Tho centenary of John Wesley's death xrna Celebrated with appropriate ceroinonies ?>y Methodist churches generally thronghout Europe and America, and tho life aud work of the apostle of Methodism wero eulogised by the ministers in their sermons. Tn London, England, a statue erectod in his honor was unvelloJ, in the presence of a largo number of people, in front of the City Road Chapel, tho headquarters of tho Wesloyans. Tho Rev. Frederick William Farrar, Archdeacon of Westminster, toolc part in the ceremonies attending the unveiling of the statue, and afterward, with Sir Robert N. Fowler, one of the members of Parliament for London City, addressed a meeting in the City Road Chapel, extolling the virtues of Wesley. Archdeacon Farrar delivered a long and eloquent eulogy of John Wesley, in tho course of which he snid that he regretted, as a Churchman, that the Church, 100 years ago, bad not tho wisdom to ass" ^tlalo with the mighty enthusiasm which *?? ? momentum to the Wesleyan movement. It seeme<l, aid tho Archdeacon, shocking and disgraceful in Christians, l>ound by a common Christianity, to treat each other with mutual coldness. John Wesley himself, he .... addod, set an example of splendid tolerance. The Archdeacon, in conclusinn,reminded the congregation of the wordm of Wiiijam Foao, that the humble, meek, merciful and just are all of one religion, and will so recognise one another when in another world, with the mask off. In New York City a number of clergymen connected with th? Methodist churches assembled at the Methodist ,B$ok Concern to celebrate tile . 'one hundredth anniversary in an appropriate manner. Rev.

There was no! quarrel between them; they were not; i deaf mutes; they wore normal, cvery-day) young mcu, and one, at least, longed' ardently to hear the other's voice. , It came about in this way'"Iladlcy was' a reporter on the New?-Uerald% where he had filled a certain round of dry-as-dust assignments for years and was not muchi liked by his associates. He had a tend-* ency to drudge; he wore faint "muttonchop" side-whiskers and turned up the bottoms of his trousers when it rained.' But he was really a capital fellow, and in spite of his prosiac exterior ho had a little romance of his own. He was engaged to be married, and Alice Tyler was a girl of whom any one might well be proud. She was the niece of a friend of Hadley's, and when he proposed to; her, after a long, despairing courtship,' he was astounded to find himself ac-< cepted. It seemed incredible that such a perfect creature could ever be his own, but after ho had somewhat recovered from his transports his practical nature* asserted itself, and he began to retrench his expenses In preparation for the event. Thus it -was that he eventually answered an advertisement for a room-mate. It so happened that the other occupant of the room was also a reporter, although a very different stamp of man. John Asfiton was a meteoric genius. Ho was a waif from dead and gone Bohemia. His forte was the strange, tho odd, and the grotesque, and his startling and unlooked-for strokes had gone far toward making the Chronicle famous. In his il'jld he was invaluable, and he had long since killed his chance for promotion by meriting it too much. The Neict-IIerald, as everybody knows, is published in the afternoon, while the Chronicle is a morning daily, and Hadley, who had made his arrangements through the landlady, was disappointed, when he awoke early on the tirst day in j his new quarters, to find that his room' vrtup-had let himself in sometime 1 '-durrty ilk night, was then asleep in the 1 ??r- alaove.opposite his own. He had J \ much pleasure from \ 'm nqL"acfrqfred^ but the pale, handsome j faqyand 'slight form, relaxod in the languor, uf. deep, sleep, prompted him to dreHic ^s- quietly as possible and slip out without awakening the other. :It. turned out, to Hadley's infinite chagrin, .and probably to Ashton's secret amusement, that this was no mere acci ' drffit.' '"The former went to work earlv in thcr morning and his duties ended I kv)\enll"thc big presses threw out the first ''copy of the last edition, at about dusk. ,A?lyoii, on, the other hand, arose a little . {lftcr nooq, lounged about until dark,and : Jeftf his desk any time between one and thrae o'clock at night. Consequently, when he reached the room he invariably j found Had ley asleep, and when he awoke he was the only occupant. And rice ' 1 vfcraa. Several things conspired to maintain this fantastic relationship. Their .offices were remote from one another. jj^Thcir work was essentially different. It 1 ?did not make common resorts or mutual ItV- ?? - w ? t r vunuvou ?unir Ujf day they never met. I touch was the curious train of eventi - which had carried them through one summer and into an autumn that brought to Hadlcy many a miserable heartache. A shndow had somehow fallen across tho honest fellow's love affair. It was hard* t ly to be defined in terms; that was the worst of i?*-it was so intangible; so dif. ficult to say juBt what was wrong. There was a change in Alice. She was silent; she was distraught; her tears came and went like April rain. Yet she protested that nothing was amiss, and methii well-meant questioning with an impatience that surprised and frightened him; for he did not know very much of women, and her asseverations sounded to bis ears liko confessions in disguise. Above all, he felt a cumbersome unfitness to cope with the situation. It was like a plow-boy essaying to probe a sensitive wound, and at Innaf.h he feared to speak lest he should precipitate some un, known crisis. Thus it was, when at dusk one autumn day he walked from the office to Alice's home to pay one of his customary visits. 1 It was an indolent evening, suave with the spell of Indiau summer, aud through the dreamy haze that wrapped the city l A?.an fl.o U. ~ C A fl! 1-^ #-?-A - vibu iuc it iiin ui irnuic duuduvu mint an(i harmonious, like n choir of giant insects at the approach of night. He fell into a vague reverie as he walked on, and when he stopped mechanically before the house lie did not ring at once, hut sat down upon u littic bench just within the gato and masked by lilac-hushes. iThc narcotic calm of the scene and hour had lulled him into serenity, and night fell unmarked, until, at length, a familiar voice broke in upon his medita? lie recognized it on the instant aa Alice a, bin" tc miwith dpeper tppes that were unfamiliar to him. Although tf6f iSePfls had yet det&ohed themselves frdm the tangle of sound, it seemed to him that one voice was urging and one remonstrating. Presently they came nearer and stooped bv the orate. "Oh, I cannot! I cannot 1" some one cried. It was Alice's voice, and Although there waa not a jot of the spy in Hadley's nature, something in tho intonation held him spell-bound. "But why not?"' said the other voice, n melodious bAritonc?low, persuasive, \ thrilling. "But why not? It was a con- j ditional promise; the conditions linvo ' changed and that is " "No; it is not that,," broke in the girl. Bho was speaking quietly, tut a r # # " ' -V pathethic little quaver ran through her words. "Oh, can't you understand! He is honeet and true, and I could not break his heart!" A moisture sprang on Hadley's forehead r.nd very slowly he opened and closed his hands. There was pause, and then the pleasant baritone again: '"Are there no rivers in Damascus? What of my heart, Alice?" Had ley heard ua more. Something seemed to sullocato him. His breath went no further than than his throat, and the dusky web of lilac-branches danced in black and shapeless phantasmagoria be-' fore his eves. He was dimly conscious or a patter of feet, a wave of perrume,) and gush of yellow light as the hall doorclashed open aud shut, and then he knew he was nlono again. Alone 1 A hideous sense of loss, and bitter,hopeless desolation, such aa he had never felt and never dreamed of, overwhelmed him. He did not think; he did not dare to think. He staggered to his feet, opened the gate and passed out. To run away, to elude this thing as if it was some sentient, palpable pursuer, t was the first impulse that possessed him, and he hurried on, blindly, stumblingly, he cared not whore. How for he walked thus he had no means of knowing, but when be stopped it was on a thronging thoroughfare, before the window a great emporium, aquivcr with electric lights. Ho drew a long breath and pulled himself together. An illuminated dial that punctured tho gloom of tlio upper marked after midnight, and a faintness began to assail him, a deadly reaction that turned his knees to water. The careless, alien crowd jarred on him, the barbaric s|?cndor of the windows smote itnrtn hin hrnin : be -wanted to bfl alone. and presently he saw the open doorway of a cafe and entered. A lew people sat at tables here and there,: affd. ion one hand were the curtained doorways of a row of little rooms or stalls. He walked instinctively to want one of these and drew the drapery asido. A man within, who was musing, apparently, over a bottle and a half-eaten meal, turned at the sound, and the room-mates looked one another in the face. Ashton was the first to recover himself, and sprang up with outstretched hand. "Why, my dear fellow 1" he exclaimed, "Am I indebted to insomnia for this pleasure?" Uadley took his hand absently, but did net at once reply. What was there about that voice, with its plausible, vibrating timbre, that thrilled him so? "I have been a little troubled," ho said, hesitatingly, "and tried to?walk it off." "Hal And camo in here, I dare say, to drown it in drink, as the proverb goes. My word for it, trouble is the thirstiest thing on earth. I tried to drown a small sorrow in drink onco, and when I was under the table there was the sorrow, sober as a judge. But I'll tell you something, Hadley, it won't stand feeding. Tho proper thing to drown sorrow in is mutton chops and fried potatoes. Suppose wo put it to the touch. Waiter!" "Hold!" 6aid Hadloy, who burned to stop this badinage, "I am not hungry? not in the least. Let mo sit down a mo[ meat and think." at the other with a sudden, haggard fn| tentness. A thought had just occurred J to his distracted mind. Why was not I this man, so bright, so versatile, so self! contained, so en rapport with the great i world and its usages?why was not he ths i very man of all men to give him counsel in +Viia nwwlirampnt. ? ! "Ashton," he said, "I am in distress, i Will you give me your advice!" ! Ashton smiled grimly. "You have come to a good shop lor , advice." he said. "My whole life is j more or less a warning. However, if I \ can be of any service to you, blaze away. Out with it, my boy 1" But Hadley did not tind the story so easy to tell. < "I am engaged to be married," ha ] said, at length. "Ho! ho!" cried Ashton. "I forsee a stern parent with a prejudice against literary characters." Then something me," he said, gently. "What is this trouble of yours? You need not mention the lady's name, of course. Make it a hypothetical case." ' "Oh, no!" said Hadley, "I can con, fide in you. She is the best girl in the world. Her name i9 Alice Tyler." | Ashton was leaning over the table I toying with a glass, but at the words he rose involuntarily and fixed his eyes upon | the other with strange and challenging regard. Hadley paused for a moment 1 with a dim and troubled conscience that he had touched some hidden spring; I but only for* moment, and then, slowly ! and incoherently, ho told his story. Ashton sank back as he proceeded and heard him in silence to the end. "Do you know this man?" he asked, when it was done. "No," replied Iladley, gloomily. "What docs it matter who he is?" in thought. "Hadley," he demanded, suddenly, "do you really intend to marry this girll But pshaw?" he continued, "you are too Luucst to be a tslflcr. And this fellow ?why, a thousand to one he is amusing himself looking for a new sensation, and has no more use for a wife than he would hare for a bishopric. Tou must hare saved some money, Lave you not?" "Yes," said Iladley, rather surprised; "I have a few thousand dollars in bank." "Well," sighed Ashton, "this Is a world of fact, but wo can't all grasp it. Some men are made for homes and soma I are not. I might have ten times youl | income, and the last chapter would fln<l 1 me a vagabond. I tell you, Hadley, you I hsva nA rofil rival Thifl ia a aharlAvi that haa already passed, and shadow! loave no trace." "What shall I dot" he asked. "Pot Why, do nothing.

"When had I best go?" "Go to-morrow. You will come back a new man and find her eager to welcome you." Hadley reflected a moment. "I will take your advice," he said.

It is a great disinfectant, and \ sweetens offensive air if placed in thai/ low trays around apartments. It is so V very porous that it absorbs and condenses | gases rapidly. One cubic inch of fresh ' charcoal will absorb nearly one hundred * inches of gaseous ammonia. Charcoal t forms an excellent poultice for malignant g wounds and sores. In cases of what is t called proud flosh it is invaluable. It gives * no disagreoable odor, corrodes no metal, f hurts no texture, injures no color, is a , simple and safe sweetener and disinfoc' tant.
