The Massachusetts Legislature is considering
new snti-tramp law. The bill provides that
all persons who rove about from place to place
begging, or who stroll over the country without
lawful occasion or lawful occupation shall be
held to be vagrants, and any vagrant not a
resident OF the state shall be considered q
tramp. Any vagrant who begs, or steals, not
having known and lawful residence within
the state, shall upon conviction be sentenced
to three years. imprisonment in the state prison
or state workhonse. 1t will be seen that the
bill covers tramps VINO are citizens Of the. state
as well as those from abroad. because il con-
siders as tramps all who have no lawful, known,
/ or fixed rosidencs in the state The bill is
modelled spon the Connecticut law, which has
pretty effectualIy rid that state Of !ramps
Though thers have been only three or four
convictions upder IT, Under the laws, lawful
residence is gained by owning or renting q
house, or living at a lodging, hotel or boarding
place, a certain length or time, 30 as to be-
come legal resident OF some ward or town
shl. The Connecticut law has not, thus far
worked any wrong to any innocent person
but IT has sent horde Of tramps and vagrantl
ont Of that state No resident or strsnge,
need become tramp, however unfortunate
because the poor laws afford lawful means o
relief until honest work can be obtained.

Ona recent Sunday, Henry Ward Beecher
delivered sermon on honesty, in the course
of which be squarely declared himself in favor
of the taxation of church property. He said !:
But what ought You RI. e., Plymouth church
to do !? The crying evil Of our time is lying
and dishonesty. Some think it is heterodoxy
in the doctrine OF the atonement, but it is lying
and dishonesty IA voice, Amen The
church which does not bear witness against
this is eaten out by dry rot. There Is need OF
stand in the churches upon this matter OF
taxation In Booklyn. There is an essential
spirit Of dishonesty in this matter. Men resort
to ali manner or duplicity, and still wear tho
profession OF religion to escape paying their
snare for the support OF the government and
the institutions OF society I believe taxss
should be shared alike. There should be taxes
on churches and on ministers, on everything
but the state institutions. Why should not my
salary be taxed just the same as that Of a bank
president? Applause. Men say churches
should not be taxed because they are for the
good OF morals. So ara all regulated institu-
Iflons, including the family. There is great
need OF witnessesin our churches for honesty
I'm accounting FOR property and honesty in the
Payment OF taxes 'en are sneaks in TIN:
mater Some who are worth millions pay only
nils. Rich men get into churches and smear
lover their dishonesty with a varnish OF religion
They engender jealousies IN whole commupi
ties. Poor men cay they have to bear the
whole burden OF taxation. Honesty Is ths
John the Baptist OF the gospel Morality il
not religion, but there is no religion without
morality. May you have here a public senti
mcnt that shall have.s purgative aud healinl
influence upon society.
Tbs is not the first time that Mr.. Beeche
has indicated bis position in favor Of the tax
alton OF church property; but this expression
is notable from its having been made from hi
pulpit in the course OF sermon on honesty.

Is hushsd, which once bad power to charm
And make all hearts rejoices
Some barque liesstrandsi on the beech,
Whose softly dipping oar
Once kept glad time to the happy song;
And merry craft it bore:
And il thou wouldst not dip the oar,
And z sall alone to sea-
Go seek some other lonely heart
To row the boat with thee.
Aud as above the waters blue,
Your light boat glides along.
Point to the silver linlne''
os the clouds that Ger You thropg:
Sing of the hight and Joy that comes.
After tbe night Of woe,
! And Of the hEghter, better home
Where joys perennial flow.
And softly Whisper OF tnat rIiohus
Whose presence, like the light,
Makes life SO bright and beautiful
There is more day than night
The Friend who never leaves us
Alone to grope our way,
But makes our ''path shine brighter
Unto the perfect day."
Rise above self, and then some heart
Will ever 9 lovingly
Be listening to your happy song.
And row the boat Tor thee:
Some hand will gladly pluck the thorns
That in your pathway lie;
And Christ himself will lead you on
To home beyond the sky.
