Dr.. Robinson at Edingburgh.

DR.. Stuart Robinson, of Louis
vile, was the most admired of all the
Americans at the Pan Presbyterian
Council Mr.. Moncure d. Conway
writes Of him in this way: "When
ever DIR. Stuart Robinson rises you
can hear n pin fall; then presently
there is such an ebullition of ap
pause or such a roar of laughter
that you can hear what the speaker
says. DR. Crosby said in his essay
that preaching is a very solemn
business, and his words grew almost
invective when he alluded to preach
ers who made mirth in the pulpit
turning their churches into Sunday
theaters. / don't know whether his
friend, DIR. Stuart Robinson, of Lou
isville, breaches the same way that
he speaks; if he does, Crosby should
see after him, for though be is al
times highly poetical-even thrill.

grotesque. But whether numerous
or impressive, DIR. Robinson is uni
formly one thing-a Presbyterian

naman is going to become very
frequent spectacle all over America
by and by, and a difficult political
problem, too. Therefore it seems
well enough to let the public study
him a little on the stage beforehand.
The actors, the management and
the authors have done their best to
begin this course of public instruc
ton effectually this evening. will
say one word more about this re
markable play. 1t is this: When
this play was originally completed
it was so long and so wide and so
deep Tin places) and so comprehen
sive that it would have taken two
weeks to play it. And | thought
this was a good feature. supposed
we could have a sign on the curtain,
ITO be continued" and it would be
all right; but the manager said no,
that wouldn't do; to play play two
weeks long would be sure to get us
into trouble with the government
because the Constitution of the
United States says you shan't in
flict cruel and unusual punishments.
So he set to work to cut it down
and cart the refuse to the paper mill.
Now that was a good thing, Inev-
er saw a play improve as this one
did. The more he cut out of it the
better it got right along. He cut
out, and cut out, and cut out; and l
do believe this would be one of the
best plays in the world to-day if his
strength had held out, and he could
have gone on and cut out the rest
of it. With this brief but niece ssary
explananation of the plot and pur
pose and moral of this excellent
work, 1 make my bow, repeat my
thanks, and remark that the scis-
sors have been repaired and the
workof improvement will still go on.

For the CITIzEN
KISSING AND KICKING.
ro wHoM " MAY covcERN.

Miss upon the parlor floor,
Mr.. - on his knees,
He tried TO kiss and gently WOO her,
She gave sudden sneeze.
He tried again to take kiss,
He gave her hand a squeeze,
just as before he made miss;
She gave another sneeze.
"I'r twist her nose,n be softly cried,
"With my sweet finger tips,
And when have lie twist applied,
bet Pll smack those lips"
he then approached the maiden fair
With steadfast step but slow,
Expecting sweetest bliss to share,
Alasl it was no go.
For all at once his hold now slips,
Like feet on frozen SHOWS,
He did not kiss her on the lips,
But kissed her on the nose.
For indeed that lady there
That more than once had sneezed,
Suspecting what his notions were,
Her nose had quickly greHsed.
But then he caught her nose again,
His fingers to it freezed,
He tried to kiss her-but in vain,
She sneezed, and sneezed, and sneezed.
At last o'ercome, she very quick
Into his arms did drop,
And then he piled the kisses thick
And did the question pop.
IT'S kiss and kiss, and hug and squeeze,
OH his was perfect bliss
And when she had ceased to sneeze,
He did not cease to kiss.
But there came a sound of thunder quick
Her lover is not there,
Ask the girl who gave that kick,
And echo answers where.
Again she stood upon the floor,
That beautiful young Miss =,
With none TO love or gently WOO her,
Or take another kiss.
The brave who tried to kiss the fair
Is silent now and mute,
He persisted in the contest there,
At the toe of an angered boot.
And still she stands upon the floor,
With lips of sweetest bliss,
Waiting for another wooer,
To try and take kiss.
And when he tries, she'll open his eyes;
He never more will try,
He'll get a kick, and vanish quick,
With chow is that for high" NJ. D.

A brood Of banks under State

upon the credit pian-that is, upon
the same plan that insurance com
panies used 10 lie organized in Ohio.
Subscribers 70 stock made a cash
payment, and depended upon the
profits to pay the balance. The re.
suit is a collapse, and this accounts
for the bank failures that have oc.
cured in st. Louis within the last
few years. But one national bank
failed, and that inherited its weak
ness from the old State Bank Of
Missouri. IL is not safe for banks

Bangs" sends us the following
composition on rabbits, by a school
boy of his acquaintance: Rabbits
generally about the size Of a cat.
They amt so useful TO catch rats as
a cat, but they will pull the bark off

rabbit once, aud he gnawed the bark
off my grandfather's pear tree, and
he got mad and kicked the stufIin'

red eyes, but II a girl had red eyes
she'd look bad, you bet. Me and

JULIAN cREvEcouR's RUIN.
From the Saloons Of New Orleans to
Low Board-Hut in Philadelphia.

Boston Herald.
In small alley near Thirty-third
and Race, Philadelphia, just wide
enough for single wagon to pass
through, resides a singular being,
who has history full of romance.
He lives in a hut just high enough
to hold him STOPPING, made from a
few boards and covered with oil
cloth sadly the worse for wear. He
will work at anything by which he
can earn the pennies necessary to
procure the few things which pro-
long life. He speaks to no one,
visits no one, and will allow no one
to approach his hut. In the midst
of civilization, he is as much alone
and apart from the world as if iso-
lated on an island in the ocean.
And yet the man was not always as
he is. Twenty years ago Julian
Crevecour was owner of houses and
lands, stores and plantations. De-
scendant from one of the wealthiest
and most aristoratic families of
Louisiana, the entree to his salons
was the eRtree into the charmed Sc
clusion of the elite of the aristoc-
racy of New Orleans. His recep-
tions were princely, and were lavish
and wasteful in the magnifcence of
the appointments. 1t is said of him
that at his services money, in bank
notes and gold, in basketfuls, was
furnished by him to the guests with
which they gambled. His wife
proved unfaithful and fled with a
lover. After a long search over
mountain and valley, river and
ocean, he found the guilty ones and
sent the lover to his long home.
Brandy became necessary to him as
means by which he could pur-
chase a few hours of forgetfulness.
He became a drunkard, common
sot. The war swept away his for
tune, and a beggar and outcast the
once princely descendant of the
proud creoles became a wanderer
Chance drifted him to his present
place of abode, where he lives the
life of hermit and Inisanthrope.

Relief will not come until there is
a radical change Of party and policy.
1t can never come under man like
John Sherman. Meanwhile we

we can to help one another, bearing

persistently for the best.

ing. Maybe, after all, the darkest
hour is just before day. Anyhow,

none The one goes slowly down,
the other goes slowly up; the only
way to achieve fixed results. The
one dissipates his patrimony; the
other educates himself and makes a
patrimony for his children. The
blatherskites who drivel at public
meetings about the wrongs of work
ingmen are not themselves working
men. They are poor, lazy fellows
who have failed in life, and who
want to make a cheap and easy sup
port as the poor mans friends.
just like other demagogues they are
full Of sound and fury signifying
nothing. When it comes to work
ing in earnest or fighting in earnest,
they jump, skip out, leaving the
poor dupes they have inveigled in
to a losing game to hold the empty
bag. The motto of this set should
be, in the words of the rural poet

Does no work and never will,'

As for ourselves, we hate all
shams wherever we see them. The
world is full of them. Every de
-partment of life has them the State,
the Church, fashionable society and
the workshops, They appear as
statesmen, as preachers, as work
ingmen; and they are equally de-
testable in each character. They
spout and strut and talk large.
Yesterday it was the politician; to-
day it is the laboring man; to-mor
row it will be somebody else, only
always a hypocrite and humbug,
seeking to make his tongue do what
other mems brains, arms, legs, do;
that is, exc out a living cheap and
easy, with little peacock glory to
spare 1t is vile, and most abomi-
nable, that such creatures should
deceive their neighbOrs. Yet they
do, and we cannot expect the work
ing people to be more proof against
such scamps than society at large,
which is ever and anon running off
after some wretched hypocrite, who
happens to have a big voice and a
profusion of cheek.
