shape seemingly but a few hundred
feet above the hotuon, and apparently
the missing link 'twixt heaven and
earth hovered in the southwest, cre
ated an anxious pit-a-pat iu thc
bosoms of millions of an t'ous olsor

inspiring character ever witnessed by
mortal man, giving each and every
one of tho motley throng (in a figura
tive eeiiscj a much nearer view of the
thrcahqld of eternity than ever they
saw before. However, the wort re
suite were an extremely ftitr breeze, a
much needed rain shower, and a few
hours loss of hfcep.
A Pleasant Occasion.
