Why Patty Spoke in Church,

If the minister had asked any other
question, it never would have happened.
If it had been on any other day than
that one particular day, it never would
have happened.
II any other boy in the whole wide
universe, excepting Robby, had been
with Patty, it never would have hap
pened.
Above all, if it had been two strangers
standing before the altar instead of Sis
ter Susie and Willie Norris, it never
could have happened.
But it did happen, and that is all 1
know about it.
If any one here present, said the
minister, looking kindly upon the sweet
bride with the brave young man beside
her, and then glancing calmly over the
little churchful of wedding guests,
knows Of any reason why this man and
this woman should not be joined together
in the holy bonds of matrimony, let him
speak now, or -
What's all that2' whispered Robby,
in great scorn, to Patty. Il guess he
doesn't know. There amt any bounds
OF materony about it.
That was enough. Robby was her
oracle. Up jumped Patty, anxious to
set things right, and determined that
the wedding should go on, now tha
Sister Susie had on her white dress and
orange-howers and everything.
Il dol she called out in sweet, reso-
lutte voice, aud holding up warning
finger. Il do. Please wait, sir There
amt any materony about it at all. They
came on purpose to be married.
20 course they didr muttered Robby.
Everybody stared at Patty. 1t was
dreadful moment, but the wedding went
on, all the same.
And Patty and Robby were the very
first to kiss the bride.

BeacOnsfleId and His -,

A Boston man and his daughter were
sitting on the front piazza, when the
father requested his daughter to read
him the evening paper.
What shall 1 read aboutH' queried
the Boston girl, as she opened the
paper.
Read the European news, responded
the father.
The Boston girl began: 1T is rumored
that Beaconsfield will not accept the
decoration of the'-and then she blushed
deep red, and stopped.
Proceed, said the father, after q
pause.
4 cannot, returned the Boston girl,
blushing still deeper.

surprise.
Because 1 do not like to- replied the
Boston girl, painfully.
Nonsense, exclaimed the father,
sternly, read the item, / tell you.
The Boston girl caught up the paper
in desperation, glared at it in a stony
manner, attempted to speak, and tainted
dead away.
When she had been restored and the
excitement had subsided, the father took
the paper out behind the house, turred
to The dreadful item, and read
Tt is rumored that Beaconsfeld will

Light in q Dark Place.

The following letter is worthy Of deep
consideration. II is reward TO honest
sympathy, and a sterling rebuke to
assumed charity. 1t is taken from Hdr-
per'S Weekly of a recent date.
Ayoung man nineteen years old, was
committed to the Jail in Richmond
county, N. Y, for theft. He proved to
be an old offender even at that age, and
had been already in the state prison. He
was disowned by his friends as irreclaim-
able, and was seriously i'll. The sheriff,
who is the iailer in that county, and his
wife, were very kind to him, and Mrs.
Floyd, one of the ladies Of the Jail
Committee Of the state Charities Aid
County Association, often visited him.
The young man was evidently deeply
touched, and upon the expiration Of his
term the sheriff humanely obtained a
place for him in an honest industry. A
few days since he sent the following let
ter to the sheriff, which is unquestion-
ably sincere, and very suggestive and
encouraging:
'Sm,-I think it duty to write to you
and tell you how l get along, because /
never can forget the way, sheriff, You
treated me while in your charge. I
promised you l would try to do right,
and am trying to keep my promise. l
am getting along better than anticipa-
ted l should. am boarding in a very
nice place, and feel quite comfortable.
Mrs. Floyd writes to me, and Mr.. But
Ter comes to see me often. Tonight l
write three letters-one to you, one to
Mr.. Vaughn deputy sheriff., and one
to Mrs. Floyd-feeling in the best of
spirits, and as good as ever. Sheriff, 1
am not school-man, and can not COM
mand in the English language words
adequate to express my gratitude to you,
Mrs. Brown, and Mr.. Vaughn, for you
have lifted me, an unhappy convict, up,
and placed me on the first step Of the
ladder, and once on the first step, it will
not be impossible, with the help of the
Divine assistance, TO ascend the rest.
might slip, but even should l slip one
step, it will be my ambition to reascend
two. -. L ask you to remember me to
Mrs. Brown, such as q son would desire
to be remembered to a mother, also to
her kind sister, for, sheriff, the only
friends / have in this world are those
made in your Jail, 4 will try and ad-
here to my good resolutions. l am fully
aware that 1 have all up hill work before
me, and that have great deal OF pre-
iudice to overcome, in the shape of the
taunts and ieers of those virtuous per-
sons who will never give fallen brother
credit for sincere desire to reform. -
Nevertheless, I hope ultimately to live
down my former bad reputation, and
should l succeed, you can take the credit
to yourself, in conjunction with the re-
mainder of your family, and Mrs. Floyd,
for having saved one fallen creature from
ruination; and it will be another proof
that there are few hearts SO utterly de-
praved as to be impervious to acts of
humanity and kindness

The Loom OF Life.

lie Loom OF Lie,
All day, all night | can hear the Jar
OF the loom of lifei ana near and far
IL thrills with deep aud mufie cd sound,
AS the tireless wheels go always round.
Busily, ceaselessly goes tho loom,
In the light OF day and midnight gloom;
The wheels are turning early and late,
And the wool is woye in warp OF fate.
Click, Clackl there's thread Of love woye in
CLICK, ClacS! and another OF love and ain;
What checkered thing will this life be,
When We feo It unroll In eternity.
Time with face like a mystery,
And hands IS busy as hsnds can be,
sits at the loom, with its warp outspread,
To catch in its meshes each glancing thread.
When shall this wonderful life be done?
In hundred years, perhaps, or one;
Or tomorrow, who knoweth? not you or I;
But the wheels turn on and the shuttles fly.
All, sad-eYed weaver, the years are slow,
But each one is nearer the end know;
Some day the last thread shall be wove in;
God grant 1t be love instead OF sin.
We are sinners Of warp for this life web; say,
Do we furnish the weaver thread each day;
II were better then, o my friends to spin
a beautiful thread, than thread OF sin.

CLEVELAND, TENN, MARCH II, 1880.

George Reynolds, but he, too, was gone.
The Medbury gossip was right he
thought. This tea party is showing
which way the wind is blowing He
walked to the window and looked out,
deserving RIchel Moffatt's Auttsring
garments down winding path. George
Reynolds was by her side, and the way
they took was towards the south. Away
off the north the Judas tree stretched
out its pink branches in the moonlight.
The wind sets unfavorably,' Walter
Gibbs said, with a sigh.
Half an hour later, George Reynolds
passed Walter in the hall. His brow
was clouded and his lips worked nerv-
ously. He looks like one on whom the
north wind has blown Walter Gibbs
thought, and went in pursuit of Rachel
Moffatt,
He found her standing in the moon
light, her long shadow rejecting from
her figure the branch Of Judas tree
she held in her hand. He approached
her and stood where her shadow fell.
Rachel, he said, with all his heart in
his voice, Il would like to walk in your
shadow henceforth, if you are going
that way
Rachel Moffatt looked up with startled
eyes into the face above her; the pink
flowers with their fatal significance fell
from her hand, and the irregular out
lines of two confused shadows, never
henceforth to be parted, lay upon the
greensward. In the frosts of the fol.
lowing winter the Judas tree died, and
the place thereof knew it no more.

Oxygen as cure for hydrophobia is
stated to have proved successful, by the
Lyons MedicdIs. The case is reported
by Drs. Schmidt and zebeden, from
Russia. The first symptoms Of rabies
appeared seventeen days after the in
jury. The patient was made to iphale
three cubic feet of oxygen, aud two
hours afterwards he was in o perfect
state of calm. Two days afterwards the
symptoms Of rabies reappeared, and
another inhalation Of oxygen Was ad.
ministered with the succoss. This time
the inhalation was continued for forty
five minutes. A slight dyspnea, which
persisted after the disappearance Of the
graver symptoms, was treated for three
weeks by the monobromide Of camphor.

MONDAY. APRIL 10. 1850.
Iris NowIsr pIeasant to Dem,

IT Is NowIsE pleasant to Demo-
Gratis to observe that the Transcript
is soready to aim its discourteous
remarks at those in the Democratic
party, while it rarely displays its
ability in criticising those opposed
to Democratic principles, who are
continually abusing the party and
its bestamen. Argumentative crih-
cism is iunobjectionable; but dis
courteous Language is in violation of
genteel Journalism. While the
zraascriipt is entitled to believe and
to print its belief that HON. SAMUEL
j. TILDEN would be an ''unavoida-
BILE candidate for the Presidency"
others who believe to the contrary
have as much right to entertain
their opinions and express them too.
They have in fact the proof to offer
that Mr.. TILDEN has carried New
York every time he has been run,
that MR.. TILDEN is the only man
that has brought out the vote Of the
Democratic party in the last twenty
years in sufficient force to carry the
majority of 25O,00o in the Union,
with a. majority of the Electoral
College also. Again it is an ad-
mitted fact that John Kelly and his
handful of bolters in New York are
now the only hope of the Republi-
can party. Were Kelly and his
jesuiticial crew not in the pay of the
opponents of Mr. Tilden and the
Democratic party the election next
fall would be conceded before the
campaign began. By submission to
the decision of the Electoral Com
mission by which he was kept out of
the Presidential chair, Mr.. TILDEN
preserved the peace of the country,
and it was the general understand
ing then of the Democracy of the
country that he would be the candi-
date in 1880, and that he would be
elected easily. The Republicans
saw this and hence their bargain and
sale with John Kelly and the crew
who aim at the defeat of the Demo-
cratic party. The GAZETTE has
assailed no candidate for the nomi-
nation, and cannot be made to do so.
But it claims the right to defend any
and all of them from unjust attack.

OBJECTING TO IMPARTIAL JU-
RIEs.- The Republican, in sheer
wantonness attacks Senator Bayard
for originating and urging the pas
sage of a bill to destroy political
partiality in United States juries.
The bill passed both Houses of Con-
gress, was signed by President
Hayes, and became law last year
and so far has met the wishes of
both parties. The Republican how
ever, raises an objection and, as
usual, violates the truth in attempting
to state the intention of the Senator.
1t says:
"The bill introduced by Mr.. Bay
ard and which has become law pro-
vides that the United States iurv
panel shall be chosen by the United
States Marshals and a commissioner
of opposite politics. Owing to this
provision the jury panel of the Dis
trict Court Of Delaware, which sat
last September, consisted of l6 Dem
Ocrats and IA Republicans"
Any one will see that the law
has been improved, and rendered
politically impartial. Under the old
law the Marshals could select all
the jurors from one party; as was
done some years ago. Now, this is
not the case, and when the Demo-
Gratis come into power next year the
Republicans will be sure to have a
fair show in the jury box. The law
is so eminently just and proper that
we are surprised that any one should
object to it, unless they have some
unfair object in view.
