their strong government consists of sold

In the United States.

To show the meanness of Senator
Hartshorn in getting Washington town.
chip divided into two election precincts,
and also to show that the scheme was
wholly political, it is only necessary to
show how the township was divided. By
the bill, only about one third of the
township is included in the Mt. Union
College precinct. Strasburgh, though
only a trife over three. miles from Mt.
Union College, is placed in the Free.
burgh precinct, though the distance to
Freeburgh is nearly five miles. The Sc.
Cret Of it all is that S~trasburgh is Demo-
cratic, and the Hartshorns did not want
them in their College precinct, to bother
them and watch the polls. This expla.
nation will be understood by all who
know the political bigots who run Mt
Union College.

INJURED to himself--"she may refuse me,
but still she shall know that there can
be wild, devoted second love" And
he told her all the next morning as she
was arranging some new flowers the
gardener had brought for her tiny con-
servatory. George dwelt on the fervency
of his love for Ally-he described with
manly sincerity her girlish beauty, and
confessed nobly his deep affection for
even her memory-the maiden blushed,
and tears trembled In her bright eyes
as he dwelt on the sad years after they
parted.
" But why did you not write to her ?"
she said, in low tones, as she bent over
fragrant plant.
g / did, over and again, but in utter
desperation, for knew not even where
she lived"
"She never received your letters
said Miss Morton, turning toward him
he gazed at her wildly" George
Georgel ~ whispered she, as she drew
from her breast the little locket, ''and
have you not recognized your little
Ally ?"
1t was indeed sweet Ally Ray. But
we will leave our hero and heroine to
enjoy their delirium of love, while we
explain in sober language how the little
Ally Ray was thus metamophosed into
the brilliant Mary Morton.
Her uncle had become distinguished
man. The Eastern and Northern States
send many such men as Elder Morton
out into the far west, to seek their for
tunes, and the habits of self dependence
they are early taught, make them strong
the strife and struggle of life.
Ally Rays name at her christening
had been Mary Alice. Uncle Eldred
loved better to call her Mary, for the
only daughter he ever had, and who
died in her childhood, had been named
Mary, after Alice's mother, his only
sister. Many forgot at last that Ally
was not his daughter, and the old man
wished that the world should think her
his child. Through his indulgence and
care she had every opportunity of edu-
cation. Keen natural abilities, united
to the earnest desire of fitting herself as
an equal bride for George when they
should meet, accomplished much; and
at flve.and-twenty the brilliant belle
Mary Morton would never have been
taken for the modest, gentle little Ally
Ray. Life has many such changes,

The Work Of Six Centuries.

That cathedral over in Cologne, which
has just been finished after six or seven
hundred years of building, was the sub
ject of popular superstition that it
would never be completed. This is the
only way in which the superstition is
accounted for: The legend is that the
plan of the cathedral as it stands to-day
was suggested by the devil, who appear
ed on the bank of the Rhine to a young
architect, who was about to drown
himself because the archbishop wouldn't
accept his design for the structure. The
devil offered the architect the present
plan in exchange for his soul. He asked
for twenty-four hours to consider the
proposition, and consulted his confessor,
who told him when the devil showed
him the design again the next day, to
snatch it with his left hand, at the same
time drawing relic of st. Ursula from
under his robe with his right hand, and
striking the devil on the brow with it.
The architect carried out the instruc-
tions, but Satan did not give up the
design so easily, and snatched at it to
get it back, tearing off the upper part of
it, and saying, "that's cunning trick
of the Church, but the design which you
seize shall never be finished, and your
name shall remain unknown The
architect got his piece of the design
adopted, but died of a broken heart from
disappointed ambition. This legend
has been firmly believed for centuries,
and may he believed by some yet, though
the cathedral has actually been finished.
