Go where you will among the rich or

ONLY ONCE.

A shy little girl came to Sabbath
school. She was poorly dressed. A
calico gown; hat trimmed with faded
green ribbon slippers, not boots, thin
slippers which looked as if somebody
had given them to her; small shawl on
her shoulders. Miss Jones brought her
ip, and she was in Miss Jones' class.
Miss Jones' class wcreigirls very nicely
dressed, They had feathers, and fresh
ribbons and fashionable boots. Miss
Jones' class, too, knew each other
Well, how did they receive the little
stranger? Very glad, of course, to wei
come her to the Sabbath school, and
their class too; because they had often
heard how the Lord Jesus became poor
for their sakes, and he left the poor
among us to feed and care for.
Did they not receive her kindly ?
Not bit. When she sat down on the
seat beside them, they moved away,
They glanced their eyes at her dress,
then at each other, and laughed con-
temptuously. When she looked visit
fully up to them for look of kindness,
they turned their faces another way
All their conduct seemed to say, "Wo
are above you, and what business have
you here l wondcr?" Oh, was it not
cruel ?
The little girl never went again
Perhaps she was driven from Sunday
school forever Let every person, great
small, remember this, that all who laugh
at the poor, laugh at God; and he will
not always be Knocked l assure you.

SOME MOTHERS CHILD.
BY FRANCIS L. KELLER.

There is lesson inculcated in the fol-
lowing lines, which, if taken into all of
our hearts, would make this world
brighter, moro beautiful and happy, to
the poor and unfortunate, for it is-a les
son of charity Many a sensitive soul
would be spared bitter pangs, and many
wandering one reclaimed to lives of truth
and goodness. So in reading these lines,
let US all remember how sublime a vir-
tue is charity:
AT home or away in the alley or street,
Wherever chance in this wide world to meet;
A girl that is thoughtless, or boy that is wild,
My heart echoes softly, otis some mothers child
rolled,
Whose hearts have grown hardened, whose spirits
are cold
BE it woman all fallen, or man all defled,
voice whispers sadly, "AhY some mothers
child
NO matter now 1af from the rl9ht she nalh strayeu
No matter what inroads dishonor hath made;
No matter what element cankered the Pearl
Though furnished and sullied, she is mothers
girl.
No matter how hayward his footsteps have been
No matter how deep he is sunken in sin
No matter how low is his standard of joy
Though guilty and loathsome, he is some mother
boy.
That head hath been pillowed ON the tenderes
breast
That form hath been wept Ger, those lips hay
been pressed;
That soul hath been prayed for in tones swee
and mild
For her sake deal gently with some mother
child Pkrea. Journal

A SCENE IN COURT.

Those who are in the habit of attend
ing police and other courts, must have
observed the difficulty under which the
lawyers and judges labor sometimes in
getting witnesses to testify in legal
form. The following, which took place
at Cincinnati, is sample: A man had
been caught in the act of theft, and
pleaded in the extenuation that he was
drunk.
Court Ito the policeman who was wit
ss)-What did the man say when you
arrested him 2
Witness-He was drunk.
Court want his precise words, just
as he uttered them; he didn't use the
pronoun he, did ho2 He didn't say he
was drunk
Witness-Oh, yes, he did-he ac-
knowledged the corn.
Court getting impatient at the wit
ness stupidity )-You don't understand
me at all want the words as he utter
ed them didn't he say ~ was drunk z"
Witness (deprecatingly)-Oh, no,
your Honor. He didn't say y0m was
drunk l couldn't allow any man to
charge that upon you in my presence.
Prosecutor-Pshaw you don't com
prehend at all. His Honor smoans, did
not thc'prisoncr say to you, ~ was
drunk 2"
Witness Collectively Dwell he might
have said you was drunk, but didn't
hear him.
Attorney for the prisoncr-What the
court desires to have you state is the
prisoners own words, preserving the
precise form Of pronoun that he made
use of in reply. Was it the first person,
I, the second person, thou, or the third
person he, she, or it Now, then, sir,
! with severity upon your oath, didn't
my client say, II was drunk 2"
Witness getting mad)-No, he didn't
say you was drunk either, but he had,

Do you 'sposc the poor fellow charged
this whole court with being drunk

UNFORTUNATE LOVER.

Ghost-lize old love will rise and haunt
the memory with their ''long ago." An
old lover details how he courted three
girls and unsuccessful in each attempt
His second one is quito interesting, it
is as follows;
"My next love was one of the gcntlest
and LATEST angels that ever lived with
out wings. My constant attentions and
unresting ardor would have received
pity from her gentle heart, had not her
GENTLE heart been TOO lazy to make the
cxertion. 1 adapted myselfto her pc

ENFORCING THE FIFTEENTH AMEND
MENT.-During the debate in the Senate
to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment,
which was passed by strict party vote
Senator Bayard declared that the bill
made the constitution a mere moclzery,
grasping the whole control of elections.
1t was, he held, a premediated engine
for the destruction of the State govern
ments, and taking possession of the whole
police power throughout the country.
One of the amendments to the bill
made by the Conference Committee was
the addition Of section in relation to
fraudulent voting, which throws the
burden of proof on the voter. This is,
instead of the prosecution havingto fur
nish proof that man has voted fraudu
lently, the accused must furnish proof
Of his innocence. This is reversing the
order of things with vengeance.

"Why," said Miss Anna Dickinson,

"Why," said Miss Anna Dickinson
on one occasion, stepping toward to the

ran through the audience. Again the
rich tones of the winsomo woman rolled
over the expcctant people as she repeat
ed the question, "Why was | born y
Again she paused, that the due impress

fore she answered own her question.
.SWhy was 1 born ?" she asked once
more. in touching and almost painful ac-
cents, when a wicked boy in the gallery
shouted, II give it up"

A HAPPY WoMAN.-Here is some
thing for the fair sex : ga happy wo-
man is she not the very sparkle and
sunshine of life !? A woman is happy
because she cannot help it-whose smile
even the coolest sprinkle of a mifortuno
cannot dampen. Men make terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty,
for talent, or style. The sweetest wives
are those who possess the magic secret
of being contented under any circum-
stances. Rich or poor, high or low, it
makes no difference the bright little
fountain of JOY bubbles up just as musi-
cal in their hearts"

The bill to permit man to marry
his wltes sister-providcd, of course.
that his wife be dead-has been AGAIN
rejectedby the British House of Lords by
very small majority. But from the per-
iinacity with which the matter has been
pushed, We might infer that there are
not few Englishmen who have their
eyes upon their wives sisters with view
to marriage. The change demanded is
a proper one, and should have been made
long ago.

We give elsewhere the proceedings of
the State Convention, whose nominations
have been generally anticipated through
out the State. The name Of Mr.. Stew
art will be received with general favor
and by none more so than those who
preferred the nomination on the east side
of the State. Mr.. Dale the candidate for
1t. Governor, is self made and rising
young man of Essex county, which we
believe has never before received State
nomination, and worthy man for the
place. Mr.. Page has heretofore taken
good care Of the treasury, and the peo-
pie very properly like tokeep him there

whose brief speech we give entire, was
among the best and happiest things of
the convention.

Spotted Tail writes encouragingly
to Mrs. Spotted Tail. In his last letter
home he says; "The white man is like

a little wire that goes over the great
country. IL reaches hundred nations,
He blows through the wire. The white
man IS great blower The words of his

call up warriors and summon men to the
