The New Church Doctrine.

There's come singular doctrine, Sue,
Into our church to-day;
These GURUS words are what the new,
Young preacher had to say
That literal everlastin' fire
Was mostly in our eyes;
That sinners dead, If they desire,
Can get another try;
He doubted II warmer cline
Than this world could be proved;
The little snip-I fear some time
He'll get his doubts removed.
I've watched my duty straight an true,
An tried to do It well;
Part of the time kept heaven in view,
An part steered clear o hell;
And now half of this work is naught,
If ] must list to him,
An this ere devil have fought
Was only just within,
Vain are the dangers have braved,
The sacrifice they cost;
For what fun is it to be saved,
If no one else is lost?
Just think! Suppose, when once view
The heaven I've toiled to win,
A lot of unsaved sinners, too,
Come walkin' grandly in
An acts to home, same as IL they
Had read their titles clear,
An looks at me as If to say,
We're glad to see you here"
As If to say While you have ben
So fast to toe the mark
We waited till 1t rained an then
Got tickets for the ark"
Yet there would be some in the crowd
I'd rather like to see
My boy Jack-it must be allowed,
There were no worse than he
I've always felt somewhat to blame,
In several different ways,
That he lay down on thorns O shame
To end his boyhood's days;
An I'd be wilin to endure.
If that the Lord thought best.
A minutes quite hot temperature
To clasp him to my breast.
Old Captain Barns was evils SON
With heterodoxy crammed;
l used to think he'd be the one
If any one was damned;
still when saw lot o poor.
That he had clothed and fed,
Cry desolately round his door
As soon as he was dead,
There came thought couldn't control,
That in some neutral land,
I'd like to meet that scorched-up soul
An shake it by the hand.
Poor Jennie Willis with a cry
OF hopeless, sad distress,
sank sudden down one night to die,
All in her ballroom dress
She had precious little while
To pack up an away;
She even left her sweet, good smile
Twas on the face next day,
Her soul went up unclothed by even
One stitch of saving grace;
How could she hope to &c to heaven
An start from such place?
But once when sick an weak,
She came an begged to stay
She kissed my faded, wrinkled cheek
She soothed my pain away;
She brought me sweet bouquets of flowers
AS fresh as her young heart
Through many long and tedious hours
She played Christian part;
An ere long will stand aroun'
The singing saints among,
I'll try to take some water down
To cool poor Jennies tongue.
But tears can never quench my creed
Nor smooth Gods righteous frown
Though all the preachers learn to read
Their Bibles upside down,
hold mine right side up with care
To shield my eyes from SIM
An coax the Lord, with daily prayer,
To call poor wanderers in;
But if the sinners won't draw nigh,
An take salvation's plan,
I'll have to stand an see 'em try
To dodge hell, if they can. -WW CdrletC

ASKING FOR MORE.

The Grand Army people are determined
no stone shall be LEFT unturned in the effort
10 secure the passage of service pension
by the new Congress. The several posts
have been passing resolutions demanding
"a service pension in monthly amounts equal
provided that no pensioner shall receive less
than eight dollars per month, and in case Of
discharge for disability the soldier shall be
credited with his full term of enlistment"
The department of Ohio in its annual con-
vention adopted similar resolutions, with
the preface that the Grand Army has mot
requested, much less demanded, what was
most solemnly promised thousand times
over by those in authority" Gen. Ruther.
ford B. Hayes signed the report recommend
ing the passage Of the resolutions and re-
ferring them to the coming national en-:
campment :or its earnest consideration.
Possibly Gen. Hayes and his comrades of
the department of Ohio were not aware that
the measure they ask at the hands of Con-
gress has already been condemned by the
best meI of the country as "both injurious
TO the moral sense of the people and op.
posed To wise policy" and that to greatly
increase the large sum already used an
nually in pensions by giving one to every
man who was in the service, whether he
needed or deserved it or not, would be carry
ing our already generous pension policy to
the limits Of extravagance" How do the
comrades of the Grand Army expect to over
come this opposition?

TAKE THE MEDICINE.

Yrhe New York Tribune is in deep dis
II yfess because the Republican collector Of the
tort Of Kew York is prevented from &C,
commodating six hundred or more Repub
licans, eager for office, by civil service rule
which requires all vacancies to be filled by
promotion. 1t is disgusted beyond measure
because Collector Erhardt cannot turn every
Democrat out forthwith.
The term Of Stephen B. French, a Repub-
lican, as Police Commissioner will soon ex.
pire and Mayor Grant, Democrat, will
appoint his issuccessor. The Tribune begs the
Mayor not 10 appoint Democrat to sue
coed Republican. 1t admits that "his legal
right to do this cannot be questioned" but
it whines "it would be gross breach ol
political morals of which the Mayor cannot
afford to be guilty"

Protection Democrat.

The term Protection Democrat" there.
fore, is a contradictory term. A man had
as well be called a Republican Democrat,
for it means the same thing. The talk
among a certain class of people and news
papers of electing Protection Democrat"
as Chairman of the National Democratic
Committee is simply absurd. II would be
in effect electing Republican to manage
the Democratic campaign.
Suppose, by the manoeuvering Of such a
committee, "Protection Democrat should
be nominated for the Presidency, there would
be two Republican candidates, with one of
them calling himself a Democrat. The great
Democratic masses would not feel like tax
ing the trouble to go to the polls TO vote. II
would be worse than the Greeley campaign.
For why should any one concern himself
about chosing between two men, both run

is no personal matter ?-Hd9erstOpn MaR.

The old form of death sentence, ito be
hanged BY the neck until dead" between
designated hours upon certain day, has
necessarily been changed in New York
State by the substitution Of electricity for
the rope. The first sentence under the new
order Of things was pronounced at Buffalo,
on the 14th instant, and William Kenirm-
ler, convicted of killing Tilie Zeigler, was
condemned to "suffer the punishment of
death, to be inflicted by the application of
electricity, within the week beginning Mon
day, June Gath" The doomed man is not
supposed TO be apprised of the day or hour
of his taking off, and the public mind will
not be agitated by exciting gallows scenes.
This is indeed u revolution in society's mode
of retaliation. 1t may also be said that the
present age is one of invention and devel-
opment The evolution of egotsm, the
rushing in of fools where angels fear to
tread, and the willingness of gifted mortals
to know it all and manage it all, are con
stant sources of edification and instruction.

THE CHINESE CA NNOT COME.

The Supreme Court of the United States
has made an important decision in the case
of Chinaman who was refused admission
to this country under the Chinese exclusion
act The counsel for the excluded China
man contended that the rights conferred on
him by treaty could not be abrogate ed by a
law Of Congress and that the Chinese exclu-
sion act was unconstitutional as being in
conflict with the treaty and also in its spe-
cially singing out one nationality for ex-
clusion. The Supreme Court holds that
Congress has power to abrogate treaty and
it also has power to exclude any people
who, in its opinion, would form an unde-
sirable element Of population.
The decision is important in regard to
both points. One of the strongest argu-
ments against the Scott Chinese exclusion
act was that 1t conficted with treaty no
notice of the abrogation of which had been
given the other party to it. 1t was there
fore claimed to be both unfriendly and un-
constitutional The Court decides the plea OF
nconstitutionality untenable and the pre-
cedent Of the Chinese exclusion act may
therefore be followed at any time when Con-
gress is dissatisfied with treaty.
The decision that Congress has right to
exclude any people whom it considers un-
desirable as residents, will make the way
easy for such legislation as has been re-
peatedly urged from various quarters to re-
strict immigration and to bar out altogether
certain classes, races or natiOnalities.
The Chinese question, opened fifteen years
ago by Kearney, thus reaches its second
stage. America thus begins the second
epoch of existence The house warming is
over. Neighbors are now to wait for further
courtesies, and it is ascertained that the
acquaintance Of the Celestials has been
chopped altogether
The student of history notices that the
morals OF nations must ever lag behind the
morals of private life. A nation of gener
Gus men must often collectively assume {
department which in one man would clearly
be detestable. There must have been goot
men in England when the trade laws o
1776 were clapped upon the colonies. AL
Englishman would not treat his next dOol
neigh5or as England treated her settlements
When, then, will men progress to that stage
of development when the truth for one mar
is truth for all-when justice between in
dividuals is justice between Republics.
