Fer the FARMER AND MECHANIC
The Modern MOlOch.

The worship of the ancient Moloch was
one of the most horrible of the popular
idolatries. To propitiate the favor OF this
supposed powerful god, children were cast
alive into the red-hot arms OF his braZen
statue. The death was short and swift but
Oh how f~earfully cruel! (See Bible Dlctlon-
axy.) Children are sacrificed to a modern
Moloch, and the deaths are slower and more
decorous inch by inch the dear little ones
die, and tears are shed over them, JUST DIS
tears were shed by heart-broken mothers

Mrs. Jeremiah Cook was the wife of a
thriving grocer. Apparently her every
wish was gratiied. She had good health,
plenty of money, an affectionate husband,
and four beautiful children. But she had
two crosses, which were never-dylng mortl-
t~ications to her pride and vanity: The hrst
cross was her husbands plebian name.
Her next door neighbor. and most intimate
friend, the wife of a shoe merchant, was
Mrs. Augustus ST. Maur. Oh how Mrs.
Cook envied her dear Julia this aristocratle
tognomen! She endeavored to improve
her W husbands name, by adding DE
Lorme to the jeremiah, on the plea tina
Cook was SO common a name, that his
Christian name must be something remark
able to distinguish him from the Other
Cooks. She knew quite well that she had
never heard of another jeremiah Cook, bu1
vanity is so demOralizing a vice. that i
usually brings hypocrisy and many other
sins in it's train. She also pursuaded her
spouse to change one o of his surnanle Int

without having had any prewous
training seemed to know exactly
what was required, and played his
part to the emminent satisfaction of
all beholders. After having exhib-
tied himself on all the principal
streets, he discovered that he was at
tracing too much attention from the
other dogs in town and ran home to
his masters yard for shelter. The
