A Poor LITTLE GIRL.-An incident of
sad and painful nature occurred in the
Fifty.seventh street Court, New York
City, one day last week. A little girl of
only nine years of age named Mary An
derson, was brought into the court room
BY an officer, who had found her in Twen-
ty-eighth street near Third avenue, cry
ing as If her little heart would break.
What are you crying about, little
onei" asked the officer.
She started back, endeavored to dry
her tears, and said, between her sobs. II

All this uneasiness arises from lack
Of close observation and sound reasoning
on the part of the masses, for did they
possess these qualities, the fact that there
are successful men in every community
would show them that the chances Of
prosperity in the various occupations and
localities are pretty evenly distributed.
The Astors, Stewards, and Vanderbilts
built up colossal fortunes in New York
city, but We would not hold up these -
inducements for young or old men to
flock hither and try to do the same. Men
have gone to Colorado, Texas, California,
and other of the new States and Terri
tories, and there made fortunes in very
few years; but while . few have been
successful, hundreds have remained as
poor Is they were when first starting out
for these lands of promise. The old cd.
ages about "rolling stones gather no
moss" and "sitting hens never getting
fat" have representatives in every com
munity, and, for our part, we have yet to
find the place where everybody is rich,
comfortable and conteated. There is,
room for choice of localities,
and it Il fortunate that all do not choose
alike, for were this 90, we might find
come States deserted and others over.

The best place to 60 is where inclina-
ton leads, provided circumstances will
admit of our doing 30. Az for remain
ing there, inclination and conditions
must determine.-Rurol Neso Yorker.

Rank in Puritan Churches.

Gratis. They had no respect for the d.
vino right Of kings, and no scruples in
beheading Charles I. for tyranny: They
would fight to the death in resisting des-
potism, and submit without q murmur to
martyrdom in behalf of their principles.
But they recognized superior merit, and
were always ready to give precedence to
worth of character and eminent useful
ness.
DR.. Ellis, In the Unitarian ReviesO, re-
calls the fact that in the first Puritan
churches of Massachusetts,, unpewed and
with free seats, places Of honor were as
signed to the magistrates and to distin.
guished citizens. He says:
"God had made men to differ, and it
would have been wickedness or folly to
attempt to deal with man and man as if
all were entitled to like consideration.
They did not accept the modern notion
that 'one man is a. good a. another
They put no obstacle whatever in the way
of any mans 'rising;' but till he had
risen, they meant he should understand
that he had his bettenl And 10 after Q
prominent place had been assigned in the
sanctuary for the minister and his family,
and for the elders, the next place of honor
was given to the resident magistrate; the
next to the highest military officer in the
