TIMELY TOPICS.

A WRITER says: The fact is, life, with all
our talk about it, has not very high value
on this American continent. We know a
grand jury, that to the horror of a Just
fudge, hesitated to present man who was
we'll proven to have disposed Of an infant
of few hours, because it was very young
and he had many children. We know of
another man who complained of his medi-
cal attendant as to his bill, and when he
said, Ny charge is low enough for that of
a cattle doctor, said sit ought to be lover;
for my cattle have a money value, but my
children have not;" and this in the face of
the fact that Massachusetts statistics show
that in New England most families aid
more than they cost in the support of the
household before the age of twenty one.

full legend: Do you know how the site of
the ancient City of Jerusalem was chosen
There were two brothers who had adjoin-
ing farms The one brother had large
family, the other had no family. The
brother with large family said: "There
rs my brother with no family; he must be
lonely, and l will try to cheer him up, and
will take some of the sheaves from my
field in the nighttime and set them over
On his farm, and say nothing about it,
rhe other said: "My brother has large
family, and it is very difficult for him to
support them, aud I will help him along.
and will take some of the sheaves from
my farm in the nighttime and set them
over on his farm, and say nothing about
it, SO the work of transferring went on,
night after night, and night after night;
but every morning things seemed to be
Just as they were; for though sheaves had
been substracted from each farm, sheaves
had also been added, and the brothers
were perplexed and could not understand.
But one night the brothers happened to
meet while making this generous trans
ference, and the spot where they
met was thought SO sacred that it was
chosen as the site of the City of Jerusa-
lem. If that tradition should prove un-
founded, it will nevertheless stand as a
beautiful allegory, setting forth the idea
that wherever kindly and generous and
loving act is performed, that is the spot
ut for some temple of commemoration.

SOME rumpus is being made in the city
of New York about the ringing of ''the
church going bell.' In this esthetic age
the sound of the Sunday bell, summoning
people to the place of worship, is getting
to be very annoying to ''ears polite" The
opposition to church bell-ringing is being
opposed mainly on sanitary grounds.
The c'angor disturbs the sick and nervous,
living in near proximity to church edi-
fee. And, yet. it is admitted, that in all
cases of sickness, where a request has been
made to omit the ringing of the bell be-
cause it disturbs the sick, the request has
been complied with, until death or recov--
cry no longer makes the silence of the
bells desirable. Mr.. jackson S. Schultz is
making himself particularly offcious and
prominent in opposing bell ringing. He
has petitioned the city Board of Health to
take action on the subject and that board
will soon pronounce upon the question
whether bell-ringing is a nuisance that de-
mands suppression, or not. On the other
hand men of prominence and character
are taking ground in behalf of the ringing
Of bells, and Mr.. Schultz will gain little
cheap notoriety by his motion, if nothing
more. That bell ringing may be so con-
Quoted as to become nuisance, needs no
argument to prove. But we'll regulated,
sensible, decorous use of the church bell,
on all proper occasions, ought not to awak-
en- opposition and will not provoke denun-
citation except from the ungodly portion
of the world, to whom every thing con-
nected with religious church service, is
distateful. To vast numbers of the pop
ulation the sound of the long established
church going bell is anything but unpleas-
ant, and is felt as necessity in calling
people to the place of worship.

The New York Democratic Platform.

At its recent State Convention, the
New York Democracy adopted the fol-
lowing platform of principles:
The Democracy of New York reaffirms the
platform adopted at it's last State Convention,
which has received the approval. of the peo-
pie, as shown by majority of nearly 100000
at the last election, and they especially de-
nounce the proposition that the people should
be taxed to raise surplus fund for the Fed
States. We claim with pride and satisfaction
that every pledge therein made has been in
good faith redeemed.
valuable reforms have been wrought use
less ofhces have been abolished, civil service
has been freed from the debasing and inju-
rIous influences of partisan manipulaotin
the freedom and purity of primaries have
Deen secured. political assessments have been
abolished, receivership abuses been corrected,
tine principle of local Self-government has
$been adhered to. the efficiency of the Nation
al Guard has been increased taxation for the
support OF the Government has been reduced.
a State Bureau of Labor Statistics has been
established, the rights of wOrkingmen have
been further protected, the injurious coupe
titon of convict labor has been curtailed,
and business methods have been the rule in
the management of State affairs.
On the record thus made. and to which it
asks the renewal of the award of the conf
;dence of the people. We invite all reaSona-
4 BILE friends of our improved State Adminstra-
ton, irrespective of party, to join with the
democracy in preserving and perfecting the
reforms in progress, and In extending them to
all branches of the State service.

which elected him. He has deservedly won
f1rmness, and intelligence and aggressive
honesty. The results make his Administra-
