation. Being
well warmed up in my sermon, thinking
neither of Tim nor his errand, but only of
tbe moat successful mode of pressing my
strongest arguments, I demanded with aft
the energy in my power, ‘And wbat did Paul
say?’
“Tim, at the top of his little, squeaking
voics, exclaimed, as Tim could only have
done, ‘He said you couldn't get sny more
butter till you paid for what you’d got!’
“Thia brought down the house, and cut
short one of the finest efforts of my early
ministry. Since then I have kept my
preaching disconnected from my domestic
affair*.” _ ___
Endorsed by the faculty. The rep
utation of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup
has been solely achieved on account
of its merit. Physicians prescribe it.
•
Dr. Nehenck's standard Remedies.
The standard remedies for all diseases
ot tne lungs are Sohenck's Pulmonic riyr
up, Hchenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, mid
Hobenck's Mandrake Pills, and if taken
before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H.
Hchenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri
valled success in the treatment of pulmo
nary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the mordid
matter in the lunger; nature throws it off
by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough
will throw it off, the patient has rest and
the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Scbenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the Stomach and Aver. Schenck’s
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all obstructions, relax tbe gall bladder,
the bile starts freely, and the liver to ro
|yoaq ¥
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle
stimulant and alterative; the alkali of
which it Is composed mixes with the food
and prevents souring. It assists tbe dt-
g cation ky toning up the stomach to a
ealthy so that tbe food and
the Pulmonic Byrup will make good
blood, then the lungs heal, and tbe patient
will surely get well II care is taken to pre
vent fresh Cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schence,
either personalty or by letter, can do so at
his principal office, cornier of Sixth and
Arch, streets, Philadelphia, every Mon
tfchenc'ka Medicines are sold by all
druggists throughout the oouatry.
