1'# .FLURRY IN CHURCH'.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 1(1.—.:1
flurry wits created here yesterday
by an ocew•rence in the AieKt,n,lree
Methodist chun:h, Rev. Dr. W.A.
Chandler, the pastor, had delivered
a bitter incentive against the stage,
in which lie impugned the habits of
vIr‘many of its votaries. Emma Abbott,
the noted actress,was in the audience
and at the cole•'usion of the sermon
arose and said that she lead been an
the stage since she was eight years
of age, .aid had always tried, con-
scientiously and to the best of her
bility, to do her duty before God
at all tunes, and that she would
defy -anyone in the world to say any-
thing against her fair name. There
was a ripple of applause,after which
Mr Chandler said :•—` I will not
undertake to reply to the lady, as
she is a lady,but such a performance
is more suited in the theater than in
the house of God.'
THE LAY OF A LOST
MINSTREL.
Sad was the song that the miu-
strel sung,in the Light of the waning
moon,and his voice was cracked and
his knees were sprung, and his eyes
far out of their sockets hung, and
he cowled a "dirge in a foreign
tongue,and his lyre was out of tune.

HOMESPUN HINTS.
A recent address by ltev. Dr,
Collyer to some college students has
met with praise from The Norfolk
Virginian, which says :
Dr. Collyer remarked th•tt he bad
worked on a farts, carried a hod,
hod horses, broke stone on a turn-
pike, reaped and cradled grain, dug
a well, cut wood- and preached ser-
mons that nobody wanted to hear.
His wonderful succuss had been ac -
laved by pure grit and honest in-
ustry. You must dig down to
ard-pan,be said,to lay a foundation
o fatne and fortune. His aphorisms
ay be grouped as follows :
Work is good medicine. •
A man's host friends are his ten
fingers.
Society says one thing,and nature
says another.
Any kind of an honest job is bet-
ter than no job at all.
Take a dollar a day for your work
if you can get no more.
Have a reserve force that will
come out when you need it.
The honest pian who dies poor is
rich if he only hold his own.
Only those who make clean mo-
ney and do clean things win success.
A good ,day's work at what you
can best do is the hard -pan to which
all must come.
When country boys come to the
city if they can only hold on to the
old sweet ways they can defy the
world.
Sleep eight ]tours out of the
twenty=four, eat three meals a day
and walk on the sunny side of the
way.,
Keep your grip on the hard -pan
of principle of good conduct, and
you will be men of good name and
good fortune.
\Vhen a boy fills a house with bugs
he is all right, provided he don't
run after humbugs. He has the
making in him•of a very great na-
turalist.
A good farmer is better than a
poor doctor, and a good horseshoer
is bettor than a post bishop.
he. scraped his lyre in the damp and
fog, and sung of a fairy who drove a
frog, and held a court in a somber
bog, by the light of a midnight sun. h
No fairies for ine,'I softly said, 'so, d
singer, you'll change your tune ; you h
must sing a ballad of death instead, t
of ghosts in purple, and ghosts in m
red, of regions where wander the
a K, phantom deari,and.there are no stars
or moon.'
He tuned his harp to a dismal
lay, that chilled all the blood I own-
ed, and he suug, `There's a land in
the.far• away, where never is gleam-
ing the dight of day, where the gob=
line damp and the specters stay, and
the wind with their shrieks is toned.
The ghost of the pallid dude is
there, bereft of its" gilded cane ; it
has no oil for its yellow hair, it has
no glasses to eye the fair, and it can-
not stand on the street and stare, so
the dude is bowed in pain. The
dude is chained to a sad -eyed ghost,
that used to be wild for gore ; that
followed the teaching of Spies and
— --- Moat, and tried_ the law anti the
courts to roast, and was later strung
to a towering post, and clamored for
b od no more.' I loosed the dog on
t minstrel there, and I fired my
gu n the damp ; and pieces of harp
flew in the air, and stogy boots and
was of hair, and all that was left
of e ie minstrel fair, was rolled in a
postage-stamp.—Lincoln,Neb.,State
Journal.
KIN DNESS AMPLY RE.
f WARDED.
From the Memphis Avalanche.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept.—A. pretty
little romance has just culminated
in Raburn County. At the base of
Tiger Mountain, half a mile off the
main road leading to Clayton, there
v lives a small farmer named George
W. Dillard, Mr Dillard is about
60 years of age, living with his wife
and two sons,the latter aged respect-
ively 30 and 25.
..Early last summer Mr Dillard
cus
'went to his neighborhood post• office, wo
whore he found awaiting him aletter
covered over with postmarks, which
denoted that it had travelled a long
way to reach its destination. The
superscription was written in a
,familiarhand,hut one which he had
not seen in a generation. He tore
the seal and read the missive,eand,
sure enough, foetid it to be from his
wife's brother, whom he had seen
last in 1849.
At that time James McCurry
was a young man., as was also Geo.
'W, Dillard. The news had reached
Georgia of the wonderful gold dis-
• coveries in California. Young
Georgians who had gone there' had
written back glowing accounts of
the fortunes which were made. The
descriptions had the effect of draw-
ing still others towards the great
Eldorado.
Among those who were full of
the excitement were McCrary and
Dillard. They had perfected all
arrangements to go, and were bidd•
ing the family good -by when Dillard
faltered. The tearful eyes of Mc -
Curry's youngest sister touched his
heart, especially as she was weeping'
for him and not for her brother.
Throwing down the bundle he held
in his hand, he would stay if the
girl would marry him:---•T'o-this she
cheerfully agreed. ,So Dillard re-
mained a Georgia farmer,wbile Me -
Curry jumped into the stage coach
and was borne away.
Since that time he bad never been
heard of. It was with mingled feel-
ings, therefore, that Dillard started
tdri'ead tho letter from his old com-
rade.. The letter was a soiled one.'
McCurry stated that be had worked
against adverse fortune, delaying
writing to the folks until he could
strike it rich, but every year found
him striking it poorer, and now old,
feeble and poor, his great wish was
loolc once more upon his native
1Ia; that he could not do so unless
, he was sent money enough upon
which to return. Mr Dillard read
the letter to his wife and sons. ' We
must send him the money,' said the
old man, so a cow and a mule were
sold, and the money went on its
mission across the continent,
Several months brought another
letter in which the old man express
ed his gratefulness for the kindness
dons 'lint, Int he was too sick to
travel then. After that no more
%v'as heard from him until last Sat -

A story is,. told of a lazy Nan-
tucket shopkeeper who was 'not in-
clined to give up' his personal cern-
fort or eltse. Whenever he saw a
tanner enter the front door , .he
uld call out from his chair
' Well, what is it; what is it ? because
perhaps I haven't got it.' On one
occasion a customer wished to buy a
pail, of which there was a line hang-
ing from the ceiling, and enquired
the price. The shopkeeper, without
getting out of his chair, designated
the price with his foot, saying :
That is 50 cents, and that is 62e
cents,' etc. ` Well,' said the custom-
er, ` I will take one of those,' point-
ing to the pail he wished to buy.
The storekeeper did not stir, and a
wave of distress seemed to be pass-
ing over biro. Presently, with an
air of great perplexity, he said
No; I won't sell it, for I shall only
have to buy another.'

COFFINS OF PAPER.
Here is a very cheap style of
coffin,' remarked a manufacturer of
such articles to a Mail and Express
reporter. ` It is the latest thing
Out, and is really quite popular.'
It feels as though it were made
of paper. How do , ou make them
so light ?'
` It is made of paper,' answered
the manufacturer ; ` compressed
paper. It is cheaper than wood can
be pressed into shape, is more dur-
able and can be made much more
quickly and easily. The veneering
is of another piece of paper, very
thin, which is painted to resemble
wood, by machinery. When the
coffin is put together it is varnished
and trimmed, and then it is ready
for occupancy.'
How did you happen to invent
it "
I didn't invent it, but almost
anyone ought to havedoneso. Paper
has been used for car wheels for
years past. Doors are now made cf
the same substance. Two thick
paper boards stamped and moulded
into panels and glazed together with
gln'e and potash, and then .rolled
through ho:svy loners, aro coming
into use. They are better than
wood, in that they clo not shrink,
crack or warp. They are made teat-
terproof with tt mixture.'

THE COST OF FINE PIANOS
The (one subject of which pian
dealers and piano manufacturers an
workmen in piano factories have bee
talking for the past few days is th
piano said to be for Mr Henry
G
Marquand, xith five figures followin
the dollar mark in the invoice thus
$46,050, No such price as $40,95
was ever paid for a piano before, bu
no prophet will venture to say that
no one will ever pay so much again
What do you think about [such a
piano? asked the reporter to an up-
town music dealer, ,
Had you arrived at the age of ma-
turity before the war of the rebellion
began, said the dealer, and had you
been of a cynical disposition at that
time, you would have beenlinterested,
not to say astounded, at the large sum
of money paid as income taxes by
trite in this town. It. gave one notor�
iety to pay a large income tax, and
no one' vas debarred from paying as
good a tax as he chose. Perhaps a
0
n
e
g
0
t
Ewould be built with that sum,
but it would have to be inlaid with
gold and have the monogram set in
diamonds before the bill could hon-
estly call for half as much as that.
What, then, do the' elegant pianos
of the men of great wealth Dost.
—Ordinarly- from -$17500 to $2,000,
Mrs Jay Gould bought one recently
that cost $2,500, It was an upright,
grand and just as fine as instrument
in everything that goes to make a
piano as ever left the factory of one
of the beat known makers in the city.
C P Huntington has recently pur-
chased a piano. His cost $2,000,
while Judge Hilton, another million-
aire, got one not long ago for which
he paid a little more than $2,200, I
believe. Now,these instruments
were the best the workmen could pro-
duce. The builders knew, of course,
that it would help them to sell fine
pianos to other families if such peo-
ple as these bad their make of instru-
ments. The choicest wood seasoned
to the exact dot, were used in the
cases; extra quality cloth worth $1.8 a
yard, where the ordinary stuff used is
worth from $5 to $10 a yard, went to
the actions; the ivory was selected
from perhaps a hundred different
tusks, and so on from the casters un-
der the legs to the varnish on top,
everything was the best. The mono-
grams were worked out in gold or.an-
tique metal, or some other expensive
stuff, and when the instruments were
sat in the parlors of the purchasers,
there was a richness to the tones that
would enchant anyone. And the
tone was there to remain ; such an
instrument will last wonderfully. Butes
after all, you can get just as good an
instrument, one with precisely the
same tones and one that will last just
as well, for less than half the money
paid by Mr Gould.—New York Sun.

WHAT CAME OF PULLING A
' TOOTH,
A case of a somewhat remarkable
Lharacter is at the present time in the
ondon Temperance Hospital, under
the care of Dr R. J. Lee. A girl,aged
16, bad the last molar tooth in the
lower jaw on the right side removed
about six weeks ago. No anieshetie
was administered. She was in per-
fect health at the time. Half an hour
after the operation she began to yawn
and has continued to do so since.
One yawn succeeded another without
interruption, and with an interval of
two or three seconds. Galvanisfn had
been tried without effects and other
Iemedies previous to admission to the
hospital. Three days afterwards the
yawning turned to sneezing, and re-
cently she has suffered from constant
and rapidly succeeding fits of eneez-'
ing, each of which paroxysms appears
to begin with a yawn. She seems to
have no power of controlling herself,
or only to a very slight extent, and
if she does attempt to do ao the next
sneeze is more violent.
