CATHOLICISM IN NEWARL-ARAMPANT mesr
Tan COST or RUM-lTnas—Cnnomos—
Twnun on rnn STAND—BUSINESS.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16th. 1877.
A Catholic priest in Newark, named Leon-
ard, is taking a hand in politics, as well as
religion. He commenced his sermon last
Sunday with a violent diatribe against the.
free school system, denouncing it as a gross
wrong to ”the church,” and one which every
Catholic was bound by his religion to 'oppose.
He held that the church alone had the right .p
to control the education of children, and that
education outside of the church could not be
tolerated. Father Leonard went out of his
way to show that the church had the power
to enforce its demands. He narrated how
only last fall, a man named O’Reilly, born of
Catholic parents, but who had joined a Prot-
estant church, was a candidate for office, and
how as soon as he heard of it he instructed
his flock and the unfortunate O’Reilly did
not get a Catholic vote. And “Father Leon-
ard notified‘the politicians that the Catholic
church was a unit, and was controlled by the
clerical authorities, and that it would be felt
this fall. The sermon created a great deal of
feeling in the city, as all that the reverend
gentleman said is true, though his confreres
have more sense than to make their purposes
known so early in the game. When the
enormous Catholic population of the Eastern
States is taken into account, together with the
fact that all Father Leonard said as to the
church’s power is true, it is not to be won.
dered at that such a declaration should excite
comment.
THE TEMPEBANOE MOVEMENT.
The temperance organizationsare distribut-
ing tracts showing the cost of rum. to the
city, with a view of awakening a deeper in.
terest in the fight they are making against it.
The total number _of arrests in the city for
' the quarter ending Sept. 1st, was 18,493. Of
these the number traceable directlv to
rum, was 14,090! Probably half the re-
mainder could be traced indirectly to rum,
but itis safe to say that fourofifths of the
enormous police force required to keep the'
peace in the city, owe their employment to
rum, and ninety per,cent. of the crimes and
casualties can be' traced to the same cause,
With these fig .res before one, it is no wonder
that the pubii- demand its regulation, at all
events, and ( xtinction if possible.
TEAS.
The lovers of tea will be gratified to know
that teas are lower in the great importing
houses than they were before the war. The
reduction has been brought about by the de-
creasing demand. When wages were high
the laboring man not only drank good tea,
but bought it by the pound, and the moder-
ately well-off by the chest. Now it is differ-
ent. The laboring man buys it by the ounce,
and the better-off by the pound, and many
have been led to abandon the luxury alto-
gether. Then the course of tradc‘has chang-
ed. New York is no longer the great im-
porting center, for the western cities are re-
ceiving it direct from, China and Japan, via"
the Pacific railroad, and enormous quantities
have been rushed upon the American market
because of the improved facilities for getting
it. The importers with large stocks on hand
are suffering terribly, and the fear is that the
bottom is not yet reached.
(lHBOMOS.
Good friends in the country, beware! This .
is the season for the chromo' man to com-
mence his devastating career, and you will be
acute if he does not take you in. When a
mild, meek-faced young man enters your
door, and announces in the sweetest voice
that he is introducing the Christian Fog
Horn, which he is ‘doing by means of valu-
able works of art, signal your boy to let the
bulldog loose. For he will open an oil-cloth
arrangement,and display two hideous, gaudy,
high colored pictures, which he will assure
you sell at retail for ten dollars, or rather
would sell at that price only the publishers of
the Fog Hm publish them, and they cannot
be had at any price except by subscribing to
that invaluable family paper. You can't get
the precious “works of art” for less than ten
dollars, but that you may be 'induced. to read
the Fog Born, a year, you can get that pa-
per and the “works of art,"—They are genu-
ine oil chromos,—.for three dollars! By the
time he gets through this oration set the dog
on him, and let the animal aldne till he gets
through with him. A dog trained to kill
chromo men is invaluable. For be it known
that these chromos as they are called, are the
meanest, cheapest, most infamous caricatures
of art ever palmed off upon the public.
They are worse if anything than the papers
that use them. The “works of art” that re-
tail‘ at ten dollars, cost just six cents apiece,
and that is all. They are common ‘litho-
graphs, printed in colors, and are printed in
this city by the million. Prang, of Boston,
makes chromos that are really fine, but they
sell at a high price, and never get into con-
nection with the Fog Horns. I say that the
chromos hawked about the country as premi-
ums for newspapers, cost only six cents each,
and you can buy them by the quantity for
even‘less than that. When the dodge was
not quite as well understood as now, some of
the religious papers run up enormous circula—
tions by their use. The woman who took
them was tolerably well pleased with them
till she found the same pictures on the walls
of 'all her neighbors, and then how many
thousands of them were quietly taken down
and consigned to the ash-barrel. Beware of
the chromo man this fall, for the advance
army are already in the field, the chromo
mills are running to their full capacity, and
the meek-faced young man is leaving the
city with the oil-cloth case under his arm.
TWEED ON, THE STAND.
An investigating committee had Tweed on
the stand, but they have not thus far got any-
thing new oiit of him. Everybody knew
that the city had been robbed of millions,
and they knew exactly who did it, and how
it was done. Tweed’s testimony, thus far,
is only valuable as a confession from the
leader of the thieves, with some minor par-
ticulars added. He may make some new
disclosures before they get through with him,
but it is doubtful. The old man keeps up
wonderfully well, and will, if he ever gets
out, make trauble for his enemies. He is
very bitter, and desires nothing so much as
to get a chance at those of his friends who
deserted him. He does not blame the citi-
zens, generally, for what has befallen him——
but to have shared the plunder with men and
then have them go back on him, angers him.
He says it was pleasant reading, when in
Sphin‘,‘ the denunciations of himself by men
who were his partners, and who Were living,
on the money they stole when with him.

Boss Tweed’s Little story,
The “Boss” is making it hot for certain
statesmen, in his running narrative of “how
it was done,” given before the New York
Board of Aldermen. - In his details given on
the 15th, he supplies the following interest-
ing reading among many other items:
Q. After the Legislature had placed the
Eower of auditing bills in the. hands of this
card of Auditors—yourself, Mayor Hall
and Connolly,———did' you three have an under-
standing as to how you were to make money
out of that legislation? A. Yes, sir; the un-
derstanding was that parties in whom we had
confidence should present bills for work pur-
orting to have been done for the county and
city—more particular for the county—and
that they should receive only fifty per cent.
of the amounts of their bills; m‘y supposi-
tion was that there was to be some basis, no
matter how slight it might be. for each bill.
AN INTERESTING DUO.
Mr. Connolly had in his office a very confi-
dential man at that time—Mr: Watson—who
also had my confidence; I had done a great
deal of business with him; Mr. Woodward
was in the olficc of the Board of Supervisors;
he was an active, energetic man, whose faith
no one doubted, and 1 proposed that Watson
and Woodward should prepare the bills and
present them and the county should pay
them; that was agreed upon; the instruc—
tions given to both these men were that they
should go on and introducethe hills and after
they were paid that fifty per cent. should be
deducted from the amount and the balance-
paid to those who presented them; ten per
cent. of the money deducted should go to
me, ten per cent. to James M. Sweeny for.
Peter B. Swecny, ten per centt‘o Hugh Smith
for Oakey Hall, and ten to Connolly; of the
other ten per cent. five per cent. was to be
retained by Woodward and Watson for their
services, and the remaining five per cent.
was to be put away as a sinking fund fer oth-
er expenses as they might arise ; Woodward,
was a man of cosiderable wealth,and Watson
was to hold the fund; I think the under-
standing was that I was to approve the bills,
as Chairman of the Committee of the Board
of Supervisgrs ; shortly after this understand-
ing Woodward brought me a lot of bills, on
the back of which I wrote my name, with
“Ch."—chairman; -he also brought with
those a certificate to be signed by the Board
of Auditors; those I signed in blank—quite
anumber, and I signed a number of hills,
after which “approved" and “correct” were
written upon them; on some of them I wrote
those words myself, then theyhad to be sign-
ed by the Mayor and Comptroller. ’
After the payment of the first three or four
bills, Woodward came to me and said Con-
nolly was not satisfied with ten per cent. and
wanted twent ; he insisted upon that pro-
portion, and Voodward said, "Well, these
people have got to be satisfied with less
money; they have done nothing for it, and
I think they would be satisfied with one—third
instead of one-half ;” told him to
go on and make the arrangement 'to give
onnolly twenty per cent., myself twenty
five and Sweeny tea, making fifty-five per
cent.; then he said: “If you 've Mr. Hall
ten per cent. where will we ( oodward and
Watson) be ?” it was finally arranged that;
Woodward and Watson should receive two
and-a half per cent. each, and Hall only five
per cent., the ten per cent. thus gained to be
given to Connolly to make up his twenty
per cent. Hall was to be told that the ex-
penses‘of doing the business were so great
that the percentages had to be reduced. I
never had any conversation about the matter
after that, except that one time Hall‘ said to
me, “Your people are very slow, aren’t they,
in settling up matters 1’” I made inquiries
and found there were some bills on which
Mr. Hall’s percentage had not.been paid. I
had the matter attended to, and after that I
heard no complaints. Mr. Hall did not men-
tion his percentage, but I found he. was not
paid his share of ’a little bill of Garvey’s, and
so he was holding back on the signing of the
bills. . . ,,
ma nonnans CONSULT.
About the time the Tax Levy .was under
consideration, Hall, Sweeny, Connolly and
myself met in one of Mr. Sweeny’s rooms at
the Delavan House, and agreed to take each
of us ten per cent: of the money, allow the
young men (Watson and Woodward) five per
cent. for their services, and keep the remain-
ing five per cent. for a reserve fund‘ in the
hands of Woodward, Woodward represent-
ed me; James M. Swecny or Hugh Smith,
as the case might be, represented Peter B.
Slweeny, and Mr. Smith represented Mr. Hall
a so. - , .
Q. Who presented these bogus bills? A.
James H. Ingersoll was the permanent busi-
ness man working outside, as I understood,
and Garvey was one and Keyser was one;
pretty much everybody that drew money out
under that order understood the arrangement
:ng paid; I think I could safely say every-
0 y.)i .
Q. Will you state what members of the
Senate you paid money to for the purpose of
influencmg their action with regard to the
charter of 1870 ?‘ . A. I paid' out money my-
self personally to influence members of the
Legislature; a great deal of it I paid through
A. D. Barber, of Albany, who did a good
deal of business in that line, I paid him
money'specifically for bribing members of
the legislature to pass that bill; I have no
idea how much money I paid to him in that-
connection—probably as much as $600,000;
that I paid over to him in money, except
that after the session was over there Were
some $40,000 or $50,000 required and I gave
came back to me indorsed; I think it was
for $36,000—the balance after the work done
—-lll Albany, during the Winter. . I paid Sen-
ator Winslow $200,000 to be divided between
fpur. The money was furnished by the va-
rious tradesmen and ourselves—Connolly,
myself, Hugh Smith——who represented at
times Sweeny and at times Hall, and various
tradesmen; lngersoll, Garvey, Keyser d7 Co.
E. A. Woodward, James Watson, Vibbard,
Edward Boyle, Edward Mariner—I can’t re
collect the names-almost everybody who
had dealings with us.' With regard to Sena-
tor Minnicr, I had several conversations with
him ; him he said to me: “A man ought to
have a good farm for helping you folks in
New York with your charter; you are all
getting rich ;" I told him I would give him
$10,000 ; he tried to get $50,000, and finally
accepted $40,000.
I furnished some democrats with places
for their friends in the municipal depart-
ments, where they had nothing to do but
draw their money once a month; Mr. Samu-
el A. Frost was one of those I did this for;
I agreed to do that and he agreed to vote for
my bill; there were fifty or sixty like that;
Senator Michael Norton 1 a reed to help in
his business matters in New ork, and some
business arrangement was made with Thomas
J. Creamer; Senator Caldwell, I gave a place
to his partner, Mr. Whitney, at no less than
$20,000 a year; if it was worth less' than
that amount I was to make it up to him; I
got him a place as deputy collector at fifteen
thousand and - some hundreds of dollars a
year. William M. Graham—I gave him
money; I recollect that; I was giving him
money all the time; Elwood I gave money
t0,'lf_ not for that for some other service;
William H. Brand I gave money to: I asked
Woodin after .I had given the money to
Winslow for him, if the arrangement was all
right and he said it was. A. B. Harpending
I ve money to, and also to James Wood.-
hen it did pass every republican voted for
it except Thayer, and every democrat except
Genet; I paid some other Senators. In fact
I paid about everybody something or other.

Hard Up 1
Money is not so plcntyin Tammany Hall
as it once was, for reasons which it might
hurt somebody’s feelings‘to particularly set
forth. The expenses of Tammany Hall, we
are assured by its chieftains, big and little,
are this year unusually large. Wherefore
Messrs. John Kelly, Schell,Gumbleton & Co.
have issued, what truth compels us to call a
begging circular, after the manner of thdse'
confidence men who somethes get into the
police courts. Cash is needed to provide halt
lots, bills, boxes, and—meal The last ad-
mission is‘certainly a candid one. We" only
wish that it had been stated how many men
are wanted, and what they cost per head.
Money, morever, is needed for defiayiiig
“the entire cost’of naruralizing for the coun-
ty,” i. e., of making United States citizens,“
who, besides taking the oath of allegiance.
will privately swear to. vote the Democratic
'ticket. There is a' pressing necessity for.
raising immediate funds, and “eminent mem-
bers of the party" are .besought to come
down with the dust, as well as those “riot
heretofore identified with the local -c'ourity
organizations.” The trustworthy John D.
Newman, the authorized collector of the
committee, will wait upon the eminent citi-
zens personally, and receive their donations.
This will be embarrassing. -If it were amere
matter of sending the amount of. any sub-
scription to the Finance COmmittee, the dis-
inclined might dodge; but they cannot dpdge'
Mr. John D. Newman. He will wall: upOu
them personally—the polite man—and he
will supplement this attention by telling them ,
how much they are expected to give. Such
are the penalties which “eminence" mdst.

you want money, why not steal it in the old:
fashioned, economicalway ?” There are oth-
ers who might indignantlycry, as they bui-
toned up their breaches-pockets: “This Tam-
many of yours has brought us all into disrc-
pute. It has encouraged peculation; it his

cared for the interests of the Democratic par-

sick of its domination and ashamed of its bold
character—mud, in consideration of all their
dubious services, you sent Mr. Newman, to

Famous Automata.
' N0 automaton or deception everhad such a
success as the automaton chess-player, which
for more than half a century astonished and
.delighted the whole of Europe. The chess-
,player was constructed in 1769 by Van Kem-
It was exhibited to thousands in Presburg,
Vienna, and Paris, immediately afterits com-
pletion. In 1783—’84 it was exhibited in Lon-
don and other parts of England; After this
‘it seems to have fallen out of repair. In
1810 Maelzel, the mechanician, overhauled it,
and exhibited it in Great Britain in that and
the following year, where “it excited," says
Sir David Brewster, “as intense an interest
as when it was first produced in Germany.”
The chess-player was a life-sized figure,
clothed in aTurkish dress, and seated behind
a large chest or box—somewhat resembling a
library-desk—threcand ahalf .feet long, two’
feet deep, and two and a half feet high. The
machine ran on casters. The chess player
sat on a chair filled to the square chest ;. his
right arm rested on the table, and in the left
he held a“ pipe, which was removed during
the game, as it was with that hand that he
made the moves. A chess-board, eighteen
inches sqiiare and bcaringthe usual number
of pieces, was placed before the figure. The
exhibitor then unlocked four doors, two in
the front and two in the back of the chest,
and held a lighted'candle at the opening by
which to exhibit the machinery, which con-
sisted of levers, Wheelacyllnders, and pin--
ions. The figure was also examined, and out‘
of a drawer at the bottom and front of the
chest 'a' small‘ box 'of‘ counters, a' sc'tof chess-
men. and a cushion for the au'to'maton’s arm,
were taken. All the doors and drawers were
then closed and locked—the spectators hav-
ing satisfied themselves that. there was no:
place for a cencealed person—the exhibitor
busied himself in adjusting the mechanism
from behind the chest,- removed the pipe
from the figure’s hand, and Wound up‘ the
for play, Which began as soon as. opponent
was found in the audience. The automaton
took the first move in all'~cases. , “At every
move made by'the 'autor'naton the wheels of
the‘machin'e are‘ heard in action; the figure
moves its. head, and seems to look over every
part of the chess-board. When it gives check
to its opponent it shakes its head -thrice, and
only twice when it‘ checks .the queen. It
likewise shakes its head when a- false .move‘
is made, replaces it’s adversary’s piece on the
square from which it 'was taken, and ' takes
the next move itself. In general, though not
always, the automaton’wins the game. .Dur-
ing the progress of the game the eiihibitor
stands near the machine, and winds'it up-
like a clock after it has made ten or twelve
moves.‘ At" other times he went to a corner
of the room, as if to consult 'a small, square
’box which stood open for this purpose.”
Psycho, the whist-player,has net improved
,much upon the automaton chess-player in-
vented more than a hundred years ago. Van
Kempelen never pretended that the automa-
ton really played the game. On the other
hand, he distinctly said that the effects of
the machine “appeared so marvelous only
from the boldness of the conception, and the‘
fortunate choice of the methods adopted for
illusion.” j There is now little doubt that a
person was contained in i the 3 chest
who really. played the game of chess, and
itbat the ostentatious exhibition of machinery
vvas simply to throw the spectator off his
guard. . 5
We have no space to describe Babbage’s
calculating-machine and Jeven’s logical ma-
chine; but, before leaving this entertaining
subject, it may not be in appropriate to add
that automatic constructions are not as use-
lessas theyiseem. As Sir David Brewster
well says: ‘.‘The' elements of the tumbling
puppets were revived in the chronometer,
and the shap‘eless wheel which directed the
to guide the movements of the tambouring-
engine. Those mechanical wonders which
in one century enriched only the conjurcr
who used them, contributed in another to
augment the wealth of the nation ; and those
automatic toys which once amused the vulgar
are now employed in extending the power
and promoting the civilization of our spe-
cies.”-From Appleton’a Journal for Septem-

—The New Lexington Herald says :——In Mil-
,lertowu, on Thursday evening, about. ten
o'clock, the women assembled en masse,
about twenty-five or thirty in number, armed
with axes, and marched down upon the .m-
ed premises in full force. To crush the cor
was but the work of a moment ; ‘ a few well
dealt blows by some of the more resolute la-
dies reduced it to splinters. Then the crowd
rushed in, axes _in hand, and began the work
of demolition. Inless than five minutes the
Weather-boarding was knocked off, as high up
as they could reach; bar, bar. fixtures; glas
ses, jars, bottles, jugs, demijohns, andi kegs
were reducedto a mass of rubbish, and the
contents deluged the floor. ' While this work
.Wasigoingon', the little band was surrounded
.‘ byaboutfifty men-our best citizens—whohad
followed theirwives, sweethearts, and sisters
to within about fifty feet of the scene“ of ac-
tion, and there they stood as a wall of- pro-
tection around them. Having completed
their work,.the ladies shouldered their axes
and marchedoi! in good order, singing:
We'll hoist our flag and on to victory ;
The right 'shail win the day.

ruin any‘city in the wall that becomes a
great city. . For, as a city becomes populous,
the ratio of non-property owners to property
owners increases until the .foriner‘become the
more numerous bod . It is a body which,as
a rule, does not rea ize an interest in frugal
and economic administrat on,an‘d which, asa
rule, willchoose persons. of its own class to
administer upon the estates of others,upon
the communist principle of dividing the pro
crty of those who save among those Who on y
devour. It is among this class that demagogues
and covetous knaves who aspire to ofiicc will
always seek for votes and find them too. And
all experience proves that the public func-

Linimonts
One thing is now thoroughlyestablished. Never
since man suffered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went so far
as a pain annihilator and curative agent as the
Centaur Linimcnts. These Liniments have Within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, Still-joints, Cafid Breasts, Swellingsy
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals, eto., cts.,
than all other remedies combined. As the name of
Centaur implies half horse and half man, the Gen-
taur Liniments are for man and beast. But not the
same Linimcnt. The White Liniment is for man
and the Yellow for horses and animals. Herein
this Liniment diners from all other remedies, al-
though some of the ingredients are aike in each
They contain the well-known WitchIIazel, Arnica,
Carbolic, Rock Oil, Months. and other powerfn
ingredients.
Wm. H. llickcox, Rector of St. J ohn’s E. Church
Wakefield, Clay 00:, Kansas, writes: “Many years
I have been sutfering from a Weak Back, caused
from a sprain more than 40 years 0. I havenot
found any thing to relieve me unti I commenced
the use of Centaur Liniment. I feel it my Christ-
in duty to inform you that by its wonderful 'ef-
{eggs’ '1 am entirely relieved of pain. January 22,
e .
Messrs. J. McClure Jr Co,,Druggists, Cincinnati,
0., says :— _ ‘ ’
. “Teamsters pronounce the Yellow Centaur Lin-
iment superior to anything they ever used. We
sell several dozen bottles per month, and the‘sale
issteady increasing.”
These are only samples of thousands upon thou-
sands oi similar testimonials reaching us every
month. All the Extracts, Embrocations, Solves,
and Ointments in existence are not doing one-tenth
the good. which is done by these admirable Centaur
Liniments. For Frost-bites.‘Stings, Cuts, Itch,
Salt Rheum, etc., there is nothing like the Centaur
Llnlment White Wrapper. For Spavin, Ring-
bonc, Sweeney, Wind Calls, Poll-evil, Scratches,
equally good. . They are certain in their effects;
are cheap. No family should be without Centaur
Liniments. They are worth. one hundred times
their cost.

I, sitting in this easeful paradise
0f summer sunshine. and of myriad flowers;
Hear the glad birds; with drowsy, hall'-
_ closed eyes,
See the shades measure out the fleeting
hours; .
Watch'the gold-banded bee, on restless wing
Haunting the purple pea and migncnettc,
About their luscious sweetness fly and cling
As if his feet were caught in fairy net;
And know the insect, image of my thought,
Which now,from scented air and rural scene .
Is gathered 'sweets, since all with them is
fraught, .
To live on'when frost lies where warmth
has been.
Sweets, summer-gathered, serve for winter
food, , ‘
And hours like these feed aftervsolitude.

A Minnesota poet tunes his sounding lyre
to harvest notes and sings E
There’s music in the sough of the wind
There’s grace in the waving grain;
Broad acres atint with the Day God’s gold
In their ripening orifiamme.
Now, why couldn’t he go right on, without
racking his brain for new rhymes and sing:
Ready the reaperstands;‘he lists
The thresher’s clattering hum ;
And he, waves aloft in his‘brawny fists
The harvest orifium.
Here and there in the reckless world
Stocks go up and stocks go down,
' But care from his happy heart is hurled
By the sight of the orifioun.
And when at eve, at the set of sun,
Swiftly he hastens to his home;
His day is spent, his work is done,
And he has no use for an orifiomc.

A_ Vintage Song.
BY E. D. B. BIANCIARDI.
Once more the year its fullness pours
To cheer the heart of toil;
Once mor - e take with gratitude
The bleg'ng of the soil. ‘
I hear the children laugh and sing,—
They pull the grapes together; .
And gladness breathes from everything
In this October weather.
The winter days were long and dark,
The spring was slow—to come;
And summer storms brought fear and doubt
To many a humble home.
But rain and sunshine had their will
And wrought their work together‘
And see! we heap cur baskets still,
' In this october weather.
My heart has had its winter, too,
And lain full bare and gray;
I did not think a spring would come;
Much less a summer day.
How little did I dream that life.
Would bring us two together,
And I should be a happy wife
In this October weather.
Doubtless the frosts will come again,
And some sweet hopes must die;
But we shall bear the passing pain,
And smile as well 'as sigh ;——' -
, Nor let us cloud with fears of ill
This golden hour together;
' For God is in His garden still
In this October weather.

The Rev. Adirondack Murray preached in
Springfield on Sunday. His evening sermon
was on “The Religionof the Future.” He a1-
luded to the view held by some good people
that Christianity will ultimately give place to
some other religion,‘which willbe more help-
ful to the poor and ignorant in giving them
good homes, wholesome food, adequate and
economical medical attendance and inexpen-
sive burial. He then explained that the re-
ligion of the future would be c Christianity
that should do all these"things,2and that the
“theologs” on Andoverhill would be taught
how to minister to the sick people in city ter:-
ement houses, and that the New England
churches would learn that Christianity is not
' theology,,not‘ thinking and believing, but be-
ing anddoing good. , As for himself, he had
not consulted a commentary for six years’mor
looked into any book in preparing ‘his ser-
mons, but the Bible and dictionary for two
1 years and ahalf. .When the religiou of the
. future prevails, neither Rome nor Brooklyn
‘ will be considered as centers (of authority.
- At present we have better school houses than
tenements, more philosophical apparatus in
Boston. than bath-tubs, but the religion of the
future willfset all‘ratios right.

Says hackman to a' patron, pointing to a
cabby sitting on his box "near by, .“you. see
that man ? Well,- he attended his own funer-
al." “Not really,” exclaims the surprised
“I will tell how it was,’, contin-
ues the cabman. “That man complained not
' long ago to his wife of hard times, and said
he was going to drown himself. Now it
happened that on that very (luv 8 body re-
sembling his, was fished out of the river. As
he had not been heard of for three days,‘ the
family concluded he was dead. Now, ‘on the
' day of the funeral he was driving'his carriage
along a street, when he spies histvife and all
his relations following a hearse. ‘That’s sad,’
says he to himself, ‘there's my poor old aunt
who is being buried.’ So he joins in line.
As luck would have it, the aunt he thought
dead turns around and speaks to him. Then,
you see, these two dead people begin talking
to each other, and the procession stops. And
they tell me that a livelier funeral than that
never 'was seen."

Goo Not Dean—At one time I was sorely
vexed and tried by my own sinfulness, by the
wickedness of the world, and by the dangem
that beset the church. One morning I saw
my wife dressed in mourning. Surprised, I
asked her who had died._ “Do you not
know ?" she replied; ' “God in heaven. is
dear ." “How can you talk such‘ nonsense,
Katie ?” I said : “how can God» die ? Why,
he is immortal, and will live through all eter-
nity.” “Is that really true ?” she asked. ‘ Of
course,” I said still not perceiving what she
was aiming at; “how can you doubt it? As
surely as there is a God in heaven, so sure is
it that He can never die.” “And yet,” she
said, “though you do not doubt that, yet you.
are so hopeless and discouraged,” Then I ob-
served what a wise-woman‘my wife was. and
mastered my sadness—Luther. ’
