A QCARRyMAS's RoMANcE.-Not long
ago a man, whose Anglicized name was
Peter Taylor fell from n derrick at the AL
| lanGale quarries, in Canaan, Conn, and
was killed. He was merely a laboror in a
stone quarry, and received no more than
| usual mention incident to such accidents
| in the local papers. But fer all that a 10
nance belonged to his life, more sad per-
| haps than unusual, yet still not without in
| terest. Many remember how quarter of a
| century or more ago the dashing and mag
netio Hungarian rebel, Louis Kossuth,
| came to this country, and how tens of
| thousands of Americans, sympathizing
| with the spirit of freedom and resistance
| to tyranny which he presented, not only
| gave tim n welcome, but investe ed in Kos
! smith bonds and scorned TO ask security
| Many others, also, sought these hospi able
shores about the same time, having fled
from the wrath of angry governments.
They wore the black hats aud feathers
| which became the grand rage, and sported
| the splendid military mustaches that were
| the envy of the young Americans. Among
| these exiled fellows of the unfortunate
| chief was Peter Taylor, yorng and hand
| some, but reserved and sensitive. The adj
verse result of this fight for liberty had
| crushed his prospects forever. His ambi-
| ton did not thrive in a strange land
| There came a time when he might have re-
| turned to Hungary, but 1t was worse to 20
! than to stay. His nearest friends were
/ dead. The lady whom he would have
| married had he returned to his home with
| a conquering army was either dead or had
! married another, and so he remained where
! he had first found himself after securing
an asylum in this country. With few
/ friends, and perhaps fewer enemies, he had
! lived patient life, and in his death was
/ hardly to be ptied, FOR fortune had been
his enemy, and now at least she can no
longer quarrel with him.
THE CASE OF BRIDGET-Is is pity
that Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm cannot be
! taught "a lesson of moderat ion aud Christian
charity by the United PresbVlerian, which
! publishes a three column article of the
most cruel and unjust abuse Of the domestic
Bridget" who is SO sinful as to be an
Irish woman and belong to a different
church from that which Mrs. Swisshelm
/ donors with her presence. One would i'm.
aqine that a religious newspaper would
know better than allow itself to be made
| the vehicle OF the ill-natured philippe of a
! scribbling scod. Among the charges which,
this Christian lady brings against the poor
/ servant girl is that ''she steals more than
her wages" and straightway gets absolu-
tion by dividing her plumber with heI
spiritual adviser. This is a cruel falsehood,
/ hitJiDB DiiuSeI anu 'he Shufcn at the same
time. A New York lady, who keeps q
large establishment, told the writer, who,
! on one occasion, expressed astonishmen,
that she, who was not q Catholic, should
always insist on having Irish Catholic
servants, that she did because it was a
guarantee for their good behavior. "Too
often" she said, zone cannot appeal to the
intelligence Of servants, and find that the
Roman Catholic Church acts upon my girls
as moral police. Many servants are
given to pilfering, but I never knew a
eady church going Catholic cir, who was
dishonest" y Washington D. o. Post.
