NEWCASTLE, June ~. 1873.
To THE EDITOR OF THR rIsrArcH:
I notice in your last an erroneous
statement concerning one Mary J.
Grey (Morgan) of this place, and
deem it simple justice to the lady
that you make a correction. The
facts are these: The lady married
Mr.. Morgan in Australia and moved
with him to Melbourne; here he was
arrested as ticket f-leave man, and
tried for presuming to enter Mel
bourne. 1t was then his wife be-
came aware that he was a convict.
During the trial his crime was made
known in open court, namely: COM
mitting rape on the person of lit
tie girl. L. was also made known
that he had a wife and child in
Wales. This statement he denied
to his wife, telling her that he rep
resented himself as married, think
iag thereby to tighten his sentence.
He was given 30 hours to leave
Melbourne, and with his Mary J.
left for Sydney, fromrwl,ere nfter a
short residence they removed to San
Francisco. While in Sydney he
contracted q disease in house of
prostitution, and it was with this
disease that he went into the hospit-
al in San Francisco, while the wo-
man was obliged to go out and work
for her living. While in the hos
pital, Morgan received letter from
his family in Wales and he imme-
diately left for parts unknown. News
soon reached Mary J. that he was
dead. Three months after Morgan's S
departure she met Grey fol the first
time, whom she afterward married.
The first knowledge she had subse-
quently of Morgan was on the 9th
OF May, 1878, when he came here,
probably direct from his wife in
Wales, or. perhaps, some other wo-
man whom he had ruined. This is
the kind Of q man whom Seattle is
harboring at present and the author
ittes will do well to keep an eye on
him. ONE VINO Knows.

way, by teaching your children to obey
implicitly when you are present, you
will get them in such a habitsof obedi-
ence that they will seldom think of dis
obeying in your absence. Experience
will form the habit, and the habit will
remain long after the experience has
been forgotten or is, at best, remember
ed in dim and misty fashion.
At least, such has been my experience
with my own children; and, if your
method of discipline has resulted in
children that won't mind, suppose you
try my system for while. Put your

shape its experience that from each one

Alfred Ethelridge Makes Call.

Mr.. Alfred Ethelridge is bashful he
does not deny it. He wishes he wasn't,
sometimes, but wishing doesn't seem to
help his case much. Every body in Bur-
lington likes him except the father of
young lady out on Pond street. With
an instructive knowledge of this old
gentleman's feelings, Alfred had for
borne to aggravate them and kept out
of the fathers way as much as possible,
atOning for this apparent neglect by
seeing the daughter twice as often. The
other afternoon, Alfred went up the
steps and rang the bell. The door
opened and
Papa stood glaring at him, looking a
thousand things and saying nothing.
Alfred Ethelridge had never felt quite
so lost for language in his life. Pres
emily he stood on one foot and re-
marked:
"Good afternoon
"Gooftnooh," grunted papa, which is,
by Interpretation, also good afternoon.
Is-ah-is-er--er- Lollipop-
is your daughter at home ?" asked AL
fred, standing on the other foot.
ayes, sir" said papa, rather more
shortly than Alfred thought was abso-
lutely necessary. Then nobody said
anything for long time. Presently
Alfred Ethelridge stood on both feet,
and asked:
SIS she in"
Eyes, SIR" said papa, not budging a
step from his position in the door, and
looking as though he was dealing with
book agent instead of one of the incest
young men in Burlington. Then Alfred
Ethelridge stood on his right foot, and
said:
''Does she can she receive COM
pany 2"
eyes, sir" papa said, savagely, not
at all melted by the pleading information
of Alfred's voice, which everybody else
thought SO irresistably sweet. Then
Alfred Ethelridge stood on his left foot,
and said:
sis she at home?"
"Yes, sir" papa said, kind of coldly.
Alfred Ethelridge looked down the
street and sighed, then he looked up at
papa and shivered. Then he stood on
his right foot again, and said:
''Is she in"
eyes, SIR" papa said grimly, and
never taking his eyes off the young
mans uneasy face.
Alfred Ethelridge sighed and looked
up the street, then he stood on his left
foot and looked at papa's knees and
said, timidly, and in tremulous tones:
''Can she see me 2"
Eyes, sir" papa said, but he never
moved, and he never looked pleasant.
He only stood still and repeated Sec
ond time, eyes, sir.n
Alfred Ethelridge began to feel ill.
He looked up and down the street, and
finally pinned his wandering gaze to the
bald spot on top of papa's head, then
he said:
'Will you please tell her that Mr..
Alfred Ethelridge called ?"
eyes, sir" said papa, and he didn't
say anything more. And somehow or
other Alfred Ethelridge kind of sort of
got down off the porch and went kind
of out of the gate, like. He discontin-
ued his visits there, and explained to a
friend that the old man didn't say any
thing that wasn't all right and cordial
enough, but the manner of him was
rather formal.-Burlington Hawkeye.

"He's Been a Soldier by His Walk"

These words attracted my attention,
as, waiting the arrival of my own train,
/ watched a third-class carriage and its
passengers just ready to start for Lon
don. The above remark, "He's been a
soldier by his walk" was in reference to
an erect fine treading man who had
alighted from the train, and had evil
IDENTIFY been an object of interest to his
passengers. SAY, and he's been
a soldier by the way he carries his
pack" says another. SAY, and by his
politeness,r observed a third. ''Did
You see how he touched his cap, only
because you gentlemen looked at him 7
Most of us would have said what are
you staring at p" The train snorted
off, the man left the station, and l fol-
lowed. ''Did you hear the remarks of
your fellOw-travellers, my friend? 7" He
smiled as l repeated them, and said
.'Just as it should be, sir-just as it
should be! A soldier in plain clothes
should be the same as soldier in uni
form. A true soldier ought to walk so
as to be known as such wherever he
is" He gave me a military salute, and
we separated. He left me full of seri-
GUS thoughts, that came to me in the
form of the following questions Ills

''Why Stand Ye Here all the Day
Idle Pr

SO asked the householder" in the
parable of the men standing idle in
the market-place." So asks Jesus him
self of all his protesting servants. Let
us notice the reply of the men in the
parable, and compare it with the re-
plies too often given among ourselves.
l.. The reply of the laborers was, "Be
cause no man hath hired u.s." There
was no want of will on their part.
There they had stood, very likely all
day waiting to be hired. They had
seen with envy others engaged, and
drafted off to their several tasks. The
day was almost gone, and they had
earned nothing. When, at last, the
offer of work came to them, they seized
it at once, not wasting moment in
bargaining for wages, but gratefully
accepting the masters assurance, that
"whatever was right they should re-
ceive."
What did the master do? He took
the will for the deed he recognized
the principle so beautifully expressed
in the line, "They also serve who only
stand and wait )" and he generously
made them present of the whole days
wages.
2. What can they reply who are not
working for Christ now2
~ The laborer's reply will not serve
What Christian will dare say that the
great Master has never called her to
work ?
e. Nor can any plead that the work
to be done can be done by others? Fol
'the harvest truly is great, and the la
borers are few"
(3.) Nor can it be said that the field
is too far off. 1t is worldwide indeed
but for that very reason, parts of it are
Every nigh u.s."
(4.) Nor can we plead want o
strength and skill. Surprising we have
not strength to tread the grapes, Of
skill to use the sickle, can we not make
ourselves useful by carrying their din
neIs to them"7 or to drop the figure
by seeing that those who have strength
and skill want nothing?
(5). The true answer is, in too many
cases, because l prefer idleness
cannot face the burden and heat of tn,
day and really l know nothing, an(
care less, about the harvest it is moth
ing to me whether it is gathered in o
not"
But we may observe that very few
intend always to be idle. They tax,
encouragement for this very parable
and think the eleventh hour will b,
quite time enough, and "the pay" viii
be all the same. All, no! If the labor
ers in the parable had been all day re
fusng to work when invited, would tn,
master have paid them as he did Nay
wOuld he have taken them AFT all
Let us be sure of this, that God Cal
convert the world to himself withou
US. But to be "wOrkers together witt
him" is privilege and blessing t.
which he graciously admits us. VIII
