LAYING THE CORNER STONE OF METHO-
DIST CHURCH IN HARRISON, N. j.

Yesterday was white-page leaf Of history to the
Methodists Of Harrison, just opposite Newark, N.
j., being the occasion Of the laying Of the corner
stone OF q new Methodist church there. An assem-
blage numbering between four and five hundred
persons we're present. The venerable and rev.
erend Bishop James onlciated and preached an
interesting sermon, in the course OF which he
said that no greater duty devolved on
protesting Christians than to aid In spread
ing the influence or the church BY erecting
temples for the worship OF the Most High. The
ceremony Of laying q corner stone, he said, was no
less significant than mportant-sienincant a. the
foundation OF faith, it being embemstic OF tho
foundation stone of Christianity itself; and impoE-
tant as q means OF disseminating the truth and
the Word. He expressed sadness at the number OF
persons present. The other clergymen present
were Rev. j. NJ. futile, OF Watsessing; Rev. James
Ayers OF Montclair; Revs. Messrs. Nicholas Van

The good wife! How much of this
worlds Happiness and unhappiness is
contained in the compass of these two
short Words! Her influence is i'm
lnense. The power Of wife, for good
or for evil, is altogether irresistible.
Home must be the seat ofhappinesS or
it must be forever unknown. A good
wife is, to man, wisdom and courage,
and strength and hope; and endurance.
A bad one is confusion, weakness, dis
comfilure, despair. No condition is
hopeless, when the wife possesses
lirmness, decision, energy, economy:
There is no outward prosperity, which
can counterac: indoletces folly and ex.
travagance at home. No spirit can
long resist bad domestic influences.
Man is strong; but Ills heart Is not
adamant. He delights in enterprise
and actioi!; but, to Sustain him, he
needs a tranquil mind and a whole
heart. He expends his whole moral
force in the conflicts Of the world.
His feelings are daily lacerated, to the
utmost point Of endurance, by per.
petual collision, irritation and disap-
pointment. TO recover his equanim-
ity and composure, home NUT be to
him place OF repose, of peace, Of
cheerfulness; OF comfort; where his
soul fenews its strength, and again
goes forth, with fresh vigor, to encoln.
ter the labors and troubles ofth world.
But; If at home he finds no rest, and
tRt+e is met by d bad temper, sullen!
ness or gloom; or is assailed by dis
content, com plaint and reproaches, the
heart breaks, the spirits are crushed,
hope vanishes, and the man sinks into
total despair.

ministers at the very fountain Of life
and hap .,iness. 1t is her hand that

stancy are mainly instrumental in car
rying forward, to completion, the best
human designs. Her more delicate
moral sensbility is the unseen power,
which is ever at work to purify and
refine sHciety. And The nearest glimpse
Of Heaven, that mortals ever get on
earth, is that domestic circle, which

Mother will Pay when Pap comes

BY J. LESLIE.

My pap is down the river, YOU know;
He had no work and lie felt SO blue,
He thought he would take trip below,
10 sec If he could get something to do.
We want some soap 10 wash our clothes,
y little meal to make "pone:"
We have no money to pay today,
But mother will pay when pap COMES home.
AMI our rent was due two weeks ago;
suppose the landlord will want q stamp
Oh, my! but this is miserable tow-
Yes, here comes lahilord, heat his tramp.
The windows are Broken and the roof is bad
And over the walls the bedbugs roam;
But will not speak about that now,
For mother will phy when pap comes homo.
l would like pair OF shoes, also,
For you see that these are badly worn,
And would feel better in new hat, tob,
For this one, You see, is awfully torn.
would like a little extra change,
It some one would only give me ban,
anu sure it will be all right too,
For mother will pay whel, pap comes home.
or course we want 4 little wood
To bake our bread and fry our fish;
lfIcould Get tich-oh, if only could!
But surely this is i wicked wish.
But poot h,other is working so hard each day
Her body is worn to skin and bone;
But Heaven will bless the man who trusts
Mother to pay when pap comes home.

General Pope and Tom Scott.

A letter to the Chicago Tribune
SAYS: Did YOU ever hear the story OF
The first interview between General
John Pope and Colonel Thomas y
Scott, during the second year of the
rebellion? Scott was then Assistant
Secretary of War, and had occasion
to see Pope, stationed at Cape Gira-
deau, Mo-, on important business. AS
is we'll known, the General Is, or at
least was, not remarkable for courtesy,
and, in regard to profanity, he could
haze given the British army in Flan-
dees three points and then Have beat
ell them at theit 6wn ga,re:
Pope had His headquarters on a
transport, and was seated in the cabin
smoking, one anefn6on, when a rather
small quiet looking nian entered and
said:
as this Gen. Pope'"
That's my name, sir" in a loud
and hectoring tone.
81 have some business, Genetal-"
"See my Adjutant, then. l have
no time to attend to you"
But General, my business"
"D-}our business! See my Adult.
ant, c. you!
you don't quite understand Cen
eral-"
Don't understand! H -and d-!It's
you don't understand; for l have told
you to see my Adjutant, G-d-you!
half a-dozen times"
"My name General, is Scott, and"
"What the lido care what your
name is! If it's Pot, or Sot, or Rot, or
Idiot, as l suspect; its Of no conse-
quence 10 me, G-d-it ~
All this while the stranger preserved
his perfectly quiet, calm, modest de-
meanor, and Pope being nearly out Of
breath from tempcE and excess of pro.
family, gave him tirt!e to say. as polite.
ly as if the General had been polite
from the first:
II have the honor to be Assistant
Secreta+3 Of War, and the misfortune
General; 10 be unknown to one Of the
most urbahc and best bred officers in
the SetvicS of the United States"
The first part of the sentence had so
over@helried Pope that it is doubtful
ii he heard the singing i,ony oc the
remainder. His manner changed at
once, and he exclaimed: beg a thous,
and pardons, Colonel. I did not
know $ou; and am sure YOU would
pardoH my rudti!ess if YOU knew how
tremendously I lin bored by fellows
who insist upon seeing me because
they have lost a chicken; or cdn't col.
lect fifty cents from Union soldier.
Colonel Scott made no further re-
marks, but entered upon the business
in hand at once. During the remain
der Of his stay IN Pope's department
he was treated with the most distin-
guished courtesy.

Dissertations BY Max Adeler.

Nothing gives us more respect for a
man than to See him use temperate
language in discussing persons whom
he does rSt like. This is the reason
why we htVe profound regard for the
editor of The Lexington (Mo.) Caucas-
ian. He is man who restrains himself
when he feels mad: He was bitterly
opposed to the recent editorial .convrn:
tion in St. Louis, atd he said so; but
instead of denouncing it with violent
language, instead Of Hurting foul ep.-
thets at it, instead Of abusing the meri
bers and Safeguarding chem, and call
ing them vile names. and indulging in
indecent vulgarity, he chose better
ana more christian course. and merely
referred kindly but decidedly to the con
vention as IAN aimlesS and fruitless
catawampus of hincompoopic CAB.
salirts and rapsaclli6ns." And then, we
suppose, he had his head shaved and
went to bed. When such amiable gen
tlemen rs this control the press and
help I'd form public opinion, it would
be ridiculous not to expect the rapid
growth Of the American people in
Christian civilization.
When we were younger we used 10
contribute sentimental poetry to a
PAPER in the interior OF this State, and
any one WHO read it must have enter
tanned a conviction that the soul OF
the poet was narrowed by the most
awful STORM of conflicting passions;
that he %as a mlsetable, unhappy
victim Of reinorse, despair, blighted
affection and agonizing reg ret, to whom
death would have been happy relief.
And set, Immediately after writing a
poem Of the most heart-rcnding des.
cription, full OF melancholy and tears,
we have been known to eat half
pound Of sirloin steak, six fried onions
and hall mince pie. The last poem
we ever wrote for that paper was enti-
tied "Musing at Sunset" ind the first
yerss began in this manner.
as cat beside the window and gazed into
The daylight fell and vanished and all nature
sank to rest.
This was at the time that the soul OF
the poet was sufl'uSed by tenderness
for Miss Magruder. We knew Miss
Magrudsr would see the poem, and
we had &orded it in such manner that
we were certain it would excite emotion
in the heart OF the fair Magruder. But
failed to DO so, probably for tile reason
that when the paper came out, the
two lines had been transpostd by some
unscrupulous iiend of compositor so
that they read thus:
AS sat beside the window and grabbed her
by the waist
The delight felt was varniGEStl as the creature
drank my vest.
Then We went solenthly around and
killed the thmpositor, ard discontinued
our contributions to that paper: AS
Tor Miss Ma5ruder, she merely laughed
and all the other Magrudcrs laughed,
and we then turned our attention per-
manently to prose. Poetry is not safe
while type-setting is performed by
human beings instead OF machinery.
