then be finished by heart Has any
one ever had a packet from London
without finding in it several YER
sions of that most obnoxious tale
concerning the pious child Of a
drunken father, who reclaims his
parent, either by praying aloud for
him, or by making, unwittingly,
some remark which 'pierces him to.
the heart just at the moment when
he is standing unobseryed behind
the door, This appears to us to.
ineulcate the worst possible moral;
can anything be so undesirable as
to accustom children to regard their
elders as subjects for their spiritual
ministrations, and must not a
child's single-mindedness be utterly
destroyed by leading it to expect
thai the answer to its prayer will
come through the impression pro
duced by its own superior sanctityI
Take, for example, q. leafet called
Will Father be a Goat, Mother?
In it James Strings son, a boy of
four years, listens to his mother
reading Matthew XIV, after which,
just as James has arrived, half
drunk, at the usual place of con-
cealment behind the door, the
dear, attentive child raises his head
and gazing in his mothers face with
irrepressible interest," (what a
world } asks, will father be a goat
then, mother?' James Stirling was
apparently gratifed at being looked
on as an interesting case by his son;
a few days after he took the pledge
and became a Christian philantho-
pist in humble life"

CHICKENS COMING HOME, ETC. In
1865, Massachusetts, Carpet-bagger--
Kimpton-was elected State Treasurer
OF South Carolina. Recent revelations
establish the fact that he and his Con
federates plundered the taxpayers ofnol
less than 100000 during his admins
tration. When Hayes withdrew the
United States troops from that State
Kimpton returned to dwell among the
Plymouth rockers, for safety. Gov

mitted by him, issued q requisition for
his return. But the Governor of Mas.

time that bis late decision in the Kimp.
ton case, refusing to surrender that
outlawed thief to the South Carolina
authorities, was pretty bad invest
ment. Train was candidate for re.
nomination before the Republican State
Convention on Wednesday, and was
beaten by more than two to one. But,
Yankee like he still continues to dwell
in the province Of the balmy Rock.

THE MAINE QUESTION There Is al
ways more or loss sport made over the
election in the State Of Maine. The
recent cyclone which passed over tae
pine tree State, is alluded to in this way
by the editor ofthc Philadelphia Times !.
because the Republicans of Maine had
a majority of 1900 in 1877 and were
defeated by 10000 in 1878, the North
American falls into the regulation ways
of the average organ and figures on
percentage. It's possible in the pres
ent confusion of parties, that the Re.
publican ticket may be elected in Penn.
sylvania, but there wouldn't have been
any possibility Of its defeat had Maine
given her usual Republican majority of
tho last quarter of a century. The on
ly percentage there is to figure out of
the Maine election as applicable to
rennhyivhnia, II that which would
make a Republican minority of hun
dred thousand or SO, with a wrangle
between the Democrats and Nationals
ns 10 which OF tho three tickets might
stumble through. II looks TO ono on
the outside like a mathematical conun-
drum that might bc produced in this
wise $4,000 National votes in 1877
reversed the Pennsylvania Republican
majority Of $4,000 given in 1876, and
elected the Democratic ticket by near.
ly 10000, where will the Republican and
Democratic tickets land in 1878, with
the National vote sweIcd up to 100000
or lb0,0o0f There's figure work for
