His daughter’s name was Leila,
but he always called her “Lee.” He
was very eccentric, and had away ol
speaking very short and quick. “Lee’
was the cook.
One morning he came brusquely
into the diniug-'-oom to breakfast
and seating himself at the table, he
began, without waiting until the oth
er members of the household were
at their places, t > reel off the blessing:
Lord make us thankful for these
and all Thy blessings, we ask, for
Christ’s sake, Amen.”
And, looking up, continued with-,
out the slightest intermission between 1
the utterance of the two sentiments:!
Lee, what the hell did you burn i

Intoxicated with the delirium of
expectancy, the coarse table fare di
lated into the proportions and mag
nifiicence of a feast of roses a la Cleo
patra. but rapture disregarding the
difference between meum and tuum
levied his apetite; he could not eat.
He could not sit still, so he left the
table, and like one walking on nettles,
paced up and down the piazza rest

A horseman approached at a gal

then rose in his throat.
The horseman passed on.
His heart resumed its action.

He went to bed.
Every noise was like the blast ©f

the night palpitated sonoursly as he
lay tossing on his bed of thorns.

dawn of another day.
Leaping from the bed on which he

An hour later he hailed an early

A big revival was in progress at
C—church, a powerful, soul inspir
ing sermon had just been delivered,
wet eyes were to be seen every where
in the house, scarcely a dry one was
to be observed.
The good old familiar hymn,
“There is a fountain filled with
Blood,” was started and sung in
camp meeting style, and “Yes
Lord!” and “Ah mens“ brok; out
like the measles among the congrega
tion, Good sisters began to rock back
and forth moaning ?and lamenting,
with ever increasing volume in ton'',
which rapidly became contageous.
Now and then a man deep bosso-nro
fundo mingled with the not ‘ otill
small voice** of the women.
Louder and more uproarious grew
the commotion. Then the ex
horters got warmed up and pels I
the devil and sin with hot shot to
drive him out of the sanctuary of tbe
Lord. Enaotioral insanity “played
first fiddle,“ and chois ran rampant.
Nearly every man, woman and
child were shouting or bemoaning
past sins and offenses.
Our friend was there on an
amen-bench, during the discourse,
but now in the midst of the tu
mult, he stood facing the congre
gation, swaying bis angular body,
slapping his long bony hands as if in
a state of beautification, uttering in
his thin, sharp voice something that
sounded like “Oo ee’’ with the ”ee”
only half articulated and suddenly
cut off
Near the rear of the chureh stood
a son of oqr religior s mad friend, who
was silent and indifferent to the tida
wave of holiness that was sweeping
over the rest of the congregation.
He remained standing for a time
till an idea seemed to strike him;
then picking up his hat he walked
quietly down the aisle and out of the
ehurch.
A group of interested on lookers
were ranged about the dcor watch
ing the exciting scene within.
Stepping a little to one side of
the d )or, John asked in a sup-
pressed voice:
“Boys, have any of you £ot a
pistol about you?”
All looked the surprise they felt
and nodded their heads negatively
while one asked :
“VV hat in the wor d do you
want with a pistol?
“Boy’s, do you see the old naan
in yonder? He’s got religion now,
and I want to send him to heaven
while the spells on him. It wont
last till dinner’s over!'

friendship. He had no enemies, t<

Mr. H. William of Atlanta lias
arrived in the city with one of Edi
sons latest and most modern Phono
graph‘s.
The beauty about this new ma'
chine is, that fourteen people can lie

the latest and most popular airs and
sweetest old melodies,
He says that he makes a specialty
of ‘‘family concerts” or “social gath
erings’’ and with his machine can at
the expense of SI,OO an hour furnish
a home circle or social gathering
more genuine pleasure than you can
shake a stick at.
If you want the machine at your

“Perhaps you would not think so
but a very large proportion of dis
eases in New York comes from care—
lessness about catching cold ’ savs
■Dr Syrus Edson. “It. is such a simple
thing and so common that very few
people, unless it is a case of pneumo
nia, pay any attention to a cold. New
York is one of the healthiest places
on the Atlantic Coast and vet there
are a great many cases of catarrh and
consumption which have their origin
n this neglect of the simplest precau
tion of every day life. The most
sensible advice is, when you have one
get rid of it as soon as possible. By all
means do not neglect it ’Dr. Edson
does not tell how t a cold but
we will. Take Chamberbin’s
Remedy . It will relieve the lungs
aid expectoration, open the secretion
and soon effect a permanent cure.
