THE indispensable condition of
our success in the great work be-
fore US is mutual faith and fellow
ship. We must, as the Good Book
tells US, have fervent charity among
ourselves" We must be harmon
ial philosophers. We must remen-
ber that wherein we inpute bad
motives to another we confess them
in ourselves.
1t is not uncharitable to judge
an act as good or bad, but we should
be very slow to judge the actor
bad. Only by rising to the sublime
sense of our sacred sisterhood with
every woman that breathes, be she
good or bad, foreign or native,
bond or free, shall we find our
individual pettiness covered and
flooded out of sight by the most
inexorable force of all the universe,
and that is Love.
If / could have my wish for all of
US, it would be that in our measure
we might merit what was said of
that seraphic woman, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning. Here is an ideal
that we shall all delight to share:
persons were never her theme,
unless public characters we're un-
der discussion, or friends were to
be praised, which kind Office she
frequently took upon herself. One
never dreamed of frivolities in her
presence, and gossip felt itself out Of
place. Books and humanity, great
deeds, and, above all, politics, which
include all the grand questions of
the day. were foremost in her
thoughts, and therefore, oftenest on
her lips. I speak not of religion,
for with her everything was religion.
Her Christianity was not confined
to church and rubric; it meant
civilization"

The third Gospel meeting Of th

The third Gospel meeting Of tn
W. Z. 1. U. was held as usual il
Union Church last Sunday evening
The church was filled with large
appreciative audience. The exer
clses were opened by responsive
scripture reading, conducted by tn,
Vice President, Mrs. l. l. Lewis
who occupied the Presidents chair
and presided with graceful dignity
The choir rendered beautiful anc
appropriate music.
Miss Van Wormer favored the
audience with reading, in her usual
graceful style, poem by H. w
Longfellow. One of the most i'm.
pressive features of the programme
was the responsive reading by the
officers and members of the Union,
led by Mrs. Louisa Brodhead.
Rev. George Ritchie made brie1
and entertaining address replete
with little pleasantries which seem
ed to produce happy effect upon
the audience, for after extending an
invitation in behalf of the Union to
all to come forward and unite with
them, several responded and added
their names to the roll Of member.
ship. One more victory in the tenn
perance cause!
In response to an invitation from
the President, Mr.. F. K. Gillette
made a few remarks which were
listened to by an appreciative au-
dience. In speaking of the prone
ness of the brilliant and gifted to
fall victims to the wine-cup, Mr..
Gillette very touchingly and with
emotion, gave as an illustration of
that fact, where an instance had
come under his personal knowledge
of former resident of our little
town. One who in former days,
had been a social and political
leader; his eloquent voice was once
heard in the halls of legislation he
was surrounded by lovely wife
and dear children in happy lux
urious home; but, alas, the love for
drink outweighed all else. He
dritted far away from loved ones
and friends, and finally found him
self here, physical and mental
wreck-an outcast from that once
happy home. To-day he is wan
derer upon the face of the earth.
AT the conclusion of this impress
i've address Mr.. Gillette distributed
temperance leaflets among the au-
dience, which give accounts of sew
eral once wealthy and prominent
officials of our country who, ruined
by strong drink, are now inmates
of the poor house at Washington
City.
During the singing of hymn by
the choir a liberal collection was
taken up for the benefit of the Union.
The meeting was then closed by
singing the Temperance Doxology.

A Peculiar Case.

A peculiar case which is now before
the evil tribunal of the Seine. says a
Paris letter to the London Telegraph,
has brought into prominence a most eX-
traordinary scion and specimen of no.
bility who is IA genuine count by birth
and title, but has been by turns a cap
tain in the imperial guards, u police
man, n c|Ostermonger, IA croque-mort, or
Funeral mute" and, strangest of all, a
''vender of paternity" This last pro-
fession requires some explanation.
Some time ago the son Of n once famous
lady of the lyric sage, but whose pa
ternal parentage is a mystery OF the
past, fell in love with an attractive
young person of facile N and GUS
toms, who wanted HIM TO marry her,
knowing that his putative father had
settled a considerable fortune on him.
The young mans mother, of course,
vehemently objected to the match, and,
in order To defeat his maternal parent.
the son had recourse TO the count-ofti-
Ger = policeman -costermonger- croque-
mort, who, for IA mere tribe of fifty
francs, consented TO pass as the father
of the amorous sutton of the engaging
dansel with the facile The
count went to the mayors Office with
two witnesses to sign various docu-
mcnts, in which he agreed to sanction
the marriage OF his alleged son, bnt he
vas recognized by an old policeman.
The suspicious of tho authorities being
aroused, inquiries were made and the
trick was discovered.

LITERARY DOUBLES.
The London Globe on the Practice of
Writing by Proxy.

Referring to the article on actresses
which recently appeared in the North
American Review over the signature of
Mary Anderson, a writer in the London
Globe says:
Upon being brought to brook by the
inevitable interviewer, Miss Mary
Anderson gave IN explanation which
throws u useful light on the manne in
which articles are written for American
magazines. 1t appears she did not
actually compose the essay, she only
adumbratcd the ideas in conversation
with u Literary friend, who put them
irto shape for her. No doubt, she signed
the document. but she was in II hurry
she says, and had no time to read it
carefully. So that vas how she made
her debut in literature.
There is too much of this kind of
thing being done in America. Some
three or four months ago | had occasion
to ask M. Blondin about an article
which appeared over his signature in
a prominent American magazine, and
he declared that until then he had
never heard of it-that he never wrote
it, any one acquainted with his broken
English must know. Some prominent
Americans have a literary man attached
to their household las other people have
their grooms or buffers. At the pres
ent time there is pending an action in
the law courts, in which Mr.. James
Mclaughlin sues Mrs. Kelly, the widow
of the "Tammany King" for 5000, 600 in
round numbers, for literary work done.
This work appears to have been mainly
the composition of speeches which Mr..
Kelly delivered.
1t is indisputable that a certain
amount of ghost" work goes on even
in English literature; but il is oftener
found in connection with journalism
than literature. The double" writes
and his employer signs; but that is a
natural consequence OF the manner in
which work is nowadays crowded upon
any man with Il name. A story is re-
lated of one well-known novelist which,
let us hope, is exceptional. If told, as
he often is. that n certain move in
cluded among his works is poor, he
coolly answers that he never read it!
He signed it for the sake OF a poor fell
low who had just come up to town to
begin the struggle, and who thought if
he could get a distinguished mans
name attached to his novel he might
get some money for it.
Very likely he remembered the story
of the young minister who raised f2OO
by publishing a volume of m by
wv. S." In this case, however, there
was no deception; they were by Sir
Walter Scott, written by him when his
young friend was so shaken at the pros
pect of preaching before the Presby-
terry that he could not write his trial
sermons. So Scott kindly scrubbed
them of for him, and let his name be
employed to sell them afterwards. 1t
was one of those kindly things which
still attach people to the 'Shirra" with
something akin to personal love.

AN Old LETTER.
The First Announcement in New York
Of w. ii. Harrison's Death.

One of the men about New York who
is we'll known is John NJ. Guiteau, says
a dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
His name has brought him into no lit
tie notoricty. and has been Il great de-
triment to him in his profession of at
torney, although he is no relation what
ever of the assassin who made IN in
famous. Mr.. G%uiteau's abilities have
becn recognized among those who know
him as of the highest order. and his ma
ture is both strong and lovable. He is
a member of a number of clubs, but the
New York Yacht club sees him within
its portals more than any other. AS an
attorney he has charge OF the settle
ment of the Bogardus estate, which has
brought into his hands the document
printed below, which is believed to be
the first announcement that was
made in this city forty years ago
Of the death of General William
Henry Harrison, the grandfather Of
President-elect Harrison, who vas hen
president Of the United States. The
letter was sent to General Robert Bo-
gardus as the commander Of the New
York troops, and he was atterward
placed in charge of the funeral pageant.
The Endorsement on the back OF the
letter, which had no envelope, but was
sealed in the 'old-fashioncd manner
she US that the letter was sent to Baltl-
more To be mailed, where it was post
marked April S, and did not reach New
York until the following day, the 9th.
This slowness of communication, as well
rs the allusion in the letter to the fact
thai there were no Sunday papers,
gives II vivid glimpse OF that period.
There is II further view of the situation
politically in the reference TO what Mr..
Tyler was expected to do.
WASHlNGTON CITY, Sunday Morning,
April 4. lSil.-Dcar Sir: As-no papers
are published here to-day | take the lib
crty to inform you that General Har-
rison died this morning at 1880 o'clock.
Very few folks here know it, as almost
everybody thought he was getting bet
ter, and retired to bed thinking that in
the morning ne would be pronounced
out of danger. The cabinet has sent for
Mr.. Tyler to come IN here. There is
very little doubt but what he will carry
out Harrison's measures, as he will only
be acting in his place. | can assure you
that it will be a sorrowful day for this
city, as every one here thought him at
Washington. | remain yours, very re-
s%pectfully, w. II. ROBINSON.

There was a good run of cattle for Il Satur

market was rather slow at barely steady

strong buyers. However, between the pack
ers and shippers the bulk of the cattle
changed hands before the close. The ma
