The general decay and extinction of
time honored customs afford material for
reflection and also occasionally for amuse
ment. Thus in old times it was the habit
to mako sure that everybody should listen
to the Sunday sermon, by engaging q per.
son To wake up those who chanced to fall
asleep. We read, for example, in the
records OF the old church of Prest wick in
England, that the parishioners agreed
" that thirteen shillings a year be given
to George Grimshaw, of R)oden Llnc, for
ye time being, aud a new coat not ex.
ceeding twenty shillings every other year
for his pains in waking sleepers ia We
church, whipping out dogs, keeping the
children quiet and orderly, and keeping
20 pulpit aud church walks clean." In
Boston, Massachusetts,, until far beyond
early Puritan times, it was Unable offence
for man to kiss his wife ON the Sabbath.
Alter while, this custom also fell into
desuetude-perhaps because men reyepped
themselves by kissing other mems wives
although the law still remains on the
statute book, 1t is to be hoped that In
Few ages the Sunday law of 1894 will
likewise grow stiff aud stark and inefficient
In the long run, only the flttest survives,
and this relic of intolerance is so eminently
unit that its end-though it may DO long
deieued-.is certain.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10. 1883.


A Test Case.
A recent law of the Legislature re
auires that workmen shall be paid their
wages In cash or orders. bearing interest,
redeemable in cash. The object of the law
was to protect workmen from the impo.
sitious practiced upon them by em oloy-
ers who sold them goods at high prices
out OF their stores, deducting the amount
of their bills from their wages. IL they
did not have stores Of their own they
would give orders on other stores, and
receive from their proprietorsa percent
age upon the amounts bought by the
men. This was certainly practice
liable to great abuse. The goods thus
sold to the workmen could be sold
at a small profit, since the security for
their payment was in the hands OF the
seller. But the temptation to sell nj
large profit was great, since such prch'
could be secured. The employer paying
but once or twice month, the work.
man would have to buy from him or
wait for what he wanted until pay day.
The latter would not be great hard
shin. IL is true but great many work.
men are very improvident they seem
very 10th to try to make their money
hold out from payday to ay.day, and
very cheerfully run in debt when they
get a chance. They make a com.
pany store very profitable thing
to keep. And it is still a profitable
business, the Legislatures effort to do
away with 1t not being very successful.
Every railroad contractor counts on the
profits of his store to reduce the amount
of wages he pays. Seemingly the labor.
ers who grade railroad track receive a
large recompense for their labor: but tie
percentage Of it which goes back to the
contractor in the profit upon the goods
they buy at his store makes the cost Of
their hire much less than it seems. In
the mining regions the practice of pay.
ing in goods is very prevalent and means
are found to readily evade the laws fer
bidding it. The workman does not COM
plain SO long as he is employed; and
should he be discha Il,d ard refustto
Let his store bill be uaken off his wages
the matter Is COMPROMISED and settled.
Some Of the workmep Of the Allentown

SIR. nucnanan's FIRST Alarm.

Just after the election Of lSGO--eyen
before any Southern state had taken a
decided step toward secession, one of the
senators from South Carolina left tho
capitol in hun, declaring the election Of
MIR. Lincoln meant civil war, and that he
would no longer serve in tho Senate This
was the first significant act poiuting to
secession, and IL made an impression upon
Dir. Buchanan's mind. Very soon alter
1t occurred he took occasion TO say to
me:

secede ? d. you lind any warrant 10 the
