In the Wrong Pulpit.

4 young Methodist clergyman, not a
hundred miles from Lindsay, Canada, a
few Sundays ago was delegated to re-
licye a brother clergyman in neigh
boring village, and never having been
in the place before he had TO make in
quiries when he got there as to the To-.
cation Of the parsonage. It was
pointed out TO him, and after putting
his horse in the stable he walked into
tho church next door, naturally thinking
it, from its proximity to the parsonage,
to be the church in which he was 10
preach. The congregation had nearly
all assembled, and as the young divine
walked up the aisle 70 the pulpit ex-
prcssions Of surprise were manifested on
all sides that they were to have a strange
minister without having heard anything
about it. Bu; Of course the clergyman
could not read their thoughts, and sent
up his list OF hymns to the choir in the
usual way. Then he leaned back in his
seat for a breathing spell before com
mencing the service. As he was taking
his ease a clergyman entered the
church. and seeing strange minister
in the pulpit he quietly took seat in
the front pew TO await developments.
Presently the stranger took down the
hymn-book from the desk and turned
up the page on which he expected to
find hymn he had selected, but was
astonishcd to observe that the numbers
did not correspond. He beckoned 10
the clergyman in the pew to come for
ward, and asked: "Is this the hymn
book you use here Certainly; that
is the Bible Christian hymn-book. " was
the reply. The Young minister took in
the situation at once; he had got into
the wrong church. After making an
explanation lie graspcd his hat and
promptly walked ont Lindsay Post.

New Cure for Crime.

An idea, not exactly new, but now re-
ceiving new attention among scientists
is deserving of notice. The theory has
been advanced that murders and such
crimes are not the fruit of devilish dis
position, of revenge or Of hate. They
are simply the natural results Of some
abnormal condition of the brain. The
undue growth of the brain in the region
of the medulla oblongata presses upon
the brain and drives the innocent man
to innocently seize an AK and blame.
lessly chop his wife's head open. sIt is
her misfortune, not his fault. The post
mortem examination OF the brains Of a
number of murderers shows in majority
of cases some tumor, mAlformation or
softening of the brain. The brains Of
assassins are usually larger than the
average. Suicides in almost every case
show softening Of the brain in one or
more lobcs, The radical believers in
this theory argue that this being the
case hanging is not the remedy for
crime. Murderers are TO be pitied, not
punished, and placed under medical
treatment instead of hanged. At least,
while the theory is not generally ac-
cepted, thoy hold that convicted muir
derer should be given TO them 70 exper-
iment on, cut a section out Of bis skull
bone and try to mold bis brain into
new shape.
However this may be, in places where
hanging is still in vogue, whore the
choice is between confinement under
medical treatment and turning the
criminal loose on the community, the
decision should not be long to consider.

Friendship is good deal like china.

as it is quite whole; but break IL and
all the cement in the world will not
quite repair the damages. You may
stick the pieces together, 30 that at a
distance il looks as well as ever; but it
won't hold hot water. II il always
ready to deceive You, if you trust it;
and it is on the whole very worthless
thing, fit only to be set empty upon n
shelf and forgotten there. The finer
and more delicate it is, the more utter
the ruin. A mere acquaintance, which
needs only little ill-humor to break il
up, may be coarsely puttied, like that
old yellow basin in the store closet, but
tenderness and trust and sweet exchange
Of confidence can no more be yours
when angry words and thoughts have
broken them, than can those delicate
porcelain tea-cups, which were splin-
tered to pieces be restored to their
original handsome excellence. The
slightest crack will spoil the true ring,
and you had better search for new
friend than try to mend the old one.
And all this has nothing to do with for
giveness. One may forgive and be for
given; but the deed has been done and
the word said. The flowers and gliding
are gone. The formal making-up,"
especially between two women, is of no
more avail than the wonderful cements
that have made cracked ugliness Of
the china vase that you expected to be
your "ioy forever" Handled delicately,
washed 10 purity in the waters of truth,
conhded 70 no careless, unsympa'hizing
hands, friendship may last two lives
out, but "it does not pay" TO try TO
mend it. Once broken, it is spoiled

what is more, i happen to have fact
at hand to illustrate your charge. We
have club for an excellent literary
paper in our village, and last year that
man was one of our subscribers. This

His wife was very anxious to take it,
for it had become genial companion in
leisure moments, but he could not af-
ford it. The club rate was one dollar

perfect floods of JOY that dollar and
forty cents might have poured upon the
children of that unsuccessful billiard
player. All it is well for such wives
and children that they do not know
where the money all goes"
They had finished at the nearest
table. The two gentlemen moved on
and Albert Landman arose from his
seat and left the house. Never before
had he such thoughts as now possessed
him. he had never dwelt upon the
same grouping of ideas That very
morling his own true, faithful, loving
wife had been sad and heart sick be
cause he had harshly and unkindly met
her request for a small sum Of money.
And his sweet Lizzie had crcpt away to
her home almost broken. hearted for
the want Of n simple toy, such as her
mates possessed, and vet the sum Of
both their wants amounted to not as
much rs he had paid away that evening
for billiard-playing.
Albert Landman wanted to be an
honest husband and father, and the les
son was not lost upon him. On the
way home he stopped at Mr.. Grants
and purchased the best and greatest
hoop TO be found, with driving stick
painted red, white and blue, and in the
morning, when he beheld his child's
delight, and had received her grateful,
happy kiss, the question came to his
mind which was the best and happicst
rcsult--this or the five games Of bill
liards? The hoop cost thirty cents.
He could play two games of billiards
less and be the absolute gamer of ten
cents by the pleasant operation.
4 few mornings after this, as Albert
arose from the breakiast-tablc, he de-
tected an uneasy, wistful look upon his
wife's face.
"Kate, what is it?"
ALBERT, could you spare me half

And out came the wallet and the
money was handed over with q warm,
genial smile.

average cost of these to the Government Is 81 300

100000 at the most S245, 10000 This is in

less and unintelligent legislation in the estima
ton of the Press editor was in all probability
the original act granting pensions to ex-soldiers
for disabilities incurred in the service of the
Government while aiding to put down the rebel

Our own opinion is that the passage of the Ar

without which the Government would have
stood in the relation to the soldier of a debtor

GENERAL SHERMAN AT ATLANTA,

During the afternoon of November Is the
Mexican War Veterans held meeting at the
judges hall of the exposition, Atlanta, Ga which
was packed with fine audience General Henry
R. Jackson, of Savannah, delivered an historical
address of great power and eloquence, at the
close of which loud calls were made for General
Sherman, who had modestly seated himself in
the audience. He made no response, however
until the veterans called for him and sent Major
J. F. Waddell to conduct him to the platform.
As the General addressed the audience. briefly
and in an appropriate manner, the most respect
full attention was given him, and his remarks
frequently interrupted with hearty applause, one
could hardly realize that the modest gentleman
in citizens dress was the cOnquerng hero of that
day. in 1864, and that he was addressing people
gathered from the four cities of the South that
suffered most from his invading army.

What Will Be Attempted.

THIS winter, in all probability, bills will be
introduced into Congress looking to a reduction
of the tax upon whiskey and tobacco, also reduc-
ing the customs dues ON various articles OF
luxury imported from abroad. An effort will
also be made to abolish the tax on National
banks, and the stamp duty of two cents on bank
checks.
These measures are all in the interest of the
rich men of the country. The laboring class
cannot be benefited one iota by any such re-
auctions that may or can be made.
The New York Herald, the Philadelphia Press,
the New York Tribune Jay Goulds organ will
doubtless all advocate the enactment of laws of
the character indicated above and if they should,
it will not be because of any principle involved
but only for the purpose of defeating the worthy
objects Of the Arrears Of Pension Act which
they are now denouncing in the strongest pos
Sible terms.
