Curbing the Temper.

BoTH philosophy and moral may be
found in the following, which we heard
fall from the lips of the very learned Rev.
DIR. Schaff, of this city. 1t was at meet
ing Of ministers of the Reformed Church,
gathered in tie lecture-room of the church
which until recently stood at the corner
of William and Fulton streets. There was
a running discussion on the delicate point
how far we might judge a mans piety.
The learned divine took very sensible
ground, viz, that large margin of charity
should be given, as some men, because of
difference of constitutional temperament,
might do things that In them would be
less sinful than in others more favorably
constituted. He said that certain min
lister of the Reformed Church was presid-
ing at a meeting of the consistory Of his
church when one of the officers considered
it his duty to differ from his minister on a
point of church polity. The pastor at this
lost his head, and advancing to the elder
delivered himself in violent language,
whereat another elder ventured a remOn-

The involuntary dancers were STYLED in
the Latin chronicles coreizantes. and the
dance was spoken of in the fifteenth CEN
tury, in some parts of Europe, as st.
Vitus' dance. A nervous disease, produc-
ing frequent involuntary motions, thus
took this name among the common peo-
pie; while medical men specified the
disease as Ctorea Sancfi PIti, or .Sancti
Modest. 1t has been also called the dance
of st. Guy, and of other saints. 1t is pos.
sible that these several names came from
churches to which the old story was at

OUT OF THE DEPTHS.
by BARTON GREY.


made my soula song for her singing,
e What time the cleaning was mellow with May
And the whispering harebels, their curfev
ringing,
swelied the dirge of the dying day;
And out of the depths OF the spirits passion
Love the great master, touched the KEYS
And tie rhyme came forth in the old, old fash
ion,
Half fear, half hope-and the words wer,
these:
Come, my soul, let us reason together:
Come, for the shadows darken ahead;
Care and sorrow tighten the tether,
Life's sun through the mists glows dim and
red.
Come, ere the long, low light of the summer
Fade TO the brown of the autumn leaf;
Come, lest the foot of the careless conner
Lay weary in paths made rough with grief.
Soul, where thoughts like the white winged
angels
Brood in the hush of this dim, dusk eve,
Whisper to me thy sweet evangels,
Whisper and sigh, but do not grieve;
out of the depths of thy charmed chambers
Raise me song that shall thrill afar;
hindle thy fires, blow bright thine embers,
clean on her soul like the CLEAN of n star.
Through winsome valleys, by height and soaur,
Whose shield is dark from a noble tourney,
Whose lance droops low with The weight OF
war,
Look past yon hills, whose crest bright summed is
With the last fond glance that the dead day
gives;
Upl let the voice of thy De ProfHndis
Thrill to those courts where no sorrow livesl
Soul, wilt thou love, where to love is losing?
Long wilt thou wander in ways that err;
Daily with hopes, that thy barren choosing
Finds feeting rs steps of wayfarer.
Wilt thou not turn and say to her spirit,
Lo that love thee will love no more?
This is hard thing that We inherit
love and q.
Out OF the depths Of the hearts despairing
Comes the long, passionate cry of love;
All, God but the cross is hard for the bearingi
All, GOd for the rest and the wings of the
doyel
All! that in that pure, faithful bosom
The dim, lost half of my life might liel
Ali that the bud might father the blossoml
shall these things be? Who knows? Not /.
Out Of the depths of the starlit distance
pale CLEAN shows where the moon comes up,
And here in the dregs of this strange existence
May lurk the sweetness that crowns the cup,
And faith and hope and the spirits patience
Strengthen the heart and Tighten the eyes.
All, SOUL my soul there is hope for the nations,
And God is holy, and iust and wise.
Go, then, my song, speak swiftly to her;
Sing to her, plead with her late and long;
Hover around her, and gently WOO her;
Perhaps she will hear thee some day, o Song!
Out of the depths OF the soul comes sorrow,
But out Of the depths of these days that cease,
May come, like light round the feet Of the NOR
Loves soft glory, our loves calm peace.

victory in Ohio, it must be remembered
that the Democratic party was not in pow
er in the National Government. This
success, he hoped, was only the harbinger
of a greater victory than yet awaited them,
when they should obtain control of the
Federal Government. He believed that
great reforms were to be accomplished by
the return of the Democratic party to
power. d
Reference had been made to the labor
intefcS 5 turing the evening. He believed
that The interests Uf the laboring man
should be protected The greater part of
the taxes were paid by them. He believ-
ed also, that the rights of capital should
be protected. There should be no con-
fict between labor and capital, and it was
the mission OF The Democratic party to be
a conservator of the rights of both. 1t
was the duty of the party to relieve both
labor and capital by reducing the expen-
ses Of the Government, and thus reduce
the taxes. 1t was part of their missien
to see that this was lone at as early a
lime as possible. II was their duty, more
over, as one of the fathers of the Repub-
lie had said, TO lock shields together and
unite In their efforts to redress the wrongs
and to correct the a5uses-of power into
which the country had fallen, and Sc pre-
SEM a purified Slate government as the
result Of the return TO power OF the Dem
ocraLic party. Il
After MIR. Converse had concluded, Mr..
Albright, Of this city, spoke briefly and
~eloquenJly. The meeting them dispersed,
WITH three cheers for the party and Its
success. g.

The Administration press, since the
result IL Ohio, is terribly worked up
about the salary grab. It puts the blame
of the late defeat squarely upon the
shoulders of the grabbites. We Rever
understood the enormity of the little
Congressional raid half SO well. Here is
the Cleveland HeraLd-exeellent Repub-
llcan authority-actually rending its linen
and railing at the President. Says the
oracle of Cheesedom:
at is well known 10 the readers of the
Herald, that we do lot rank the President
VINO signed the grab law with the Con-
gressmen who enacted that law, and we
have repeatedly given our reasons for the
distinction; but any man who knows Ohio
sentiment as to that law knows that had
President Grant signed that bill previous
to the sitting of the National Convention
that nominated him he could not have re-
ceived the votes of the Ohio delegation.
And we have no doubt had President
Grant signed that bill after his nominal
ton and before the Presidential electio on
day he wJuld have lost the electoral vote
of Ohio"
"We nave never been able TO understand
clearly why the Presidents responsibility
IN the salary matter was not deemed as
great as that of the average Congressman
We are a little hard of hearing, and the
HerGld's views on the subject escaped us,
Perhaps it will oblige us by restating
them? We make the request with some
assurance, for there is very little pressing
upon the editorial attention just now"
