Are you going to sit quietly in this cheir and act like a gentleman, or are you going to raise a rumpus, so that I will have to shoot you?” The man promised faithfully to keep perfectly quiet. McGill placed little reliance in his promise, and after making noise outside as if he was going away he quickly opened the door and looked into the room. As he expected he found the man off from the chair getting into his clothes. “Well, — you,” he said, disgust- edly, “haven't you got any honor about you? Now I'm going to try you again, and, remember if you do succeed in having me caught you won't be able to do it as quick as I can shoot you, and you bet Ill do it too.” very drunk. I was in hopes that he would content himself with dropping into a seat near the door, but my hopes were vain. He insisted on weaving his way to the very front pew, and as he was carrying a load which ordinarily required two trips his progress was slow, uncertain and embarrassing. I could not help tak- ing some notice of the episode, and it occurred to me that I might ob viate and forefend an insulting and unseemly interruption by addressing a gentlemanly and soothing remark tothe bacchanalian brother. So I said in a sympathetic and kindly tone, ‘I perceive that the brother is sick. Perhaps if he were to allow the sexton to accompany him to the door he would speedily be able to recover in the open air.” This was certainly in the spirit of & compromise, and at the moment I felt like congratulating myself upon my tact. Butthe bacchanalian broth- er seemed to be unhappily affected by my suggestion. He stopped short, braced himself heavily against the rail of a convenient pew, and gazed fixedly at me with an expres- sion of stupidity and pain commin- gled. Then he said in thick but clearly audible tones: ‘It's a wonder to me (hic) that this d d bad preachin’ doesn’t (hic) make ‘em all sick!’ This unseemly, unkind and unholy repartee set the congregation into an irrepressible titter, and discomfitted me so completely that I brought my sermon toan abrupt end and dis- missed the flock with the briefest benediction I had in stock.

Dropped Dead. Elizabeth, N. J., May 22.—Am- brose Van Tassel, aged 39, dropped dead yesterday at his residence, 1356 Elizabeth avenue,this city, while pre- paring for the funeral of his wife. The latter died suddenly on Sunday leaving four children, the eldest a cripple of 7 yearsand the youngest an infant of 2 months. The death of his wife preyed heavily on Van Tassel, who has not eaten or slept since her demise.
