Then there were prayers similar to t^ first one, and more music Toeal and instrumental, especi- ally the latter, indeed the noise wa$ ut times alniost intolerable, and wl.ile they spoke gUbfy of casting out the devil, I couldn't help wonderiug wbetJiertbe noise had something to do with this "Consummation devoutly to be wished." Certainly if his majbsty has'anyihmg correspoudmg to the human nervous system, or an ear for music, the wonder is, that he doesn't leave sooner. One can hardly help smiling at some of Uie incidents that occur at some of tbeir meetings. At this particular, one a soldier was praying lerveutly and just as he was expatiating on the vileness and misery of his hearers an enthusiastic fellow soldier shoutsd "Hallelujah" with a vim that was truly startling, and as if tbe fact of our being binners was a most delight- ful piece of news. It forcibly reminded me of a somewhat similar incident ttiat took place at a prayermeeting not not a thousand miles from Lyons Head. Attending the meeting was a very earnest old' brother who was also very deaf: But the fact that he didn't hear every thing, in no wise restricted tbe number and fervency of his responses. On one occasion some one in praying quoted tbe text "The divel as a roarmg hou goeth about seeking whom he may devour" when the deal brother cunvulsed the worshippers by a fervent "Glory be to his holy name." Another thing that struck me was the nouchalant, almost flippant, use of names and exprest^ions usually looked upon as sacret. One couldn't help wishing that they were uttered more reverently. Speaking seriously, few thoughtful persons I think can attend tbeir mftetings without being sorely puzzled as to the propriety and utility of tbe whole thing. Of course if they do good they can well afford to endure the sneers and tbe affected superiority of their opposers what if they are doing more harm than good What if their noise and childibh display and apparent irreverence repels more than they attract, and only for the time and hy virtue of their novelty? Who shall say? Though the town opinions differ widely as to tbeir methods and their success. Some ..

Is that it? He says he is as good a ftiend of the Sabbath School as I am. Well I erhaps so, I will leave others to jadge. Bat I think I am perfectly safe in saying that he has not been in the school to take any part in it more than twice a year, as the tiecretaiy's hook mil show and maybe he woald make a good teacher, or eyen Saperin- tendent, bat I am afraid he is spoiling badly for want of practice. However I am glad to hear he is a friend of the S. School, and hope he will continue to be. and that he will show it elsewhere as well as he does in the columns of yoar valuable paper.

Norris. He stiirts oat to tell the good folks of Markdale something about the wonderful country called "Lyon's Head " He fails, howeve/-' to tell us much alwut the place but with a faint cflfort he tells us a little about his journey to Owen Sound. He describes his fellow-creatures who accompanied him on the journey as a fat man a tall, lean man i and the conductor â€" a strapping, pompous fellow, etc. Mr. N. St enis to have a spite against railroad men by the way in which he expresses his feelings towards them. Whether Mr. N. was trying to travel on a half ticict and got put olf, or whether he at one time tried to raise himsalf to one of those honorable positions as punch- ing ticketo, we are not prepared to say but in the meantime Mr. N. must not compare railioading to school teaching. It was cer- tainly something now for him to travel bv rail, by the way he takes eyeiy little thing in. He, as I suppose, does thft most of his travelling by foot, or probably lumber wagon. This in which he takes a great intenjst in is nothing new to railroad men, only an eveiy day occurrence. The side show which Mr. N. describes as being really refreshing and most beautiful, is easily accounted for. You see Mr. N. has only one eye, hence we get a beautiful illustration of a side show, there- fore if he bad the other eye no doubt but Mr, N. would have furnished us with a moie exact account of his journey, iie only see- ing one side of the show, if he had changed go«4 ^fwaeaisy^ fa»*j» iitoy ««^ Bufewi a ulwus iwwiipc'«» «««* of oar ifmm$^ M|«»iwA«»»taj_; Whold oer bi«a«h.v JPw driver 1 wi M» Jfc»»«y his held eftlieffn%. »-|.g^^!

The road fiom Ooldwell's to Lions Head is but a repetition of the other half, now climbing over rocky hills, now dipping into pictoresqae wooded valleys, and presently emerging into a clearing, where the smooth, level, road seems like the calm between storji bursts.

If your readers had seen the 2 x 6 valise which he carried it might lead them tc think it was a side show itself, and no wonder such were his imaginations when the crowd met his gaze.
