of Congressman who made a speech in
the House few days ago, that he was so
mad on finding it cut down to about doz-

he wrote to the editor Of New York pa
per, inclosibg copy of his speech in the
Globe, aud inquiring whether be wouldn't
do him the justice aud his readers the ia.
vor of publishing his argument entire.
In reply, be received note from the ad'
vertislng clerk, informing him that bis
speech would make SO many squares, which,
at SO much square, would come to SO
much, actually one thousand five hundred
dollars. The NJ. G. thinks the editor is q

AN ECCENTRIC PRAyER.-The late Rev
Samuel Fske once prayed in the pulpit that
1.-the Lord would bless the congregation
assembled, and that portion of it which
was on the way to church, and those who
were at home getting ready to come; and
that, in His iniuite patience, He would
grant the benediction to those who reached
The house of God just in time for that
BY this eccentric method the clergyman
succeeded in breaking up a bad habit which
had resisted all legitimate appeals.

WHILE THE DAYS ARE GOING BY.

There are lonely hearts to cherish
While the days are going by;
There are weary souls who perish
While the days are going by
lfa smile we can renew,
As our journey pursue,
Oh. the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.
There's no time for idle scorning
While the days going by /;
Let our face be like the morning
While the days are going by
Oh the world is full of sighs
Full of sad and weeping eyes
Help your fallen brother rise
While the days are going by,
All the loving links that bind us
While the days are going by
One by one we leave behind us
While the days are going by
But the seeds of good we sow,
Both in shade and shine will grow
And will keep our hearts aglow
While the days are going by.
BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.
Be kind to each other:
The nights coming on,
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone;
Then, midst our detection
How sweet to have earned
The bleSt recollection
OF Kindness returned
When day hath departed
And memory keeps
Her watch, broken hearted
Where all she loved sleeps
Let falsehood assail not
Nor envy disprove-
Let trifes prevail not
Against those ye love.
Nor change with tomorrow,
Should fortune take wing
But the deeper the sorrow
The closer still cling
Oh, be kind to each other
The nights coming on
When friends and when brother
Perchance may be gone

other passengers in one OF the York road rail-.
way cars The conductor in vited him to 90 to

always the privilege of riding. He insisted on
his right to remain in the car, but the con-
ductor, as also the other passengers, required
him 10 leave. He noted down the number of
the car and then departed. On the same night
James Williams, colored, appeared at the
ticket office of the Holiday Street Theatef and
asked for a ticket. The agent, on learning
from him that II was for himself, refused to
sell ticket He went out on the side ewalk and
acted in such adisorderly manner as to compel
Policeman Ray to conduct him to the Middle

an examination, the next morning committed
