PUBLIC men must pay the penalty of
their distinction by having all their acts
narrowly watched. No one can occupy an
eminence without being seen. Even their
private affairs, which, among obscure citi-
zens, are regarded as sacred, are certain
to become known, and form the staple Of
gossip. This Is what is probably meant
by poets who speak of the impossibility of
concealment Of the smallest circumstance
connected with the daily life of royalty
''in the concentrated ligh. which blazes on
the throne.o ts
What public officials suppose to be the
profoundest secrets connected with their
own converse with their fellow men is
generally known to everybody else as
perfectly as it Is to themselves. Whoever
consents to the elevation must submit to
this scrutiny. If their habits will not
endure it without loss Of reputation, they
would act wisely to decline public station.

INFLUENCE OF A DREAM.-Th Troy
Press says that the site of the State
street M. e. church, in that city, was
selected through the instrumentality of a
dream. DR.. John Louden, a prominent
physician, who died upward of fifty years
ago, was leading member and worker
of the Methodist denomination, and about
the time it was proposed to erect an edi-
flee in the vicinity of State street, the
good doctor dreamed that he saw flock
Of white doves alight on the lots at the
corner of State and Fifth streets. The
impression of the vision was SO vivid that
the doctor could not shake it off. He
insisted that it was good omen, and
that the church should be erected on the
lots above named. So strenuous was he
in this that he carried his point, and the
old State-street sanctuary was erected, to
give way in due time to the beautiful edi-
flee now located on the site of the old
brick structure.
