Sdch was the burden Of his speech,

TIE POpE'S INFALLIBILITY.

The following Is the printed scheme
of the infallibility Of the Pope-whch
has been distributed:
I. If any one should say the epis-
copal chair Of the Roman Church is
not the true and real iniallible chair of
blessed Peter, or that it has not been
divincly chosen by God as the most
solid, indcfectible and incorruptible
rock of the whole Christian Church
let him be an anathema.
III. Ii any one should say that there
exists in the wo-ld another infallible
chair OF the truth of the gospel OF
Christ our Lord, distinct and separate
from the chair of blessed Peter, let
him be anathema.
III. If any one should deny that
the divine nto.jisteriun1 OF the chair of
blessed Peter II necessary 10 the true
way Of eternal salvation for all men,
whether unfaithful or faithful, whether
Iaym II or bishope, let him be ana
thema.
~. II any one should say that each
Roman Pontifi, legitimately elected,
is not by Divine right the successor OF
blessed Peter, even in the gift OF the
infalibility of mdyisteriUD,. and should
deny to- any one of them the preroga-
tive Of infalibiity for teaching the
Church the Word OF God pure from
all corruption and error, let him he
anathema.
V. If any one should say that gem
eral councils are established by God in
the Church as "A power of feeding the
Divine flock in the word OF faith su-
perior to the Roman Pontiff, or equal
TO him, or necessary by Divine insti-
tuition in order that the mdjisteriuDi of
the Roman Bishop should be preserved
infallible, let him DC anatema.

FEES AND SALARIES.

Every tax payer Is interested i'm
having the public affairs administered
with the least possible expense con-
sistent with fair and honest service.
We should have just as many officers
as necessity requires, aud their duties
should be performed for about the
same compensation an individual
would would have To pay for similar
labor. When the emoluments Of au
officer exceed the limits of fair COM
pensation, they invariably beget n
vicious class who give thir whole lives
to the business of Office seeking. This
is now one of the worst and expensive
evils OF our system of government.
BY provision of the Constitution Of
Indiana, laws are required 10 be uni
form in their operation throughout the
State. So, that when the rate Of fees
or allowances 10 an officer are fixed
10y statute, il must be the same In the
most populous rs in the most sparsely
settled county of the State. Here is
the fountain and origin of the encr-
nous profits which attach to the
offices in our large counties. We sup
pose no one objects TO the pay Of our
salaried officers. We can not now re-
call single one of these ian which the
salary is not niggardly and mean.
We pay our Governor and Judges.
officers who have To bring TO their
posts talents and requirements OF
a high order, less than We do our
Clerks, Treasurers, Auditors aud Sher-
ifs. The first class receives too little,
and the second too much. All that Is
paid above just compensation for the
services and responsibility of an officer
comes from the pockets Of the people,
and goes to the pockets of the few who
get Office. Legislation can be so framed
as to get rid of the evil. A general
lowering of the rate of fees will not do,
for this would give the smaller coun-
ties too little, and would not reach the
evil. In our opinion, the only practi-
cable method OF remedying IL would
be law abollshing the whole system
of fees and allowances, and substitu-
ting salaries for all offices. The costs
made by litiyants could be collected
and paid directly into the county
treasury.
Another useless and expensive evil
of our system grows out of the COM
plex methods Of assessing and collect
ing taxes. Can any man give rea-
son why the State, county and muni-
cipal taxes should not be levied, COL
lected and disbursed by one set Of
officers instead of two? In other
States this Is done. Here we have
City Assessors aud Township Assess
sors, City Auditors and County Audi
tors, City tax duplicates and County
tax duplicates, when 1t il plain that
one set of officers can perform the
duties Of both at little more than one
half the present expense.
This is no party question, as burden
some taxation bears rs heavily upon "A
Democrat as a Republican, and wc
trust that in q matter which interests
us all, we can unite our efforts to Sc
cure legislation which will bring about
a acknowledgement Jo,unot.

IN TIE MORNING.
BY EMTLT T.. WHITING.

And with the dawn those angel faces smile
That have loved long since, aud lost hile.
In the quiet hush Of morning,
Ere the sunlit ht glsries TALL.
Cleaning. with their sunny radiance,
al along my chamber wall
Ere the day, with duties laden,
Comes to meet me all untried,
Come those angel formes around me,
Who from earth have turned aside
In the silence and the darkness,
can see their faces fair;
And their robes of snowy whiteness,
And their CLEANS OF shining hair;
can hear them whisper gently
AS they bend my pillow o'cr,
can catch the distant music,
Floating from the unseen shore.
One, who in her life's fair morning,
From carfh's cold and clcuded gray,
Turned to meet the golden dawning,
In the land of perfect day.
Who with pale hands folded lowly,
SIeepeth where the lilies blow,
From the realms so pure and holy,
Comes to meet me here below.
Tell us not our loved and lost ones,
Who have found the fairer shore,
Can forget us, sadly toiliDg,
And return TO us no more;
For the spirit world around us,
Lieth closer than we dream.
And gives purer thoughts, and nobler,
Daily felt, tho still unseen.
In the hours Of grief and sadness.
When dark shadows seem to fall,
Blank and hard across our pathway,
Like some grim and stony wall,
Unseen hsnds will gently lead us,
Unheard voices come TO cheer,
Loving eyes bend fondly o'er us,
And We lnow our lost are near.

And we only learn their presence,

When for us the golden dawning
OF the morn celestial breaks,
When for us the solemn shadows
Flee away and life awakes
To 'hat realm where all that's noble
In our natures shall expand.

FRED. FARLEY'S LOVE.

"Now mind, Fred.-you'l! be on
hand directly after the Fourth. II
any thing should happen to call me
away from home, Isabel, my wife
''Bella,r we call her-will entertain
ycu until return. want you 20 see
Bella; and she wants to see you. You'll
say l ought to be happy man. And
remember, You are to spend u month,
at least. o, we'll have rare sport"
81 shall be there if Pm alive, Harry
depend upon that; and if you suffer
yourself to be called away before i
come, and are not there to receive me,
| shall proceed at once to claim the
attention of your Isabel"
"All right, old fellow. You will be
warmly received, | can assure you.
Bella * anxious to see the old chum of
whom have told her so much.
Harry Lynde and Fred. Farley had
been friends from early youth-had
been chums mt college-and were now
as warmly attached TO each other rs
friends and brothers could be. They
were young-the first being four ard
twenty, and the other year
younger Harry had been married
six months, and had settled down in
n pleasant villa on the Hudson provi-
ded and furnished 10y his wife's father.
Fred had just come into possession Of
an ample fortune; and before going
into which was ali ready for
him in the shape Of a partnership in
heavy commercial house-he had
planned To enjoy n summer vacation
i'm country, and his first trip out
from the metropolis was To he rs we
have seen, To his chum's OH the Hud
son.
The Fourth of July came, and pass
el, and on the following Monday
Frel Farley made his way up the
river. He found the dwelling of his
friend-one of the most romantic and
delightfully."- situated villas he had ever
seen-and rs he entered the park he
asked the coachman if Mr.. Harry
Lynde was ut home.
No, sir. ale went away last Friday.
But he expected you, and told me
that the horses were to be at your
service.n
"And Mrs. Isabel Lynde, is she at
homes"
"Yes, strand think she will pro-
vide for you WELL"
Fred had playfully declared to his
friend that he hoped he should find
him gone upon bis arrival, that he
might claim the undivided attention
of Bella; but now that the prospect
was 50 near the verification, he felt
little bashful and uncomfortable. But
the coach was at the door, and he re-
solved to put on bold face, and meet
the lady without blushing or flincbing;
for he had no doubt that Harry had
repeated to her all his nousensical re-
marks.
"Mrs. Lynde, this is Mr.. Fred Far
ley" said the smart and afiable coach
man, as he led the way TO the piazza.
MIR. Farley-Mrs. Isabel Lynde."
Fred looked upon the woman who
looked upon the piazza TO welcome
him. Peris, and bouris, and sylphs,
and fairies. all lost caste in his esti-
nation from that moment. \ more
beautiful being he had never beheld.
And yet she was not one of the airy,
gossamer. made-up beauties, such as
he had seen in drawing rooms, but
substantial, wholesouled. frank-faced,
loveable woman, with whole volumes
of truth and poetry in the sweet sim
mer of her smile, and in the soft
liquid light of her large brown eyes.
