THE SALVATION ARMY.

The Press at Home is even mo*e much upon the Salv.ition Army th ncolo-il journals, This is the way that one Loudon paper chronic es an incident that look place at a camp meeting ‘ Yes, 1 said happy Eliza, ‘ look at me and my husband ;we are both saved A short tone ago no were both drunkards—horrible, despicable drunkards ; we were starving ; we were without Hot,king, I had only one chemise to my hack. But I am saved ; and n: w I have two demise-), not to mention other articles of elothimr Have I not, eapli >g?’ An 1 her husband ans ered, wbb gr c- end salvation on every feature of his fa e, ‘ Missus, you 'as 1

The Norwich Argus ; s not in love with the balvation Army. H. to is a paragraph clinped fiom its columns The Norwich Salvation sts now boast a strong band of brass—we h!muM have thought, they had enough in their own com- osition—and the nntniored wielch s w-Te the echoes of the morn with their d ; s cordant strains for ihe first lime las 1 Sunday, ftttrac ing large and noisy crowds much to the annoyance of peaceful ciiiz-o a. If people cannot he indm-ed to visit their holy (?) barracks exeept by the aid of noisy instruments, ile-y hid better stay at Lome in Paean ignorance. One’s oars are polluted early and laie by ribald snatches of Army hymn-* elnmte I by drunken fellows homeward bon d. or shouted Ly thoughtless youths of b -lb sexes going or T-lnming from w*.rk The War (Jry continues to pour forth its blasphemous filth worse than ever. List week we wre told by its Aberystwiih <oirespondent that trie Salvationists there had ‘got so near heaven that they cmjld hear its angelic mus e and see Jesus of Nazareih passing by, while one soldier actually ‘had a rare goo i look at his Saviour?’ The Deril figures in neatly every paragraph, and His Satanic Mai .-ty has to do duty in all si.apes— !l( ,w m o ing. now laughing ; while alln.-Tnis m tl ,:s sacred name of Hod aie made m - o most revolting fashion. The cupidity o the chief impostor, Booth, peeps out Imr and there where he introduces a reference to Ills cheap Army clothing, musical instrnmenis, etc . an 1 asks for subscriptions that he may carrv on lo'w ‘ glorious work !’ Booth has aso started nsot of deposit bank, where ‘ frien Is, whi'e securing for their n« n use the in an st upon their money can giv their capi al to the Lord’ He proposes, therefore, to receive deposits of miiv amount abo e £5, for fixed periods, at fixed rat s of interest ; and to secure the repayment of the deposit he will ol hge wi h a nroraissory note, offering interest for five years certain at 5 per cent per annum, or for four years certain at A per cent. Depositors, he says, may withdraw their fixed deposits by giving six months, 1 notice of their intention to do so. ‘ Thus,' concludes the General, ‘friends who cannot afford to give what they have, can lend it, with assurance that the loan will be rep dd upon u certain date.’ We would, however, caution those readers desirous of investing to b« careful how they close with this tempting offer of the ‘Chief of the SiafF.’

A DtG'S SAGACITY. There is a big black dog at Folhill Gully, described (by one who has occasion to remembi r the brute) as being at least 4ft high, and ferocious in proportion. No use chaining him up, for m chain is strong enough. So saith the deponent ; and hi< complaint is that this big black is too dangerous to be at largo. The dog’s savageness nmy probably be only another name for sagacity. This curious incident supports that inference, A man ran out of his cottage in the. night to fetch a neighbor to attend his sick wife ; and stiddenlv the man found hitus If * stuck up ’ by a great big dog, which held its paws on his shoulders, and pinned him to a fence. Hie i: an <1 are not move for a long nine, and struggling was also dm.-ennis, will) the dog’s teeth close to his throat, though it did not bite. Somehow the dog got tired of this attitude, and h j t the frightened man go unhurt on In’s night errand of mercy. That dog has stuck up the same man in broad daylight several limes since that featful night attack. Indeed this repent'-1 ‘ sticki ig-up’ .-hows the biute’s saga i v, for as the dog had first seen the man running past the dog’s premises in the tlio dark, under suspicions circumstances, it is ratln r a proof of the animal’s sensible reasoning wnen it continues to treat the same nv n as a suspcc’ed person. Instead of complaining of this brutal treatment the. man ought to get a proper ten monious introduclion to that, big black dog, in broad daylight, and treat it to a dose of petting by way of acknowledging the d(e*’s excellent sense as a nia hi■ watch man . Was it not taking a ni 'dii advantage to go and ask a magistrate to order <li.it dog to he tied up—a dog that has such an excellent sense <d his duty as a night, protector of pmpeity. —N.Z. Mail.

Miserableness. The trust wonderful and marvellous success, in cases where

persons are sick or pining away from a condition of rniserablcness that no one knows what ails them (profitable patients for doctors), is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters. They begin »o cure from ihe first dose, and keep’ic up until perfect health and length is restored.—Notice.
