OLE In THE RAIN .

round little face, peepng out Of a shawl,
That was trying TO cover 1t dimples and all,
A fat little hand pushing sturdiiy up,
And catchlpg the drops 10 its mite Of cup
And frolcsome baby that didn't complain,
Though mamma and he were out in the rain.
The ferry boat jerked itself Into the slip,
And down came the shower u pelt and a

While the dainty young gentlemen stared at
With feeling quite mildly expressed by sur

But twas fun to the baby, and once and
again
He laughed his delight al the beautiful rain.
There were women with bundles and men
with cigars,
There were boys around with Heralds aud
Stars,
There were crowds going up and crowds going
down,
And faster the deluge poured over the town;
And baby was fortunate, wrapped up In
He tugged at 1t bravely with struggle ant

It hindered his seeing enough of the rain.

That dear little mamma must find such a boy
An armful 10 carry, weight on her shout

But day by day growing tiny bit older;
Her pride and her comfort. She didn't com

As she bore you so cheerily home in the rain.
Once there, how she would loosen that magca

That had fastened SO precious prisoner In;
And golden curls tumbled and cap all awry,
And rumplsd and crumpled, uut. happy ant

Would sch you once more on the two Lt,l

PLYMouru CHuRcH RsNrALs.-The 'Tri,


bupe' says 'Plymoth Church, Brooklyn,
was crowded the other evening at an early
hour on account Of the annual rental to the
highest bidders Of the pews and aisle seats.
1t was scarcely 81 o'clock when Mr. Beecher
opened the proceedings by introducing to the
5000 persons present the auctioneer. Mr..
Beecher briefly stated the terms Of rental,
such as the payment being required semi an.
nually in advance; no bids to be accepted
from those in arrears; the pews and seats to
be rented with the understanding that if not
occupied at least ten minutes before the
opening Of the services they may be assigned
to strangers. He also stated that he had re
ceived of late many invitations from the En-
glish Society and other people across the
Atlantic to visit the mother country and
preach in some of the churches This, how
ever, he thought he would not do this year,
unless forced to leave Plymouth Church by
the pew holders.
Mr.. Hoyt then asked what he was offered
for the first choice. TWAS accorded Mr..
OviRgton, who gave $400 for pew 81. Then
in rapid succession followed Il. Bowen, who
took pew SO for 1886; A. M. Shepard, 100;
$500; Mcdonald d Hatch, l02, 1895. Then
the bidding was conducted with much spirit
for nearly three hours, high at first, then
low, again with an upward tendency, closing
at So. The rentals for 1873 amounted to
$50, ,30l, and last night the bids footed up
i $59, ,430, or about $l29, more than the pre-
vious year. This was highly satisfactory to
Mr.. Beecher and the members, who hailed
it as an evidence Of undiminshed faith in
| their pastor

Is IT A RAPUBLIc 2-They have curious
ideas of Republican form of government over
In France. When Louis Napoleon was dri-
ven from France and Republic was proclaim
ed,nlany people grew enthusiastic over the pros
pect OF free government reigning where 80 long
despotism had held power. But Republic III
France does not by any means signify the same
as a Republic with us. Criticism Of tile gov
ernment 10 not allowed aud a fres press forbid
den. The millions Of people have so little voice
In the government that 1t amounts tn nothing
and now the soldier President General Mac
Mahon has succeeded 10 getting law passed
by the assembly giving him tho powor OF no.
minating the Mayors of the different munich
palities of France. This is as thoroughly al
anti-repubIican measure as any that could have
been carried under the Empire. IL deprives
the people of the different com nunes, number
| ing over seventy thousand, of all right to choose
their own magistrates, and makes those officers
simply the plant tools Of the central govern
ment at Versailles. The difference tetWeei
| the present Government and that of LOUIS Ma
poleon, is little, If any, more than name.

Nix, PArriSoToN ON KANsAs.-Mr. Shilla-
ber, In describing Visit from the talkative
Mrs. Paftngton TO his editorial sanctum re-
Gently, says:
We asked her what her opinion was on the
Kansas question. "They eau be cured" said
she, firmly, "though they are very painful and
iriigatlng, etthey eau be drawed out by plas- :
tiers. They are humorous things, and may be
iradiated by proper remedies Heaven help
US, she was thinking Of eroi icating cancers
We looked at her wiki surprise, mingled with
admiration. Hcre was an instance of sublime
simplicity Here was one who knew nothing
OF he Kansas question: Whose mind was yet
fresh from the pollution of''hor,ler rufians" or
"squatter sovege'gldy,' and we vowed that
such mind, tls uoe0ntaminated, Was a trea-
sure indeed. We looked on her as she sat
there, but said noting. Like Ensign Stebbings
.ltef his Fourth dfJuig dinner, we we're too
fun 10 speak.
