FRIDAY, DECEMBER and, rss,
CUlTEAr.

Mr.. Scoyille is conducting the dc
tense Of Guiteau with great deal o
ability, and bringing forward his claim.
for the prisoner in such manner as ,e
secure TO him the greatest palliatior
possible for the commission of the
awful crime for which he is arragned
But what ever the jury may do, laying
aside the contempt in which the assas'
sin is held, it would be impossible te
convince the American people that the
william should no, hang. The evidence
is closely watched and every sentence
weighed by the people, as the reports
are ser, forth each day from Washing
ton, and the method in the pretended
insanity OF the assassin and his actions
generally. are to them ample evidences
Of his responsibility.
\ few years ago man met upon
the streets of Frankfort, kentuckW
Judge John NJ. Elliot, and deliberately
shot him down because a decision had
been rendered by the Judge contrary
to the interests of the assassin. The
insanity plea WAS set up and the mur-
derer sent to an ASYLUM. 4 few
months after the news came that the
friends of the scoundrel had succ eded
in getting him free.
The same plea is put up for Guiteau
and should the defense succeed in
establishing the fact of his insanity and
responsibility, he goes to the asylum;
that ends the matter so far as the trial is
concerned, and in few months O..
years, at furthest, the friends of the
miserable wretch get him quietly re-
leased, and he is secretly conveyed out
of the country, and thus escapes pun
ishment for his great crime, besides
opening the way for the next disap-
pointed william, seeking notoriety, to re-
peat the dastardly act upon some other
great and noble man, perhaps just at
the time, as in the case of Gen. Gar.
field, when he is most needed.
We believe in obeying the law at all
times, yet to allow Guiteau 10 escape
unhung, would, it seems to us, APP
proach very nearly 10 a crime upon
the part of the people.

1t doesn't do to fool with an editor
no how you fix it. The'editor of the
Sacramento Record Union boards al
the same hotel with young NJ. d. who
is practical joker. As the Journalist
naturally comes home IN the wee sma'
hours, the sawbones determined to
frighten him by suspendmg a skeleton
in particularly dark passage in front
ofthe editors room. Then the doctor
and some friends hid near by to enjoy
seeing the quill drivers hair rise. In
stead Of this, however, that molder of
public opinion calmly examined the
costly relic. made a memorandum on
his shirt cuff. and left the house again.
The doctor was very much mystifed
by this action, but he understood it all
when he next morning looked in the
paper and saw his name mentioned in
an item headed, "Another Case for the

Reader, perhaps you and l have

our path will be down-hill. As we
look back over the ascent, it is marked
with our footprints and blazed with
our memories. The lovely landscape
stretches away to the valley with its
homes and church spires, from whence
comes the hum of familiar voices min
gled with the music of bells. But as
we look up there is nothing over us
but the silent sky; and as we gaze
down the other way, through which we
must descend, it is all trackless, and
perhaps the clouds are gathering over
it about the setting sun. But let US
drink and be refreshed. For here at
cur feet is spring with this inscrip-
ton, "As thy day so shall thy strength

The Children of Pious Parents.

The Hon. George F. Belts, a well
known and able lawyer of this city,
read a paper before the New York His
torieal Society, on the late Chancellor,
Erastus c. Benedict. Speaking of his
ancestry, Mr.. Belts said:
know there is popular sentiment
that the children of religious parents
are more apt than others to go astray
aud become atheists or protiigates, and
that this is especially so with the sons
of clergymen. 1t is a fallacy, a gross
aud unfounded perversion OF the truth.
1t is contrary to reason, to revelation,
to fact. Those who recognize as the
natural sequence of events that the
children of Mahomedans should become
Mahomedans, and of Buddhists Budd-
hists, that the children OF Romanlsts
or Protestant parents should follow the
religion of their fathers, yet ridicule
the belief that the religion thus in
grained with the earliest thoughts and
moulded into the young formative life
can be vitaliZing power to control and
regulate the being. Experience shows
that it is. The child with the example
of true faith and an humble walk daily
before him, is the most apt to adopt
these as his patterns, and to strive to
emulate them. The membership OF our
churches, our theological seminaries,
our pulpits, derive their largest, most
constant, aud most reliable supply from
this source of the religious household
and the influence of the home family
circle. And while there are doubtless
striking exceptions which attract at
tention, and by their noticeable charac-
ter have given currency to the fallacy !;
while there may be found an Aaron
Burr descendant of Jonathan Edwards,
yet it wonld be as absurd to attribute
to the religion of the parents the athe-
ism or profligacy of the child as to ar
que that because John Newton came to
the ministry from the deck of a slave
ship, that slave ships would form the
best school for furnishing ministers of
the Gospel. If there be any truth or
power in the idea of hereditary, let us
claim and have the benefit of it for
Christianity also, and not allow all
its power and its logic to be used ex-
clusively against it.

HE Leadeth Me. :"

Who knoweth best in kindness leadeth me
In weary ways, where heavy shadows be-

And by still waters r. No, not always sol

But His own hand, sufficient for my need.

be better enabled to rightly mould and

In broad and catholic sense, good

everything as good or a little better
than we represent it to be; and to es-

seek 20 do by others as we would have
others under like circumstances do by
us, and to shun every pretence of So

cheating ourselves into believing in
anything short of sterling integrity in
all our intercourse with others.
Let me indicate briefly few of the
many things in which, as good farmers,
we should seek to leave our impress fol

our places Coming as we do into such

our feet are called to walk, we shall moi

no better by our having lived in it
