The interloper would hardly have lived through the night if he could not have given vent to this utterance. It was Impossible for him to sit still. There was somewhere a spring which lifted him up inevitably. At the close of the meeting he waited to be congratulated on his happy remarks, and went home feeling that he had given the world a mighty push toward the millennium. AVENGING ANQEL8.

D.D., pastor, Mid: New York, April 14.—Ex-Senator Rosooe Conkling had a relapse last night, and the doctors almost gave up hope. Although he rallied a Uttle later on his condition to more precarious than at any time during the present week. All over Christendom on Friday nights, or Thursday nights, or Wednesday nights, people assemble in churches for religious service. Is not the Sabbath service enough? Why invade the week night* with a church meeting! Many Christians do not appreciate it; indeed it is a great waste of time unless there be some positive advantage to be gained. The French nation, at one time, tried having a Sabbath only once in ten days. The intelligent Christian finds ha needs a Sabbath every three or four days, and so builds a brief one on the shore of a weekday, in the shape of an extra religious service. He gets grace on the Sabbath to bridge the chasm of worldliness between that and the next Sabbath, but finds the arch of the bridge very great, and so runs up a pier midway to help sustain the preewire. There are 108 hours in a week, and but two hours of public religious service on Sabbath. What chance have two hotirs in a battle with 1681 His life now bongs by a thread that may be snapped at any moment, and unless a very unexpected change for the better occurs before night the crisis cannot be much longer deferred. •D If such an one Is notoriously inconsistent, he will talk ohiefly on personal holiness.

The first was at 9 a. bl, when he wan accompanied, as usual, by Dr. Sands. They found their distinguished patient much hotter after the best night's restful deep be had yet enjoyed, and they toft feeling hopeful. Ate p. m. Dr. Barker returned, and found Mr. Conkling decidedly worse. Toe fever had returned during his absenoe, his pulse and temperature had gone up, and he was extremely nervous and restless. The delirium had returned, and nearly all the work of recuperation up to then accomplished had been undone. At 9 o'clock yesterday n large crowd of women gathered about the Jail, supplied with more eggs, and vowed that they will drive Mrs. Fen ton out of town. The excitement is intense hen over the evenl It mi the talk of «xrfaty far m w*«k. when a fresh impetus was given It by the filing of a bill tor divorce in the name of Beads Hilt yer Bulkley, asking that the marriage be declared void, alleging that undue influence was used to effect it, and that Mr. Bulkley was under age at the time. To this there came a number of denials Mr. Nogoelras stated that Miss Hlllyer seemed to be acting of her own free will, and the Rev. Mr. Ferguson, the Baltimore clergyman who performed the marriage, said that be failed to see any constraint in her actions. The county clerk in Baltimore said that young Mr. Bulkley had declared he was of age. Mrs. Bulkley bad returned to the residence of her father after the marriage, and remained there until Dec. SO. On that day a conference was held at the office of H. O. Cady, in this city, at which young Mrs. Bulkley appeared, accompanied by Senator Stewart, a friend of the family, and young Bulkley. Then the case was finally laid before her for decision. It was shown how her father was opposed to the marriage, but she was told to take her choice, home or husband. On* of the chiefs of this barbaric tribe is the expository man. He is very apt to rise with the New Testament in hand, or there has been some passage daring the day that has pressed heavily on his mind. It is probably the first chapter of Romans, or some figurative passage from the Old Testament. He says, for Instance: "My brethren, I call your attention to Hossa, 7th and 8th, Ephralm is • cake not turned.' Yon all know the history of Ephralm. Ephralm was—ah —welll He was a man mentioned in the Bible. Ton all know who he was. Barely no intelligent audience like this need to be told who Ephralm was. Now the passage says that he was a oak* not turned. There are a good many kinds of cak», my brethren! Thar* 1s the Indian cake, and the flannel cake, and the buckwheat cake. Now Ephraim was a cake not turned. It is an awful thing not to be turned.

Strikers Paid Off and Discharged. Meriden, Conn., April 14.—The strike Of the Italian laborers on the Msridsn and Watery railroad was ended yesterday. The company paid the men and discharged them. The strikers' shanty was then polled down by the company. The men left for New York without having any serious conflict, as was threatened; ▲ new foro* will be put to work at coo* at the old price. Reports from inundated points are to the effect that the water has commenced to subside. Fully twenty miles of the Green Bay road Is under water and trains are suspended.

A minister cannot know how to preach mil— in a oonfereooe meeting he find* the religious state of the peoplei He most feel the pulse before giving the medicine, otherwise he will not know whether It ought to be a n anodyne or a stimulant. Every Christian ought to have something to say. Every man is a walking eternity. The plainest man has Omnipotence to defend him, Omniscience to watch him, Infinite Goodness to provide for him. The tamest religious experience has in it poems, tragedies, histories, Iliads, Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. Ought not such an one have something to sayt If you were ever in the army, you know what it is to see an officer on horseback dash swifty past carrying a dispatch. Ton wondered as he went what the news were. Was the army to advance, or was an enemy coming. 80 every Christian carries a dispatch from God to the world. Let him ride swiftly to deliver it. The army is to advance, and the enemy is ooming. Go out and fulfill your mission. Too may have a letter committed to your care, and after some days you find it in one of your pockets; you forgot to deliver it. Great was your chagrin when yon found that it pertained to some sickness or trouble., God gives every man a letter of warning, or invitation to carry, and what will be your chagrin in the judgment to find that you have forgotten it A week night meeting widens the pulpit till all the people can stand on it.

Cincinnati, April li.—The strike is still on at Moerlein's brewery, so far as concerns the bands who engaged in the walk out Thursday. Forty men are oonoerned in ttw strike, and their plaose have been filled by non-union men. The lmpresiion prevails that a general strike will be inauguntfed very soon.

It sometimes happens'that this religions pert confines himself to the meetings of his own church. Interesting talkers are sometimes detained at home by sickness; but his health is always good.

There is in it an allusion to the death of a prominent individual. Yon do not understand whom be means. The fact is, h* composed that prayer about the time that Gen. Jackson died, and he has naver been able to drop the allusion. He has a patronising way of talking to siniMns, as much as to say: "Hoi yon poor, miserable sinners, just look at me, and, see what you might have been!" Dr. Barker looked grave as ho emerged, and did not attempt to conceal his apprehension. He said his patient had taken a very unfavorable change, and admitted that he feared lor the worst.

Buffalo, April 14.—For some time the village ot Attica, Wyoming county, has been greatly excited over the case of a young woman named Emma Toms, who goes into trances, the length of which she tells beforehand. She has now been in a trance lasting over a mouth. Etnma sank into her present sleep on Sunday, March 11. She had lain w.de awake eight consecutive days and nights, partaking during that time of more nourishment than in all the six months of her previous trance, during which she partook of a giasnlulof muk, administered in teaspoonf uls. it Was Coming. Chicago, April 14.—The beer brewers' itrike stands Just about where it did at first.

Testerday, however, many of these laggards followed the lead of their oomradeeand Joined in the strike. Others of the striken, who had, according to the statement of thebrewws, promised to return, did not do so. Nearly all the boss brewers rsport that they can deliver all the beer wanted. They are receiving a number of new men, and do not think the trouble will last long. Mr. Conkling rallied again later in the evening, and when Dr. Barker made another examination at 9 p. m. be found a slight change for the better. His pul»eaud injierature had again gone down a few degrees and the stupor had j artially gone. He had also been able to take some vary slight nourishment and bad reoovered some of the lost ground, but still was far from being as well as before the relapse of the earlier part of ibe evening. Th* Charges Against Kayaard Ksssssl. The family are especially sorrowful on account of the peculiar circumstances surrounding the case. Washington, April 14.—Mr. Qodkin, of Th* New York Evening Poet, has sent a letter to Senator Hale reaffirming th* ohargss hs recently made against Aaristant Secretary Maynard, of Interference in the custom how* management to accomplish political ends, and has followed up th* latter by a dispatch offering to produoe th* witnesses. At 11 -US, when Dr. Barker came out after a half hoar's visit to Mr. Conkling, he made the /olirtwing report: Seven Murderers in One Connty. Columbus, O., April 14.—Seven men are under indictment for murder in the first degree in one of the smallest counties in Ohio, Ashland county. Ail of these men come from the iiigher ranks of society, not one of them being a ruffian in any sense of the word, and they are all abstainers from intoxicating beverages. They come from twofami.iee, the two Mason brothers being charged with the murder of one Reynolds, and the five Chesrown brothers being charged with the murder of Kelly and Halbert It is possible that all these cases Vill be up for hearing at the next term of court. During her present trance the physician, wno calls daily, has managed to force between her lips a few teaspoonf uls of the liquid, but tois is a difficult feat, as she rarely parts her ape When closed her teeth are firm as a vjie, any effort to pry them open proving USS.&S.

Nkw York, April 14.—The boss brewers ■ay that 1,900 non-union workmen have tlready signed applications for employment, *nd that there is no doubt that the breweries in New York and Brooklyn will all start up Monday, independent of the old workmen. The latter aro equally confident that the bosses cannot carry out their programme. Both sides scout the idea of making any concessions. Cigarmakers' Union No. 10 have voted to aid the brewers in their threatened trouble. Oh I I wish some enterprising showman would gather all these offensive creatures from our churches into a religions menagerie and let them all talk together. We will take fly* season tickets for the exhibition. Let theee offenders be put by themselves, where, day in and day out, night in and night out, they may talk without interruption. Nothing short of an eternity of gab would satisfy them. What will they do in heaven, with nobody to exhortt We imagine them now rising up iibthe angelic assemblage, proposing to make a few remarks. If they get there you will never again bear of silenoe in heaven for th* space of half an hour. Alas! the land is strewn with th* carcaates at prayer meetings slain by these religious desperadoes. In most churches they have driven the young people from most of tne devotional meetings. How to get rid of this'affliction is the question with hundreds of churches. We advise your waiting on such persons, and telling tbsm that owing to the depraved state of public taste their efforts are not appreciated. If they still persist, tell them they most positively stop or there will be trouble. If, under all this, they are incorrigible, collar them and hand them over to the police as disturbers of religious assemblages. As you lov* th* church of God, put an and to their ravages. It is high time that th* nuisance was abated. Among the Boraeaian and Fejee Islanders I class this tribe of itinerant nuisancss."I found Mr. Conkling sleeping quietly. The ne voug irritation of this evening wai almost entirely gone. He had just taken some whisky and some malt milk. His pulae was te, and, although I did not take hit temperature accurately, I found it was prettj fair. I must say my barometer of hope hai risen considerably since this evening." . 8uch a service tests one's piety. No credit for going to church on Sabbath. Plaose of amusement are all closed, and there is no money to be made. But week nights every kind of temptation and opportunity spreads before a man, and if he goee to the praying circle he must give up these things. The man who goee to the weekly service regularly, through moonlight and pitch darkness, through good walking and slush ankle deep, will, in the book of Judgment, find it set down to his credit He will have a better seat in heaven than the man who went only when the walking was good, and the weather comfortable, and the services attractive, and his health perfect That eervioe which costs nothing God accounts as nothing.

To a question as to whether he anticipated .loath during the day, the doctor said: "1 do not expect he will die to-day." When, some time ago, she predicted to the reporter that she would sleep thirty days, aud perhaps longer, she did so without the least hesitation. Mrs. Cook ling, who had been watching by her husband's bedside in deep anxiety from the tune her husband's illness took an unfavorably, turn in the evening, retired to rest after Dr. Barker's visit.

Bin FIt* In Nantlcoke. Fa, A week night service thrusts religion in the secularities of the week. It to as much as to say: "This is God's Wednesday, or God's Thursday, or God's Friday, or God's week!" You would not give much for a property the possession of which you oould have only one-seventh of the time, and God does not want that man whose services He can have only on Sabbath. If you paid full wages to a man and found out that six-sevaaths of the time he was serving a rival house, you would be indignant: and the man who takes God's goodness, and gives six-sevenths of hi* time to the world, the flesh, and the devil, is Wilkzsbarrk, Pa., April 14.—The most disastrous fire that Nanticoke has experienced in twelve years broke out there at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon in a paint shop, located in the rear of a fine brick row of stores on Main street.

The buildings totally destroyed were: Furniture factory of Simon Warmser. livery stable of J. C. Stiles, meat market of Martin Waters, three dwellings owned by Joseph Nodjeck, and a number of houses of the Silas Alexander estate.

The week day service gives additional opportunity of religious oulture, and we find it so difficult to do right, and be right, that we cannot afford to miss any opportunity. Buch a service is a luuch between the Babbath meals, and If we do not take it we get weak and faint. A truth coming to us than ought to be especially effective. If you are on a railroad train, and stop at a depot, and a boy conies in with a telegram, all the passengers lean forward and wonder if it is for them. It may be news from home. It must be urgent or it would not be brought there. Now if, white we are rushing on in the whirl of everyday excitement, a message of God meets us, it must he an urgent and important message. If God speaks to us In a meeting midweek, it is because titers' is something that needs to be said before next Sunday. to the Lard. The whole But while there la no room In week night service for those who have nothing but hypocritioal cant, there is more and more demand for tboae who speak out of their own heart experiences. No matter about the elocution. No matter about the grammar. The most effective man in my Philadelphia prayer meetings was a man who In every prayer and exhortation smashed all the laws of English grammar, but when he talked or prayed the h sevens bowed down, and young and old were deeply interested. If you have the grace of God In your heart, and want to grow and want to be useful, speak out, and let no human criticism embarrass you. There Is an nnllmitwd amount of common sense in the world, and all the people know right away whether you are honest and sinowe in your utterances. Minister Phelps Arrivee la Mew York.
