more active interest in these matters which so
nearly concern them. A demand should be
made upon the next Legislature for the appoint
ment of Board of Charities; but in the
meantime people should inform themselves
to the best of their ability and by such means
as are at their command as to what is going on
inside the public houses for refuge for the
poor, the afflicted and the criminal classes. It
is only by such watchfulness that the inmates

THE Young Peoples Temperance Union
should be given all the aid and encourage
ment necessary in their work of affording a
home for the newsboys and bootblacks. These
little fellows will gladly avail themselves of
the privileges offered by the proposed rooms
in the way of warmth. shelter food and edu-
cation, and they will prefer to pay something
than to receive these ministrations in the way
of charity. Yet there must be fund, and
there must be kindly help and sympathy in
score of ways from the Christian and benevo-
lent public. Many of the Sunday schools of
the city have forwarded good contributions to
help this work-one sending in more than 500.
If any school has not yet made its collection
it is hoped that it will do SO to-day, and
send it to the officers of the Union to-mor-
row, at No 68 North Pennsylvania street. The
rooms will be formally opened tomorrow
night and the public are invited to participate
in the exercises The list of speakers is some
what formidable; but possibly all of them will
not speak, and fortunately scarcely any of
them are great Columbian orators, but are on
the programme merely to express the interest
and cooperation Of the several classes they
may represent in the important work proposed

intuition Of her pure affection came quickly
to her aid and suggested a test If he loved
her, she said, as much as he did when the
skies were bright above her and the roses
were in her cheeks, or, rather, in her hair,
he should send her the ring he wore upon his
little finger. And, if he wished to make the
proof beyond doubt, he should send with it,
the ring, the finger that it encircled Many a
man would have faltered there; but he did
not. Taking dull pocket-knife he deliber-
ately severed the finger, and, wrapping it and
the ring in handkerchief, sent them to his
lady love. The ladies of st. Louis, who have
made SO much over the murderer of Preller,
might divide their devotions. and give a
goodly share to this chivalric thief. Let his
cell be decorated, and flowers be sent him
forthwith.

AN UGLY "REMINISCENCES.

The petition of Mrs. Prudence Crandall
Phillio to the Connecticut Legislature, to
grant her small annuity, is disagreeable
reminder to the people Of that State of the
anti-slavery agitation which once stirred their
fathers and mothers to actions not at all cred
table. Prudence Crandall was, in 1884, a
young woman with decided views of her own
and a small amount Of property. To carry
out her advanced ideas she established a
school, and advertised that colored pupils
would be received A number Immediately
took advantage Of the opportunity, the result
being the withdrawal of all white children
and wild commotion in the neighborhood.
Miss Crandall, being possessed Of nerve, con-
tinued teaching under very discouraging cir
cumstances, both she and her negro pupils
suffering all varieties of lawless persecu-
ton. The sensation caused by her
course extended through the State,
and brought about the passage Of
a law forbidding the establishment of educa-
tional institutions for colored persons without
the consent of the selectmen of the school
district Under this law Miss Crandall was
arrested and thrown into Jail, her cell being
one just vacated by murderer. Owing to an
informality in the proceedings, prosecution
was not pressed and she was released, but was
not yet free from the effects of public opinion.
A mob finally destroyed her house, and by
the advice of friends she gave up her humane
enterprise, after much suffering and pecuni-
airy loss. Now, at the age of eighty three, a
widow, living on an unimproved farm in
Kansas, she asks that amends be made for the
early injustice. The same spirit that charac-
terized her fifty years ago, crops out again in a
letter to friend in which she remarks that
though poor, she is not an object of charity,
and asks only the payment of a just debt and
not donation. "For me to beg" says this
plucky old lady, II think there will DO no
necessity, and to dig am not ashamed
If the Connecticut Legislature fails to recon-
pense her for the wrongs inflicted when the
State was In condition of semi barbarism it
will be an indication that that body has not
yet entirely emerged into the light of civil
zation

-LOWLY CHIVALRY,
zation.

Chivalry is not dead yet, though it is very
eccentric in its manifestation and sporadic in
its appearance. Once it was the proper thing
for the lover, the gallant in general, to dare
all kinds of danger for his lady-love, wearing
her colors on his sleeve, entering the lists and
making bloody fool of himself in every con-
ceivable way. In the course Of inevitable
complications that knight was an exception
who had not done up his man. The world
was peopled largely with well-dressed loafers
with only one ear, the other having bit the
dust, as it were, in toornymong. Bias scars
in the cheek, an eye missing, nose shorn of
portion of its original diplensions-all these
were passports to good society, and the uglier
a man made himself in legitimate way the
better he stood in the esteem of ladies fair
and sweet. Lancelot was pretty well carved
up in this way when the lily maid of Astolat
fell in love with him, and with such fearful
consequence. Innumerable instances are of
record wherein chivalrous men have made
fools of themselves for some woman's dear
loves sake, and the rule seems to have been
the greater the folly Of any enterprise the
more glory was awarded Chivalry at its best
finds now dusky imitator in the occident.
A lady of color is in durance vile in the don
jon keep at st. Louis, sentenced to death for
murder. Like most of the sex, she has alover.
But he, like the woman who commanded the
passion of his heart was in enforced restraint
preliminary to serving time in another prison
.: having appropriated things not legally his
own. These, it must be confessed, are rather
crude materials out of which to weave senti-
ment and romance. He had told his love, on
some more propitious occasion of their past
lives and had sworn eternal fidelity. Thrown
into prison and condemned to death, her
thoughts naturally turned to him, and her
heart craved some token Of his fidelity. The

Junius Brutus 'Poleon Brown
the happiest man in all the town.
Ye couldn't touch him on the raw
C'ntentedest man ye ever saw.
He had the mumps at thirty-one,
The measles next when they was done;
And when the ager'd made him slim
The yeller janders tackled him.
He rassled with the hoopin' cough
At forty; but he shuck it off,
And laft and said he didn't know
Why tribble-ation loved him 80.
The women all said Brown was just
The kind Of man that they could trust;
His gentle ways and smiling face
Would food with sunshine any place.
But Pole he never married, cause
Well, none knew what the reason was,
Except that he would just aver
That he'd a-been left widowsr.
He 'druther take things as they come,
And not invite fresh troubles home;
Butas for trouble-lawi WY Pole
I'd let it tumble off his soul
Like water tumbles off duck.
Through sorrow he could run amuck
And come out smiling at the end
With disappointment as his friend.
When age reached for Neepo eon's hair,
And left him bald, he didn't care;
But smilin' still, he softly said:
sits jest as well-I don't like redl"
And all the children of thu town
Were mighty fond of 'Poleon Brown;
They loved this kindliest of men,
And Brown, he loved EN- back again.
He made his little world serene
For all mankind, and might have seen
And talked with angels. I've within
They d run to meet man like him.
The very dogs were glad to touch
The hand of him they loved SO much
No happier man in all the town
Than Junius Brutus 'Poleon Brown.
