Give the girls fair chance, an even
start, ''fair field and no favor, ~
in the school, in the sanctum,
in the workshop, the studio,
the factory, on the farm, behind the
counter, on the rostrum-anywhere
everywhere. Then if the girl can and
does beat me, why, God bless the girl, let
her go! And will throw up my hat and
hurrah while she sweeps under the wire
and carries away the purse. My dear
boys if it wasn't for the girls and women
in this world | wouldn't want to live in
it longer than Is minutes. Some day you
will know that about all that is good and
noble and pure in your life you draw
from your sister-or some other fellows

A few days since bookseller at
Neosho, Mo-, was visited by lean, lank
individual who inquired if he had any of
them new Testa-ments people were talking
about. Receiving quiet assent, the in
terrogator remarked

about that book. Fact is stranger I'm

that some of the smart preachers here
have been putting their heads together
and have made New Testament, and lett
out some Things and put in Others"
''Well, your information is about right,
captain" replied the bookseller. "The
New Testament does away with hell, and
birthstone, and fiery furnaces, and all
that sort of blood-curdling nonsense"
''You don't say that they have left out

The rough experiences of Rev. Mr..
Cowley pastor of the Episcopal institution
known as "The Shepherds Fold, h" must
still be fresh in public remembrance. The
reverend gentleman, after having served
term in the peniteltary, to which he
was condemned for starving the children
committed TO his care, appealed to the
Church for the "fair'' trial which he con-
tended was denied him by the secular
authorities. The appeal was responded
to by Bishop Potter, who promptly
appointed COMMITTEES Of clergymen and
laymen to thoroughly investigate the
case. That committee, after some six
weeks patient inquiry, am informed has
concluded its lahors, and the result is, if
not complete yindication OF the reverend
gentleman at least such a representation
of his case as will show that his oondrm-
nation to the penitentiary as a lrlon was
not warranted by the facts and that there
is no cause, therefore, why lie should he
deposed from the ministry. OF course,
there will be no reinstatement of the
reverend gentleman in the "Shrpherd $
Fold" but the Bishop, | am told, will
Use his influence to procure him such Il
position in the Church as will demon
strate that it still has confidence in him.
The committee, in the course of their
report, lay stress upon the injustice ol
the secular press in condemning a man
in his position without waiting to ascrr-
tain whether the condemnation was war
ranted by the circumstances of the CASE.

the SH4DUWY PAST.
George =. Latbrop.

As the rye wanders down the dark .afchel
nave
OF some cathedral, Sternly carved and grim,
And sees the tapered shrines, with incense
dim,
grave
Cnnotice1 and deserted are they, save
For some faint, wandering soul, filled to the
brim
With quietn"ss, who murmurs there a hymn
So roves the mind DER chequered years that
pave
The vaulted temple Of the shadowy past.
Then, at some unhushed, unseen c0uics
siunal,
Yelled Memory fingers, breathing penitence
And the bowed heart, in heauteOus grievinl
east
BEFORE the altar of lost love feels all
Its gathered power swayed to one mOurniu
sense.

A Boston lawyer did lively business
for while by promising to get petty
offenders off for $50 each, $40 of which,
he said, went to the district attorney,
$40 to the Justice, and go to himself.
He aimed to secure only clients who
would be acquitted anyhow, and his ex-
posture came when some of them were
convicted.

An old Veteran.

Most of our citizens, no doubt, observed
on tho streets of this borough last Wednes-
day very soldierly bearing old lellow,with
hair and beard ofa snowy whiteness, and

ed the following particulars of his history,
which will, no doubt, interest our readers,
aud more especially those who chanced To
meet him On the streets:
Captain Zouvaski, the name borne by this
veteran warrior and tramper, WAS born in

years lie was sent to the military school in
