A. Threatened Fire.

Last Tuesday afternoon some bova started a/ire in n pile of old timbers and rough wood piled up near the gravel pit, at the head. oi; Stockton avenue, and which the Association proposed to use, for the purpose of heating tar needed in .the

. laying of concrete walk,. There; Was a’ | -strong wi nd blo wing at the t ime aiid Uic;

fire soon spread to the adjoining woods, and \Vhen it became apparent that seri­ous dam age migb t ensue word was sent t o the E. H. Stokes Fire Company and they took their chemical engine down and soon extinguished the flalues. .

• All day. long on Tuesday tlie wind blew steadily from thie 'north,; at times reach­ing almost, the''Velocity of a gale, and hearing indications of snow. In the evening a rain storm set in which quickly turned to snow, aftpi* which the feathery flakes Continued,.to fall steadily until about.;, three o'clock Wednesday after­noon, when tlio furv of the storni sub­sided,; ThoV results, however, were pain­ful jy apparent to ranyone who had been-; si oil to. go out of doorsj for the heavy

Association , wi th - thet r sno w plouglis,; were get to work to clear patlis along (lie various sidewalks, but after a short time, the result of their labors was scarcely apparent as the.paths drifted full almost as fast as th'ev were opened. After the storm subsided iii the afternoon they were again set lo work with better rcr suits, . • ■ • .

The ihilkmen and •others* whose busi­ness called them out into tlie storm, had a. disagreeable time of it, and ’many: of theuv.abandoned their routes fov l\m*dnv. A few brought out their sleds, which made, the work a little easier for the horses. * ! • •

It; is likely, that the .various people along, the coast charged, with the re*; sppnsibility of preventing old ocean’s” constant and menacing encroachment 011 the bluff, will need to take a*lesson from the -eflective; iiictlioda .adopted. by ■ • the Ocean jGrb ve ; autho vi ties to stop,; U»j ravages. The low-lying jetties aucom- pliHh the defiirOd iesult’in the most-satisr factory manner. Bulkheads are not effective, and even jetties, when built too high, as at Long Branch aiid Sea bright, fail of their purpose.

A Mysterious. Phenomenon in the V icin ity of Columbus, B urlington County. •

. A mysterious, underground fire, which i« destroying large tracis of tiriiher, is exciting a good deal (if curiosity in the vicinity of Columbus.' About, a year ago the firat fire appeared.on a traet.* of tim­ber land belonging to George Wills, and although miinerouH effort?*, were-made to quench tho fire .110 .relief was atforded until u heavy snoW virtually smothered

Aboiit ten weeks ago u similar fire began in the tract ot timber belonging to .Joseph .Taylor, On the farm atljpining, aud about a thousand yards from-the AVI 11s t iiriber; On this tract, .wlii|:li‘vdcr ciipies aboiit'fvii'ir stcres. of grpiiiid,' dense ckaids of sinoke can* be seen issuiiig from;atJeast a ha)f .htiiidred; different. points.

SPRING LAKE WINS.

Vice-Chancellor Kcci Decides It Controls The Streets of Spring: Lake.

• Vice-Chancellor Becd has filed a ir opinion .in the Court of Chancery sus­taining, the claim of tho Borough of Spring Lake in the equity suit which has long been pending between it arid H. I I . Yard and the Coast Company, involving the important question of whether the borough 01 Mr. Yard’s comnanies own and control the lake and tbe borders and the.streets of the’town. . For a long timo the latter havo asserted ownership and denied theborough’s right to care for and improve the same, and about a year ago erected buildings 011 the borders of the lake which the- borough. endeavored to tear down.

Cross bills in equity were-filed, and a ; bitter fight over the matter has been wag­ing between both parties ever since. The case was tried partly in Trenton and part­ly in Spring Lake,’ and the decision just rendered fully, sustains the light ofthe borough and property owners to exercise full control over the streets and tho lake. The result will be compel the demolition ofthe buildings wrongfully erected, un­less the' Court of Appeals will overrule Vice Chancellor Becd’s decision-—Asbury Park Itaily Park.

A NEW LEASE' Op LIFEI havo just rccdived a letter from au

old' friend which rccallg a remarkablo operation I onco perforrnod in transfn- cion of bJood. Somo months ago I wris introduced to-.an. English gentlemen; who was making Son Frnncisco hia; headquarters with tho expectation of meotiug his eon, who had eet ont about a year beforo. to mako tho tour of tho world by tho eastern route. Communi­ty of (astos thrdw ua’■ much together, and ono day it was arranged that wo should mako.n duck fihoofing oxpedition

■ to somo convenient quarter. '* ..Tq’mnles. bay -was tlio locality soleet-

cd, and thither wo went with tho inten­tion of taking a three days’ holiday. On tho second day, however, just as wo Wero in tho act of pushing off ghorc—I.

. tras already ■ in the.;, boat—'Wycborly. mado 5 spring and landed just whero his left foot caught somewhere about tho lock of ono of tho guhsi thus lotting it off and pouring’ tho whdlo charge of; shot into his right leg.’ Ho fell upon tho; stern scat, whilo tho rnnn, who .was just springing after 'Jiiiu, turned his .ener­gies to dragging tho boat back to laud. In a moment I was at tho wounded man’nsidc, and at length got him npou tho beach..

In a few. moments I had ripped open his trousers leg. From the position of tho w’ound and tho spouting of tho blood it was easy to seo that tho posterior tib- ial aTtery had been Kovered, and that if

’prompt measures woro hot tukcn ho would soon bleed to death. Improvising a tourniqnet out of a handkerchief and a bit of stick, I temporarily stopped tho flow of blood, aud tbo attendant and X carried my how unconsoious friend to a dairy, ranch near by, whero tho hospita* bio farmer put a comfortablo apartment at our disposal. Nor was it a bit too soon, for tho' system of compression I had been obliged to uso proved too weak- for tho great iliao artery, and, just as wo laid Wycherly ou a couch, tho tor­rent of which I. had been apprehensive burst forth again. I was now, howovor,. in a better position to act; and by tho timo tho mau— whom I had dispatched on horseback for my instruments— re-, turned I had tho caso well under con­trol/ Tho only ccuso of alarm now waa extremo weakness and tho risk of second­ary hemorrhage.

It waa whilo watching by Wychorly’a. bpdsido .that I evolved tho plot which forma tho gist of my story. I determined to try transfusion, and, to tell tho truth, I rather congratulated myself,, from a professional point of view, that ohanco hud throwu iu my way such a splendid

• opportunity. .I watched tlio men when tliey camo

;iu to their noonday, meal, and among tlio dozon or. two I saw .two whom I singled out as tboao who must servc:my turn. It did not requiro a secoud glanco at their ruddy cheeks to assure,ono less knowing thau a surgeon that they pos­sessed a practically unlimited storo so for as my purpose was concerned.of tho pure lifo fluid of which I was in quest.

. When I broached my project, they wore at first very uverso to it, but finally they agreed to tho terms, provided it did .1105 entail much pain. Luckily I had somo cocaino with-me, and, bo aucesthetized tho region of tho median vein that they did not eveu feel tho incision, and X ac-

‘complished a satisfactory transfusion into Wycherly’a arm at tho samo spot, despite tho fact that I had to improvise an apparatuB-out Of a syringe and somo. tubing which I. found in my case. My point, howover, waa gained. X had sue- needed in saving my friend’s life, for tho moment at least.. I had also sent tho twoyoutba away in high spirits at having earned two months’ wages-in a couplo of hours and with tho admoni- tion not to do any moro work till I.saw • them again. I had telegraphed down to San Francisco and received, hy tho-flrsE- train, such instruments and appliances ns I had ordered to bo sent mo.

1 had left tho room for a few minutes ' with my patieut -resting comfortably, but on my return, what was my horror • to SCO that tho ligaturo had burst, tho bedclothea were drenched with blood, and tho. deadly pallor ou my.friend's unconscious.face, with the weak and in­termittent jets of blood from tlio reopen­ed artery, told mo but too plainly, that- ho was already almost past hnuiau aid..

• Hastily applying a styptic andcomp::ess,I again tied up tho blood vessel, mean­time shouting lustily for Fritz aud W il- hoi ro, who happened to bo hoar by, and. camu running in with somo other mem­bers of tho family.

Beforo Fritz and Wilhelm hud bared their arma my plan was laid. I recol­lected having seen that morning tlio carcass of a newly killed calf hanging, up iu tho slaughter shqd. I bade somo ono fetch ino the heart and neighboring organs. When theso arrived, finding them still warm, I selected a blood ves­

sel somewhat larger than thoso I w« about to cut, and speedily had four pieces of about an-inch in length ready for u b o . I then led Fritz to tho left hand aido.of tho bod, and at cnco soyored tho cephalio branch of tho median voin of his right arm nttho olbow. Raising tho left aim of tho dying man from tbo bed, I m a do F ritz sit down so as to bring thom nearly to a level and out tho samo voin at.tlio samo placo. Mypurposowas to connect tho lower extremity of Fritz’s vein with tho upper of Wyoherly's, and vico versa. To do thiB I Blipped tho cut. pieces of tho coif’s blood vessel over tho, cut extremities of Wyoherly’s vein, and then inserted tbo corresponding ends of F ritz’s vein into tho other ends of tho calf’s vein, which served precisely tho samo purpose as tho joint used'in con­necting two picces of metal pipe. After completing the connection X brought tlio arms of both mon closo togothcr, baudaging thom tightly iu that position, so as to obviato any risk of- breaking tho couriection. Then I took Wilhelm around to tho right sido of tho bed and; couneritcd his left arm in tho samo man­ner with Wycherly’s right. A comploto and perfect connection had now been formed witli tho circulatory organa of tho thrco men— they formed, in fact, ono circulatory system. ' ' '

No porcoptiblo effect-was noticeable upon Wycherly for half an hour. . It ia truo ho was being supplied with the lifo giving.Quid from two Rourcos, but they wero by no means abundant nice, and besides out of thirty odd pounds of blood which a healthy man.possesses X ani afraid to say how much ho had lost.. In the caso of tho youths, however, a crit­ical observer would hav.o detected a, very appreciable diminution iu tho col­or of their faces,'and in order that they might.not become alarmed at any feel­ing of weakness I ordered somo’ bottles of ,tho 'best vino tho establishment af­forded to' be brought n u l administered it to them freely, at. tho .samo timo di­verting thoir thoughts aa much as pos-.

.siblp.' .-Soon I noticed that tho color was re­

turning to Wycheily’o cheeks. It was . evident that his lifo was saved and that tho.measures I had employed had been the means of- doing it. About half, an hour afterward Fritz and Wilhelm be- camo restive. X explained to them that

• to movo from tho position they wero in,1 much less,to linvo the bandages takon from their, arms, .would entail tho death of tho sick man; that their meals would bo brought to them there, and that thoy

•would oven liavo to sleep just wJieru they wero; also that I could not tell ex­actly how long this-coudition o f. things would last, but thot-whiJo it did they would get 820 a day apicco for their services after that day,'for which they would get $100 apiece.. Thosight of the gold which I counted tp each of them— having received a supply ..that morning from Wyoherly’s bankers — removed tho last traco of discontent./F ro m that day on Wycherly’s recov­

ery W*is steady and rapid. Within a week his uppotito returned, and .ho was strong enough to havo beon up and

. about. . ' • 7 . :Several moro days elapsed, until ono

morning I considered it safo for tho'in- valid to tako , outdoor excrcisc. I did not at onco. sever tho connection which bound him to tho two young Gormans,

. partly, bccauso of somo observations I. had modo which suggested a peculiar .train of thought. Was it fancy that •Wycherly was becoming structurally nnd organically. affected by the now; blood which was now circulating through his system? Could tho mere, transfusion of ordinary blood into his

^vdiua havo given the freshness of look, tho - elasticity and buoyancy of; spirit's, which wero now his, to a man who, scarcely two weeks bofore, had been up- on thq bed of death?. And could it be possible, ou the other hand, that X de­tected a somewhat older look-in the German lads who formed part aud par- cel of this curious .physical trinity? It was with a view to observe moro closely and - thoroughly both-.tho surgical and physical aspect of tho ease that X de­cided. to preserve tho status quo for*a timo at uny rate. :-

tlp to this time, at my friend’s re- - quest, I forboro to send any. intimation to his friends at home regarding tho se­rious- accident that had befallen him, as ho.feared to causo' them uunecessary alarm;. Now, however; ho requested me towrHothem a fu ll account of tho mat­ter, and also of his rapid couvalescenco. Thero were, ho told me, only threo; members cf his honsohold proper, now that himself and son wero absent— name­ly, hia aged mother, his sister aud a young lady, a distant relative,, who. .was betrothed do his son. . Beforo this letter was dispatched tho China mail brought news from hia son, who wrotp to nay tliat ho found Japan so interest­ing that he did not propose to leave it for a mouth to come.

From this timo on a most remarkable; physiological, chaugo began to tako place in the three beings who wero so curiously linked together by their.cjircri-. latory system. They werO evidently fast becoming assimilated :in physical fea* tnres and conditions. Wycherlywas.in­deed growing younger, w hilo his com­panions were growing proportionately;

. older. Onco I was. able to grasp and recoguizo this, dominant fact I.found myself .' Wondering, not so much at tho fact per so. ua' at tho rapidity w ith; which the change was boing accomplish­ed. I coulj) only account for tliis last •feature of tlio strange metamorphosis by remembering that tho. blood now coursing in the veins of - this strango partnership was, in tho first instance, almost wholly that of tho young Ger­mans, as Wyeberly’H vessels Svero well nigh drained at the commencement of the trial. He therefore took a fresh start in life, so to speak, with a lurgo capital of new blood, and aincp then ho -had ;been contributing only ono*third of tho supply to the common stock or partnership circulation. Accordingly only ono*third of tho common blood was .being assimilated by old organs, whilo two-thirds wero being assimilated by young and robust ones. In addition to; this Wycherly’s assimilative. organs

SATU RDAY, DECE/VIBER 19 . 1S9 6 .

The Annual R eportsThere is always: aconsiderable interest

mailifesled in tbo yearly report of Presi­dent. Stokes as-it is submitted to the

. Association,. for.it is the only method by and-through which the people of the Grove tuny become in .any wav familiar with’ the linancial workings ot the gov­erning authority. Not only this, but a large, amount of statistical • matter in relation to tho various interests of the community, bbth secular and spiritual, are gathered together and published in a form at once comprehensive yet brief,

/and the people are thus .enabled .to• familiarize themselves. with many im* ; porta 1 it matters which might otherwise . be overlooked.

•The report covers so mnnv items which , must prove of interest to our readers

that 110 satisfactory review of its contents is'possible in the space at command. It

. is passed, - t herefore, with a brief sum­mary, but .with the expectation tliat some subject or. subjects treated upon therein will be taken tip each week for publication and comment. . .

.A pretty I ibe* ral supply of these reports have been printed and copies may be had upon application at. tlie Association olliee, either iu person or by mail.

Christmas Shopping.The idea that at Christinas time a trip

, to New York is essential in order to properly, economically and satisfactorily perform the Holiday shopping, has, through the continued aiid intelligent

. efforts of our ■merchants, been alhiost on ti rely abol ished. There are a few per- sons, however, wlio still cling to the thought: that time and money may be saved by a tiresome day in tlie Metro pu­li s, but to6 often they lind upon a com­parison ot puces that tliev might have done equally.as well, and in many eases saved: money, by ‘ doing their • trading right at home. . .

It lias been stated, with good* reason, that this community is far. ahead of similar places in a great many respects, and the enterprise of our merchants has been the-greatest factor in building up so flattering a reputation. They are keenly alive to thtf necessity.of being in a position to offer goods fully as attract­ive and at prices equally as low as tbe same article is offered in New York, and tliey are thus educated into becoming good< buyers, and articles rightly pur*' chased sell themselves.

To those who have not made an in­spection of tho various, stores in the community and examined the endless variety of the goods displayed, we would recominend that a few hours be spent in this way. /Not only will such a trip be a; source of pleasure, but it will demon­strate t ie fact that the taste and good judgment of our merchants, in the selection of Holiday, as .well as every day goods, cannot be excelled.

Look through lite advertising columns of. this paper, go and examine the wares that are offered, and then determine whether or not a trip to some other loca­tion is necessary for the purchase of such articles as you may require; '

. AVe understand that there.is'.a rule, or a regulation, or an ordinance, or some* 'thing of that character, promulgated by, tiio Ocean Grove Association which re* quires that hereafter all curbing that : is

> put down shall be of blue stone*' K would appear tliat-* the law makers in

. thia case are not supposed to be governed

.. by their own rules and regulations ‘since • a considerable amount of wooden curb

ia being put down along the. front of, Association property* With such an example before them it will probably be difficult to enforce tiie regulation in nidi-

. vidua! cases.

T h e s o c i a l reception of the Ocean Grove Association to commemorate the twenty; Beventh anniversary, of its organization, will be held in the brick building,' Tubs-

. day evening, December ’22, from .7,30 to 9.30./ The invitation to participate in the enjoyments of this occasion-is made general. Cards were distributed but the fact that one was not received need not debar a person from attending, for all

:' will be made welcome.

. A AYIitto Father.; I f all Ihdiati agon ts wero liko that in* ; pnluable United States * army.' officer, Lioutennnt W. E. • Stottlor,' thon tho problem of what to do with our wild wards would bo. settled satisfactorily by . tlio opening of tlio twentieth century.

Lieutenant Stottlor has for sis. years lind charge 61 tho Mcscnlcro agency, in New Mexico. Tho Mcscaloros wero orig­inally a dirty and dangerous ’ tribo. When Lieutenant Stottlor went auioug them, ho mado thom work. Thus ho-be*. gau to civilize them- Ho commcnccd with having them dig a ditch threo or four miles long to, bring ‘wator to ir r i- , gato tho agency grouuds.. I-Io had abso*. luto control ovor them, and tliey had to do it. Wiien. thoy saw how-beautiful ly ' vegetation was made to grow, they vol­untarily,mado irrigation cauals of their, own. Tho plucky lieutenant stood over pno.of the chief’s with a shotgun whilo ho forced , him to. plant potatoes and tend them. Ho also compels thom to send their children to the agency school..! I f tlio youug ones.aro not in attendance, into tho guardhouse tho parents go t ill thoir offspring do como to school. 'Be­sides learning to rniso vegetables the red men likewise learn to oat .them. Lieu­tenant Stottlor' says this is especially. good for' thom, being cooling, to tho, blood and tending to mako thom peace-'. fnl. Too . much moat in thoir rations makes thom quarrelsome. .

Tbo rod proteges of tho livoly lieu­tenant nro learning to build houses und live in thom liko civilized people. What seems mpsfc wonderful of all is tho fact that every; mother’s son aud daughter of them is forced to tako a hath onco a weok. If thoy do uot do it, thero is tho over convenient guardhouse. In truth, as.a civilizer nud moans of graco Lieu­tenant Stottlor Jms found tho guardhouse invaluable..

So farfrom making tho Indiana his enemies, the lieutenaut has converted them, ono and all, into his fast friends.’ , They havo tho highest respect for his honesty and, integrity as well as a wbolesomo awo of his pqwor.

Do Wo Steal?Julian Ralph gives out iu ono of his .

letters from London some painful and extraordinary bints in regard to Ameri­can travolers in that oity. lio says in so many words in tho Now Yoris Jo urnal,. “ I havo been repeatedly urged to talk with this or that hotel keeper about tho tonrtency of hotel visitors from abroad to steal plated waro and littlo triflos to tako homo as souvenirs.M

Tlio “ visitors from ubroad” indicat­ed in the above sentcnoo are Americans, nud tho remark was mado in connection with some comments on, tho tbofts of Mrs. Castle.

• through keeping company with an in­valid, no one thought anything of it, and no one .pitied them, as they had been paid liberally-for their loss of. vi-

. talif}*. WycJiorly, however, iipoii Jiis re­turn to the city, sent each of them a cheek for an amount which amply rep­resented tho ourniugrt.or tho eight years of life which they luul lost. Wo.return­ed to tho city in company, a fashtona- Wo tailor fitted out tho young English gentleman, my guest, and wo arranged

. . “ Is Air.' V.'yciierly on board— Mr." I Stephen Wyeherly?” asked my friend !. next day o t ono of iho stewards. j

‘ *J\Ir. Wycheriy?” replied tho man, j. starting. “ Why— oh," yerf, I remember, j Please to wait, sir,. till I call ono of tho. ! ofileers. ” . . ‘ *• Presently we observed oho of tho ofll* ceis coining forward; conversing with the steward. As Jio .eamo up ho bowed gravely and said: •. :

“ I grieve to tell you, gentlemen* that Air. WycherJy d ied on ’tlio : passtigo hero and whs bnriytl at sea.. If- you w ill ac­company. mo to tlio. surgeon’s cabin, he w ill supply you with all the particu­lars. ” And lie led1 tho way aft:• Sorrowfully. 1 . followed the griet j tUiickeu parent, whoso bowed head and j Unsrendy step showed, tho violenco o f «tbo blow. . • ’■ j

•“•I am speaking to Mv. Wycheriy •brother, I presume,” said tho surgeon after the oOicer lmd explniuod ;qur e r-;

: rtind, -turning to my companion. . “ The ; resemblance is so striking that I do iiot- j think I can be mistaken, though I • should say you wero slightly his senior.’.’ ■.; “ His father,” replied my friend sirn-,

« ply* • .. ■“ Hia father! Excuse iUe. It"you w ill

• como inside, I w ill show you my books. ."Ifc turned out that pcor Stephen, my

friend’s sou— his name, also-had been taken.down with dysentery on tho sixth day out from Yokohama and had never

' rallied from.tho attack..» “ Did you remark tho surgeon’s ex­pression of incredulity when you said you wero the father of tho air. Wychcr-

. j r who died on tho passage?” I said tc my friend next day as ho sat iu my of­fice. ’ “ It may turn out that you w ill Jiavo trouble in ‘establishing your iden­tity .; I can, of'.course, vouch for it, but

‘ ic is not likely that niy Btpry would gain -undisputed credence,'seeing that it. is unparalleled in tlio annals of science?” .

/ ‘JIako yourself easy ou that point,” •returned Wycheriy, with something ot heat in his tone. "An to my friends at heme, is - it rea.?onabIo to suppose that they would ftiil. to recognize one who is

■thoroughly conversant with ench detail: o f our family affairs?” - . j.

' “ I hope.it may turn out rts you say,” • :.T remarked dubiously*-

Jusfc then my servant entered witli a f card. I marled on reading it and hand- > od it to Wycheriy.. . ; *

“ Miss Gertrude Tremaine!” heejacu: lated. “ But how— how’-’—

ately a tall, hand sc mu bnmetto appear- . ed in tho doorway. She looked lirst at

/ono and then nt tlui other, as if unde- .oidcd how to. a«?t,: then advanced, tc •whero Wycheriy wa*; sitting, too bowil* .dereu to speak, 'and; took liim by the baud.. ' .

‘ fWhy, Stephenr” sho said, “ don’t• you know sue? But. I .didn’t expeet’ to

find you here. I thought: I should find papa here. * They told .mo I should get nows of him here at tho plaeo I used to direct all my letters to;.”

... “ Why, Gertie, ” • returned . Wycheriy,; regarding ' her.’ with • embarrassment,. “ don’t you know me? Don't you know

Stephen’s father?” , ' •: “ Whut dods this- mean, sir?” shesaid, drawing herself up with Offended dignity,. '• But do not flatter yourself it was to see you, sir,' that I-came. I came at tho express desire of your grandmoth­er aud anno.to see that your father/was being iproperiy taken care of. Oh, Sto* pheu, ” sho eoutinued iu' a softened tone, “ they are so very anxious about him at home.'.’'’. *‘Bur, Genic, I am old Stephen Wyeh- «rly, Svhom you came to see, ’ * said my friend.

“ You!” she cried with a rinplo of silvery laughter, as if now* entering in- to and enjoying the joke. “ You! I sup poso yon, think 1 hat having mado tho rour-of the world gives you the right to assumo age. And now 1 como to think

' of it,’ perhaps it does, for you do cer- ‘ taiiily look iivo years older than when

you left us a year ago, if that is auy- rhing in your fayor, ”

I had been studying all this timo how to .extricate my friend froin his diiem^ ma. So, r is in g : and locking at my

' watch, I said.in a fatherly sort, of way:‘VYou young people can get along:

. very well without nie, I think. I have jlu engagement which w ill • tako mo at

ieasr half an hour; po I am sure you w ill excuse, me. ”

When I icturned, they were gone, and merely a note from Wycheriy romuined on the table, saying that ho would com- mnnicato with uio shortly... Prom that day to this I heard nothing of him t ill I received this letter: . /

There is yet another sort of man who invariably wears it in a rather depressed looking sailor’s knot. This is tho kind of young man you can depend upon. Ho is neat, careful, modest, conscientious, bonora- blo and of good report. But, to tell the strict truth, ho is not always delirious* ly amusing. Ou tho other hand, be­ware of the youth who,wears an enor­mous cravat frothing out on his unman-

. Wit bout-a doubt tho most novel ex­change is tho Cigar Stump exchange,

' Jicld at Paris, iu tlio ancicufc Place Man- * bert, which is tho resort of. moro.curi'

OYis characters than auy other place iu tho world. On the steps which lead to it from the Bouleyard St.. Germain the Parisian Cigar Stump exchange’ meets every pleasant afternoon. .

: A ll members of tlio exchango bring their ware.*? to these meetings in paper boxes.'* ’ There is no dealing in futures. Each broker sells only tho cigar ends ac­tually in. his possession. '

Thobuyers on this exehaugo arc wholesalers -and retailers.. The whole­salers buy up all the stumps they can get for about a franc a pound, clean them, cut them up fiue aud sell tho prod­uct-in packages with faucy .covers ris smuggled tobacco for 3 or 4 fraucs a pound.' -•

Tho -. government tobacco • of fcimilni quality costs between 0 aiid 6 fraucs a pound. 1 The retail buyers purchaso only two or:three pounds of stumps at a time for their own consumption. Tho pric?s on tho Tobacco Stump exchango vary, of course, its on. other exchanges, accord­ing to tho relations . of sapply and de­mand,.

In winter, when fewer persons smoke in tho street, fewer stumps aro found in the gutters aud brought to tho exchange, • and the sellers get 10 or 15 per cent more for tl.ieir stumps than they get iu summer, when tho boulevards and squares- are crowded with smokers.— Paris Journal.

“ LOVE.THY NEIGHBOR.” I MR. YATHAN’S LETTERS.Interesting Serraon Preached by Pastor

Reed, of St.. Paul's, Last Sun- day Morning:. :

“ Thou shall love tiiy neighbor as thyself.’* -Mutt.22:3‘J. . ... .- '

I i is too frequently tbo cusp in con­sidering this' command tliat vie etuplm- ei/e lint one part ot it, namely,-"Thou slin.lt love tliy neighbor,” losing sight of

! the fact that self-love is a prior duty, unci m u s t receive first eons-ideiation* For

thou must love thyself, in order that thy love for thy neii'lihor may lie good for' anything, or as one has pertinently said,“ When a twin's love for himself is like

. a clog’s love for himself, ’t is .a poor bounty that he .given his neiirhbwr.” Ilence we should love ourselves so nobly and truly that when we love our neigli- bor, our love will.be worth something to him. . • ‘

And we shall lind.that self-love has nothing about it, narrow,1 mean or be* littling, it ia not selfishness. Hei Move,

. sclf-licip, self-preservation are among the deepest elements of our being, and rightly exercised, put us into the nest condition to do the most, and lovingly the most', for our neighbor. And for the best results for all’ concerned, these two, self-love' and neighbor-love, must work together. For they are reciprocal forces. Not opposites; but different phases of Ono common principle, equally necesmrv to the common good. Ami hence it .is- dangerous for a man to live wholly for himself, and even more dangerous to expend hitnseli^jtpon others* with no carc or thought for himself.

But it has too frequently been the case that men have turned away from the command of our text as embodying an impossibility; seemingly* frirueitiiiir-that the Muster*said, “ The second is like unto, the iir,-t.’?- But is it an impos*i-- bility? Tins much is at. least certain*— if we can discover what it i*? to love one’s self, there will he.no difficulty in de­termining what it is to love one’s neigh* i bor as one’s self. I

And.for an answer to the .question,• What is it to love one’s self, I would re-.- fer you to. Dr. Hopkins’ Moral Philoso­phy, " The law of love ami love as a . law,” , in which he states that self-love consists of three things : First, iti secur-

' ing one’s f»wn right’s.; second; in sup-.’ plying one’s own wantrf ; third, in ’per­

fecting and directing one’s own powers. .Jf 1 love myself, then I will seek to j

secure niy own rights; my. rights of Hie, I of liberty, of possession, ti nd ot reputa­tion, and to.love my neighbor as myself \

.is to accord to him these saint! rights and | assist him in securing them, with all the ( fervor that I would demand of his as:

. eistahce in securing them; for inyself; and I would hold his rights as-.sacredly a3 I would have 'him- hold mine. .

.. . In tin? second , place it would lead ;me to supply .my own wants -"Self-love will jceep me from.becoming u pauper; would save hie from becoming- a parasite on society, for.no man can become a tramp

.till lie loses all selfdovei And to lov«* my neighbor as myself, would lead nie tordesire to see him. supply Ids wants ;. ami move, it would constrain ihe to sup­ply his wants when he is .no longer able to do it for. himself... lint this would re.-.} for only.tuthose eases wiiere 11je circuin­stances are well, known to .us. Jndis-. criminate givinir is not required by the law of love, lor such always- tymls to encourage pauperism. • .*{

In t:ie th it d placo it would lead t ne to s perfect and direct niy powers.. -1 Hit ih.isy opens a Held of too lar^e a range, for. full . and complete discuss.ion. For it .means ; that I will seek tnv best physical, mental ; and spiritual development. Aiid as I j seek them for myself I must;accord the | same to mv neighbor and. grant him All *. possible assistance, as I must require th e ;

Tlie great lii.doricai cliftsm which exists between the Old .and New Testnments presents a diflicnlty. to the ordinary reader which < is not easily evercbme. The last hook itilthe Old Testament con- tsiins the pronhccies of ^falachi, but the last historical records are in the Book of Neheiriiah, and refer, to a period of more than four hundred years before the'birth of Christ., - Though their writings are placed so. far apart 1 iti the Bible, it is believed that Neheiriiah - and Malachi lived at.the same time, and therefore-we have no sacred account of the history of the Jews after their death, until the Gos­pel story begins.

Duriiig tlds four, hundred years thero was neither prophet nor inspired writer among*the scattered people.of God. We have,, therefore, to turn to the.writings of Josephus and the books of the Apo­crypha for knowledge, of what took place.

Joseplnis Ivas* a distinguished Jew/, a iiative of Jerjisalem, who'wrote “ The Wars of the JewstV which contains an Jiccount- of the. nation from ji.c. ' 170, to his own time, immediately preceding the. birth of Christ;• liemovitig H» Rome, he afterwards published his “ AntitjuitieS'of the Jews,” which gives a history of that people from the Creation.' It,*.is not-, however, altogether, .trustworthy,- as Joseph us. exaggerated the importance of the Jews in his atteiiipt to make his own nation as great its possible. '

Tlie Apocrypha ia a number of hookswhich, were written during the Captivity, aud relate the events occurring between the Old.Testament nnd the New. Froin them we are able to obtain much; infer- matioiii but even they are not as credible as ordinary histories. .

After the time of. Nehemiah, the Per­sians were masters of Judtea for a coti- s it lei able- time ; but [ Jjyria, of whicli. Palestine forins a pai.t, was treated as’ a reparitle- province, aiid Jewish high p i rest s' we re a 1 lowed to govern, tin i J er th«* conquerors, their own. part;of the coi miry. They} \ io we ve r, subye rt ed t he t r . high olliee,’ and used their position to gratify thtrir-personal.ambition.• Then Palesti m*.; was- conqueretl l>v Alexander the 0 rent, wlio was. i mluce’cl by the .Jewish ]mesis to spare Jerusalem, when he appeared. be (ore that city with his army, 1 it is said that this, famous nioiiarelf.foriiied a highly favorable estir mate of the Jews, and that lit* encourag­ed them'to settle in the cities he founded in vnrious paits of his empire. Carry­ing with them t.heir saeyod books, they exercised a. ntissiohliiy inllut?m:e. - and spread abroa‘1 the 'prophecies; relating-,to the coming of the-Messinh.;

After -the death of -Alexntider, Syria \vas linder .the rule of Kgvptian kings, i)tie of whtim butii the famous ligiit- house of Pltaros, near the mouth of the Nile,. whicli is incltided mii.oiig tlie .Seven Wonders of tlie Ancient World. . Under this monarch, too, the Hebrew .Scriptures were Iranslated into Oreek, and thus the sacred records -were placed ..within tho reach-of all who were acquainted with that, language. .

■' The.Song of the-Angfels.' .

Tlie Bong of. the migelH .i Litke - : H ) is ’ an epitome of the Gospel. • U*(. us heark­en to the three notes -struck .by the heavenly.host. . ; ' . •

1. Olovv to God in Ihe highest. Tho power, thewisdom in id t |ie love of God

' are manifested, in uatuv.e and in Ilia• Word,' but.the gift of I i is Son is fire

supreme revolution of .the glory of IiisV: attributes. • Many despise Christ- hrnl . boast of man’s -knowledge and civiliza­

tion. \Ve nniy nay to them.what Samson r.’lo ld .the Philistines.: “ If ye had not ; ploughed with’ my heifer,” etc. - Look

.7 . at the world when‘Christ was born. The flews 'had a few streaUs of light, but

, * ** tin ri; ness co ve i vd ti.e oiirf 11. * ’ otc. For• four hundred years the/ nations had

• groped after God, crying with .lob, “ t) ;*. that 1' knew;where Iniight- lind Him !*’ ’

nnd there.was no answer but the echo of •their own. .pathetic' appeal.. Here isi Paul's ilhmnt!. cndor.-ctiienl across the centuries before (?hrist“ “ the world by wisdom knew.not God,” This is borne out by the Apostle's visit to Athens twenty years after the insurrection, and the utter depravity of the human kind jiiaybe gauged wiVcii we know (hat in the. writings of Socrates and Cicero tliere

. is not a line in condemnation of fornica- ■i (ion. The gulf between < Jod and'nmtt

was more ihipassible from our side than that between J<u/aruV and Dives. Jesus'

: has bridged t he gulf. Let us therefore ..rejoice with the angels, with the shop-

•; herds, with -Mary, with.Simeon, and with Ahnaj oyer the hirth ofthe Holy Child

. iii' V n sevenfold ehoi up of hallelujahs and ;• harpinsr syini»honies.“

“ I'eiice bu: earth,** The gates .of: ! the temple of .1 films 'at Rome v.vre-shut

■born, ^iany.sagoS had tried to reform, lmot, bxrt \ bey a 1.1 failed, because \ hev

...began at the circumference, .whereas: Christ• bega ii at the.centre. They said

,; man. was vicious'.' because hi* . circuin stances were agaiijst him. and sought to improve his surroundings. Christ laid

.'His linger'oii the prime source of cor- ' ruplton, and declared “ outofthe heart;’'

etc. lie takes the slain out of .our con-.; science, dcivm-cs our desires, purities onr motives, and tj in s; refer ms and trahstig-

. uiVs our environment. Observe in. de­tail : ‘ :. . ' ; .

'.(J) Christ ;is driving slavery from the earth, not by tbe sword or penal enact­ments; but Ijv teaching the brotherhood of man. “ Thou shall love thv neigh­bor/* etc. "When He was born, three,

. •ov al least two, om oi every fcmv were in ; bondage. '

(2) Christ Jins eievafed women to hor true.dignity by proclaiming the equality

. of J be sexes. - * Then - i s )i ei t J i er n i a 1 e, ** etc., At tlie Advent, woman was “ either.

• ■ a slave, or a bnrlot,^or a toy.**, .(J!) Christ has softened ‘the horrors of war. Ndii-coinbatams, women aud chiUhen, are not now mnssuevud by the.

'conquerors , in “ civilized".’ countries. • When.the Portuguese mariners had been

, buffet ted on the wild Atlantic, and, rounding Capp JIor/j; snv i.be newly dis-

-• covered ocean resting in calm, tliev y- eal led. it.. Pacific, and, in their supeistl-.

tion, attributed its tranquillity to the 'brilliant constellation' known] as' the Southern Cross, then shining down upon it. .Wherever the fctor of Bethlehem has

ffrlitlored. across, the angry waters of human strife,' they.have been awed into

.•-.vUlness. . • .,*). Good will towatd men.** wren's

; conceptit)i;s of God and each other were :Utlerlv wrong. Meii had a stern,.narrow

: idea of ..God, and nursed only hatred or.■ contempt for their fellows. For instance, the .low reminded God constantly iii his prayers, tliat Gentiles were “ spittle,”“ tlie droppings of a cask,” and that one-

Htf.the peculiar people was of more value •jtp God than all the Gentiles massed to­gether. Socrates daily thanked the gods tlmt be was ti man and not a . beast, a male and not a female, a Greek and not

'a “ barbarian,” i.f., every nation except .'his.own. The only relation the .Romans •would allow witli another people was that of the victor and tbe vanquished. The same intolerant spirit persisted in the feudalism of medieval times. The Gospel is democratic’ from beginning to oiid. It reveals' that “ God is love,” tlmt lie is “ no respector of persons,” and

, that lie has “ me,tie of one blood,” etc. A l l . minor’ distinctions of age ami sex and wealth and nice are lost in. Chris­tianity, or regarded ' as mere accidents. Messiah came to he a “ light to lighten the Gentile*and the glory.of his people Israel,” and all of ns were represented when both Jews; and Gentiles thronged

- witli reverence round the manger. Cel* Hus, one of the .earliest antagonists of tlie Gospel, repudiated it'because it made no social or political distinctions among men. Thank God, ll is love encircles us all, for He “ will have all men.to be

. s:ived, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth ! llcr, IT. 1 VHkintlnor.

..in i oiinection with tliis event—the birth of Christ. •* ’ "■•. L. *“ «V star, an non need I i is entrance into the world.’ * tiod put this bright

messenger (probably a 'meteor); iti tlie heavens to tell the tidings to some who were waiting for; it far away. (Refer to. Jlnhuun’s j) ro i 11 e.’ y, N u tn. x xi v .1 7.V M a liy throughout djffeivnt countries were look­ing for a ilelivereiy but .these men knew lie was tp be born among the Jews. God.

-Uuowa and remembers them wlu> are 'looking out for the fulfilment of Iiis •promises. Wise men from the l%ast came : to find.J-fiiii. 'i'itiey,knew that what, they baw was no ordinary star, and under- blood its ’. Mgnificaiice. To . thcur in tin', Jljfit, it of course, appeared in the MV.*/, pointing out the direction in which they must travel to. find the new born King. Deep indeed niusi have been their care;

concern to leave;-their'homes-on the long jpurney across the desert..- 2. “ Learned men were consulted as to'

.he place of his birth:. No one thought ' ofdeny ing. the.fact: They, knew a King \vm , to conie. It was foretold in their J ■k: rip lures. lOnlv they weiv in no hurry for H im ! . . . * . .' “ The appearance of these wise men, or tnutji, in .lerusalein, ufler their long jour- nov from tho far East, Would, of itself have bnen sutlicient. to. produce' a eensn-

; tion. All the inore marked was the sur­prise when they, raised .the inquiry, "W here is bet bat is boril King of the Jews !’ aiid then added : ‘.We have seen I iis star in the East, aud are como.to wor­ship Him.’ ^Vaa it a real star which they

saw. or some starliko body in the heav­ens? Or was it,, as the astromer Kepler inainiaincd, a eonjuifction of the planets Jupiter, Saturn and Mnrs? No dogmatic, answer can be given to these questions.; nor is it necessary that one phouId bo given. All that, we know is that by means of some celestial body, the Kastern sages wero led to the cradle of'the Lord.”—r i l U M . . . .

All.ferus:ilem was troubled about. Him. To bear, ihat a new ICing . was born, and find men wore seeking for; Him, w I ie u 11 tere was. one. a I reiut y ui possession of the throne; was alarming. The Jews feared that it might mean strife and war. • Herod had Secured the kingdom by great crimes. He was fear­ful of being dethroned. • “ When smrh a tyrant- was alarmed, his whole vnpilat could iiot but be alarmed also.” —

Tlie. won 1 rendered “ troubled” denotes profound' eomiuotion; mixed: with fear and apprehension/

The great ecclesiastical court (the San- liodrin) made answer to Herod’s demand to know “ where tlie Christ should bq borih” 'The answer, canie “ ln Bethlehem of Judea.” . l)r. Abbott remarks upon this fact that “ the. very body which sub- sequently crucified Jeans as an imposter, otbciallv testified that His birth in lietli- iehem.fulfills the prophccy iitteivd seven hundred years. before, respecting the Messiah.” .

-I.. -’The seekei’S guided.” They werei n < )t: all b wed t o' lose tb ei r way, nor to raise a fresh conimotion in IJetlilelicni by fresh inquiries^; They found Jlim they sought for; they hastened witli jo\* into His presence. *Aml they worshipped the. lowly Child ; for < bey saw fart her than' all tht* people.of Uethlehem, and'knew this was tlie promised King..

Long ago these even ts.t ran spired. That lowly Christ grew np to be a Man, siii- It'ss, sjiot less,, holy. 11 is '• woi:ds aiid works, si lowed Him to be divine. .He was; rejected, crucified, buried/ lie arose; again, thus provingjlimself to betlie Son of God, and is gone ti ) fo Heaven. He is coining again tu be King over all.

Sunset Memories*

in (lie endless variety of subjects ■which 1111 the teeming pages of the books of every passing year, we 'Always give the preference to a sensible, ci renin* st initial and spiritual autobiography, and it has boen;oui‘ good fortune recently to: meet with one of this character..

The author is the wide!v known, and as widely.esteemed llev. Nicholas Van- siint, of tlie Xewark Annual Conference, whose “ memories” take in the W arp and wool* of seventy event ful years ; and tlie fact.that he is now, aceqrdiug to the course of nature, nearing .” fhe.siniset of life,” tinges the. entire retrospect with a hallowed glow of Christian complacency- Wliich wins and charms-the mi iid-.anil, heart of the reader., • .

He dutifully devotes about liftv pages to the remarkable family whose name he bears—the honored parents .and a group of. brothers and sisters, every one of whom merited even. more than the eulogy his pen bestows; for all attained the eminence which Christian character alone imparts. Six of the sons bceamc preachers.of the everlasting gospel, and. the covenant grace and blessing is flow­ing on to “ children's children.1” ‘

Of his own childhood, conversion and early ministry'thb motlest- reeord is sutli- ciently enlivened- with adventure to bring, out that touch of nature which makes kindred of us all, and the roll-call of tweuty-tivo or thirty different pastoml charges * is. an interblending of history, philosophy, and social life wliich goes far to explain*and vindicate the local attach­ment and love witli 'which a Jersey Methodist minister regards bis native heath. . * .-.

A considerable portion of. these mem­ories are memorials of associate ministers ■promoted during the. author’s lifetime trom service in the Xew Jersey and Xewark Conferences to the blissful home of the redeemed. In this department" the ability, versatility.and kindly spirit (if tbe writer shine out with uncommon lustre. The book becomes a precious repository of .'noted 'names and heroic labors in advancing the kingdom of Jesus Jesus. . . ■
