her famous diamonds among her
tresses and about her throat. With
a rare, sweet smile, and the maiden

descended and stole softly in. Nanc

With smile of perfect love and
trust she went straight up to him.

The Work Of Par,iau,em,.

We often hear great deal of complaint
about the slowness of Congress to pass pub
lie measures. But if we look at British Par
lament there seems to be state of things
very similar. 1t takes great while there as
well as here to get an important measure
through both houses, and this too notwith-
standing the fact that there is a responsible
leadership in Parliament which we do not
have in Congress. The two great measures
passed at this session of Parliament are the
Irish Land Bill and the Education Bill The
former was noticed some time ago. The lat
Ter which was finished only toward the close
OF the session gives England at last nation

population, the rate payers are to be sum-
moned to elect school board to supply the
deficiency by provididng new schools to be
controlled by them. The principle of minori-
ty representation by cumulative voting is in
troduced in the election of the board. Every
elector has right to vote for such number of
members as are required to constitute the
board or to fill up vacancies in it, but he NAV
concentrate all his votes upon one man or
otherwise distribute them as he sees fit. This
secures to all parties voice in the school
board. In these schools which will be sup
ported half by local taxation and half by
State funds, no religious creed or formula can
be taught, and the reading of the Bible "with-
out note or comment" is the only strictly re-

who do not wish their children to hear or
read the Bible can secure their absence DUR
ing the exercise.
Theoretically this method of introducing
religious instruction is entirely unobjectiona-
be, as the reception or rejection of it is en-
tirely voluntary. We believe there is not the
same recognition of religious liberty among
us. In this respect we are behind England.
Whether with our ideas of equality it
would prove satisfactory to allow parents to
secure the absence of their children during
the time spent in the reading of the Bible in
the morning, may be somewhat questionable.
But if the reading of the Bible is to be MAIN
tanned as at present in our schools, regard
for religious liberty requires some such regu-
lation here. This may come as near as any,
thing can, to suiting all parties.

published in the periodical called Casselps
Magazine. The object of this novel is to IL
lustrate the incredible infamous laws of mar
riage which prevail in the British empire,
more particularly in Ireland and Scotland and
which DR.. Moriarty, the Catholic Bishop of
Kerry, illustrated before the Royal Commits
sion on the subject by the following anecdote ::
"a Protestant farmer Che said) came to me
to to get leave to marry Catholic young
woman of the neighborhood. 1 told him
could not marry him; I had no power to marry
him. He then went and made an ALTERATION,
and was received into the Catholic Church,
and q very short time afterwards, before the
twelve months had passed, be was married.
q very imprudent thing to do. He spent the
turned her out of doors and the next place l.
met her at the door of the attorney, whom she
was going to employ to take proceedings
against him. told the poor young woman it
would be utterly useless-that she was not
married in la " and she is now living with her
father after having her fortune spent and after
having been maltreated by this fellow who
professed himself Catholic. and in a very
short time after wards went back again to the
Protestant Church"
1t seems difficult to believe that such a
state of things could be tolerated in any civil
lied land, and yet it is neither more nor less
than the law in these our days, and in this
greatly self-boasting empire.
