A Good Example.


The English government has set us good
example in its dealings with LEROY, the MUIR
derer of Mr.. Gould. A jury having convicted
him, and it being clear that he was of sound
mind. or responsible for his actions at the time
he committed the crime, no attention was paid
to the plea that insanity was hereditary in his
family. When he had confessed not only this
but another cOld-bloOded murder the very en-
ormity Of his offences gave rise to the theory
that ne was possessed with a homicdal mania
out this did not save him. If such a doctrine
Should ever prevail the more dabOlical a mans
crimes might De the better would be his chances
1i escape from punishment in this world. The
Ehshsh authorities did not adopt that doctrine

there is the expression about the nostrs of the
military moustache and beard that seem at war some
how with the gentle eye beams above. He has most
interesting face that is the exponent of what he
is-modest, gentle, thoughtful, patient and true.
That he is the right in the right place is in
shown by the hosts of coored people pressing in

older man in personality, bears certain resemblance
to Secretary Blaine He has the strong features,
but more serene presence. A native of South Caro-
lima, when boy he went to Louisiana and through
the entire he (what it cost any Southern man
SO much to be) a staunch Union man. He is one of
ners a most gentle gentleman.
Wayne MacVeagh, born in 1888, looks even younger.
He comes of vigorous Scotch stock and graduated
from Yale College, at the age of twenty. He married
the daughter of Simon Cameron but by his brother
fn-aw at least, is not deemed one of the cameron
can.' Indeed the politics of himself and brother
in-aw are constantly opposed to each other, though
both are Republicans. Wayne MacVeagh Is a gentle
man of elegant bearing and address. Even the part
ing of his hair in the middle cannot invade the intel
lectuaity of his head and countenance His forehead
His eyes set wide apart fact that tells of excel
lent things in face especially when the eyes
wide and long, his. His is long, high and
straight. He wears moustache, with neither whis-
kers nor beard His chin is pronounced with marked
length from his to its tips His expression 10
that of n clear, far-seeing man. His manners are
suave, as well as elegant. His temperament is that
of man of high nelystrung nerves, rather than of
muscle.

Decencies of Gods Worship.
In his opening address at the New
York Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which assembled at
Yonkers last week, Bishop Bowman
alluded to subject which well deserves
to be made matter of solemn charge
to ministers and congregations of
more than one denomination. Calling
attention to the want of reverence in
divine worship on the part of pastors
and people, especially in the conclud-
ing parts of public service, he said:

service at which the pastor wrestled with his
the over
We have often been painfully i'm
pressed by witnessing this irreverence,
both in the pulpit and in the pews.
Without starting any question as to
what degree Of reverence is to be paid
under all circumstances to building
which has been formally and solemnly
consecrated to the service of the triune
God, no one who has any religious SEN
slbillty, or sense Of the fitness of
things, can doubt that, when con-
gregation Of Christian people assem-
bles for prayer and praise to the Most
High, God is there present in a special
sense, and that his presence should be
recognized by reyerent demeanor on
the part of the worshipers. He has
said: I'm all places where | record my
name | will come unto thee, and | will
bless thee" The reality and sacred
ness of this presence is made more
impressive by the words of the Divine
Redeemer, where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there
am | in the midst of them" The very
fact that creatures are thus assembled
in the presence Of the Creator should
be enough to awaken reverent awe,
and the consciousness that they come
as sinners to supplicate pardon and to
offer praise should impress them with
solemnity at the very threshold of the
house Of God. It seems almost as if
we were writing for heathen, to say
that light and frivolous conversation
on ordinary topics before the services
are actually commenced is unbecom-
ing, and yet we have seen persons
come into church, and after bowling
their heads for a moment 1--WE suppose
to ask the blessing of Cod, begin to
converse with the same freedom and
with as little reference to the purpose
for which they came, as if they were
in concert-room
When we are invited by friend to
social gathering, every ones ideas
Of the fitness of things, as well as the
customs of society, dictate special prep
aration, even in dress, and a propriety
of bearing while in company. How
much more imperative is it that they
who come by invitation into the pres
ence of the Most High should have
becoming reverence of spirit, and
should maintain a reverent demeanor
while engaged in the acts Of prayer
and praise, and to the very end.
Watts version of the 48th Psalm is
very suggestive in this connection:

JUDGE JOHNSON, of California, in
passing sentence upon murderer who
was drunk when the deed was COM
mltted, gave his opinion of dram-sell-
ing in the following vigorous Ian
guage:
"Nor shall the place be forgotten in
which occurred this shedding of blood.
It was in one Of the thousand ante
chambers of hell, which mar, like
plague spots the fair face Of our state.

the owner of a groggery for the price
of this globe converted into precious
ore. For the pitiful sum of dime he
furnished that poison which made the
deceased a fool, and this trembling
culprit demon. How paltry the
price of two human lives! This traffic
is tolerated by law, and therefore the
vendor has committed an offence not
cognizable by earthly tribunals. But
in the sight of God, he who deliber-
ately furnishes the draught which
inflames men to anger and bloodshed
is particeps criminis in the turpitude
of the deed Is it not high time that
the sinks of vice and crime should be
rigidly accountable to the law Of the
land, and placed under the bar of an

A Babe Shot by Its Father.

Hearing the report of pistol in
the bedroom where her infant son was
sleeping, last evening, Mrs. Beck, of
Jacob-st. and Evergreen-ave., Brook
lyn, hastened into the room to find
that the boy had been shot by his
father. The neighbors were alarmed
and a policeman was summoned, who
took the father, John Beck, aged
thirty-two, milkman, in custody, and
locked him up at the Ninth Sub-Pre-
cinct Police Station. He was much
intoxicated, and said that when he
took down his revolver from a nail
where it was hanging, it was accident
ally discharged, the ball entering the
left breast Of his son, age eight
months, who was lying in cradle.
The child died in moment. The
Coroner will investigate the case to-
day.-N. Y. Tribune.

THE CHILDREN LAUGHED AND SANG.

Il
1t was in the chill December
That the Angel of Death came by,
And he rustled his wings of darkness
AS he swept through the wintry sky:
A household of happy creatures
Dwelt quiet, and free from care,
And the angel stole in softly,
And stood all silent there.
(But the children laughed and sang at their play;
Never fear nor pang had hey.)
And the angel swiftly in silence
Struck home the mortal blow,
And in the wintry morning
He laid the father low:
And wildly the sorrowful mother,
Bewtldered and stunned with woe,
Walled in her lone bereavement,
And wished that she too might go:
SBut the children laughed and sang at their play;
Never fear nor a pang had they.)
Cold in the lonely chamber
And they laid the delicate hower-wreaths
Upon his quiet breast;
And forth from his home they bore him,
And hid him from sound and sight;
And they heaped the cold earth above him
(But the boys went home to their happy play;
Nevera fear nor a pang had they)
And often the childish footsteps
Are turned to their fathers grave,
Where the grass with its glistening hoarfrost,
Lies over that heart SO brave;
And sometimes they watch their mother
Bending in sorrow and pain;
And they say in their childish voices:
,p,,t VIII VII papa never come again ?'
Never a fear nor pang have they.)
So God in his infinite pity
Shuts the eyes of the children dear,
And they see not the fell destroyer,
Though their eyes are so bright and clear:
With its terrible pangs and stings;
And for them no broodfng future
Spreadeth its threatening wings.
All they see is the present-to-day;
And so they laugh and sing at their play.'
