bones became fastened in his throat and
then there was time, and 1t was very
serious one for a few moments. By the
united efforts of a number Of neighbors,

There are some things which harrow
up tho soul more than others. One OF
these is, when in the midst of trouble
caused from the loss of relative or
friend, when the heart is bowed down
with weight of woe, your receive through
the mails, something like the following:
"DEAR Sustaining that death has
removed from your midst beloved one,
and feeling that in your bereavement you
would appreciate out of our cabinet
souvenirs, we take the liberty of mailing
you the enclosed sample for inspection.
We send you the souveair in the hope
that it may meet with your kind indul-
gence, and should you decide to keep IL,
the price 10 25 cents" Or the following:
''To the relatives of the deceased lit has
been for number Of years in Europe,
and lately has become in many parts Of
the United States, beautiful custom,
upon the death of dear friend or rela-
tive, to prepare a suitably inscribed me-
mortal card of the deceased, which, kept
In the family album or neatly framed, be-
comes not only token of respect to the
memory of the departed one, but is a con-
tinual reminder Of one who in life was
near aud dear to u.s." and lot more OF
such endearing and tender taffy. The
souvenir is black card embellished with
great many gilt scrolls, Bible, doves
and verse or two of Child's celebrated
poetry, a large lot of which is sent along
to select from.
There may be some people who can find
relief In such trifles, but to sensitive
person, one who has by the loss of dear
one, been crushed and sorrow laden, such
things are shocking and disgusting, and
the senders ought 10 be prosecuted as dis.
turbers OF the peace.

In one of the large maple trees in
front of the residence of Mr.: James s.
Studdiford, on Union street, there is o
nest of ''fickers' or ''high.holders, as
they are sometimes called. and they have
caused considerable excitement among
the small boys as well as those of larger
growth. 1t is seldom that this vigilent
bird seeks the publicity of city to raise
a family of young ones. In this instance
the parents have done well. as any move
on the part of nest robbers would be
met with swift retribution on the part
of Mr.. Studdiford's family.

On Sunday evening, about Z 80
o'clock, an excitement was caused on
South Main street by runaway horse
attached to carriage, which came in
contact with tree 10 front of Mrs. Nc
Namara's, on the corner of Main and
Swan SITS. The occupants, Mr.. Henry DBL
Jr., of Newark, and lady friend, were
thrown out and badly bruised, the lady
particularly SO. The carriage was dam
aged to the extent of twenty five or thirty
dollars. The horse escaped uninjured.
From the fact that the horse started at
the top of Cottage Hill and came down it
at full run, 1t is miracle that both
we're not killed. A physician was called
10, who rendered medical aid aud the lady
was able to be removed about 10 p. NJ.
from Mrs. McNamara's residence, where
she had been kindly cared for by that
lady and her kind neighbors.

the water, was down on Monday to the
canal feeder with his thermometer. The
temperature was then 100, 70 warmer
than it was on Sunday. Mr.. Smith says
that 76o is the temperature maintained at

water is too cold, warm water is put in,
and when too hot cold water is added,
thus keeping the temperature at one
point all the time.

Two special officers from Trenton
were here yesterday afternoon to look for
two small dogs or pups that had been
stolen from William HALEY, on Saturday
night. One of them was recovered from
party who had purchased it from the
thief or thieves. The officers are on the
track Of the guilty parties and arrests will
follow.
What delightful place is that at the
corner of Main and Jefferson streets-the
property Of DIR. Geo. H. Larison-for an
evening tea party. for a benefit of some
kind. Under the arching pines, amid the
pale lights one could enjoy an evening of
pleasure, especially If beside him sat some
fair one whose conversation should be on
a tender subject that poets dream and
write of.

Lincoln,s Rt,IgIon.

The forthcoming (August) number Of
the Century will contain a chapter on
"Lincoln and the Churches" in the
Lincoln History, by Messrs. Hay and
Nicolay, from which the following is an
extract from advance sheets.
Hewas a man Of profound and intense
religious feeling. We have no purpose
Of attempting to formulate his creed I;
We question whether he, himself ever
did 90. There have been swift witnesses
who, judging from expressions uttered
In his callow youth, have called him an
atheist, and others who, with the most
laudable intentions, have remembered
Improbable conversations which they
bring forward to prove at once his ortho.
doxy and their own intimacy with him.
But leaving aside these apocryphal evil
dences, we have only to look at his
authentic public and private utterances
to see how deep and strong in all the
latter part Of his life was the current Of
his religious thought and emotion. He
continually invited and appreciated, at
their highest value, the prayers of good
people. The pressure of the tremendous
problems by which he was surrounded |;
the awful moral significance of the con.
flict in which he was chief combatant |;
the overwhelming sense Of personal re-.
sponsibility, which never left him an
ihour--all contributed to produce, in q
temperament naturally serious and pre-.
disposed to spiritual view Of life and
conduct, sense of reverent acceptance
of the guidance OF q Superior Power.
From that morning when, standing amid
the falling snowflaks on the railway car
at Springfield, he asked the prayers OF
his neighbors in those touching phrases
whose echo rose that night in invocations
from thousands of family alters, to that
memorable hour when on the steps of the
Capitol he humbled himself before his
Creator in the sublime words of the
second inaugural, there is not an express.
ion known to have come from his lips
or his pen but proves that he held him.
self answerable in every act of his career
to more august tribunal than any on
earth. The fact that he was not a
communicate of any church, that he
was singularly reserved in regard to his
personal religious life, gives only the
greater force to these striking OF his
profound reverence and faith.

William Dean Howells, in the Ed;tor'i
Study Of Harper's Magesins for August,
will say that ''the Word as q rule of life
has never yet governed the world that
calls itself Christian; but at last men
are longing to embody it in their social
and political ideals, with an impulse that
antimates every humane thinker,
whether he calls himself Christian or
not. N
One may refuse to recognize this i'm
pulse one may deny that it is in any
greater degree shaping life than ever be-
fore, but no one who has the current of
literature under his eye can fail to note
it there. People are thinking and feel
ing generously, if not living justly, in
our time it is day of anxiety to be
saved from the curse that is on selfish
ness, of eager question how others shall
be helped, of bold denial that the con-
ditions in which we would fain have
are sacred or immutable, Especially in
America, where the race has gained q
height never reached before, the emil
nence enables more men than ever be-
foreto see how even here vast masses of
men are sunk in misery that must grow
every day more hopeless, or embroiled
q struggle for mere life that must end In
in enslaving and i'm bruting them. 904

In Memoriam.

( Benjamin Mackerleywas born In Morris
county, New Jersey, May /. 1893. tie

to Ohio IN 1916 and settled with the fam.
on o farm some three miles south OF
Greenfield, where he grew to manhood
His brother, Michael Mack kerley, ST., OF
South Salem, is the only survivor of that
family. Benjamin was married to Mar
garet NJ. Wells at her brothers house,
now known as the r. r. Seymore place,
near Bainbridge, on March Z. 1927. Mrs.
Mackerley died at the farm near Indian
Ford Of Paint creek, where they had
lived for many years, on September q,
1873. Four sons were born to them

The deceased departed this life July 8,

Benj.min Mackerley was q man OF

Style.

There must be workmanship as we'll
as design. The way thing is done can
kill it or give 1t life. The touch of Gel.
lima makes the precious metal hundred
fold more precious. We do demand
ideas from an author; but If he does
not know, or does not care to know,
how to express them, he might as well
not have them, and had better set up as
a reviewer. It is easier business to
disparage literature than to produce it;
easier to undervalue style than to
acquire it. However, that indefnable
distinction which we call stylc is quite
capable OF taking care of itself. A page
of prose or verse without this quality is
like man without good manners: he
may be person of excellent intentions,
but he is not desirable company and
ultimately finds himself dropped.
A notable thing in every work-poem,
history, or novel-that has survived its
own period is perfection of form. It is
that which has kept it. 1t is the amber
that preserves the fly. Ihave no doubt
that thousands of noble conceptions
have been lost to US because of the in
adequacy of their literary form. Ger.
tam it is that many thoughts and fan.
cies, of no great value in themselves,
have been made imperishable by the
faultlessness of their setting. For ex-
ample Richard Lovelace-whose felici-
ties by the way, were purely accidental
had said to Lucasta "Lucasta, my
girl, could MT think half 30 much OF
you as do If ! didn't feel it my duty
to'enlist for the war. Doyou catch on?''
1t Richard Loveiace, I repeat, had put
it in that fashion, his commendable
sentiment would have been forgotten in
fifteen minutes but when he said
II could not love thee. dear. 20 much
Loved mot honor more
he gave to England a lyric that shall
last longer than the Thames Embank.
ment. The difference in the style OF
these two addresses to Lucasta illustrates
just the difference there is between lit
erature and that formless commonplace
which certain OF our critics suppose to
be Life.-JWly Atlantic.
