A traveller who has re cently visned England states that a similar event has occurred there. .He visited a church at Watford in Hert- fordshire, and while wanderingin the graveyard surrounding it, noticed a tree fifteen feet high growing out of a grave. The vertical stones which form- ed the sides of the monument were still standing, but the .heavy horizontal stone which had once covered it had been lifted and had slipped off by its own 'weight. The visitor made inquir- ies about the tomb and was referred to the history of Watford. He looked up the hook and found in it the history of the tomb. It was stated that the lady who was buried there was a. noted unheliever who had expressed a. wish similar to that of the infidel in the well-known story, and, as the visitor saw, with a like result. A few weeks ago the venerable Dr. Antlifl', a well-known Methodist minis- ter, was delivering an address to a number of theological students. “You must not be disappointed,” he said, “if you preach to a small congregation, nor think that your sermon is wasted You do not know what the result may be." To enforce the injunction, be related an instance in his early minis- try. When a very young man he went to preach in a. farm-house kitchen. The congregation was composed mainly of a number of boys and girls. He ad- dressed himself specially to them. On returning heme that night, his wife said, “Well, Samuel, what sort. of a day have you had?” “Only a. poor day,” he replied, "hardly anybody present but a few boys." That was his feeling at thr- time. “But,” said Dr. Antlifi‘, “God has graciously blessed that ser- vice. One of the boys, who dates 1 is conversion from that afternoon, is now at Wesleyan minister (giving a well- THURSDAY, MAY ‘26. 1892. Brooklyn, THE POWER OF TRIFLES.

This she consented to, and they conducted the beautiful and terrified young lady through those trials which are sometimes more than enough for masculme resolution, little thinking they were taking «into the bosom of their craft a member that would afterwards rellect :i lustre on the annals of Masonry. The lady was cousin to General Anthony Leger. governor of St. Lucia, who insti- tuted the interesting race and the celebrat- ed Doncaster St. Leger stakes. Miss St. Leger married Richard Aldworth, Esq. of Newmarket. \Vhenever a benefit was giVen at the theatres in Dublin or Cork for the Masonic Female Orphan Asylum, she walked at the head of the Freemasons wrth her apron»: and other insignia of Freemasonry, and sat in the front row of the stage box. The house was always crowded on those occasions. Her portrait Is in the lodge-room of almost every lodge In Ireland. ‘ I.

Hitherto she found that gteachers and attendants gave way to ,‘ her whims and tempers, but this time, to her surprise, she encountered her master. Pastor Oliristlieb took his watch and told her with a decision that appalled her, that he would give her five minutes to make up her mind; if she meant to set to work, then he would give her a lesson; if not, he would leave. She bent at once to the, t .__4A_ohdu4 stronger will, and from that day? Christlieb had no more difficulty with her. Queen Olga asked the pastor to let .her into the secret of his manage- , ment, for no one hae been able before to conquer the spoiled child. Grand Duchess VVera. has grown up to be a lovely character; she married young and was early left a widow. Her strong will chastened and her heart given to the service of God and her fellow-creatures, she lives at Stuttgart, a blessing to all around her. A successful evangelist relates the following reminiscence of his early Christian life: “ Shortly after my con- version, 1 met three friends who We“? on their way to a. dancing class. It was the first night of the quarter, and, the three young men, having just paid their money, were all going to have a good dance. I stopped them, and in- vited one of them to come down to a gospel meeting with me. ‘Oh, John,’ he replied earnestly, “if it had not been the first night of the new quarter, I should gladly have accompanied you; but man, I have paid my money and never have had a. dance out of it yet. I must go.” Then I went to the next and asked him to accompany me, but his excuse Was the sameâ€"he did non want to lose his money’s worth. ‘\Vhy,’ ‘ he said, ‘if I once began to go with you 1 to these meetings, I should lose my whole money 1’ ‘Well,’ I said, after asking the third and getting a similar reply. ‘if you would rather get your money’s worth of dancing than have everlasting life, I cannot help it.’ That way of putting the matter seemed to be new to them and to strike one with the force of reasoning. Turning to his companions, he said, ‘Look here, lads, you may go to the dancing if you will, but I am going to the Gospel meeting with Thompson.’ \Ve started off, leaving the others to go to their danc- ing. We had not gone far on our way when we were surprised to hear hurry- ing footsteps behind. Glancing back- ‘ wards, there were the other two, whom l we had supposed to be en route for the dancing hall When they overtook us, they explained that they also had de- termined to leave their dancing and Came to the meeting. All three gave themselves to the Lord that night. Two of them are still laboring for the Lord, while the other has fallen asleep in J esus.” The Hon. Elizabeth St. Leger was the only female ever initiated into the ancient mystery of Freemasonry. How she ob- tained this honour we shall lay before our readers. Lord Doneraile, Miss St. Leger’s father, a .very zealous Mason, held a warrant, and occasionally Opened Lodge at Doneraileflouse, his sons and some inti- mate friends assisting, and it is said that never were the Masonic duties more rigedly performed than by them. Previous to the initiation of a gentleman to the first steps of Masonry, Miss St. Leger, who was a young girl, happened to be in .an apartment adjcining the room general- ly used as a lodge-roon1_ This room at the time was undergoing some alteration; amongst other things the wall was con- siderably reduced in one part. The young lady having heard the voices of the Free- masons, and prompted by the curiosity natural to all to see this mystery, so long and so secretly locked up from public view, she had the courage to pick a brick from the wall with her scissors, and wit- nessed the ceremony through the EWO first steps. Curiosity satisfied, fear at once took possession of her mind. There was no mode of escape except through the very room where the concluding part of the second step was still being solemnised, and that being at the far end. and the room a very large one, she had resolution An Invitation to Three Friends.

This regard for duty gave occasion to a question of honour which clearly displayed the brilliant points of the officer’s character, and exposed the ? weak ones of his brother in the service in a very pointed manner. His antagonist gaVc him the character of a coward through the whole army. Conscious of nct having merited the aspcrsion. and dis- Covering the injury he should sustain in the minds of those unacqu'iinted with him be repaired one evening to a general meeting of the officers of that line. On his entrance he was avoided by the com- pany, and the officer who had challenged him inSolently ordered him to leave the room, a Command which was loudly re- echoed from all part. He refused; and asserted that he came there to vindicate his fame, and after mentioning the reasons which induced him not to accept the chal- lenge, he applied a large grenade to the candle, and when the fuse had caught fire threw it on the floor, saying :â€" ... ... “Here, gentlmucn, this “ill quickly determine which of us it“ brave danger nmst." At first they stared upon him with stupid amaZement, but their eyes soon fell upon the fuse of the grenade, which was fast burning down.

After the explosron had taken place some of their. ventured to return, to take a peep at the mangled remains of their comrade, whom, however, to their general suprise, they found alive and un- injured. When they were all gone the captain threw himself flat on the floor. as the only possible means of escape, and fortunately came off With a whole skin and repaired reputation. The Montreal daily Star says :â€" Judge Desnoyers rendered a judg- ment of greatimportancc toteinperzmce people to-day. Hitherto a number of the saloon people have been in the habit of openly defying the Sunday closing law hy selling their patrons five cent lunch tickets which admitted them to the bar, where they could after eating a crust buy ; ll the liquor they desired. Judge Dir-agnoyers, in giving judgement in the case of one Durocher, charged with selling liquor on Sunday through the medium of a lunch ticket, s-"id that. the accused’s own witness had stated that after a person had paid five cents for a lunch ticket, he could spend as much money as he lLked in liquor. It had also been stated that as many as 400 and 500 people had taken liquor there on Sunday through the medium of this lunch ticket, and in this case the plea of the accused that the law gave a hotel-keeper the right to sell liquor with meals to his guests did not hold good. The law Said that bona fine travellers and boarders at hotels might be given liquor at their meals if they desired it, but surely a man who went into a saloon and Spent five cents on a lunch and fifty cénts on liquor could not be called either a traveller or a. boarder. Then, again, wherv did the meal come in? Taking all the facts into consideration, the judge was of the opinion that not only had the spirit of Bravery Put to the Test. An Important Judgment. the law been broken, but the law itself, I and that the accused was guilty of having sold liquor on Sunday contrary to law, and would consequently have to pay a fine of $100 and cos 5 (u go 10 gaol tor three months. Judge Dugas, the license commissioner, fully coincid- ed with the remarks of his confrere, It Was Indeed fully time that Sunday liquor. selling was put an end to in this city, where it had come to be such a nuisance. Numberless complaints had been made to him by parents about their sons getting liquor on Sun-‘ day in resturanis when they were sup- posed to be in church. The public were indignant that the law had been broken as it now was. Both he and J udgc Desnoyers have decided to can- cel licenses on the first offence in the future, and also to notify the inspect- ors to see that such saloons were closed up for good. England’s Industries and the World’s Fair. LONDON, Mav 18.â€"Mr. McCormick, resident commissioner in London of the Chicago World’s Fair, admitted in an interview to-day that there was no sign that the manufacturers of Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and Bradford would abandon their determined attitude against exhibiting their products at the fair. The hard hits which those cities suffered from the McKinley Act are in large part responsible for the refusal to send goods to the exposition, but another reason is the feeling that the advantages of exhibit- ing would be out-weighed by the danger of American rivals learning English trade secrets. Mr. McCormick and Commander Bainbridge Hofi' have just been in Liver- pool beating up exhibits of the transport section of the fair. Some exhibits now at the Naval Exhibition in Liverpool have been promised for Chicago. The great Laid dockyard at Birkenhead has also agreed to furnish a good exhibit. Secre- tary Tracy sent Commander Hofi over especially to help to organize naval and shipping exhibits throughout Europe. He is shortly going tL Glasgow to arrange for exhibits from the great shipbuilding in- dustries fo the Clyde. 0f the Lubon Medical Company is now at Toronto, Canada, and may be consulted either in person or by letter on all chronic diseases peculiar to man.
