rHEnAHsExous GLASSES.

While the clergy are faithful in denounc-
ing recognized and conventional wrosg- do
ing, they are rarely found mounting the
watch-tower and discovering and giving
warning of approaching evil. With bold
ness and outspoken direotness that is most
creditable to him, the Rev. DR.. Howard
Crosby has done this. In an article pub
lished in the NORTH American Review for
April, he has called attention TO the danger
Gus classes existing in this country, has
pointed out who they consist of, and the dan
gers with which they treaten society. The
dangerous classes, he points out, are not The
vulgar mob, but all those who, by generally
strictly legal but commonly unscrupuleus
means-never by hard, faithful ton-ac-
cumulate large amounts of property. The
stock-jobber, the railroad Spectator, the
grain and petroleum operator, the manutao.
turer of Corners" and the profters BY po-
litical corruption and unconscientious
"iobs," these are the dangerous classes, for
they prevent the proper distribution OF
the wealth the community owns, and by alb
sOrbing more than they require leave whole
masses Of the toiling multitude with less than
they need. The disturbances and riots and
revolutions that break out at times, in couse-
quence of the operation of laws and customs
that make "the rich richer and the poor
poorer" do not originate with the impover-
ished victims that break into bakers shops
when they are hungry; the originators are
the dangerous classes whose accommodations
have been made at the expense of the COM
forts Of the toilers, and too often of their vary
necessAries. These are the dangerous elassss
whose injustice demands armies to defend
their wrong doings, and to keep down Inc
people when they demand their rights. 1t
ia not the possession Of property the reverend
author condemns, but the possession Of un-
wholesome. accumulation not gained by
honest work which added to the coun-
tFy's wealth. The rich less rich, and the poor
less poor, would leave the land free of
the existence of dangerous classes. The
reverend exponent Of these truths complains
that the people are oppressed Ter the ag-
grSndisement of small number of pluto
Gratis who in our age occupy the place which I
was formerly held by feudal chieftains and |
confessed bandits. The difference is that |

YOU MADE ME SO.


You ask why life is weary, why I fade SO fast
Why the golden ,iIken cuTls are turning silvery
gray
Why Inc heart is bowed and withered that Was
pure in the long ago,
Before this young life knew its sO-rsN, bc'Ore yoU
made me 50.
Yes. now am aged and wrinkled, and the world
casts me aside,
But once l was pure as the spring time and your
promised bride,
For ysu told me you fondly loved me, but that
was long ago
And now the world disowns me-'twss you that
made me so.
Do love you yeti Oh, yes; would to God could
forget;
sull the memory of my frst love only fills me
For woman has but one love, man Of the World
two,
And a womAn's heart and woman's love gave
il all 10 you.
The world may smile upon you while still wac
der alsne,
An outcast from the loved ones, from the heart
thought my own.
Would TO God I had never met you, the world s
shame would not know,
But what am let The world judge, twas you that
made me so.
Twas you that made the wrinkles gather on ny
face,
Twas You that stole the young heart. Twas you
that brought disgracs.
Twas YOU that shattered the young life that trust

a IeRlnun Rirfl

A singular incident in natural history oc-
CURED lately in Chester, England. A thrush
in happy state OF freedom was trilling lis
notes in the orchard beneath the wall, near
the ''Rishing.steps," when its music exc ted
similar efforts from Gagged bird of the same
species, which was suspended in front of the
adjacent houses. These fealhered songsters
perseVered in raising their melodies to
higher and higher efforts, as if in earnest
rivalry, when suddenly the bird among the
trees dsrted from its perch upon the wicker
cage Of its competitor, broke the bars, en-
tered it and commenced an assault upon the
musical captive; the owner of which, hearing
the unusual noise, came out, took the agrees
sor prisoner and cold it into bondage. The
iH-tempered thrush had, therefore, paid the
penalty, sacrificing its freedom to Its jeal-
ousy. This anecdote is fact, and not writ
ten-as 1t might seem TO be-ior the purpose
of pointing a moral against musical jeal-
ousies among human vocalists.
