Dr. Baiter la and baa been | for Iblnj jean Ibe rector of a prominent ' pariah on the Eaalcrn Shore of Maryland. ' He it the resident ol Ibe town ol Cam- | dea. and baa — or bad aotne twelrc Years when lb it happened— a mission charge in tbe Tillage of Venice, eirleen nniee distant and between these placet be waa oonatanlly on tbe road. About ' six miles Irom Camden waa tbe country residence of Judge Sllrerton. a well known and vcoenble pariah inner of lite | worthy doctor. This gentleman bad been I lead about six weeka when Dr. Itaker | tappeoed to be returning from Venice lo i a in den one afternoon in a carriage with 1 « Mr. Akten, a prominent citizen of the ] tormer place, ll waa In broad day light. ^ : ttat about sunset, and not far from Judge | ill Tenon's gate, when a carriage, drawn ■ ■ -y a while Ingae. pasted Utem rapidly . root behind and wu soon out of tight. "Thai fellow must be In a hurry lo each Camden," remarked the doctor. ' "Did you notice anything particular about tbe carriage!" inquired bit ecm"Ouly that It mores very quietly. 1 ' beard no aound when It went by. "Not did I," "aid Mr. Alden, "neither 1 Tattling of wheels nor noise ol boofs. ll t» certainly strange. In a few minutes tbe matter was for- 1 gotten and tbe two drove on. convening ' about other things. They bad proceeded ' about half a mile, when suddenly the aune hone and carriage again passed them from behind, and again in tbe same abto. ' lute alienee, notwithstanding tbe hardness ' and narrowness of the road. Nothing ' could be seen ol tbe driver except bis feet, tbe carriage curtains biding bis body. There wu no cross road by which ' a vehicle in froot could possibly have got ' behind wit hoot making a circuit of many milts and consuming several bours. Yet there is not tbe least doubt that this wu tbe same conveyance which only a little w bile previous bad passed on before, and i lie two geel leaned looked at each otber in . blank amazement and with a ccrtajn>ug- 1 (taction of awe which presented much discussion of tbe matter, especially u tbe ' wu to all appearance tbe wellknown while habitually driven by tbe deceased Judge. Another mile brought | litem in sight of Judge tilvertoo's gale, 1 when for tbe third time tbe gbaatly team daabed by— again from behind— in the same mysterious silence. Tbla time, bow. I ever, It tnrned, in loll view, Into tbe : J edge's gate. Without a word of com- ' meet ibe doctor quickened bla bone's speed and reached the gale only a few yards behind tbe silent driver. Both Mr. Aides and himself peered eagerly np tbe king, open lane leading lo Ibe bouse, but neither carriage nor wheel track wu viri- ; ! We, though it wu still clear daylight, and there vru no outlet from the lane, nor could any vehicle bava paaaably, in tbe distance. In tbe simple language of ' Pliny, "nothing worthy of note followed ." | Tbe peculiar features of this strange incident are that it was equally and aiaiukaoeoualy evident lo two witnesses, both ' entirely unprepared for any such manlfea- , tattoo, and differing widely in lemperm- : roent, habits of life, menial capacity and educational allalnmenla, and by man accident making this Journey together, and be It noted, of tbe meat unimpeachable credibility— attest U and fully carrohcnle each other, but without being able to sugTbey bare curious ways in China u to admitting ounvrrta lo church membership. In the Baptist Missioo Churches when a Chinaman applies for membership be X asked many pointed questions, for injrou expect any wordly adrgbtage from Joining tbe church!" Ac. Recently tbe Baptist church in Swslow arraigned its charging a client an exorbitant fee. He would have bees eiclnrind IT he bed not J onnJesard, refunded and promised to be . reasonable In hia charges In future. If any aucb methods u these were adapted in our churches the renak would be simply res • tolutiooary. There are other cases in which chBtcbea abeoad make regulation. I in regard to membership which am not in • : vague among home churches. Thus, in I Mexico, soma men who wan ovdained Presbyterian eider, were ftret made to aai^?<8ast^rs

As the object of greatest interest lo people oaiskte as well as Inside tbe^iiy limits, la W anxmaker'., and aa this it so immense in extent and an varied in the character and quality of U^exblbltr, a oeplable to all readers who purpose sidling or ordering by mail or express goods from its a. moat Inexhaustible stores. Beginning with what at this season ir probably moat in demand, dresser for lualtlr and matrons, that portion of the store that will be first sought, will naturally be the ready-made suit department, | w here all vlsirora may lesro of those beat . qualified to describe the prevailing styles and colore, together with the prices of tbe exquisite creations of art or the more aubstantial, yet equally becoming eostumei designed to please sober tastes and purchasable at prices that will attract ail Claaaea of buyers. This ready-made auit department fur ladies ll on the corner of Chestnut and 18th alrqpU. and is under the direction of n mast Hateful and capable designer, who has only recently returned from abroad, after studying the styles presented in the great emporiums of fashion on Ibe continent of Europe and in Great Britian. On entering this department will be found on one aide of ibe store an immense slock of coats, peliaaes, dctlmana,. etc., while on Ibe otber aide fur wrapaAf every description are displayed (or inspection. In woolen garments light mixed doth coats of excellent shape, with seal cloth collar and ouffa, are in all sixes for 85 each, aa are also plain cloth trimmed wilb plush, for fid. Imported ulstcretles. in seven different stylet of cloth and orai1 mentation, rqry atyltab and pretty, some with plush trimmings and others with ' mstracban and braid at 820 and 8M- Thee are of a superior make and auld-at auclt ' prioet are greatly below vaiuc. 8ilk dimatae coals trimmed wilb plush, very figg sod beautiful, are 830. while wool matalaaae, almost as handsome at a silk, trimmed with fur. which forms both collar and muff, entirely new and original in design, may be bought for 325. French Data profusely trimmed wilb and la s variety of colore— sage, terra coita, greeny gendarme blue for the youthful, as well as Btore sober lints for , those of maimer years — can be ohtaiued for 320 and (25. The exquisite material, | work and trimmings on these coals are particularly worthy of notice. Ulsters of heavy cloth, in quiet checks, than which nothing can be more comfortable, are from 314 lo 316, while the most desirable of all tbe imported cloth wrapt is ooe which in style it something between . dolman and ulsterette, unobetmalve though elegant, at 335. The cloth pelisse, by some called redingo'.ca, trimmed with a rucblag of tbe aamt , material, may be found here of every | quality and in prices ranging Irom 312 to , 330. i If something in tbe fur line is deemed desirable tbe abopper can turn to tbe op- ( posiif aide of tbe store and inspect some , or all of tbe many fashionable fur gmrI meota, which, owing to the immense dc- ! mand for ibem ibis winter, are here in tbe richest profusion and at moderate prices. At this department they will learn that Ibe seal holds ita owa aa tbe leading la- | vorite in tbe world of fashion, although tbe natural beaver is highly esteemed, and I tbe ever beautiful chinchilla is hardly behind them in tbe eyea of than wbo know value. Satin Rhadamea and groa grain, fur- , lined ciiculars may be bad at 322 and up- ; ward to 3120. Seal coats, aligbtly longer than but year's styles, can be bad from I 3*5 up to 3250, while dolmans, coachman's capes and tippeu are here, varying | in size and quality and prior; fur trim- , minga, which sell by Ibe yard, from 40 cents to 320, are also to be bae for orea- , mentatlng wraps of every kind. After seeing all that ta worth looking at on the , flrat floor the abopper will ascend to Ibe , second story, where the stock room far ready-made salts is al lusted. Here all tbe \ new styles in wool and novelty goods are ' found from simple and lightly trimmed skins and basque* of all-wool flannel, j plainly and neatly made foe 35 np to e(ab- . orate coatumea In cashmere, silk and otber . woolen fabrics at 335, 340 and 330. On this floor, too, are exhibited shawls of . every description, tbe chief, wool, Scotch , and Broche from 35 up lo 380, with imitation In diss from 325 to 3125, and the | superb Valley ludlas that cam anywhere from 3200 to 33000. lews expensive ludlas of the Ubudda, Decca, eta, range " from 335 lo 3200. J Pasting out of this room into tbe next ooe will be found a magnificent assortment . of fringes, lacea, buttons and tbe like, not far sale there, however, although their | duplicates may be found in the various [ departments on the main floor: but these [ are to be 'Used on tbe elegant dicta ca exhibited I'** rrf msf fl; (of an empress, or better still, for tbe representative American woman of more than royal grace and breuty. i The magnificent robes are generally i combinations of plain and brocaded velvet . and aDk, richly trimmed with real lace or i other ooKly ornamentation and are in prior i from 3100 up to 3260. But tbe moat ai- ■ tractive portion of this department is that I recently opened, oonaiallng of parlors, exr bibitton and Citing rooms, devoted lo or- ; dared work. These parlors, covered "with I ; "Wilton carpet, furnished with ebony, ..richly upholstered, are brightened and ■ beautified with the open-tiled flre-place, r brass andirons, shovel, tonga and fender, . tbe wboie surmounted by a carved oaken i manteL Scattered throughout the rooms I are antique ebony cabinets and table*.

Christian Co-operation In Twin Tbe second part of Rev.

Union r wort in behalf of temperance is one of tbe hardrat things in tbe world lo secure. n We can co-operate in ordinary religious work, because Ibe lesson of toleration io n religioo has been learned, and because wc all ready to forget those things in i which wc differ; but, aa respects tbe sub- j jeel of temperance, there is. as yet, no r sucll toleration: tbe sectarianism of temadvocate! is fully as violent as the d sectarianism of Ibe churchmen was a „ hundred year* ago." - "Are you not ralbcr rough on tbe tem- g workers!" asked Mr. Thorpe. at tbe facts. There are gentlemen in this , club, ! suppose, who sometimes use wine j t at their tables, and who, though they arc careful t<T abstain from ail excess, believe g that I bey have a perfect right to use ll as beverage. There are other gentlemen I , in tbia dob who regard every such use of j ( it, no matter bow careful as a sin. I do j not belong lo either of tbeae classes, but j ( I can easily see tbat persona holding I j | views so perfectly irreconcilable can never | work together in promoting temperance. ( What is more, some of Ibe gentlemen present are in favor of the passage of | , laws by wbidi otber persons in Ibis comptny would be put -into tbe category of ( criminals." ( "Oh. come, Franklin, that's absurd! , don't mean that," cried Mr. Thorp*-, j "I mean just tbat," persisted Fran "But you know that tbe prohibitory , , that soma of us favor, punishes the seller of liquors, not the drinker. There are c no liquor seller* in this room." "A man cannot ordinarily drink wine f { without buying it, can be ?" "You wish to make it a crime to se'.l | ' wine to be uacd at a bevenga!" i "Yea." "If It were a crime to sell, then the , ! would be morally jtarUerpe ertmi- , nit. would be not ?" "I auppoaeao." ! "Very well ; there are gentlemen bete t who are in tbe habit of buying wine to is: , used as a beverage, and there are other , gentlemen bete who wish to make the selling of wine for that purpose a crioil- ^ nal act : bow can these two classes of , , people come to any undemanding about , work! 1 am not diacuasiog , prohibition. 1 am not undertaking to . justify or condemn eh ber of tbeae class- •* , of peraon*;! am only pointing out that the , diHnnoe between them it, in ita nature t i and tbat they can only ! keep from quarrelling about temperance ( work by ignoring the whole subject- ' "Well, I guess you're right," said Mr. ( soberly. c "Not only ia it impossible," Ibe bsnkrr , continued, "for these two classes to get on ( comfortably together, but any one who , undertakes to mediate between Ibem , liable to have hi* bead broken. 1 dared , lo auggeK. last summer , iu a|tcmperane<' , meeting, that It waa a gross blunder for ( the total abstainers lo make war on all drinker*. — to denounce Ibem aa , malefactors and to bold them up to pub. , lie reprobation; that it would be much | easier to persuade than to coeroe ibem In- , to the waya of abstinence.

jSrtr aflrrrtismfBtj. AT WANAMAKER'S to Philadelphia are to visit the store, whether to see or to buy. Your parcels are checked ; a waiting-room is provided, where you may rest with 1 ladies and children; guides conduct you through the house, or you wander at twill ; there are many things of interest to see, and a welcome. For two years, perhaps, we have had the richest, largest, mostvaried and most exhaustive collection of dress-goods in Philadelphia. Before that, we may have had the largest, and even the most exhaustive, but perhaps not the richesL The slowest trade to come to a new merchant is the trade of luxury. It is the slowest to change from one to another. But it does change. We may say our dressgoods of all sort! are at about their highest now. SccooOanO iMrt clretes. scntLtoK Silks of all sorts have come; and never were silks more acceptable. And these words have a meaning here beyond any they could have elsewhere; because of the greater variety of wants that look to us for supply. We must have all accepted styles, and all the approved qualities of those styles; and,' as to colors, can you think of one that we can do without? A store that has only one class of trade can get along with comparatively few silks. Which stock would you rather buy out of? Next outer circle, sooth entrance 1 -* main bnildles. Two damask towels at 15 a:«l 18 cents may serve to show what we gain by buying of thojnakers. The verv same tow els are in the wholesale trade in New York at ab-Jfc/I H and 22 cents, which means at least 25 cents at retail. We arc not going to say that all our retail prices are below New York wholesale; nothing of the sort "More than one swallow to make a | summer." But where such towels are to Ix; got for 15 1 cents is a good place to look for bed and table-IinenTand : all the other linens. That's what we Ynean exactly; it's true, too. Outer circle. Clip hall square entrance. A very wide and surpris- ' ingly good navy-blue twilled flannel for 50 cents; 45-inch. Do you remember a 35r cent flannel for 25 cents, of which we liad j 8,000 yards last fall? Afterward we got 7,000 yards more of it; and 1 a little of it is left yet. That is 23-inch. This wide flan- ' . nel is fully as good as that. Third circle, southeast train center, i All the warmer sorts of 1 underwear are ready; for men, women and children: thick-cotton, merino, wool, and silk. All the sorts needr ed for all sorts of people 1 with all sorts of notions; and, for people who want it, there is quite a little wit about underwear to be picked up at the counter. Where 1 else would you look for it? , Not in books surely; for goods are. changing all the time; and so get ahead of books. WaK ot Aicad*. 1XU Outturn ; I ' °°allUr' John Wakamakek, Philadelphia.
