EXTRAORDINARY INTOLERANCE,
Tho stato Of Nav Hampshire has again
rejected the amendments to tho stats Con-
stnution striking out the word !" Protestant
as qualification Tor Office. A provision of
that kind has always boon in the Constitu-
tion Of TINT stato. Tho original oonatitu-
ton WAS adopted in 1874, was amended in
17o2, and again In 1870. Aatate Convention In
1876 waa held to propose amendments. Tho
original Constitution romans In force, but,
except tho repeal OF the property-4ualiAca.
tion Of voters, has not beon substantially
changod. Tho Constitution provides, "a ouo
Of tho qualifications for Governor, Senators,
Representatives, and oounse1ors, and por-
haps othor officers. TINT they shall bo pro-
fcssors Of tho protestant seligion." The
Convention OF 1860 and tho Convention OF
1876 boil, submitted amendments striking
out thia religions test, aud II now appears
that Tho rooplo in 1877 have rejected tho
amendments, rs they did in 1870.
These amendments wore adopted In
the Convention by IN unanimous vote; MI the
newspapers aud Ill the candidates advocatosl
tho amendments, There was no publio
or nvowed opposition before the election,
and yet, according TO tho returns, tho nn,end-
mcnts hase been reiccted, aud, Of course, by
a secrct vote. Among the other curiosities
Of tho election, going to SHOW that there was
no party feeling In tie u1atter, the Demo-
CRITIC towns aro conspicuous by the major
tiles they gave against the amondments.
No matter by what concert or arrange
mont the amendments wers rejected, tho
responsibility is upon tho people Of TINT
State for tho perpetuation OF this relic Of
ancient bigotry. At tho time Of the forma-
ton Of the National Union, tho Constitutions
Of many of tho 9tatos contained similar
religious determinations, and, while thoy
wqre omitted from the Constitutions Of
oil the now Ssates. ali tho old States
except New Hampshiro havo long since abol-
ished them. Before the Union, most OF those
States had aort Of State religion, but grad
,,aily nll this las been abandoned. New
Hampshire alone OF oil tho States has pre-
served The religious test for Office. Twice
within twenty-five yenrs tho poople hare re-
fused to repoal this tcst, It applies to Ro-
man Catholics, Jews, and TO all persons who
1o not profess belief in Christianity. New
Hampshire can hardly atford this violence to
the unanimous sentiment Of tbs people Of
the United States. Religious tests for Office
aro q rolio Of a bygona age, and have long
since been abolished In various states Of Eu-
ropo,-oven In Statos which hare q national

Lip-Reading.

A good many years ago, when the &C
complished daughter of a well-known
gentleman of this city was a little girl,
she was taken ill with scarlet fever, and
when she recovered was stone deaf.
Fortunately the child, who possessed a
remarkably sweet voice, had learned to
talk before the attack, and the physi-
clan who attended her, finding that her
sense of hearing had entirely gone, en-
joined upon the mother the necessity of
carefully keeping up the habit of speech,
in order that it should not be totally lost.
From that time out the mother devoted
herself to the preservation of her daugh-
ter's voice, almost to the exclusion of
everything else, and the successful issue
of her undertaking has proved an ample
reward for her labors. The young lady
is now not only an accomplished member
of society, but an excellent artist, well
known among the painters of New York.
Her education was so carefully attended
to by her mother that she not only talks
we'll, but understands everything that is
said TO her by simply watching the lips
of her interlocutor. On one occasion an
eminent clergyman of this city called to
see her mother, and was received by the
young lady. After some fifteen minutes
the mother presented herself, and the
young lady retired. Presently the con
versation turned upon the daughter, and
the mother said something about her
"infrmity." The clergyman, who had
seen nothing to indicate any lack of per-
ception in the young lady, and who had
not noticed any physical defect, was sur
prised, and asked what was meant. The
mother then explained that her child was
stone-deaf. The clergyman was loath to
believe it, and almost demanded further
proof of the fact. The young lady was
then called, and it was proven to his en-
tire satisfaction that she could not un-
derstand single word that was spoken
unless she saw the motion Of the lips
which uttered it, Like the deaf girl de-
scribed in Wilkie Collins novel of Glide
and Seek" she is singularly susceptible
to any vibration of the timbers of the
room or house in which she may be, and
her mother has established a system of
telegraphy with her by means of the
doors and balusters, by which she can
communicate with her throughout the
whole house. By simply striking the
baluster or door with the open hand
her parents can apprise her that her pres
ence is desired in a particular room or
part of the premises, and by modifca-
ton of the raps can inform her of many
of the minor affairs that are taking place.
Although her father has handsome
competence, this young lady earns enough
for her own support in the pursuit of her
art.-Neac York World.

How She Served Two Masters.

The sweetest oratory that | have lis
tened to on cliff or in forest was when
awoke from twilight dream which had
overtaken me as l sat leaning against the
base of monster tree. They were upon
the opposite side and could not run.
Said she: "Since we were children |
have felt deep interest and friendiness
in your welfare, and since l came to
know the blessedness of hope l have
longed to share any JOY with you. Will
you give your heart to your makerl"
He said: 81 can't do that, Molly.
would if could, because you wish it. l
gave it to you last winter during our
meetings of the leu d'esprit,' and if you
really don't want to keep it yourself, if
you don't in the least care for it, you may
give it to whoever you like, for shall
never have any use for it. l would like,
you know, to share blessedness of hope
very likely much the same as yourself if
you would only arrange things so that l
might have you all the time to divide the
JOY with which l hope you mean; can't
you, Molly"
She said, go John?' and then there
was fumbling, and if he didn't kiss her,
and she didn't kiss him, why, "Katy did,, y
and the woods are full of them. Then
she said "You must tell pa how you
feel" and he said:
'Isn't it too soon after getting new
heart to tell fellows experienced" and
she said, "Not at all. 1t is proper, and
am very happy" :.
He said: mot as happy, Molly, as if
l had given my heart to the Lord, are
youl" He asked his question in pa
thetic tone, and she replied, at is all the
same, John. I'll see that the good Lord
gets it at last"
Then they went off to inform pa, and
get an earthly blessing from him, for
John is in the leather business, and very
prosperous.-Ch;cago Times Camp Meet

A Farewell of the Period.


Farewell, my dearest-nevermore,
Hand clasped in hand, shall we together
Roam DER the breezy, broad sea-downs,
All in the merry soft May weather!
But then this thought occurs to me:
Twill save trihe in shoe-leather.
FAREWELL for fate will have it so,
Oh, fondest heart! Oh, tenderest, nearestl
The hues of spring have lost their glow
The leaf-the leaf is at its searest,
may not wed thee, sweet-just now,
Dry goods and things are at their dearest.
Farewell, beloved-thou art free
A fearful dearth of funds had done it;
I'll keep the ever in my heart
I'll put thee in my choicest sonnet;
These will l, love-they little cost
Not so Paris gown and bennett
And now we go divided ways;
Dead broke am THAT'S all too certain;
/ take no more stock in boquets,
Bon bons, and all that goes with firtin';
So now drop loves pretty theme,
And, SO to speak, pull down the curtain.
