from first Never mind, the farmer sows and then waits a long while until he reaps. The backslider will ent the bread of his own making, even comes late in the process of making. When he would come back to dine at the Lord's feast all is soured for him. He is religious dyspeptic. He would pray, but he can't; he would be tastes.

reThe Bible is dull, the church is dull, the freshed with the gospel, but nothing minister is he can't enjoy anything. His conduct comes back him the rod he made punishes him. Filled! Yes; at last he is satiated and the honey of the world cloys him. How he longs to return-but it is a hard road. The mental tortures of backslider are often indescribable.

"Ren turn ye," God calls. We may return. With God's help the backslider even may return. Yesterday's Funerals. The remains of Revs.

Mumma and Conrad, who were killed while walking along the P. S. V. rood, were, removed to ing, and taken to the late residence of Denver, Lancaster county, yesterday mornRev. Conrad.

The remains of the two men were dressed in plain white shrouds, each having a small sheaf of wheat clasped in their hands and were encased in neat walnut coflins. Hundreds of people viewed the remaing at the late residence of Rev. Mumma on Tuesday evening. The coffins were standing side by side, and as the steady stream of persons passed through the room many were overcome and wept freely at the sad sight. The house, yard and pavements were crowded with spectators and it is estimated that over 500 persons viewed the corpses.

Many were sympathizing friends, but most came out of morbid curiosity. The funeral will take place from the residence of Rev. Conrad to-day at 12.30 p. and will proceed to Steinmetz's meeting house for interment. Services will be held by Rev.

Harry Lengel, a former pastor of the Ancient Church of God, and Rev. Abel Strawn, of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ, of city.

Reading's Board of Trade discovered that until a city of any class has secured at least one thoroughly organized and liberally appointed hotel, it cannot claim to command much outside consideration, because there is nothing that militates against a city, or a borough, that much as a meanly kept, poorly constructed hotel. People from a distance, who stop in such establishments then depart from a locality, do so with disgust and disdain for the proprietor of the house and the ple of the Indepen dent.

It is very funny, being loud, the music is much above the average, "and all of the without company clever in what they do." Evening Theodore Thomas' unrivalled orchestra will appear at the Academy of Music. Harpers' Weekly, in a recent number, says: concerts have never been more delightful than they are this season. It is undoubtedly the finest orchestra ever heard in New York, and it is due to two things one, that Thomas conducts it; the other, that it is a picked and permanent orchestra. Moreover, it is largely maintained at his risk and expense. But it is only by such an orchestra that the finest results can be achieved, and neither Thomas the public that he has educated would tolerate any other results.

Theodore Thomas has unquestionably done more for the eduNew York than any one service cation and elevation of musical, taste in that he has so long rendered, and still renders with increasing charm, merits the amplest recognition.

Michael Rastacter's Incineration. inquiry came from Reading, this morning, concerning the incineration of Michael Rastatter, of Reading, which curred on Wednesday last week. A rumor had obtained circulation in Reading that the incineration was not complete, or unsuccessful, in some regard or another. This probably had its origin in the fact that the ashes were not shipped to Read. ing last week, had been expected; but this was not because the incineration had not been complete.

As a matter of fact it required hours to reduce Mr. Rastatter's body to ashes instead of hours, the usual length of time, the additional time having been necessary because of the great weight of the deceased, nearly 300 pounds. It was too days after the incineration before the retort had cooled sufficiently to remove the ashes, and the latter were deposited at Mr. Walter A. Heinitsh's undertaking and furniture depot on Saturday.

Mr. Heinitsh shipped them to Reading New Era, April 4. The Coming Musical Event.
