Another serious difficulty which demands the
immediate attention Of the Government. and which
constitutes imminent danger not only 10 the
Cabinet but even to the dynasty is the attitude
ASSUMED by the clergy and religious orders through
out the land. The streets literally swarm with
members Of the ecclesiastical profession. indie
pendently of the regular parish clergy there are at
the present moment no less than 10000 monks
and 10000 nuns in Spain, just six times a. many
us there were in 1875. In the city OF Barcelona
alone there are ! 60 converts. Of which 1885 are
occupied by French and Italian ssterhOods. In
Madrid they are even more numerous and drive
an immense trade in foreign and colonial
ware. The latter ore imported by them free OF
duty as being obicts dc pete' that is, goods
destined for ecclesiastical purposes, and are sold
below market rates, but at an enormous profit TO
the various retail houses in the city and the
provinces. Other religious communities devote
themselves to manufacturing and agricultural en-
terprises, TO the production of wine and to the
distillng Of spirits, and having internal revenue
duties TO pay, they are able TO defy all competi-
ton. In view Of the enormous and ever growing
extension of ecclesiastical trade and industry
and Of the clamor Of the defeated lay competition
the Government has determined TO yield to the
popular demand and put stop 10 the immunity
from customs and internal revenue dues hither-

manufacturers. This decision on the part OF
the Cabinet together with the projected econO-

THE WOMAN IN WHITE.
By WALTER WELLNAN

For Tie second time in his life Jas
per Ward was unhappy. Jasper WAS a
locomotive engineer on the Burlington
road, and had trod the footboard of an
engine us fireman and driver since his.
mu,tache first grew on his STRIPPING chin
| His career had been one of such even
ness and cal IN, so much quiet life within
himself, such absence Of incident or ac-
cilent, that his steady temper had been
rarely stirred by Joy or sorrow. His first
grief had come to him ten years ago or
more before, when his wife died sudden
ly while he was away on his engine.
He had never married again, nor
seemed to care much for society or COM
pany or anybody or anything saving on
ly his sou Jack, and, of course, his en-
CINE, for which he had half dozen pet
names. Jack wanted to be a locomotive
engineer like his father, and often COAX
ed to be taken out to learn to fire but
Jasper would not listen to this. "Go
to school, boy he said, land learn to be
something IN the world. An engineer
isn't much" Yet if anybody else had
saiu this, which nobody would in Jasper
Wards presence least nobody who
! knew him-Jasper would have been
very much grieved. He was proud Of
his calling; proud Of his record on the
foot board. Thirty years had he stood
there, and in all that time not one acci-
dent more serious than the fracture of
connecting rod piston bar had occurred
to him. Not one life intrusted tc his
care had been lost, nor even jeopardized &.
For twenty years Jasper had run the
same train, an accommodation, and all
the people up and down that division Of
the line knew Jasper Ward and his To-
comotiye as well as they did their own
door yards. His face at the engine win
dow was so familiar that to miss it for a
day or two was to take something out Of
the daily life OF the peorlc who dwelt
near the tracks.
But now Jasper was unhappy when
he should have been most content, for
he had finally relentcd and taken Jack
with him on the locomotive. His Old
fireman had been promoted toan engine,
and Jack had thereupon begged so hard
that his father finally applied to the
master mechanic for permission to take
the boy on and make an engineer of him.
1t was happy day for Jack when the

And since that dream has done me good,
hNd it lu' in rhyme,
Tia, other boys may read and sing,
My dream when they hayc time.
drrnmt drove my masters team
With Dobn. Ball and Star:
B fore Il stiff and handy plow,
| As all my masters are.
/ But f,u!.d the ground was baked so hard,
Twas more like brick than clay;
could not cut my trrows clean,
! Mr. would my beasts obey.
The more cuSscd, and lashcd and sworc,
The less my cattc slirrrd}
| Dobin laid down, and Ball and Star
Kicked and snortcd hard.
And 10, above me a bright youth
| Did seem to hang in air
! With purple wings,and painted wan,
AS angels painted are.
"Givc over cruc! wrctch' he cricd,
! "Nor thus thy beasts abuse"
Think if the ground was not 50 hard
Would they their work refuse?
Beside | heard thee curse and swear,
! As if dumb beasts could know,
What all thy oaths and curses meant
Or better for them go
1t said no more, but light as air
1t vanished from my SIGHT;
And with it went the suns bright beams,
And all was dark midnight.
! The thunder reared from under around:
The earth it seemed 10 cape:
Blue flames broke forth, and i'll those tlam,

"Soon shall call thee mine he cried,
With voice so dread and deep;
That trembling like an aspen leaf,

And 10! | found it but a dream,
1t left upon my mind,
That dread Of God: that fear OF SIN,
Which all should wish to find.
Now ponder well, We plough boys all,
The dream that have told;
And if il works such change in YOU,
lis worth its weight in cold.
For should YOU think it false or true
1t matter, not u pin,
If You but deeds Of mercy show,
Aud keep your souls from sin.
