thought so, they could free themselves The
bstter way is to demonstrate that we have the
halter faith and the kndlier charities, till even
thew shall see and feel the fact. Let us open
our public schools to them, as fairly, freely,
fully, as we do our market houses, and then, If
the priests bar them of the benefit, let them
take the consequences. In like manner, give
every right and privilege, and remove every re-
straint, technical and actual, from the manage
ment of ecclesiastical property, as fairly for
them as for ourselves, and We shall have every
desired advantage that we can any way get in
the impending struggle. 1t will be recollected
that our proposition is to nullify the mischief
apprehended from the accumulation of wealth
in the hands of ecclesiastics by limiting all
churches whatsoever to such an amount of real
estate as shall serve for the necessary houses OF
worship and burying- grounds; rigidly forbid
ding the application of corporate property to
the maintenance of the notwithstanding, at
the same time that trustees, whether they
form corporations sole or aggregate, shall be
citizens of the United States, and putting them
under the ordinary power of the courts in such
cases and then we shall have nothing to fear
on this account IL Professionalism will not con-
sent to do this, it must take its chance against
the danger which its own selfshness induces
If any one answers This policy would Grip
pie the enterprises of the Church." we reply
IL is right; let it be done; religion can take
care of itself without an establishment and
never declines so fast as when 80 fostered
Just as the Good Being gives us this day our
daily bread, and does not encourage US to ask
for tomorrow so his religion in the hearts Of
men will furnish the current means of propa-
eating his truth. The church that distributes
the charities of hundred years ago has none
of it's own to dispense. Instead Of drawing
water fresh from the well of life, it is draining
the stagnant pools of the last rainy season
through its channels of dry sand
The more formal and complete discussion of
the main question under consideration will be
resumed, but we may wait to discern whether
our readers will expect or welcome it.
We have not room in our columns for every.
thing that everybody can say for and against
our proposition it and about it, PERTH
nent and compact criticism will be heartily
welcome; and, when next we strike, we will
try to hit the nail exactly on the head. E.

THANK GOD FOB POETRY.
BY MARY IRVING.

BY MARY IRVING.
Oh, God be praised for poetry It's balm
Is as the cool wave on the dizzy brow
OF the lost fainting traveller
Tonight
Nv heart was fainting on the dusty way
OF this strange, toilsome life. i was alore,
I thought, Save for one watching angels smile,
Sometimes too little heeded,) and the soul.
Though it be girded with its consciousness
OF right and destiny as with zone,
WI ache for human sympathy, wiH turn
Its clinging tendrils back to any prop
Save the one stay that beckons from the skeies
W ell when those props are rent away, cen though
The hearts hid agony convulse its core
Alone sat not dreaming, for the forms
That haunted happy hours, like joyous birds,
Shrink from the darkness to their deep hooks -
When, like messenger from holier air,
A dream. thought Of another, better heart,
Came nesting to my own.
My eyes were full
With the O'eraOwing sympathy of soul
never saw the face of her who wrote;
know not if her eyes be lit with love,
Or her lips wreathcd in smiling, that would win
A child quick, earnest commence, vi mihe'
I only know her heart has fathomed much
OF all the struggling suffering, and care,
That dig tho souls deep wells Of sympathy.
Heaven chasteneth whom it loyeth' Surely, then
Poets are best beloved Of all God gave
The breath of being unto Not chord
Is struck by any hand, that has not first
Shaken the bulwarks of the soul beneath
Tears gush from other eyes, and are BIT tears
But in the poets beloved orbs they CLEAN
Clear, magic crystals, mirroring world
Where cloud and sunbeam struggle ceaslessy
So the sweet poet words of gentleness
Sank down into my spirit, and ! woke
From the cold trance of inactivity,
Baptizing in fresh tears a new resolve
To tread the desert, though with bleeding feet
Hopefully till the hour for going home "
Thank God for poetry

fruit that first brought death into the world,
and all our woe ~ and all these suicides ana
murders are the offspring of similar transgres-

evil His answer to our complaints is, My
ways are equal, but yours are unequal" Our
clergy should reason of righteousness, temper
