The Bank Cashier.

A Wall street friend of mine, who
has just returned from the West, told
me rather good story a few days
ago. He said:
Il went out to the Yellowstone
with party. and We had a curions
adventure. There were in the crowd
two brokers, a bank cashier, a rail-
read man and couple Of Englishmen.
la lonely spot We were suddenly
held up by four mounted road agents,
who, with carbiues leveled at our
heads, shouted to us to put up our
hands, Our party was pretty badly
shaken up, 1 tell you. We were or
dered to step out while one of their
men ransacked the coach.
"Look here, men," said one of the
Englishmen, 'yon don't want anything
of US. We are travelling with just
money enough to pay our expenses.
This gentleman here is the cashier of
the - bank /; but he doesn't carry
the bank funds with him, you know"
1.-The fellows looked at him a mo-
ment then one of them asked of our
companion:
"Are you really a bank cashier~
Eyes" said he rather family.
"Then." said the leader of the
gang. then. boys, we're off this hunt.
Them gentlemen kin 20. We recog.
nize a professional when VS. see him,
and We take of our hats to q bank
cashier because he's the boss in our
line of business. You can have your
wallets. gentlemen, and We hope
you'll have safe journey"
"And by -, sir, would yon be-
lieve it, the rascals actually handed
back our things intact, lifted their
hats to the cashier and dashed off
like the mischief. We were rather
scarey about travelling in bis company
alter thst, but the poor fellow assur-
ed us on his soul he had never robbed
q bank in his life, and he attributed
it all to the fact that a few rascally
cashiers had made the banking bus
iness disreputable for person of
refined instincts.

There is something wrong in the
cultured East, and the times seem
sadly out of joint. Oil and water are
mixing, and the plebeian and patri.

shocking" The coachman drops the

to cleave unto the fair maiden whose
father was the butchers most aristo-
cratic customer. The son of an
officer of hig h rank in the navy falls
in love with a damsel of maroon
complexion and kinky hair, and dis

cess proceeds at a lively rate. There
is a canse for all this disturbance,
but what ii is we of the west, with
our simple ideas of social rights, du-
ties and obligations, are unable to

home government, or it may be the
logical and natural outcome of the
false ideas of the proprieties prevalent
in society itself. We cannot tell.

form of diversement, but We believe
that to visit a clean, well conducted,

IT'S MORAL EFFECT.

There are two standpoints from
which to view the circus. One is the
purely worldly or financial, the other
comprebends the spiritual or moral.
Without pausipg to count the dollars
and cents; to ask if this form OF
amusement rays, let us put on our
moral spectacles and look at it in this
light.
First: 1t is the most popular and at
tractive form of amusement the inge-
Duity of man has devised. 1t is al
most as old as the human race, and has
always kept pace with the advancing
steps of civilization. Rome, in b r
palmiest and proudest days entertain
ed the populace with the circus, and
their fame has hardly been dimmed
by those of the present day. That it
is so largely patronized is one point in
its favor.
Second There is nothing in
berently immoral in the circus. The
performances are not necessarily evil
nor are they naturally corrupting.
Like all things of mans invention,
this form of amusement may become
vitiated and be turned into harmful
channels, but that is its misfortune,
not its fault. The feats of skill in
horsemanship or in acrobatic per-
formances, are not wrong per Sc,
but worthy of praise and patronage.
Third: The modern circus brings
to our doors the representatives ofthe
animal kingdom from all quarters OF
the globe, and for an Insignificant
sum We can take trip through
Africa, Asia, Europe, our own mag
nifcent land, and touch at
the far off islands of the
sea. We see the creative power OF
the Creator in varied forms and man.

strange, the wonderful, which one
sees under the white tent fills the
mind with lessons to be learned from
no other source. The school child,

les. knows more of natural history,
than can be taught through years
in the school room. Even the patient
Sunday school teacher can better Inn
press npon the mind of the little one
she meets Sunday after Sunday, the
stories of the great beasts, the behe'
moths, of the scriptures, after that
little one has seen real flesh and
blood monster. The minister can
more wildly picture out the genesis
and ancient history Of the world,
the amplitude and variety of Gods
mower as shown in the animal king
dom, the elevating and uplifting
forces in the Christian religion,
as be sees the lower
forms of the human race, after a
visit TO the circus. And is there any
wrong in his making this visit? We
.kuow it is popular to say yes; to
xssaklAnn hands in holy horror at the

God knows what keys in the hu-
man heart to touch in order to draw
out its sweetest and most perfect har-

strains of sorrow and sadness; they
may be the loftier notes of joy and
gladness. God knows where the mel.
odies of our natures are, and what
discipline will bring them forth. Some
with plaintive tongues must walk in
lowly wales of life's weary way, others
in loftier hymns, sing of nothing but

The st. Joe Gazette says that the
true temperance societies are, after
all, the churches. If God Almighty's
christian religion cannot reform
drunkards, and teach men that the
indulgence in alcohol to excess is
sin against the light, all the prohihi.
ton laws possible of enactment will
not save a single man more from the
gutter. And yet, true as this is,
there is less practical, earnest effort
put forth by the churches to save
men from drink, than by many
secret societies. The pulpit runs
largely to generalities. Drunkenness
is the greatest foe to the christian
religion, but it is treated on the same
plane with minor sins. Gambling is
an evil, so is sensuality, but these two
combined and multiplied million
times, do not work the ruin, cause
the wrecks, blast the lives, destroy
the hopes, that this thing we call the
serpent of the still does constantly
To fight it at 10 ng range or in a gen

1t may be little premature, or
perhaps We are not informed, but "a
friend at our elbow" suggests that q
lecture course for this winter might
not prove a bad investment. We
trust that this little hint will not have
to be enlarged to the size of a four
story brick house.

The progress of the pulpit was
exemplifed in this city. recently,
when the minister announced the
coming of a celebrated artist, who
was to appear at the opera house,
and urged his people to attend the
performance. Twenty, yes, ten,
years ago such course would not
only have shocked the pews, but
most probably led to an inquirendo
de orthodoxo of the under shepherd
of the flock. But, tempora mutan-
tur, ct nos mutamur in ills, and
what our fathers deemed breaches of
the properties and sanctities, We
treat as being perfectly proper.
There was nothing wrong in this an
nouncement. The artist, genius
trained and developed, if you please,
was a famous musician, whose
recitals are as elevating. pure
aud moral as anything can
be, short of the gospel of Jesus Christ,
and the pity is that not more of the
good people of not only this ministers
congregation, but of all congregations,
did not avail themselves of this spirit.
ual refreshment, for such is music o;
the higher order. In fact, the man
or woman who has no music in
their soul, is incapable of cultivatiDg
those higher and purer forms of
christian thought which blossom into
beautiful christian lives. Music is
the handmade of religion. and the
beart-harp which is swept by this
divine mistress, is capable of being
touched by the weak hand Of the
starveling, the appealing hand of the
distressed and the erring. The pulpit
is not confined to the narrow sphere
of one end of the church as an agency
for the elevating and refining of
human nature. Its field is broad and
sympathetic one, and he is a wise
minister who can and will bring TO
MS aid every force and influence
which will enter into the solemn and
work of separating the
gold from the dross in humanity, and
bringing men and women nearer to
he localities as well as the realities |
# the gospel. The christian could
afely patronize Josefy.
