perpetrale a wllrul swindle on the poor,
unprotected creditors of that company
And is 1t not a matter OF record, by Mr..
Tllden's own showing, that he did 20 TO
work at, and did succeed in perpetrating,
just this very swindle2 Yet this, TO Mr..
Tllden's ideas, was eminently just, proper,
and moral, In theory and in practice. He
is unwilling, however, that. 1t should be
brought properly TO trial. In casting about
for some device whereby he could be en-
abled 10 evsde this, the main issue, as far
as his slight remnants of character and rep
utation are concerned, he suddenly discov-
ers that the complainants in the present
suit are technically new corporation from
the one "reorganized," though possessing
the same property and right, on the faith
and credit Of which the swindled creditors
depended. Still they form new corpora
tion In law, he insists, and have no right to
call him 10 account for his conduct. Mr..
Tilden is and has been a shrewd, cunning,
tricky railroad lawyer, and doubtless
knows how far his technical plea will avail
him at law. Judged by the code OF morals
and ordinary decency, however, there can
be only a single, but d universal, judg-
ment, and that is that Mr.. Tilden has TAX
en- advantage Of the msforlunes of an en-
barassed corporation to swindle all of its
creditors whom he legally could for tho
furtherance of his own interests.

Bow-legs and knock-knees arc among
the common deformities OF humanity, and
wise mothers assert that the crookedness in
either case arises from the afflicted one hav-
ing been put upon his or her feet too early
in baby-hood. But Massachusetts physi-
clan, who has watched for the truet cause,
thinks differently. He attributes the first
mentioned distornalion 10 a habit some
youngsters delight in Of rubbing the sole of
one foot against that of the other; some
will go 10 sleep with their soles pressed to-
gether. They appear TO enjoy the contac'
only when the feet are naked they do not
attempt to make it when they are socked
or slippered. So the remedy is obvious:
keep the baby's soles covered. Knock
knees the doctor ascribes to a different
childish habit-that of sleeping on his side,
with one knee tucked into the hollow be-
hind the other. He has found that where
ono leg has been bowed inward moro than
another, the patient has always slept on
one side and the upper member has been
that which has been most deformed. Here
the preventative is to pad the insides of the
knees so as TO keep them apart, and let the
limbs grow freely their own way. All of
which is commended to mothers who de-
sire the physical uprightness of their prog
eny.

An Old Time Sunday.

An antiquary, who has been making re-
searches in the colonial traditions at Haver-
hill, Mass, gives, in the New York Eve
ming Post, some peculiar traits of "the
good old times" The eSunday~-always call
ed the Sabbath-began at sunset on Satur-
day. No labor was performed on that eve
ming. Sundays church services were an
nounced by the blowing off horn, or the
hanging out of a flag. They began at nine
A. NJ, and lasted until twelve. There was
then an intermission of an hour At one
o'clock in the afternoon services were re-
sumed, and continued until four The peo-
pie were compelled by law to attend one
service at least, and fine was imposed up
on all who rode rapidly either TO or from
meeting. The sexton called upon the min
lister and escorted him TO the meeting
house. There were few pews, and those for
''the quality" only, occupying the two
sides of the front entrance. Gray-haired
elders sat in pew before the elevated pull
pit, and two deacons in a box before the
"elders' seat" The people at large sat on
benches, arranged in the centre of the
house, places on which were assigned at
annual town meeting according TO social
standing. This occasioned great jealousies.
"To seat tho Westinghouse" as 1t was call
ed, was the most difficult duty of the year.
No person might take offence aud stay
away, and no person might occupy anoth-
er's seat. A fine was imposed in both cases.
The services began by prayer, which was
followed by singing psalm in metre, die
tated by deacon, line by line, TO the con-
gregation. Then followed the "long pray
err" occupying from sixty to ninety min
utes, during which time the people stood.
Neither kneeling nor reading of the Scrip
lures was adopted for more than hundred
years after Plymouth settlement, both be-
ing regarded as initiative of the Church of
England. A second hymn followed the
long prayer, and then came the sermon, in
variably written, and occupying from one
and half to eRo hours in delivery. Bap-
tisms, cases of church discipline and collec-
tions were attended to in the afternoon.
There was a contribution every Sunday,
preceded by an appeal from one of the dea-
cons. The boxes were not carried around,
but the congregation arose and proceeded
to the deacons' seat to deposit their Offer
ings. Magistrates and "the quality" walk
ed up first, elders next, and then the COM
mon people. The trials of ecclesiastical Of
tenders at the close of the afternoon services
often afforded amusement. For various
offences there were various punishments.
When II was expected that a confession"
was TO be made. the house was thronged.
After the benedietiOn was pronounced the

Too LATE FOR THE BoAT.-The woman
who arrived at the wharf just as the excur-
sion boat had start of ten feet didn't COM
prehend the situation for a moment. She
didn't know but that boats had habit of
starting off and backing up to keep the
machinery from getting rusty. When she
realized that she was being left, she jab-

Miscellany.


Reh bOEGtEys
Cheeriy blew the soft midsummer wind,
And morn's FIRST freshness had not left the sky,
As our small craft shot past the harbor buoy,
And left the lighthouse far upon the lee,
And stood right out into the glistening bay,
Leaving behind the sad and sullen roar
OF the great waves that broke upon the rocks,
Tossing the rock-weed madly to and fro;
Leaving behind the voices clear and sweet
or happy children playing on the beach,
And the one ancient, immemorial man,
Whose dory rocked amid the boiling surf,
whilo he, as ever sat with eyes cast down,
Wondering what luck his lines would have that day.
DINNER and DINNER grew the distant shore;
Down dropped the spires below the violet line
where sea and sky were married into ono,
And still we sailed.
And more and more there fell
Upon our spirits such a subtle charm,
80 weird 4 spell OF sea-wrought sorcery,
That all things grew into our spirit strange.
Strange seemed the sky above, and strange the sea-
And strange the vessels fitting here and there
Across the bay. Strange seemed we each to EACH
And to ourselves; and when our voices smote
The Stiffness half they seemed like voices heard
In lives long gone, or lives that were TO be.
Little we spoke, and less Of words our own;
But now and then some poets music, heard
In that old time before we sailed away
1t might have been a hundred years ago.
Dream-like grew all the past, until it seemed
To be no past " ours.
