have but attempted to carry out design which
has long been nurtured in the breasts OF
Clique, selfstyled the "codash aristocracy."
that design is to overthrow journal whose
independence of clique, and party, and set
whose outspoken boldness and answering
fidelity to the cause of the people have long
been thorn in their side. They have labored
long and zealously to traduce our private cha
racter; they now think that our independence
can be impaired by pecuniary losses. They
failed in the first scheme; for the louder they
clamored the larger became our popular sup
port. They will fail in the second; for the
greater the price we pay for freedom Of the
press the more shall we cherish it. We re-
ceived the right to tell the truth from our pre-
decessors, who obtained 1t from the people of
this commonwealth. We hold it now in trust,
as the leading journal Of this country, and it
shall not be violated or wrested from our grasp
60 long as we have life and means to defend it.
1t is not at all surprising that simultaneous
ly with the verdict iining US ten thousand dol
lars for telling the truth about Mr.. Fry's opera
an attempt should have been made to crush
freedom Of speech in this city. Liberty of the
press and liberty of speech are notifications
of the same principle-the enemies Of the one
naturally desire to suppress the other. Ac-
cordingly while the jury were condemning us,
the police Of this city, under orders from the
constituted authorities, were arresting the Rev.
Mr.. Parsons for preaching Protestant doctrine
in private enclosure in this city. Mr.. Parsons
had done no wrong, committed no crime; the
only ground for his arrest was an apprehen-
sion that some turbulent men who differed from
him in opinion might create disturb
ance; and to prevent their rioting he
was, arrested Immediately afterwards an
archi-episcopal rescript, published elsewhere)
issuee from Archbishop Hughes, giving general
directions to the Catholics Of this city ON the sub
ject ef their conduct and demeanor. His Grace
certainly advises them to avoid street-preachers;
but it is impossible not to see that the whole
tene- of his resccipt conveys direct disappro-
val Of the liberty Of speech claimed by Mr..
Parsons and assured to us all by the constitu-
ton 1t is very unusual in this free country
where all religions are alike, and where no
civil authority whatever is entrusted to the
clergy for controversialist to be arrested, or
on ecclesiastic to assume the temporal power
OF potentate, pope. or popular chief
Taken in conjunction with the Fry verdict,
these events seem to us omnous symptoms Of q
growing tyranny in our midst. We shall resist
them from the outset; and it behoves all who
value the noblest blessing we enjoy to stand
up manfully by our side.

Hours of Strength and Times of Weakness.


Every man who has any just conception of life,-
who believes that time derives its vital significance
from its nseperable relation to eternity that the chief
end of man is not to serve his usts reveling amid
pleasures that turn TO ashes as they and go -
every earnest and true man has perfect Ideal Life
before him, perfect conception of what he would
and should be, after which ideal conception he con-
stantly aims.
When this Ideal is throned in the soul, as Living
Presence, constructed mpersoration of what we
would like to bet is then easy to be heroic. We
have a conquerng hero in the soul whose valor is
transferred to us. We walk in the strength of our
Pattern Man. Jesus is with us of truth. What
works he did we can do when He is with us The
vision of the soul is then uncouded. Duty is plain
doubts are solved fears are quelled and languid IT.
resolution is schooed into executive force. There
are times of moral strength in the history of the SOU
which after all Lifes ''toH and endedror' is the true
history Of the man Where he sleeps and how he
lives as an animal, is insignificant question ant
significant only as the body has intimate relation
to the soul.
But alas for us, we are not always the mount
of vision not always to walk ubilant in exalted trus
and conquering strength. The hour OF weakness
comes to all Even Jesus cried in agony, "My God
my God, why has thou forsaken me - The weak
ness of the soul in that hour of desertion more
than the bodily crucifxon-t was the tearing asunde
of The Soul and The Spirit-the parting of Father am
! Son
| In our times of weakness we either lose sight O
Jesus, our Pattern Man, overcome by tn
alarming contrast between the Ideal and poor Ac
tual, that all effort unavailing, and for Will
the light of faith in the soul is turned to darkness
and former effort degenerates into stless indifference
or outbreaking sin.
What sea of calm and of storm, what world o
lights and of shadows is the history of one earnest
struggling human soul, painting after the true goal
thwarted here and there-mounting one moment u
heaven in ecstatic joy, punging to Hades the next
in the silence and gloom of the grave.
Thanks to Him who by personal daring and brave
ry, by right good will and manly Christian endeavor
shall do aught to lift poor soul from this gloon
and doubt, and shadow of death, and thus help it on
ward in a truer, Divner Life. He is Redeemer
and blessings be on him, if his head be crowned wit
thoms. ii. p. C..

DEVOTION

DEVOTION.
1t is not in the crowded hall.
Where the loud organs anthems roll
That the pure spell alone may fall
Which wakes devotion in the soul;
Not where the prayer is loud and long,
Nor where the labored sermons said
Unto proud, imperous throng,
Where not one heartfelt tear is shed.
Not where, with artless look, we hang
About some boisterous Preachers train,
Of whom Fame's voiceful clarion rang
/ Till echoing praise came back again, -
WHO st,ins the ear with studied tone,
And plays with metaphor aud trope,
And, throned his hearers hearts upon,
Grows mighty in his pride and hope,
But lis beneath the glorious sky,
In evenings hushed and holy hour,
As the light winds so whispering by
To humble bud and folded flower;
When, i'll the vast infntude,
That spreads the slumbering earth above,
The stars, with eoquence imbued,
Burn to the omniscient God of Love.
And when the morn comes forth in light,
With sounds and scents, most joy and bliss,
When earth is fair and heaven is bright,
Unrobed in gorgeous lOveliness.
Then, like the birds that play in air
On gladstone and unquiet wings
The spirit, reused by scenes so fair,
Upward in high devotion springs.
Nature! within thy boundless range,
Lies the religion of the soul;
1t comes with magic sweet and strange,
Unfettered, and beyond control;
And gazing through thy vast domain,
bliss untold to is given-
1t checks the passions stormy reign,
And soothes the breast with peace of heaven

SPECIAL MANURE FOR GRAPEs.-The wine commit

Society, reported that of two specimens of wine one
from grapes to which special manuring of potash had
been given, the wine from the MANFRED grapes was
"bright, clear, and mellow, like an old wine" The
other was declared to be less matured in all its quail

Was It the chimQJ,f a tiny bell,

ing beautiful and melodous stanzas are real poetry
without waste word -
Was it the chimst # tiny bell,
That sweet to my dreaming ear
Like the svery tones of fairy shell
That winds on the beach, so mellow and clear,
When the Winds and the waves lie together asleep,
And the moon and the fairy watching the deep,
She, dispensing her silvcry light,
And he, his notes as silvery quite,
While the boatman listens and ships his oar,
To catch the music that comes from the shore?
Hark the notes, on my ear that play,
Are set to words as they float they say,
Passing away passing away"
But no it was not fairy's she'll
Blown on the beach, SO mellow and clear;
Nor was it the tongue Of a silver bell,
Striking the hour that filled my ear,
AS lay in my dream; yet it was chime
That told of the flow of the stream Of time,
For n beautiful clock from the ceiling hung,
And plump little girl from pendulum swung,
LAS you've sometimes seen in a little ring
hat hangs in his cage canary bird swingO
And she held in her bosom budding bnquet,
And as she enjoyed it, she seemed to say
Passing away passing away"
