BURDETTE,S SOLOMONISMS.

My son, when you hear a man growing
and scolding because Moody gets 500 week
for preaching Christianity, you will perceive
that he never worries a minute because Inger-
soil gets $20G night for preaching atheism.
You will see that the man who it unuterably
shocked because Francis Murphy gets $50
week for temperance work seems to think it
right when the barkeeper takes in twice as
much money in single day. The laborer is
worthy of his hire, my boy, and he is just as
worthy of it in the pulpit as he is upon the
stump. Is the man who is honestly trying to
save your immortal soul worth less than the
man who is only trying his level best to 60 to
Congress Isn't Moody as good as Ingersoll?
Isn't John B. Cough as much the friend of
humanity as the bartender? Do you want to
get all the good in this world for nothing, so
that you may be able to pay high price for
the bad?
Remember, my boy, the good things in the
world are always the cheapest. Spring wa
ter costs less than corn whiskey box of ci-
gars will buy two or three bibles ; a gallon of
old brandy costs more than a barrel Of flour ;
''full hand" at poker often costs man more
than his church subscription amounts to in
three years State election costs more than
revival of religion; you can sleep in church
every Sunday morning if you are mean enough
to deadbeat your lodging that way, but nap
in Pullman car costs you TWO collars every
time fifty cents for the circus, and a penny
for the little ones to put in the missionary
box one dollar for the theatre and a pair of
old trousers, frayed at the ends and baggy at
the knees, and utterly busted as to the dome,
for the Michigan sufferers; the lady who
wears the skirt of her dress under her arms
and the waist around her knees and kicks her
slipper clear over the orchestra chairs every
night, gets 5000 week, and the city mission
ary gets $500 year ; the horse race scoops in
$4,000 the first day, and the church fair lasts
a week, and works twenty-five or thirty OF the
best women'in America nearly to death, and
comes out in debt-why, my boy, if you
ever find yourself sneering or scoffing because
once in while you hear of preacher get
ting living or even a luxurious salary, or
a temperance worker making money, 60 out
in the dark and feel ashamed Of yourself, and
if you don't feel above kicking mean man,
kick yourself. Precious little does religion
and charity cost the old world, my boy, and
when the money it does get is flung into its
face, like bone to dog, the donor is not
benefited by the gift, and the receiver is not,
and certainly should not, be grateful. 1t is
insulted.-Burlingto Haorkege.

A VALUABLE TREE.-'No, sir,' said Dr.
.Jalap, ~ wouldn't have that apple tree cut
down for money" but you never get any
fruit from it" argued Brown; ''the boys steal
all the apples before they are half ripe"
"That's just it, replied the doctor, with
quiet smile; ''that tree stands me in good
thousand every season. "-Boston Transcript.

very distressing accident on st. Joseph
island near DetOur, last Saturday. A
man was preparing some pitch on the
stove in his dwelling, for calking boat
when the pitch caught fire. His wife, to
quench the flames, threw pail of water
on it, which seemed to have generated
gas, as an explosion followed filling the
room with blaze, badly burning the
woman and setting the house on fire,
and it was burned down. So fast was
the work of the flames that, it is said,
two children who were in the room above
were so badly burned before they could
be got out that they died shortly after.
Mr.. Barclay did not learn the name Of
the family.
