this puzzling question. "Why is it,"
said he, "that you are not able to do the

all kinds of perils. How Is it you are

"a During the last election for the
representation Of East Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, one of the ministers in rural
parish, canvassing one day among his
parishioners, came across one of them
who was staunch liberal, and at once
commenced sounding him on the sub
ject. " L suppose they'll all be sound
up this way, John 2" 81 daur say they
are" "Of course, John, you'll be going
to vote for our side?'' That's my

Trust Funds.

The guardian OF an estate in
Kings county, N. Y, reports that
a property valued, whenlinfrusted
to him seven years ago. at $4,000,
is now worth only $l,400; and
this, too, though the widow aud
orphans Interested have not re-
ceived a cent. The guardian, In
question may be an honorable man.
1t may be true that the estate
has deprecated in value without
any fault ON his part, and that
the widow and orphans, now pen
niless, have no just cause to Blame
him.ds .s9oa yH@T hl rilaliaV
Bat it is evident from many
facts brought to public notice that
there is great deal Of laxity in
the management Of trust funds,
A dishonest guardian need, not
make himself liable to legal penal
ties while in fact deyouring an
estate, He can pile up expenses,
put property in a position where
necessity will compel an unfayora-
bic sale, and turn flat sale to bis
own advantage; and he can pay
out fees for so called advice to,his
legal cronies. His accounts may
be straight to cent, while no'h-
ing is left for the unfortunate lu,
natic, widow, or orphan. The
law affords no practical redress to
those whose estates are plundered
under the forms of law. The en-
riched thief walks proudly, is re-
ceived in society, and is regarded
as successful man, while his vie
Tins go down to ruin. There dis
one kind Of penalty, and it is for
society Itself to enforce it. Let
the k.pluhdereriof trust funds
be branded and avoided just as
the fellow who picks AZ pocket is
branded and avoided Let clergy.
men refuse him commnhion ami
drive him from. their churches
and let him be made to feel that
