The schooFtnhees Of Long Island City
attempted last week to settle the Hunters
Point Bible war war in novel, but not
altogether satisfactory, manner, if we may
judge from the later developments in the
case. They directed that the school
premises should be mo longer used or oc.
cupied by any person during school hours
for the purpose Of holding therein religious
exercises or practices, religious instruction,
the reading of portions of the Holy Scrip
lures, or the recitation of religious prayers
or hymns for or by the children attending
the public schools !" but at the same time
they granted the free use OF the pubic
school buildings to all religious denomi'
nations, before and alter school hours, for
the purpose of imparting religious instruc'
ton TO nil children entitled to attend the
public schools. Such religious instruc'
tons were to be at the will and under the
control OF each religious sect or voluntary
combination Of religious seCts, and conGn'
cd to the children of such parents as adopt
the religious instruction Of such religious
sect or voluntary combination OF religious
scots. What was to be done in case
school building was claimed by two re.
ligious denominations at the same hour,
these SoIons did not say. 1t would not
be cdi(ying to the pupils to have three or
four teachers Of diverse sGCts impartlng
religious instruction to them at tho same
time. Ono might choose to have his pu.
pills singing while the others were pray
ing, and altogether the children would he
likely to have their theology, what little
Of it would survive such proceedings,
rather mixed These considerations may
have had some weight with the school
commissioners who directed tho principal
Of the Hunters Point school to disregard
the order of tho trustees. There is 0
truce during the holidays, but the war Is
expected TO break out with increased viO-
lCnce after New Years, rs the Catholics,
on the authority Of the trustees, propose
to organize class for religious instruc.
ton after school hours, and this will be
resisted by the commissioners.

People Will Talk.

You may get through the world but twill be
very slow,
If you listen to all that is said as you GO;
You'll be worried and fretted, and kept in stew,
For mcddlesome tongues will have something
to do,
For people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have 1t presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You're wolf in sleeps clothing, or else you're
fool,
But don't get excited, keep perfectly coo',
Fer people will talk,
If generous and noble, they'll vent out their
spleen.
You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish
and mean,
If upright, honest and fair as the day
They'll call you rogue in sly, sneering way,
For people will talk.
And then, II you show the least boldness of heart
Or slight inclination to take your own part,
They call you an upstart, conceited and vain;
But keep straight ahead, don't stop to explain
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress or old-fashioned youl
hat,
Sons one VIII surely take notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay you
way;
But don't get excited, whatever they say,
For people will talk.
II you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape
For they criticso then different shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your tailor's un
paid;
| But mind your own bpsness there's naught I
| be made,
For people will talk.
| Now, the best way to do is to do you please,
For your mind, II you have one, will then be q
| ense;
| OF course you will meet with all sorts OF abus
But don't think to stop them, 1t amt any use,

fngratitude.

1t is an old saying that if you do
man nineteen favors, and for any reason
decline to do him the twentieth, he
will forget the nineteen requests that
you have granted, and only remember
the one that you have refused-and for
that refusal he will hate you ever after.
ward.
And this is true of some men; it is
true of men of mean and narrow ma
tures but 1t is not true of all. 1t is as
natural for a noble soul to cherish a
lively recollection of kindness received,
as it is to breathe. And while we are
often shocked to see acts of friendship
towards Others, which have cost us
good deal of time and of labor, entirely
overlooked and forgotten, we not un-
frequently, on the other hand, are sur.
prised by the grateful reciprocation of
some favor long since rendered, and the
very performance of which had passed
from our own recollection, until re-
minded of it by the recipient.
We have always regarded gratitude
as feeling which is hardly susceptible
of being taught to any one. A lecture
on gratitude, to whomsoever addressed /,
instead Of awakening that emotion, is
very apt to engender feeling of indig-
nation and hatred. People never like
to be told to be grateful. And it is of
no use to tell them. 1t is not natural
to soul to appreciate the good nature
of others, it can never be taught such
appreciation. .t .

service Is Is years-that Is, seven years
of active service and eight in the re.
serves. The latter are called out only In
case of war, and the former are balloted
for. Six men out of every thousand
souls are called out annually; but as the
word souls includes old men, women
and children, this draft, in reality,
amounts to about one in fifty able
bodied men. The military force of the
Empire is divided into the regular army,
the local armies, and the reserves. The
local armies are, however, little more
than mediums for the drilling and sup
plying recruits for the regular army.
They are divided into battalions, and
are distributed throughout the Empire
according to the number of the popula-
tion of each province, so that the popu-
lation may be able to supply number
of regiments equal to the number Of
battalions. And in places where the
formation of these regiments would be
difficult on account of the paucity of the
population, or the proximity to or dis
tance from the seat of war, detachments
are formed and sent TO the nearest en-
campment of the army of reserve. The
generals and officers of the reserve are
selected from the officers of the regular
army or from the reserve itself.
The more enlightened Russians, how.
ever, while submitting to the system
and declaring thir readiness to obey
the will of the Emperor with their sub,
stance and their blood" recently asked
him to grant them freedom ofconscience,
of opinion, and Of the press. They got a
sharp rebuke for so doing; but as their
military services had been required they
thought that they might follow the ex.
ample of their ancestors in 1912. There
was then danger of a war with Turkey
and the Czar, Michael Romanoff, called
a council elected from all parts of his
dominions, to discuss the subject. They
agree to fight if necessary, but repre-
sented that they could raise no money,
so poor and so ruined were the peope
and they demanded uarious reforms IN th
Government. Michael conceded some o
their demands, and AexanderIL shoult
; not turn q deaf ear to those brought tt
. his attention now.-Ledger.

The Twilight Of Sorrow.

by MATTE WEAVER.
The twilight is falling around me
Sunbre and dark and gray;
E'en the light of the stars is wanting
At the close of this long bright day.
And know that, as over the village
The shadows are gathring in wrath,
30 the sunhine and light and brightness
Are fadipg from out my path.
Slowly and sadly the sun went down:
watched 1t In silent pain
Tomorrow twill dawn In the brlght'ing East
For me, oh never again.
Oh. sunless life 1! Oh, king path
shrinking turn from the cup of woe;
From the shadows dark and midnight gloom
Through which my weary feet must go.
OH Star OF Life rise in my sky
The sombre dreary skies above;-
Oh, tender hand my footsteps guide

HoOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS,
A bitters without Alcohol OF Spirits OF any kind.
Is different from all others. II is composed of
the pure Juices or VITAL PRINCIPLE OF Roors,
lIERBs, and BARKs, Tor as incidentally termed
Extracts) the worthless or insert portions of the
Ingredients not being used. Therefore in one
Bottle of this Bitters there is contained much
mediclnl virtue will be found in several gallons
of ordinary mixtures. The Roots, &c., used in
this Bitters are grown in Germany, their vital
principles extracted in that country by scien-
tinc Chemist, and forwarded to the manufactory
in this city, where they are compounded and
bottled. Containing no spirituous ingredients,
his Bitters is free from the objections urged
gainst all others; desire for stimulants can be
induced from their use, they cannot make drunk
ards, and cannot under any circumstances, have
4 any but a beneficial effect.

i Was compounded for those not inclined to ex-
4 treme bitters, and is intended for use in cases
when some alcoholic stimulant is required in
4connection with the Tonic properties of the

4bOtile of the Bitters, combined with pure SANTA
dCRJZ RUM, and favored In such u manner that
3the extreme bitterness OF the bitters is sovercome,
Nforming q preparation highly agreeable and
fplcasant to the palate, and containing the medi-
4cnal virtues of the Bitters. The price of the
STonlc is sl.5o per Bottle, which many persons
dthink too high. They must take into considera-
tIon that the stimulant used is guaranteed to be
u of a pure quality. poor article could be fur
nished at cheaper price, but is IL not better to
