MARTYRDoM OF HyPoCRIsY.-We hear
much of martyrs and confessors, of those
who were slain by the sword, or consumed
in the fire; but we know little of that still
larger number, who, by the mere threat
of persecution, have been driven into an
outward abandonment of their opinions,
and who, thus forced into an apostacy the
heart abhors, have passed the remainder of
their lives in the practice of constant and
humiliating hypocrisy. 1t is this which is
the real curse of religious persecution
For in this way men being constrained to
mask their thoughts, there arises bad
habit of securing safety by falsehood, and
of purchasing impunity with deceit. In
this way fraud becomes necessary of life:
insincerity is made daily custom; the
whole tone Of public feeling is vitiated, and
the gross amount OF vice and of error fear
fully ncreased.-Bacie.

A FRAGMENT.

The editor of the Liberal Christian offers
a years subscription to his paper to any
one who will inform him who wrote the
following fragment of verse, and how he
may obtain the remainder of the poem. 1t
was found on torn scrap of newspaper
which was picked up in path through the
woods in Indiana, more than twenty years
ago:
An hour before, she spoke of things
That memory to the dying brings,
And kissed me all the while;
Then, after some sweet parting words,
She seem'd among her flowers and birds
Until she fell asleep.
Twas summer then; tits autumn now;
The crimson leaves fall off the bough,
And strew the gravel sweep.
l wander down the garden walk,
And muse on all the happy talk
We had beneath the lines;
OF golden ewes when she and l
Sat watching here the flushing sky,
The sunset and the sea;
Or heard.t the children in the lanes,
Following home the harvest wains,
And shouting in their glee.
But when the daylight dies away,
And ships grow dusky i'll the bay,
These recollections cease;
And in the stiffness of the night
Bright thoughts that end in dreams as
bright
Communicate their peace.
wake and see the morning star,
And hear the breakers on the bar,
The voices on the shore;
And then, with tears, long to be
Across dim unsounded sea,
With her forevermore.

THE SHADOW.

AS wise man was walking about his
garden one day he observed that as he
turned in different directions his shadow
sometimes went before him, sometimes
was at his side, and sometimes followed
him " This" said he, is an emblem of
honor. 1t goes before some without being
earned: power, wealth, ancestry giving
them consequence beyond their deserts, so
that the shadow precedes, and is larger
than the body which follows it. Then
again many man is fortunate enough to
be the companion of his honor, and though
his fame may be well merited it is only on
one side of him, like the shadow. He will
always have enemies who delight in pairing
off the edges of his geatness as thieves do
gold coin; so that on the side from which
they take no honor is visible. Then there
are others who walk straight on towards
the sun of virtue, and the shadow of their
reputation deservedly follows them. But
1 must also observe that hypocrites walk
towards the sun; and by this mean that
their outward department resembles that
of the children oflight. They talk Of truth
and goodness, and will contend for them
with zeal, and it is hard to discriminate be-
tween their pretentiops and real godliness.
But they will often turn in their walk to
contemplate their shadow; which shows
that their chief aim is to win the vain
honor of the world. They love the sun for
the shadow it makes them cast, and when
it becomes concealed behind cloud they
soon seek to gain shadow from some
other luminary. They have their reward
in the world, and their shadows will never
be seen on the banks of the river of life. -

The Two VoIcEs.-An Indian, being
among his white neighbors, asked for little
tobacco, and one Of them having some loose
in his pocket, gave him handful. The
day following, the Indian came back and
inquired for the donor, saying he had
found quarter of dollar among the to-
bacco. Being told that as it had been
given to him, he might as well keep it, he
answered, pointing to his breast, 81 got
good man and bad man here; and the
good man say it is not mine, must return
it to the owner; the bad man say, 'Why,
he gave it to you, and it is your own now:'
the good man say, That's not right, the
tobacco is yours, not the money The
bad man say, Never mind, you got it, go
buy some drsa1.' the good man say. No,
no, yon must not dc so;' SO / don't know
what to do, and think to G. ta sleep; but
the good man and the bad man keep talk
ing all night, and trouble me; and now
bring the money back feel glad"

At about seven O'Clock on Saturday night James

Pidgeon, q contractor on Newtown Creek, heard
a scufiie on canal boat lying at the foot OF Oak.

During the quarrel McGrath heard the words,

after heard splash in the water, and the exclam-
alton, as II from some person in agony, OF 20 my
God,m repeated three times, when all became still.
McGrath went to summon assistance, when,
crossing lot in the vicinity. he met John Wilson,
the captain OF the canal boat. and believing that
he knew something of the difficulty, detained him

John Wilson, the captain OF the barge, says that
he and McGohrick, who had been working TOR him,
had been drinking pretty hard all day. and that
both were wei under the influence OF liquor. and
at four O'Clock in the afternoon he laid down to
sleep, telling McGoldrlck to wake him at six
O'Clock, that about seven O'Clock he woke up and
found McGoldrick gone. He most emphatcally de-

ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT.
Result OF the Panic.


Emmanuel Bengen was held, in default OF $4,000
stealing 81, 200 from Mary Tisch, OF No "a Sheriff
street. The facts OF the case are these:-During
the late panic Mrs. Fisch drew all her money,
amounting to $4,000, from the Bowery Savings
Bank thinking it would be safer in her pocket
book at home. Her husband and herself keep
grocery store at No S4 Sheriff street, and occupy
q room or the store as sleeping apartment. The
money all placed carefully In pocketbOOk
and deposited in q bureau drawer

had been out on business during the evening, and
Bengen had gone into her back room to get
match about five O'Clock in the evening. she is
positive that one else entered that room that
evening but the prisoner, and that the money was
there when he entered. The matchbox was
placed on the bureau where the money was de-
posted.
Officer O'Connor, OF the Eleventh precinct, has
been working up the case for the past week with
q view towards getting evidence against Bengen,

The prisoner denies all knowledge OF the larceny;
but Justice Otterbourg decided to hold hlm in SIS, 900

and caught James Mcbride with about $50 worth
OF wines and liquors packed up ready for removal.

Justice Otterbourg yesterday. He could not ac-
count for his presence in the store, and the cellar

THE POOR OF JERSEY CITY.

What Is Being Done to Alleviate Their
Condition-Thc Needs OF Police and
Firemen-Hobolxen I'm the Foreground.
The measures taken to meet distress in Jersey
City are highly creditable to the charitable and
generous people OF that community. The Pavonia
Club opened a soup house In Grove street yester-
day morning. The Young Mems Christian Associ.
alton have opened q soup house at Keplers
Market, and hundreds OF poor people have already
avaicd themselves OF the assistance there rendered
them The sewing societies OF st. Mcnaels
and st. Mary's parishes, especially the
former, have succeeded beyond all ex-
pectaton. Committees are appointed to
collect money and clothing throughout these
parishes and the collections have been
comparatively munincent. An extra supply OF
coal has been LEFT at the disposal OF the Overseer of
the Poor for distribution among the needy.
The Jersey City Schuetzen Corps, Of
which Hermann Schroeder is captain, will
give bail at Cooper Hall on the 18th of
fund for the poor. The Knights OF the Round
are engaged In arranging for q dramatic enter
tainment on large scale for the same object. The
liberal and humane policy adopted by the Erie and
their iull star OF employees and the evidence OF re-
turning activity at most OF the factories give hope
that there Will be no case OF actual Gestituton. The
example set by the Schuetzen Corps might be
followed by many other clubs and associations at
Cooper Hall and elsewhere. such entertainments
would be all the more enjoyable from the consider
alton that the prayers OF the widow and the orphan
ascend daily in this trying season Tor
their benefactors. The Board OF Public
Works have retainad ~ the AborlnR hands
