General Fitzpatrick told the following good
story at a recent ratification meeting: The
position of the democrats reminded him of
two brothers. who had to divide equally a
flock of sheep left them by their father at his
death. One of the brothers was named John.
the other Bill. John was a quiet bow. but a
sharp chap after all. Bill was a little inclined
to run wild, but was a pretty good sort of a
fellow. and when the sheep were to be divid-
ed, he told his brother to go ahead and separ-
ate them into two equal parts, and it would
be all right. John did so. He put all the fat
sheep into one pen. and all the skinny. half
fed ones in the other. There was one old
wether named Tom hat his brother Bill had
had for playmate, and John thought he'd
put that old wether into the cheap lot of
sheep, SO as to reconcile Bill to the rest of
the flock. So he told Bill that he had got the
sheep all divided. and asked him to come out
and select his flock. He told him he could
take his pick. Bill walked out to where the
sheep were. and looking at the old wether
said: Whats that. Tom, you here? used
to like you once, but can't stand the COM
pany you're in. I'll take the other flock"
lUproarious laughter And so it is with
our friend Hancock to-day. lie is in mighty
bad company.

last Sunday on the crime and hanging of
Chastine Cox. In his sermon he said:
Bad women lead men to death and to hell
\ bad woman is the devil personified on earth
She sucks the life blood out of the body and out
of the soul. She appears all right to you as
long as you can crafty her with money and
dress. even though you murder to get them,
and then she does not wait for YOU to be
hanged before she turns and seeks another
victim. Oh. do not suffer this sad picture to
turn you away from women. God forbid that
good woman is an angel on earth. She is
heavens best gift to MAJ. The sweetest
word pronounced by the human tongue is
mother. Mother. wife-can two sweeter,
dearer words be even thought of? Woman is
the Archimedean lever that moves the world
As wife and mother she shapes the course
Of races and controls the destiny of CONT
nents. Every man who elevates his fellows,
who leaves behind him footprints on the
sands of time worthy of coming youth, owes
his first and best impulse to the early tesch-
ings of his mother. 1t is against the associ-
alton with bad women that | would warn

Americans in English Society.

IL. j. Jennings in N. Y. World.]
The American cousin is, asked to theatres,
concerts and picture-shows, and if he comes
with judicious recommendations, he may add
to these amusements any number of evening
parties-like friend of mine in London, who
fgoes OUT about seven times every night, and
has to eat several breakfasts and luncheons
berore he begins the regular days work. When
once stranger has been we'll introduced and
"taken up'' in London the world is all before
him where to choose-noble lords crowd his
room, and mobiles invite him to dinner, or to
their most exclusive of parties In this re-
spect the American is always the most favored
of mortals, for there is no prejudice against
him on the score of nationality, as there is
against the German or Frenchman, and every
body feels at perfect liberty to ask him any
where. 1t requires little time and good
sponsor to get man into the proper set, still
more time to get woman there. Yet have
seen il done with great success, and in some
cases to the amazement of all Americans, eS-
pecally where women are concerned. But up
on that delicate ground will not touch. The
American ladies who have been made much of
this year aresin all respects admirable represen.
tatives of their countrywomen and we all hope
to see few ship-loads like them in the course
of the summer. The new minister, Mr.. Low
ell, is said to intend keeping more liberal
house than some of his predecessors have done,
and it is to be hoped that London will not al
ways be without a sort of center where "good
Americans" such as are said to Ego to Paris
when they die, and who go there too frequent
ly while they live, may meet and be met with
There are a few wealthy Americans perma-
nently resident in London but none of them
attempt to fill up this want. For the mere
passing tourist, London will probably be found
unusually cav this summer.

The Novelist's Secret.

A novel in which@the characters are careful
ly drawn, in which they act upon one another
as they mi ght do in familiar social life is felt
to be tame-the stimulus is wanting. The
more contrasts we get between appearances
and realities, prosperity and adversely, virtues
and vices, happiness and misery, wealth and
poverty, joy and despair, between yesterday
and to-day, the more the tale answers to de-
mand; for whereas the happiness of real life
consists in the fewness and moderation of these
contrasts, the harmony of circumstances, the
fitness of the man for his work and place, the
gentle sequence of events the novel pleases by
showing life in a directly opposite aspect by
crowding it with startling transitions, setting
every condition check by JOwl with its oppo-
site, vulgarity with high place; virtuous SEEM
ing with inward depravity; by caricaturing the
instability of earthly things, reducing the most
assured position to mere house of cards: by
the constant contrast between what seems and
what is. OF course contrasts, as stock in trade
cost the inferior artist very little He regards
them as selt-acting; they are to impress by their
own force and weight; but they are not the less
a supreme test of power. The writer who can
apprehend and portray all the features of a
strong contrast of passion and feeling is master
OF his craft. What "a grasp of the position, for
instance is shown i'll the passage in Jane
Eyre when what was to have been the hero
ines wedding-day is turned to desolation, and
she describes the contrast of feeling-"A
Christmas frost has come at Midsummer"
