DE- TALMAGE’S CONCERTS.’
HK WELCOMES UPWARD OF THREE
HUNDRED TO TIIK TABERNACLE.
Rev. T. De WittTalmage extend¬
ed the right hand of fellowship Sum
day morning to 341 persons who had
been converted during the revival
meetings held at the church. The
line of persons filled the semi-circu¬
lar aisle that extends around the
church and nearly filled all of the
straight aisle leading to the exits. It
took Dr. Talraago and the snior eld¬
er of the church fifteen minutes to
take all the new members by the
hand. Many of the converts were
young men. As he passed along the
line, Dr. Talmage spoke encouraging
words and exhorted them to be stead¬
fast soldiers. After the regular ser¬
vice the communion was administer¬
ed and several of the new members
were baptized by sprinkling. Next
Shnday there will be baptism by im
merson.
In his sermon Dr. Talmage said
the day was an important one in the
history of the Tabernacle. “On othi
er days,” said be, “we cast out our
net; to-day we draw it in. On other
days we fight our battles; to-day we
enjoy the victory.”
“ Bhe are these that fly as a cloud
and as the doves to their windows”
were the words of the text, taken
from the eighth verse of the sixtieth
chapter of Isaiah. It is natural, said
the preacher, that w hen a great flock
of people join the church we should
ask “Who are these?” and in the
words of the text I ask the question
this morning. They are redeemed.
They are heirs of immortality. They
are of the blood-washed throng.
Bring garlands and music and a
spirit of consecration to celebrate
this harvest borne.
“There has been a notion among
church people that they must sow
their wild oats. I have noticed that
ninctymine out of every hundred
who sow wild oats live to reap no
other crop. So we rejoice at the com¬
ing of the young.”
The Old Man was There.
From, Puck.
It was dark in the depot one day
in December, when the evening train
came in. An elderly farmer was back¬
ed up against the partition watching
in open-mouth wonder the big puff,
ing engine and the yellow cars as
they discharged their passengers,
when a handsome young girl in a
sealskin cloak, dashed forward, and
throwing herself upon the honest
granger’s manly breast, imprinted a
kiss upon bis sunburned check, and
exclaimed:
“You dear old papa, I knew you
would be waiting for me! And bow
is mother, and bow is John? and—
oh, I’m so glad to get back—and
where’s my trunk? and, oh, papa, you
take the trunk and let’s hurry home!”
The granger was old and dried up
and he had never known what it was
to have a wife, much less a daughter.
Ho mistrusted that the young lady
in the sealskin cloak had made a mis¬
take, bnt instead of stammering and
hawing, he came gallanlly up to the
scratch, and, throwing both arms
around the fair creature, be made up
his mind ty be a father to her, or die
in the effort. Imprinting a kiss, like
the report of a pistol, on her cheek,
he enthusiastically exclaimed*.
“Oh, yer mother’s well, an’ John
an’ Heury (smack) an’ Jane and Su¬
san *smack, smack) and Horace and
Belindy, and Calvin (smack); oh,
they are all smart and hearty, and—
By the time the young lady’s
friends could get to her she had slid
into a stone faint, and they had to
lug her home iu a hacks, while the
aged granger, as he finished the third
round with her outraged lover, and
sauntered out of the depot, leaving
him with a black eye and a ruptured
coat, ehucklcd to himself.
“The old man is getting Jold and
stiff, and careless like, but when any
young females want to play any
games of Copenhagen, they’ll find
him right to time—and I shouldn’t
be s’prisep if it rained fore nine
o’clock. G’lang, Kate.”
Clinging to a Pm.
One of the funniest incidents of
any railroad wreck that I ever saw
and there are always funny things
that one remembers about a railroad
disaster—was that of a man who was
on my train when it ran through a
misplaced switch at Riverside and
collided with a freight train stand¬
ing on the side track. It was a terrible
smash up. Amos McDaniels, the engi
neer, saved his life by jumping from
his engine before it struck the freight
train, Andy McGlenn, the fireman,
was caught between the tauk and
the boiler head of the engine, where
he was held fast, alive, but with bis
legs both crushed and cookad. As
soon as the passengers found that not
one of them was hurt they swarmed
out and began helping to get poor
Andy out of his terrible prison. I
noticed one passenger who worked
like a hero, 'lifting and pulling and
straining to get Andy out, yet all
the time using one hand as if it were
crippled. I noticed it several times,
and paid a good deal more heed to
it than you would expect a man to
under such circumstances; but, don’t
you know, under the most exciting
conditions a man’s mind will hit up¬
on some such little thing and never
let go of it? Well, I noticed that
man never opened his hand to take
hold of whatever he was going to
lift, but put his wrist under it and
kept his thumb.and fingers together.
After we had got Andy out and
they had carried him to the depot I
stood talking with this passenger,
who was as white as a sheet and so
much excited that ho could hardly
put words together.
. “Is your hand crippled?” I asked.
“No,” said he, quite astonished,
and holding it up where I could see
it, he betrayed the fact that all this
time he haTl been clinging with his
thumb and first finger to a pin with
which he was just fastening liismcck
tie down when the collision occurr¬
ed. And one of the funniest parts ol
the whole performance was the fact
that as soon as he held up his hand
and saw the pin he went right on
pinning the necktie down as if noth¬
ing had happened.—Chicago News.
With a History
The old silveV watch belonging to
the widow of James Moore, who was
lynched at Macon, bjis a wonderful
history. It was brought from Scot¬
land years ago, and is of Loudon
make. Its first owner was Robert
Lodge, who ran on the Southwestern
railroad as engineer in the olden days.
Prior to the war Lodge was killed in
an accident near Stewart’s crossing.
The engine left the tract and turned
over, throwing Lodge on a stump
and crushing the life out of him.—
He had on the watch when lie was
killed, and it fell into the hands of
Mrs. Moore, who was the half sister
of Lodge’s wife. When Mrs. Moore
was first married to Jack Kimbrough
the latter wore the watch, and when
he was killed in Baldwin county
some years ago, while trying to ar¬
rest a man "named Ennis, he had the
watch on iris person. The old time
piece was returned to tbc widow,
and was for the second time associa¬
ted with a violent death. Jim Moore
married the widow Kimbrough, and
he wore the old silver watch regulan
ly. After his arrest he still had it
on, but on the night before the mob
took hitn he returned the watch to
his wife, and it became Ponce again
associated with a terrible tragedy.
Some days ago Mrs. Moore placed
the watch in the hands of Lieutenant
Wood to sell for her benefit, as she
is in very stiaightened circumstan¬
ces. Knowing that the old watch
was valueless, except for the old sil¬
ver that was in it, Lieutenant Wood
spoke to Watchman George Henry
about it, and the latter got up a raf¬
fle of 100 chances at 25 ctsa chance.
Lieut. Wood threw the winning num¬
ber,- but sold his throw to Frank
Burke for 25c., and the latter be¬
came possessor of the ancient time¬
piece. He will return the watch to
Mrs. Mooro, and so another link in
its eventful history is completed.

“The Good Old Times-”
Bridgeport Senttncl.
We often hear of the “good old
days of yore.” • Why deprive our
children of the employmentjof those
days? Why not pass a law forbid’
ding steamboats from plowing the
waters, railroads from running on
land, telegraphs from sending mes¬
sages, telephones from being used,
all furnaces, steam boaters, etc., to
be taken out of houses and other
buildings, all grates burning coal to
be taken out, all stoves to be melted
for old iron, all water works in cities
to be left empty; the use of all gas
and other illuminators, except dip¬
ped tallow candies,’ to be disused,
and really go hack to the “good old
times;” say for five years. Then, if
at midnight on a cold, stormy night,
a doctor is wanted, he must be sent
for it.stead of telephoning for him.
If one wished to send a message to
distance, instead of {telegraphing
he must write a letter and send it
by stages to its distant place, and
wait patiently for days or weeks for
the answer, j
When one goes home on a freezing
night he can sit by a wood fire, roast¬
ing ou one side while freezing the
other, and reading by the dim light
of a tallow dip, instead of the blaze
of a gaslight or the more agreeable
light of kerosene. If he undertakes
a journey, instead of getting into
the cars and going where he wishes,
the best he can do is to take a stage
at four times the cost and ten times
the discomfort of the cars. Let these
and other rnedern improvements be
forbidden and “good old days” be
brought back, how long would it be
before an extra session of the legis¬
lature would be demanded to knock
“the good old )days” into splinters,
to restore the much modern days
which we now enjoy and for which
we ought to be most devoutly thank¬
ful?
Supreme Hours.
Detroit Free Press.
They come to us at some time,
hours in which we stand so utterly
alone, as we drink life’s gall.
Hours when he seems so far away,
when his sunlight seems so dim, as
we grope so blindly in this, our more
than midnight darkness of despair,
shut out, as it were, from hope or
happiness, and hedged in by great
blank walls of misery.
Hours when prayer seems a mock¬
ery; when the trill of a bird or the
laugh of achildjis as a dagger thrust
through the heart; when kind welds
are meaningless; when even thought
is agony.
Oh, the pitiful, wandering of the
misery of it all, as with clenched
hands and bowed head, eyes heavy
and hot w'ith tears that will not fall,
a silent cry goes forth, “How long,
oh Lord, how long? and is it w’orth
the while?”
Knocking, knocking, with never
an answer; the hope deferred which
maketh the heart so sick.”
-
Something like sixty years ago
there appeared in Boston an eccem
trie character named Lorenzo Dow.
He professed to be a preacher in reg¬
ular calling, but he was claimed by
no denomination, although he rather
favored the Methodist persuasion.
He was a man of peculiar personal
appearance, very rough m speech,
yet possessed of much originality.
On one occasion he was invited to
fill put pulpit of a J/ethodist church
at the North End, when, after sun
veying his audience quietly for a few
moments, he announced as his text
the words: “Top not, come down!”
His listeners were very much aston¬
ished at his text, and still more at
his sermon, which was a tirade
against the prevailing fashion of
gathering the hair into a high knot
on the top of the head. After the
sermon quite a number of the prin¬
cipal members came to him, saying:
“Mr. Dow, we thought you preach¬
ed from the Bible, and there are no
such words to be found in the book.”
He answered: “Please look at Mat¬
thew xxiv. 17; Let him which is m
the housetop not come down.’ ”
Murderers on the Scaffold
I was on duty in the jail fo-r six
years, and during that time met a
great many criminals and murderers;
the latter were always a pleasant stu¬
dy to me; particularly the negroes.
They are all alike. Until a decisiou
of the case in the trial court there is
no change in their manners or mor¬
als, but when they are once convict¬
ed they become intensely superstiti¬
ous and deeply religious, It does not
matter whether they get a new trial
or the case goes to a higher court, or
what happens; once convicted they
are changed. They devote all their
time to a study of the Bible, and
stop cursing and using profane or
vulgar language, and if you use it in
their presence they will correct you,
and say that you ought not to do it.
They are easily worked on by priests
and become so imbued with the doc¬
trine of the mercy and forgiveness
of Christ that they do not look upon
death with fear. In fact, I believe
that by the day of execution they
want to die. They firmly believe
that just as soon as the breath leaves
their bodies they will go at once to
an eternal life, far happier than the
one they are leaving, and the sooner
they die the sooner they will enjoy
the pleasures of heaven. This is the
reasou they walk so firmly to the
scaffold; and not because they aro
given liquor. I’d like to see any man
made so drunk that be would give
up life as they do, unless he was too
drunk to walk.—Coroner’s Clerk in
Globe-Democrat.

The Meanest Thief Yet
“It is a pretty mean thief who will
swindle a pool country preacher with
a large family and a small salary;
but I once knew a man mean enough
to do that by means of a bogus mar*
riage. He came to a small country
town jn which my church was locat¬
ed. This was in New York state.
Near me lived a Baptist minister who
had a hard struggle to make both
ends moot. A man and a woman
drove up to his house one evening
and were married. The man had a
large roll of bills ar.d pretended that
ho was looking fora $5 note among
them, but they were all for $100.
The fellow was profuse in his apolo¬
gies; said he was sorry that he had
no small bills, and did not want to
go away without giving the minister
a fee. Was it possible for the pastor
to get one of the large bills changed?
“The poor clergyman, eager to get
a cash $5 marriage fee, which was
something unusual with him, went
to his little hoard and gave the man
$95. The next day the clergyman
found that the $100 bill was a coun¬
terfeit and he \vas never able to find
the swindler. The marriage was a
put up job, and about the most con¬
temptible trick I ever knew or heard
of.”—Philadelphia Record.

How He Began to Chew
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
“Is it not funny how many men
begin, when boys what they know
they will regret when grown?” ask¬
ed a friend of Commodore Stephen
so on o’change other day, a? that well
known gentleman aimed a volume of
tobaceo juice at a knot on the floor.
“What do you refer to?” asked
the commodore.
“Tobacco chewing, of course,” was
the answer.
“Well, I didn’t begin in that way.
It was a hair of the same dog in my
case. I was working in a tobacco
factoty, and the smell of the tobac¬
co leaves used to make me deathly
sick every day. Finally one old hand
suggested that in the morning when
I come to work I put a piece of to¬
bacco leaf in my mouth as an anti¬
dote. I accepted the suggestion and
I was never tobacco sick again. I
presume many a man has become a
slave in the same way.”
