You see, w hen we got ready to go to yrayer meeting l:st night, Pa told me to go up stairs and get hini a handkerchief, and to drop a little perfumery on it, and put it in the tail pocket of his black coat. I did it, I guess I got hold of the wrong bottle of perfumery. There was a label on the turnery bottle that 'Jamaica Rum,' and I thought it was the same as Hay Rum, and I put on ;i whole lot.Just afore I put the handkerchief in pa's ' pocket, I noticed a pack of cards on the stiindliaf Pa used to play hi-Io-jack with Ma evenings when he was so sick he couldn't go down town, before he got 'ligion, and I wrapped'tho hankerchief around the pack of cards and put them in his pocket." I don't know what made me do it, ami Pa don't, eith er, 1 guess, 'cause he told Ma this morning I was 'possessed of a devil.

He said he was thankful to the broth ers and sisters, particularly the sis ters for all they 'bad done to make his burden light, and hoped to' meet them all in'.

Joseph Bowen, a Bap-, tist minister from Tenn essee to a reporter. .Then you could not have travelled much in the back woods sections of the' south aud west.- I remember seeing one at Randolph Tennessee, in June, 1877. Randolph is in Tippon county, on the Mississippi bluffs I hail to stay over Sunday, and learning .that there was a meeting at Salem Church, six miles away, 1 borrowed a horse aud rode to the, place. The church, built of logs, with the cracks daub ed, sat back about one hundred yards from the road in the middle of a grove. Inside the seats were already well filled, and every head in the church turned as I entered. I shrank into a corner and took a seat as quickly front there were as possible., In ' itw bpi.fhes I made' of poplar, but the supply falling short the demand had been 1 ,t . hv i.binks bud on boxts.

Ashe warm, ed to his work he walked rapidly from side to side of the pulpit, stop ping occasionally, as in a thuuder- ing voice he warned his unconverted hearers that they were 'hanging , over hell fire by a single hair, to deal resounding blows-to the Bible with his fist by way of emphasis-1 When be concluded he took a long ! crash towl and girded it around his j waist. At the side 'of the '.pulpit was a bucket of water and a nog gin. If. you don't happen to know what a noggin is I may explain that it is a small tub a size larger than a j i.i.'rin. This one had been con-1 structed by sawing a whiskey keg j i le.ir When the Kieacher com- i 111 llllll meneed l.ouring the water into it I an old gentleman iu the amen cor-1 er commenced pulling off his bro j 'ans and rolling up- the bottom ofi bis trousers. "Will some brother raise a hymiif asked the minister, and the broth er, who now had his shoes off and was engaged with his home knit cotton socks, .raised one; '1 Am a soldier of the cross," and as the congregation- joined he put both feet in the noggin, which had been sel before him. The preacher squat ted down in front of him, rubbed his hands around over the feet and nit and down his shins half w'ay to the knee. When the brother thought they were w ashed enough he held them up out of the water, and the parson wiped them on the crash towel. Then the parson sat dow n, having pulled off his shoes had his feet washed by the broth er to w hom he'had just miiiistcred. All who wish to join in the ceremo ny had taken possession of the front seats mourners benvhes. Among those who had gone, up had been the portly sister by whom I sat. The noggin came to her next and she washed the feet of the sister next to her, having her own wash ed iu turn. When all the feet on the trout seat fiad been bathed, the the water in the noggin was empti ed ont at the back door and a fresh supply brought in from the well near the church. The noggin passed around from brother to brother and from sister to sister for an hour, and in that time-1 saw more varie ties ot feet than I have ever seen 1efore or since. St. Louis lit pub lican.

Doctor Tal mage said: Barzillai or the text was a very old man, a very kimPniau, r. very affectionate man, a very patriotic man, a very wealthy man of the tenth century before Christ. Suggestive of our modern philanthropist Peter Cooper of the nineteenth century after Christ. I say, there has been many a man in the century B.C. typical of in some men in the centuries A. D. when l,see. this Barzillai of the text going out to his reward, it makes me think of the modern phi lanthropist who was id ways ready to make restitution in times of ne. cessity whether it were individual, municipal, or national. The sun of his white locks and the beneficence of his genial face have come to their omen. His influence halting not a second for the obsequies to be finished move right on w ithout any change. Deatli is multiplication instead of subtraction and the mar ble of the tomb instead of being the goal at tlie end of the race is only I tfhe .starting, point for a grander career. Why so many good people with hats off in reverence before man who never wielded a sword, or made masterly oration, or who sat in Senatorial places! He was not a king, nor a lord, nor a governor, nor a president. The learned titjk L. L. D. bestowed bv a University did not stick to him one minute, The oreflx of Mr., the suffix of Esquire seemed always 'an incongru "3' when connected wun ins name, Before all Christendom, he has been and for aUthe ages to come he will " l'laiu Peter Cooper.; Why all the ags at half mast! why parlia ,.,,.f ;.!. i..liif Iaiic tf lroisl;itnri I .....1 ni."niin,.; tllOl I UllllllVli tUUIIV li. PETER COOPER was the father of many philanthro pfes. There have been larger dona tions for the public good since his great munificence of 1857,, but that great gift of Cooper Institute has brought forth scores and hundreds of nhilaiithrooies and charities ail over the land. You must reineni- t,or when that six story temple of instruction on Third and Fourth avenues was built at an expense of .c.;o,(K)0, and then endowed with sir0,000, you must remember that ju (hose days HK,O0O was more than 500,000 'now, aud while in our days millionaires are so common we hardly stop to. look at I them, vou must remember that in those times a .millionaire was a rare spec tacle. Why, Stephen Girard and John Jacob Astor of olden times would almost excite the sympathy of our modern railroad ' magnates. The 800,000 expended in building and endowing Cooper Institute were more than $5,000,000 now. There have been larger gifts i: our time which have not produced merethau. a fraction of the good produced by thiit munificence of 1857. That gift brooded othercharities, that bene ficence mothered hundreds of edu cational institutions; that generosity gave glorious suggestion to many a man whose fortune was held with the iron grip of selfishness.- Avarice kills more that war. Look at the great philanthropist at 92 years of age dying of a cold caught in going out to look after the prosperity of a benefieient institution which he 'himself had founded, with its 2,500 people per day in the libraries and reading rooms, L',000 students in its evening schools. Peter Cooper also impresses us with the best way to settle this old quarrel between - , CAPITAL AND LABOK. This altercation lietween the rich and the poor. There are two ways in which this quarrel between 'capi tal and liVbor will never le settled. One is by the violent suppression of the laboring classes and the other is by the maltreatment of rich people. This is last getting to be the age of dynamite. The rich are becoming more arrogant and the poor more unreasonable. I prescribe' for this evil the largest kind of allo pathic dose of Peter Cooperism. Who ever heard of dynamite under Cooper Institute? who ever looked for a keg of powder in the cellar of Peter Cooper's house! In the times of great public, ex citement when public men have had to have their houses guarded by soldiers, no sentinel has ever-stood at that man's door; and there has not been a time in the last fort 3-' years that the plainest man in New York or Brooklyn could not ring that man's door bell and go in and shake hands with Peter Cooper. The poorest man with boil and bricks on his shoulder, climbing the ladder on a wall never begrudged the philanthropist his ride in an easy carriage. When the opulent men of America and England and Rus sia anil all other lands skall stretch out to the laboring classes and the suffering classes, as kind and as genial a hand as that of Peter Cooper, that will terminate dyna mite. Peter Cooicr also impresses us with the new style of monument al and epitaphieal commemoration. If the executors of Peter Cooper should expend '$20,000,000'--for', a mausoleum in Greenwood, it would not make him so well remembered as that building on Third and Fourth avenues New York. What would le a monument of aberdeen granite compared with' a monument built out of the intellect and immor tal souls of men and women! I like the i vthm of that verse w ritten by some anonymous poet: "When I am dead and gone, - And thev mourn upon mv breast, Say not that he did ill or well, Only, he did his liest . P.. X. A Log Cabin Stack Fall of Money. An old log cabin, located about a mile south of the city in which an aged darkey named Joseph Howie recently4' hungup the fiddle and laid dow n the bow," has come into con siderable prominence lately among the colored people on account of the numerous finds of monev that had been hidden avray here and there throughout the house by the old; man,- The darkies had found up to last evening a total of 57, all in paper money of the old issues. A roll of live, ten, twenty-live and fif ty cent pieces, snch as were in com. mo'n. use just after the war, were yesterday brought to postmaster Jenkins who redeemed Hie shin plasters at par This roll contained -?5 and was found let ween two rocks in the chimney. Nearly all tlie money found is of the old issue and must have been hidden away by the old darkey long years ago. The news of the discovery traveled fast among uncle Joseph's kin, who are found to be legion and they've had a lively scramble over the old cabin, and they have no idea of stopping short of. tearing the old house down ami sifting the debris. The money redeemed by post master Jenkins has a curious look and recalls the memories of those of us who were ever fortunate' enough to handle it, back to the old days. The postmaster pays dollar for dol lar for the money. Charlotte "Journal-Observer."' t Mad Dog at Caret. The Presbyterian 'congregation, of Davidson College had their nerves so badly unstrung last Sun day night, that it would take a first clii s piano tuner a whole 'month to string 'em up again, -and it was all caused .bv a church-going mad dog. It seems -that on last. Friday a mad dog made its appearance in David" son College, and bit a number of town dogs, and of course the people were considerably disturbed in con sequence and all were on the look out for mad dogs, Sunday., night the people' had ' gathered in the Presbyterian chapel to attend di vine service, which was being con ducted by Dr. Lattimer. There was it large congregat ion pieseiit.among them being many' ladies and Dr. Lattimer was just reading a chap ter . in"" the' Bible w hen a howling, yel 'ing canine burst into the church right , iu the .midst of the terrified congregation. The scene that fol lowed may be imagined. Dr. Lat: timer stopped in the middle. of a sentence,. and in a second was viewing the scene from his perch on top of the pulpit, encouragingly, but somewhat excitedly, catling upon the congregation to "kill it, kill it!' The men and women stood on the top of the benches, and there was some pretty loud shouting and screaming done. One of the stu dents present,, who hail evidently heeled himself for a combat with mac1 dogs, pulled out a1 pistol, and made the interior of the sanctum echo with the sounds of battle. Two shots were tired at the animal, Ikith wounding him severely, and dis abling him, when the men fell upon the dog with sticks and quickly dis patched him. The carcass was dragged from the church, but it was some time before everylodv settled down again, and many of them, iudeed, had no ears for preaching the balance of the night. After the quiet had !eeii restored Dr. Lattimer resumed the 'service, and was not interrupted again un til the close. The dog. .did not bite any onein-the church, but many would just, as soon have lieen bitten as to le scared so badly. The ladies stood the ordeal remarkably' well, only one of them going off in a faint, but it might have been worse had uot the voice of the .pastor stand ing ou the pulpit lieen heard iiltove all the din and tumult.
