kind. 1t crops out in various
ways and in divers places. The
love of money, if not the root
Of all evil, OF the lever that
moves the world, is certainly
the most powerful lever that ev-
er operated upon the passions
of man. For instance, see the
following rumpus that it kicked
up in indianapolis the other day,
according to the Sentinel
"One day last week there was
a queer sight around the death
bed Of an. old gentleman on
Lord street. He has five or six
children, and but one of this
number is, to use the common
phrase, any account. While be
was endeavoring to sign a will,
the children fairly fought, so ca
ger were they to get the bulk of
his six or seven thousand doi-
lars. The old gentleman had
his second wife, but these un-
gracious step-sons most uncere-
moniously hustled her out. In
fact they raised such a racket
that it became necessary to call
in a police officer, who stood
guard until the old gentleman
breathed his last. By this time
the childrenhad got into square
knock-down fight, and two of
them were arrested for assault
and battery"

She Fell,

A Washington correspon-
dent of the Chicago Inter- Ocean
writes: "Not only is it slippery
outside, but indoors too, and at
one of the swell germans few
nights ago three couples fell on
the floor, polished not wisely
but too well. One Of the six
was the belle Of the ball--the
belle of every ball she graces--
tall ard stately and naughty.
What a fall was there! She
was leading; she was the
best dressed woman there; she
was the focus of admiration;
she caught her dainty foot in
another girls flounce, and while
the women were envying and
the men adoring her she tum-
bled, in confused heap oflaces
and flounces, and her partner, in
the middle of the room! She
was up in a moment, shaking
out her ruffied plunage and
swallowing the modification
with lovely smiles. But she
turned and looked at the girl who
tripped her; and, merciful heav-
ems, what q look!"

Making It Warm for Him,

The Burlington HdacEeye
says the other night a man who
lives out on Columbia street
was kept down town on busi-
ness until a very late hour, and
his wife, knowing how cold he
would be when he got home, put
an iron on the stove, and when
she heard him open the gate,
jumped up, and hurriedly wrap
ping the iron in a piece of fan
mel, chucked it into bed for him
to warm his great ugly feet by.
The man was cold, taciturn and
cross; he crawled into bed with a
growl, and shuddered with
cold as he stretched himself out.
Then he gave a yell that lifted
the roof of the house, and jam
med his head through the head
board, and screamed fire, and
WaltZed out on the HoOf ana
around the room in the dark,
straddlingrOcking chairs, break
ing his shins on bureau corners,
and knocking down brackets
with his shoulders, and upset
ting one or two things, and fill
ing the darkness with weird,
fantastic profanity. When his
wife lighted the lamp they dis
covered a beautiful photograph
Of a fiat iron on the bottom of
the mans foot, and it was found
that the flannel had somehow
got off the foot warmer. The
man says that hereafter, if he
must sleep with hardware, he
wants it put in the bed cold.

PSYCHAURA.
BY BUIDE.

The wind of winter midnight
Is mourning round my door
The curtains wave at the window,
The carpet lifts on the floor.
There are sounds like startled foot falls,
In the distant chambers now,
And the touch of airy fingers,
Is busy on hand and brow.
'Tis thus in the souls dark dwelling
By the moody host unsOught--
Through the chambers of memory wander
The invisible airs of thought.
For it bloweth where it listeth,
With murmur loud or low,
Whence it cOmeth-whither it goeth-
None tell us, and none may know.
Now wearying round the portals
OF the vacant, desolate mind
As the doors of ruined mansion,
That creak in the cold night wind.
And anon an awful memory
Sweeps over it fierce and high,
Like the roar of mountain forest,
When the midnight gale goes by.
And its voice subsidies in wailing,
And ere the dawning of day,
Murmuring fainter and fainter,
In the distance dies away.

STEADFAST To THE CHURCH.-A
very painful scene occurred in a
church in Bucks Township, Ohio,
a few Sundays ago 1t seems,
from the account given of the
affair by the d, yer Reporter. that
the church has lately been under
going repairs. Among other i'm
provemenrs, a new coat of print
was placed in the pews, followed
by coat of varuiSh. The result
was most pleasing TO the eye, but
unfortunately the Varnish had
been applied so late in the week
that it had not had time to be.
come hard before Sunday when
the congregation tfocked to their
seats. No apparent inconven-
ience WAS suffered until the 'cler.
gyman was about to deliver the
benediction, when the congrega
ton were Mortified TO find that
they were unable to stand up.
They were, in TACT, glu,d or rath-
er vanished to their seats. There
spasmodic efforts 10 rise were
most distressing to witness. In
vain did the clergyman exhort
them from the pulpit to resigna-
ton. They were seized with a
kind of panic, all the more fright
ful because they were for the mo
ment powerless. At last, by
what seemed TO be simultaneous
and herculean jerk, they man
aged to tear themselves from their
sittings, but at what sacrifice!
The pews were literally covered
with fragments Of Sunday appar-
el. Shreds of silk, lawns, calico,
broadcloth and cassimeres were
left as souvenirs of the tenacity
of the varnish used 10 beautify
ing the church, and the hapless
congregation, rushing from the
doors, hurried homeward with an
expession on their faces as though
their hearts were even more severe
ly rent than their garments.

Worcester dreamed twice, recent

night on the first anniversary OF
her wedding day, and so strongly
was she impressed with the Wis

paratiOns for her funeral, and
even gave sum of monay to a
friend to purchase mourning.
Her husband, becoming alarmed
at her condition, consulted 8
medical friend, stating all the
fnctsof the case. The astute d0ctcr.
after a minutes cogitation, dis

Telling the husband 20 keep the

narcotic which kept the lady
asleep till the dreaded moment
had passed. She is now in good
health, and joins with her friends
in laughing at her superstitiOus

How a Little Boy Died.

Enterprise of Jan. II has this
little paragraph "Little Eddie
Nye, who was run over by a
fiat car last Friday evening and
was SO badly injured that he
died next mornidg, was rare
bright child, and one Of the best
children in the city. Just be-
fore he died he sang The Beau
tiful River with o voice as
sweet as though he had caught
the tones from the softer shore,
on the brink Of which his soul
was then trembling. After the
song he repeated a little prayer
which his mother had taught
him. The child all his life had
a lisp, but this last prayer fell
from his tongue without a halt
or culver, but rather, steady
and clear, and yet with a far-otf
tone as though anOther's voice
ofinfnite sweetness had seized
upon his lips in the supreme
moment, to leave an echo in his
anguished mothers ears which
should last as long as life.
Shortly after the little prayer
the sunny eyes closed and little
Eddie was gone. On Sunday
his funeral attracted the whole
city, and there Yves not a dry
eye around the dear child's

troubles.
From the Boston Herald.
At the regular weekly meet
ing of the Methodist preachers
Of Boston and vicinity, held at
Wesleyan Hall, Tues lay after
noon, the recent difficulties in
Louisiana were discussed at
considerable length. Bishop
Bowman gave an account of
what ne knew about the treat
ment Of colored people in Loui-
siana, narrating number of in
stances in which they had been
shamefnlly abused, and deprived
of life, even. BY invitation,
Rev. b. |. Ives. Of New York.
addressed the meeting, and his
speech was of the most radical
kind. He declared there is al
together too much toadyism on
the part Of Northern people in
their treatment of the South.
lie said we are undertaking
now to coax the devil out of the
miserable whelps down South,
when nothing but strychnine
and cannon ought to be used.
Tie rather agreed with Phil.
Sheridan's declaration during,
the war, ''that if he had owned
hell and Texas, he would lease
out Texas and live in the other
place" Mr.. Ives administered
a castigation to the church, de-
claring that there is not a paper
in the Methodist Church that
dares to discussthe Civil Rights
bill, and ask that it be enforced.
He said he believed the meanest
rascals in the South arc in the
Methodist Church South. He
declared himself Radical of
the strongest kind, and said he
believed the more he hated the
rebels of the South, the more he
loved God.
lie declared he believed the
spirit now rampant in the South
has got TO be crushed out by
another war, and he longed for
the appearance of some coIored
man able to become a leader a.
mong his people, welding the
sword and torch. He said the
Bishops ought to come out pub
.licly and declare the whole truth
about the treatment of the COL
Ored people in the South, but he
didn't believe they would. If
they did, he knew they couldn't
return to the South, for if they
did they would be hung; but he
irtimated that it was no worse
to hang a Bishop than a minis
ter, but he suggested if it was
done it might wake up the peo-
pie quicker than anything else.
He thought the Bishops were
too tender-hearted, and they re-
minded him of the man who
wanted to cut off his dogs tail,
but he was too tender-hearted
to cut it off where it ought To-
be, so he cut it off an inch at a
time. The speech of Mr.. Ives
was received with frequent de-
mOnstrations Of approval, some
of his most radical utterances
exciting considerable applause,
mingled with laughter.
