Give the Boys n Chance,

| Ii any class of the community should
have chance, says sensible writer, it is
the boys. They are to continue longer on
the stage than any others, and the welfare
of society Ia peculiarly bound up in their
right starting and training. Particularly
ought they to have, in the fullest degree,
that ordinary right of earning their living
or OF getting ready TO earn it. 1t is well
known that many of the so-called labor
organizations are hostile to this as is seen
IN their frequent attempts to forbid employ
ers taking apprentices, or to limit the mum
Der OF the latter in the various branches of
the business.
To such an extent has this domineering
assumption reached, accompanied by such
acts Of injustice and even violence, that the
judiciary committee of the Pennsylvania
Legislature has reported a bill on the sub
Ject. 1t declares all combinations or assO-
Citations unlawful which have for their pur-
pose the prevention or discoura cement of
the apprentlclng of minors in any trade or
occupation. Under its provisions any Der
son who, either as an individual or as a
member of any association shall '.attempt.
by any means whatever, to prevent any
mechanic, employer or person having charge
OF any manufacturing business. from taking
his an apprentice any minor whose parent or
guardians are DESTROYS of apprenticing said
minor shall be guilty Of misdemeanor.
and liable to fine and imprisonment.
Probably the statutes of most States as
they stand are sufficient to guard against
the abuse aimed at in this Pennsylvania
bill; if not. they ought to be- amended. No |
one questions the right of every American |
Iaborer, either alone or in association with |
others, to protect his own privilege to work, |
to say what wages he shall ask, how many |
hours he shall labor, whose offer of employ
ment he shall accept, etc.
He has as much right to do this as the

The Rev. Mr. Signal went round to them
cattle" There was audible to Mr.. Smalls
ears hustling Of OK feet upon the earth, q
creaking OF OK bows, mixed with an ccca-
siOnal short bawl; then the sound of the
parsons voice elevated with great vehe-
mence-and the wagon slowly arose enough
to permit Mr.. Small to crawl out into the
free air. The parson was still shouting at
the straining CATTLE when Mr.. Slnall limped
quickly to where he stood, and taking the
whip from him with one hand, extended
his other, which Mr.. Signal grasped in both
of his, and, turning his eyes, now fun of
tears, toward heaven. eloquently thanked
God for His great mercy in the preserva-
ton of a. life which he hoped might yet be

What language the Rev. Mr.. Signal used
to the cattle is not reported by Mr. Small;

does not understand, made no note Of it;

lawyers or the physicians of any locality
have to agree upon the rate of their fees
and the other regulations which are custom
airy with them. But the undertaking to say
that other people-bOys or grown up men
shall not avail themselves Of their own legal
right to labor as they please. or that others
still shall not employ those whom they pre-
} fer. this is wholly unwarrsnted proceed
ing, and is, in fact, the very essence of des.
potism, which never ought to be encouraged
or allowed IN q republic.
Aside from its dread nj arbitrariness, it is
detrimental in every point of view. 1t pre-
vents tho various mechanic trades from
keeping up with the progress Of the age by
excluding that free competition among the
bright, ambitious youth Of the country,
which is the best hope of progress at our
command. The consequence is marked
falling off in Nearly all branches of mechan-
zeal industry, too much disposition to shirk
in the amount of time and skill given in
return for pay, and less Of that honest pride
in bis vocation which used to characterize
every workingman, and command the
respect of all.
Again, when native boys are thus ex-
ciuded from the mechanic trades, their
places are largely applied for by foreigners
who can rarely take the interest in their
work or attain to that mastery of their bust
ness which would have been the case with
American youth, growing up among the
strongest incentives to do their best. Too
often now the latter have to Join the
altogether overcrowded throng who are
pushing for clerkships and other de.
pendent situations which do not begin to
open the chance for usefulness and self
reliant manhood which might have been
furnished by the mechanic arts in the con-
dition which they properly ought to occupy
under our free Institutions. This is d mat
ter which pscuniarily interests our working
men whose families are growing up around
them. and it is astonishing that they should
allow themselves to be blinded thereto by
temporary influences or the instigations of
artful demagogues. We believe that in
time they will grow wiser, and. in looking
ont Tor the welfare of their children, will
benefit the whole community Washington

Cupid in the Heart of n Priest.

Several Catholic poets have powerfully
described the conflict of certain priests who.
alter being united 10 the church and hayipg
entered into their profession and made their
eternal VOWS, binding them to chastity and
remuneration of the pleasures of love and
the joys OF the family, meet in the world
with woman. perhaps destined by Provi-
dence to complete and beautlfy their life,
and thus pass through all the circles of hell
hopeless love, unreasoniDg jealousy, a
dropsical thirst OF feeling without satisfac-
ton, of infinite desires without alleyiation
on earth; torn by ardent passions, insuffsr-
able remorse; victims of the strife between
the voice OF the heart and that of the
temple; excited by the very scenes to which
they give conservation, the celebration of
marriage between beings happier than
themselves, the baptism Of children born of
sacred loves, the enchantment of the f.,niIv
in which the priests appear to bless -
felicity which never can be thsirs. mil III

and tall forsaken of God, or die martyrs to
their religion and thei~ dnty.-Enst,lcr "

For the Republican.
SIN RECOGNIZED AFTER DEATH.

Ringing, ringing, ever ringing,
Are the changes life is bringing:
Binging. ringing as a chime
On the 0ldenlbells of Time
On the fiery, wiry bells of Father Time.
Now the cangor breaks the languor
BUSTED through me from these wasted. wasted
years
From these misspent, hooking. miserable years
Breaks the languOr, as passion breaks to tears
Or Ss discord bre axis the music of a rhyme
Shrieking screeching, mid pantomime OF fears,
Come my years. come my wasted, wasted years,
Come my lost years, with their syren singing
sweet
At my feet, singing, singing at my feet.
With the witchery of happy morning chime
Now turned, alas! into q funeral rhyme.
As the bitter from the over over sweet.
From hells seething outer verge
Ringing, ringing as dirge
On the olden bells Of Time
On the fiery, wry bells of Father Time,
Comes the clangOr once again. once again
Through very mist of pain, through a rain
Dripping dripping from my joys that arc slain.
Crushing through me, o my fieAd 80 dainty sweet
Run the memories of my passion when feet
We're SO bazoned wit h the sandals of our sin:
They are armed with trenchant spears.
Wearing yet the livery Of those wasted. wasted
years
or those missPent, hooking, miserable years;
And my soul is racked with frenzy as they come
And my soul is pierced with agony and dumb.
For the ringing, ringing surge
OF the solemn, wailing dirge
Changing from the bells of Time.
From the fiery. wiry bells of Father Time,
Covers with all the mournfuness of tears,
As the clangor Of those unrepentant years
Surges ever through my rhyme.
And upon the earthly shore
We shall meet, we shall meet
With eur sinsandaled feet
Eevermore.

In prohibiting the sale in France OF
Gladstone's pamphlets on the political
schemes Of the Vatican, MacMabon has
committed signal act Of folly. He has
not only violated the fundamental prin-
ciples of freedom, and thus discredited
his own Government, but he has injured
the ecclesiastic.polticAl cause he wishes
to advance. The Frenchmen will now
get these publications. through the mails
and otherwise, and thousands Who would
otherwise never have cared to look at
them. must now get them.
The Alta keeps on in this style ill i,

The Atlas remarks are correct, with
about twenty triAing exceptions, the most
notable being the fact that MacMahon
hasn't done anything Of the kind Any
