Getting Names for Bad Purposes.

In all the papers of the fashy sort, as
we'll as some that claim higher standard,
may be read the advertisement, "Your
name neatly printed on fifty cards for ten
cents-postage paid" etc. Every printer
knows that the cost of cards furnished,
which are of fine board, together with the
work and postage, will cost at least ten
times ten cents. How then, can men
make this traffic pay? 1t is claimed that
the lists of names of thoughtless young
ladies and innocent girls, as we'll as those
of young men and boys, gathered by ad-
vertisements of this kind in every city
and village, and at almost every post
office, command big price when offered
for sale to men who deal in literature Of
that kind which poisons the young mind
and prepares foundation for blasted
life. In the hands of these soulless
wretches, the preserved lists are an un-
erring guide to the hearthstone of almost
every family. The cards are somewhat
nice, but circulars offering books and
pamphlets, sensual and beastly, at high
prices, will doubtless follow. 1t may be
that the advertisers of cards do not want
the lists for sale, and are themselves the
vampires upon society who take this
method of getting addresses for nefa-
rious traffic. Be this as it may, the thou
sands of names sent for cards thus ad-
vertised, are on a dangerous journey

the last three years seven hundred and
fifty one idiots have been discharged as
cured. These are now constantly to be
seen on our streets, and, with the excep-
ton of the tooth-pick, which is never
absent from their mouths, they look
much like other men. 1t is, however,
absolutely necessary that the restored
idiot should never for one moment re-
move his tooth pick. If he does, he will

imbecility, and while in that condition
may be mistaken by the Police for dan
gerous paralytic and dubbed to death.
Of course, there are men who chew
tooth picks simply in order to crafty a
depraved and hideous appetite, but these
men are few in number. Indeed, it is
difficult to imagine that any considera-

would voluntarily degrade themselves in
this manner. 1t may be safely affirmed
that nine out of every ten men who are

tooth picks are discharged idiots. who

From the Toledo Sunday Journal.
A Friendless Tramp.

Hayes left Washington for Ohio last
Friday night, expecting to take in the
Newark Soldiers reunion, then to 60 to
Fremont, and from thence to Minnesota
doing the reception business in Toledo
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, &c.
After the re union at Newark, he sud
denly skipped for Washington. The
cause of this radical change of programme
lies with the people. Hayes expected
cordial greetings, ovations, cheers, hat
swinging bouquet finging, oratorical
panegyrics by local celebrities, dinings
winnings, brass horn music military pa
rades and artillery salutes; but, alas his
reception at Columbus was so cold and
barren and pulseless as to give him the
cold chills, when the thermometer was
above $50 Notwithstanding the an
nouncement of his arrival, but twenty
persons all told met him at the depot,
and the attempt to salute him with a
cheer was fiat failure. Hayes looked
over the sickly crowd in the great union
depot, smiled forced and sickly smile,
passed quietly into hack, and was driv-
en- to the residence of a relative. The
day following was Sunday, and Hayes
Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. R.
w manly uldAly lldu dHA lbO-
publican, preached the sermon. He chose
for his text thirteenth verse of the tenth
chapter of st. Luke, And Jesus answer
ing said, certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among
thieves, which stripped him of his raj
ment. and wounded him, and departed
leaving him half dead" This text was
taken for the resemblance it bears to the
freedmen, and Mr.. Manly announced that
he intended to preach in behalf of the
Freedman's Aid Society. In the course
of his sermon he hit the apostate Presi-
dent sledge hammer blow between the
eyes, as follows:
During the last war the black man
mingled his blood with that of the best
men in the country, and he thought that
there was mot an instance on record
where black man had ever betrayed
Union soldier"
Could a more stinging rebuke have
been administered to the base migrate,
who, elevated to power by the votes of
the men, black and white, who fought the
war, rescued our nationality, and eman-
cipated the black race, entered into
conspiracy with the enemies of emanci-
patton, and placed into the most import
ant Cabinet office leading Confederate
General, and an organizer of the Ku-
KluX Klan of Tennessee. We imagine
that Hayes, if not entirely wanting in
sympathy and sensitiveness, must have
squirmed in his pew when this cold steel
OF the Manly preacher entered his soul.
The black man, who never betrayed the
Union or Union soldier, has been turn
ed over to the mercy of his oppressors, by
a man whose treachery, duplicity and
cowardly intrigues will stink in the nos
trils of coming generations for all time.
Then Hayes went over to Newark on
Monday, to attend the soldiers reunion
There he learned that he had lost his
place in the affections of the gallant men,
whose courage and fidelity made him
President, and as soon as the re union
was over, he took the first train back to
Washington.

Conspiracies Against Labor.

No weak spirit of time-serving should
cause the Government to palter with the
rioters at the Capital. They disgrace the
Nation by defying its laws and breaking
the peace under the very shadow of the
Capitol and the power of the Nation
ought to be swiftly and sternly used
There has been great deal too much
mealy mouthed hesitation in such cases,
and many innocent lives have been sac
rifced, and much property destroyed,
because officials played the demagogue
about "the labor question" 1t is time
to teach all whom it may concern that
no notions whatever about the labor ques-
ton are any excuse for breaking the
laws. The rioters at Washington have a
perfect right to their own opinion upon
that question. They have also right to
advocate their opinion peaceably But
the first blow struck, the first menace of
violence to compel others to act upon the
same opinion, puts the man or the mob
beyond the pale of civilized society
Labor" has no more business to rebel
against law than slavery had. Contempt
ble demagogues in office, in more than
one locality, caused bloodshed last year
by making a distinction between the
man who breaks the law in the name of
labor" and the man who breaks the law
on any other pretext The Government
of the United States would commit sui
eide if it should treat law breaking labor
ers any other way than it would treat
rebels or rioters of other sorts The first
thing to do is to vindicate the majesty OF
the law After that it will be time to
talk about the causes of trouble; never
minute sooner.
Labor" at Washing gton has no excuse.
Certain laborers were at work, earnin g
bread for themselves and their families
1t was nobody's business what wages
they were paid; if they wished to work
for the sum which any employer wished
to give, they and he had an absolute
right to make the bargain. Whether
the wages paid were enough or not, is not
the question here If the men chose to
work, they had right to full protection

end, either by defeat, by concession or by
compromise. But when men who do no

Ideal of a Christian Life.

The Rev. DR.. R. R. Booth preached
yesterday at the University Place Pres
| byterian Church His text was judges
viii 4: Faint yet pursuing" Many
pews in the church were vacant Previ-
Gus to to the sermon collection was
taken to assist the mission in supplying
religious instruction to the inmates Of the
City Prison.
The words Faint, Jet pursuing" said
the speaker, suggest the progress of a
Christians life and the character of men
who are to succeed in Christian work
In selecting the three hundred men who
were to follow Gideon in the struggle
against the Midianites, God sujected the
hosts of lsreal to severe test. The thirst
ty soldiers were brought down to the
water that they might drink. Those who
were eager to pursue, and took only
small handfuls of water in order that
they might bear the heat easier, were
chosen for the battle. These men under
stood the laws of God in regard to drink
ing in warm weather. The wisdom of
selecting them was shown afterward
when the battle ended in victory, and
victory was followed by a long and toll
some pursuit. When Gideon and his
band of heroes passed over Jordan in
pursuit of the defeated Midianites they
were weak and faint, but they had no
thought of giving up the chase. Faint,
yet pursuing" is fit motto for the shield
of every Christian soldier. Religion
sometimes takes its followers up the
nights whence they can see the glories of
the Celestial City. God has his Samp-
sons, his Gideons and his mighty men,
who, like David, have gone forth to meet
the Philistine in battle. But Christians
for the most part are like tired doves, or
like sheep in the midst of wolves. Will
ing as the spirit may be to perform deeds
of valor, the flesh is often too weak. To
for all persons would be to crush bruised
reeds The thing we must always insist
on is sincerity. In the Word of God a
lofty standard of Christian effort is held
up before US, but at the same time we are
given comfort in our weakness.
Christians often become faint because
of the length of their terms of service
There is no discharge in the warfare
against sin. When man enlists under
the banner of the Lord he is said to throw
away his scabbard, and he never lays
aside his sword until he lays down his
life. The one thing that a Christian sold
ier never thinks of is a deliberate with
drawal from the conflict Whatever in
the Christian life may fail, this pursuing
purpose must endure Even in worldly
things continuity of purpose wins success.
This is illustrated in the life of the man
who now controls-whether wisely or
unwisely-the destinies of England. The
present Earl of Beaconsfeld has kept one
purpose steadily in view ever since the
time when, reused by the sneers Of Par
Lament, he cried out, THE time will
come when you will hear me-" In the
midst of all trials and discouragements
let US not swerve from our purpose as
Christians, but continue to press toward
the mark for the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus.

A Summer Day.
BY C. E. BROOKS.

Deep down beside the tangled sedge
The meadow-lark sings all the day,
And burst at times from out the hedge
The mimic chatter of the jay;
And here and there wandering note,
A cricl1et'S chirp, comes sweet and clear
Where dreamy mists of Summer float
AT noon upon the grassy mere.
Afar away below the hill
see the noisy mill-wheel go,
The smooth, broad lake above the mill,
The flash of foam that roarS below!
And on the even slopes that rise
So gently toward the mountains brow,
The cattle watch with sleepy eyes
The lazy plough-boy at the plough.
My soul is sleeping, and its dreams
All, sad and sweet that dreaming thrills
For there are other wales and streams
And other fiocks on other hills
The hills whereon 1 climbed to pull
The golden 1odS and weeds of May,
When all the world was beautiful
And all my life q Summer day.
