“Fools rush in where angels fear to trend”
was ncver bctlcr exemplified than by the
presumption with which the charge of a
newspaper is sometimes assumed. The
responsibility resting on Ihe shoulders of an
editor is no light matter, and is far greater
than that of the author whose productions
are accepted or objected by the editor’s
udgincnt and so withheld from or presented
0 the public. Newspapers are fast taking
lic place of books which are as unwieldy,
cumbersome vehicles for the inpariing of
knowledge to mankind in general, as were
the old stage coaches for the conveyance
of travelers, and perhaps the day is not for
distant when the ground work of education.

edifice of man’s knowledge, shullbe entirely
built up by the periodical press. We have
read journals that are succinct daily bislo-
ries of the whole world’s doings. Olhcr
journals whose professed aim it, is to give
religious instruction, and to chronicle the
battles of the christian’s warfare against the ..
powers of sin. Ari has its mouth pieces.
mcnts. Romance, Poesy, Statistics, Wit,
Metaphysics and Bellis’ Letters all trundle
their waves once in so often into our doors
and leave them at our fircsidcs as mental
pabulum for young and old alike. While
vice and ignorance, folly and malice,just as
fond of good company as ever, intruding
upon the best society as much io-doy as 1872
years ago are no wit behind hand, and here
is where the editor’s responsibility begins,
and has no end. His is the imperative duty
to sec to it that nothing , shall be'pnblished
in the columns of his paper that is not for
the advancement of mankind towards bap-
pincss, light and knowledge. He is able to
fit more souls to live truly and nobly, or
he can prepare more to do Satan’s sci-vice
unearth than a “forty parson power” can
influence. Happily for us, and for our -
nation in most of cases, men do not take
upon themselves such onerous duties Wilh-
out careful consideration and due intellec-
tual preparation. Bui occasionally news-
papers arclhrnst upon our notice which
are issued by some ignorant malevolent or
scurrilous mind that make us sigh for the

knowledge of pnnclnntiOU, grammar or
rhetoric offenses to the educated, and stum-
bling blocks to the young who fancy if they

torial axe, to course personalities, to long
columns of “local items"of no sort of “L

one can defend the sale of opium to the

seeks it, on the unrestrained publication of
obscene literature. Such statements are.
libels upon us all. As well say all men are

to be attempted by a corporation called the

proving the practicability of tunneling

and audience from the best box in the house.
It was Hugh Blair,just returned from Culi~
foriiia, where he had been living for ten
years, and dazzling rumor allotted him a
gold mine for every year. Gold was not
the only charm, however, if one might trust
Miss Vernon’s rhnpsodics. He was liol ex-
actly handsome, she said, but something
more than handsome ; not exactly distin—
guished-looking, but something better than
distinguished looking; and he had an air of
oli'l-ilishioncd chivalry, and she did noi be-
lieve he would pay silly compliments. She
must certainly make his acquaintance ; but
how? WCuld lie—oh i would he be niMrs.
Gale’s AVcdnesduy evening reception ? She
had been to see Mrs. Gale already, and
easily prevailed on that lady to send him a
card; and after that success she dropped
in at Allie Stevrn‘s to talk it allover. Allie
was up stairs in her own rponi, nestled be-
fore a cozy fire, trying a new slipper stitch,
while Lou Hilllelyne held the pattern for
her. and the two were chatting merrily.
Miss Vernon was not discomfiied at find-
ing Lon there, for Lon was a nice girl, and
never milled: so, after kissing them both,
she took the easiest chair she could find, and
held up her little Paris boots toward the
fender. .
“Where do you keep yourself, Lou Hal-
lclyne ?” she exclaimed. “Upon my word
I don’t think I've seen you since that day in
December when Iwonldn’t give you my old
blue poplin for the mission-3111001. But you
know I bad to hand it over to Heloise, or
she would have left me on the spot, and
there isn’t her equal for dressing hair.”
“Heloise has more suits now than I i"
said Lon, laughing, as she put by the slipper
pollen, and rose.
"Lou, you shan’t go i” exclaimed Allie,
pulling her back into her chair. “If you
don't keep your promise I won’t do a thing
for you. You see, Clara, Lou is the best
Company in the world, only you never can
catch her, she is Sl‘ busy. So I have learned
a trick. She came round this morning to
beg something for a sick woman, and I
promised her my nice, warm old gray
wrapper if she would slayilud talk with me
for two hours. She couldn‘t resist the bail,
and the lime won'tbe up till noon. Now
all down and be good, Lou, and I’ll give you
a Dice, soft old blanket-shawl.”
“But now, girls, about Mrs. Gale’s party."
interrupted Clara, impatient oflhis by-filiiy;
“Who do yyo think is invited ?" And then
she run 011‘ into an enthusialic description of
Hugh Blair’s perfections, and how she must
gel acquainted with him ; and would he go
to the reception, did they think ? For,as she
concluded, half the time these really splen-
did men didn’t seem to care whether they
were in society or not.
“Why, Harl'y‘knows him i" said Alli
Stevens. “He was talking about him only
last wht, and how surprised he was to
have him come walking inio’ the studio all
fa sudden."
“Harry knows him,” exclaimed Clara :

party with llilll._l_ny0u would only say one

"No,” said ‘Allie, laughing ; “but you

do you say? Let’s all go delvn to the studio

I want you to see a portrait he is painting

be was very proud of her ar ist lover, en-
cring into all his ally-dreams and ambitions,

in his studio.
On this particular morning he was full of
a new subject which be bad just sketched
upon the canvas. It was to be a figure—
piecc—a real “composition,” he said, for lie
was tired of smooth landscapes, and cows
up to their knees in water, and trees, and
ruins. In fact, the most successful bits he
had ever painted had been sketches from
life of saucy news-boys, ragged mulch-girls,
and others of that ilk. This time he meant
to attempt something mere ambitious on a
canvas six feet by four; and as rugs are
more picturesque than good clothes, the
main figure was to be a'beggar, and the
most impressive beggar he could find a
model for. For this ideal beggar Harry
Essex had‘ haunted the most miserable por-
lions of the city, lilid watched the wretched
throng that gathered garbage from the dust
heaps and sewers, had chased every ragged
garment he saw fluttering away in the dis-
tance,and yet he was not sailed. He did
not want a knz'vc, nor an absolutely crushed
and hopeless vistim ; his beggar, though a
beggar, must be noble ; must have a mule
protest in his eyes against the wrongs of
society, and yet be a very beggar {or its
smallest alms. The search had been in vain
u-nlil to-day ; but this very morning Harry
Essex was satisfied, and sat at his canvass
with a model before him as ragged, us noble,
as sad, as utterlyforlorn as heart could wish.
Other pictures were huddled carelessly
aside'; even Allie-’5 sun-shiny fzicc, still un-
finished on its easel, was set away in'a dis-
tant corner to smile at cobwcbs, that all the
room and all the light might be lavished on
the beggar and the canvas.
“There, now, old fellow I” exclaimed
Harry, when it was near noon, “I’ve got
you splendidly sketched ill ; a mere outline
you know. There, don’t get up ; don’t
move ; I’ll wheel it round for you to see. I
can fiil'hp llic rags and patches anytime;
but I want to get a little of your face now
before we go to dinner. for fear I’ll never
catch the perfect expression again. I’m gc-
ing to paint in your eyebrows, my boy : so
keep still, and don’t move a lush.”

First came Allie, bright and sweet as a

peeping over her shoulder, was Lou Hallo,
lync‘s earnest little brunette face and brown
eyes,‘ full of pleased interest. Following,
these came Clara Vernon, tllc self-possessed
and graceful beauty—the “fair one with the
golden locks,” as some culled her—ex-
quiaitcly attired, and htilfsllrlllklllg back on
the threshold from the artistic confusion‘of
the studio.

sight of the rugged man who sat there, pa-

knotted stick at his side.
“Beg pardon, miss," said the beggar,
grimly pulling his slouclicd but lower on
his forehead. 4
“It‘s only my model, young ladies,” said
Ilarl‘y,his eyes sparkling with fun. “We
painters have to keep queer company some-

liow glad she would be to render any :.id
in her power to the unfortunate model and
his family. Harry's eyes would sparkle at
these inquiries, and at last he told her he
had found the fellow very deserving, and
that, if she pleased, the poor man would
come to her the next morning to aska
favor.
So, on the next morning, Lou Hallclyne,
full of gentle pity, sat waiting in the libra-
ry; but when the‘door opened, and she
turned, expecting to see 1 cr beggar, behold
it was Hugh Blair, and he asked for her
heart. \
Few words are needed to end the story.
Two happier people—two more kindly,
charitable people—never lived than Hugh
Blair and his wife. ’I'hcir choicest wed-

Esscx’s'mastcrpicce, “The Beggar at the

And he fell to painting again, chuckling
softly,'wbilc the girls fliltcd over to the other
side of the room, turning pictures around to
the light, and going into little ruptures over
everylliiug. Allie’s portrait was pronounced
“perfectly lovely." ,
“It flutters, of course; but then it ought
to flutter,” said Allie sagely. “Portraits
always ought to, for by-and-hy you get old
and people forget how you used to look ;
then it must be nice to point to your por-
trait and bid them see what you were.”

“I like this better,” said Clara, pausing
before a lady in a balcony dropping her

“ Well, I don’t know. It’s rather of a bore;
but I suppose I shall drop in before the

“Ofcoursc you will," said Allie. “And,

“Why.I never even heard of the man till

“Oh, it‘s Clara, then, our sweet icicle her-

for which there seemed no occasion. Allie
told him aflerwiird it was the rndcst 'hing

cd it.
“Never mind who it is,” she said, with
u coqucltish smile. “Only make him come
to the party with you, Mr. Essex."
“I will," said Barry, as if he were making
a vow. ,
And then the girls really must go; their
silkcn dresses rustlcd away, the gay vision
of the graces vanished, their light laughter
died on the ear, and Harry Essex and his
model sat staring at each oi‘her.
“Ob; do forgive me, Hugh ; do forgive
me i” exclaimed Harry, going into convul-

“Angel l Which ? The blonde. one ‘2‘"
asked Harry, in vague surprise.
“No ; the brown one, bless her i" said his
friend. And then he showed the money,
and told the story of her ready kindness.
wliilc Harry went off again into delightful
laughter.
“And I’ve lost. lily heart to that girl," said
Hugh Blair, “and I'll go through floodsund
fire to will hers”.
“All, life, life i” sighed Harry. “A falls

the country than to any party. We honor
those Senators whose courageous course
has compelled the disclosure of gross mis-
deeds, and they deserve the thanks and
heariy support of all good citizens.
_ Resolved, That local self-government. with
impartial suffrage, will guard the rights of
all Citizens more securely than any centra-
lized.aulborily. It is time to stop the
grmvmg cucrouchments of the executive
power; the use of coercion or bribery to
rarity a treaty; the packing of a Supreme
Court to relieve rich corporations; the
scaling ofmcmbers of Congress not elected
by the people; the resort to unconstitutional
law to cure the Ku Klux disorder. We de-
mand for the individual the largest liberty
consistent with public order, for the State
self-government and for the nation the return
to the methods of peace and the limitation
of power.
Resolved, That it is illike theduly oflioncst
men of all parties to expose corruption,
denounce the usurpation of power and work ‘
for relorms necessary for the public welfare
The times demand an uprising of honest
C‘lllZCDS to sweep from power men who pros-

niciiibering the example of'llieir fathers, in
the expression of their sympathy for the
struggling republics of South America, 5:15
well as for the opprcssed Greeks—and
grateful for me old which the founders of
our own Republic received from the coun-

and Pulaski, feel impelled by these consid-
erations, as well as by our obligations to
our common humanity. to lift up our vOices
in behalf ofllie suffering Cubans now des-
perately struggling for relief from their
op1)ressors. who set at naught all the usages
of ClVlllzed warthre, in their savage butchery
of captive men, women and children.
Resolved, That we are in favor ofa librrul
system of free SClIOOIH, and protest against
all interference by the General Government

Commodore Ashbnry, in a letter to the
New York Yacht Club, raises the question
whefller the time allowance system should
not be rearranged, to give time for the ne-
cessary six month's notice to be given of an
intention to compete again for the America’s
Cup. He says he has no knowledge that
anyone contemplates such a course this
year, but should he ever decide to revisit
New York, he will not take an equitable
sportsmiinlikc interpretation of the club’s
deed of trust as he did last year, and then
find an act of courtesy and generosity met
by a series of unfair proceeding, but shall
take a purely, legal consideration of that
document, asking no modifications or favors,
and giving nOne. His letter was quietly
tabled by the club, which subsequently
agreed that as the cup is the property of
lhe club, a suitable die be struck, for medals,
to be given to the owners of the yachts in-
strumental in retaining it. It has also been
agreed that Asbbury, having charged the
club with unfair conduct, the cups deposit-
by him with Commodore Bennett, to be
sailed for by its yachts, be returned.
