The suggestioti of Mr Hanks that the bicycle music box would tie in great fa vor with serenaders doesn't suggest hall the possibilities in that direction. Without any particular effort a young man could manage to serenade three or four young ladies separately or at the same lime if he could manag- to pi them to windows on different sides of the house at the sam ; time. All he would have to do would be to get up a good sprinting gait and circle right about the bouse. He would get around so ijuiekly that notie of the ipartctlc of girls would miss him, while with the music box go ing at a two minute clip, the Joung man would simply draw a circle of muic about that particular house. Hut the limited bicycle is not liinitid to that, for it would certainly be employ ed to elihatice the s veetness of love's mg dream. In these days of double bicycle.-, and wilh the warm nights and the full moon, the attachment of a lon-ic box to a bicycle is quite sufficient to make an ordinary seniiuiental young man daft.

He was sitting on the front porch of his fine old laruihouse this afternoon, when he told the following strange story : Last Thursday afternoon about ;" o'clock, while fishing for bass from a boat at the head of Sambo Rift, in the Dela ware river, I was suddenly startled by seeing a huge white cloud arise Iroin the stream near the Jersey shore, from which there emerged the strains uf sweet music s strange shape and the way in which it arose, in the form of a cross, riveted uu to my seat. As the cloud reached a licioht of about fifty feet it parted in the middle, and there, in the center, was the form of a beautiful woman. "Her sweet face was radiant with a strange light, her beautiful golden hair fell in heavy rolls over her shoulders, and :i shining crown of silver adorned her brow. The figure, which was of natural size, was robed iu a garment of white, which reached to her feet. As (he appa rition arose aud II lated over the 1'ela- ware, I heard sweet songs and niuic fiom overhead.

Here is the list : Hive Me Your Family liitle anJ I Yntir llisinrv. AtUiclions do not spring out ol'dusl; do not be impatient wilh them; we need something to sullen this hard life. 0 if it were all buying, selling, getting gain, outrunning one another in a race for wealth in which I he racers take no time to record themselves, there would bo no gardens on the l'ai(,of the earth, no places consecrated to floral beauty, no houses built for music, no churches set up for prayer. Hut affliction helps to keep us right; affliction helps lo tiling us to our knees. Poverty says: "Think, man; think." Affliction opens the Bible at the right places. For you, strong man, with the radiant face and full pocket, it would open upside down and at nothingj But you, broken hearted mother; you child of sickness; you, orphan and lonely one, your Bible falls open always at the right place.

I have been told that a great many cler gymen are much troubled by the mem bers of their congregation confiding tu them their love troubles. One well known and much admired prophet and evangelist is so much bewildered by the quantity and quality of these confidences that he uow makes it a rule nut to see any member of the fair sex in the vestry, unless she states beforehand what she wants to consult hitu about. One day however, when lie bad preached a very eloquent sermon, a sad-eyed lady mem ber of the congregation forced her way into his house on the ilea of urgent business, and iu spite of his most discouraging manner, insisted on in forming him, with tears and sobs, that she had fallen hopelessly in love with acer taiu ecntlcuiau of her acquaintance, and that she did not know what would become of her iu life unless he could be persuaded to return her affection. The reverend gentleman rose impatient ly, and exclaimed that he should advise the lady to buy a bicycle and go out for a long ride every day until she was cured The damsel went away weeping, and say that alas! he did not understand that her love fever was iueurable! The clergy man thought notuoreaduutthisintcrvicw, which he had looked upon as being one of the disagreeable details of his profession; but a month later, as he was walking along the street, he met a protty, bloom ing, bright-eyed girl, who stopped him, and exclaimed, with enthusiasm: "I eau never he sufficiently grateful to you for your excellent advice; I have acquired a bicycle, aud go long rides every day, and now I have uo time to think of Mr , and don't care for hira at all." Lovelorn damsels please N. B , for I think that the licv. Mr. Astute was a wise and wholesome-minded adviser. If he had taken her confession seriously she might still have been suffering from on uurcquiled attachment instead of being a happy, merry girl. To me it is only one more proof that there is no cure like (in door exorcise lor u bruised heart. From (ieutlcwoinen. A dispatch from Tucson, Ari , says: "Dr. II. M. Smith, of Ilagarstown, Md., and it party of mining men who have just returned from the Ripscy mines, re port the fall of an immense meteor, which struck the desert about two miles north of Hall's and about the same distance south ol' the Rifsey mines. It fell on Sunday night, August Hth, about !) o'clock. The men of the party who were camp ed at Hall's say the concussion was ter rible. Cupboards were upset, dishes thrown down and the earth trembled like a leaf, The noise was like that of many can non fired simultaneously. The air for miles around was filled with sulphurous gas, and the meteor come down red and smoking. It covers about two acres of ground, appearing to be embedded a hundred feet in the earth, and now forms a great mountain in the desert. A herder's hut and corral were in the meteor's path. The herder and wife and three children, all Mexicans, together with about 1,21)0 sheep, went down under the mighty mass. Major Thomas Hayes, of Louisville, Ky., who was of the party, was overcome by the grandeur of the phenomenon. "It was the most brilliant, grand and awe-inspiring sight I ever witnessed," said the major. "It is simply beyond the power of tougue or pen to accurately describe it. The heat from the meteor is so intense that it will be several days before the mound can be examined close- ly-" A large party lefc here last evening to view the wonder and to get further par ticulars. It is about sixty miles north of Tucson and about forty miles from Globe. DOX'TS 1'OIt THE EYKS. OUTTINU SEmOCS. OASTOniA. "So you have broken your engage ment, Ethel?"

Don't allow a cold wind to strike the eyes. Don't try to do eyework with the light shing in the face. Don't have colored shades on the mips; use white or grouud glass. Don't go directly from a warm room into u cold raw atmosphere. Don't open the eyes under water in bathing, especially in salt water. Don't let any strong light, like that from electricity, shino directly into the eyes. Don't strain the eyes by reading, sew ing, or any like occupation, with an im perfect light. Don't bathe inflamed eyes witli cold water; that which is as warm as can be borne is belter. Don't sleep opposite a window in such a manner ihat a ttrong liebt will stiike eyes on awakening. Dou't, above all, have the children sleep si that the morning sun shall shine iu their faces to arouse them.

( Alhany Argus, ) Some of the letters thai Mayor Thacher gets are eiiriosilies in their way People from out of tuwn who wish to find out nything in the city of Albany invariably write letters to the mayor. It doesn't make any difference what the information lesired relates to, the mayor, llieyinitiK, ouiilit to know. A letter was received from a negro away- down south, who, Mr. Monahan says, has been dead for thirty years not literally a corpse, but deceased as far as his grip on hustling, progessive nineteenth century life was concerned. This man believes that slavery is still an institution in this great laud, and is ignorant of the glorious tact that master's whip hasn't cracked lor thirty yeas. He never heard of the Pres ident's proclamation, never knew that the North had whipped the South, and that a million lives had been sacrificed to free the slave. In his letter to the mayor this colored man asked to be brought North and sold back into slavery. There is no question that he foun d it impossible to live in the South, and longed again for the irresponsibility from self-support of slavery days which he thought still flourished in the South.

When the minister caught the little loy fishing instead of being at school the parson asked the lad what his mother did when he ran away like that an I gave hi r the slip. "G.vi tue the slipper." A good many liustinnds, and even thousands, uf long suffering husbands, can bear sorrowful testimony to the fact that this is the sort of catechism the wives of their bosoms subject them to ev cry time they put on their hat to g ) out iu the evening: 'Where are you going ?" "Oil, I'm just going out for a few niin tiles " "Where?" "(Hi, nowhere in particular." "What for?" 'Oh, nothing." "Why do you go, then?" "Well, I want to go; that's why." "Do you have lo go?" "I don't know that I do?" "Why do you go, then?" " Because." "Because what?" "Well, simply because." "Going to bo goneloug?" "No." "How long?" "I don't know." "Anybody goiug with you?" "No." "Well, it's strauge that you can't be content to stay at home for a lew min utes. Don't you bo guuc long will you?' "No." "See that you don't." This is one reason why so many mar riages are a dead, flat fizzle and failure. Husband "How do you like the Tiew?" Wilh (wilh eeslacy) "Oh, I am speechless!'' Husband ' Well, if that be so, I thiuk wu had here for a while.' better may I am well aware that a man who arises in this the latter part of the nineteenth century und proclaims the end of the world is at baud is generally regaided as a fool, and ridicule and contumely arc his portion. We live in an age of facts. No state tnent not susceptible of proof merits serious attention. Perhaps we are too cruelly analytical. But it is better to, for truth then reigns supreme. When 1 proclaim the fast approaching end of the world I do so on the authority of the very foundation of our religious belief, the Bible. There are two theories of the millen nium promised us by Scripture. The post uii.lcnniuui theory is that advanced by those who believe the preaching of the Gospel by the various churches will ultimately evangelize the world and bring about thccondiiions that wi.l enable the Saviour to conduct his millennium reign of a thousand years on the earth. The prc-millenium theory is that which 1 dt sire to present as beiug the one taught in the Scripture of eternal truth. But as things are now and all admit that both in Kurope and America the future is, from a material point of view, darker than ever before they will get worse and worse until the end comes. One of the most important signs just preceding the end of the world is the one spoken of as the prophecy of Daniel re garding the abomiuatioii of desolation. This sign (or signs) began when the daily sacrifice was (or shall be) taken away (Dan., 12-11). This daily sacrifice was taken away duiing the World's Fair, when the Sabbath law was abrogated by our courts and ratified by all nations rep resented at that institution. Thus the daily sacrifice was taken away and the abomination of desolation set iu, which was to last 1,200 days (Dan , 12-11). Those days will end the coming Vt inter. o cannot know the day or hour (Mat., 21-Illi), but we may approximate the week or month, perhaps. The abomination of desolation is upon us, and may be seen or known by the suffer ing aod starving nations of the catlh, the result of the hoarding of the millions uf money or riches for the last days, spoken of iu the fifth chapter of James and Rev clatiou 18. This desolation is au abomination to God, as it is the result of man's oppres sion in his rulings on finance, so that the poor canuot get a sufficiency of the abundance Provided by the Lord; grana ries bieakiug dowu and no money to buy with. The antediluvian wulid was des troyed by water. Noah aud his family- did not belong to the world, or they would have been destroyed. In the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew, at the tweuty first verse, we read : "For then shall he great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, uo, nor ever shall be." Aud it is also clear Ihat the world will be lis own destroyer. The prophecies concern ing the seeund comiug of our Lord began with the seventh from Adam, Fnoch who declared that ( linst would come with ten thousand saiuts to execute judgmeut ou the wicked. The prophecy was uttered four thousand years before His first advent. In the twenty -fourth chapter of Mat thew may be found many prophetical signs of His second comiug, nearly all of which are fulfilled. The propagation of of the Christian religion through tin medium of oliurch missionaries is th direct fulfillment of one of the prophecies contained iu Matthew, tweuty fourth chapter and fourteenth verse: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached iu all the world for a witness unlo all ualions. And then shall the end come." And further in Revelations: "And I saw another angel tly in (lie niid-t ol Heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to every uation, kindred and tongue and people." And still further to cite Rjvolatinnv. "And the ange which I saw stand upon the sea and earth swore by llitu that liveth that these should be true no longer." Nineveh was overthrown and no lives lost. The authorities were Nineveh, aud confessed their overthrow at the preach ing ol Jonah. Jerusalem was the au thoritica of that city. They kept Christ on the outside of the walls. He would gladly have taken her children (or sub jects) under His wings, but the authori ties (Jerusalem) would not allow it. He did not ask to take Jerusalem under His wings (Matt., 211-37.) This world is to be destroyed by fire, What is this world? is the stupendous question. Allow my pen to answer. backed by the sacred Scriptures of eter nal truth. The money power that con trots the nations of the earth is that that is to be destroyed by fire (Rev., 18-18,) but no lives lost necessarily in the conflict (Rev., 18 111). The authorities of the world will stand and see her destruction, I STEEL WEB PICKET LAWN FENC .... . ., iii I For Yard, Ornater? wid Omvi?
