Delightful Party.

The members and friends of the Presbyterian church met last night at the residence of Mrs.- V. L. Early, 100 W. Maln'street and enjoyed themselves highly ia a birthday social. The evening was given up to music and a good] social time. Refreshments were served free to all, consisting of cream, cake and coffee. The invitations were accompanied with a little money-bag, with the request to put the number of pennies equalling the years of your age therein, and the receipts amounted to over $44.75, with a number still to hear from which is very gratifying to the ladies. A number of responses were received from friends abroad expressing regrets at not being able to be present, accompanied with the amount of their age. Mr. and Mrs. Will Glasscock and Miss Jessie Hamilton came over from Indianapolis especially to attend. There seems to be a general revival among the churches and the Presbyterians are not going to be behind. The lecture course consisting of James Whitcomb Riley, Henry Watterson and others, is au assured fact as the tickets have already been sold, which will net an amount of no small proportion. Let the good work go on and Greenfield will be one of the model towns of the state.

LEE C. THAYER.

Some one robbed Jas. A. White, who lives 3 miles Southwest of Greenfield, of $7.00 Wednesday night. It was taken from his pants pocket during the night. Robberies are becomiug entirely too common. Some parties need to go to the pen.

The commonplaces of every day criticism seem tame and stale, when its subject is a genius so subtle, delicate and rare, as that of this lovely and gifted lady. Miss Coombs appeals to every better emotion of the human heart woman's tenderness, self-abnegation, noble impulses and pure affection have never, within our memory, found an interpreter so faithful and true.—Sidney, (Australia) News. Miss Coombs will appear at Masonic Hall next Monday night.

Snow at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 21.—Louisville got a taste of its slice of the cold wave yesterday and last night the mercury was hanging heavily around the freezing point. A light snow began falling about midnight.

Lay in Your Supply at Once. CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—Bar iron will be advanced in price. This has been decided by the Merchants' Bar Iron association in session at the Auditorium.

At the Hub.

BOSTON, NOV. 21.—The advance gnard of the approaching cold wave reached Boston last night. Snow began falling at 11 o'clock.

TO HEAR HER SING.

To see her perfect head thrown back, While from her lips (the daintiest ever kissed) There ripples forth a melody so free, So joyous and so glad, the happy birds

Are moved to wonder on the maple tree Just at the window, where she sits and sings, Herself the sweetest among all sweet things!

The little psyche knot of golden hair— I wonder oft if angels wears theirs so— The soulful eyes uplifted—I am sure Not angel, waman, St. Cecilia's self

Could look more fair or more divinely pure I The bunch of lilies on her girlish breast Show scarcely white against her bosom's snow— But with an odorous sigh they closer cling, Glad to be near her, glad to hear her sing! —Nannie L. Hutter in Southern Magazine.

A PRECEDENT

"But don't you think," said ItoMiss Hewitt, "that the end justifies the means?" She shook her head. "Oh, no," she said, "that's Jesuitical!" "Well, now, here's an example," I suggested. "You are anxious to sell the contents of this stall, aren't you?" "Oh, yes!" responded Miss Hewitt. "And you would be delighted if some one were to come aud buy it all up: It would be of such use to the charity." "Certainly," said Miss Hewitt promptly. "And would vex Miss Chudleigh over the way?" I added. Miss Hewitt looked at me with suspicion, but I'm sure I was very demure. "Oh, it would be nice, of course, to be successful, she assented. "It would mean £50. "May I trouble you for another ice?" said I, feeling that I was bound to do something after that. "Thank you—strawberry Well, as I was saying, if you could find a means of getting rid of all this, and thereby benefiting the charity by so much, you v,#vild feel disposed to take it, even if it wasn't quite—well —quite, you know." "I wouldn't do anything dishonest, put in Miss Hewitt quickly. "Oh, I wasn't talking of anything dishonest," I protested. "I was only thinking that there might be other means, not dishonest, you know, but just a little—well, not quite conventional, you know." "What sort of means?" asked Miss Hewitt curiously. "Why, now," I said, "you have sold very little all the day, haven't you?" Miss Hewitt bit her lips, and a disconsolate look came into her face. "While I've been here, "I said, "you have only disposed of two pairs of stockings, one woolen comforter for the hot weather and a sort of—a kind of—I didn't quite see, but I thought it looked like a—" "I know I haven't sold much," broke in Miss Hewitt hastily, and with a slight accession of color. "You have only bought a few ices." I looked meditative. "So I have," I said, feeling that another call was made upon me. "I wonder if I might—no perhaps better not. I suppose you haven't such a thing as a baby's perambulator, Miss Hewitt?" Miss Hewitt was not amused. She had only an eye to a bargain. "No,"she said eagerly, "I'm afraid I haven't, but I've got a very nicely dressed cradle, and some rattles— and"— "All, "said I, shaking my head, "I'm afraid it's not old enough for those things." She sighed and glanced across the way, where Miss Chudleigh was engaged in a roaring trade. "I think I might have one more ice," I said very bravely. It was not so very hard, after all. The heat was very great, and they soon melted.

Miss Hewitt was very nice about it. "Are you sure you ought to?" she asked doubtfully. "Miss Hewitt," said I, "you are much too scrupulous. That is the reason of your failure. And yet you would have sold me a cradle and rattles with perfect equanimity, knowing that I am a bachelor. The inconsistency of your sex is a puzzle," I remarked, shaking my head. "Oh, but I didn't think about that!" she said, with a blush. "I only thought you wanted"— "Come, then," I said, "what would you do to get rid of all your articles of commerce?" Miss Hewitt's eyes opened. "Oh, if I could only do that!" she exclaimed. "Well, how far would you be prepared to go for it?" said I insinuatingly. She paused. "I'd—I'd give up the ball tonight," she exclaimed impulsively. I shook my head. "I have no means of gauging the value of that renunciation," I said thoughtfully, "but possibly it is greater than the one I know which would enable you to sell your stall." Oh, do you know a way cried she breathlessly. "Why, certainly, "said I, still reflectively. "Mr. Randall, tell me," she pleaded, clasping her hands and putting her elbows on the stall. She looked eagerly into my face. I really had no notion until that moment, but somehow her action put it into my head. "Have you ever heard of the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire, Miss Hewitt?" I asked.

Miss Hewitt leaned, staring at me for a moment, and then a look of intelligence came into her eyes, her color started, and she moved away. "I don't think you should make that kind of jest," she remarked disdainfully. "It's not a jest," I answered reassuringly. "Then you're all the horrider," she returned, feigning to be busy with her commerce. "But," I said in perplexity, "I don't see—I only asked you if you remembered the Duchess of Devonshire—the one What's-his-name painted, you know." Miss Hewitt was much embarrassed. Her face took on many expressions. "But you"— she began and stopped. "Do you remember her?" I asked. "Of course," said Miss Hewitt snappishly. "Well, then," I said, "why am I horrid?" She paid me no attention, but began shifting the things upon the stall in a reckless way. Oh," I exclaimed suddenly, "I see what you were thinking of! You thought I meant—I see now. You thought that I was advising you to sell"— Miss Hewitt got redder than ever. "I didn't think anything of the sort," she exclaimed hurriedly and dusting away at nothing, "and I wish you'd go away if you're not going to buy anything." "I should like another ice, please," said I.

Miss Hewitt was somewhat taken aback and looked as if she would like to speak, but she only frowned and dumped

another ioe upon the counter. "But now you have suggested it," I went on, considering, "it's not at all a bad idea." Miss Hewitt moved to the farther end of the stall and sold another pair of stockings. "It's quite worth thinking of," I said when she was within hearing again. "I am glad you mentioned it." "I never mentioned anything," she retorted hotly. "No, of course you didn't mention it," I agreed, "but I don't see why you should be angry, because we are discussing calmly"— "I'm not discussing anything," she observed tartly. "No," said I, "but if the Duchess of Devonshire thought it a good deed to purchase what she considered the welfare of her country by allowing voters to kiss her I don't think you should be offended if, for the sake of an excellent charity"— "I am not the Duchess of Devonshire," said Miss Hewitt shortly. "I don't suppose," I Raid, "that it was much of a kiss." Miss Hewitt's nostrils curled in scorn. "Good people are always so particular," I said philosophically. Miss Hewitt's indignation broke forth. "Do you suppose, Mr. Randall," said she sarcastically, "that one would allow any one that wished to"— "Oh, I never said any one," I interrupted hastily. "No certainly not any one." She looked at me with undisguised hauteur. I glanced about the stall. "I should like to have a lot of those things," I said. "I could send them to a children's hospital, you know." Miss Hewitt's face relaxed slightly. "They would be very useful," she said. "It would be £50, wouldn't it?" I aslied, as if entering on a calculation. "Yes," said Miss Hewitt, with a little show of excitement "£45 if any one took the lot.'' I fingered in my pocket and hesitated. "I'm afraid"— said I. "You see, I forgot I had promised to buy a quantity of flowers for the infirmary," I remarked, glancing at Miss Ghudleigh's stall. Miss Hewitt's face fell, but she said nothing. I took out my pocketbcok and extracted some notes, dividing my looks between the two stalls in a hesitating way. "I think the children in the hospital would like the toys very much," said Miss Hewitt nervously. "Yes they could play with the stockings nicely, couldn't they?" said I. She paid no heed to this remark. "I wonder if Miss Chudleigh would do what the duchess did?" I observed presently. "Perhaps you had better ask her," said Miss Hewitt sarcastically. "Oh, no! I said hurriedly. "I was only wondering. For the sake of the poor, people do make sacrifices, I suppose." "I don't believe she did let them—let them kiss her," remarked Miss Hewitt, after a pause and contemplating a wooden horse. "Don't you?" I asked, looking up. "What did they do, do you think?" Miss Hewitt examined the toy carefully. "Oh, she said indifferently, "I should think she merely pretended." "Pretended?" I echoed. "Yes they only kissed—just—not quite—I mean they didn't really touch her," she explained, with more interest in the horse. I considered this. "But some of them," I objected, "would not have been content to be put off that way. They must have really"— "Oh, if any one liked to be rude and take advantage like that," she said disdainfully, "she couldn't help it, poor thing!" "No,"I assented, "I suppose she couldn't, and she must Lave hated it all the time." "Of course she did," said Miss Hewitt, now inspecting a doll. "But she did it out of a sense of duty—to benefit her country," I concluded. "A man would never have been so unselfish," said Miss Hewitt. "Never," I said emphatically. "But do you think that women are capable of such an act of self sacrifice in these days?" I asked. "Of course," said Miss Hewitt, watching some people go by with great interest, "if—if they only—only pretended to." "But if there was an accident?" I ventured. Miss Hewitt apparently did not hear this. "Do you really think," I persisted, "that a woman—a girl—would do a thing like that?"

She wouldn 't—she couldn 't—of course the duchess did not let it pretend to be done—in—before any one else. "Not, for example, in a room like this?" I said, looking round the bazaar. "How, then?" "Afterward," murmured Miss Hewitt, bending down to pick up a pin, I suppose. "Oh," I said, "she would only promise, then. Miss Hewitt said nothing. I rose. "Well, I'm afraid I must be really going,'' I said, holding out my hand. "I think if she were really honest she would have to keep her promise," said Miss Hewitt in a low voice.

I looked at her, but she was not looking at me. "I think you have given me two waltzes tonight," I observed. "It isn't very generous usage." "I'm sure it's quite enough," said Miss Hewitt firmly. "Well, at any rate, let us sit out the second," I suggested. Miss Hewitt looked at me in surprise.. "I thought you liked dancing," she said innocently. "Oh, sometimes!" I said. "But we might have a talk in the conservatory. It's sure to be very hot." "Do you think it is?" said she. "Certain." "Oh, we'll see!" said she nonchalantly. I turned to go. "By the way," said I, leaning on the stall confidentially, "shall I leave you the £50 now? And then you can send the things to the hospital at once, you know." Miss Hewitt avoided my eye. "I didn't know," she began and broke off. "Perhaps it would be better,'' she murmured. I offered my hand. "Tonight, then," I said. She did look at me at last, but it was quite by accident—just the sort of accident that happened in the conservatory.—H. B. Marriott-Watson in Black and White.

Mr. Spurgeon as a Smoker. The Rev. W. Williams, in his "Personal Reminiscences of C. H. Spurgeon," tells an anecdote concerning the great preacher as a smoker. Some gentleman wrote to Mr. Spurgeon, saying "he had beard he smoked and could not believe it true. Would Mr. Spurgeon write and tell him if it really was so?" The reply sent was as follows: "Dear

I cultivate my flowers and burn my weeds. Yours truly, C. H. Spurgeon."—Westminster Gazette.
