Brushing Away Gossip.

Rev. Rowland Hill was jealous
though eccentric clergyman. He had a
large fund of humor, and frequently
drew upon it, in order to "point o
moral or adorn tale" On one occa-
sion, while visiting friend in the
country, the conversation degenerated
into idle gossip, and the characters of
several friends and acquaintance were
severely reviewed.
Mr.. Hill was much annoyed, but he
remained silent until there was a lull
in the tattling. Then he rose and rang
the bell. The servant appeared.
"Have you a hearth-brush and dust
pan handy?'' said Mr.. Hill.
eyes, SIR replied the servant, won

When they were brought to him he
began brushing the carpet.
GA prodigious quantity of dust and
dirt has been scattered this evening, I"
he remarked, as he brushed away,
"and I think it had better be re-
moved"
The hint thus picturesquely conveyed
was taken. During the remainder of
the evening the conversation was more

Swearing Punished by Law.

Judge Pershing, of Schuylkil county,
has just decided case in his court which
presents some almost-forgotten features
Of the law of this State against swear
ing. John FL. Bashore, AN excitable and
somewhat-profane citizen of the county,
on a recent occasion got off volley Of
twenty-three separate and distinct oaths,
fol which he was arrested and taken be-
fv4e q Justice of the Peace, and. under
the law of April %, 1874, fined $160S.
This fine he refused to pay. He was
committed to jail, and the case was taken
before Judge Pershing on writ of GER
tiorari. The act of 1894 provides that :
eff any person Of the age of 16 years
or upward shall profanely curse or swear
by the name of God, Christ Jesus, or the
Holy Ghost, every person so offending,
being thereof convicted, shall forfeit
and pay the sum of 67 cents for every
such profane curse or oath. * *
And whosoever of the age of 16 years
OF upward shall curse or swear by any
other name or thing than as aforesaid,
and shall be convicted thereof, shall for
felt and pay the sum of 40 cents for
such curse or oath. -
Exception was taken to the ruling of
the Justice on the ground that the arrest
Of Bashore should have been by sum-
mons and not by warrant, and suit
should have been brought by an indi-
vidual informer instead of in the name
of the Commonwealth. These excep-
tons were overruled, the decisions Of
the higher courts being that the action
was properly brought. But the Justice
failed to return the evidence taken be-
fore him, and this omission Judge
Pershing decided to be fatal to the pro-
ceedings, and he thereupon reversed the
decision of the magistrate. The point
of the decision, however, is in the pithY
conclusion with which Judge Pershing
wound up his decision. He says:
"The general prevalence of profane
swearing indicates that the statute under
which this defendant was convicted had
long been buried out Of sight. Perhaps
its resurrection in this case may accom-
plish some good, by showing those who
have no regard for the law of God that
the law of the land imposes on them a
penalty Of from 40 to 81 cents, to be
followed by imprisonment, accompanied
with diet of bread and water. on re-
fusal to pay for each and every time they
pollute the atmosphere with their pro-
family. "-Pitts6awyh Post.

Jewish Tolerance.

The other day Jewish minister-nos
in New York city-was sharply repri.
manded by his congregation for his per.
sistent attacks on Christianity. We ar
piaud heartily their action not only be-
cause Christianity is the religion Of the
large majority Of citizens of our country,
but. because there are other and weight
Ter subjects to engage a Jewish minis
ter's attention. Constant assaults by the
Jewish press and pulpit on the beliefs
and traditions of Christianity show poor
taste and tact, and may lead to results
which friends of religious liberty would
deeply regret There is such quality
as Journalistic loudness," which may
react as unfavorably as "social loudness"
on the community. When Judaism is
assailed, let us repel the accusation and
then cease. At least, let not the Jew, in
the pulpit or press, show spirit Of big
otry and intolerance toward his neigh
Dor of another creed, which sprang from
our own and may return to it again. Of
all men, the Jew should be the most
tolerant, for he has suffered the worst
from the intolerance of others.-Jeaoish

Newly.Painted Rooms.

The danger of inhaling the vapor of
turpentine has been long known, and its
pernicious influence on the health is be-
You'd all doubt, as has been verified in
several cases occurring in persons sleep
ing in newly-painted rooms, some Of
which have even proved fatal. Several
theories, more or less plausible, have
been propounded to explain the preju-
dicial effects of the inhalation Of these
vapors; but, whatever be the correct ex-
PLANTATION, there is no doubt of the dan
ger of occupying room recently paint
ed in which turpentine has been en-
ployed, before complete desiccation has
taken place. It was pointed out by the
Council Of Hygiene, that sudden death
which recently happened in Paris was
attributable to this cause, it being shown
that it could not be ascribed to the lead
which entered into the composition Of
the paint of the room in which the de-
ceased slept. The lead, being fixed
and non-volatile, cannot in these cases
be accused of being the offending ele-

Knew His Business.

A conductor on one of the Chicago
street-cars suddenly experienced relg-
ion and joined small flock in the neigh
borhood of his residence. None more
devout than he was to be found in the
country round, and every spare moment
from his business was put into some
thing energetic toward strengthening
up the little church into which he had
projected himself. Noticing his interest,
his pastor, to encourage him, showed
him along all he could, and in short
time the new convert was shining light
among his fellow-worshipers, and the
Christian grace with which he passed
the contribution-plate evoked nickels
from what before had been barren
pockets.
One Sunday morning a hoodlum was.
noisy, and the conductor quietly ordered
him ont. He went, but last Sunday
evening he appeared with a mob of dis
solute companions, bent On difficulty.
The conductor kept an eye on the leader
until the disturbance became unbear-
able.
"Put on breaks moment, parson,'
said he, "till look after this fare"
Approaching the thug, he went for
him, and wiped up several yards of aisle
with him, and then stood him no his

The hoodlum said he did not have to
pay.
"Five cents for this ride on the COS

Fine Words.

Simple language is on all accounts
preferable to high-sounding words when
ordinary matters are discussed. We
wish young people could be taught that
it does not add cubit to the stature of
a house to call it residence ;" that a
church or even Westinghouse is as
venerable as the "sacred edifce ;" that
it is no more genteel to say "retire !"
than to go to bed; that the garment so
fondly, slowly covered with side plait-
ings, SO coldly and quickly frayed out
along the paving stones, is really gown
and not promenade costume y that
it need not bring blush to the fair
cheek Of even Mr.. Podsnap's young
person to say leg instead of limb, !"
when leg is meant that the supper at
an evening party is not "the entertain
ment;" and that there are well-founded
objections to the use of "nicely" as an
adjective describing ones health.

Letting little thing which it is right to

A contemporary gives one OF two warn

A letter-carrier in one of our large

reaching the postofice, after long
round Of delivery, a letter in his bag
that he had overlooked.
The carrier was very tired and hum

have to walk to. return and deliver it.
The letter was an llnimportant, ordin-
ary-looking missive. He thrust it in his
pocket, and delivered it on his first
round the next day.
What consequences followed?
For want of that letter great firm
had failed to meet their engagements J;
their notes had gone to- protest mill

were thrown out of employment.
The letter carrier himself was dis
charged for his oversight and neglect.
His family suffered during the winter for
many Of the necessaries of life, but his
loss was Of small account compared to
the enormous misery caused by This sin
gle neglect.
Another case
A mechanic, who had been out of work
long time in New York, went, last
September, to collect 81 small sum of
money due to him. The gentleman who
owed it being annoyed at some trife irri-
tably refused.
The wretched man went back to his
miserable home, ard, maddened by the
sight of his hungry family, went out to
the backyard and hanged himself.
The next morning an old employer
sent to offer him permanent employment.
Here was life lost and family left
paupers because bill of only dollar
