The English Liberals have learned a
lesson from American politics. Earl
Beaconsiield gave them ''the ballot" Of
which they made such effective use
against the landlord interest at the re.
cent elections, a1ri some cnterprisine
Liberals imported the machinery Of '.tlIe
caucus" Previous to The introduction
Of the ballot al voting at the English
elections had been viva pOcc. and Che ef

wuteh their respective political retainers
and to ascertain who were loYal and
who played them false. The secret
ballot took from tie landlords the power
they bad been accustomed to have over
their tenants and dependents, and from
great corporations their ability TO exer.
else control over ouch persons as were
in their employ, and who were entitled,
under the Household Suffrage law, to
vote. the sectet ballot gave the Lib.
erala. and especially the extreme wing
Of that party, an opportunity which
they 6t,izrd aud used with extraordinary

PHIL.s PRAYER.

There are 4 great many people tLat,
in their religion, remind me OF "Uncle
Phil, a pious old darky Of the old. time
in Texas.
Well, Phil was a fervent Christian,
with a great gift Of prayer. He at
tended all the Saturday night prayer
meetings on the neighbOting plaIta-
tons, and could pray louder and lsnger
than amy of the brethren. But Phil
bad one weakness. he dearly loved
money and, different from the negro
generally, loved 10 hoard it.
Near iy lived man who, not
troubled by any scruples, 1ouId pay
Phil dollar to work in his fields ON
Sunday. One Sunday night Pill came
home after dark. / accosted him
with:
Where have you been, Phil 7"
's0h, Jest knockin about, massa."
"You've been working for Miller"
"Well. you see, massa, the old fellow
is in weeds, and he Jest showed mo
silver dollar anl iast couldn't stand
it,"
"Ain't you afraid the devil viii get
YOU for breaking the Sabbath !"
Phil scratched his head. for minute,
and then said
Il guess the Lord1l 'seuse me, mas
80"
No he says Remember the Sab
bath day and keep it holy"
Phil went of looking pretty sober.
and it was not long before l heard his
voice in fervent prayer back of the
barn, SO thought would slip down
near enough to hear.
20, Lord y heard him say, Il have
this day ripped and feared, cussed and
sweared at them confounded oxen of
Aiiller's, and jest broke the Sabbath
day. o, Lord, please forgive me; please
forgive me, for you knows I'se nothing
but a miserable heather anyhow. Ii
yon'li jest forgive me this time I'll
never do it again as long as live
'cepten ne gives me two dollars and a
half day"
At this point was obliged to beat a
hasty retreat, but l am thinking that
poor old Uncle Phil isn't the only two
dollar-and-a-half Christian in this world.

This parable for Communists is
from one of Ingersoll's speeches I:
"Here is shoe shop. One man in
the shop IS always busIIy at work
during the day always industrious.
In the evening he goes couriing a
good, nice girl. There are five other
men in the shop who don't do any
such thing. They spend half their
working hours in lnating anu their
evenings in dissipation. This first
young man by and by cuts out from
these others and gets shoe shop of
his own. Then he marries this girl.
Soon he is able to take his wife out
to ride of an evening. The five la
borers, his former companions, who
see him indulging in his little luxury,
retire TO tneignboring saloon and
pass resolution that there is an
eternal struggle between labor an,l
capital"

MAN that is married to a woman is
of many days and full of trouble. In
the morning he draweth his salary
and in the evening behold it is all
gone. 1t is as a tale that Is told, it
vanisheth and no one knows whittier
it goeth. He riseth up clothed in the
chilly garments of the night, and
seeketh the somnolent paregoric
wherewith to soothe the cholic bowels
of his infant posterity. He becometh
as the horse or OK, and drawelh the
chariot of his offspring. He spendeth
his shekels in the purchase of fine
linen to cover the bosom of his family,
yet himself is seen in the gates of tho
city with but one suspender. Yea, he
is altogether wretched.
