WHY THEY GO.

Some go to church just for walk
some to stare, and laugh, and talk
some GO there to meet IA friend,
some Iheir idle time to spend
some for general observation,
some for private speculation
Some to seek or find n lover,
Some a courtship to discover
Some go there to use thoir eyes
And newest fashions criticise.
Some to show their own smart dress,
Some their neighbors to assess;
Some to scan u robe or bonnet,
Some to price the trimmin' on it.
Some to learn the latest news.
That friends at home they may ainuse.
Some to gossip, false and true,
Safe hid in tho aheltering pew.
Some go there to please the Squire.
Some his daughters to admire.
Some the parson go to fawn;
Some to lounge and some to yawn.
Some to claim the parish doles;
Some for bread and some for Goals.
Some because it's thought genteel;
some to vaunt their pious zeal.
Some to show how sweet they sing
Some how loud their voices ring
Some the preacher go to hear,
His STYLE and yoice to praise OF Jeer;
some forgiveness to implore,
some their sins to varnish DER.
some to sit and dose and nod
But few to kneel and worship God.

True Faith.

In miserable cottage at the bot
tom of a hill two children lowered
over II moulderins fire. A tempest
ragged without-a fearful tempest
against which man and beast were
alike powerless.
A poor old miser, much poorer
than these shivering children, though
he had heaps of money at home,
drew his ragged cloak about him as
he crouched down at the threshold
of the miserable door. He dared
not enter for fear they would ask
pay for shelter, and he could not
move for the storm.
"I am hungry, Nsttie."

tato pairing, and can't find any"
"What an awful storm!'

it didn't fall on the house. See, it
would certainly have killed u.s."
eff he could do that, couldn't he
send us bread ?"
ct guess SO; let's pray 'Our Faith
err and when we come to that part,
stop till we get some bread"
So they began, and the miser,
crouching and shivering, listened.
When they paused, expecting in
their childish faith to see some mir
aculous manifestation; humane feel
ing stole into his heart; God sent
some angel to soften it. He had
bought loaf at a village, thinking
it would last him a great many days,
bat the silence of the two little child.
rem spoke louder to him than the
voice of many waters. He opened
the door softly, threw in the loaf,
and then listened to the wild, eager
cry of delight that came from the hall

"Let's ask him to give father work
to do all the time, so we never need

The storm passed-the miser went
home. A little flower had sprung
up in his heart; it was no longer
barren.
In q few weeks he died, but not
before he had given the cottage,
which was his, to the poor laboring
man.
And the little children ever utter

in their matinal devotions they came
to those trustful words, "Give US
this day our daily bread"

20 over it with hot fatiron till you
draw the grease; then scrape with

JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRIsE.-There
is nothing SO encouraging to the
proprietor of great modern journal
as to be able to make improvements
on his organ. Artemus Ward tells
q good story about visit he made
to the sanctum of the Bungtown
Bugle, and the interesting interview
he had with the editor. The editor
was preparing his leading editorial,
which he read over to Artemus. 1t
was to the effect that we have just
had some extensive repairs made to
our sink. A new bottom has been
placed in it at an immense expense,
in which two holes have been bored,
through which the water passes into
the entirely new bucket below.
What has the hell-hound of the
Gazette to say to this? We shall
continue to make improvements as
grea. and exhaustive as our rapidly
increasing circulation will justify.
We have also about closed con-
tract fol the purchase ola new paste
pot.
1t was the same editor of tho Bu-
ale who got out an extra with big
headlines announcing:
1.-The course of the Bugle in
dorsed by the people. One more
subscriber yesterday"
The same paper also claimed that
it had trebled its circulation, which
was fact, for at the time it had
three subscribers instead of one, the
number it started out with.

isdiction, to that extent we must un-
derstand that Congress in using the
names has actually characterized and
specified the Jurisdiction.
If Congress has thus, in the or.
ganic law of the Territory, prescribed
specific character of jurisdiction
for each class of courts. it has done
it purposely, and, if purposely, then
conclusively. Any Territorial en-
actment attempting to confer juris-
dction at variance with the specific
character of jurisdiction prescribed
by Congress, is inconsistent with the
laws of the United States, and void.
Though the matter of the act may be
PER- Sc rightful subject of legisla-
ton, it is not comprehended among
d" rightful subjects of legislation not
inconsistent with the constitution
and laws of the United States"
Conclusively, then, by the organic
law of the Territory, the Probate
Court is limited in its jurisdiction to
such matters as, by general usage
in the jurisprudence of the United
States, the namo " Probate Court"
imports. AS already said, the name
imports jurisdiction over wills, deced-
ents' estates, tutelage of various des-
criptions, and other cognate sub
iecis, and such jurisdiction only.
Our Inquiry narrows down to this:
Is the contest of an election cognate
to any matters, which by the juris.
prudence of the United States is
commonly entrusted to the jurisdic-
ton of Probate Court? A bare
statement of the question is enough
to furnish the answer. 1t is not.
and the conclusion is inevitable that
the Probate Court has no jurisdic-
ton of this contest. With these
views accord. the decisions in Ferris
VS.. Higley GO Wallace, 375, and
cases there cited y and in Landen VS..
BARLEY Il Idaho 2l9,) and er parte
Vest (Ib. 227).
If the Legislature sees fit to create
new rights and new judicial reme-
dies, as undoubtedly it can, it must
assign Jurisdiction over them to some
tribunal competent to take it, con-
formally to the distribution of judic-
ial power contained, as we have seen
in the organic law.
The jurisdiction over contested
elections, which is sought to bs vest
ed in the Probate Court. would, 'if
sustalnable, probably operate to di-
vest the District Court of its analog-
Gus common law jurisdiction exer-
cised by information in the nature of
proceeding on Quo carTanto. State
ex rel Grisell VS.. Marlow, IA, Ohio
State III. State OK rel. Attorney
Gen vs.. Taylor, Ib. 137. 1t prob
ably would work an absolute transfer
of original jurisdiction from the Dis
trict to the Probate Court, breaking
up the scheme of distribution of ju-
dicial powers, ordained by the Or
ganic law, and re-assigning those
powers. The motion is granted.
