All Reverence the Dead.

A day OF two ago o fruit peddler was
passing up Elizabeth street east, yelling
''ba-nan-oes" at the top Of his voice,
when he suddenly caught sight of the
Grape on a door which signifed that a
child lay dead in the house.
"Ba-nan-oes! Ba-nan-oes! Ba"-!
He checked his words as he saw the
Grape, removed his hat and placed it on
his cart, and he walked to the next
square bareheaded and silent.-Detroit

They drive home the COWS from the pasture
Up through the long shady lane,
Where tho quail whistles loud In the wheat field.
All yellow with ripening grain
They find, In the thick waving grassea,
Where the scarlet Tipped strawberry grows
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson buds Of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow,
They gather tho elder blooms white,
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft tinted October light
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy's wines;
They know where the fruit Ia the thickest
On tho long. thorny blackberry vines
They gather the delicate sea weeds,
And build tiny castles Of sand;
They pick up tho beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land.
They wave from tho toll. rocking tree tops,
Where tho ORIOLES hammock nest swinga
And at night time are folded in slumber
by O song that q fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely ore strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
And from those brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers Of state.

The noble and wise of our land:
Tho sword and chisel and palette
Shall be held In the little brown hand.

TWO OPINIONS CONSIDERED.

During the past week a Protestant
Clergyman i'm New York and another i'm
this city expressed very different senti-
ments regarding the influence and aims
of the Catholic Church. The New York
clergyman, Rev. Dr. Pottes expressed
himself in that panicky or sensational
style which takes to inflammatory sem
tences of four or FIVE words which is lit
tie better than hurting epithets and call
ing hard names. The Catholic Church
is the ''scarlet woman" and the beast"
of Revelations, and the great power of
evil and oppression which threatens, by
its dOgmas, its practices and its alarm
ing growth, the free institutions of this
Republic. AS sent out to the press, DR..
Potter did not express calm opinion or
afford an argument for thoughtful peo-
pie to consider. The other expression
was that of Rev. L. C. Evans, of the
Mayfiower Congregational Church, of
this city, on Thanksgiving day. AS re-
ported i'll the Journal, Mr. Evans said:
There are many things to be thankful for,
and one he would especially mention was
the growth and liberal spirit of the Catho-
lie Church in America The beneticent in
fiuence of the liberal institutions of the
United States was very marked in that
church. and all Christians, of every name,
could thank God for the growth and work
of the Catholics in America; not that Amer
leans indorse all their beliefs, but the
church is doing good work.
The above is q statement which many
intelligent and candid men who have.
been watching the tendency and growth
of the Catholic Church in this country
will approve. 1t is the expression of
the sentiment of the liberal and progress
i've clement in the United States, which
does not judge any church by what it
was in the dark ages, or what it may be
i'm other countries. but by its work, it's
influence, and its spirit in this country.
Every church or denomination must be
judged to-day not SO much by its writ
ten creeds as by its work and its influ-
encc. To appreciate its efforts to ele-
vate humanity, to make men and women
live good lives, and to lay the founda-
tions of public and social security, one
must judge every denomination by it's
work and the results of that work. No
man of impartial judgment can examine
the work of the Catholic clergy in Amer
lea during the last quarter of a century
without coming TO the conclusion that it
has been powerful factor for good.

churches every Sunday thousands of
people, and. in their way, teaching their

THE VALUE OF THR0NES.

The present is not the best period in
the history of the world to put thrones
upon the market, particularly on the
American continent. Dom Pedro, who
is a great man, has been compelled to
dispose of his in Brazil at a very good
price, because those who were deter
mined to have it as relic were gener-
ously disposed and made a most liberal
offer, which the aged Emperor was
shIewd enough to accept. If Dom Pc
dro had advertised for sealed proposals
or bids for his throne. with view of
disposing of it to the highest bidder who
could furnish q satisfactory bond to in
sure the payment of the sum offered, he
would not, i'm all probability, have re-
ceiyed bid. unless some millionaire in
the United States should be willing to
pay fancy price for title.
1t is reported that King Kalakaua,
who owns for the time being the small
sized throne of Hawaii, is anxious TO
dispose of his kingly fortune for SPOT
cash. 1t is said that he would like a
million dollars for it. but that figure has
been named probably with view to a
compromise with a sharp buyer at a
much less sum. 1t is small throne-a
very small one, and in somewhat di-

ABOUT this time of the year official re-
ports of the condition of the various de-
partments of the government are spread
before the people by the newspapers of
the country, and with as great regularity
the people decline to read them. 1t is
not indifference that causes this DISPOSE

is the confidence of the public that the
men it has put in charge of affairs are at
tending to their duties properly. If
anything were wrong, as shown by

scribe literally to the support of the
Catholic Church, said q Protestant
manufactures in an Eastern town, "be-
cause my employees are more sober and
reliable since priests have been among
them" 1t is well known that during
the railroad troubles of 1877 the high
prelates of the Catholic Church inter-
posed their power and restrained thou
sands in large cities who might have
been drawn into riOt0us mObs. They
collect thousands of orphans and waits
who would otherwise become public
charge and criminals, and care for
them, making them respectable men
and women.
But it is said hat the Catholic clergy
are hostile to the public-school system,
and only await an opportunity to destroy
it. To sustain this charge, the recent
articles of Bishop McQuaid and other
prelates are quoted. No excuse can be
made for such views. They are clearly
wrong; but those who insist that all
children in the public schools shall read
the Protestant version of the Bible are
not the ones to charge Bishop McQuaid
with intolerance OF dangerous sectarian-
ism. Next to the American flag, the
public school is enthrOned in the hearts
of the American people. and woe to
church or party that undertakes to de-
strOy it. They would be swept away in
the righteous wrath of patriotic people.
Let us remember that no church can
be judged to-day by its past history
Three centuries ago both Protestant
and Catholic churches were guilty of
acts of persecution and cruelty the re-
cital Of which shocks the sensibilities of
the enlightened people of the present age.
The religion of the dark ages was the
resultant of the thunders and light
nings of Sinai, and not Of the Sermon on
the Mount. Since that period the spirit
of the new dispensation proclaimed by
Jesus of Nazareth has infused itself
into church and people, bringing a civ
ilization which recognizes the rights of
conscience, the brotherhood of man, and
is the motive power which elevates and
purifies human society. The church of
to-day must be in accord with the pro-
gressive and liberal spirit of the age
