with heart failure at Charleston,
as a result of exertiou in dancing,

She attended a picnic at Harper's

Ou the return to Winchester,
where she is visiting, shesuddeu
ly became unconscious and re
mained in a precarious condition
until next morning. The physi

How to Hang a Hammock.
llow many know how to hang a
hammock so that the head will be
at a comfortable height aud re
main comparatively stationary
while swinging? There is a
"know-how" about . hammock
hanging besides merely tying it
so firmly that it cannot break
down. A hammock huug accord
ing to rule should be six and a
quarter feet from the ground at
the head aud three and three
quarters above the ground at the
foot end. The rope that secures
the head end should be less than
12 inches aud that at the foot
should measure four and a half
feet. Arranged in this way the
lower part will swing freely aud
tho head be kept comfortable by
being nearly stationary.

Several members went to In-'

them for the Articles of Faith, j
Rules of Decorum, &c, was laid :
before tho church aud granted. !
Tl.'O county they proposed to or
ganise in, or the name of the j
church, is not given. I wish I j
knew. They also lettered out
several members in 1S27, to or
gaui.e a church at Providence
meeting house somewhere in
Pennsylvania, where the church
had ofteu held mectiugs. Also
several members, at their own
request, were granted permission
to assemble for worship, and
otherwise transact business, as
au arm of the church, and was so
recognized. Though the chief
place of meeting was Tonoloway
meeting house, they ofteu met at
other places, thus carrying the
gospel ami hit' nonce of the church
into adjacent neighborhoods. A

I find that several of the mem
bers wore licensed to preach,
some of whom developed into
good. us"f:;l ' preachers, while
others failed t'o manifest auy gift
of usefulness to the church. In
the latter case the license was
promptly withdrawn, which I re
gard as commendable. In my
opinion no church should allow a
licentiate to go outside her own
bounds on general preaching
tours till she has had time to
judge of the gift. If profitable.
ordain him: otherwise, recall the
license. And further, uo church
should receive or encourage a
licentiate or recognize him as a
preacher, leaving that matter
with his own church entirely till
he is ordained. The Tonoloway
church was governed by that rule
originally, and 1 would suggest
the propriety of being governed
by it still in the future.
A cautious engineer, while sur
veying and locating a lino, will oc
casionally take a back sight
through the compass, and now,
having looked back over the his
tory of this church, let us try to
imitate her in her love, zeal, pa
tience, endurance, unselfishness,
devotion, humility, firmness, gen
tleness, liberality, and so many
things we see that is- cominonda-
j b!e. Yet, as the Saviour said of
the church of Philadelphia (Rev.
ii. 4.1 we know they made mis
takes. Fur examples. I refer the
readers back to what I said about
deacons and clerks. Let the
church select suitable men for
deacons, to serve with tho pre
cious brother now serving alone,
and let the deacons and church
fully understand that said dea
cons are to notify the church,
anil individual members as well,
when in need of funds, so that no
more committees be appointed to
do the deacons' work, and tho
deacon.-, thereby ignored. Let the
clerk keep an unbiased record of
all church work, and letyonr pas

Plea for Single Beds.
Two in a bed is the usualcustom
of sleeping, iu the United States
at least, and also iu Canada and
England. But in Germany and
France ingle beds are the rule.
The latter plan is more healthful
aud comfortable. It is gradually
coming into use in this country.
Single beds involve more linen,
more work making beds aud
more washing, but I never knew
a family to return to the old plan
after once giving single beds a
fair trial. Especially in summer
is the single bed to be preferred,
or even sleeping on the floor, to
two in a bed. Many families de
clare they never knew what corn
fort was, during the hot summer
nights, uutil they adopted the
single beds. I might add a word
of protest against allowing babies
or young children to sleep with
old people. The latter certainly
draw upon the vitality of the for
mer. This is probably true as
between, auy bedfellows one of
whom is sickly or less strong
thau the other. Consumption aud
other diseases have often been
communicated from one bedfel
hw to auothor.- Good House

Writers of fiction, no mater how
sensational, are obliged to avoid
working into their stories auy sit
uation that appears improbable.
Writers of facts are not thus
handicapped. Tho following is a
narration of an occurrence that,
wonderful and improbable as it
ma' seem, nevertheless happen
ed in this city.
One of tho large pawnbroker
age houses engages au expert ac
countant to go over its books
once a month. This accouutant,
who lives in Brooklyn, went to the
pawnbroker's oftlce direct from
his home recently to go over the
concern's book's. 1 le reached the
Bowery ou a car and walked the
rest of the way, stopped ouce ou
a road. When ho got to tho office,
instead of passing through tho
private hall he went through tho
store where the loans are made.
Ashe was entering the shop he
was almost knocked down by a
young man who rushed out
through the swinging doors. In
side he saw one of tho clerks
laughing and holdiug something
in his hand.
"Whatis the matter''" he asked.
"Why, that fellow, who just
rusneu out so wildly brought tins
watch and wauted 10 ou it. He
said he had bought it for 10. It
is a 2."0 watch, so I thought ho
had stolon it, aud I told him to
wait a minute and I would call up
the police and 11 Lid out whore no
had got it for that money. You
saw how he waited." And he
laughed again.
"Let me see it," said the ac
countant. The watch was a irold repeater
! aud stop watch. So soon as tho
j accountant cast his eyes ou tho
i timepiece he put his hand in his
J pocket where he usually carries
j his watch. -It was empty,
j "That's my watch," he said,
and opening the case of the back
i of the watch he showed an in
! scription which his father had
engraved there when ho present
ed it to him, The thief had stolen
it from him while he was in the
car, and had reached the pawn
broker's only a few minutes be
fore, aud before he himself had
discovered his loss. New York

"Yes, father," replied the
