Rev. Il. A. Thornton.
Clergymen; arc seldom the objects OF earthly
honor They DO not labor for it, and care little for
anything beyond the faithful performance OF their
duties. They die, and the virtues they possessed
looked upon rather as part of their ONCE than
as qualities striven for with pain and exercised In
face of the strongest trials. When this rule vio-
lated and honor is spontaneously given to clergy
man after death, the possession by him of extra0r-
binary virtues is indicated. The death of the Rev.
Father e. A. Thornton OF the Troy diocese, At New
port, N Y, and the great reverence for him shown
by the Catholics of Troy calls out these remarks.
Father Thornton was'a compa ratively young man.

OF clergy, headed by the Right Rev. Bishop
McNeirny, were present, the aged and revered
Father Havermans, who acted as celebrant of tho
mass, delivering the funeral sermon. His discourse
was manly upon the character OF the coed priest,
OF whom Father Thornton was the exemplidcatton.
The reverend father concluded thus:-

HANDY USES FOR POSTAL CARDs.-A

Is nothing "mean" in such a use of
postal cards. but rather positive ad.
vantage, since on one side will be the
acknowledgment of the receipt of money
or order, and on the other the evidence
OF the date when it passed through the
mails. This reviyes the old advantage
OF writing letter on single sheet of
paper, folding it. writing the address on
the outside, and mailing it to It's place of
destination. According to this method
the OFFICIAL post office stamp showed
when and where the letter was mailed.
On the introduction of envelopes this
advantage was lost, since the writing
was on one piece of paper and the direc-
ton and stamp on another, and there
being no connecting link between them.
the actual mailing of letter in an en-
velope is very hard to prove.

1t is one of the most difficult things IN
the world to tell an indiscreet friend OF his
faults in such a manner as ut once TO admOn-
ish him Of his danger from them and refrain
from exciting in him such a sense OF humlll-
alton or resentment at the reminder as may
tend rather to his defiant persistence than
grateful reform and yet more difficult Is 1t
to advise husband or wife of the others de-
fects without producing almost the exact con
trary of the saving effect intended. In fact
the matrimonial state, whatever its internal
discordanees, involves TO the very last an as
similative ins tinct of ''oneness which makes
any condemn ation of either pa rtner to the
other virtual ly the same as accusation OF sell,
and conseq uently an instigatlon more TO
angry perveAsity than to thankful avail
ment. The present so oeial sensation at Al
toona, Pa, according to the Tribune there
of, seems to be such an illustration OF this
truth as may be obsery ed to advantage by
many OF the volunteer censors OF private
neighborh)ods. Three ,Tears after young
manufacturer had broug bit fair bride from
the West to reside in II village near the
town just mentioned, the friendly neighbcrs
thought that they perceived in the lady 5
manners in society tendency to light-mlnd-
edness, OF which her apparently unconscious
husband should take more cognizance.t From
what they esteemed the most beneficent mo-
tive in the world, some Of them proceeded
thereupon to gossip of the matter so loudly
that the young man should BE- sue to hear
of it. The effect was this ; Both husband
and wife heard it, and W lille the former
was at once miserably tor tured and made
through Indignation to assume an appearance
of Indifference thereby, the latter became
more frivolous in her conduct than ever

WEARING a NEw Boor-It Is a little sin
gular how well pair Of boots can be made
to fit at the store. You may not be able to
get your foot only part way down the leg at
the first trial, but that is because your stock
ing is sweaty, or you haven't started right,
and the shoemaker suggests that You start
again and stand up to it, and he throws in
little powder from a pepperbox to aid you.
And 50 YOU stand up and pound down your
foot, and partly trip yourself up, and YOUR
eyes stick out in a unpleasant manner, and
every vein in your body appears to be on the
point of bursting, and all that while the
dealer stands around and eyes that operation
as intentlY as if the operation was wholly
new and novel 10 him. When Your foot has
finally struck bottom. there l. q faint mpres-
sion on your mind that You have stepped into
an open stove, but he removes 1t 10y solemnly
observing that he never saw n boot fit quite
as good as that. You may suggest that your
toe presses too hard against the front or that
some of the bones in the side of the foot are
too much smashed. but he says this is always
the way with a new boot, and that the trou-
BE will entirely disappear in a few days.
Then you take an old pair under your arm
and start for home as animated as o relic Of
1872, all the while feeling that the world
will not look bright and happy TO YOU again
until YOU have hraincd that shoemaker. lol
limp down town the next day, and smile all
the while with your mouth, while your eyes
look as if You va, walking over an oyster
bed barefoot. When no one Is looking
you kick post or some other obstruction,
and show a fondnes> for stopping and resting
against something that viii sustain your
weight. When you get home at night and
g for those old boots with an oagerness that
can not be described, and the remarks that
You make upon learning that your wife has

The ARKANSAS GIRL HoRsE-THIEF- NIollie
Sherwood is the name of a girl who has been
running around Arkansas in trousers. and
who was recently arrested for stealing horse.
She is a pretty blonde, and isabout H. Three
years ago her brothers placed her ont at
work at hotel in Mlensyille, but as the
work was distasteful TO her she donned boys
clothing, and, under the name of Bill Hen
derson, got situation as post-boy. She
carried the mail for year without her sex
being suspected, but, being found out. she
ran off and worked on a farm, and afterward
in livery-stable Here the men and boys
doubted her masculine pretensions, and, to
escape their banterings, she tearfully pro-
tests, she took horse and made off She
didn't rsean to steal, and intended to return
the horse, but the sheriff thinks that the re-
volvershe drew when he arrested her did not
become an innocent girl who merely borrow
ed horse for temporary use. 4 local paper
says she was great iayorite while she was
pust-bOy. and it was always deemed sin
gular that rich and aristocratic young men
should take 50 much interest in a penniless
boy who carried letters for living.

hind leg, glanced from the bone and dropped
into the pail. At this the COW stepped over

RAIrH WALDO TO TIE CHILDREV.-A few
DAYS ago Mr. Emeison addressed these words
to the pupils Of Boston school " / wish
TO say one word OF two to the boys and girls.
Everything depends upon You and YOU alone
in the future. hope You read the right
books am afraid there are too many story
books. too many newspapers that the young
people do not read quite as good books As
their fathers did. At the same time wish
to say to the hoys, let them read Scott. let
them read Plutrch, let them read Mrs Edge
worth's stories. There is a noble life that
vou will have 20 read or ought to read-the
life of Sir Philip Sidney, that hero and pat
tern of the times and age in which he lived.
His friend, his lover, Lord Brooke, says of
him that in youth, as a child he had the same
bearing and carriage As a man that in hi
youth there was nothing to distinguish him
from the man who afterward was the hero OF
Europe. The same gravity, the same solidity
belonged to him then as aiterward. IL i, re-
