Many el our roadera will no doubt ask
what kind or people use forret, and they
would be very much surprised If they vvere
te hee thelr namea. Ah u rule, ferret are
used by men who ure net hunting for the
real sport that I iu it, or are desirous of kilt
ing a low for their own eating. Ne ; the fer
ret men are securing rabblta ler the market,
and it matter little te thorn hew many they
kill, they are nover satlstled, but always
want mere. There are aoverul well-known
gunner, men el prominence lu tills city,

the poraens who ure guilty of the ollenso.

The average prlce for a geed ferret is about
.', and it varies but very Utile. They are
very hard te ralse, aud aeveral iiipii en the
"lllll" who attompted it, have uiet with
but partial success. The animals are usually
brought te the city by bird dealers and
ethers at the beginning of the seaen. une of
ineni uiuy im owned uy inree, laur or pei-

,, city hoeiii te be the popular parts of town for
lerrets, ami ijulte a iiiimber or men are
known te have and uae tliem. Among the
folks who handle tbem they are known a.
"bull dogs," and are seldom referred teby
the proper name. Hunday Is a favorite day
with many ferret owners of this city. They
slip quletly te the country and generally are
julte Huccesslul with the animal.
Persons who rcslde lu some of the tewu-
shlpM In the lower end of the county are very
bltter In thelr denunciation of thn Mnraaler

At the opening of the meeting nl the Na

deseoii l-'arrar ntaled as a "remarkable fact
that ene poraen out el every live In londen

markable, but hoeiii InciiKllbln. And yel,
though the meeting was huld ever a mouth
since, the Hlateiiieut iIih net apK'ar tehavn
tmen reluUd. Thn arUulnaixm liilthur stated
that ene parson out of every three among the
Indigent claw died either lu thn hetipllal of
workheuso. The statistical tables, f-em which
these compulatlenn were made by the
speaker are net at hand ; but It must reason
ably be Iiemk1 that the eariinsl advis-atoer
touierauce has aeepted an truth a calcula
tion that can scarcely be ustabllshe I by facta.
At any rati, the stranger In Iiudeu would by

Anethor K)lnt nmila by ttie Archdeacon Is
of universal application. He stated that a
great cause of the dlstrimaef poverty I the
drinking habit," ralher thnri nbaolute
(IriinkenniH. In thl oceuomlo view of the
subject, the actual waste of money and the
Ions of time and employment Impoverish
men and families, iimhi whom !ntoinerale
drinking cannot fairly be charged. Ne aril
clea of dally consumption Involve no much
expense as uinae which partake of the nature
of alcoholic stimulants. Theappellte for thean

be growing lean among the iweple, who, lu a

than te see three or four men who have te
work hard for their money calling the whole
group up le the bar three or four times within
a short sce of time, te threw their money
away for useless, Injurious "drinks" which
noiieof them need. The day will come, and
lleuglit income seen, when It will be held
net only an extreme felly te de that, but, In
a strong degree, dlgraceful. It Is discredit

" drinking habit" aud reputation.
Mr .1. II V Inrrnt un Cellrcft Training,
le state the mailer fairly and fully at the
outset, I must ceulea that I have nover been
at college The roader can scarcely conceive
Uie grief, made up of rcgrel, discouragement
and mortification, which this tact ha occa
sioned me through most of the years of my
mature life. Kven new 1 sometimes feel the
sting of it iu the society of college men. It
iia toen my " thorn In the Huh." 1
have nover found entire rolief Irem It sharp
prickings lu the long list et distinguished
men and women In Isith hemispheres and lu
all ages- writers, artists, sages, statesmen
who nover enjoyed the benclltn of college
training ; nor of recalling the ixolanchely
failure. 111 no many way, of no many men
who have tieeu matriculated, educated, grad
uated, and t3 titled by the greatest universi

that classical educatlmr unlit a man ler busi

comfortable self complacency which In aouie aeuie aouie
llinea attributed te ttie nelf educated man.
The, te me, uiicoiururtable fact that I never

A rather curious oxauiple of the unex
pected outcenio of a literary question Is lur
nlshed by the result of a brief editorial artl artl
ceo en the word "lurid " In the .cicr a
low weeks age. A correspondent furiilslied
a loiter, which was published, quoting l)r,
Muhlenberg's hyinii, "I Would Net Mve
Alway," iu which ap-ioared the line, " The
few lurid morning that dawn eti us liore,"
and staled that he had seen the hymn
printed, " The lew lucid iiiemuuls," instead
of "The few lurid mornings." Following
this the l.tihjcr received several communi
cation en the subject, most or them denying
that Dr. Muhlenberg used either " lurid " or
" lucid." This Induced a search ler the his his
tery or the hymn and revealed the trutli of
the later corrnspendent'a allegations.

Dr, William Augustus Muhlenberg, the
author or the hymn, wa a natlve or l'hlladel-
fhla, and was the great-grandson of tlie Hev.

the (lerinan Ltitheran church In America.
He was born Soptembor (1, 171"), graduated at
the University or Pennsylvania In 18H, en en en
tored the ministry in 117, and In 187,1 waa
made assistant rector et St. .fames' church,
Lancaster. This church he left te found SL
Paul's academy of Flushing, L. I., of which
he was principal for many years. In 181.1
he waa olectiHi recter of the Church of the
Hely Communion et New Yerk city. Ile
rounded SL Luke's hospital, et New Yerk,
In H", and retained charge of that Institu
tion until his death, which occurred in New
Yerk city April 0, 1877. He was the author
et numerous hymns, of which " 1 Would Net

and "Llke Neah's Weary Deve," are the
