PAT IN THE SToCKs.- In past times (and
not very long past,) when the "stocks" as a
mode of punishment, was wont to be admins
tered in "Merry England"-a punishment by
the way, the ignominy of which was in its
ludicrous character-a breach of the Sabbath,
during the hours of divine service, was deem
ed cause, and cause sufficient for the summary
inAiction of said punishment. An Irishman,
one fine Sunday forenoon, while sauntering
among the green fields and babbling brooks
in the vicinity of a country church, was seized
upon by the "lookouts" before he was aware,
and instantly hauled to the instrument of
correction, which stood by the roadside, not
far distant His neither limbs were accommo-
dated to the machine, and he was, like Sir
John Moore, ''left alone in his glory" 1t so
happened that friend and countryman of
poor Pat presently "came that way" and
attempted, like the good Samaritan of old,
to administer comfort and consolation. He
inquired what it was that Pat had been do
ing to get into such scrape. The latter in
stantly replied, can, by the powers! I've
done nothing at all, at all, and they built my
legs into this wooden WALL" "But they can
not put you in for nothing at all, Indignantly
replied his friend "Be the power but 1 AM
IN" rejoined poor Pat, leaving faint conv'c-
ton upon the mind of his symathizer and
countryman that Pat was correct in his con-
clusion.

ATTEMPTS TO IMPROVE THE GOSPEL
The American Church at this time is divided
into two classes those who are lecturing on
the best modes of preaching and those who
are lectured to. Boston University, Yale,
Princeton and Union Theological Seminaries
have had especial instruction on this subject,
and these lectures have been reported in re-
ligious and secular journals till we have every
opportunity of being intelligent.
After reading much of all this, we can see
no better way than that Of Paul or Christ,
namely, the emphatic presentation of Re.
wards and Punishment. We cannot do all
this work by perpetual talking about love.
While the sinner stays in his sins, God is not
at peace with him. God is angry with the
wicked every day. The God Of our modern
sentimentalist is an imbecie, who lets his
creatures run over him and spit in his face.
The God of the Bible is God of justice as
we'll as mercy. He is not the author of this
modern religion of soft solder. Unless man
is born again, he will not come within ten MIL
lions miles of heaven. Our advice is, there
fore not only to layn,en to believe III CHRIST
that they may reach heaven and escape hell
but also to ministers that they quit comPro'
missing the gospel, lest Notwithstanding their
diplomas and licensures to preach, they them
selves become castaways-1at'nags.

For goodness sake quit lettering around the

when you get few dollars ahead, don't 20 to

Evils OF SELF.PRA1sE.-There is no surer
soul.death, no more inevitable paralyzing of
worth and force than selfexaltation and self
praise. The shadow of self blight's growth,

men in some aspects almost great, in others
pitifully small, because they w Will not stana
out of their own shadow. There are men
who have the ability and the will to perform
the most valiant service for one and another
great cause, who are wise, brilliant, eloquent
who yet have been Of little or no worth to

but after preparations for the burial
had been made Wynn was notified
by Father O'Rielly that he would op.
pose it, if necessary by force. The re-
mains were deposited temporarily in
vault in Forest Cemetery, where they
now are, and Wynn applied for an in
junction to prevent interference with
the interment. Father O'Riclly, in an
swer, sets forth that the cemetery is
under control Of the bishop Of the do
cese Of Cleveland, and that the rules of
the Catholic Church make it obligatory
upen the bishop or his representative
to refuse to permit to be interrel there
in any person of whom full proof of

they died in full communion; that Mrs.
Wynn had for long time prior to her

Roman Catholic Church, and died out

A HAPPY Family.

The San Francisco papers tell us of a
poor Missouri family who found them
selves perfectly destitute in San Fran
cisco, and also found friends in the hour
of their greatest need. Such incidents
are pleasant to read of, and the recital
always puts us in = better humor with
humanity, no matter how content and
self-satisfied We may be. A poor man
Of forty or thereabouts, thinly clad
and starved-looking, went to the wharf
one evening and inquired of long
shoreman for vessel going to Mendo-
Gina. It was getting late, the man was
shivering with cold, and conversation
ensued between the two poor men.
The stranger said he Was from Missou-
ri, and had with him , family consist
ing of \ wife aud eight children. The
wife and children soon came up: they
were al shivering and starved-looking.
The man sa,d he had expected
to find friends in San Francisco,
but ascertained that they had gone
to Mendocina. The family had been
obliged to sell all the clothing they had,
except the thin covering they had on,
to buy food. They had no money and
no place to sleep, and the night wind
was coming chilly and cold from the
sea. No vessel was going that night.
The longshoreman was touched in q
tender place. He was rough, but he
understood human nature; saw that
large, clinging family in distress, and
took of his hat and put his heart and .
dollar in it. He carried round the hat
among his fellows, all poor, and in few
minutes collected $50, which he handed
TO the distressed NissouIian. The man
was surprised and overcome With emo
