The SteIvatiOn rmy. .
Sopa after the clock his .straok 7:30
. p.mthe passer-by, in many of the
smaller streets of London or Our large
peuvincial towns, may hear it sound of
&Want music, and see , a crowd ap-
proaohing, headed by a yOung mem izi s
uniform, or a young woman in a peen-
liftr black bonnet, carrying a standard,
and accompanied by a young person of
either sex who walks backwards, beat-
ing time for the music. Next come
three Cr four lads playing with more
vigor than harmony upon a variety of
braise instruments; then several rows
of men, marching five or six abreast,
with linked arms, next, as many lines
of women similarly banded together;
rind, finally, several more serried ranks
of men. All step rapidly' forward, with
serions, purposelike faces, apparently
uncouscious of the meatitude around,
singing to a swinging, jubilant air some
Buell verse as
:" We're travling on to heaven obese,
Will you ge ? Will you go ? "
Suddenly the ranks break and form
afresh into a circle; the crowd halts;
the people in the neighboring houses
come mit into the street or throw open
their windows to listen ; a man steps
forward into the middle cif the ring and
addresses the by -stand* with much
earnestness and vehemence of gestalt'.
Wien. " Friends," he I says, " thank
GO4, I'M trateling on to eaven above"
(" Allelnjah!!" ejaculat his companic
1 •
*na) ; "but I ain't satis ed with gettm,
there myself. I wants , on, every one
,of you, to come along tool! - Will ye go?
That's what I axe ye, Will ye go? Yen
can • the worst on ye I "• , (Cries of " Oh,
yes l se ye can ; praise the Lord ! ") "A
year ago, I was as big a blackguard as
any One here. I used te be well-nigh
mad with the drink ; bp ' Jesus showed
me the hell afore me, an1, what is bet-
ter, be showed me his love, and has
ideas:wed me in his bleed, and slimed
me t" ("Amen t Allelnjah 1") .. Oh,
Mende., let him do the Mane for yon;
now, to -night! He's a-longin' to ! Come
right off to our meetin' and bear of his
salvation." A short prairer follows, the
realm are re-formed„ another Wan is
started, and the procession moves on,
winding in and out of the lowest streets,
halting at iutervals to speak to the peo-
ple, and collecting by degrees a larger
and ever larger numbee of followers;
tnally, it reaches the hall whence it
started, into which it burets in a tumid?,
tuous manner, carrying 'with it a great
part of its train, and shouting, rather
titan singing :
41 gO we'll lift up our Banner on high,
The Salvation Banner on high,
We'll fight beneath Its eoloaa till we die,
And wen go to our home in the sky."
The ''building is big, plain, and ugly,
andI is filled with benches„ packed with
wukempt women and rotigh men, the
latter greatly predominating. At one
end is large platform on which a noisy
host of soldieragof both sexes are tilling
their position; in the midst is a deal
table with some battered hymn books,
a Bible, and jug of water from which
aa refresh themselvea in COMMOIl.
X•very one on the platform and in the
111 talks snd laughs as he pleases till
II- o'clock strikes, then the captain
rsises his hand, silence ensues, and the
service begins with a hymn sung stand-
ing,. at a pace that would frighten a good
old Wesleyan or Baptist out of his senses,
and a roaring chorus, repeated over and
over again with thetgteatest enthusiasm.
During the last verse the soldiers sink
/own upon their knees and finish kneel-
ing, with every sign of devotional fervor.
-The congregation mostly bend their
backs -slightly, out of oorapliment to the
occasion, but some ostentatiously sit
erect andlangh. Prayer listiow caned for,
one member after another prays, and as
Ji. does so he rocks himself backwards
and forwards, clinches his hands, shouts
out his words, and tries in every way to
work himself and his hearer e into an
agony of excitement. The prayers are
short, and follow one another with great
rapidity, men and women alike taking
rart in them, and the soldiers present
pining in with gesticulation and volleys
of Alletajahs, Allien8, and cries of all
sorts. They are interspersed With
hymns, which are, given out verse by
verse, with comments, and. are sung
sitting, and. then probably testimonies
are called for. But the service has sel-
dom, got thus far without a disturbance
from the roughs. One night, two half -
drunken men, who were nursing a foe -
terrier between them, suddenly, when
the speaker had reached his climax, ir-
ritated the dog, and made it bark furi-
ously. On another occasion, when tes-
timonies were being given, a lad rose
and called out, "1 ain't saved, and don't
want to be ! " On such an OCOS8i0I1 one
of the favorite melodies is started, and,
two or three officers, with their hands
behind their backs, to show there Is tol
be no fighting, by some magical power
get their abusive, furious, scowling op
-
permute on their legs,and then by de •
pees, with absolute calmness, edge
them. down the gangway and. out of the
hell.
After an hour or so of this singing,
ptaying, and testifying, those who wish
to leave go home; and the captain
,opens the after -meeting. An a•ppropri-
ate hymn is chosen, and each verse is
reed aloud by the captain with personal
application to his hearers.
Every effort is made to induce the
convert to put the words he lama into
practice. He is made to commit him
sielf by declaring his conversion aloud
before he leaves the room. His name
and address are registered, and, where
the organization is perfected, he is at
once placed under the care of a sergeant,
whose duty it is to see that he comes to
all the services he is able to attend, or
else refers him to the captain for vitae -
tion. . Heis directed to pin a capital 8
on each collar, and thus profess his faith
wherever he goes. And he is at once set
to testifying in publio to the salvation he
has found.
This is the Salvation Army as it ap-
pears to an idle or interested spectated'.
Its history ismne of the marvels in the
marvelous history of religious fintht1Bi-
&BIBB. It is seventeen years since Williain Booth, the founder and general of
the army—biddieg good-bye to the
Kethediat ministry, itt which he had
had an experience of Oixteen years—
came to London to act on his own re-
sponsibility as an Evangelist. In a very
few weeks after he took his stand alone,
Bible in hand, amidst the jeering orowds
OE London roughs-, he hid gathered the
nacletut of the present organization.'
whioh now nuraters 320 corps, 760 offi-
cers entirely devoted to Ito work, 15,000
privateit ready to speak when wanted,.
with an inoome of $350.000 per annum,
with over 6,000 services held weekly in
different parte of the kingdom, and with
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
$ weekly newmaper to record its via,
tories—the "War Cry "—whose aim.
lation reaches 360,000 copies weekly.
Such are the proportions which the
movement has already reached, and its
General promises, God willing, to extend
it to France, America, Australis, New
Zealand, India, Sweden, and Holhand,
during the coming year.
The Salvation Army has no creed;
but the creed of its General is thus
epitomized by himself: "We believe "
he says, "the three creeds of the church
with all our heart. We believe every
word of the Communion service, and we
go about denouncing the wrath of God
against sinners, just as people must who
believe that all thew things are true. .
. . . We believe the greatest ,possible
kindness to a man, who is doing wroeg
and going, to hell, is to tell him so in the
plainest and most urgent language that
can be used, Once stopped and tamed
from his evil way, he will soon lind out
for himself all the loveliness of the great
salvation."
This Army violates without scruple
every canon of good taste, not to say of
Christian modesty and Christian rever-
ence. "It is to the interest of the ser-
vice," says Gen. Booth in his General
-Orders to his commanding officers, "to
be in the columns of the newspapers as
often as possible; no matter in what
way." The commanding officers obey
these orders implioitly. No squeamish-
ness makes them hesitate at methods
that will capture a crowd. Such a ditty,
for example, as the following, draws the
lowest clasi of London to follow the pro -
°onion ; but does the end, justify the
means?
Elijah was a jolly old man,
And was carried up to heaven in a fiery van.
Chorus.
Let us every one be a jolly old msn
And be parried up to heaven in a fiLry van.
The rules of the service are very rig-
orous, and the religion prescribed is not
very broad. One wotild have expected
tomee Mr. and Mrs. Booth foremost in
promoting clubs, coffee-houses, musical
societies, reading -rooms, and lectures;
but all these thing& belong to this life,
and they are concerned only in prepar-
ing for the next one. They denounce
drink, tobacco, .vanity in dress; but
with almost equal vehemence, concerts,
peony -reading, fiotion, charades, and
games of all sorts, as inconsistent with
a Christian profession. The Salvation
Army is a revival of Puritanism in
morals as well as in theology, and Puri-
tanism of the extremest type.—MoMil-
lan's Magazine.
Testing a Braggart.
Six or eight congenial spirits sat
around a stove in a grocery shop one
night, and after several other subjects
had been exhausted tiome one introduced
that of panics in cturohes, theatres, and
halls. This gave Me. Hopewell a chance
to remark "gentlemen, I just long to be
there." "Where?" "Why, in one of
those panics. Yes, sir, I'd give a new
fivepound note to • be in the threatre
one night when there was an °cession
for a panic," "Why ?" "Why ! Beceuse
one cool, level-headed man could !stop
the thing as easily as you °mid end up
that barrel of -flouts" "Well, I dunno
about that," observed one of the sitters.
"There is something awful in the cry
of 'Fire,' and hear it other° and when
.you may, it startles'' and frightens.
What would you do in a threatre tin
case there was a cry of _Tire' and a
rush ?" "I'd stand upon my seat, pull
a revolver out of my pocket, and shout
oatthat I'd shoot ,the first man who
attempted to crowd or rash. One cool
man would check the panic in ten sec-
onds." Whim the subject was being
continued, the grocer withdrew to the
rear end of the store, poured a little
powder on aboard, and gave three or
four men the wink. Presently there
was a bright flash, yells of " fire " and
" powder!" and every man sprang up
and rushed out. Hopewell did not
spring up and talk of shooting. On
the contrary, he fell over a lot of
baskets piled between him and the
door, got up to plough his way over a
rack of brooms, and when he reached
the street he was on all fours, white as
a ghost, and so frightened that he never
looked back until he reached the op -
posits side of the thoroughfare.
A Homeric Courtship.
One of the oddest stories of courtship
is related by Dr. Soblientann respecting
his own. _ It is now twelve years, he
says, since he first met his wife in the
house of her parents in Athens. In the
course of conversation he made an
astonishing discovery. When the talk
turned on the 'Iliad," the eighteen year
old. girl recited for him a long piece
from the poem with literal accuracy.
The two were soon absorbed in the
subject, and at the close of the conver-
sation he said to her, "next Thursday
will be our wedding day." And on that
day they were married. He adds the
satisfactory infOrroation that during
their married life they have not had a
single falling out,—not even over Agee
memon and his sister. The only dis-
pute they ever had Was one when they
had diffarent ideas about the reading
of a passage in Homer. _
The Servant Maids Taking
Advice.
In the end of the last century a
famine overspread the Lowlands of
Scotland, and people who kept ser-
vants, after the ordinary meals, put by
.the provisions in the press, under lock
and key—a very unpopular arrange-
ment with the servants. It so happen-
ed that on one occasion the minister gave
a political sermon, in the course of
which he eulogized the liberty of the
press. Two servant girls, in going
home, and commenting upon the dis-
course one said to the other, "Eb,
Tibbie, yon is a grand preacher!" "He
is that, Jess; I wonder what our
Luckie '11 say noo, wi' her lockin' an'
her lookin, when the very minister says
we should hae the liberty o' the press;
but ve ken, some folk hat neither asnse
noriharne about them.
Ou another occasion when the bread -
stuffs were at famine prices, the same
minister suggested that those whose
constitutions agreed , with it, should
live as much as possible upon animal
food for the sake of those whose etomach
could only digest oereal aliments, The
same intelligent critics, on passing
through the churchyard on their way
home, said one to the other—"dess, did
ye ever hear the like o' yon." "Never,"
replied Jess in a -lond tope, so that e
minister might hear her passing._ "Its
come to muckle, but its no tome to
that yet, that folks are to eat hay or
strse like a wheen brute beasts rime if
-the minister 'ill live on hay hissel ; nay
fear or him; na, na, he's no thei man;
he mann hae something bettek than
either strae, clover, or any grass hay,
tak ye my word for that."
The Cultivation of the Sumac.
There are thousands of people who
wander through the woods in autumn,
piokitig the beautiful scarlet and yellow
le&ve8 of the sumae bush to decorate
their MOWS, without knowing that
there is any other tee for the plant.
Yet t e importation of the sumac into
the inited States this year amounts to
&boil 11,000 tons, co -sting about 1,1,000,-
000. The leaves of theeenmso, dried
and ground, are largely used in tanning
and lyeing, and in Sicily and other
parts of Italy, the plant is carefully
cultieated and treated. , In view of the
fact that the American'aurnao coutains
from six to eight percent. more tannic,
acid han the Italian, and remembering
that he plant grows in wild profusion
thro ghout the country, it seems rea-
sona.le to believe that it might be a
very 1 I ofitable orop. At the present
time the amount of native sumac
brou ht into the Market does not exceed
8,000 tons yearly:9,nd- its market price
is on y $50mer ton, just half the price
of th Italian product. This large dif-
toren e in the market value of the
forei n and domestic article ie due to
the f et that the American sumac, as at
pres oat prepared, is not suitable for
maki 'g the fine white leather BO much
used or gloves and fancy shoes, owing
to it giving a disagreeable yellow or
dirty color.
E g-Plants—How to Keep
Them.
, •
Th se who have a good stook et egg -
plan s on hand, most certainly have an
- excel ent and very convenient artiole.
Thoy can easily be kept till Christmas
by string -away ill a cool cellar, not too
dry, 4n shelves. Though they may
wilt eud1sbrivel away, this does not in-
jure them in the least. They form a
most agreeable and excellent dish at
dinner.
The usual way of cooking by cutting
et, sprinkling on salt an hour
frying, and allowing the vege-
juice to drain out, when they are
in batter, or dry bread or cracker
crurnlbs and fried, - is of course well
knowln. But a mach better -way is to
cut the egg plant ie half, longtitudinab

savorjy dish, that would be very popular
if it vro better known.

In returning thanks to his numerous customers for the very liberal share of
patronage bestowed upon him during the past, and being determined to keep up
the reputation he has acquired for fair dealing aid giving the best value, would
say that he has received another supply of those fine Teas at 500, 60o and 65c
per pound, whioh gave such good satisfaction, both in % quality and price, and
would invite all those who have not already bought any pf those Teas to give me
a trial, and compare thein with teas bought at any otheo house:at from 5c to 10o
per/pound more.
My stook of Teas in Blacks, Greens and Japans, Coffees, Sugars, Syrups,
Rice, Tapioca ; Sago, Pure Spices, Canned Goods, Tobaccoes, &c., is at all times
complete, and my extensive business, together with light expenses, enables me
to place my prices: at a ranch lower figure than the same goods are sold at by
others.
