A Beautiful Incident.

A young man who had been on a
three days debauch wandered into
the reading-room of hotel where
he was well sat down and
looked moOdily into the street.
Presently little girl about
ten years old came in and
looked timidly about the room.
There were five persons In the room,
and she went to each one begging.
One gentleman gave her a five cent
piece and she went to the gentle
man spoken Of and asked him for a
penny, adding. "I haven't had
anything to eat for a whole day."
The gentleman was out of humor,
and he said Grossly; "dOn't bother
me; / haven't had anything to eat
for three days" The child opened
her eyes in shy wonder, and stared
at him for moment and walked
slowly toward the door. She tur-
ned the knob, and then, after hes
itating few seconds walked up to
him, and gently laying the five
cents on his knee, said, with tone
of true girlish pity in her voice
eff you haven't had anything to
eat for three days, you take this
and go buy you some bread.
Perhaps / can get more somewhere. "
The young man blUshed to the roots
of his hair, and lifting the child in
his arms, kissed her two or three
times in delight. Then he took her
to the other persons in the room,
and those in the corridor and Office,
and tald the etnru and aGkQ1 con-
tributiOns, giving himself all the
money he had with him. He sue
ceeded in raising over forty dollars,
and sent the little one on her way
rejoicing. aA22 eaifii BOB i.sow

The Democratic Opportunity.
New York Sun

1t is not the part of political wis
dom to exaggerate passing success
or to assume more than was in
tended by the popular judgment
The Democrats acquired a majority
in the House of Representatives in
1874 when the whole country was
suffering under great depression
of business, largely the result OF
misgovernment. A revolt against
the rulers was comparatively easy
to bring about at that time, when
labor was unemployed, and when
complaint was universal.
This year the country is prosper-
Gus, but the public Indignation is as
stern and has been as sternly eX-
pressed as it was in 1874.
If the Democrats are wise, they
will understand that this result is
not so much vote of confidence in
them as a protest against the bosses,
against the machine, and, above all,
against the corruption and profiiga-
cy of the Republican party. They
must earn the confidence of the
country. A great opportunity is
presented to the Democratic leaders
who have the ability and the sagac-
ity to improve it. The party has
had severely explicit instruction in
the past. They must not forget that
failure now will almost inevitably
lead to their own overthrow and a
reconstruction of parties. -. ...

The Louisville Courier Journal
talks plainly to churches on the
subject of temperance: .rH...E .

1t is plain to all thinking men that drunl-
snness is one of the growing evils of the
times, the very hot-bed Of all other crimes,
and yet the great body, OF temperance re-
formers, abandoning moral suasion and
doubling the influence of the church as q
restraining power, appeals to the State for
aid. 1t Is q serious mistake; it is a fatal
confession of weakness. The church, by
persuasion, by example, by expounding the
word of God, by discipline, If necessary,
might do much, where, as yet, it has done
little, or nothing, to decrease the ev1I OF in
temperance. We speak not by way of accu-
sation, but of warning. The benefits con-
ferred by Christianity on society are inesti-
mable, but the work of Christianity is not
yet done. If the sentiment of the Christian
churches was unmistakalbie on the subject
of temperance, intemperance would, in
day, lose half its power to harm society,
Christian men and women have no right TO
appeal to the State to prohibit the use of In.
toxicating liquors until the church itself
| has prohibited the use and manufacture of
| them so far as its power extends. 1t will be
| time to appeal to the State when the devil
of intemperance has been chai by the
church, and then it may be altogether un-
| necessary.
