The question must once more
arise in the mind OF our Meridian
contemporary, whether there is a
h-lf Heretofore he has not be-
leved in the existence OF such u
place. II there is no such place,
whittier shall be consigned Assist
ant Postmaster General French,
who has Just given Mr. Jere Horn
his walking papersf The story, ms
told by the Baltimore Sun, is as
follows:
Mr. Jcre Horn, one Of the editors
of the Meridian (Miss.) Mercury,
was appointed to clerkship in the
postotiice department by Postmas-
er.General Key, at the instance Of
Senator Lamar. The Mercury is a
pronounced democratic newspaper,
and MIR. Horu's appointment was in
consequence the source OF much
dissatisfaction among republicans
here. Frequent comments OF an
adverse character were made, aud
the pOstmaster-General was lmpor-
tuned to remove Mr.. Horn, although
no charge was made that he did
not attend to his duties. The e.
publican newspaper printed several
violent attacks on Mr.. Horn, which
were intensified, perhaps, by rea.
son of a rum0r that Mr.. Horn had
threatened to cowhide Mr.. Clapp
the editor. The end OF II all was
that Mr.. Horn resigned bis position
a day or two ago, and although the
resignation appeared voluntary
the enemies OF Mr.. Horn alleg'
that it was at the Instance OF tn
Postmaster.General. This after
noon Mr.. Horn is out in u card
giving his version of the whole al
! fair. He says he was appointed
!, without personal solicitation, an'
:. that he has always attended to hi
duties. He belonged to the Han
cock club of his town, but whel
called upon he subscribed 1--WE DO
lars to the Garfield and Arthu
campaign fund, for which latter
however, he isvery much ashamed
He had intended, he says, to pa
the balance of the assessment, 0u
after reflection be concluded to r.
fuse to do 80. He SAYS Asslstau
Postmaster General French sal
he ought either to give up ms y
terest in the Mercafy Or resign b
Office, and he concluded to do I'd
latter.

time to time, called the ,attentionlof the
Presbyteries tothe subject and proposed
plans for the prosecution of the work.
So far as reports have been received it
appears that the work has been actively
prosecuted in at least twelve of the Pres
byteries, while nearly thirty others have
taken steps to an early beginning of it.
No statement of actual results can be
given for lack of information.
1t is greatly to be desired that means
could be afforded by the Church to push
this work in every Presbytery,, and, not
only to promote the, circulation of reli-
gious literature by regular colporteurs
but. by placing supply of books and
tracts In the hands of every evangelist and
of every pastor. isli o
AS result Of the operations of the
Committee during the year, it will be
seen that the income derived from royal
ties amounts to $1,955.55, leaving ST.
67F.41 as the amount taken from the con-
tributions of the churches for current ex-
penses; but as ,$1,150 worth of our pa
pers are distributed freely among the
ministers of our church, this may pro-
perly be regarded as part of the earn
ings of the Committee, so that practically
the expense to the church Of the opera
tions of the Committee, Gncluding the
Treasures s. work. the management of its
financial affairs, the oversight and pro-
motion Of colportage and Sabbath School
work, the editorial management of the
Sabbath School papers, the examination
OF new manuscripts and books, &C., over
and above its earnings is only 1927,
which is only IS per cent of the contribu-
tions and even this small cost. to the
church will be entirely met if those of
our churches and Sabbath Schools which
patronize outside and irresponsible pub
fishers will give preference to the papers
and helps authorized by the Assembly,
so that the subscription list may grow in
the future as it has done during the pre-
sent year
In concluding this report it is the
painful duty of the Executive Committee
to announce the decease, in March last, of
Hon. VIM. F. Taylor, who has been from
the organization of the Committee one
of its most faithful and useful members.
1t is the privilege of his associates in this
service to bear united testimony to the
earnestness of his spirit in this and all
other work for Christ and His cause, to
the value of his counsels in the conduct
of this department of the Church's work,
and to the high Christian character
which he maintained in all the relations
of life.

We'll, my man, what can do for you

The question was asked in a kindly
tone by an old gentleman looking through
a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles at
young boy on a narrow cot bedstead in
hospital ward
The boy looked up, saying sadly, 1
reckon there amt nothing to be done
now.

There ain no one but my sister Alice
and reckon she don want to come"
Why, don she care for you?
Yes but struck her yesterday"
Struck her I am very sorry to hear
that.
Yes, and was sorry after I did it,
for I never did that before; but I didn't
tell her so. And when l went out and
got my papers, jumped for car, and
slipped and here am; and the doctor
says I'm going to die. 1 reckon I've
always been pretty bad, and that I'll
never see Alice when she dies; for she s
good and kind, and she won't go where
I'm going. You see smoke, and swear,
and go with bad boys; and she don't

No. Would you like to see and talk

want some one to be kind to Alice, and
some one that's good. reckon you look
so. Would you mind going and telling
her all about it after I'm gone? And
tell her I'm sorry hit her, and L d never
hit her again, if wasn't going to die"
Suppose 1 60 and find her now" said
the old gentleman. "She may be won
dering where you are. Wouldn't you
like to see herr
Reckon I would and you may go if
you like"
After receiving directions for finding
Alice, the old gentleman left; and the
invalid boy closed his eyes YEARLY, only
to open them suddenly on feeling light
touch on his cheek. 1t was the kiss Of a
little girl
"You see brought her sooner than
you thought 1 would said the old gen.
tleman with smile; but l found her
just outside your door"
Tom Brady told me all about it, said
the girl, and came last night, but they
wouldn't let me in. Won't you soon be
well enough to come home again? It was
awful lonesome last night; and Mrs
Brady was cross because you had got hurt
and she was afraid she would lose her
rent. Don't you believe they d let me stay
here with you till you get well2 I've
got a whole dollar that I've saved, and
won't eat much"
