Cruelty Boys are Capable Of.

The old saying that small boys are the
most cruel animals under Heaven is GER
tainly borne out by the performances of
two young gentlemen who figured in
the Lambeth Police Court on Saturday.
Not having any .shome lessons to do,
this is how they spent the hours after
school n day last week: They got
hold of child, three and one-half years
old. put him in the dustbin of an unoc-
cupied house in their neighborhood,
threw brickbats on the top of him, and
fastened the lid down. The scheme as
divulged to another conspirator was to
leave the child in the dustbin until he
was dead, so as to get a reward for the
discovery of the body, and the little
victim was actually immured for more
than twenty houis. After such discIo-
sures, it is really quite refreshing to
come upon n touch of juvenile human
nature in the culprits, and to learn that
the defense set up by each in turn was
that at was the other boy."-PaH Nal!

While admonishing - number of
children, who had just been confirmed
recently, Archbishod Gibbons told this
story of a little boy in East Baltimore,
who was lost a month or two ago, and
was taken to the station house for the
night: ''After he was put to bed," said
the archbishop, .she called the officers
back, and said he had forgotten to say
his prayers, and in their presence the
little fellow bravely knelt down and re-
cited Our Father which was perhaps
the first sermon any of them had heard
in a long time; certainly it was the
best. "-Baltimore american.

Skepticism is doubt about the truth
though not actually denying it; hesita
ton about it; reluctance to define wha
faith is.
Agnostism is a denial of an accept
ance of religion, except that which
comes within knowledge. There ma
have been such a Divine person as Jesus
Christ or there may not, 1t does no
come within my knowledge, so l put i
aside because l know nothing about il
Positivism is non-acceptance of any
thing except can be positively proved
as e. g., a proposition in Euclid, or an
object demonstrated by one of thu
senses. Thus differing from these, Blu
hardly more perhaps than in name,
Rationalism, is a disbelief in the su
pernatural; nothing to be accepted un
til it be brought within the intellectual
power. Mans $ must be con
vinced. Faith is nothing.
Deism Is a belief in the existence of 8
first cause. called by the name of God
as creator of the world; but no belief in
the acceptance of Messiah as Son o.
God or Savior of the world, or in the
Holy Ghost, forming the Holy Trinity.
Atheism is not only a non recognition
of the possibility of there being a God.
but an absolute donial of His existence
in. any way whatever. AS David says
of the fool when he says in his heart,
There is no God
Radicalism, which means the uproot
ing (radix) of all time-honored institu.
tions and customs of antiquity and re
modelling them with new ones, suited
to the age of progress. g., the revo
luton of the laws which have hitherto
been marks of civilization, even to the
confiscation of all property and the lev
cling of society from the highest up
ward to the lowest downward.
Socialism and communism, which as
sert that men have a common right to

Nihilism, which carries forward into
action the ideas of all preceding, and
swallows up in itself radicalism, social

realize them, asserts 1t to be right to

The Handwritin , on the Wall.

One day last July 1 went into a law
yer's Office. l climbed up a flight of
dusty stairs, turned to the right, walked
down a hot. dingy passage way until l
came to a door and Knocked hard.
There was no response. Everything
was too sleepy ven to make an echo.
So I said leone in" to myself, and
walked in. 1t was very warm The
windows were open and the hot air
came quivering in from the blistering
street, and went around the Office in
sluggish waves varying the big law
books on the baize covered table. In
the corners of the room the cobwebs
hung dusty and motio1less. A broom
and a battered watering pot stood be-
hind the stoye, which was-red with rust
and stood on three legs and a cobble
stone, weary with inaction. A solitary
cuspidor, half filed with the sawdust Of
ages, slept behind the coal box, where
nobody could get at it. Tho glass
doors of the library hung ajar and the
bunch of keys, half caught, hung in a
limp, dissipated way from the lock as
though they had tried to get in but fell
asleep in the effort. The big flies bnzzeo
lazily about in the air, as though they
had about decided to make one more
effort to get to the ceiling. and if they
missed it that time, they would give it
up and fall down ON the floor. In q
very old-fashioned web in a window
corner, an old fashioned spider, in a
condition of pitiful destitution, sat by a
rent in his den. trying to make up his
mind to brace up and get at it and
mend it. A slim wasted wasp crawled
about over the old. time-eaten window
frame, looking for raw material for her
wood pulp mill. All the pens on the
green table were corroded and split up
the back. The ink in the big cut glass
stand had dried up in a sun backed,
cracked mass. The lawyer lay back
in his big leather chair. His feet We're
on the table. His head hung over the
back of the chair. His mouth was wide
open; his eyes were tight shut. His hat
had rolled under the table. A news
paper had fallen from his hand. He did
not movelwheu I told him I had come to
pay that bill. He snored, gently, reg.
ularly, but resolutely, like one to whom
snoring and sleeping is not a duty, but
a pleasure. Above the little iron safe
and above the big green table hung two
framed notices. Above the table it
said. in severe letters of forbidding
black:
This is my busy day"
Aud over the little iron safe emphatic
letters in chromatic print said:
-"Time is money"
l hadn't the heart to wake him. 1 sat
down and gave him an hour of improv
ing reflection and credited myself with
that amount on my bill.-Bwrdette.
