III Dare Not. !"

a group of boys stood on the walk before
a fine, large drug store, pelting each other
with snow>bslls In an unlucEy moment,
the youngest sent his spinning through the
frosty air against the large plate glass of the
druggists window. The crash terrified them
all, but none much as the little fellow who
now stood pale aud trembling, with startled
eyes, gazing at the mischief he had wrought.
Wont old Kendrick be msd1 Run,
Ned we won't tell. Run, quick"

Run, tell you he's coming Coward
Why don't you run! l guess he wouldn't
catch me ~

Little fool he'll be caught! Not spunk
enough to run away Well, I've done all
can tor him" mutfered the older boy.
The door opened; an angry face ap>
peared.
WHO did this ?" came in fierce tones
from the owners lips. "Who did this,
say ?" he shouted, rs no one answered.
The trembling, shrinking boy drew near !;
the little delicate-looking culrrit faced the
angry man, and in tones of truth replied:
IL did it. sir"
'Aud you dare to tell me of IT."
81 dare not deny it, sir; l dare not tell
lie
The reply was unexpected The stern
man paused; he saw the pale cheek, the
frightened eyes wherein the soul of truth and
true courage shone, and his heart was
touched.
Come here, sir what's your nome ?"

make my mother pay it, sir 20
will you shovel my walks when the next
snow falls ?"
Ned's face was radiant ms he answered:
"All winter, sir; I'll do it every time and
more too, sir IN do anything"
"Well, that's enough and do You know
why let you off 50 easy? We'll, it is be-

The Origin of Hail Columbia"

In the "Recollections of Washington"
just published, occurs the following auOc-
dote:
The song of Hail Columbia adapted in
measure to the PRESIDENTS March, was writ
ten by James ElopkinsOn, of Philadelphia, in
1898 A that time war with France was
expected, aud patriotic feeling pcrvHded
the community. Mr.. Fox. young singer
and actor, called upon Hopkinson one morn
ing aud said To morrow evening is ap-
pointed for my benefit Mt the theatre Not a
single box has been taken, and | fear thero
will be n Thin house. If you will write mo
some patriotic verses 10 the tune nf the pres.
idents March feel sure of a full house -
Several about the theatre have attempted IL,
hut lhcv have come to the conclusion that Il
cannot be done vet you may succeed Mr..
llorkjnson retired 10 his study. wrote tho
first verse aud chorus. and submitted them 20
Mr.. Fuy, who sung them 10 a harpsichord
nccnmuanimcnt. The tune and words hBr~
m0ul2ed. The song was soon finished aud
that evening the young actor received it
The next morning the placards announced
that Mr.. Fox would give a new patriotic
song. The house was crowded-the song
Was sung-the audience delighted Eight
times it was called for and repeated, and.
when sung the ninth time, the whole au-
dience stood up nud Joined in the chorus
Nirht after night Hail Columbia was APP
pHuded in the theatre. and in n few DAYS
was the universal song Of the boys in the
streets. Such was the origin of our national
song, Hail Columbia"

nent members Of the Cabinet has been President
Of the Chamber Of Commerce, that measures OF
commercial, fiscal and financial policy will neither
be neglected by the government nor be in opPosi-
ton % the views of business men. This promises
some definite action in the not very distant future,
and is SO far encouraging.
But by far the most singular portion Of this
exposition Of the . Policy of the Administration -
Is the twenty lines devoted TO the allimportant
subject Of religion, - and here the writer, having
evidently gone a-fshing in strange waters and got
beyond his depth, founders painfully. Those
readers who happen to be believers in " the great
religion Of Christianity, :" are comforted with the
assurance that they actually have the sympathy
Of the Administration, which is quite willing to
admit that, take it all together, Christianity
.'seems 10 adapt itself to all chimes and TO all
races, and to commend itself equally to the intel
lect Of the philosopher and to the untutored mind
Of the peasant" This, and much more Of mere
twaddle, coupled with the extremely needless init
nation that the Ministers have no intention of in
terfering with freedom of conscience or, what is
quite as entirely out of the question, of diverting
government funds to s~ectarian purposes,-had all
been much better left unsaid. 1t incurs the risk
of giving offense to some,-be deemed an attempt
to patronize religion while at the same time hold
ing it in i~lI-disguised contemplated this from a
professed Christian editor
And here we conclude our review. Seriatim, of
all the Ga1ene's points of Policy of the Admin
~istratiOn - the short paragraph at the end being
merely a pOetical flourish and a somewha pretty
allusion to the approaching millennium, the prin-
cipal promoters of which appear to be Minis
tiers of State, Ministers of the Gospel, and last,
though not least, the Press" And SO ends the
GGzetfe's first Essay on Ministerial policy. Sue
ceeding chapters will be looked for with some
interest.
