As wo witness the sewer going forth to his tlelus at seed time , wo regard It as ab normal that ho should not map , The proverb has stated P. to - the Hebrews - brows , by whom It was readily understood. Our Lord , however , used It In a good sense , nnd It has gone through a transition state , m the course of which it has lost Us harshness and become mellow and kindly. "There is a sowing nnd reaping In the min istry. Men arc to bo sewers and reapers , fellow laborers with ( Jod. A consecrated heart that works out Its devotion In doing God service has a beauty that exceeds any. thing in nnturo. This truth has need of em phasis. There U so much now-a-dnys that loads all classes of society , and especially the youth , to regard the aim of our being as stop- pine at the production of a merely tinman and beautiful manhood and womanhood. The scattering of the seed which shall germinate , bud. blossom , and bring forth fruits of tbo spirit Is a wesont necessity. " 'I am profoundly impressed with the Prov idence which today establishes the relation of pastor and people. A portion of scripture appertaining to the ministry finds its old interpretation among you : I send you to reap that xvhorcon vo bestowed no labor. The essential work of the ministry is never ending. Sewers coma and sewers go , but humanity remains with all Its fears and hopes ; with Its need or the over present Savior. In fullllling the oftlco of the minis try no one exhausts all its girts. Where one is'strong as a sewer , auothors1 strength may boas a reaper. There arc differences of ad ministration , yet the same Holy Spirit who sanctities us severely. L.lko the apostle of old , the solicitous thought has come , breth ren , receive us. That anxious thought how ever , has oroKen Its cloud in order to show its silver lining , and the cadences of fear have died away before deeds which signify that cordial welcome beams upon the newly found parishioners.

She was mighty vindictive , that girl , and In a thousand ways made mo so mad I would have liked to bow- siring her. "At last I struck it. I had an electric bell in my room , nnd , watching my op- porlunily , I disconnected the wire and attached it to tlio boll which represented tlio front door. Then when I would wake up of mornings I would roach out and press the button. The girl , of course , would liustlo to the front door , and would find nobody. By and by I'd ring again. and yet ngaiu. When I hud got tired of lying abed and touching the bell fcutlon , I would got up and leisurely dress , over and anon pausing lo give tlio boll a ring. "Tlio flrst morning I did this I found the girl in a rage at breakfast , and she proceeded to vent her spite on mo. straightway made up my mind lo make it interesting for lior.

It lasted about a week , and at the end of. that time the girl had grown so ill-tempered and quarrelsome that she had had fights with everybody in the house , and the landlady , yielding to Iho 'opular ' demand , 'lirod' her.

Where the Native Tlio eastern shore of Maryland has been so little disturbed by Immigration that the region numbers comparatively few surnames , so that at various times it has been necessary to resort to odd but very ancient devices to distinguish between men bearing tlio same name. Tlio commonest device is the patron ymic , by which of two men bearing ex actly the same Christian and family names , one is disling'iishcd ' from Iho olhor by Iho addition "of William , " "of Thomas , "or "of John , " us Iho case may be , Iho moaning of Iho phrase being "son of William , Thomas , or John. " Anolhor device once commonly em ployed was to couple with the name an adjective lo indicate some physical pe culiarity , ns "long" to indicate a tall man. "black" lo indicate a dark man , or "red" to iudienlo a ruddy man. Occa sionally Iho distinguishing word is un complimentary. "Dovil" is not an un usual prefix to Iho Christian or surname of a man having a reputation for vice or. recklessness.

"Our country folk wallow in the mire of their ways , way excessive tolls , en dure , in a woid , a grinding taxation , generation after generation , without ap preciating tlio burden which rests upon them. " Professor Shalor , who wrote the statement quoted , said in the same article , "If wo take the misapplied ex penses of our country ways , if wo count nt the same time the moro social disad vantages which they bring lo tlio people ple , it is probable that the sum of the road tax is greater than thai of our or dinary taxation. " it woum uo a waste 01 space to attempt to prove that the common country roads are as a very general thing in this coun try as bad as they can bo , says a writer in Lippmcolt's. They are so generally bad , indeed , that I have met native born Americans , who hud never traveled abroad , who could not bo brought lo believe - liovo that good roads were possible. The common roads are at once tlio moans and measure of civilization. Such being the fact , it seems a. little strange that wo who boast that our civilization is of a higher typo than that of any other people should have worse roads than nny other country enjoying a stable government. It may bo lhat our bad roads are duo to a woaknes of our communal nyslem jusl at this point , and it mayjjo tlmt our industrial progress lias boon so rapid that wo have not had time lo give proper nltonlion lo other highways than the railroads and water courses. Whatever lias boon Iho cause , wo ha\o long boon paying a very heavy penalty for this neglect , and at this time , in many parts of iho east at least , this tax upon agriculture is so great that the farmers are getting behind more and moro every year and are gonorullv dis satisfied. And , moreover , very few of them know whal is Iho chief cause of Ibis lack of prosperity. They have never had good roads , nor did their falliers and grandfathers. They decline to look at homo for either the cause or tlio remedy , but seem satisfied to believe thai Iho ' 'railroad monopolies" have done all Ibis damage lo their industry. Fortunately , however , many of the best and most nctivo men in the country are keenly alive to the importance of im proving our country roads , and in several stales such laws have boon passed as will enable any enterprising county to build good hard Macadam or Telford roads. > ? ich | roads properly built can bo kept in prdor without much expense , and if tn6y nro not neglected they get holler \ylth ago.

"Tho John Bullgiuo'Mstho title given to tin English loeomollvo of the Peacock pattern , which the Pennsylvania com pany imported from Manchester. It is us ugly ns sin , says the Now York Sun. Its plainness is its first impressive fea ture , for it looks like a great casting of black iron till in ono pice. The smoke stack and the dome and cab tire all that ono sees on top of it , while at the sides it seems to have ono big driver in the middle , set under a curved hood , pre cisely Uko a paddle box on a stoambo.it. This exposed wheel is one of the for ward drivers. The back pair of drivers are hidden under the cab. If it was not for-the cab the blaoic mass would look like all the locomotives ono sees in Eng land , but they have no cabs , as everyone ono knows. Where our cabs are put the English engines have a simple shield of thin iron , with a slender wall , per haps eighteen inches wide , at the side * . This Bullgine , or 1WO , : , as she is olll- cially named , came over without a cab , but our climate is too severe in the winter - tor for engineers and gromen to stand out in the open air , nnd , tharoforo , a regulation house was built upon her. A cowcatcher or pilot has also been added , the English locomotive being destitute of that important adjunct. Enginnor Kerr , ono of the best quick train engineers on the road , was in the Bullglno's cab ready to start her when he got the boll from the dispatcher. "How is she ? She's mighty hard , every way , " paid ho , "a man can't got no com fort on her .it nil. IIovv is she different from the American engines'/ Why , in every way , in every thing. She's what they call u low pressure engine. She has two engines same as ours , ono for each side.but then under the tank she ban a low pressure engine which , they say , makes a great saving of coal. I don't know whether that's all they claim for it , but I do know that she's often very hard to start. When hoi- sine engines start , sometimes , the other crank will bo on tbo center , and then she dent seem to have power enough to start herself. I have to back her and start her two or three times before she'll go. Our qngincd will pick up a train and walk right out on the jump you know. " . John A. Covert , the road foreman , is a graduate from the ranks. Ten years ago ho ran "Long legged Number Ton. " Ho talked interestingly about the Bull- gino. Ho said that is was understood that she was of the blist typo of English engine wiien HIIO wiis uuugm , uuu in uua since boon learned tlmt there is a still bettor model over there. She was ship ped lioro in pieces , the boiler being in ono piece , of course. She was put to gether and got up in Altoona , and has now been running between New York and Philadelphia for some time. She is a compound engine. She has two fourteon-inoh high-pressure cylinders to run the near drivers and n thirty-Inch low-pressure cylinder for the forward drivers. The steam goes into the high pressure cylinders for the roar drivers , and is then exhausted into a big low-pressure cylinder which is forward under the stack. From that the steam exhausts into the stack , She was so still' and hard It was impossible for the men to stay on her at first. She had slight spiral springs when isho cnmo to this country , and when she was running she would close these springs down solidly and then fly up from them so as to fling the engineer oil his feet as ho stood on tlio floor of the cab. When she flung her weight down on these springs the jolt would bo something frightful. That would not do at all , so the spirals were taken out , and new regulation leaf springs , such as our engines have , wore put on her. Now she rides very easily. She is not so fast as tlio Pennsylvania P. class engines. When she is running on their schedule she will lese a few seconds ends in every mile. She is not so power ful as our engines. It is true that she has pulled eleven carsbut many of thorn wore express cars and other lighter ears than the regular passenger coaches. She is cranky at shirting. The en gineers do not like her or any thing about her , but two of them Kerr and llart- man have not allowed prejudice to stand in the way of a fair trial of lior , and they have made her do her best. The bullgino does save coal. Engi neers got what is called a coal premium on all the fuel they nro able to savo. They are alloweu six pounds of coal per" mile for every car they carry. What they save out of that is credited to them at tlio end of each month. Ono half the value of tlio coal saving goes to the engineer and flroman and one half to the company. The constant calcula tion occupies the time of a great force of clerics. Engineer-Ilurtman earned $2i ; extra in this way with tlio John Hull- gino last month. Ho got $2H , his fireman got J2I1 , the company got $ -10 , and the total saving was iJ'.KJ , n considerable sum when the amount in a year is considered. Ordinarily engineers earn between Sit and $15 per month by this premium. "But , " said Mr. Covert , "you ought to sue the English engine when sliu is running nt her best. She Is tlio pretti est sight on the road , She lies down like a race horse or a grayhouno , and she leaps ahead so that you get the full idea of force nnd speed personified in the most picturesque manner. She's as pretty us a woman. She don't look pretty when you Hrbt sco lior. No moro does many u woman whom you afterward think is beautiful. Stand about thirty foot off , at the Kido of the road , and see her come along , and riho's the llnest thing you over saw at the head of a train. She has absolutely no rocking or side motion , nnd she just forged or darts abend , holding Herself down to the track nnd letting out for ull uho is worth. On our engines , you know , the power Is apt plied at the sides exclusively , but hern is right in the center , and she keeps a steady ns a mill wheel. She makes very 11 ttlo noise , because wharo our onginns exhaust into the stack at ninety pounds pressure she exhausts at twenty or thirty pounds. " * * Tlio wonderful speed made in n tos- trip on the Bound Brook division of the Philadelphia & Beading railroad on Au gust 27 last , by the train drawn by on glno No. 200 , has been the absorbing theme in railroad olrclos slnuo tlmt time , su.ys the Philadelphia Uncord. The ease with which tno world's record \ > a * shattered wtion a single mlla was made in tlilrtj-nlno and fouHlfths seconds ends on that nuver-to-hu'forgottcn trip has opened up the door of competition , nnd there is talk of tui attempt at anoth er time in the near future to further lower the record. The engineer who has the proud dls- A REMINDER : We are the Poor M.in's Friend , in that we arc ottering our Lexington Screened Lump Coal-$3.50 per ton Lexington Screened Nut Coal- . . $3.00 per ton 16 MAIN STREET.

He came Into the employ of the North Pennsylvania railroad company In 1SG1 , and lias re mained in continuous service up to the present time. Ho lias boon an engineer for twenty-two years , and has run a pas senger train for seventeen yearn. Near ly all these years Engineer Hogaii 1ms hold the responsible posl of running the Now York express. No little iiinotnit of the credit for the wonderful performance is duo to tlio masterly efforts of Fireman Opear Trcschner , who is 1M years of ago , and who is considered ono of the best fire men in the employ of the Reading rail road. Mr. Teschnor , who is a Jinmi- sotno young follow , has been in the em ploy of the Philadelphia & Koading for four years as flremun in the pas.songor train service , and in his line he has no peer. 4 Tlio engine which made the wonder ful run is known as No. 200. She is in Class D , No. yy , and has what is known as the Woolen lire-box , which burns anthracite coal. Her stroke is 18j.x22 inches , and her drive wheels tire sixty eight inches in diameter. There tire four drivers and a truck , and the tolnl weight of the engine is 1)8,000 ) pounds. The weight of the tender and tank when loaded with coal and walor is 08,300 pounds. The amount of coal used on llio famous trip was ono Ion of egg sixo. The grate surface is about seventy-two square feet. There arc five engines of this description on the Heading , and all wore turned out of the shops in 16SU. \ 4f * Tlio report of the board of trustees of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men , which has boon in session in Terre Haute , Ind. , was made public u few days ago. Tlio board inspected iho books "of the grand ollicers , covering the past ton years. The report brings out some very interesting facts regarding the growth of tliis powerful labor organization , whoso membership lias increased from 1,300 to 23,000 in that time. The head quarters wore moved lo Terre llauloton years ago from Indianapolis , through tlio influence of Grand Secretary Debs , and to this is largely duo the success of the organi/.ation. The Fireman's Maga zine , of which ho is llio editor , has in. creased in circulation from 2,000 to ! I3 , _ 000. During the ton vears the lotal dis bursomenlH were 82,704,035.98. Of the amount $ -140,399. 75 was for tbo dis astrous Chicago , Burlington it Quincy slriko ; $1 , 875,252 in benefits , tlio death or lolal disability payment being $1,500. The receipts and disbursements of tlio general fund were nearly $100,000 , and include the maga/.ino and all headquar ters expenses. There arc -1U8 lodges in Iho United Slates. It is hero made public for the first time that the vote of Iho lodges has ro- sullcd in a decision against building a headquarters building. At tlio 1 1st semi-annual convention ut San Fran cisco it was ordered that the lodge should vote upon Iho proposition to erect n building to cost about $250,000. A two-thirds vote of the lodges was re quired lo aulhoi i/.o the board nnd the grand ollicors to select a city and con tract for the building. All but a few lodges have boon hoard from and tlio vote is about oven. It is thought that at the convention at Cincinnati next year tlio building will be ordered , and then will como Iho conlcst over the silo.
