One of the most delicious titbits of the
kind that ever came under our notice is the
following from Saturdays Journal:
The apprehensions OF the friends OF
torily adjusted by the Governors insertion of the
seml-colO1, which he uses with wise diccrimina-
ton.
The Governor of Indiana "monkeyins'
with a semi colon, boldly and artistically
thrown upon canvass, would doubtless create
quite as much commotion one of Wig
gins storm prophecies. The intimates OF
the Governor say that he passes hours In
changing the positions of periods and COM
mas in manuscript, and that he is never so
happy as when crossing ''t's'' or dotting
SIS" This, we confess. is new reve-
lation in our Governors character.
We trust that if our grand benevolent or
ders can be protected in anywise by the
shifting Of semi-colon. then let the Gov
ernor head his gigantic intellect by al
means in that direction.
The question arises. however. What right
has he to make the slightest change in any
bill passed by the Legislature? II he can
chsDge or make semi-colon, then he can
change a word or a sentence. There is
no limit to it. We say this without any
reference TO the bill in which the semi-colon
occurs. The friends Of the grand and good
o.ders which it may or not affect, know that
the Sentinel would not do anything to
affect their interest except in the right
direction. The Journal says the Governor
inserts the semi-colon with a wise dis
elimination" This equals some of the

states above concerning the check story. He
said he never rode q foot on any railroad in

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HANNA told the
Treasurer of State before he left for
home last week that the appropriation bill
lad been sent to him in time, bat that he did
net sign it because it had not been legally
passed This was none of his business, and
bezdes, Governor Baker and other high Re
publican authority said that it had been.
However, we DO not care TO talk
about that now. After making the
acknowledgment referred to in the fore
going to Treasurer Cooper, he atterward met
M Feltus, editor OF the Bloomington
Courier, and told him that the bill did not
get TO him IN time, and that was the reason
ne did not sign it. That is as far as the bill

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.

agree as TO What Constitutes the Voice
OF the People.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-In the Star Route
trial to day Mr.. Wilson resumed the intro
duction of official records OF fines and re-
missions from the Contract Office. The en-
tire morning session was consumed in this
tedious work, which was interrupted after
recess to allow the examination of Senator
elect Thomas NJ. Bowen, of Colorado He
proceeded to give an account of the devel-
opment of Colorado, the extension of rail-
way communication, the growth of the cat
tie interest and the state of mail facilities.
The witness identified his signature to
several letters and portions relpting to Colo
RADIO rey1tes, and said these papers correctly
represented the needs of the country. No
crOss-examination.
The examination of the Inspection Office
papers was then resumed. When the read
ing Of the petitions had progressed several
hours the Court endeavored to bring it to an
end, declaring that the petitions filed after
orders for inspection had been made were
worthless.
IngersoI replied at some length. He as
serted that the petitions justified the orders.
They represented the will of the people

Mrs. Trask thought seriously of her
husbands earnest words during the ensu-
ing week, aud for the first time realized
how selfish had been her life, how narrow
her sphere of usefulness. Possessed of
cultured mind and rare social qualities,
she had regarded them not as gifts from
God to be used in his service, but merely
as 80 many stepping-stones placed for her
own convenience and advancement in So
ciety. Mindful to some extent Of the OBJ
legations resting upon her, she had not
been neglectful of what had been termed
Christian labor yet the work for which
she was really best gifted, had been left
undone. She had given bread to the hun
cry, but paid no attention to the higher
needs of the furnishing souls about her;
she had clothed the naked, but by the
GOODNESS of her reception, had chilled the
heart of her uninterestipg guest whom
her husband had invited to their home.
Inexperienced as nurse, she had prof
fered her inefficient service in sickness to
families whose threshold she had never
deigned to cross in time of health, when
an hour spent in bright, social converse
with some tired mother and her growing
DOJb udFO uOuO SOOu'
She had taken great credit to herself for
seeking the companionship only of con-
genial spirits and intellectual equals or
superiors. Claiming freedom from the
pride of wealth, she had yet harbored and
nursed with fondest care far more deadly
pride, the pride of culture.
Conscientious and practical, for Mrs.
Trask to see her sin was to repent thereof,
and repentance meant reformation. She
did not leave the First Church, but seeing
there broad field of labor, began work
at once, using gladly the best and most
polished implements at her command.
She soon made the acquaintance not only
of the woman to whom her husband al.
luded, but of the sad-faced widow she had
often met in the aisle, the shy young
couple, evidently from the country, who
had lately taken seats in front of them,
and of the lonely girl she had noticed in
distant corner of the church. To these
and many others in the congregation, to
rich as we'll as poor, her kindly words
and sympathetic friendship brought
strength and comfort, and she felt herself
no longer I" a stranger in a strange place,
but one of many workers in her Masters

Anti-ReligiOus Cant.

The perpetual din about decay of Chris
tianity, and the dying out of its creed,
which is kept up in our periodical litera-
ture by writers big and little of certain
class, has now become species of anti
religious cant which is as senseless, and
quite as offensive to all right-minded peo-
pie, as anything that ever emanated from
the narrow and bigoted sectaries of less
intelligent ages. 1t is really reproach
to the Jurrent literature of the time, which
ought to be the conservator of truth and
righteousness, instead of constantly going
out of its way to insult thousands of the
most intelligent people in the land, who
hold nothing more true or more vital than
the great truths OF Christianity. Why
should such truths be thus caricatured,
misrepresented and maligned ? And why
should the conductors Of our reviews and
magazines lend the sanction of their great
journals to class of writers who insult
the whole Christian people by this silly
cant of caricature and misrepresentation
! and malignity 2-Interior.

Waiting for the dawning,
For the opening of the door;
Waiting till the Master
Shall bid me rise and come
To the glory of his presence
To the gladness of his home.
A weary path I've travelled,
Mid darkness, storm and strife;
Bearing many a burden
Struggling for my life;
But now the morn is breaking,
My toll will soon be Ger;

My hand is on the door.
Methinks hear the voices
OF the blessed as they stand,
Singing in the sunshine
OF the sinless land.
OF would that were with them,
Amid their shining throng,
Minsling in their worship
Joining in their song.
The friends that started with me
Have entered long ago,
One by one they left me
Struggling with the foe.
Their pilgrimage was shorter,
Their triumph sooner won;
How lovingly they'll greet me
When my toll is done
With them, the blessed angels,
That know nor grief nor sin,
see them by the portals,
Prepared to let me in.

HER STORY.

My story, marin? Well really now,
haven't much TO say;
But II you'd come year ago,
And then again to-day,
No need Of words 10 tell you, marin,
What your own eyes could see,
OF what the temperance cause has done,
For my dear John and me-
A year ago we hadn't flour
To make a loaf OF bread,
And many time these little ones
Went supperless to bed;
Now, look into the larder, D,arm;
There's sugar, -four and tea,
And that il what the temperance cause
Has done for John and me.
He used to walk along the street,
Looking 30 mean and low,
As II he hardly dared to meet
The friends he used to know;
But now he looks them in the face,
And walks off bold and free,
And that is what the temperance cause
Has done for John and me.
The children were afraid of John;
His coming stopped their play,
But now when supper-time Ia Ger,
And the tables cleared away
The boys all frolic round his chair,
And the baby climbs his knee,
And that is what the temperance cause
Has done for John and me.
A year ago these little boys
Went strolling down the street,
With scanty clothing on their backs,
And nothing on their feet;
But now they've shoes and stockings,
And good clothing, as you see,
And that is what the temperance cause
Has done for John and me.
o, those long, long days are Ger,
OF sorrow and Of pain
The children have their father back,
And |, my John again.
o, pray excuse my feelings. marin,
IT'S only JOY to see
How much the temperance cause has done
For my dear John and me-
Each morning when he goes to work,
upward look, and say
20, heavenly Father, help dear John
To keep his pledge o-dayw
And every night, before sleep,
Thank him on Bonded knee,
For what the temperance cause has done
For nay dear John and me. Selected
