To his utter astonishment Mr.. Pope found
the dead bear behind the barn, with the

When he went in and heard the whole
story from his wife, he fully realized that
something had happened in his absence,
and that he had more reason than ever 10
be thankful.

which induced the detectives 10 believe in
her completely with the abduction. Two of
Mosier's associates we're found In Balti-
more; and, afler strict examination,
found to know nothing about the kidnap-
ping. 1t was evident that Mosier had new
er confided the secret Of Charlie Ross's
hiding place 10 any one, not even to his
wife. The authorities were all al sea, ard
could do nothing except TO make ii for the
interest Of those with whom Charlie Ross
had been placed 10 restore him. The alb
ductors had met with their just punish
ment, though not at the hands Of the law !;
and the interest of the parents became par
amount. But though rewards were offer
ed for the return Of the boy, and "no ques-
tions," the search for accomplices in the
crime was not abandoned. The offer of
reward did not prove sufficient 10 bring the
boy back to his home, although it was made
in good faith. But, as the telegraphic dis
patches have shown from time TO time, a
man certainly concerned in the secretion
OF Charlie Ross has been brought TO JUS

sent to States Prison for seven years on a
charge Of completely in the abduction. He
has since preserved great reticc nee, and it
is morally certain that he knows much
more of the affair than the trial brought

Catholic houses be searched for the missing

ROMAN CATHOLICISM IN AMERICA
The notion that we are on the verge of
religious conflict is combated by T. w.
Higginson in a late number Of the Inde-
pendent, who quotes Emerson's sentence:
"Let no one quit his belief that pop-gun
is pop-gun, though the most ancient and
honorable of the earth should affirm II TO
the crack of DOOM" for the purpose of in
tmating that he considers this talk about
danger from the Roman Catholic church
one of the pop-guns. Irish emigration Is
check ed, the wave Of conversions among
educated New England Protestants is gone
long since, and ait has been repeatedly
shown by statistics, and recognized by the
admission of Roman Catholic priests them
selves, that this church has actually lost,
numerically, by the vast transportation
of its votaries to these shores; since their
total number, even as reckoned by the
church, is not so large as the immigrant
population, with its natural increase would
furnish. The few conversions made to
that church are carefully heraIded; but the
number that slip silently away from II and
are lost in the mass of Protestant popula-
tion, no one proclaims. This nation Is
thoroughly and permanently non-Roman
Catholic Every intelligent priest knows
this in his heart, and knows that, whatever
boasts he or his newspaper organs may
make, they must not so very far In their
claims, lest the ghost OF Native Ameri-
canism' or 'Know-nothlngism be raised
again." Then he points out that much OF
what has been called aggression in the Ro-
man Catholics has been really an honora-
BILE struggle for their rights in the cause OF
religious liberty. "While New Hamp-
shire declares them ineligible TO office, they
have no choice but TO resist by all honora-
BILE means such exclusion. When YER
mont expels Irish children from school
for a single days absence on a church fes-
tival, the Roman Catholic clergy would do
wrong 10 submit. When a Massachusetts
school committee requires the reading Of
the Protestant Bible In schools, or Rhode
Island committee refuses TO elect a teacher
because she Is a Roman Catholic, then
Protestantism puts itself in the wrong and
puts its opponent In the right. Up to this
time, most OF the demands Of the Roman
Catholic church have been reasonable; !;
and II, as now appears, they are beginning
to be unreasonable, there is no doubt Of
the result, and that church, like any other,
will learn its place.

The Two Songs.

Whe love was young, at Frightening morn,
While high above the yellowing corn
The glad lark shrilled, to her whose eyes
Seem cd homes Of radiant ecstacies
sang. The glory Of the time
Rang through the notes and ruled the rhyme.
The rapture Of the sun-kissed rose,
When hud-bound petals first unclose,
Spake from my lips. afire from those
Who's. sweetness thrilled my spirit through,
And the songs jubilsnt music knew
Joys impulse in each soaring strain,
Each cadence low, each glad refrain.
turned. Those eyes looked praise, and yet
Some shade Of fear or faint regret,
Like thin cloud DER sunlit stream,
Hovered . moment and was gone.
Ahl is It tina. dawns daring dream
Each soul must shape alone7
Sweet the caress that guerdon gave
For that glad songI Can shadows start
Beneath joys sun, or passion crave
Yet closer clasp than heart to heart!
The night was young, the night-bird's trill
Shook softlier than fAr-heard lutte
From that gray copse beneath the hill,
And then was mute!
Her head clAsped close above m, heart,
l sang-for that the words would start
From laden lips-a song as low
As Springs frst streamlet's timid flow;
Low, yet as happy as the tears
W hich fall unchecked from shining eyes,
when hope, outlasting sundering years,
AttAins its paradise.
Whispers Of trees, when storms have hed,
Bear such sweet burden; odors shed
By rain-washed roses through the night
Breathe such serene and sure delight
As this my song. might not see
Her eyes in that leaf-cumbered place,
But closelier drew her tender face
And pressed her heart to me:
And, through the silence and the dark,
There came @ gladness that the lark
Hath not song for. Loveth lives
Thro ugh sorrow such deliverance gives
From fear, its shadoE may not start
To chill the clasp OF heart to heart.

THEOLOGY AND BEER.-During the sit
tings OF the Sixth General Conference OF
the Worlds Evangelical Alliance in New
York two years ago, the great central fig
ure was DIR. Theodore Chrstlieb, Professor
OF Theology and Chaplain in the Universi-
ty of Bonn, Prussia. OF all the distin-
guished scholars both native and foreign,
he was the most sought after and admired.
When he addressed the conference the au-
dience was immense, and the thousands in
attendance listened with rapture and de-
light 10 his learned and eloquent speech.
His essay on the best methods of counter
acting modern in6delity was such a mas
terly production that he was requested to
repeat II in one of the largest churches in
New York, aud the desire to possess it in
permanent form was so great that Harper
& Brothers issued it in separate volume
in advance of the regular report Of the pro-
ceedings of the Alliance. As soon as 1t
made its appearance it received the un-
qualified commentator of the religious
press Of the country, and was extensively
circulated.
We do not know, however, with what
degree of approval the ultra religious press
and people of the country will look upon
the manner and the circumstances in
which the learned professor instructs his
students. A correspondent of a Washing
ton paper writes that he was recently in
vited TO social gathering of theological
students in a Bier Wertschaft near the
Rhine to meet the professor, who, it ap-

familiar talk al certain times on American
institutions. At half-past eight o'clock
the correspondent went in company with
others into private room, where the gath
ering was 10 take place. In the center of
the room there stood long table, upon
which The only ornaments were beer
glasses. ....t
| The glasses were so numerous, and the
fumes Uf smoke so dense, that the pious
| American came TO the conclusion that he,
and those who accompanied him, had got
I into the wrong place. But his mind was
at once disabused on this subject, for he
discovered that all the young gentlemen
present were "theologues," who were Will
ing away the time by slipping beer and
putting tobacco, waiting for the arrival Of
| the renowned Christian, who, on making
his appearance, was cordially greeted by
the students, and after returning their sal
utations, took his seat at the head of the
table, fright alongside of quart of the
foaming beverage" Grant-like, he imme-
diately 'took a cigar from his pocket, de-
libera;ely bit the end of, and forthwith
began to discuss the subject for the eve
ming, which was 'The religious sects Of

puff cigars, sip the foaming beverage, aud

gregationalism until half-past eleven
o'clock, when he bade them all good night
