The Kind or Religion Wanted.
We want religion that softens the steps
and unes the voice to melody and tills The
eye with sunshine and checks the impatient
exclamation and harsh rebake-s religion that
u polite, defercntsil to superiors, courteous to
isferiors and considerate to friends-a religion
that goes into the family and keeps the hus
sand from being cross when dinner is hte'
and keeps tho wife from fretting when the
susbad tracks the newly washed floor with his
muddy boots, and makes the husband mind
ful OF the scraper and door-Inst; keeps the
m.ather patient when the baby is cross and
smuses the children Is well as instructs them;
czres for the servants besides paying them
promptly, projects the honeymoon into the
harvest moon. and makes the happy home like
the Eastern hg tree, bearing in its bosom at
oace the beauty of the tender blossoms and
The glory Of the ripened fruit. We want
religion that should interpose between the ruts

the sensitive souls that are trsyeling over
them.

TIE only remarkable feature about the d.
vision on Senator Eimundss resolution, for q
committee of inquiry into the reported bar
gain,, made for corrupt purposes between
Patterson and Conover and certain Democrats.
is that Senator Mstthews voted against the
resolution. Apart from the unfortunate tend
rncy to accept such vote as an indication OF
aAe Presidents leaning in the matter. the
course of Mr.. Matthews affords another illus
tratioa Of what remains Of Republican asceno-
ancy in the Senate. The party can hardly
expect. and certainly should not desire, the
further co-epention Of Patterson and Con-

It was q winter evening clear and cold, and

described, 90 far as he and the Widow Lamb
kin were concerned. in the words following:
The lively Widow Lambkin sat in the sleigh
and under the same buffalo robe with me.

We came to the Arss bridge, At the same time
catching me By the arm and turning her veiled
fsce toward me. while her little eyes twink

"Don't wlat?' asked. ~ am not doing
anything."
"Neli, but thought you were going to
take toll, replied Mrs. Lsmbkin
"Toll." | rejoinei; ''what's that ?"
swell, DECLARE" cried the widow, her
clear laugh ringing ont above the music of the
bells, ''you pretend you don't know what toll
i.?" .r' -ir
''fndeed Idout, then," said, laughing;
spray explain, if you please"
''You never hoard. then," said the widow,
most provoaing-'.you never heard that when
We were ona sleigh rid, the gentleman always
that 10, sometimes they cross bridge
claim kise, and call it toll. But never pay
It."
I said that never heard Of it before, but
when we came 10 the next bridge I Claim &C
the toll, and the widows struy ygles to hold the
veil over her face WAS not enough to tear it.
At last the veil was removed, her round, rosy
face was turned directly toward mine, and ia
the clear light of a frosty moon the toll was
taken, for the first time in his life, BY DR..
Meadows. Soon we came to a long bridge,
with several arches, the widow said that it
was no use TO resist a man who would have
bis own way, so paid the toll without nur-
fmur. s,,....s. -- s-..
"But you won't take toll for each arch, win
you, Doctor" the widow said 80 archly, that
could not fail to extract all my dues, and
that was the beginning.
"But never mind the rest. The Lambkin
had the Meadows all to herself in the spring"
