MIscHEvoUs CHARITY.-Some years
ago l picked up several children in
Chicago, and thought would clOthe and
feed them, and l took special interest
in those boys to see what l could make
of them. don't think it was 80 days
before the clothes had all gone for
whiskey and the fathers had drank it
all up. One day l met one of the
little boys for whom / had bought
a pair of boots only the day before.
There was a snow storm coming up and
be was barefOoted. Mike" says I,

"Father and mother took them away, "
says he. There is a good deal that we
think is charity that is really doing a
good deal of mischief and the people
must not think because we do not give
them money to aid them in their power
ty that we don't love them. for the
money would 60 into their pockets to

we are all hypOcrites and insincere in
our love that we don't give money |
believe if the prodigal son could have
got all the money he wanted in that
foreign country he would never have
come home. and it was good thing
for him that he did get hard up and
had to live on the husks that the
swine ate. And it is a good thing
that people should suffer If they
get good living without work. they
will never work. We can never make
anything of them. God has deereed
that man shall earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow. and not live on

WELL DONE FOR SPAIN.

At last, in spite of the Pope and the
devil, both of whom made hard fight
for its defeat, the religious liberty clause
of the Constitution has been triumph
antly passed in the Spanish COrtes or
Congress, and by splendid vote Of go
yeas to 84 nays The Pope has labOred
by promises, threats and prayers to Sc
cure the passage of law forbidding the
exercise of any religion but his own in
Spain. He has claimed it as his right
to have liberation of the Protestant faith
suppressed by law. And he has been
defeated, snubbed, and told to mind his
own business. Such result in Spain is
one of the grand events of the age, and
proud mark on the roll of time 1t is
another nail in the cofin.of intolerance,
bigotry. persecution and of Popery, the
mother of it all.
To this glorious result the eloquence
of CASTELAR, has doubtless contributed
much. He seems to have come to the
tribune for such a time as this, endowed
with ability to perceive and will to meet
the crisis, when a word well spoken is
the salvation of the people. He has
spoken the word. Other men have been
raised up for the time. And Spain,
weak, distracted, burdened and in peril,
has risen to the height of this great oc.
casion, and pronounced against the Pope
in favor of religious liberty throughout
her borders.
And now where is the civilized coun

That my golden hour was lost?

And too full Of idle gossip

Did fret away the minutes

Where could all my sense have flown to,
That met with such loss?
FOR my hour was jewel,
And with sixty small ones set;
Round each minute sixty seconds
Made the radiance brighter yet.

And what wisdom could they bring,

All tho jewels OF a king.

"A whole carload if you want to,
was the prompt reply, and the little old
man placed package on beer table.
and softly remarked:
There is no nobler cause than the
cause of the heather. We should all
contribute small share Of our worldly
wealth to shed the gospel light across
the seas"
A pair of bOxing-gloves were softly
reposing on table, and the little old
man felt Of them and went on;
alt makes me sad to see such sinful
things lying around when the cost Of one
glove might save dozen souls in Afri-
ca"
Three or four of the boys had dropped
in, and the saloon-keeper winked al them
and replied:
DO you want to earn FIVE dollars for
the heather ?"
"Verily do"
"Put on the gloves with me and knock
me down, and I'll ante up cash enough
to convert whole regiment of African

with the explanation:
alt can't be a sin to box for the cause
Of the heathen."
The saloonist meant to lift him over
one of the tables at the first blow, but
the blow was warded off very handsome
ly, and the little old man sighed
"Ah-uml The heather walk in wick
edness and they have souls to be saved !"
''LoOk out, now," cried the saloonist,
as he got in left-hander.
Verify, will, and | will give one in
return-for the heathen."
He struck staggering blow, and the
salOOnist didn't feel quite SO enthusiastic
as on the start. He took the defensive,
and he soon had all the work be could
do.
That's another for the ignorant minds
on the far-off shore y sighed the little
old man as he knocked the saloonist
against the wall.
There wasn't any science about him,
but he struck to kill, and his arms were
flying around like the spOkes of wagon
wheel.

the saloonist, as be was being driven
back, and he got mad and put in his
hardest licks. He meant TO smash the
little old mans nose as fat as window

in two or three fair hits, and was begin

stranger sorrowfully remarked: my

enigma II Is maryelous.l
Twas whispered in heaven, twas nuttered in hell,
And echo caught family the sound as it fell;
On the confines OF earth twas permitted to rest.
And the depths Of the ocean its presence contest;
Twill be found in the sphere when tbs ryen asunder
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder;
Twas allotted 10 man with his earliest BREATH
Attends at his birth, and awaits him at death;
Presides DER his happiness. honOrs and health;

In the heaps or the miser 'iis boarded with care;
But is sure to be lost with his prodigal heir.
It begins every hope every wish it must bound;
With the husbandman tolls; with the monarch is

Without It tho soldier the sailor roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home
In the whispers or conscience its voice will be found,
| Nor cen in the whirlwind OF passion be drowned.
Twill soften the heart; though deaf be the ear.

Eighth and Washington streets, and was
largely attended. The church was hand

which the water continuously flowed.
The exercises were of a very pleasant
character, and consisted of singing and
scriptural recitations. The Superir tend

but one death had occurred in the school
during the past year. The usual ms, ns
sionary collection was literally responded

the schools was exceedingly fine, and MIR
