Is POVERTY A cRIMEG

If it is, then there are many Grim
inals. The standard of honesty and
excellence, in the minds of many
men, is money. Give an individual
plenty of money-fill his barns full,
and examine his title papers to
broad acres of land on which no
mortgage lies; and what multitude
of faults are hidden beneath these
things? Wealth hides more sins
than anything else. "He was a
poor, but an honest man." All, there
it is, "poor" get "honest," they say,
as if the two conditions were rarely
allied. And that's the way the
world feels toward poverty
Crime and poverty go hand in hand
in the minds of too many of US.
fmeu would learn to honor and
trust each other for their intrinsic
worth-their wealth Of mind and
soul-their talent, genius, industry,
sobriety, etc, be he rich or poor |;
and lower estimate were placed
upon each other for their wealth of
purse we would all be happier,
wiser and better. Genius would
oftener be re garded, and better ap-
preciated. poor yet honest" men
would be stimulated to higher exer-
tons, for they would feel and know
that honor, trust and profit might
follow such exertions. A man
should be hon0red and applauded for
what hesis, not for what he has. 1t
was not your men of wealth who
gave to the world the steam engine,
the telegraph, the sewing machine;
and thousands of other useful and
scientific inventions which have rev
oIutionized the whole civilized world;
but men of poverty, who hved IN
obscurity, an under the ban OF re-
proach on account of such poverty.
1t has ever been thus and, we tear,
will continue to be so, for man by
nature, is ungrateful, and money
rules the world.

READY MADE ECHOES.

Up in the Lehigh Valley there is
a hotel keeper who has mountain
about half mile from his house,
and it occurred to him that it would
be a good idea if he could fix things
so that a magnificent echo could be
heard from the mountain by persons
who stood at his hotel aud halIoed.
He thought the phenomenon might
attract visitors. SO he engaged a
boy named jim Simms, who lived
over on the mountain, to be on hand
every day from twelve till two, and
to secrete himself behind a clump
of trees, and when he saw any body
on the roof of the hotel, and heard
them calling, to repeat their swords
five or six times in voice which
would grow fainter and fainter. He
made jim practice, and the result
was splendid.
So one day the landlord announc-
ed that he had discovered that a no
BILE echo could be heard from the
roof of the hotel. He took lot of
people up to let them enjoy the dis
covery. The guests called for half
an hour, but without hearing any
echo. The landlord was crimson
with rage; but just as he was about
to give it up, the voice of Jim came
sailing over the river to this effect:
''Bin down to the spring fur mother.
Fire away, now. Pm all right
The guests smiled. The landlord
glided down stairs and tore over TO
Simms' where he shook James up a
few times, and gave him a lecture
and some fresh INSTRUCTIONS.
In few days the landlord rushed
new crowd of guests to hear the
echo. 1t worked grandly for
while, but all at once it stopped in
the middle of an impressive reverb>
Grafton. In vain the callers strove
to awake the echo. 1t was dumb.
But presently, in answer to an ex-
ceedingly boiSterous cry, the follow
ing strain was waited across from
Mr.. Simms "You come over here
and make him gimme my knife, and
then I'll holIer. He's settin' on
me-"
The landlord dropped down stairs
and FASTENED over to the mountain.
There was Mr.. James Simms lying
prone upon the ground, with a big
boy holding him down and whack-
ing him. Mr.. Simms and his antag>
onist had engaged in a game of
humble peg, during which the big
boy had seized Mr.. Simms knife,
and Jim all at once lost his interest
in the echo of business. The land
lord went home, assembled the stairs,
and nailed his trap-door fast. No
more echoes for him.

A TRAGEDY IN ROCHESTER,.

A fearful tragedy occurred IN
Rochester, N. Y, on the 18th, about
4 o'clock in the afternoon, at the
old Break of Day House" Gilbert
Mclaughlin, the son of the proprie
tor. while delirious, it is supposed,
from the effects Of an incipient fe-
yer, or some other cause, shot his
step mother fatally, and wounded
man employed to take care OF him.
The murderer, according to the tes-
timony, was under the hallucination
that there was design against his
own life, and he took position on
the second floor at the head of the
staircase, with dueling pistol in
his hand. Mrs. Mclaughlin locked
herself into the front parior, and
waved her handkerchief and called
upon the man Jewett, who was hir-
ed TO take care of young McLaugh-
lin, to come up stairs. Jewett en-
deavored to do so, but retired after
receiving a bullet through his arm.
Then ensued fearful struggle on
the part of the woman in the room
to defend her life against the mad
man outside. Her old and imbeclls
husband was in another part OF the
house. unaware OF what was going
on. or at least unable to Interfere
.Jewett raised an alarm when he re-
treated, and all the persons outside
seemed most unaccountably ditiatory
in interfering. The unfortunate
woman placed herself against the
room door to hold it firm. Young
Mclaughlin placed his pistol against
the ranels and fred through twice.
1t is thought that one of the bullets
passed through the body of the de-
ceased, inhicting the mortal wound
and that she dragged herself over to
the window, near which her corpse
was found. 1t may be that she was
struck while attempting to escape at
this point, as the murderer finally
kicked in the panel and reached
through to take aim in firing the last
shot. Mclaughlin was one who
often showed disposition to escape
from the associations of his youth,
but lacked strength Of mind to do so.

LOST WOMEN.

Has it never occurred to you what
a commentary upon our civilization
are lost women, and the attitude OF
society towards them ? A little child
strays from the home inclosure, and
the whole community is on the alert
to find the wanderer and restore 1t
to its mothers arms. What rejoicing
when it is found, what fearful sym
patty, what heartiness of congrat"-
lation There are no comments upon
the poor tired feet, be they ever so
miry, no reprimaud for the solled and
torn garments, or lack OF kisses for
the tear stained face. But let the
child be grown to womanhooh, let
her be led from it by the scourge OF
want--what happens Do Christians
men and women go in quest Tor her
Do they provide all possible help io'
her return, or if she returns OF nel
own notion, do they receive her witt
such kindness and delicacy as to Sc
cure her against strolling away
again ? Far from it. At the frs
step she is denounced as lost--lost,
echo friends and relstiyes-we dis
own you; don't come to us to dis
grace us ! Lost says Society, indit-
ferently. How bad these girls are
