Influence of The Press.
VIEWS OF A BALTIMORE CLERGYMAN

In sermon on Thanksgiving Day, by the
Rev. Mr.. Leaken, rector of Trinity lEpiscopaD
Church, Baltimore, he said:
shall reserve the remainder of my remarks
to subject which is rarely alluded to in the
pulpit, but which is exercising most impor-
tant influence upon every State, city, village,
county, aud family of our Union. refer to
the press--the newspaper which, from the
smallest beginning, luxury to the favored
few, has become Indispensable to millions, and
whose power in forming public sentiment is
unreasonable.
To illustrate remotely the influence Of this
power, suppose person of intelligence coming
to your family every morning. He informs
YOU of all that has occurred in your city, in
your country, in Europe or distant Asia. He
gathers the details Of each interesting event;
he attends each important meeting, and tells
YOU what was said and done. In rain and
tempest, in summer and winter, docs this per-
son pay you his daily visits; and not only
brings you information, but gives you his opin-
ion on each question that arises. Iu time he
becomes one of you he is identified with your
family, and the characters Of yourselfand those
around have been moulded BY this constant
contact.
But the newspaper does more. 1t brings
YOU an hundred different articles, besides adj
vertisements, 1t can be read at leisure. It,
information reaches children, and is read by
servants. 1t forms the subject Of conversation,
and plies its ceascless visits to your home, in
structive, entertaining and interesting to ALL
Have over-estimated the force of this mighty
engine? The French Encyclopedias helped
to produce the French revolution by mcaEs of
ponderous books reaching the learned few.
What increased influence must the modern
press exert, scattering its myriad thoughts
daily among the millions How n,ble the
ministry of the editor How vast his capacity
for good or evil He may enter the family
dailv and difIuse chccrfulness by his diversified
thoughts He may dry the tear OF sorrow,
animate the weary pilgrim to renewed exer-
tons. arrest the young man in his downward
career. and shield the humble and defenceless
AGAINST the invasion of power. Wehave pray
ed for the President Of the United States, and
for all in authority-for our Senate and Rep
res, natives in Congress assembled. And shall
we forget those who make our Presidents and
determine our representatives

A Short Love Story.

Single ladies cross the waters under thespe-
ciaI care of the captain Of the ship, and II
love affair occurs among the passengers, the
cantain is usually confdante of one or both
narties. A very fascinating young lady had
been placed under Captain Morgan's care, and
three Young gentlemen fell desperately in love
with her. They were all equally agreeable,
and the young lady was puzzled which one to
encourage. She asked the Captains advice:
"Come ON deck, ? he said, the first day it
Is perfectly calm. The gentlemen will, OF
course. be near you. / shall have boat low
cred down, and do you jump overheard, aud
see which of the gentlemen will jump after you
| will take care Of you"
A calm day soon came. and the captain
srocestions were followed, and two Of the To-
vcrs Jumped after the lady at an instant. But
be+ween these the lady could not decide, 50 E.
oual had been their devotion. She again con-
suited the captain, who replied:

most sensible fellow, and viii make the best

POETICAL.
An Exquisite Ballad.

The very beautiful verses which are subjoincd
have been going the rounds of the press" for ses-
eral years and on their travels many bunders have
crept into them, sadly marring the poets meaning.
The verses were written by "Joc Brennan" one Of
the most gifted of the many gifted young lrishmcn
who assumed to lead the revolution OF lsis
Come to me- darling. I'm lonely without thee.
Day time and night time I'm dreaming about thee; ;
Night time and dav time in dreams behold thee,
Unwecome the waking that ceases to fold thee;
Come to me, darling, my sorrows to tighten;
Come in thy beauty to bless and to brighten;
Come in thy womanhood meckly and lowly;
Come in thy lovingness, queenly and holy.
Swallows shall fit round the desolatc ruin,
Telling of spring and its joyous renewing;
And thoughts of thy love and its manifest treasure
Are circlng my heart with the promise of nl asure
Oh Spring of my spirit. oh! May OF m! o,,s"ni'
Shine out on my soul till il brighten and blossom;
The waste of my life has rose root within it,
And thy fondness alone to the sunlight can win IT,
Figure which moves like a song through the even,
Features lit up with reflex ofheayen.
Ewes like the skies of poor Erin, our mother,
Where sunshine and shadows are chasing each other;
Smiles coming seldom, but childlikc and simple,
And opening their eyes from the heart OF dimplc;
Oh, thanks to the Savior that even the seeming
Is left to the exile TO brighten his dreaming.
You have been glad when you knew was gladden'd;
Dear, are you sad to hear am saddenedf
Our hearts ever answer in tune and IN time, love,
As octave to octave, or rhyme unto rhyme, love;
cannot smile, but your cheeks will be glowing;
You cannot weep, but my tears will be flowing;
You will not linger when shall have died, lovej
| could not live without you BY my side, love.
Come to me, darling, ere die Of my sorrow,
Rise on my gloom like the sun of Tomorrow,
Strong, swift and fond as the words which lspeak,
love, afi
With song at your lip, and smile on your cheek,
love;
Come, for my heart in your absence is drcaryj
Haste, for my spirit is sickened and weary;
Come to the arms which alone shall caress thee
Come to the heart which is throbbing to press thee

A Yankee Trade

a certain farmer, who in the course Of year
purchased several dollars worth Of goods land
always paid for them,D called at the store of
village merchandise regular place Of dealing
with two dozen brooms, which he offered for
sale. The merchant twho, by the way, fond
of a good bargain1 examined his stock, and
said:
We'll, Cyrus, will give you shilling a.
piece for these brooms."
Cyrus seemed astonished OF the offer, and
quickly replied:
"Oh, no, John, I can't begin to takc that
for EN-, no how; but I'll let you have EN- for
twenty cents apiece, and not cent less.
"Cyrus, you are crazy" replied john
"Why, see here" showing fine lot Of brooms,
" is an article great deal better than yours
(which was true,) which am retailing at
twelve and half cents apiece (which was not
true by seven and half cents.l
Don't care for that" answered Cyrus -
"your brooms are cheap enough, but you cant
have mine for less than twenty cents anyhow"
and pretending to be more than half angry,
shonldered his brooms and started for the door,
The merchant, getting nervous over the pro-
bable loss Of good customer, and fearing that
he might 60 to another store, andnever return,
said:
"Scc here, Cyrus, hold on while. If I
give you twenty cents for your brooms, sup
pose you will not object to take the prico Of
them out in goods :"
"No, don't care if do" replied Cyrus.
"well then" said the merchant, as you
are an old customer, will allow you twenty
cents apiece for this lot. Let me scc--twcnty
times twenty-four makes just four hundred and
eighty cents. What kind Of goods will you
have, Cyrus?"
'tWell, now, John, guess it don't make any
difference to you what sort Of goods take.
docs it?
aOh, no, not at all---nos at ALL" said The
merchant.
"Well, then, as it don'tmake any difference.
Twill take the amount in them brooms oil yours.
at twelve and half cents piece! Let mo
see-four dollars and eighty cents will get thir-
ty brooms, and ten cents over. 1t don't mako
much difference, John, about the ten cents, but
as you are right clever fellow, | believe III
take the change in terbacker."
When Cyrus went out Of the door with his
brooms and terbacker," John was seized with
a serious breaking out at the mouth, during
which time he was distinctly heard to violate
the third commandment several times BY tho
bystanders, who all enjoyed the joke.

A Sharp Clergyman.

Emigration to the State Of Michigan was 50
great during the years 1896 and 1886, thas
every house was filled every night with trav-
clers wanting lodging. Every traveller thcro
at that time will remember the difficulty Of
obtaining bed in the hotels, even if he had
two or three 50 strange bcd-feliows.' The Rev.
Hosea Brown. an eccentric Methodist minister.
stopped ono night at oneof the hotels in Ann
Harbor, and inquired il he could have a room
and bed TO himself The bar keeper told him
he could unless they should become so full as
to render it necessary to put another in with
him. At an early hour the reverend gentle
man went to his room, locked the door, retired
to his bed and sunk into comfortable sleep.
Along toward midnight he was reused from
his slumbers by loud knocking at his door.
Halo you there" be exclaimed, what
do you want norF" particular stress on the
last word.
"You must take another lodscr, sir, in with
you:' said the voice Of the landlord
"Whatl another yet r.
"Why, yes, there's only ono in there
"One! why here is Mr.. Brown, and a Mesbo-
dist preacher, and myself, already, and | should
think that enough for one bed, even in Michi-
gan"
The landlord seemed 70 think -: too, and

The Negro Suffrage Bill.

II is stated that the most radical of the mem
bers in caucus at Washington lately begin to
doubt success with bill granting indiscrimi-
nate suffrage to negroes of the District of Col
umbia. They begin to understand that Presi-
dent johnson has some regard for the SEN
timents of the people, and will not sign bill
unless it provides for rational experiment,
not a blind partisan measure.
A writer to Northern paper states that
Thad. Stevens was so disgusted when the House
caucus voted to put the reading and writing
clause into the District suffrage bill, that, after
denouncing the act as ridiculous sacrifice Of
principle he left the caucus.
