The Old Man in the Model Church.
Well, wife, I've found the model church! wor-

The meetins house fixed up more than they were
But then Iii when went in it wasn't built for
show.
The sexton didn't scat me away back by the door;
He knew that was old and deaf as well as old and
poor; in
The long aisle of that crowded church to find pleas

ring;

The tune was Coronation, and the music upward

Till thought heard the angels striking all their
harps of gold.

Ijoned my feeble, trembling voice with that meodi-
choir,
And sang as in my youthful days. "Let angels pros
trate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord
of ALL"
tell you, wife, it did me good to sing that hymn
once more;

of shore;
almost wanted to lay down this wsatheF-Deaten
And anchor in the blessed port, forever from the

He hadn't time to read it, for the ghtnin' of his eye

The sermon wasn't fowery; twas simple gospel

1t fitted poor old men like me; it fitted hopeful
youth;
Twas full of consolation forsweary hearts that bleed

The preacher made sin hideous, in Gentiles and in

order of things. 1t is a hopeful sign,
though it comes after the canvass, that
the best OF the Administration jour

A correspondent of the Liege Ga

poor Empress Carlotta at her cha

dltion Is one of hopeless insanity,
which has reduced her to a state of
chlldlshness very sad to see. Her
whole nature seems to be changed,
and, while perfectly quiet, she
seems to have lost all affection for
her friends and relatives. She
spends all her time in writing tel

Mexico, and in conversing with spir-

GAnR1soN AGAINST SUMNER. William Lloyd
Garrison, the pioneer abolitionist has been
for many years warm friend and admirer
OF Charles Sumner; but the late spiteful
attack in the Senate upon the President by
the sorely aggrieved Senator has proved too
much for the fair-dealing and honest Garrison,
be has accordingly written his friend Sumner
Q letter and lecture, 'more in sorrow than in
anger" against the violence and injustice of
his charges against General Grant, which, it
is to be hoped, will bring down the Senator's
wrath within the bounds of reason. How.
ever, for the vindication of the cause of
truth and justice in regard to General Grant
no reply to this spiteful attack of Senator
Sumner is called for. In his ungoverned race
the Senators assault recoils upon himself, and
be is fully answered in the disclosure Of his
weakness and his folly.

The JEROME PARK RACES To-DAY.-The
present meeting of the American Jockey Club
at Jerome Park opened so auspiciously on
Saturday last that very brilliant attendance
may be looked for to-day The racing pro-
gramme is especially interesting, comprising
five events. First on the list we have the race
for the Ladies' Stakes, for FLIES three years
old, one mile and five furlongs, for which
there are thirty-seven nominations Then
comes the Jockey Club Handicap Sweepstakes,
with twenty-five names entered, many of
which stand high in the annals of the turf
The closing event. a stecple chase, in which
members of the club ride, will doubtless be
the post interesting with the general public.
The jerome Park races hays now become so
popular, both on account OF their admirable
management and the delightful location that
we may look for a steady increase in the at
tendance during the present meeting.

The Increase OF Crime and Its Pre-.
vcntiOn.


The records Of the criminal courts in this
city are unusually heavy at present in the vii
famous matter of assaults upon the person,
wherein the knife, the pistol and the slung.
shot have been brought into deadly play. It
would seem, indeed, that an epidemic of this
class of crime sweeps from time to time
through the lawless classes Of the community,
and that nothing short of stern, speedy punish
ment is ever eficacious in stopping it. It
will be remembered that some years ago in the
city Of London this class Of violent assaults,
combined with robbery became alarmingly
frequent, and that special act of Parliament
increasing the term of imprisonment and re-
viving the lash, was enacted in the gar
rioters interest and acted almost as q
specific in preventing that tiger-crime. The
constant use of deadly weapons is sure badge
Of social Generalization, and in well-ordered
communities should be dealt with as severely
as the law will allow. We, therefore, feel that
the remarks of the City Judge to the Grand
Jury yesterday were well-timed, and hope that
the result of the jury's labor will be such as to
restrain the tendency of the rowdy element in
the use of their lethal weapons. The subject,
however takes wider BEARING. and one that
