4 Noble Act.

Once upon a time young man
was convicted of a crime in this city
and sentenced by Recorder Swift to
the State Prison for three years.
He made an A No. record in pri
son and was pardoned by Gov. Bag
ley a short time before the expira-
ton of the term for which he had
been sentenced.
On his return to Detroit he found
employment at S. a week in one Of
the largest Wholesale and retail
houses in the city. He conducted
himself in an exemplary manner, and
he began to believe that his lines had
really fallen in pleasant places, until
one morning an ominous message
came informing him that he was
wanted in the proprietor's private
office. ApprehensiYe that his histo-
ry had been disclosed, he entered the
Office with a heavy heart, but re.
solved to meet the issue like a man.

THOUGHTS OF THE PAST.
BY j. H. HAYWARD.

Long years have passed, since first we
met,
Mid life's gay festive band,
And there with hearts unscathed by
woe,
Grasped each the others hand:
Then an! what joy, and hallowed hope,
Made glad the sunlit way,
That led from mid those scenes Of youth
10 sorrows of to-day!
Ay, sorrows drear! for when compared
Is present with the past,
And judged are friends now gone, for
got,
My soul in gloom is castl
Q, fond, loved friend ah, happy hours
Canst never more return,
10 chase regret from out my heart,
10 dry the tears that burn
Fen now upon my grief-seared heart,
While pass the hours of night?
0 reason, sleep! and bless me, Heaven,
With dreams Of past delight!
Thy hand, dear friend! Those scenes
have gone,
No more to bless again;
The present yet may yield new joys
The past need give no pain:
What though each link in Friendships
chain
Is broke, if thou and
Still faithful store the memory
Of griefs and joys past by?

Novels and their Foes.

In many classes of society, chiefly |
with the older members, there is a
strong, and we believe most unfor-
tunate objection against all novel
reading. From one point Of view
the old argument of the Puritans of
Scotland in the days of Queen Mary
and her son King James, leveled
against all profane and ungodly
amusements, are disinterred from
their graves and leveled against the
novel. They are clothed, tits true,
in phrsseology more adopted to the.
present day than that of the stern
preachers who drew SO much more Of
their illustrations from all the He
brew prophets with the single ex-
ception of the triumphant Isaiah,
whose strains were for their purpo-
ses too suggestive of happiness to
come. They preferred the denuncia.
lions of Hoses, and in this those who
inveigh against novel reading from
what they call a religious point Of
view seem to tread, in spirit, nearly
exactly in their steps. II they pic.
ture to themselves some land they
have never seen, the snares and the
pitfalls, the briers and the thistles
by the way side are clearly reflected
upon the mental retina, but they are
utterly blind to the violets and the
anemones, the pansies and the prim
roses that sparkle by the pathways
land perfume the meadows. To these
and such as these fiction and 70.
nance are this unknown land. They
have heard the most marvellous sto.
ries Of its dangers, and, too ready tc
believe in the horrible, shrink in
dismay from the prospect. OF iii
possible employment as an instru
ment of good they are, without any
real examination, increduIous. X
its beauty, having always looked a
it through the dark glasses Of a big
etry that should long ago have bee,
buried with the horrors Of the mas
sacre of st. Bartholomew and th
fire and fagots of Smithfeld, they ar
absolutely blind. Their want of dis
elimination 10 so obvious that the

His manner indicated nothing of

AR CNBlSn0P BAYLEY'S ROMANCE.

70.
The death of the distinguished
Catholic Archbishop Of Baltimore re-
calls to the memory of some of those
who remember him IN his youth the
romance of his early life. When he
decided to leave the Episcopal min
istry, for which he had been trained,
and study for the priesthood, he
made sacrifices that few men arc call
ed upon to endure.
He gave up at once not only his
social position, but the great fortune
which his uncle, Mr.. James Roose-
welt, after whom he was named, in
tended to bequeath him, and, worst
of all to some hearts, be renounced
the woman whom he loved.
One of the most famous bellies that
New England ever produced was
Miss Julia Beers, a daughter of
Judge Beers, Of Litchfield, Conn.,
During the first thirty years of this
century the law school of Litchfeld
was considered the most distinguish
ed institution ofthe kind in the coun-
try. It drew to this bleak New Eng
land village the young men of the
best families throughout the coun-
try, and one of its most honored
teachers was Judge Beers.
His daughter was a beautiful
blonde of the rarest type, with wav-
ing hair of pale gold, large blue eyes
and figure remarkable for it's tall
and slender grace. Added to these
natural gifts, she possessed also
fine voice of remarkable power and
compass, which she constantly i'm
proved by training, while her fine
natural powers of mind were cult
waited by every advantage of educa,
tio2, so that at twenty-five she was
woman of rare and remarkable fasci
nation.
At this time, during a summer
pleasure trip, she met the young
Episcopal clergyman, and the TIVE
became engaged. The Rev. Mr.
, Bayley, was, at this period, strik

The following letter is published
in the Selma (Alabama) Times:
Sept. Il, 77.}
John Hardy, Esquire, Dixie, Clinton
County, Alabama:
Ny DEAR JoHN-Yours of August
10, 1877, came to me in due course
of mail delivery. I am exceedingly
glad to know of your improved
health, for after all that may be said
in praise Of full purse, no amount
of money is an equivalent for sound
ness Of marrow and muscle. There
is no good reason why you should
not live to be an octagenarian.
May your shadow never be less.
I was quite prepared for your de
scriptiou of the political and social
uncertainty which prevails in Ala
bama, and you are right in not con-
lining that condition to any one
State. have long believed that our
form of government is Elusive and
unsubstantial. There is neither
practical wisdom nor sound philos
ophy in our governmental maxims.
They are exactly what Choate called
them, "glittering generalities." A
National Government composed OF
independent State Governments is
bosh. Twenty years ago / wrote
that there should be no State Legis
latures or Governors; that our laws
should emanate from Washington
that what is law in one geographical
division of the country should be The
law on the same subject in all parts
of the country. With this as thu
rule, we would have a homogeneou.
code for homogeneous people, in
stead of the distracting and ridicu
lous system which to-day is TIL
symbol Of the absence of nationa
unity.
lido not regard anything as settled
!, The Supreme Court, by its recen
) decisions, has rendered the constitu
tional amendments of no real virtue
and has strengthened the fell spiri
of State sovereignty. Hayes ha
, annihilated Republicanism. He di
, this when he destroyed its locs
organizations throughout the couu
try. 1t was due time the Republ
a can party should be dissolved;
had outllved its necessity and ust
e fulness, but Hayes hand should nc
; have struck the blow. Grand oil
. party! Requiescat. in pace.
The remnant Of my years, it is e'
/ ident, will be spent in the practice {
a profession of which I am and hay
always been fond. Nowadays Law
yers are not growing rich. 1t Is e.
ceedingly difficult to get what '
learn, and the rates Of compensate
are greatly reduced.

consolation; we are speeding to ii

and sorrow come not, where mo-
and rust do not corrupt, and whe
