A REevisep VERsioN,—Knowing ihat the school children are always hard pressed for good declamations when the literary entertainment day comes round and with full appreciation of the chest- nutty condition of the Mary and her lamb poem we have clipped the follow. ing revised version for our young read- ers who want a laughable little speech to memorize. “Mollie had a little ram as black as a rubber shoe, and everywhere that Mol- lie went he emigrated too. He went with her to church one day, the folks hilarious grew, to see him walk demure- ly into Deacon Allen’s pew. The worthy deacon quickly let his angry pas- sions rise, and gave it an unchristian kick between the sad brown eyes. This landed rammy in the aisle ; the deacon followed fast, and raised his foot again, alas! that first kick was his last. For Mr. Sheep walked slowly back, about a rod ’tis said, and ere the deacon could retreat, he stood him on his head. The congregation then arose and went for that ’ere sheep ; several well direct- ed butts just placed them in ‘a heap. Then rushed they straightway for the door, with curses long and loud, while rammy struck the hindmost man, and shoved him through the crowd. The minister had often heard that kindness would subdue the fiercest beast. ‘‘Aha,” he said, “I’ll try that game on you.” And so he kindly, gently called : “Come, rammy, ram- my, ram ; to see the folks abuse you so I grieved and sorry am.” The ram quite dropped his humble air, and dropped from off his feet, and when the parson landed, he was near the hind most seat. And as he shot out of the door and closed it with a slam, he named a California town, I think ‘twas “Yuba Dam.” Tae Apventists Have CoMmE TO Stay. So Mgr. WHEELER SAYS.— Since Mr. Wheeler the Advent evan- gelist, closed his services several months ago, the Adventist cause has been gather- ing strength under his earnest effort. He has labored from house to house, opening the Bible to such as would hear bim,and has destributed much religious reading matter at his own expense, and visited and preached to the prisioners in the jail. Mr. Wheeler isa graduate of the leading Adventist college in the land at Battle Creek, Michigan, and is now employed by the Pennsylvania confer- ence of that denomination. His fol- lowers, have now established quarters in the old Methodist church, on jail hill, which is being prepared by them for sabbath school and other religious services. It is expected that the chapel will be ready this week and that Mr. Wheeler will open services there Satur- day evening next. He says he has come to stay for “Truth crushed to. the earth shall rise again’’ the eternal | years of God are hers,” | Tar DeatH oF Ex-CouNTY TREAS- URER CYRUS Goss.—-A telegram from | Altoona, at an early hour yesterday morning, informed the Centre county friends of Mr. Cyrus Goss that he had died after a short illnss with pneu- monia, at his home in that place, at 4 o'clock in the morning.
