occured iu Robersonville for soine
* time. Tlie Grimes' residence is
popularly known as the Keel House
, —it is now known as the house of
hospitality. Judgment suspended
on payment of cost, was the verdict
of the jury in this case.
t The dance at the Taylor ware
house last Thursday night was
highly pleasing in every respect
' .and was participated in by all the
town folks and and quite a number
• from the country. Formality was
thrown to the winds and the long
f pent-tip spirits of the young people
see mi d let loose. That slick article
- 'iu the lances, W. W. Keel was
s master of ceremonies, and in fine
trim he was, which means that the
f dance was lively. The music was
. better than usual, which being in
terpreted, means that the waltz
( and two-step was more popular
, than usual. The jury, having
been out until half-past-twelve, re
turned the verdict, "a jolly good
' time."

Faith and Worka.
One's faith is often wonderfully
strengthened when some one unites
it with works. We aro told that 0110
hard winter, when siekneeß came to
the poorly paid pastor of a certain
New England church, his flock de
termined to meet at his house and
offer prayers for the speedy recov
ery of the sick ones and for the ma
terial blessings upon tho pastor's
family. While one of the deacons

hold there was a loud knock at the
door. When the door was opened,
a stout farmer boy was seen. What
do you want, hoy ?" asked one of
the elders. "I'vebrought pn'spray
ers," replied the boy. ''Brought
your jus players! What do you
mean "f" "Yep, brought his prayers,
an' they're out in tho wagon. Just
help me, an' we'll get 'em in." In
vent igation disclosed the fact that
"pa's pravors" consisted of pota
toes, flour, bacon, corn meal, tur
nips, apples, warm clothing and a
lot*of jellies for the sick ones. The
prayer meeting adjourned in short
order.—liural New Yorker.
Wiaa Man Change Their Mlnde.
At Oxford university tho late
Professor Ritchie was a fuvorite stu
dent of Professor Jowett, and dur
ing the progress of Jowott's transla
tion of "The Republic" ho asked
Ritchie's advice regarding a difficult
pnfsage. Tho young scholar with
diffidence gave his opinion, with
sufficient reasons, us he thought, to
back it; but the master was obdu
rate and held an opposite view. The
two scholars parted for the night
without coming to an agreement,
but in the morning Ritchie hurried
to Professor Jowett to say that he
now saw his own mistake and that
the master was right. "Oh, well,"
was Jowett's reply, "I, too, have
been considering the matter and
have translated the passage accord
ing to your view, and I will make
no change- now."
Why fhe Didn't Shout.
Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead of
Fituburg is fond of telling stories
at his own expense. When he was
rector of the Church of the Nativ
ity at South Bethlehem, Pa., he ac
quired a convert for the Episcopal
church in the person of a Methodist
Borneo who was much given to con
tributing to the church service* by
interjecting "Amon" and "Alleluia.
He explained to the good woman
that such ejaculations were not cus
tomary in the Epkcopal church,
and she sat gravely through a ser
mon on dignity and decorum in pub
lic worship. Afterward the bishop
thanked her for restraining her fer
vor.
"No need to thank me," retorted
the ex-Methodist. "You didn't say 1

How cross t io officers always wore
When any one oa their books died!
I What could they expect, anyway?
I They knew death wns constantly hov
j erlng over every one. And how tuuil

Ilemarkable, Indued, that so gloomy
a business could be carried on so cheer

were uncommonly smiling anil nice,
waxed fat with years and showed no

Lena flapped nt n particularly of

Ah, he was coming now! No. Why,

was a handsome mother. Her romping
boy of Ave years broke from her hand,
