THE MISCHIEF MAKER.

THE MISCHIEF MAKER.
by JOSEPHINE POLLARD.
This is dali enough work" said a dear little
. With the fragrance of June in her breath;
sOf living on rose leaves and taking my ease
Pm just about tired to death
Dear, mel
I'm lust about tired to DEATH,
"'I can't raise the wind in this poky old place."
Said the breeze, with dolorous sigh;
So my quarters I'll change, if it brings me dis.
grace
must have a blow out or die
Dear mei'
Said the breeze, with a dolorous sigh.
So the zephyr quite out of her latitude falls,
And in search Of adventure goes forth,
Receiving some hints as to tempests and squalls
From her friends at the East and the North,
Who say:
You'd better keep north. east-by-no1th."
She found small spark with the tiniest glow,
And declared it would be great shame
To let it die out just for want Of blow
So che famed it up into flame.
All, met
Such beautiful, terrible flame
1t lcaped and it cracked and still the breeze blew
And thought 1t was capital fun
To see the black smoke, as it gathered and grew,
And put out the light Of the sun.
"Just see,'
She exclaimed, what deed have donep
But she wearied at last Of her frolicsome rout
And the joy of her turbulent reign.
How wish that this wretched old fire was out,
And I in nv ouartcrs again
Dyes,
In my nice, cosy quarters again."
But the fame she had kindled with vigorous
breath
To her bidding refused to give heed,
But went hurying on in its dance of death,
And mockingly laughed at her deed
"Ahap
How it Knocked at her ignorant deed
- Dear me,v said the zephyr, now where shall
60
To hide my disgrace and my shame?
Ali little thought that such ruin would grow
From the spark that famed to flame
Dear mel
And nobody else is 10 blamel
This caution give to all breezes that blow,
And to people who gossip about
Be careful Of sparks, lest you kindle glow
That you'll find very hard to put out
Just sec
What came of my little blow out'!"

who deliver not merely their own thoughts, but

Inv which we can compute the sum OF the re-
snlt. The good resolutions formed, the evil
nurnoses relinouished, the hearts quickened
TO higher ends and softened to works oi
charity and kindness, Oh every Sunday in this
oourtry ara simply past our imagining. The
n,us;c Of tho thousands of bells that fill the
air of the morning is an audible ana eVideh'
expression of q common sentiment as sweet "S

mony in the millions of prayers ascending AZ
the same moment from the earth bearing inc
unutterable sorrows and aspirations OF men.
T. NAV be said that Sunday amusementS VIII
not interfere with the rest and the worship 10
which the day has been hitherto devoted, But
il is sufficient answer to this, first, that the
prevalence of such amuscments has direct
tendency to diminish church going, especially
among the young, who could hardly be eX-
pected to resist the temptations held out to
them by pleasures which appeal to their
strongest inclinatiOns. And secondly, if such
amusements become general they will employ
vast number of persons, to whom Sunday
will cease at once and finally to be day OF
rest. The Just instinct of irrcligious people
leads them to allow certain degree of rcpose
on Sundays to those whom they employ. Tho
community ought to allow to its servants, who
furnish its diversions, the same opportunity
for rest and recreation The little additional
money they would earn by playing every night
in the week would be but poor compensa-
ton for what they would lose. In their inter-
est as well as in that of the public good, we
hope that the attempt to secularize our Sun
days may not succeed. 1t is hostile to all our
traditions The Christian Sunday Is as much
an Anglo-SaxOn possession as trial by jury
1t would be q national calamity to see tive
will not say desecratcd but-degraded.
The law, for the enforcement of which so
many of our best citizens now appeal, was
passed a few years ago in view of the rapid
increase and dcmOralzing influence Of Sunday
theatricals chiefly of q low character, and at
tended by large numbers of the young of
both sexes. On an appeal it was affirmed by
the Supreme Court, and we know not why, 80
long rs it remains upon the statute book, it
should not be enforced like any other law.
Many of the proprietors of respectable theaters,
and far greater number of the artists en-
poyed by them, will heartily favor it.
New-York tribune., 1874-11-28

suits the genius of the American people to
" help themselves than to depend on the State"
Doubtless when the hungry crowd of legis-
lators that is now assembling at Washington
begin to comprehend that Postmaster Jewell
intends not merely to talk about reform, but
actually to effect it, there will be frantic efforts
to thwart his undertakings. He has no light
work before him in meeting the combl-
nations that will be formed against him,
when he proceeds TO cut off the excrescences
Of his Department, to turn out OF it the IN
competent employees who owe their places to
political favor and to reduce expenses by
rigid economy. But he will be supported by
strong public sentiment, so long as he sticks
to the principles of simple business honesty
which he has proclaimed.

TIE TENDICT.

The jury in the Conspiracy trial has acGuit-
ted Williams and disagreed upon the other
prisoners, the division standing four for con-
viction and eight against. The result is dis
appointing in one sense but i'll another it is
only what the public has been prepared for.
We presume That no intelligent man out of
Washington doubts what the verdict ought to
have been, and what it will be on the next
trial if the prosecution is allowed to DO Its
work without government interference. Wit
nesses were put out of the way, the principal
accused berson himself being allowed to usurp
the functions of the District Attorneys Office
The President threw the weight of his per-
sonal influence against the prosecution. The
Presidents relative, Marshal Sharp, selected
the talesmen with such art or with such luck
that q considerable number of the jury turned
ont to be more or less closely connected with
the District Government, in whose interest
the bogus burglary was committed. We do
not suspect these jurymen OF conscious dis
honesty, but that their natural bias was
strongly in favor of the prisoners can hardly
be questioned.
Again it was the misfortune Of the prosecu-
ton that it was compelled to use witnesses
whose characters would not stand the test Of
rigorous inquiry. The case was founded upon
the testimony of acconplces in the crime, and
of course the instruments chosen to aid in q
conspiracy Of this kind were not gentlemen
who would have distinguished themselves
as superintendents of Sulday-schOOls. If it
was impossible to destroy their credibiity-
and it must be admitted that the evidence of
Hayes and Zirruth was clear, consistent, and
apparently straightfOrward-it was easy enough
50 to befOul their reputation that a sympathetic
jury would have fair excuse for pretending
not to believe them. Upon the whole it is
rather creditable to the jury that so many as
four Of its members were ready to convict.
A new trial has been ordered, and we hope
it may be resolutely pushed. We arc not
sanguine as to the result; but even if there
should again be failure to agree, or an abso-
Lutte acquittal, the new trial may expose as
this one has done, some of the back secrets
of the Safe Burglary affair which involve per-
sons Of much greater consequence than either
Harrington or Whitley.
