The Paper Rustle.

Twas Tuesday night
No moon shone bright,
But all was cool and shady,
A gay young gent,
Down Main street went,
Walking with lady.
They talked of love
He called her dove
He told of his affection.
She heaved sigh,
And turned her eye
In an opposite direction.
But why that start,
Which chilled his heart,
As if with ice encrusted2
All | do not blame
Owe give no name.)
For in sudden hustle,
She broke in twain

The roll was called, and delegations from all

The following resolution was adopted

they having used their influence to procure sig
natures to applications for licences to sell iutox-

vorable consideration.

TRYING sroREg BEFORE JURY.
IFrom the n. y. world.l
Such a case as that of Stokes sets in apecnliar
high relief the obsoleteness OF our trial by jury,
and especially the absurdty of the manner in
which jurors are selected. According to the
strict rule, any man who formed or expressed an
opinion upon the subject matter of the inquest
which he is summoned as juror to assist il dis
qualified from serving. A New Yorker who has
not formed any opinion about the shooting OF
Fisk is certainly grossly ignorant. And New
Yorker who is grossly ignorant, is 30 by his own
fault I; that is to say he is fool. Even the law
does not hold that tribunal of fools is likely to
elicit wise and just decision.

A sensation is caused in the New York relig-
ious circles, by the formal withdrawal Of Rev G.
H. Hepworth, hitherto shining light of the
Unitarian denomination from that connection,
and his assumption of Orthodox views. He has
been pastor Of the Church of the Messiah, one
of the largest and wealthiest in the Unitarian
fold. Mr.. Hepworth states that he has been
more and more impressed with conviction Of
the divinity of Christ, and could no longer re-
strain taking step consistent with that conyic-
ton.
