Aud my life is linked with thiue.
And cen one line will tell me,
With more than magic skill,
That though I'm absent from thy side,
! am remembered still.

dist Church Extension Board of mismanage-

members declares that for every $3.50 col
will show that a church worth ST., 25O has been

The present tendency of our courts to give
effect to the purpose of the law against the
technicalities which have been made so often
to cripple or kill it, though of comparatively
recent operation, is by no means new teach
ing of better philosophy. In 1858, when
the Supreme Court of this State sacrificed all
Of the free schools that were worth maintain
ing to miserable bubble on the word
uniform" in the Constitution, the Journal
'took up the cudgels" against the whole sys-
tenn of disrorting the obvious purposes of the
law by technicalities, and putting forms in
the way of its just effect. 1t was new doc
trine in those days. But we have returned to
it again and again, as occasion offered, till
now there is hardly State paper Of respecta-
BILE standing that does not join in the repro
baton of technical rulings that shield
criminals or delay justice. Laws
are made for the protection Of the commu-
nifty, not of it's scoundrels, and the system of
jurisprudence that puts the forms of proceed
ure above the purpose of the law is an abuse
of character so grave that the courts main
tanning it are as mischievous as the villains
they protect. This is now general senti
ment. And we have seen its influence more
than ever in recent rulings of our Supreme
Court refusing new trials or revision of judg-
ments for reasons that did not affect the sub
stantial justice of the case. 1t is whole
some condition of judicial feeling or convic
ton, and it will not have far to go from its
present position to reach complete reversal
of the old relation of form and substance, and
give as little effect to mere technical obstruc-
ton as it once gave to informal and i'll
adjusted justice.

Mr.. STERLING, of Brooklyn, says he has
been temporarily suspended from the Office of
weigher, but has not been removed, and he
would like to know by what right any other
man has been given his place. In fact, he
goes so far as to declare that he will resist by
process of quo warranto any person attempting
to assume the duties of the Office until his own
removal for cause has been made This being
the situation, the attention of the country
and of the administration is again called to
the squabble for tenacent Office which, it
was hoped, was finally disposed of.

THE rage of the butter makers over the ac-
ton of the managers of the Chicago fat-stock

manufacturers space for their exhibits in the

According to Mr.. Armour, thirty "creameries'
buy lard or other fats of him for butter max
ing purposes. The people who have been pay
ing extra prices for "pure creamery butter
will now feel closer sympathy for the un-
fortunate persons compelled to use butterine
or nothing, and whom they have been accus-
toned to pity from affair."

would procure divorce and marry her. The

THE chief occupation of New England boys
for over two hundred years having been that of
picking up stones, it might be supposed by those
not familiar with that section of country, that
no more stones were left on the surface of the
ground. That this is not the case, however is
shown by the general rejoicing over the inven-
ton of a stone picking machine by some in
genious Yankee. With their burden lifted by
this laborsaving machine, the coming genera
ton of boys, instead of fleeing to the West, can
stay at home and give the otherwise superfuous
girls chance-to get married

IT is quite amusing to see some people still
