On last Wednesday night a tene-
ment house in Cincinnati took fire
The alarm spread, and the inmates
came rushing out. On the second
floor of the house resided Mrs. Mary
Welch, quite an old lady, and her
grandson, lad nine years old. The
old lady escaped from the flames, but
on reaching the outside she discovered
that her grandson, to whom she was
devotedly attached, was missing. She
Immediately ran back to their room,
which was in flames. She did not
come out again, and officers procured
a ladder and ascended to the window,
where they discovered the boy dead in
his bed, and the old lady dead on the
floor. This is the simple story of
Mary Welch's heroism. She would
rather lose her life in an attempt to
save her darling than to be saved
without him. Greater love hath no
man than this"

life and death are nothing Christ-like.
If living friends request that funer-
al services be brief; that there be no
sermon-either lengthy or otherwise;
that there be no parade before the
gazing public more than at modest,
well-meaning wedding; who shall
charge those living friends with i'm
propriety or with lack of loyalty to
the memory of their dead?
There is often too much morbid
sentimentalism about funerals and
too little Of genuine, thoughtful re-
ligious sentiment. Ministers of the
Gospel are too often required to give
mere bond-service to customs which
have long since been divorced from
the distinct idea of religious services.
Sometimes the formal sermon de-
manded is to be regarded as no more
than part of the undertaking to pro-
vide all the proprieties of large and
respectable funeral so that no sin of
omission-against custom-may in
vite remarks by the general public.
If PERSONS life has not illustrated
the principles of the religion of Christ,
what propriety is there in demanding
of the preacher certain funeral SER
vices that place him in the embarrass-
ing position of ignoring, on the one
hand, the principles OF which he is the
professed advocate, or, on the other
hand, of wounding the feelings Of
friends by silence when eulogy is ex-
pected?
The preacher at funeral, if requir-
ed to go beyond the simplest and brief
est religious services, is placed at an
unnecessary disadvantage in the midst
Of exceptional circumstances of
preaching. Therefore it is advisable
that all considerate and thoughtful
Christians ask of their pastor the
briefest and simplest religious services
at the funeral of their friends
A very few minutes talk, a passage
of the Word Of God, a hymn, a prayer
chastened by the presence Of death
and of grief-a very little more would
be but mockery of grief and no addi-
tional help to the religious faith of
the living.
IF the pastor knows you well and
has known your dead, he knows what
to say in few a0ords at the funeral Of
your friends; if the preacher does not
know you and if he has had no ac-
quaintance with your dead. he does
not know what to say in many aeords.

Saloon Morals.

Much has been said in these col
umns, of the evils growing-directly
or indirectly of the crime of in
temperance. But the subject is prac-
tically an exhaustless one. Out of
the associations Of the saloon-all of
them evil-spring train Of evil in
fuences-chief among which is idle
ness. There is no maxim which con-
tains more truth than that "idleness
breeds vice." The young man who
loafs around saloon becomes by the
nature Of his associations, filthy and
brutal, both in his thought and de-
pertinent. He SCOTS at religion, sneers
at virtue, and laughs at ruined char
acter.
To him, that grand and crowning
glory by Divine Love given to woman
virtue, is a trifing matter which
should be placed at the mercy of every
worthless loafer and scoundrel who

ScrinfUre For IT.

A keeper of a doggery in this place
called in young man who is known
to be opposed to his ''peesness," ashort
time ago, and began to argue that his
criminal trade was right. Knowing
the young man to be member of
Church, he began to cite Scriptural
characters as indicating that his trade
was right.
IVY" said he, ''look at Noah! He
vas a goot man, unit he got so drunk
vot he could schwill, himself. I rect
der Bible, unit I know dot my pees-
ness vos right!''
About this time the young man
began to call his attention to other
passages of Scripture, which bitterly
denounced the horrible traffic. This
was too much for the pious doggery-
keeper. Flying into a rage he yelled:
''Oh, tam tie Bible! | would not be-
lieve Won word vot is in it!''

A Few Words About Funerals

Not long since, the writer was call
ed to oficiate, as a minister of the
Gospel, at wedding. 1t did not oc-
cur to his mind that there was any
improperly whatever in the request:
"Please make the ceremony BRIEF" 1t
does not require very great many
words, nor very great length of
time, to voice the voice the VOWS, to
solemnize the marriage and breathe
a benediction On two lives which pro-
pose to blend into one for life.
1t is not at all unnatural or unbe-
coming that in a minister's mind
there should be associated ideas Of a
wedding and of funeral At we'd
ding, he voices in the name of Christ
the love and faith without which a
marriage is nothing sacred; at a fu-
neral, he voices the religious senti-
ments and principles without which

There was nothing in the nature of
things to prevent the Bee from being
both Republican and Prohibition in
sentiment and honestly so. But if, as
Journal intimates, it was tring to ride
along upon the opinions Of different

accounted righteous visitation OF
Providence. By the way, we wish the
Journal could ''be Republican and

Slow to Learn,


1t is an old maxim that experience
is dear school, but fools will learn III
no other" We would not make ap-
plication of it, as containing that OBJ
jectionable word, but still the case OF
which we wish to speak would seem
to merit the full application of the
old maxim. 1t may, or may not, be
profitable for us. as Republicans, to
tear the bandages from political sores,
and abuse one another as the cause Of
those sores. We believe it to be not
only improbable, but decidedly un-
wise.
As we have heretofore had occasion
to intimate, the last Republican State
Convention at Columbus bowed to a
beer-keg as the coming Messiah.
Thousands of men whose principles
find foundation above their stomachs
told the Republican leaders that this
was a mistake. Immediately those
journals and those men that had fall
en- in with the foolery of the State
Convention began to ridicule all who
did not subscribe to their dangerous
nonsense, and to denounos them as
not being true Republicans. 1t was
because they were true Republicans
that they refused to follow the little
eight-by-ten statesmen into doggeries.
and wallow in the filth of such places
in order to get the votes Of the crimi-
nal classes. But it seems that even
now, with the Republican party kick
ed bodily out Of power in the State,
the advocates of taxed and protected
grog-shops have failed to receive the
full benefits, or discern the true mean
ing Of the lesson. Hear the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette:
''The Commercial Gazette advocated
very urgently the adoption of the
Scott Law, because it was absolutely
necessary that the Republican party
should define its position as to the
taxation Of the retail traffic in intoxi-
eating drinks
Yes. It was absolutely necessary
that the Republican party should de-
fine its position as to the taxation of
the crime of drunkard- making, but it
was not necessary for the party to
take the side of the saloon against the
home by advocating a tax-or license
upon crime. The position was de-
fined, and the Commercial Gazette can
dimly see some Of the results. As,
for instance:
SIN many of the Republican coun-
ties the Prohibition procession got
ahead of the Republican forces, and
all the energy expended in the cam
paign took the temperance shute. We
do not insist that any particular per-
son, or persons, were to blame for
this. The fault was in the Republi-
can organization.
That is true. A preponderance of
energy took the temperance ''shute, :"
and it aoas the fault of Republican
organization. And there were partic-
ular persons to blame for it. They
are those persons who fell into the de-
lusion that all the decency and honor
in the Republican party could be
smothered, and the party led captive
into the beer doggeries of Cincinnati
and Cleveland. We are pleased to
note that these persons are beginning
to learn little common sense, in the
school of experience, if wisdom does
come late.

To read the great daily newspapers

To read the great daily newspapers
especially the Sunday and Monday
issues-one would think that the
world is approaching total depravity
at break-neck speed. There are col
umn after column Of murders, out
RACES, and general ''cussedness. :" Yet
it is perhaps well that, through hu-
man enterprise, the people are permit
ted to see the worst side of the world,
in all its glaring hideousness, and
sickening detail. Still, it speaks a
word Of apology and encouragement
for the poor savage Of the wild, for
there are outrages and murders at
which the most degraded savage would
shudder, committed in the midst of
the most enlightened cities of the
world.
