A CHANGE DEMANDED.

This ID nov the condition Of the
country. hence change is demanded.
The Republican party, so far As princi-
ple is concerned, is remiuisccnce. la
practice 1t Is an organization for enrich
ing those who control its machinery.
The frauds and jobbery which have been
brought TO light in every department Of
the government are sufficient TO have
called for reform within the Republican
party, yet those in authority, made
reckless by tho long possession of pew.
er, have suecumbcd TO its corrupting IN
aaence and have placed ia nomination
a ticket against which the independent
portion Of the party are in open revolt.
Therefore change Is demanded,
Such change was alika necessary in
1876, but the will Of the people was
then defeated by fraud which can
never he forgotten nor condoned. Again
IN 1850 the charge demanded by the
people was defeated by tho lavish use
OF money contributed by unscrupnIous
contractors and shameless jobbera who
bad bargained for unlawful profits or
for high office.

TREASURES IN HEAVEN.

But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and
where thiece do not break through nor steal-
Ndt. 6: 49,
'Tfs oft of a beautiful city hear,
Whose walls are untouched with the blemish
of time;
Eternitys river flows crystal and clear,
And God is the light of the beautiful cline.
They tell me the pavements are cleaning with
gold;
The walls are of jasper, and gateways of
pearl;
That over its beauty no shadows are rolled,
No darkeniug tempests their banners unfurl.
When nights starry silence is reigning supreme,
And daylight has faded away in the west.
Alone in the solitude quiet dream
OF Heaven the home of earths brightest and
best.
Sometimes in my wandering fancy it seems,
can almost hear the invisible choir
Its music send down on the moons silver beams.
And waken song in my faltering lyre.
The years roll along in their hurrying flight
And leave with me naught of the treasures of
earth;
My days will be spent a watch in the night
For short is the time unto Death from ones
birth.
Then up in that beautiful city above
May some new treasure be storing away.
Whose beauty shall Hndle my heart in love
For God, the Great Light of Eternty's Day.
What matter the rubies and jewels of earth,
Or pearls of the Orient pillowed in gold?
For slight is their value and little their worth.
Compared with the treasures that heaven
doth hold.
NO rust can corrupt, and no thief steal away,
The treasure have in the city of Love;
No darkness can shadow the glory of day,
That shines in that beautiful city above.

A violent ring at the door and the
doctor poked his head out of an upper
window and demanded: "What s want
ed?" For PHYS sake make haste,''
came the answer. Its case of life
and death. I'm Mr.. Simpson, and you
are wanted at the house Immediately. ="
The doctor closed the window, and
about fifteen minutes later sauntered
leisurely out of the front door and said
"Ah, Simpson, your wife has another
fainting spell, l suppose?' mo, no
worse than that; it's her little dog, her
pet poodle. He's all rolled up with
cramps" 'What!" shouted the now
alarmed physician, ''her pet poodle
sick? This is indeed serious. If he
should die your wife would not live g
week" And the two men dashed madly
up the street.

A BORN SPELLER.

Mr.. Jones was writing aletter. Writ
ing is not his strong point, neither is
spelling, and he called on Mrs. Jones,
who was sewing in the room.
Maria he said, suspending his pen
in the air and catching a globule of ink
on his nose, lis there any h in sofa?n
''Of course there is answered Mrs.
Jones, taking from her mouth a but
ton that she was going to sew on Will
lies best jacket; sophia, sofa"
Thanks! That's the way l always
spell it, come to think of it, " said Jones,
airily. Then there was a silence. Sud
denly he asked:
Are there two g's in sugar, Maria?"
Mercy, non' said Mrs. Jones, sharp
ly. Il should think you could spell a
little word like that, Jeptha. S-h-u-g-a-r
sugar"
That's So" assented Jones, but l
forgot the h; thought the word didn't
look right" and he scratched in the
missing aspirate. Then he folded his
letter and set about directing it.
How many MS in Cincinnati?' he
asked, balancing a postage stamp on
his tongue.
About a dozenn snapped Mrs.
Jones, who has just discovered that
both knees of Willie's pants need re-
pairing. 'S-i-n-c-i-n-n-a-t-i, Cincinnati
I'm not sure that the last letter is a Y
or i. You ought to keep dictionary,
Jeptha, and not depend on ne for
everything"
Il don't need one, when you're
around, dear said Jones, with a sly
wink at the ceiling.
Il used to be a pretty good speller," "
said Mrs. Jones eomplacently, but I'm
liable to make mistakes like other peo-
Pile. Comes natural for some folks to
spell, and suppose I'm one of Them

square ornaments for Willie's knees,

HOW HE GOT AROUND 1T.

remember daily paper started on
this continent few years ago to ad-
vocate temperance and other superla-
tive and extensively Christian virtues,
which had many hard struggle in its
audible endeavors to please God and
mammon. Here racing is generally
supposed to be inferior, as an act of
devotion, to attending church equally
of course the readers of even temper
ance sheet like to know the bare fact
that race meeting has taken place.
This much the paper in question con-
ceded without striking blow, but,
alas, it was soon after discovered that
the correct state of the pools was a
matter of manifest Importance to
| church members, who might otherwise
be induced by evil-minded and ungodly
persons to back the wrong horse.
What was to be done? 1t would never
do to give the sanction of the paper to
so deadly sin as betting, and the re-
ligious editor scratched his head in
sore perplexity for an hour or more
over the difficult problem. The result
of his cogitations give from memory.
The account of the meeting ran some
what as follows:
THE Summerside races took place
yesterday, in spite of all that we have
from time to time said against the pro-
priety of such exhibition. A large
crowd was present, who appeared to
hugely enjoy the disgraceful scenes,
and we regret to say the weather was
fine and the ground in excellent order.
The abominable and reprehensible sin
of betting prevailed to large extent
upon the result of the first race, for
which Blue Jay was the favorite at 3
to 90
Thus were the morals of the paper
vindicated and the deacons kept posted
on results. Musical Observer.

A LITTLE LEGAL ADVICE

"A LII i LIE LEGAL ADVICE
Prosecutor Winfield, of Hudson coun-
ty, has written a book pertaining to
Grand Juries, their duties, &c. From
it we learn that persons expecting to
have case come before the Grand
Jury may challenge Grand Juror the
same as Petit Juror; that the Prose
cutor has the right to be in the Grand
Jury room to examine witness and
make suggestions of law, but not while
the Grand Jurors are discussing and
deciding the question of finding a bill.
The following are interesting points of
law as laid down by Mr.. Winfield:
You have a right to kill man who
is attempting to commit arson, bur-
glary in a dwelling house, murder,
rape or robbery.
A married man cannot be convicted
of adultery unless the woman is mar
ried also.
A man has right to burn down his
own house or other building-or even
If he only has possession under a con-
tract to purchase it. He is responsible
Tor the damage done to other property,
and not entitled to any benefit that
would have resulted from an acci
dental destruction of the building. A
wife cannot be arrested for setting fire
to her husbands property.
If iS an aSSaJ1 md lo+to,1-
horse on which one is riding, or to
run against wagon in which he is
riding, or to incite another to do any,
thing of the kind.
An indictment for bigamy can only
be found in the county in which the
second marriage was solemnized. In
case OF divorce, or absence from the
State, or concealment in the State for
seven years successively, the second
marriage is not bigamous.
1t is as much of crime to lift the
latch of door for the purpose of rob-
berry as it is to break the door open.
If the thief enters an open door or
window he cannot be indicted for
"breaking.n
A single unlawful without license or
on Sunday sale of malt liquor consti-
tutes "a disorderly house, but it ap-
pears that such is not the case if it is
spirituous liquor
A mere lie is not a false pretense.
1t must be that some one relied on the
falsehood to his own pecuniary loss.
Its forgery" to alter the figures in
a cash or other book account to conceal
fraud.
A wife cannot be arrested for steal
ing her husbands goods, nor can any
other person who commits the theft
with her knowledge.
If man accidentally, inadvertently
or in selfdefense kills another while in
the act of committing a crime he is
guilty of murder in the first degree.
1t is ''perjury' to swear that you
believe" fact to be so when you
know it is not. Generally it requires
two opposing witnesses to convict of
perjury.
A wife cannot be indicted for re-
ceiving and concealing goods stolen by
her husband.
Ii an officer attempts to arrest you
illegally you have the right to resist
him. You also have the right to resist
arrest by any one not exhibiting his
badge or insignia of office.
If single other person is ''frigh-
tened" by the unlawful or violent con
duct OF two or more in the street it
constitutes a riot.n
snatching anything from person is
not highway robbery" There must
be either violence or threats. Other
wise it is simply larceny from the per-
son, the same as if the loser were drunk
or asleep.
