And Mr.. Samuel Barnabce dropped
his two hundred and fifty pounds into
u chair, to blow awhile, after this out
burst Of complaints.
"Why, Samuel said Mrs. Barna-
bee, 81 think you are somewhat un-
reasonable. Or course John must not

"By-gracious! I'll try him on that

"Yes. told him this morning.

John Barnsbee was sauntering leis
urcly toward the house, unconscious OF
what his respected father was saying
about him, and sublimely indifferent.
With the utmost nonchalance he walked
into the room where his father was
sitting with swapping eyes and very
red face.
81 don't believe there's another hat

the iratc old gentleman, vexed that
John had the impudence to wear it in

"Bent d Bush have them by the

Mr. Henry Ward Beechcr, in
Plymouth Church, coutendcd that no
book OF instruction ever made larger
use Of the imagination than the Bible.
Intelligent preachers and commenta
tors recognize the majestic beauty Of
the pictures of Heaven, but have
taught that these were not to be taken
literally, and in the determination Of
punishment the same immaginative
state of things exists. Vindictive pun
ishmcnt was once thought to be right,
but it is incompatible with Ch:istianitv,
which is only another name for love,
An eternity Of punishment, for sins
committed in the weak flesh, is TO ma
turc and TO reason most absurd. The
democratic principles OF modern times
recognize inalienable rights in ever,
man; and the theory that all the goot
are going to Heaven and the wicked o
all grades to the bottomless pit of hell
en- massc, is ridiculous. All these rea
sons haze conspired to mark the chang,
that. is taking place on this subject, aDt
we must not think that efforts to escap,
from these views are wrong; they are
tie result of the highest susceptibility,
and they spring up in most educated
minds.

A Lost Cord.

Seated one day at the organ,
i was weary and i'll at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
over the noisy keys.
know not what I was playing,
Or what l was dreaming then;
But | atruck one chord of music,
Like the sound of great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close of an Angels psalm;
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With Il touch of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away in silence,
As if it were 10th to cease.
l have sought, but I seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine
That came from the soul of the organ,
And entered into mine.
1t may be that Deaths bright angel
Will speak in that chord again,
II may be that only in heaven
l shall hear that great Amen.

she had taken from gentleman friend ol hers In
whose company she was on the day she took the
ride TO the Park to take care OF them for him, and
she now wanted them back In order 10 return them

Paris Lnst Night.

Paris remained tranquil at eight o'clock last
night. A strong feeling of popular excite
ment still prevailed under the surface. The
government precaution against renewal of
the disorder was not abated, and the military
force Of the executive was maintained in
effective strength and readiness. Such is the
tenor Of the latest kilograms from the French
capital yesterday. The radical ''reds' spark
has been quenched, but its momentary glow
behind the barricades evolved an amount of
hitherto latent heat which remains.
The rcvolutionists, having delivered their
| sting, retired before the army to their garrets
to watch the liberation of the vescle which it
produced. A ball which had been announced
for Wednesday at the Tuileries was post
poned. Napoleon was, as we are told, fully
prepared to appear in character quite
different from that Of genial royal
host, for It is said that ut the
commencement of the trouble he donned his
uniform as head of the army, and stood, sur
rounded by his staff, ready to lead the troops
against an insurrection. His Majesty has read
all about the attack on the Bastile at the COM
mencement Of the great French Revolution.
He also recollects the coup Getat of the Prince
President of the late republic Of France. On
that eventful moraing st. A-naud reported to
the President, ''TAe people fire on the troops !"
The reply was embraced in the order, ''Let the
troops fire or the people The order was
obeyed and the purple of imperialism restored

SAMBo TO Re CHEATED AFTER ALL
1t seems shat, after a!l, Sambo is to be
cheated in his aspirations for representation
in the United States Senate. Revels, the
colored Senator from the State Of Mississippi,
turns out to bo neither black, quadroon, o
mulatto nor q niger He has more Indian
blood in his veins than African. Hence he
can be hailed as one Of the purest native
Americans now In The Senate, and the coequal
of any ''big Indian" that even the old Tam
many Wigwam ever Graded. All this may be
bad for poor Sambo, but it is glorious for
Choctaw. Somebody wanted to keep Revels
out of the Senatorial body on account of his
African extraction. win they now attempt to
do the same thing by alleging that he is
entitled to no political privileges which the
white man Is bound to respect, because
he is an "Indian, not taxed3' Go ahead,

An Ice IpEA.-When the coal companies
want to prepare the public mind for an enor-
nous increase in the price Of coal they begin
about the middle of summer to tell us what a
terribly severe winter is coming. Apparently
the ice companies have taken hint of that
plan; and now they are telling us little stories
all intended to prepare the way for charging
for ice two or three times what it is worth.
That is the meaning Of all the gable about
the scarcity Of ice.
