PURE GOLD OF LIFE.

Oh the wealth of life is the good it i'm
parts
And the blessing it gathers about is;
The strength it instills into Ger burdene
hearts
That might sink overwhelmed without it,
What joy to the soul is the thought tina
we may
Breathe peace into some troubled spirit,
And light up the darkness of some Swallowed
way
And lift up some sad heart and cheer it.
Then let avarice gather and selfishly hold
And heartlessly hoard up its treasure;
Sweet Charity's wealth is far bstter than
gold,
Surprising all miserly measure.

NO PARENTS, NO HOME.
And Only a Crime Could Bring Her to
Christian Shelter.

There are few sights better calculated to
kindle the spark of pity than the one pre-
scented iH the police court yesterday morn
ing. The bull pen was mostly filed with the
ordinary run of'common buns, but among
the crowd was young girl named Mary
Coyne, who had been arrested on the charge
of larceny. She is about eighteen or nine
teen years of age, and when brought INTO the
court room her attire consisted of a thin
calico dress, beneath which the shrunken
child's limbs could he seen. She was bare
footed, and it seemed impossible that a city
so rich and opulent in this worlds goods
as st. Paul should furnish such a poverty
stricken and woe-begone spectacle She was
charged with stealing pair of shoes from
the store Of Nelson IL Davis. on East
Seventh street, and she said she was guilty.
The court glanced at her shivering feet, for
1t was chilly September mcrning, and
asked her where she lived. She replyed no
where; her mother and father were both
dead and she had neither home, friends or
money. The eye of the good judge glistened
and his voice trembled with emotion as he
talked to the Maynard waif of humanity. Oh
the power OF pity; in that rude prisoners
dock filled with men whose vice and selfish
ness had brought them to grief, there were
genuine tears shed, and if the recording
angel had been looking down from the shin
ING battlements of the great white throne he
must needs have given them a mark OF credit
on the balance of their lives.
After she had been sentenced to sixty
days in the Shepherds, for as the court
tholgIt. this is the best place for her, and
the men had taken their shoe leather back.
Clerk Fairchild called Gen. Shields to the
front and saying that the girl must be pro-
vlded with shoes, he gave the necessary
money to purchase them with, and the poor
child went away happy because her trouble
had brought her friends which she had never
dreamed of before
How different was the case of Patrick Nc
Intyre He is brutal fellow who gets
drunk, goes home and whips his wife. On
Wednesday night he abused her most shame
fully and he was sent up for thirty DAYS and
put under bonds of $3.50 to keep the peace.
Joe Hartman, a dirty little man. was
charged with working the free lunch racket
too freely and he was sent out for ten DAYS.
Edward Rose is as dark as nightshade and
hens not very sweet scented rose either.
He'was charged with putting head on Mar

Filth street, and it cost him fifteen bills.

An Imnortant Snit.

j. B. Brisbin is preparing papers to com
mence an action against the County of Ram
sey and Auditor McCardy to enioin the tax
sale for delinquent taxes of the year 1888. as
as to certain property One of the grounds
of objection is that no newspaper has been
legally selected TO publish the delinquent tax
list. Secondly, there is in the figures desig-
mating the amount of tax, ''no line or deci-
mai mark separating the two right hand
figures in the columns containing the amount
OF taxes and penalties, and total amount Of
Judgment. There are other objections but
these are regarded as the prominent ones.
We heretofore adverted to the latter objection
in an issue of the 9th of July. The first
point it will be seen raises the regularity of
the retention of this paper and the subsequent
irregularity, as is claimed, in the retention
OF the duplicates by the auditor. Mr.. b

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE examination
of Henry H. Hadley On Judgment against
him was continued to-day. The counsel for
Hadley claimed that the proceedings were
merely for the purpose of making political
capital. Hadley was asked the date of his
report to the Democratic national committee
of his investigation of the Morey letter. He
could not remember the date and would fur
nish the record of the committee. The next
question was as to the nature of the services
rendered the committee by Hadley. He an
swered that John Davenport had asked him
a similar question in 1880, and that he had
gathered up all the memoranda on the sub
ject in his possession and in possession of
the committee Witness was asked further
questions about the money he received from
the committee He said it was 81, 800 to
50, 600. If the counsel were fair and Just
they would look at the records he promised
to produce which would give such informa-
ton in detail. The counsel said he did not
want the record. To another question he
said John 1. Davenport had in 1881 paid him
81, 500 for such facts as he possessed in,re-
gard to the Morey letter. .-l s.aa,
