 Important meeting of the American Section next Monday night at the Labor Lyceum.

LABOR LYCEUM,

Last weeks Friday evening lecture at the Labor Lyceum was one of the most interesting of the series, Lucien Saniel read a paper on the "Genesis of Re ligion," based upon reason and remark able for its purely scientific treatment of the subject. The lecture called forth three critics, two favorable to the de- ductions of the lecturer and one op- posed. The latter announced himself as believer in the existence of ''the only true God, namely that of his faith, and declared that Christianity should be judged by its results, among which he claimed modern civilization and modern morality. His remarks were mainly an assertion of belief.
 The Christian young man imputed un. worthy motives to the lecturer and those

FOR THE PEOPLE.
BY JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE.

We are the hewers and delivers who tuil for another's gain, The common clods and the rabble, stunted of brow and brain. What do we want, the gIeaners, of the harvest we have reaped? w hat do we want the neuters, of the honey we have heaped We want the drones to be driven away from our golden hoard; We want to share in the harveSt; we want to sit at the board; We want what sword or suffrage has never yet wen for man, The fruits of his tcil God promised when the curse of tOil began. Ye have tried the sword and sceptre, the cross and the sacred word, In all the years, and the kingdom is not yet here of the Lord. We are tired of useless waiting; we are tired of frultless prayers. Soldier and churchman and lawyer-the failure, is it not theirs? What gain is it to the people that God laid down his life, If twenty centuries after, his world be a world of strife? If the serried ranks be facing each other with ruthless eyes And steel in their hands, what profits Savior's sacrifice? Ye have tried and failed to rule us; in vain to direct have tried. Not wholly the fault of ruler; not utterly blind the guide; Mayhap there needs not a ruler; may hap we can find the way. At least ye have ruled to ruin; at least ye have led astray. What matter if king or consul or presi- dent holds the rein, If crime and poverty ever be links in the bOndman's chain: What careth the burden bearer that Liberty packed his load. If Hunger passes behind him with a sharp and ready goad? There's a serf whose chains are of paper there's a king with a parchment crown;
 There are robber knights and brigands in factory, field and town. But the vassal pays his tribute to lord of wage and rent; And the baron's toll is Shylock's with a flesh and blood per cent The seamstress bends to her labor all night in narrow room; The child, defrauded of childhood, tip toes all day at the loom; The soul must starve; for the body can barely on husks be fed; And the loaded dice of a gambler settles the price of bread. Ye have shorn and bound the Samson and robbed him of learning light; But his sluggish brain is moving; his sinews have all their might. Look well to your gates of Gaza, your privilege, pride and caste! The Giant is blind and thinking, and his locks are growing fast.
