Hampdeu Rcbb, Andrew II. Oreen, nnd Sherman H. Rogers of ItulTalo, The single absentee was Prof. M. B. Ander son of Rochester. Tbe net result of the commission's labors has been to select those pieces of property in the Niagara lUver and along its American shores which will prove suitable fora public park, and toprocme their appraisal by a compotent board ap- IKiiuteil by tbo courts. The value of the property which has been selected was rated by the owners at ?o,000,(100. Tbe appraisers took a largo mass of testimony, and afjier long and perplexing labors fixed a price which was believed to be reasonable and cer tainly just to the ow-iicrs and to the Htate. Tbit is in round numbers #1,000,000. Tho majority of the property owners nro satis fied, though a few have determined to ap- poal from the decision of the court concern ing tho appraiser's leport. Thoso fitcts will bo presented to tho Legislature, together with the recommendation that tho property lie pm chased, uud the park be laid out for the benefit of the public, and steps be promptly taken to prevent further destruc tion of this great national curiosity. The Commission takes tbo view that tho Htate can never conclude a purchase more reason able in its terms than that ut the present time. It will ask the Legislature to appro priate the amount uoccsary for the purpose. Tho Commission has performed its work iu tbo most economical manner.

— Meuibei* of the Niagara Fails l'ark Com mission met in tbe oflice of Andrew H. Oreen, New York, Friday, to discuss the form of a report of tbeir labors, wtiich Is to

j Tie presented to tbe next legislatuie. There were present the President, William Dor- sbeiuier, Seuutcr J. Hampdeu Rcbb, Andrew II. Oreen, nnd Sherman H. Rogers of ItulTalo, The single absentee was Prof. M. B. A nder­son of Rochester. Tbe net result of the commission's labors has been to select those pieces of property in the Niagara lUver and along its American shores which will prove suitable fo ra public park, and top rocm e their appraisal by a compotent board ap- IKiiuteil by tbo courts. The value of the property which has been selected was rated by the owners a t ?o,000,(100. Tbe appraisers took a largo mass of testimony, and afjier long and perplexing labors fixed a price which was believed to be reasonable and cer­tainly just to the ow-iicrs and to the Htate. Tbit is in round numbers #1,000,000. Tho majority of the property owners nro satis­fied, though a few have determined to ap- poal from the decision of the court concern­ing tho appraiser's leport. Thoso fitcts will bo presented to tho Legislature, together with the recommendation th a t tho property lie pm chased, uud the park be laid out for the benefit of the public, and steps be promptly taken to prevent fu rther destruc­tion of th is great national curiosity. The Commission takes tbo view that tho Htate can never conclude a purchase more reason able in its terms than tha t u t the present time. It will ask the Legislature to appro­priate the amount uoccsary for the purpose. Tho Commission has performed its work iu tbo most economical m anner.

away with a long resonant groan of his own, Then he sits bolt upright, hooks his shoul­der-blades over the back of the pew and hangs on. He i* going to sit still this Sun­day if It kills him. But the pow is too high, so ho settles down a little. Then he puts a hymn-book between bis back and the pew. Then he leans forwaid anil lets it fall with a crash. Then he folds his arm s; he half turns and lays one arm along the back of the pew. Suddenly Lo slides down and braces both knees against the bgck of the pow in front, Al}, that's; comfort, i t lasts ninety second*, when ho abruptly straightens up, elevates bolb aims, and hooks bis elbow* oyer the

j back of his pew. That isn't what be wants; j his legs are tired; he reaches for tho hassock

with both feet, upsets it,and, in a frantic ef­fort to stay it, kicks it agaiust tho po .’. Covered with burning euibnrrasnient he pulls out his watch twice or thrice without once looking ut it. He folds his arm s across liis breast, then be crosses them behind his

| back; ho thrusts his hiiuds Into Ijjs |>ocketn | lie drops a Bible on the iloor and puts his | feet into his hat, and a t times you look to

see him go all to pieces, but ho doesn't, j He stai s together and eome* back neat Sup ; day, every limb snd j. ln t of him.

THE WATCHER.His neck is fitted on a glolie socket and

turns clear round. He sees everything that j goes on. The man who conies in late does I nut escape him, and it is vaiu for the tenor

to think he got that little rmfo to the alto conveyed between the l- uves of the hymn book unobserved. The watcher saw it. He sees the bole in the quarter tha t Elder Hkin- nor dropped iu the pl.itu. Hu sees that Dea­con Slowboy has but one cuff. If the door swings he look's around; if the window moves noiselessly he looks up, He sees the stranger In his neighbor's pew, and be sees Brother Badmau sitting uway back under the gallery, furtively taking a chew of the inhibited fiue-cut. All things that nobody wnnt* him to see, the watcher see*. Ho sees so I16 has no time to listen.

THE TIME KEEPER.As you pronounce your text, you see the

time-keener take out his watch, look a t it carefully, nnd close it with a snap that says:“ Oo ” clear to tho pulpit. You know that he hus you down to a second, and th a t he keeps a faithful record of tbe length of every sermon you praach, usually adding ' five or ten minute* to the record, “ to allow I for a difference in watches,” During thu *ermon hu refers to tha t watch every few minute* or oftener. And when you havo been preaching, say, twenty five minutes, the time-keeper looks a t his watch and starts. Can lie be)iovu his eyes! He looks at the watch; then be gazes at von. Then he looks around a t the clock on the gallery to be assured that his watch hasn’t been stop­ped ever sippe last Sunday. Then he make* a movement to close the watch snd return
