THE HAMMER,

Tic rod-hot iron on tho anvil lay
Twas I-wasting my fiery soul away
A heavy hammer in brawny hand
Fell hard upon me, grieyous to withstand
And from the iron rushing forco and fair,
Ten thousand sparks lit mp the embracing air;
The metal was my soul; the hammer blows
Affections, and calamities and Woes
The flashing sparks were gems from sorrow

Thoughts, fances, hopes, and all the songs Eva

morning after that crushing blow-a rich and influential man. Mary Arvine should know sometime that the man she had so cruelty thrust aside without one word of ex- plantation, and without giving him an oppor- tunitv to speak for himself, was not to be despised.
 He was rich, he was honored, he was en- terprising and he was pubhc-spirited that is, he liked to see all things around him in tidy, prosperous condition, and he was will ling to do his part toward making them so. He liked good roads and bridges, good schools and school houses and churches. Such things suited his tastes better, apart from making his property of more value than it would be if there was not such careful. thrifty manage ment in the village. But h1s silver and gold, his houses and lands had never filled the great void made by Mary Arvine's desertion and since his mothers death, the vacancy in his heart and home had seemed greater than ever. He felt that there was not 8 person on earth that really loved him for himself alone; and so, notwithstanding thousands thought that he filled an enviable place and craved his riches and honors, he was at heart a very sad man and, although he did not feel so utterly wretched as he did when he first read that cruel letter, he never felt more alone more desolate than he did the Sunday that he sat in that little church with Gordon and thought of the coming Christmas.
 Person Jsckson's simple sermon took Q powerful hold of him; 1t came home to his heart and conscience as no other sermon had ever done. He resolved with his whole soul before he slept that night tEat he would faithfully try the course that the good old preacher had marked out for himself and his hearers. Perhaps ray of the joy that he hoped to make some forlorn one feel might be reflected back into his own soul. His very resolve seemed like warm, living, loving thing, creeping into the emptiness of his life, bringing with it foretaste of rest and peace such as had long been a stranger to him, and while welcoming this newborn guest he fell into refreshing sleep.

 Well, well, Fiske, you are coming up in this village! I didn't know before that you had colored church in this place.
 ''I suppose not, Clinton Fiske replied to his friend, Randolph Gordon. "It is eight years since you were East before. Places do not grow up here in few months as they do in the West. But occasionally great changes take placs here in New England in a few years You remember, don't you, thas whsn you were here before all the land on which this church and the surrounding dwellings are now standing belonged to me2 And that it was sterile, hillside pasture then, with nothing growing upon it but mullein and stunted huckleberry bushes We'll, after all it has proved a lucky stroke of business, my buying this tract of land. But when I pur- chased it twelve years ago, and moved from Maine here with my mother, she was terribly homesick on seeing the place, and my uncle, who came down with her, said quite lugubri- ously that he most earnestly hoped that time would show that had made a good invest ment for myself, but it seemed to him that ran g great risk when paid three thousand dollars-every penny I had in the world theR-fer three hundred acres of such stony, hiIly land.

JUDGE MIGRANTS RESIGNATION.
 The resignation of Judge McCrary, of the Eighth United States Circuit, is causing g great deal of discussion. He has been 8 Circuit Judge for three years, and he resigns because the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad company has offered him much better salary than the United States gives him. He says that he cannot, in jestica to the claims of his family, decline an offer of honorable professional service which will greatly increase his income and at the same time tighten his burdens. In making this statement he follows the example of Judge four years ago to take 0 similar position as the salaried counsel of great railroad.
 A United States Circuit judge gets the magnificent salary of six thousand dollars year. No circuit includes less than three States. and the Eighth circuit, in which Judge McCrary works, comprises six States, name- ly, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas. The Revised Statutes of the United States require fourteen terms of the Circuit court in all to be held in the various States of the Eighth circuit every year. It will be seen. therefore. that Judge McOrary has had enough to do, and that $6,0Oo is hardly enough pay for him. or for anybody else who is fit for the place. We believe that the railroad company which in ducsd him to leave the service of the United States will give him $40, ,00O year.
 It is clear that unless there is some change in the salaries paid the United States Circuit judges, incidents like the resignation of Judge McCrary will continue to occur. As the New York Evening Post says Against the bidding of the railroads all it tthe United States) has to offer is the honor of the posi- ton, tenure no better than that offered by the railroads. 8 life of more constant toll, and much lower salary. One of two things must happen in consequence. Either the United States will get 8 second rate lawyer, who will not do his work well, or, what is more likely, 1t will get man of ability, but of small practice, to whom the position will count for good deal. In a few years he will, as has happened in the ease of Judge Dillon and Judge McCrary, become familiar moreover an expert in railroad and corpora ton law. In ether words, he will have en- tered the fields from which the great corpo- rations draw their lawyers. It will become worth the while of some railroad to offer him such salary as will tempt him to give it the benefit of his ability and judicial ex- perience. To suppose that, under such cir. cumstances, he will remain on the bench, if absurd, and nobody does really suppose 1t.
 The associate justices of the Supreme court receive $1O,000 a year, and the Circuit judges, 1t is said, work quite as hard as they do. The Circuit judges certainly ought to be paid more than they are, but it is moi probable that an increase of their salaries would keep all of them from resigning. This is money loving and money grabbing aCa

They date back to 1901, and there have been made to the two houses of Congress forty one favorable reports-twenty- three in the senate and eighteen in the house. Among them are those by such eminent and distin- guished statesmen as Senator John Holmes of Maine. Edward Livingston, Edward Ever ett, Daniel Webster. Caleb Cushing, Charles J Ingersoll, John M. Clayton, Rufus Choate, Truman Smith, Hannibal Hamlin and Charles Summer. TWice-ence under President Polk, and again under President Pierce, both houses of Congress concurrsd in an act for the relief of these claimants, but justice was arrested by presidential veto. The legisls- lures of the thirteen original States have at various times passed resolutions directing their senator's and asking their representa- lives to take favorable action in behalf of these claimants. Such eminent iurists ss Chief Justice John Marshall and Justice Jo- seph Story have also sanctioned the validity of these claims. Many persons in this State are interested in these claims.
