Hartford Times
A young man who had been re-
claimed from the vice of intempersnce
was called upon to tell how he was led
to give up drinking. He arose, but
looked for a moment very confused.
All he could say was 1.-The little
shoes did it." With thick voice, as
if his heart was in his throat, he kept
repeating this. There was a stare of
perpiexity on every face, and at length
some thoughtless young people began
to litter. The man, in all his en-
barras>ment. heard the sound, and
rallied at once. The light came into
his eyes with fash he drew himself
up. and the choking went from his

Ingersoll on Presbyterianism.

1--WE must Judge people in accord
ance with the creed they belong to.
Mr.. Talmage is a PRESBYTERIAN, and
regards every human being who
happens to be born only once a
totally depraved in every joint and
sinew and nervs, and he believes, a.
his creed teaches, that God never
made a human being who didn't de-
serve Daniel the moment he was
finished. Accordingly, men are born
in original sin, totally depraved. and
Ged can not be deceived by any
veneering of good works, but looks on
love as hatred and honesty as larceny.
1 don't blame Mr.. Talmage; / blame
his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. His doc
trines tend to crush out all natural ioy
from the human heart. believe
there is something coed and bad in
every human heart, and the seeds Of
goodness are in every soul. Men who
are called wicked men do good things.
and men who belong to the church do
terrible things. Uaughter.) Bible
readers have stopped reading their
Bibles long enough to beat or murder
their wives, to burn honest men, to
draw the swsrd and fill the world with
war. Ne human being was ever 50
bad as the Presbyterian creed. Ac-
cording to it, all the good fellows of
the world are going down to eternal
pain. (Applause.) According to it,
all the great and glorious are in per-
dition and the greatest man who has
adorned the pages of hIstory-Charles

The fashion for wearing jeweled
carriers has spread 80 rapidly that

There was a show case full Of them,

The pattern was the same in all so
far as the band was concerned. The
band was a full inch wide. made of
fine elastic, and colored with beauti-
fully woven silk OF every conceivable
shape, pale blue and warm reds pre-
dominating. They are designed To
match the tint Of the dress worn with
them. In one case two heart-shaped
clasps Of colored gold. inlaid with
cross-bars OF turquoisas and pearls.
Joined the ends of scarlet band with
little frills of silk alorg the edges.
The price was 500. A pair of two
oval clasps of hammered gold. perhaps
an inch in length, could be bought
for S48, while the cheapest pair with
plain gold clasps, was $40.
ats a curious fact, said the Jewell
err, THAT the cheap ones won't sell.
When a customer wants an elegant
garter, he-I mean she's willing to

A pair that cost S22j had two
shields with three big pearls in each
and little diamonds at the edges
Another pair was expensive through
its delicate lace, which was arranged
in a fluffy bow knot, with two little
gold disks clasping in the center.

Across the paror floors;
Two tiny dimpled hands have slyly plotted
Mischief behind the doors
Two magic crystal orbs with watch unceasing
Their glance on all have flung;
Two rose red lips. their chattering, teasing.
In bird-like notes have sung.
Now, Ger those orbs the drowsy lids are closing.
Bidding adieu to light;
And lips, while hands and feet lie still, reposing,
Have whispered their GOOD night"
o blessed hour, when soft winged sleep, descending
Brings desired release
To toll worn mortals all their trouble ending
In sweet Oblivious peace
For he who ever guides the sunlghts setting,
And gently wells the earth,
That deep repose may bring that selffoIgetting
Prelude to newer birth
Will ever guard the tender infants sumber,
And send his angel bands,
The midnight watch and dawning hours TO number,
With star tipped wands.
