THE GOOD CONFESSION.


THE GOOD CONFESSION.
The daughter of an English noble
man was providentially brought to the
knowledge of the truth rs it is in Jesus.
But her father sought by threats, 10y

tries and TO places ot fashionable resort

At last he resolved upon a final and
desperate expedient, by which his end
should be gained \ large company
OF the nobility were invited to SIS house;
it was SO arranged That during the tes-
tivlties the daughters of different noble
men, and among others this one, were

piled, she forfeited her good conscience.
aud returned TO the world; il she re-
fused compliance, she would be publicly
disgraced, and lose, beyond the possibil-
ity of recovery, her place in worldly so
ciety. 1t was dreadful crisis, bat with
peaceful confidence did she await it. At
last ner name was announced. All were
in suspense 20 see how the scale of des-
liny would turn. Without hesitation
she rose, and with calm and digniiied
composure took her place at the instru-
ment After moment spent in silent
prayer, she ran her fingers across the
keys, and then, with much sweetness.

panying her voice with the notes of tho

For worldly hope. or worldly fear.
Ii life so sool bc gone;
If now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
The memorable throne.
"No matter which my thoughts employ,

Ii. A. Blaisdell OF ST. Adams writes to
the Woman's Journal as follows: Truly,
the case here described is one that calls
loudly for remedy:
At the January term of the Franklin
County Supreme Court, girl sixteen
years of age was sentenced to the State
P.ison at hard labor for one year, time TO
he computed from said date, and 10 pay the
costs of prosecution, and to stand commit
ted until such costs be paid. Her crime
was the theft of dress which was recover
ed.
Truly the laws made by men are merci-
full to women and children So merclful
that they rule us with a rod of iron, and
when the penalty Of the law falls upon us,
where are the men to represent US? They
are never wanting when there are loaves
and fishes TO be obtained. What kind of a
law is it that Furnishes minors as though
they were of age? Where are our Reform
schools for girls, such as exist for boys ?
Are the shoulders of the girls broader TO
bear State Prison life? Or is the stigma
less, which will cling to them through life,
almost precluding the hope of reformation,
in the present stale of things2
When punishment does not prove re-
formatorv il is a failure, for if the object Is
not to reform the individual il is simply
revenge. Women, convicted of crime
should be under the supervision of judi
cious women, and have such moral and
business training as will tit them TO lead
honest lives.
Again-should not a certain amount OF
their earnings be reserved for them to have
at the expiration Of their term, so that they
will not be obliged 10 steal or repeat their
former acts of crime for want OF means or
employment Should there not be given
them some encouragement for good con-
duct? Coming back to the world they find
the good Samaritans few and far between
while others, gathering up their garments
pass by on the other side.
Women, have you nothing to say, moth
ing 10 do for your sisters?

Says a wit, last year | saw q watch

and even the big trees leave. l even saw a
plank walk, and q third-avenue bank run /;
but the other day saw tree box, a cat
fish, and stone fence. / am prepared TO

That was slap on poor husbands, ad-
ministered by the Reformed Episcopalians
the other day when some one proposed to
strike out of the marriage service the
words, with all my worldly goods l thee
endow," because in so many Instances the
goods are the wile's, the husband having
but himself to offer and the proposition
was adopted.

Walking Horses.

one of the most desirable and valuable
gats for horse is a walk, and it should be
the aim TO first develope this gait in the
always make good time on the road when
days journey is to be made, without
woarying himself, while the slow moper
must be constantly kept on the trot if
time IS to be made. A horse that will
walk five miles per hour will 20 as far in Il
day, confined to this gait, As an ordinary
horse can be driven when kept half of the
time to the trot, and with much greater
case 10 himself. If one half the pains were
taken by farmers boys to make fast walk
ers Of the youngsters on the farm that is
usually taken TO make them trot, the re-
suit would be much more beneficial, and
we would find plenty of teams that could
do their five miles an hour with ease. But
instead of this, as soon as the colt is brI-
died, the sole aim of"the boys" is to make
trotter of him, and both gsits are spoiled.
Make the colts walk, boys; make them
extend themselves in a long, sweeping,
square walk, and don't be satisfied with
anything less than five miles an hour.
When he gets TO trottinS he will go all the
faster for this preliminary training to the
walking gait, and if he cannot trot fast
enough TO beat Dexter or Goldsmith Maid,
or Occident, he will have gait that is in
valuable for business purposes. We hope
TO see more attention paid 10 fast walking
than heretofore, and we respectfully urge
upon agricultural societies the importance
of Offering liberal prizes for walking horses
at the fairs for the coming year.-Nationdl

ers, have some foundation
Six weeks ago seven male Indians aud
young Indian woman started 10 cross Clear
Lake near the northern cad, in small
boat, which was capsized three miles from
land. They righted it, but as the lake
was rough they could not bail It out, and
while full Of water it would not support
more than one person. The men put the
girl in and held on to the edges Of the
boat, supporting themselves by swimming
till exhausted aud chilled through by the
cold water, and then dropping oil, sank one
by cue. They showed no thought Of dis
putting the young woman's exclusive right
to the boat. She was saved 10y their lr-
sacrifice.

A LEARNED RICAN.-Professor Bly,
den OF Liberia, the most learned of Afri-
cans, aud probably equal as linguist TO
any of our college professors of the United
States, has recently arrived in New York
from Nonrovia. Probably there is no per-
son living so thoroughly acquainted with
Liberia and western Africa as Professor
Blyden, portion of the later years of his
life having been devoted to careful explo-
rations in that country. The Professor is
an eloquent speaker, and if his services
could be engaged as a lecturer on the regu-
lar winters course, we might expect from
him the most interesting lecture of the sea-
son, All would be interested ia hearing
an authentic account Of the only Transact
lantic colony that has yet been established
10y the people of the United States. We
should he happy TO learn that the Professor
had consented to enter his name upon the
list of lecturers for this country the com.

A WONDERFULLY CHEAP LIGHT.-John
Ruthven OF Quebec, Canada, has invented
a Gas Machine, which, from all that men
of Intelligence can detect, is destined 10
work an entire revolution in the methods
of supplying light for buildings, cars,
steamboats,, or even for producing heat for
small cooking, and for many other purpos-
es. The light is produced by passing air
through petroleum. Ninety-fve per cent.
of what burns is airi five per cent only is
petroleum. The machine, which may be
placed in the cellar, or other part of
dwelling or store, or basement of hall or
church, costs from $1,000 To $4,000, accord
ing 10 its capacity. The cost of one that
will keep so burners in full blast, will not
exceed $4,000 and will last for years. Once
year 1t may be replenished with petro-
leum, and large dwelling can he lighted
an entire year for an expense not exceed
ing IS. The light is said TO be white, clear,
beautiful and in all respects superior.
