The Loaf OF Bread.

In time of famine rich man allowed
twenty of the poorest children IN the
town to come to his house, and said to
them, SIN this basket there Is loaf OF
bread for each of you. Take it, and
come again at the same hour every day
till God sends better times.
The children pounced upon the basket,
struggled and fought over the bread, be-
cause each wished to have the largest
and best loaf and then they went away
without word of thanks to their friend.
But Francesca, little girl meanly
though neatly dressed, stood at dis
lance, and gratefully took the loaf that
was left in the basket, which was the
smallest; then she kissed the good mans
hand, and went quietly home.
The next day the children were just as
naughty and ill-behaved and this time
there was left for poor Francesca loaf
that was hardly half as large as the
others. But when she reached home,
and her mother cut the bread, there fell
out number of new pieces of silver.
The mother was frightened, and said,
"Take back the money this moment,
for 1t is certainly in the bread by mis-
take"
Francesca took it back.
But the kind man said at is no mis-
take, my good child had the money
baked in the smallest loaf in order to re-
ward you. Be always as contented and
yielding as you now are. He who is
cOntented with the smallest loaf, rather
than quarrel for the largest, will receive
abundant blessings. From the Ger
man Of Schmidt.

Honesty Tested.

There was a lad in Ireland, who was
put to work at a linen factory, and while
he was at work there a piece of cloth
was wanted to be sent out which was
short of the length that it ought to have
been but the master thought that it
might be made longer by little stretch
ing. He thereupon unrolled the cloth,
taking hold of one end of it himself and
the boy the other. He then said, "Pull,
Adam, pull !" but the boy stood still.
The master again said, "Pull, Adam,
pull p The boy said, 81 can't" "Why
not ?" said the master. Because it
is wreng," said Adam, and he refused to
pull. Upon this the master said he
would not do for linen manufacturer.
But that boy became the Rev. DR.. Adam
Clarke, and the strict principle of hon
esty of his youthful age laid the founda-
ton of his future greatness.

A Great Park.

The State of New York has taken the
necessary steps to secure for all future
time one of the most magnificent parks
in the world. At the last session of the
General Assembly, the Governor was
authorized to appoint seven commits
sioners to examine and report on the adj
visibility of setting apart portion of
the State, known as the Adirondack re-
gion, for vast public park. The Com
missioners, of whom ex-Gov. Horatio
Seymour is President, have devoted
much of the spring and summer to max
ing explorations, and have just made
their report. They recommend estab-
fishing park of about 10000 acres of
land, lying III the counties of Clinton,
Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, Herkimer,
st. Lawrence and Warren. Nearly all
the land recommended to be set apart
belongs to the State and is entirely un-
productive. The small portion owned
by private parties can be bought ut very
low rates. The whole region is one of
great beauty, embracing mountain, lake
and river scenery. The commissioners
do not recommend any large appropria-
ton of money for fitting up the park,
DuJ Suggest tnaJ ueilrly everything re-
main rs now. They believe that lots
may be leased for houses for summer
residences at sum that will build all
tn roads and bridges necessary. They
believe many economical advantages will
follow the establishment of the proposed
park that the country around it will be
speedily settled up that timber will be
preserved for any emergency that the
present volume of water in the Hudson
river may be preserved; that much
money will be spent at home that is at
present spent in visiting Europe and
distant parts of our own country.

The first was dispensation from the

The Millions OF British India.

A new census has recently been COM
pleted in Bengal, by the British Regis
ter-General, and the London Spectator
thus summarizes the result
The result, if it is in the main correct,
as we see no reason to doubt, is that
the popular estimate of population in
Bengal is entirely wrong, that it
amounts to 100000 instead of 40
600, 900, or within fraction of half the
whole population submitted to our au-
thority. In other words, we have in
Asia one collection of provinces of in
comparable fertility, comprising o.
900, 900 of people, or rather more than
the population of Russia, which we
hold with garrison of less than 10, 900
Europeans, in which we dare to-
morrow take frank plebiscite, and in
which any law not insanely offensive
would be obeyed by the population, one
province that. is out of which, in fact,
we could not be expelled except by
party violence. We hold Bengal as we
hold Wales, with no fear of the people
except in a riot, which very moderate
force of soldiery will quell, the masses,
planted in some counties at the rate OF
600 to the square mile, never dreaming
of resisting tho armed force. The popu-
lation, moreover, double our own, is so
apt, so intellectual, and so ambitious
that the single real difficulty in the way
OF opening the civil service is that the
Bengalees would, in mere examinations,
beat the Europeans out of the field SO
wealthy that their absorption of specie
is felt severely by the world ut large,
and so impossible that they will, when
fairly treated, boat the officials in help
ing Government to returns which might
bring them evil, and could bring them
no reward. They increase too rapidly,
the number of living children per family
being II per cent. greater than in En-
gland. But the grand new fact is the
astounding number OF Mohammedans
revealed by the new census. The old
idea was that the Mohamnedans in
India north of the Kistna did not exceed
Is, 900, 900, but the census shows us that
of the total &c, 900, 900 in Bengal alone,

Buddhists. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 81, 900

Otners. ............ .............. 1851, QUO
The Mohammedans are therefore
nearly third of the population, and
with their armies of missionaries, with
their theory that all faithful races are
equal before God, and with their prac-
tice of raising any convert at once to
full social equality, they are becoming
so numerous that by 1900 they will be
half the population. The difficulty of
governing Bengal will then be increased
four-fold, for they will absolutely rule
the Hindoos, and may lose the feeling
that Bengal, if made Independent, would
be prey to native race far more I'M
endurable than the English, who at
least never interferein matters of creed
who, indeed, with cool, serene justice,
absolutely unintelligible to native OBJ
servers, have ruled that a change from
any creed to any other shall affect no
civil rights.

The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
has set aside the legal absurdities en-.
forced by Judge Pearson. in the trial Of
the cause Of George o. Evans, and re-
manded it back for another hearing The
opinion of the Court was delivered by
Judge Sharswood, in which he held
That the moneys collected by Evans
were collected by him as public officer
within the exceptions Of the act of As
sembly of 1912, and the Judge on the
trial of the case in the Court in Dauphin
county should have go charged the jury.
The Judge erred in charging the jury
with reference to the claims placed in
Evans hands by General Iartranft for
collection, that they could fix the amount
of commission at three, five or ten per
cent, and no; limiting the commissions to
the amount actually collected. On the
question Of the forfeiture by Evans of all
this commission for refusing or neglect
ing to account for his collections, the
Court held that under the l4th section of
the act of 1911. Evans was bound to
account promptly or within reasonable
tire, and that it was a condition of his
official bond to account semi-annually to
the State Treasurer for the amounts col
lected by him. He collected on May l..
1867, S7S,576 SO; October II, 1868,
sl05. .56l.46, and on August 90. 1870,
S136, SAG O9. He furnished no account
until July /, 1871.
On the trial, Mr. Evans said that he
reported to Governor Geary, but not in
writing. and that, as the State had a
large balance unsettled, which fact. if it
got into the newspapers, would endanger
the collection thereof, Governor Geary
requested him not to make written re-
port for the good of the State. Cover
nor Geary, says Justice Sharswood, was
not alive at the time of the trial to meet
these allegations. but it was too clear for
argument that Governor Geary had no
power to release an agent from the per,

that which, in human beings, we call

play. And this happens to be one of
them.
The very things which are argued in
justification of the deed have excited the
popular suspicion and disgust, and the
point which is made by the people against
their representatives in Congress. on this
question, is not that they acted under the
sanction of the Constitution and Of form,
