CHILDREN's IDEAS OF GoD.-That is 6
good story told of one of Mrs. Stowe.
children, which, having been taught that
it is sinful to be angry, and afterward:
reading in the Bible that God is angry with
the wicked every day, concluded that God
was no Christian.
We are reminded of several other anec-
dotes, quite as good, Illustrative of chill
dren's ideas of the Deity. A fair-haired,
sunny-eved boy we know, that inherits
from his parents-both fine poets, well
known in American lterature-a love for
all beautiful things, and is especially curl
Gus about flowers, being told one day who
makes them, appeared dissatisfied that
God should have but one name. "God? ?"'
he said; "God who?"
Another child we wot of sometimes OBJ
jects to saying his prayers. One night he
complained that he was tired, and wished
to know what use of prayers any way
His mother explained that God hears them,
and is pleased with little boys who say
them. "Well," said he, "can't God hear
me say Pm tired y
A lady friend tells us of a little nephew
and niece of hers, who, on the other hand,
are inclined to make any little act in their
innocent lives, matters of prayer. One
day little Willie, aged 5, having spilled
some hot water into his shoe, called lusti-
ly for his his sister to come and take it of.
Minnie did her best to unite the shoe-string
which was in hard knot and would not
come loose. Little Willie, suffering from
the burn, kept his patience as well as he
could, and finally said:
"Shall pray, Minnie!'
"Oh yes" said Minnie, spray, if it will
do any good"
"Then," said Willie, 10 bod, if you can
unite it any quicker than Minnie can, do"
We smile at these infantile ideas OF De.
ity; but are not the ideas of some grown
people on the same sebiect, quite as simpler

A Lesson for Suicidal Lovers.

Richard Gould, a journeyman harnes,
maker of Cincinnati, has himself been har
messed by Cupid and driven to the gate,
of desperation. His enslaver is young
lady, Charlotte Mathews, whose mother
keeps a boarding house on Elm Street, and
who appears to have made up her mind to
some more brilliant alliance than that of
fered by Mr.. Gould. But as Richard has
very good opinion of his own merits and
qualifications, he judged that Charlotte's
GOODNESS was mere coquetry, believing that,
when it came to the scratch, she would
cave in at a moments warning. He re-
solved to melt at once the soul of the play
full nynph, and to surprise her into an avow-
al of her zeal feelings. For this purpose
he proceeded, about 20 minutes past S
o'clock yesterday afternoon to the dwelling
of Mrs. Mathews, and stretched himself
out upon the front door steps, holding in
his hand an empty phial, upon which he
had pasted a label of "strychnine"
"Now there will be an affecting scene
when my captivating Charlotte comes OUT
soliloquised Mr.. Gould, as he closed his
eyes and composed his features to a corpse
like immobility. Presently Miss Mathews
appeared at the door with broom in her
hand, for the purpose of sweeping the
steps. On seeing the reeumbent Richard,
she uttered an exclamation of surprise, and
then tried to stir him mp with the broom
stick; but, finding that he did not move,
she called out, 'Mother, mother, here's
Dick Gould coiled up on our steps, and I
don't know what ails him." ''Dead drunk,
I guess" said Mrs. Mathews, as she also
came to the front door. "No, I'll declare
if he hasn't kicked the bucket iu reality"
said Charlotte, spying the bottle and tax
ing it out of Gould's hand. 'See here,
the fool has been taking strychnine p
"Poor SOUL" sighed the benevolent old la
dy; show natural he looks! He looks
about as well as he did when he was alive"
observed Charlotte, '.and that's not saying
much for his beauty. He never could hold
a candle to Jimmy Hickman at any time"
This Mr.. Hickman is spruce young clerk
who boards with Mrs Mathews, and who
happened to come home at that very june
ture. sF .-. -
When he saw the supposed corpse,
James Offered to go for the Coroner to hold
an inquest over the ''poor devil" as he call

swell, don't like the notion of having
coroner and jury fellows poking about here"
said Mrs. Mathews.
@No" added Charlotte, 'just drag the
nasty creature on the cellar door of the
next house, Jimmy, and then wash your
hands and come in to supper"
Mr.. Hickman took the corpse by the feet,
to do as lie was directed, when Gould dealt
him kick which doubled him up like
jack knife. The ladies shrieked, and MIR.
Gould, starting up, was beginning to up
braid Charlotte for her hardness of heart,
but the arrival of a policeman interrupted
his oratory, and he walked away ''sadder
and wiser man. Gin. Gaz.

DEATH FROM GRIEF.-About five weeks
ago, boy eight years of age was commit
ted for trial BY the Magistrates of Barns
lev, England, charged with stealing purse
containing sovereign, from the cart of an
old woman who had given him rifle as
she was driving to market. Bail was re-
fused, and the little fellow was sent to
Wakefield Jail. On the father parting
with the child, he took the matter so deep
ly to heart that he complained Immediate
ly after of having received sudden shock
at his heart-as if shot. Although in
good health at the time, and robust hear
ty man, he went home and never again
looked up. A deep seated melancholy
took possession of him; he was obliged to
give up work, and after few days was con-
fined to his bed. He gradually grew
worse, and on the day on which his child
was to be tried he breathed his last. The
surgeon who attended him says that he
died of broken heart. The boy was dis
charged.

The Golden Days of Youth.

What feeling of regret steals over the
heart, as the joyous days Of youth fit as
heaven-like dreams across our imagination,
to think that they are lost to US forever.
When the rare opportunity offers itself Of
snatching few moments for contemplation
from the tolls Of the busy world, how read
lily do we embrace it, brief though it be,
to indulge in the pleasing remembrance
Of the past, to compare it with the
present, and trust for bright realization
Of "things long sighted for" in the future !!
What a glorious thing is youth! full of
warm confidence, high hopes and glorious
feelings, flowing from the heart, like a
gush of music from angels harp. How
keen are its enjoyments, how exquisite its
appreciation of the moral and beautiful.
What music is there to compare with the
outpourings of youthful and generous
heart! What height is there for a youth
full heart, prompted by noble ambition,
impossible to climb9 But the transient
dream of youth soon fades away, and age
comes creeping on us so imperceptibly,
that we start and sigh for days now lost,
when we feel the icy hand upon US that
"comes to claim us for its own." With
time we begin to analyse our sensations,
examine the petals of the flower of our
youth, and let the odour escape, till, one by
one, the leaves fade and fall, and the
withered stem alone is left in the gazer's
hand.

DoNT TAKE OR READ THE PAPERs.-A
letter from Washington to the st. Louis
Republican says:
Much has peen said and written about
careless legislation in Congess, but case
has just come under my observation, exhib-
iting extraordinary carelessness on the part
of certain members in connection with the
interest of their constituents. 1t appears
that Charles Waldron, of Brooklyn, Guy
ahoga county Ohio, petitioned Congress
in 1912, for an allowance of SlS6,5O, for
corn, beef, ETC., furnished the United States
troops at Fort Defiance, in 1885 and 1886.
A bill was passed and approved January
8, 1916, for his relief. The petition was
again presented in 1856, when Mr.. Guth-
rie informed the member having charge Of
the case that a law had already been pass
ed for Waldron's benefit, and that the mon
ey would be paid him whenever he applied
or would notify the Department of his
post office. Strange to say, the same
member has again presented the same pc
tition for the same allowance, and although
the money has been appropriated for over
ten years, the claimant has never been no.
titled, and he is no doubt censuring Con-
gress for Withholding from him his Just de-
mand.

A CHICAGO YOUNG LADY FALLS HEIR

lady of this city who has hitherto followed
the humble vocation of sewing girl, and
whose name is Mary Schooley, received a
letter yesterday, from an uncle residing in
New York, stating that herself in connec-
ton with the writer of the letter, and an
other uncle, also residing in New York,
had fallen equal heirs to the comfortable
sum of 927,O0O,OOO, or about 81 35,o00,-
600, by the recent death Of an uncle at
Calcutta, India, where he had accumulat-
ed his immense fortune in mercantile pur-
suits. This story is current in our city, hu:
we will not, at present, vouch for its truth,
though we hope to have it fully confirmed.

A FAST CoNGREss.-There is not a
dollar subject to appropriation in the
Treasury Of the Uuited States, but this on
ly seems to stimulate the magnificent
schemes of the Administration. The ap-
preparations are very much like the nuncu-
pative will of the pauper, who bequeathed
magnificent estates to all the bystanders.
Senator Sidell has introduced bill to ap-
propriate thirty millions to be used by the
President in negotiating for Cuba. This
is intended merely for doceur to the
funkeys that wait on the approaches to
the Spanish throne. Senator Bigler pro-
poses three or four hundred millions as the
price; difference of hundred million, or
so being of no moment in the empty treas
ury. Z
Senator Mason has introduced project
to give the President the entire control Of
the army and navy during the adjournment
of Congress, with unlimited discretion in
dealing with the Spanish American Re-
publics, the nation being already in an
emergency where Dictation is the only
practicable relief-State Journal.
The fast Administration is so hard up
that it cannot pay contractors on the pub
lie buildings at Washington and elsewhere,
and with no prospect of resuming except
through the agency of fresh batch of
Treasury notes or another loan to be added
to the National debt the Administration
of Mr.. Buchanan has saddled upon the
country in time of profound peace with
foreign nations.

Roman Catholic ChapIains.

The New York Express letter says:
Mr.. Speaker Orr has just been catering
little to the Roman Catholic influence.
A resolution was passed two years ago in
viting the clergymen of tie city to officiate
alternately at the opening of the House
in the morning. The clergyman, generous
souls, accepted the proposition, and did so
oficiate last year. AS requested again
this year, all those who choose to accept
met together ard arranged their names in
an alphabetical list indicating the order
in which they would officiate. The list
was open to all. 1t was sent in to the
Honorable Speaker, and what do you think
he did? He struck from the list six of
the most eminent divines upon it, and
placed in their stead the names of sir
Roman Priests. l have my information
from good authority. The congregations
of the six repudiated clergymen are con-
siderably excited about it, and they are
the largest, wealthiest and most influential
churches in the District. Every Protest
ant clergyman on that list now, owes it to
his self respect, TO the dignity Of his mis-
sion, and the good of the cause, to refuse
to officiate.
