VISITOR. L. ELszletaz geb.llB BBADFOBD BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. The forty-fourth. anniversary was held with the Baptist Church at Leroy, Brad ford County, Pa... June 17th, 18th and 19th. The Association convened at two o'clock r. ar;; the opening sermon was by Rev. Edmund Wells, of Canton, Pa., from Acts, 28:20. The sermon, was one of unusual force, and highly interesting to the large number of delegateS. present from the churches. In the evening the Association was. fa-. vored by a sermon from Hoy. David Spen cer, agent of. the American Baptist For eign.llissionary Union. The serinon.was of gr,eat power, and was listened to with great- attention by the large audience. Text,. - Ist Timothy, 4:8.. -Wednesday morning the Association convened f4r.business at nine o'clock. At 10i o'clock {Rev. J. W." Plannett i - pastor at Austinrille . and Columbia, preached from John1:10. Ills theme was re generation. 'The interest by thiS time , in the meetings had grown to such an extent that the :Inis° could 'not- accommodate the people; but the interest of the subject, and thelability shown in its preparation, and the clear and forcible manner in which every word was spoken, captivated the audience to the close. .. At balf-put one o'clock• Rev. G. M. S. pat, D. D., agent of the Pennsylvania Baptist Education Society, preached a sermon of rare excellence, on the fano+ thins of the ministerial office,' and the need of a thorough knowledge of the Bi ble and science to make good and faithful ministers of Christ. 1 . . In the •evening the Association was again addressed, this time by Rev. Levi G. Beck, agent of the Pennsylvania .Gen eral Association. In his sermon he set forth the vast amount of work that had been accomplished during the year by the missionaries sustained by the society, and the great amount of work yet to be ac complished. Thursday morning' the Association closed _with a sermon by Rev. A. Tilden, of East Smithfield, and a free conference, WhiCh was peiluips the most precious part, of the entire meeting. The chinches of . the Association are at present better supplied with pastors than they have been for a number of years; and the outlook is very encouraging. The tnostef the churches ihowed a growth in membership, and all seem to have a stron ger desire than ever to do more and bet ter smirk in the Master's service than dur,- ing the past year.

" What did I hear you say, Emma, Matilda— that you didn't believe there was any real love without . a shade of jealousy I. Well, that shows what a real silly, light hearted,' un calculating young goosy you are I" Aunt, Jemima drew a lona breath and shook her head and forefinger with gravity 'at her demurelypretty niecy and 'then went on : "You're not content to let things go smooth and easy, though, goodness, that Edward Marshall is as nice a young' gentleman as I . ever knew, and you ought to be thankful—since, you are n - woman and can't pick and choose for yourself, brit must Wait till some young man asks you—that you're lucky enough to be his choiec,With out picking 'flaws in him and trying to spoil the happiness that so few, have the good Mauro to enjoy." "I am not picking flaws 'in Ed= ward Marshall, Aunt 'Mime," pro tested • Emma -Matilda. " I'm only Saying how sorry I am that he isn't poetical and more' like, a story-book lover. Why, he never. goes into rap tures or tantrums, or anything - nice, but just keeps calm apd good natured all the time t I wish I lived in the days when men were knights, and wore. swords, and fought for tidies they adOred—that. would . .be nice And then they would not let anyone even' look at the-_objeet .of their de votion. But'EdWard `Marshall seems to think it is really nice to have me taken off his' hands once in a while, and . when I go out walking with a gentleman 'friend, hoping to make him wretched, he only smiles ] and says •he hopes I've- been enjoying myself." Which is a clear proof that he has good sense, and knows enough not to make a fool of himself I" ex claimed .Aunt Jemima, ".Now Kten to me for a moment, Emma Mitilda, and I'll tell you something" that ought to make you feel serious. If it had not bean, for jealousy I 'Should not have been your old maid, • ' AuntJemima!' Yes, my dear, it's no" joke to be an old ,maid ; you may well become s&emn when you think of it, and now I'll tell you how it happened." • There had suddenly appeared, a gush of tears in Aunt • Jemima's spectacled eyes, and her nose became alarmingly red while she spoke. " It'sa natural 'emotion," she oh served in excuse, "and very li%ely, you may indulge :in the same forty years from pow, if - Edward-Marshall's image rises before your*inind,- and I you have succeedeed in 'getting rid, of him, through some nonsensical-' freak.of jealousy., My dear, I. Wasn't just like I am now when I was your age, indeed. Some folks. called* me andsome, and"l. know- my -cheeks . were and my eyes were as . bright. as the common rein of girls' eyes.

" Itquay have been his hair-'-it fn elined a little to the sandy; or it may have been his eyes--Ithey had a kind of greenish tinge., But Cuthbert was mighty sharp if 'anyone looked -at -.me, and we used to quarrel every. time he . saw 'me smile at a young man, even if it was his own brother. After we had made up--and at first it was so nice - to , make. up our quarrels that they didn't seem so .used, to say it *as because te set stick store...by me that he Was raving angry when be saw-me with anyone else; and - I used tofeetaort of pleased . and 'flattered, and-forgot his black look'. and mean suspicions. But, by-and-by I got spunky, and I vowed would not stand 'such ty ranny--that I'd never tie myself to a Bluebeard and have my bead snapped off if I did not mind every word-he said.- Cuthbert's beard was not blue, though - I- mast Say . •it was mtheten, the- reddiatii , whick* may 'have 'ac counted for :his being fusaY in his disposition.

Next day I found out different. I bad seen Sarah-Jane and Abe off, and was going on an errand to the store when met Cuthbert, and be passed me, scowling' just as if I' had.- been his bitterest enemy. I was so astonished that I just 'stood- still and looked thunderstruck. " Ile turned, looked back at me, and finally 'retraced :his steps., ' I have no right to address a young lady who has promptly secured a new lover in my absence !" says &yin his loftiest manner, while , his face be came a blazing scarlet and his eyes almost 'glared. , "'Are you addressing ',the in that way, sir ?' I says ; for I had a spirit of my own, anti he knew it. "'Yes.'l am alluding to the gen:: tleman you were so familiar with last evening that you arranged his hair for him on your front porch. " For a moment I stared at him, and then I took to roaring and laugh ing, for it really did seem good fun. You're Jealous again, Cuthbert,' says I ; 6 and this time it ill'orAbe Brown, who won't be fourteen ye,an old for a month or:two 1" " Somehow, this thinggot out, titiO• Cuthbert was plagued about it # good- deal. The crowns stopped on their. way back from Norwood, and when Cuthbert saw what a baby flced chap his rival was, he felt. awfully silly, though we had made it all up, by that - time, - on his solemn promise never to be jealous again." Aunt Jemima heaved a. deep sigh. "I suppose it was hie nature," she continued. " The leopard's, spot s and Ethiopian's.. skin are hard to change; and so 'was his jealousy.' He'd been just as good as pie, never finding fault with .me about glancing at any one else, or taking .me to task for speaking to any of the beaux for nearly a month, when one day Re joicing Peters, an old maid,, who made dresses for most. of the families in our place, and who , was a'fat, clumsy, queer : looking old sold, came to our house to do a Week% sewing..

IMPALED UPON ATM 11011.148 (If Tilt MADDENED MEXICAN ANIMAL. Letter to San !random Chronicle. I bad been riding all day in tho .glowing heat of the sultry climate, and let my jaded mule walk quietly along - the narrow trail by which I was approaching the ancient: town of Bayderagnato, in Northwestern Mex ico. On , entering the town I saw a moderate-sized house, which gave hope - of safe' shelter and abniidant food. - An old Mexican, seated upon the doorstep, readily granted my re quest for accommodations for the night. I toldvy boat that I wished to employ a guide who knew the way across the country to location which I designated. He informed me that one could-not he-had-the next day,as -there, was a grand bialfight on the edge of the town, and the man I would, hive to, employ was to fi ght the bull. I 'decided at once to re main and witness the contest. The scene ot the fight was to be in an old corral enclosed on three sides by-high and thick adobe walls, and on the other by what appeared to be an,impccetrable fence Of a gro - Wth of pitahaya, a cactus of a fluted coltim= nar form 'anti armed With a bristling artay - of strong, aharp_ thorns. My hoot.procured for me a front seat, from which 1 could obtain a full view of the arena. • After taking my seat I looked doivir into the corral and could not but adiaire:my guide, not only for l*is -pOwerful.and perfect build i , but also for his good-luamored expression. There was sonic little delay before the bullthe ti — the scene, but when.e large gate in theadobe wall was opened and -he .entered, the cor- ml with a rush , and a bound, a ter rihle presentiment of an awful trig edy seemed' to thrill the entire multi tude.' For myself, itso painfully im pressed me that if I could have easily loathe place I 'quid .pt once have done so, although, but a moment be fere I had, been so anxious to' wit ness thevontest. It was, a splendid animal, well :knit, "strong Wand power ful.

For a moment they were 'spellbound, with terror, and gave utterance to!pierO ing shrieks and critis., Then several shots were tired at .the bull, none of Which seemed to take effect, but only appeared to increase its madness and its.ire.. Suddenly the bull, now blind ed with rage and madened by _the wounds it bad received, dashed against the thorny barrier of the pitahays and. breaking through it, rushed :among t h e terrified multitude upon the outside of the enclosure. The crowd scattered ir. all'directions, and the bull tossed or trampled upon nil who were in its way as it rushed toward the open plain. There were three others killed outright and sev eral seriously - wounded. Heartsick with the horrible scene I blended with; the people that were, seeking their homes. I would not for 'the possession of the entire Mexican re public, witness another such bull fight.
