Henry Ward Beechcr thus holds forth
in late number of the New York Lefty
cr:
Too fast or too slow, which is the
worse2 @
lfit is note coming due, or dearly
loved friend leaving you, or child sick
ening, or bush Of roses al its height of
bloom, or the strawberry season, or
rare bird flying out Of Of the tree before
you can examine it, or the coming home
of Aunt Jerusha, just as young lover
has gushed forth his acknowledgement,
or the school bell when the boys are out
at play, or a shooting star which you run
out to look at, Or the coming on OF. old
age--al these are too quick--a world too
quick. ....
But when one considers the miseries of
too slow, the balance waycrs. When you
have fever and ask for water; when
you are waiting for Il friend with only
five minutes before the train starts; or
when rich uncle who has made his will
IN your favor is incredibly slow in going
10 heaven; or when you are waiting for
the morning twilight after weary night,
or on Sunday night IN New England, You
and Julia are waiting for the old folks to
go to bed--good old folks, who forget
their own courting days and seem to en-
joy the society Of young people so much!
But these and thousand other slow
ncsses are not to be compared with the
! slowness Of sermon IN hot weather.
The minister begins slow, and like a
clock running down, goes slower and
slower every tick, and yet, unlike the
clock, will not stop. Is it wicked for
boys and girls to play in church? Is il
wrong for folks to 90 to sleep2 Is there
no defense 10 be allowed against such a
deliberate attack against patience and
grace? Has the pew no rights which the
pulpit Is bound TO respect?
/ Did you ever find yourself shut mp by
politeness, by interest, by necessity, to
hear one tell her infrmities her sickness,
when she fell sick, how 1t happened, what
Z the neighbors said, a comparison Of this
case with other ones in the ncigbborhood.
The nauseous conversation dHps, drips
along for al hour; Il resumed, repeated,
begun again--ueyef ended .......
What an example 10 irritable aud ner-
yous men is theox! Behold hundred
flies sucking hi- blood iIe stands with
eyes half shut, chewing bis cud-n0w
aud then listlessly switching his tail, be
dislurbs the swarm bot lbey settle again

SLAUGHTER OF rIIE INNo,ENrs.

Last night gaily dressed little human
doll, about five years Of age slrolled
through the parlors Of this fashionable
hotel. She had q pretty pink complcNioni
curly hair fastened at the back Of her
head IN kind of waterfall; small, black,
shiny eyes, and hands aud feet 50 tiny
that they seemed only an imitation Of ma
ture, on very small scale. She wore
silk dress, over which was hung bright
Dolly Warden, while her back was half
hidden by the prodigious bow OF large
red SASH In all respects she was like
grown up woman OF fashion, save In size.
Her face was the face ofa child, aud yet
Il was wonderfully old In fact, she
looked like a lady Of thirty, seen through
the wrong end of an opera glass.
This little creature sat on her chair
with all the primness of a recognized
spinster. There was very little cxhube-
rance about Ler. She danced Ia every
quadrille and in several waltzcs aud pol
kas, and was quite at home in all the
steps. She curtscd In the lancors with
grace that would have been stately but
for her size, aud did not once make a
mistake, even in the most intricate fig
ures. She was painfully ladylke. There
was no romping or childish gaiety In her
dancing, but instead All almost painful
expression of mental concentration upon
her task II was evident that to her even
at that age, to dance wen was the one
great object OF life.
The life ofa child Of fashion IL thls:
To rise about niue O'Clock, and take a
late breakfast with mamma, TO be im-
prisoned in the bedroom ill towards
dinner, or at the most, allowed only Il
/ little run on the piazza. Then to under
go dressing and spend an hour or two at
the dinner table. Then to stroll Oh the
piazza, to 20 out riding, to take tea Ia
| the evening TO dance. This Is the daily
routine of many child at our principal
summer hotels. It's true that majority
of them eat at table arranged for chill
dren and servants; rise earlier and are
sent to bed at a reasonable time. But on
the other hand, there are too many pre-
cocious youngsters, who arc treated pre-
ciscly like adults. The result il obvious;
the health is impaired, the mind becomes
devoted 10 fashionable frivolity, and tho
unfortunate children are children IN
years only, and not in habits, taste or
language. -L0ag Branch Letter.

The Boston Globe says We say to the
self-constituted solicitors of charity for Boston,
that they have grossly misrepresented the
public sentiment of the city and if they doubt
it let them ask their neighbors, or the first
man they meet upon the street. Boston has
no such grovelling to shift her burdens upon
the shoulders Of other communities, and she
is not content to rest under so false an impu-
tation. The press and the public abroad
should understand that the committees action
is not and will not be sustained by the public
sentiment here, and that it will be repudated
by the almost unanimous voice of our citizens.
The help which Boston needs is the goodwill
forbearance, encouragement, and generous
patronage Of those who sympathize with her
in her great calamity, and not pecuniary aid
in relieving her destitute

The argument in regard to the validity of
the lease of the United Companies of New
Jersey to the Pennsylvania Central took place
before the Court of Appeals at Trenton last
Wednesday, 1t had been previously decided
by the Chancellor that the lease was valid and
not affected by the failure to file the papers,
as was alleged on behalf of certain resisting
stockholders of the Joint Commpanies. The
matter was then before full bench Of the
Court, and after patient hearing IL is now
decided that the appeal must be granted. 1t
was agreed by the Court that the case could
not be disposed Of at this term. 1t will doubt
less prove to be tedious and tiresome piece
of litigation; and as the Pennsylvania has now
had full possession Of the disputed property
for year or more it is not hard to anticipate
the ultimate result.

real and personal property in this State as
assessed for this year is $603, G65, 49s, being
nearly twenty millions more than in the year

property more than in the previous year
