BENEyOLENCE ASTRAY.

The Springfield Republican which
is one of the most respectable papers,
published in the English language,
thinks with the news RS regards the
suggestion Of Cyrus W.. Field and
the movement Of the New York Cham
Der of Commerce to raise fund of
S25O,O0O. to be invested in United
States bonds for the use of Mrs Gar
field and her children. While it nd
mits, as does the News, That when
any event like the assassination of
the President comes near to the hearts
of the people everybody aches to do
something, it further says:
"This subscription looks like a bit
of gusll whose propriety will beques-
toned on IL sober second thought. Ii
the President should die and leave
his family in Strengthened cireum-
stances some such public provision
might be in order; but if James A
Garfield survives he is as we'll able to
care for his family as any other in
dependent American citizen. DR..
Mark Hopkins, of Williams College,
embodies good deal of personal
nobility but his family would be
likely to resent the circulation of o
subscription on this behalf. Don't
let us have any misplaced enthusiasm
forced upon a modest and self-re-
specting family
In further concurrence with the
position of the News are these ad
mirable observations Of the New
Yor. Sun: ~ Ill.
"Benevolence is q quality hardly
lower in rank than the religious SEN
timent. But there is no quality of
the human soul 80 exalted, that if
left to grope in the dark, it may not
take wrong direction. Thus when
the spirit Of Worship is allowed to
range wildly in blindness, it some
times leads to idolotry, to the worship
Of sticks and stones, and bats, and
mice, and birds, and fine clothes, and
stocks, and houses. Benevolence also
often goes astray. We think it goes
astray when it proposes toput a large
gift into the white and delicate hand
Of living Presidents wife. 1t seems
to us an insult to her. Her husband
still lives, and seems likely to live,
and to have the dispensation OF i'm
mense official patronage. She is be
lieved to have great influence over
him. Naturally she is expected to
be grateful. At all events she is hu-
man. If, for instance, Sir Cyrus W.
Field could by possibility be brought
to resign himself into the service OF
the government, and to supercede
that literary fcller," James Russell
Lowell, as Minister to England, how
could she say him nay after he had
been the active agent III giving her
quarter of million of dollars! Should
the President unfortunately die, then
we say, let million of dollars be
raised for his helpless family by the
popular subscription in three days;
but not one dollar while he lives, and
while it may look like a bribe.'
II is yet within the pow.r OF the
Presidents family to preserve the
dignity of the nation, and respect the
proprieties of official station. 1t can
hardly be that Mr.. Garfield has him
self been consulted about the gift,
and the country has no positive offic-
ial information that Mrs. Garfield &C
cepted. Therefore it may not be too
late to utilize the opportunity Of de
clining-GIlveston News.

. HOUSEHOLD LOVE.

A Iisgs love goes very fer go
To smooth the daily care;
Il gives brightness 10 the earth,
A fragrance TO the air; '.
A smile upon loving face,
A word of kindness said,
The pressure of gentle hand
by these good works are sped.
But when o little love grows great,
And the once tiny stream tt :.
Into a glorious river spreads, 1oif!
All life becomes dream ~.
From neck and arms the burden falls,
We're glad, md swift and strong;
We grasp our duty's hardest stroke,
10 And clinch il with song.
sCycars
Then think, o friends! whom changeful
Have changeless bound to Inc,
How in the daily round Of toll,
My feet should winged be-; "
Icannot wish my work were less, 20
Your love could scarce be more;
Swift labor sings within our home, .s
Aud strong love keeps the door.

The Revised New Testament.

After all, the great mass Of relig-
ious people take kindly to the new
text OF the revised New Testament
It Jared terribly on the sensibilities
of those who reverence the ancient
text to have the familiar wording
changed; but still words are things,
and mistranslations and errors Of
text have no place in work deemed
sacred by so many Of our people. In
deed, fnult found with the revisors
is not that they went too farin making
alterations, but that they did not go
far enough. They feared to face de-
nominational prejudice, and in many
cases made verbal alterations when
the whole text should have been re-
cast. The time will come when still
another revision will be demanded

MRs. GARFIELD is a brave woman
and devoted wife. And in being
these she is but the representative Of
many thousands of her country wo-
men, who shrink from no dangers or
sufferings duty may enioin. We
would not detrlct one iota from the
deserved praise bestowed upon the
wife of the President, but we deny
the implication that her noble con-
duct is not a characteristics Of most
American wives, or so rare as TO de-
mand marked and special recogni
ton. She is faithfully and cour-
discharging q duty as thous-
ands OF others are daily doing all
over this broad country. In high
position, and before the eyes Of the
world, she simply shows she is a
worthy representative of American
women--1iichmond Ind, Palladium.

A House Made Of Paper.

One of the most interesting objects Of
fered to public inspection at the Sydney
International Exhibition was dwelling
house exclusively made of paper, and
furnished throughout with articles man.
ufactured with the same material. The
walls, roof, flourings and staircases alike
consisted of carton-pierre; the carpets
and curtains, bedsteads, lamps, sheets
and counterpanes, towels, bootiacks,
baths, kitchen utensils, etc., were one
and all preparations of papier-mache, as
were the very stoves used for heating the
rooms, in which large fires were kept
burning daily throughout the duration
of the Exhibition. Several banquets
we're given in the paper house by its
owners to the Commissioners, members
of the Press, and foreigners Of distinct
ion. All the plates and dishes, knives
and forks, bottles and bringing vessels
used at these entertainments we're fabri-
Gated entirely and solely Of paper.
Should these paper buildings come into
vogue they may be expected to superin-
duce some striking changes in the rates
of fire insurance. at present calculated
upon basis of bricks and mortar.

Why He Got a Receipt.

The following story is told of crafty
lawyer, subtle as fox, who lived in Hal
flax:
An Indian of the Miami tribe. named
Simon, owed him some money. The
lawyer had waited long. His patience
gyve out, and he threatened the Indian
with lawsuit, process and executions.
The poor red man got scared and brought
the money to his creditor. The Indian
waited, expecting the lawyer to write a
receipt.
"What are you waiting for ?" asked the
lawyer.
Receipt" said the Indian.
ga receipt ?" said the lawyer, ga re-
ceipt-what do you know about re-
ceipt? Can you understand the nature
of a receipt? Tell me the use of one and
I will give it to you"
The Indian looked at him moment,
and then replied:
''S'pose maybe me die; me 60 to heben !;
me find the gate locked; me see the Pos
tel Peter; he say, Simon, what you
want?' Me say, Want to get in He
say, You pay Mr.. j dat money?
What me do? Me hab no receipt. Hab
to hunt all ober the other place to find
you"
He got receipt.

Qualifications,

An old lady walked into lawyer 8
Office, when the following conversation
took place:
Lady-Squire, I called to see if you
would like to take this boy and make q
lawyer of him.
Lawyer-The boy appears to be
rather young, madam, how old is he?
Lsdy-Seven years, sir.
Lawyer-He is too young, decidedly
too young; have you no older boys?
Lady-Oh, yes; have several; but we
have concluded to make farmers Of the
others. told the old man l thought
this little fellow would make first-rate
lawyer, and so l called to see if you
would take him.
Lawyer-Oh, madam; he is too young
yet to commence the study of the profess
sion; but why do you think this boy is
better calculated for lawyer than your
other sons?
Lady-Why, you see, sir, he is Just
seven years old to-day. When he was
only five he'd lie like all nature; when
he got t. be six he was saucy and
impudent as any critter could be, and
now he'll steal anything he can lay his
hands on.

Paying for the Wake.

A good-looking Irishman stopping at q
hotel to warm himself, inquired of the
landlord:
whats the news?"
The landlord disposed to run upon
him, replied:-"They say the devil is
dead"
"An' sure" says Pat, "that is news
indade."
Shortly after he went to the bar and
laid down some coppers and resumed
his seat. Then the landlord, always
ready for q customer, asks him what he
would take.
Nothing at all" says Pat.
"Then why did you put down this
money!" the landlord asked.
"An' sure, sir, its the custom in my
country, when chap loses his daddy. to
give him few coppers to help him pay
for the wake"
