Three tramps recently attacked an old
man, a boy about eighteen years of age,
and a young lady, at a farm house near
Donegal, Luzerne county, and desperate
encounter ensued, in which tlat-irons,
pokers, etc., were freely used. The thieves
were compelled to flee, however, before
getting any booty, the lady alarming the
neighbors by blowing tin horn and shriek-
ing murder.

one strong young arm, and said,

She gave him another searching
glance. Face and voice were too
grave and earnest to admit of doubts
or trifling, even had she been so
disposed. She only let her head
drop again to his broad shoulder,
and said, in low, clear voice:

comment<, 50 sensible and timely
that we honor them with editorial
reproduction. The developments Of
this Brooklyn tale OF sin and sor
row directing public attention very
pcintedly to the question of the re-
lation between the pastor end his
always more or less enthusel female
parishioners. The grave danger
to the clergynan, oad the still
graver danger 10 religion, which
may follow indiscretiou or want Of
acquaintance with human nature,
masculine OF feminine, demanded
that this matter meet tLe serious
consideration of the clergy and of
society. Any teaching, doctrine,
or usage which allows priest or
preacher, or anybody else, to step
in between husband aud wife, is
wrong and dangerous to society.
1t is based on socia! condition, hap
PLY gone forever, and which the
constitution Of American social life

not likely, however, that any direct
claim by any power or man or set
of men to regulate the family rela>
tions Of Americans will ever be se>
riously pushed the moment it is
resisted. The idea of the govern
ment of society and the grasp Of
power by such means belongs to Il
past age. the practical danger
now is in the thoughtleSs fostering
of unnecessarily private or conf
Dental relations between the cler~
gyman and the femininine members
of his flock, or in the exchange of
the lesser familiaritics which the
moral tone of modern society for
bids between the ordinary man and
woman.
The common custom, for in

first kiss at marriage, is a point
ed illustration. This usage dates
back to the time of feudal robbery

The Old American Aristocracy.

The most marked feature of colo
NAL society was its aristocratic
character. Our ancestors brought
with them tie notions of rank and
precedence which prevailed at home,
and even in those colonies which,
like the New England, were estab-
lished on a democratic basis, the arr
istocratic feeling of the superiors
was almost as strong as in the feuo
dal South and New York. Custom
gave privileges which the laws did
not recognize, and a comparatively
few families nonopolized official
dignities. John Adams, for instance,
mentions the Chandler family 'en-
crossed almost all the public offices
and employment in the town and
county of Worcester, Massachus~
etts It is well>known how the
Hutchinson kin filled the chief
places of public trust in that prov>
ince. In New York the Delanceys
and Livingstons were said to be
'the two great families upon whose
motions all their politics turn.
The aristocratic spirit of the Vir>
ginian magnates is proverbial to this
day. In South Carolina the gen.
try, We are told, were more numer-
GUS than in any other colony in
North America.
1t was common to see several off,
ces in the hands of a single person,
who perhaps was colonel of militia,
judge of probate, justice of the
peace, member of the legislative
body, etc. The colonial families,
however, were compelled to share
such distinctions with the favorites
of courtiers. A dignitary of New
York, writing in TAG of the low
rate of judicial salaries, which were
not enough to tempt an able lawyer
to leave his practice, fears that if
they should be raised some sorry
fellow x * = would be crammed
upon the colony because his patron
did not know what else to do with
him The Galaxy

They did, for there was a kiss on

the little brother and sister hugged
and kissed each other quite heartily.
