AN extraordinary scene occurred nu

AN extraordinary scene occurred not
long ago in Ireland at the Roman
Catholic Chapel of Gurteen, County
Sligo. The pews were put up at au, :
tion by the late parish priest and |, t
to the highest bidders. His successor,
however, gave notice that he would
not abide by this arrangement, and IA
second sale was held. The rival bid
ders became excited and ultimately
engaged in fight which made 1t
necessary to call in the police. The
next Sunday divine service had scarce
ly ended when the two factions re-
newed the fight and smashed the pews.
The victors carried away the frAg-
ments as trophies, and paraded the
streets with them

of that unemployed day, Simson with
his stick penetrated an old window
which had been entirely blocked up
with fallen soil. He jumped down
into it in great excitement, and called
me to follow. There we found lit
tie hole-for it was more hole than
ii room-entirely hidden among the
ivy and ruins, in which there was a
quantity of straw laid in corner, as
if some one had made bed there, and
some remains of crusts about the
floor. Some one had lodged there,
and not very long before, he made out;
and that this unknown being was the
author Of all the mysterious sounds
we heard he is convinced. Il told you
you it was human agency" he said
triumphantly. He forgets, suppose,
how he and I stood with our lights
seeing nothing, while the space be-
tween us was audibly traversed by
something that could speak, and sob,
and suffer. There is no argument
with men of this kind. He is ready
to get up laugh against me on this
slender ground. Il was puzzled my

was at the bottom Of it. And here it
is-and clever fellow he must have
been" the doctor says.
Bagley left my service as soon as he
got well. He assured me it was no
want Of respect; but he could not
stand them kind of things" And
the man was so shaken and ghastly
that was glad to give him present

two years, for which I had taken

elaborate prolonged hoax executed
somehow by the tramp that had found

OUR ONE LIFE.

IT'S not for man TO trif- life is brief,
Aud sin is here
Our age is bnt the falling of leaf,
dropping tear
We have no time to sport away the hours;
All must be in earnest In world like ours.
Not many lives. but only one have we
One. only
How sacred should that one life ever be,
That narrow SPAN
Day after day filled mp with blessed toll.
Hour after hour still bringing in new spoil.
Our being is no shadow of thin air,
No vacant dream.
No fable of those things that never were,
But only seem.
'Tis full of meaning as of mystery.
Though strange and solemn may that meaning be.
Our SORROWS are no phantoms of the night,
No idle tale.
No clouds that float along sky oflight
On summer gale.
They are the true realities of earth;
Friends and companions, even from our birth.
o life below. how brief. and poor and sad!
o life above. how long. how fair and glad.
An endless joy!
q to he done with daily dying here.
to begin the living in yon sphere.
o day of time. how dark, O sky and earth.
How duh your hue.
day of Christ. how bright! sky and earth.
Made fair and new!
Come better Eden with Thy fresher green.

in this hurrying, nervous age of
ours, in this bustling metropolis of
ours, the pace is so rapid that each re-
curing Sunday, even to the most
thoughtless and selfish, is an inestima-
BILE boon, since it means pause in the
tumult and havoc Of the battle for
food. shelter, position, fame. To the
rest Of the community it is full of in
spirations toward higher life. May
the day never become less. Heaven
preserve our American Sunday in its
purity, in its ansterity. if you please,

the other days in the week could be
placed upon higher level. that men
could come to feel that no day was

living be higher if each day. instead of
one day in seven, was generally re-
garded as Of divine origin?

A LAWYER, who was the opposing
counsel to Belva Lockwood, the fe-
male lawyer of Washington, was once
greatly perplexed when he desired to
refer to his opponent. He couldn' t
say my brother" as he did when
speaking of the lawyers who wore
pantaloons. He didn't like to say
my sister" out Of respect to that ex-
preston. He sent a smile over the
room by referring to Belva as my
sister-in- law" which was certainly ap-
appropriate.

The Equality of Days.

One day in every week IS known
diStinctively as 1.-The Lords day.
Whose days. then, are the other SIX
Are they not also His? Are they any
the less His? Does the devil own any
one Of them, or all of them? There
is the suggestion OF an answer to
these questions in the couplet-
To him that lives Alright
Christmas cometh every day.
These lines enforce the doctrine OF
the equality of days. And: rightly
defined, is it not good doctrine?
We who uphold the republican gov
ernmental system believe that one
man is as good as another all the
world over. Would it not tend to
good living if there was general con-
currence in the belief that, in sense,
one day was as good as another day all
the wear ronnd, and that each day was
the Lords day?
Certain it is that, regarding the ma
iority of onr days as secular. the
tendency is to pay attention to the dl-
vinity that stirs within us only once a
week. and to live upon a low plane OF
aspiration and endeavor during the
rest of the time: to devote slx-sevenths
Of our life to the immediate and the
temporal. and only the remaining sew
enth to the things that relate to the
ultimate and the eternal. Under this
parcelling ont of time it is obvious
that our better selves have so compar
atively few better moments that they
do not have fair chance. Quaint
George Herbert is to be regarded as
an exponent of this doctrine Of the
equality of days. In singing
Who sweeps room for Thy law
Makes it and the action fine,
he certainly must be understood as
protesting against the assumption that
any day, however mean its round OF
duties, was not to be regarded as the
Lords day. His lines constitute fit
ting pendant to the sublime injunc-
tion: whether, therefore, ye eat or
We drink, or whatsoever We do, do all
to the glory of God" What is the
significance of this command? Sure
ly no violence is done to it if we in
terpret it as meaning that IN reality
there is no such thing as secular day.
Appreciated at its true value, lived
Alright, each day can abound with the
love that will make it. Christmas, the
gratitude that will make it Thanks
giving. the penitential sorrow that
will make it Lenten season, the ra-
diant hope that will make it Easter
According to Emerson, each day is "a
King in disguise" 7" Call each day the
Lords day and you remove the dis

Stubborn Integrity.

A dispute from q singular cause
took place in the Office of banker
In the Chausee d'Antin, Paris.
The cashier, who has filed that
place for the past twenty-five
years. was at his post. when n COL
lecting clerk, named Pierre Doul-
ly, presented himself with draft
for 10000 francs, drawn by Lon
don banker. The notes were
counted out, and the man left the
place. In few hours he returned,
and addressing himself to the cash
ier, said:
"There is q little mistake be.
tween us; there is a difference of
1000 francs in our accounts"
II never make mistakes" re-
piled the cashier Indignantly; "for
twenty-five years my balance has
always been correct To q sou."
"But the error" said Dnully, sis
against yourself, as you have CIV
en- me 1000 francs too much. am
as honest q mau as you are. l
have been employed as collecting
clerk for twenty-five years in the
same house. There is your note; l
will not take it.n
"Insolent fOoll" cried the cashier;
~ regard any man as aa enemy
who wishes to prove to my employ
er that | am capable OF making
mistakes. Take away the note or
I will turn you out of the place"
Pierre Doulley was not to be thus
repelled, and from words the parties
came TO blows, but the clerks of
the house fastened to separate
them. The cashier, not wishing 10
avow an error, which he would
have regarded as a stain on his
long.established reputation for cor
rectness, was fain to put up with
the loss of the note. and Pierre
Doulley carried the 1000 franc note
to the Mayor of the arondisae-
ment, to be distributed among the
poor.
