for IL man servant or II woman servant,
and there would he less trouble if all

there is the hitch. Some yonng people
indulge i'll this advertising, and the cor
respondence which likely follows it, for
amusement, and some are simple
enough to find romantic element in it
and are led to their own ruin. Instan-
ces have been known where girls have
married men who already have wives
and faMilies. But few days ago the
story was told ofthe marriage ola young
lady of good family with plausible,
but tlashy young man, with whom she
had correspondence, brought about
in this way. He turned out to be u
gambler, and in few weeks she was
forced to return to her fathers house.

IRELaSD,s OPPORTUNITY.


Those who have read the record OF Eng
lands oppression of Ireland will doubtless
surmise that if the British lion and the Rus
sian bear at last engage In life and death
struggle, Ireland will take advantage OF her
opportunity and seek to regain her national
ity Ireland's lnveterate hate of England
has grown in intensity as the years have in
creased since the monstrous crime of her
subiugation was perpetrated, and wherever
on the green earth trae Irish heart beats
England has foe. We hear much of Eng
lands preparations for war; of her great
wealth and her great power No one doubts
highlands pluck, but it Is quite
possible that she is just now inviting
a series of catastrophes which in the end
may exhaust her wealth and deprive her of
the commanding position she has hitherto
occupied in the affairs Of the world. Her
purpose in antagonizing Russia is, it is
claimed, to save her India possessions, but
Just at this point the question is asked: Is
not England placing her Asiatic empire in
serious jeopardy? 1t is now well under
stood that England, by hesitsting when
Turkey needed her help, has completely
estranged Mohammedans throughout the
world, and the report that Russia and Tur-
key have formed an alliance gives impor-
lance 10 the statement. British India
contains Mohammedan population of at
least $4,000, 600 who are not likely in case
of revolt, which is always dreaded, to assist
British troops. Quite recently there have
been evidences of restlessness on the part of
the native chiefs, and so apprehensive have
the authorities become that the native press
has been suppressed or placed under the most
rigid surveillance. These things indicate
trouble in India and should England at last
become engaged with Russia the situation in
India may at once assume a seriousness that
will endanger her power. Russia will not
be slow to help on the complications, and
aided by the sultan they would suddenly
grow into an importance which it would
be difficult to estimate. Just now
England is mistress of the ocean,
having larger naval aud merchant fleets
than any other country. But should a war
with Russia ensue, the oceans and seas of
the world would swarm with ships fitted out
. by Russia that would everywhere prey upon
her commerce, and in a comparatively brief
period cripple it to an extent that would
endanger the lives of the people Of England.
England can not feed herself; she is depend
ent upon the food producing countries of
the world. To say that her merchant marine
could not be crippled is to deny the facts Of
recent history. A half dozen confederate cruz
sers almost annihilated the merchant marine
of the United States, and similar disasters
may overtake England. Thousands Of Irish
men. at home and in al lands. are watching
their opportunity to give England trouble,
and the indications are ;hat they are near at
hand

know, however. that His great soul was for
ever in sympathy with the poor. By the
roadside, by the pools, by the sea, along
all the highways of the Holy Land, on the
mountain side or in desert places He was
always teaching His disciples the great les
son of caring for the poor; and when the
disciples of John hesitated for some crown
ing declaration that Jesus was the Messiah, it
was found in the Goc-like expression that
The poor have the Gospel preached to
them" 1t is pretty we'll established fact
that costly church buildings do not help on
the spread of Christ's Gospel, whatever else
they may accomplish. Simplicity is done
away with when wealth demands elaborate
decorations. Sun bonnets, calico and
jeans do not mingle we'll with silks
and broadcloth. Dollar brogans seldom press
the elegant carpets that cover the aisles of
fashionable churches. That sort of religion
is too costly even in good times, but when
want sits enthroned in the cottage homes OF
the poor it can not be INDUCED in at all.
Then it seeks the quiet hooks, does its own
preaching and the costly churches are left to
get along the best way they can, which, too
often, is poor enough. The time for agita-
ting the church question has fully arrived.
A great reformer is wanted. The voice OF
one crying in the wilderness of steeples,
''build cheap churches and give the poor a
chance for heaven" should be heard.

The Fruit.
Cincinnati Enquirer.l


OF course we shall hear a howl that the
fruit has been killed. This howl comes as
regularly as the vernal equinox. Perhaps
in low grounds the cold of Sunday did dam
age the fruit Many time fruit buds have
come safely through a severer snap. But this
cold was preceded by drying wind, which
is most decidedly in favor of the safety of
the fruit. Farmers and fruit growers are
proverbially panIcky about the fruit when a
frost comes; and farmers in the vicinity
of Cincinnati are comfortably confident
that their buds have not been killed. In
the low, warm grounds on the Big Miami
the peach trees were in bloom, and the
blossoms are of course chilled, but not neces-
sarily killed. In the high grounds the fruit
is comp aratively secure. Apples, pears and
cherries are late boomers, and their fruit
germs are wrapped up snug and dry and
warm. III there is any wheat that may be
already jointed, and there Is not much, If
any, in that state of forwardaess hereabouts,
it will doubtless be injured more or less.
We may as well contain ourselves for the
present, and instead of assisting anybody in
bulling the fruit or grain market, rest in
hope, and bless our stars that the cold has
been so moderate, and console ourselves
with the prospect of abundance of fruit and
grain. if no frost or blight comes hereafter to

short Sermons.


The popular clamor for short sermons is
kept up by restless class of young persons
who are smarter than their parents and pas
tors. They get fidgets If a sermon reaches
beyond ID or 20 minutes. And yet these
same goslings of both genders, when they
come together in a social party or meet in
the parlor, will waste solid hours in
the stupidest common places. Their
talk does not rise to the dignity OF
conversation. 1t is twaddle. 1t is non
sense from first to last; il is worse than waste
of time, of life, Of everything. But these
gigglers from the green goose pastures pre-
sumo to know how long a minister 'should
preachi And here and there the kind sonled
pastors accommodate their sermons to the
gosling taste. Let thespulpit have the time

MR.. TILDEN's INCOME TAN.



We understand the case with Mr.. Tilden's
income tax, concerning which decision has
Just been rendered by Judge BlatchfOrd, to
De that at the time the tax was payable be
was heavily engaged In speculative opera
tons which had not yet come to any result,
so that 1t was impossible for him to tell at
the time what his income for the year had
really been, or whether il might not turn
out to be less than nothing In this situa-
ton he left the amount of the tax to be
fix by the assessors and paid it accordingly,
with the fine which the law imposed for the
failure of the citizen to make return OF his
income. In so dong Mr.. Tilden simply fol-
lowed the course which was pursued by
thousands of other men who regarded any
official inquiry into their business affairs
with aversion. and adopted the alternative
which the law itself provided.
Now. however, Mr.. Tilden having been
elected president by the democratic voters
of the country, he has been singled out for
prosecution by republican officials; and the
case having been brought before Judge
Blatchford, he decides that the determine
ton of the tax by the assessor and the impo-
sition of the fine for failure to make a return
do not end the matter; so that il it shall
appear now or at any future time that in any
year the assessors estimated a mans income
at less than it really wss, the government
can still sue for the difference and compel
payment; and we are bound to assume that
this is a correct exposition of the provisions
of the statute.
What further course Mr.. Tilden means to
take IN the matter will appear in due time.
We suppose it is probable that he will appeal
and that the question will be carried TO the
supreme court We wish, however, that hi.
demurrer bad been broader, and that 1T had
put at issue the greater question of the con
stitutionality of the law imposing the income
tax We are perfectly convinced that when
ever this question is properly argued before
the supreme court the law will be pro
nounced unconstitutional.
