Laughter.] 1 f.esr, aii, exery thing. :• forgotten and for given to-night, and we heartily bid you welcome. \ ur eloquent secretary. Mr. Kde*. when pressed upon me the duty of extending • s wcliome .aal year, appealed to me to do -o in remembrance of the many country ergymen who would come down here from ' little churches and parishes on the hill side* and the mountain slope* and the quiet xaneys, and whose live* of retirement and faithful service and sacrifice were deserving f the warmest and kindest greeting and rc « gmtion. living ray seif the son of a country clergyman, and the grandson also of a < urtry clergyman, both of whom, with their fe..ow§, have borne the pnvationa and rendered the sacrifices of the pure and aim * .e but great-hearted and magnificently in* •t .- r.uaj x equipped sentinels on the out *'.*• f Z.«*n . having myself been a part of * history, and basing m\*t.f known the * • yav-r* and trouble* that environ and s incur.4 them. 1 could cot deny the call. A; .»u%r. \ And to these pioneers in the twits'* • f ipx-rai religion we extend a wel inr of e*p« ml warmth. 1 .lie ' f il.e country minister a» it was •10 year* ag . and as it is now, I imagine, w» ver faintly the picture may he drawn, »( uid set in a grotesque exaggeration. Ue Lad no lime of his own. His labors were never at an end. Two sound, prolonged, • .tboraied sermons, sandwiched with an un abbreviated Sundav school between and an • tening lecture in an adjoining hamlet, con s’. *u!ed the measure of a fair, ordinary Sun day's services. In addition to this, no child ev. r gssped tins vital air so brieHv hut its death must lie commemorated bv a full fu neral discourse, [l.aughter.] So person ever died so old, ao idiotic, so outside the pale of human society, no tramp so un known. no beggar ao tile, but hia demise must be the subject of the parson’s highstt word. I.sughter and applause.J He must neglect nobody : he must l>ear unnoticed the neglect of ev erybody. The annual visitation of the parish is a memory never to be lost until til things are swept beneath oblivion’s horizon. 1 he cheerful snd the gloomy, the wise and the foolish, the gay and the dull, the sweet and the sour, none must be omit ted ; and if any one chances to be omitted the subscription list the coming vaar will testify to the neglect. [Laughter and ap plause.] And so the miniater and hta wife put on their Sunday apparel, and with a tad, professional smile [laughterj start out to make the circuit. They muai take the little bov along, for nature, which delights in con traries, has decreed that the holier the father the wilder the boy [laughter,] and they dare not leave the little boy behind, lest he burn the ham or crucify the cat dur ing their absence. [Laughter and applauae.] And so the harmless, barefoot lad ia dragged in from the outside, ruddv, dirty, in form and shape like the jack of cluba [laughter,] and made to array himself in bit best Sun day go to meeting clothes, cut of a size to admit of impossible, unleas miraculous, fu ture growth. [Laughter.] Upon hia bare feet they put again hi* winter hoots, billowy with undulating wrinkles which no persua sion of tallow can induce to relent from lacerating his ankles and feet. And, al though it ia a hot, scorching August day, they put hia fur cap on hia head, because it is his best one, and the parish like to see the minister’s family well dressed. [Laugh ter.] Arriving at some honest man’^home, they are at once ushered into th< able horrors of the beat room which has not been opened since his last visit, unless for a funeral, and into which no fading ray of sunlight has been permitted to enter and rest upon tha wonderful furniture. [Laughter.] Every chair is a miracle of discomfort, and the little boy ia hoisted up on one of these engines of torture, with whispered warnings not to put his boots on the rounds, and to sit still and behaae him self at his peril. He looks over the room, at the ingrain carpet, with a figure the tiae of a barq door ; the rug before the fireplace worked in wonderful design* in worsted, of a wolf with a swelled head pouncing on a lamb whose only visible leg ia the same aise as hia body; brass andirona; a haircloth sofa; and the little hoy wonders if all the rooms in the mansions of the skiea are equipped as luxuriously as tfcia. [Loud laughter.] The little boy, weary of the oft told tale, pulls out his pocket-handkerchief, —his Sunday go to meeting pocket-handker chief,—a yellow cotton fabric, on the centre of which are printed the ten commandments [laughter,] on one margin of which ia a pic ture of Moses, originally resembling the por traits of John Brown, but from whose face repeated washings have ao dispersed the features that it now look* aa though ho had made the acquaintance of Boston’s best Sullivan. [Laughter.) On the other mar gin ia a representation of Elijah's transla tion, which look* like a Knight of Labor floating in the air on top of a burning freight car. [Loud laughter.] The time drags, and finally a diseased melodeon is unbut toned, and the minister's wife is called upon to play and to sing from two to five dozen psalm tunes, the host striking in on the bass, touching lightly the notes about which he is doubtful, but coming down with com penaating power on the few he is secure on. fLaughter.l At last supper is announced ; and with formal solemnity thev all proceed to the kitchen to discuss it. the minister knows just what it is, and that it will be the same in every house in the parish —the usual bread, butter and tea. but that the meal will be exalted and made illustrious by the addition of quince sauce, and of cookie* with caraway seed. The good man of the house seizes the bread tray to pas* around its contents, when he is recalled to the for gotten proprieties by a kick under the table from his wife, whereupon he pretends to have been bruahing flies from off the loaf, and innocently asks the minister to say grace. [Laughter.] At last the dreadful day is over, and the minister return* home and sits down w ith a wean sigh. The little boy pulls off his suit of torture, resumes his semi-nudity, rushes out of doors, leapa like an antelope, shouts like a Comanche and races off to the pasture after the cows. And when the weary round is over, and when the parish has been visited ail through, on the tablets of the minister's aching brain are catalogued every baby’s age and the number of teeth they have cut, every pain, every misfortune, every ill, every contention, every dispute that has occurred during the year ; and he can fix and locate ever) toothache, every twinge of rheuma tism. every cold and every bunion that have assailed his fold during the past year. The minister's children, too, are put upon a special deportment diet which is always i open to criticism. I know whereof I speak. * [Laughter.] If the little hoy happens to shy a stone at a vagrant rooster or t i :*.t.ng cat. the people wonder whether or not the religion that the pastor preaches so clean; j on Sunday is in use at home. The boy must have his Sunday school lesson, although it ;s i not at ail the style of the other boys; ar.d when his teacher propounds sundry exh;. arating and highly morally educational j conundrums, such as “What prophet had a J sheepskin jacket with the wool on and “What king had an iren bedstead that boy's peace of mind it gone for the wrek.ar.i > he is compelled to search the Bible the whole seten days to answer the question, and finally, on Sunday morning, the g (>d parson has to cleave the biblical rock f« r him, let loose the forbidden secret and per mit him to go to church proud in his *t ien ' plumes. Hi* houae it not hit eastJe. Anybody and everybody may invade it at piessure. and a.i *x{>eet le find it in good clerical keeping «• a.l time*; and when a knr>ck come* or. the door the minister’* wife «wrep* with a h-**!v glance the room to *ee that it i* a.; m g mmiaterial shape and that no stray are r*f epadea or displaced dice bo* from the back gammon board are visible. I need nf't speak of the financial annoyances of the minister and the liberty that the suhscr.ber* to hia little salary take of unloading upon the poor parson everything of which then have an unmarketable excess, and of requir ing that it be credited against their s;il •cription . how hi* little income is abridge : m the winter by forced credits of wood. a., sled length, and ad of such complication ' fibre and knota that nothing but supernatur al wedges and miraculous billet* ran ever clcane it, and the pc#r minister and the b \ hare to fight hard to keep up with the firr ; nor how in the spring hia pantry, from the showers of veal that come ;n from the neigh bors. look* like the anticipation of the re turn of a whole drove of prodigal son* at once. [Laughter.] Neither need I say how in the fall, when the procession < ome* and caat* l< ads of pumpkin* in his dooryard day after day, it causes that yard to resemble the garden of golder. fruit. The*e sre some of the annoyance* — ;>erhap§ you might tl..:.* more than annoyances—of the poor countrv minister. On the other hsnd. nowhere does the re .ation of pastor and peop.e ex;*‘ in such perfect truth as in the country . nowhere .§ 1 it shown in greater perfection than between the country pastor and his people. It is long continued, intimate and affectionate. The minister i* no mere inatrumentalstN necessary to the greatness, the glory or the repute of his parishioners ; no mere factor m an organization, but he 21 interwoven with every affection, with every human ex perience, with every love and every loss, every disaster, every ;oy and woe of his pe pie. The maiden that he joins in marriage to her lover it the same girl upon whose ( brow 20 years before he had sprinkled the christening drops ; the groom is the son of hi* neighbor aid his friend. Their children grow up all around him, and he watches them &« hit own, and feel* the responsibility of a shepherd for hi* flock He buries the dead, not with any rounded pbrs«** uf t quence, nor with graces of elocution, b it with streaming eyea and a br aen * . e. Nowhere where mar. meets his ft.. .« there such au entwining, such au assimila ting of holy unity and of feeling a* between the country pastor and his fluck. In . ,w they look upward together, spanned bv a bow whose warp it the tear of sympathy arm whose woof is 'he sunbeam f.om heaven. Yes. good shepherds, we know you wed ; und we reach out to clasp those hand* that have so often been outstretched in !»enedic tion* upon your flocks, and we draw you * nearer to us, bidding you a thousand times welcome. [Great applause.] 8ocial Purity. At the anniversary of the Central Chicago i Union, April JJ. Miss Willard gave an ad dress on the new department of -Social l'urity The Latest and Greatest Crusade." It is full of the finest utterances of this gifted and brave leader. Can any take exception to this prophecy of the outcome of the rev I olution now quietly working its wav through | every strata of social life, and finding ex pression on statute book of state after state?—-The manhood of America it the noblest and most masterful on earth, because i it has most mastery of itself. Nor is there any explanation of this fact so adequate us that our everyday religion has to developed i women and refined men that men think of us with respect and reverence ; see us from many angles of vision ; realize our power on the industrial plane ; recognize the possibili ty of intellectual comradeship with ut; count on our help in all religious and philanthropic movements, and a little beyond the swing ing door of the twentieth century, will seat us beside themselves upon the’ throne of government. Then shall be enacted such a code of laws for the protection of woman's honor as the world has never seen or dreamed of, for it shall protect man's honor, too ! Far the first time in history he shall lie held to equal penalties with woman, and his superior physical strength shall be counted at its just value as presumptive evidence against him in all cases of indecorous or cruel treatment toward the weak. Then shall woman, with all the avenues of devel opment for brain and hand wide open to her, and woman in the court and on the jury to defend her interests, begin to know her own value and find her inclinations and temptations to a debasing life reduced to zero. . . . This great uplift of the working class has,in it biassed bopea for women, and hence for social purity. Whatever takes the yoke from off the laboring man help* to a truer individuality the woman by bis side. But the outworking of this mightiest of re forms, which, in the last analysis, we have perceived to be pert and parcel of the great temperance movement, ia no more in the in terest of woman lhan of man. ‘For they riee or fell together, dwarfed or God-like, bound or free !’ ” —Fint Small Boy: “Say, Johnny, where are you in Sunday-echool ?” Second Small Boy : “Oh, we’re in the middle of original sin."

(For the Ellsworth American.] Tires Island, May, 1886. Friend Chilcott: I send you for publication the following recipe for the check and in tome cases cure of diabetes. It is published in the columns of the New \ork Journal of Commerce in the column dedicated to “Replies and De cisions,” and is copyrighted, hut I take it in a matter of this kind, the proprietor* would have no objections to hating it re ! printed, it is of so much public importance.* The recipe reads as follows : \N e have been asked by s number of per | sons to repeat the biil of* fare published by I u* five years ago, as the only check to that insidious disease known as diabetes. Med- * icine will do but little good, and the only | help must come from a thorough change of j diet. All starchy food must he wholly , avoided.

Fish of all kind*, and meat of all kinds except I is - j er. Reef and mutton are best, but tripe, ham, tongue, bacon and sausages, ara safe for those who like them. Poultry and game 1 of all kinds, hut no sweet jellies or sauce* with them. Saians, including lettuce, cu cumbers. water cresses, and cabbage. (VI f ry. asparagus and tomatoes are rather to | , l>e avoided. Potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips, pea*, beans and rice are absolutely prohibit ed. ami must in no case be touched. Cauliflower, spinach, cabbage and string beans are recommended.

All kinds of tsrt fruits, especially peach es and strawberries with cream, but no sug ar. may he freely eaten.

Hero-worshipers have a better time of it than the heroes who have to submit to their worship. The latter (including all dis tinguished men) are largely at the mercy of a class of admirers who are too obtuse to j see any violation of good manners or taste in their pursuit of interviews and auto graphs. William Warren tells a delicious story about a St. Louis man who went Last last summer and hunted up the poet Whittier. He found the quiet old Quaker poet trying to hide from civilization in a farmhouse near Xahant. He had gone there to escape just * such bores as the St. Louis man was. At first he declined to see the visitor,say- j ing that he was not feeling strong, but the Missouri man was so persistent that at la*t Whittier yielded, and he was admitted. He pounced upon the poet, and nearly shook his arm from the socket. He declared that he adored the poet’s works—in fact, he read nothing else. He asked Whittier to write his name a few hundred times on a sheet of note paper, that he might distribute the autographs among his friends, and it was all the poet could do to keep the impetuous visitor from cutting the buttons from his coat to carry ! away as mementos. “And all the time," said Whittier pa- , thetically as he told his adventure, ‘•he called me Whittaker.”—Youth’s Companion. The Ladies. Beauty and style are not the surest pass ports to respectability—some of the noblest specimens of womanhood that the world has ever seen have presented the plainest and most unprepossessing appearance. A woman’s worth is to be estimated by the real goodness of her heart, the greatness of her soul, and the purity and sweetness of her character ; and a well balanced mind and temper are lovely and attractive. Be her face ever so plain and her figure ever so homely, she makes the best of wives and the truest of mothers. She has a higher purpose in living than the beautiful yet vain and super cilious woman, who has no higher ambition than to flaunt her finery on the streets, or to gratify her inordinate vanity by exacting flattery and praise from a society whose compliments are as hollow as they are insin cere. —Queen Kapoline, the consort of King j Kalakaua of Hawaii, will begin a tour of j the United States in August. 1 f From Our Kojrular correspondent* j Washington Letter. Washington, June 21,1886. The most interesting event of the week, probably, on Capitol Hill, was the defeat of the Tariff debate in the House of Repre sentative*. Among social events, the two receptions given by the President were first in importance. A Brazilian Prince visited the city to see the sights, Leopold, grandson of Kmperor Don Pedro, and two conven tions, one of physicians and the other of horticulturists, composed of delegates from every state in the Union, convened in t hi * rendezvous for national assemblies. Nothing could have testified more strongly to the interest which the public takes in the President's bride than the enormous throng of citizens which passed through,the parlors of the White House at the people's recept ion. It is said by the oldest attaches of the Mansion that the crowd was the largest seen there since the days of Abraham Lin coln. To • stranger in this country the con course was astonishing. The people were wedged in solid ranks, six deep, from the Higgs House to the farthest entrance of the White House, before the reception opened. After it had been in progress two hours, and ail the parlors seemed crowded to their utmost capacity, the crowd outside was as dense and eager as it had been two hours previously. The main objection to so great a mass of sovereigns, was the difficulty it presented in hasing a good look at the bride ami bride groom. When so many thousands of people were pressing on one's heels it seem ed beyond all reason to pause for a single second, even to shake hands. But the Presi dent was m the best of humor, his wife won derfully gracious, and the cr wd was good natured and patient despite the hurrying and pushing and knocking and squeezing it had to endure on every side. when Mr. i leve.and was asked, prior to the reception, how the crowd should he handled, he replied. “Treat everybody auke. This is a public reception and no favoritism must be shown." With these in struction* the task was comparatively > ssv.

He was well under way, when unfortunately for him, he was met by Gen. Slocum coming to the front. “ ‘What are you doing here? Get hack to your post!’ the General shouted. “The poor fellow stopped still and trem bled like a leaf, but made no reply. “ ‘Get back to your post, you miserable coward! Aren't you ashamed of yourself to be skulking back here when you should he in the front with your brave comrades ?* “Still the man made no reply, but com menced to cry like a year-old infant. “ ‘You infamous, sneaking coward!’shout ed the infuriated General, *get back to your post ! I’ll ride you down like a dog. Why, you are nothing but a baby.’ “ ‘1-1-1*11 t-t-tell you what, General,’ said the blubbering fellow, Tdg-g-give anything just now if I was a b-b-baby; and i-i-if I had my choice I’d rather be a female b-b-baby.’” —Mr. Gladstone made a triumphant journey Thursday from London to Edin burg.

Business suspended, school closed, and old and young of both sexes entered into the spirit of the day and not only tried to enjoy themselves, but to do something to add to the enjoyment of other*. The public exercises of the day began about 10.30 A. M., with a ••horrible” parade. About twenty-five men and boys with masks and fantastic dress made a very interesting pro cession, especially so to the children. A great deal of ingenuity was displayed in the make-up of some of the costumes. Several of the horses shared in the display of rags, ribbons and feathers, old “shiner" with his straw hat and overalls taking the lead. The parade ended at the base ball ground where a picnic dinner was served in a large tent erected for this purpose. Following the dinner there were potato race, wheelbarrow race, foot race. \c., winding up with a game of base ball. At 6 I'.

It was still br ad daylight, and for some reason or other the train was pulled up some ::ttlc way ut s;de the station. "All tickets ready, p!ea»e”’ shouted the ticket collector. Two of our friends promptly found theirs, ready for the ’icket collector, when he should make his appearance. The third searched this pocket, that pocket, here, there, everywhere, but could find no ticket. "Where :s my ticker ?” he said. "I kn >w I had one right enough when I started. Ymi fellows s*w me get it. didn’t you ?” he asked. Yes. y u had it right enough,” they said. "Where can you have put it Y" "I don't know . blessed if I do,” he re p.ied. in desperation.

"Wiil you fellows lend me some dibs J" Roth said they were as high and dry as he was as regarded money. "Tick ets. please "’ said the collector, at last, quite close to the carriage. “What shall I do?" said the ticketless one. "Oh, get under ’he seat!" said the others. "Quick, q i.-k. man!

"You have given me three tickets, sir.” he said ; "hut I see only two gentlemen. Where is the third?" "Oh. he’s under the seat," they said, with the greatest nonchalance, as if it ! were an ordinary, every-day affair. "Under the seat ’" echoed the ticket collector, in a tone of surprise. "What is he doing there?" "Oh, he always travels under the seat," they said. "He prefers it.” Whereupon, the poor fellow crawled out from under the scat, in a terrible state of heat, and covered with dust and dirt, looking rather ashamed of himself.

TIIB RECONCILIATION BETWEEN HIM AND HANNIBAL HAMLIN. [Bangor Loiter to Lewiston Journal.! Hon. William H. McCrillis has been a strong character on the Bangor stage for half a century. When I called at his office, a few days ago, there was a litter of papers on the floor and a hodge-podge of law books on the sofa and table. The room looked more like a college student's den than the sanctum of a millionaire. Mr. McCrillis said he had recently given up his law practice, af ter nearly 50 years in the harness and now uses his office chiefly for writing a few let ters, drawing checks and taking naps after dinner. Mr. McCrillis is probably the richest lawyer n Maine. He was born, poor, in New Hampshire. A lucrative practice and fore-sighted investments in timber lands have made him worth a million or more. He has meddled little with politics, but has had an unusually large acquaintance with public men, enjoys giving from his treasure of reminiscence and is a most agreeable companion. Indeed, although he is 7i years old, there is no man in Bangor whose society is better relished by people ef all ages than his, or who is a more welcome visitor at the club. Speaking of the poverty and adventures of his boyhood, Mr. McCrillis told incident ally the story of th# way in which he man aged to hear a case argued by those two legal giants, Jeremiah Mason and Daniel Webster. ••I lived at Ureal rails, said he. ‘ Web ster and Mason were to speak <n the Ciliey will case at Exeter, 20 miles away. This Ciliey was a relative of that Jonathan Ciliey who fought the duel with Graves. He left a large property and there was a great tight over it. My chum and I were very anx ious to hear Webster and Mason. My chum was Gus Hale, a brother of John E. Hale, the wittiest statesman of his gener ation. We had no money and the question w as Ik n in get to Exeter. My father would let me have a horse, but being a po<r doctor, had no carnage but a g:g. Gus found a wagon to go with my horse and we started out. Where to stay after we ar rived in Exeter, vm a still more vexatious Question. We knew nobody m town but Judge Smith, who had married a Hale and was a distant relative to my chum. We concluded to try him, although he was a man of high position and we were somewhat in awe of him. I shall never forget how cordially he welcomed us two boys and how hospitably he entertained us. The triai wa* held in the meeting house. There was a great crowd, but Judge Smitfi tr ^k us under his wing and secured g‘>od seat* for us M**nn argued in the forenoon and made a rnss'er!v plea. At dinner. Judge >unith said. ‘Daniel is sacred. He is not going to spread any flowers over his course th.s after noon but he is going to make a desperate fight.’ The Judge was right. Webster fought like a lion. Mason had warned the jury to beware of the danger of being biind ed by hit opponent’s eloquence W *h one complimentary scn'er.ce Webster parr e i this stroke and pitched in. He won the case. It was the greatest treat of my y uth — witnessing this battle >f the g.an**." Though now a Democrat, Mr. Mc( r... * wa* a delegate to the Republican nat; nai convention at Chicago that nominated Lin coin and Ham.in. He and Mr. ILn.ne were the two men who first congratulated Mr. Etncoln in person. “I was appointed on the (. >mmittee to g.> to Sprmgtiel 1 and fumu-.y r.otifv Mr. Lincoln of his nominate n,' said Mr. McCrillis. “Mr. Riaine was not a de.e gate, but wished to see Mr. Lincoln. He and I took a tram in advance of the com mittee and enjoyed a pleasant interv *« with him. I could not help noticing the p a nness of Mr. Lincoln’* surroundings. On going out I remarked u Mr.Biame that I bad taken an inventory of the furniture in the pjiuor,while we had been talking, and I did not believe that the vrh > of s* would fetch *•'»«> at auction ' Mr Lincoln was a great man.

Hi* \ turned the tide in The convention from Hank.* to Hamlin.” Twenty-one years age. Mr. McCn.-.s and Mr. Ham.in had a personal difference, and although the bitterness of feeling a >ori passed away , they did not speak to each other in all that time till one day last spring, when a reconciliation wa* efft . fed by a mutual friend in a dramatic and affecting scene at the Tarratme Club, which wa* pictured vividly for me by a prominent citi zen of Bangor, during a recenf visit. Hon. (’ha*. V. Whitten, a Boston mer chant, came to Bangor on business, and was entertained by Mr. Mc( ri.ii*. who t »ok him to drive in the forenoon, and in the afterm u escorted him to the Tarratme Club, where a reception to him had been arranged. Dur ing the day Mr. Whitten indented t an other man ins wish to meet Mr. Hamlin,ar. i had been told of the alienation existing be tween the two venerable citizens. Before going to the club. Mr. Whitten planned in his nnnd the scene that f dlowed. A large number of Bangor's solid men assembled at tne cub room to meet him. Among them wa* the ex \ ice President. Introductions ensued. Can*. L. J. Morse introduced Mr. Whitten to Mr. Hamlin. “I am very glad to meet you,’ said Mr. \\ ■ tun, “and l have a friend here w 1 wish to introduce you. Let me make you ac quainted with the Hon. Wm. II. McCriiii* of Bangor’” If a chandelier had fallen out of the ceil ing, the company would not have been more astonished, (treat tears rushed to the eyes of both the old men. “McCrillis, put it there !” exclaimed Mr. Hamlin in a voice husky with emotion. ‘•I've wanted to do this for years, but I did not know how it would be received.” The two veterans shook hands heartily, and were as happy as two lovers who had quarrelled and made up. 8he Wanted a Wind Sucker. A country woman called on Dr.-.who had, a few days before, inserted a full up per set of teeth without the usual air cham ber, and said to the doctor that her teeth were not right. The doctor asked what was wrong with them. Why, she said her plate had no “wind sucker,” that her neighbor’s, Mrs.-.plate had a wind sucker. The doctor asked iffcshe could wear them. “Yes.” “Do you est with them ?” “Yes.” “Do they stay firmly in your mouth?” “Yes.” Then the doctor explained that her whole plate was a wind| sucker, and could suck more wind than it was possible for that lit tle spot in the center of the plate. With this explanation she went away sat isfied that her plate was the better “wind sucker” after ail.—Chambersburg Herald. —“I say, pa, dear,” said a society butter fly, “did you see the Morgan art collection ! when you were in New York?” “No, my dear; but 1 will the next time I go." “But, pa, you know the painting* are all sold now.
