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.

nuw looked upon with suspicion by his
neighbors, aud there are a lew who iiies
tiou his veracity.
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.
The figure bore a striking resem
blance to portraits of the Virgin Mary,
and was so dazzling in its brightness that
I placed my hands before my eyes.
When 1 recovered from my astonish
ment the vision had vanished."

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

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.

THE FISHEKHOY'S LUCK.
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.
Don't expect to get another pair of
eyes, when these have been destroyed uy
neglect or ill-use; but give them lair treat

the end.

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.

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

Such was the language of the old com
moner, lion ihailueus Mevens, when
in 1808 he was visited hy a clergymau
who said Mr. Stevens: "It is no idle
curiosity that has induced me to call on
you, but a desire to know your sentiments
on the subject of religion. Should you die
in this attack, what shall wo say about
iur faith in the liible?" Raising him
If in bed, adjusting his gown und cap,
he said: The liible, the liible take that
away, and tlieie is nothing left." l'rcss
ing the ,iicstiou as to a personal interest
and experience, he said: "I do not pro-
tohavc religiou in that way, but my
old Baptist mother bad il, and I believe
in my mother." Think ol it mothers;
this statesman now Hearing the close of
life, as he contemplates the future, goes
back to bis early training and siys, "I
believe in my mother."
The (plaint John Randolph said:
"When I try to make myself au infidel,
I fancy I feel the hand of my mother on
my head and her voice sounding in my
ear as she taught me to say, 'Our Father,
who art in heaven.' "
