The Pay of the Clergy.

The Methodist clergymen of the country are complaining of the small compensation they receive, and, apparently, with good reason, If, as IS said III some cases, they reach scarcely over a hundred dollars year. These are In the Instances of elderly men, but that makes the hardship still worse There is no class of men, says the Boston Herald, so poorly paid as are the country clergymen of the Protestant de nominations of America, and no men are SO little at liberty to better themselves by per sonal efforts outside their profession. It is U reproach to that active Christianity which has assumed to sustain our churches.

CHAPTER XXIV.


 A glorious morning; the air crisp and clear; calm, blue sky, with all occasional white, airy cloud floating high and quietly, us if no storm had ever entered within it's realm, and a bright, smooth sea.
 Such is the loveliness of the autumn day that our voyage came to a close, and the Lady Clare hove i'll sight of New England's blessed shores. America Oh for our delight ed vision. We came on deck to congratulate one another on the safe and altogether happy transit, to cheer up and be glad, as only homecoming souls are.
 Some one says: "Sing Home, Sweet Home,'" and forthwith we find ourselves re- solved into Q blending of song and chorus concert. Poor Howard Payne! He per. haps never felt as we do; certainly not when he wrote his memorable verses which we so gladly sing. No; but we can not afford to be sorrowfully inclined today simply because he was unfortunate. It grates little on sympathetic chord some where in our makeup to say this, yet it is true.
 We put a newer, sweeter pulse into the music; we are all glad to get home, espec ially are we glad that 1t is an American home, and there is no inclination even to sigh, unless it be from sheer satisfaction.
 It's all very well to talk of the pleasures of an ''ocean trip'' and the grandeur of the voyage, but we found it monotonous enough aftor the first day out. Perhaps for young persons given to being very sentimental or inclined to Irritation, the hours between shores may slip off "satin shod," but to those having too much practical sense for either the one or the other, should say | time drags.
 Well, hero we are, and we glide into the waters of the bay, our own little Narragan sett. There are plenty of friends at the pier awaiting those on board, and again the handkerchiefs are waving, but this time in glad recognition and not fearful goodbye.
 But, as I said when started, have nc friends to bid me welcome only as a ''fellow citizen," as the politician says, and so come ashore alone. The Stanleys are met | by pretty turn out which whirls them away rapidly to their fine residence on Blocker avenue. Here goes clustering l lot of staNSage passengers, strangers in 6 strange land, by the look of them. Finally here go, a very eager woman, with multi tudinous bits and sizes of luggage. sigma a cabby, and after few minutes of "boss ing around" am tearing away, too, toward l home.
 l The dead leaves drift, the aster peeps out from the sheltered hooks by the roadside and the half-naked hills come to sight as the city recedes. Yes, the dear, familiar hills at whose feet nestles Bay View cottage. A ] turn ln the road, we pass a stone wall anC come to cold, bare-looking hedge, anG there just beyond lies the dearest little spo on earth to my heart There is the cottage "Half in light aud half in shade," as tho poet 1ennyson says. can never bring my self to say "Lo,d Tennyson." Shades o the vine! No A,s wreath of deathlesg rose! and lilies and laurel didn't need the tinse and pomp of Eye Lord," not to my Amcri canized way of thinking.

OF MIGRATION PASS. purple clusters hanging invitingly along the rafters of a broken-down trellis belong ing thereto.
 In the front pretty, Well-kept garden, where, doubtless, in summer the display of old-fashioned flowers was something novel for an American to behold. But in the rem nant of its former glory took but little satisfaction, although the display of great clumps of thrifty marigolds and crimson beds of late geraniums made it warm, rich-looking picture.
 But the best part of tho visit there to re- member, to my mind, was the warm wei come we received from the matronly look ing English lady in charge.
 "So glad to have you come," she said, smoothing out her apron of blue and white checked linen and handing us each a chair while she talked.
 In five minutes time felt perfectly ''at home" at Spring Brook, so named from clear, gushing fountain bubbling down over messy powders near the house.
 "Hi ham so very busy hin the kitchen, ladies, hand if you wouldn't mind toto sit with me there, why, Hi could visit with you to much better hadvantage," she | said, after a little, with bridle of her head and sort of apologizing smile. Certainly we would sit with her there, | and forthwith we sat and enjoyed her so- ciability while she baked and finished to Q turn her bread and a couple of spring chickens meant for us. She kept no help, so she found it necessary to be at the helm, company or no company. And such 6 bright, genial hostess one hardly ever meets as did the honors of Spring Brool | farm.
 | And now, how pleasant the recollection of those sunny hours chatted away beneath the weather-beaten gables of the pleasant deep-windowed kitchen. can almost sec myself rocking softly to ard fro in the old fashioned rush-bottom rocker, and listening to Mrs. Grey's kindly voice, or fancy my self cuddled up in the deep chintz-coverea ea armchair by the window, watching he, busy with her work
 But that is, too, among the past, and the twilight settling over the downs over thero and the dark, restless waters beyond, re mind me that 1t is evening once more in th; suburban Hastings. 0''@~ '''>''

The New York Times is northern paper.
1t does not understand the condition OF
the South nor the intentions u the Re
publican leaders. In its happy condition
it makes to tho Democrats of the House OF
Representatives q suggestion which IL SIM
plicity itself. II says:
$50 far IA the changes in the rules are
cOncerned-i. e., such changes ne shall give
the minority the power 20 secure adequate
debate, and shall then leave TO the malori-
" the power TO carry out such measures
as they may be able TO agree upon-we
have already pointed out that the most
sensible. prudent, and consistent course
for the minority IS to cooperate IN such
changes"
That is 10 say the Democrats ought TO
help the Republicans to tie them hand and
foot though the DOmOcratsmust then wait
until some good genius comes along 20 I'M
tie them. To follow the Times'S advice
would be treason to the Democratic party
treason to the South-nay, treason to the
whole Union.
II il evident that the object of changing
the rules, or of refusing TO roadopt the old
rules. is 10 enable the Republicans to IN
seat Democrats at Will. II they can secure
a working majority Of one in the House Of
Representatives to start with, and thus
gain strength enough to carry out their
grand scheme, they viii exptl Democratic
members until they secure a majority so
large that they can command a working
majority at any time The nail will be
clnched 10y the enactment of national
elcction-law, under the operation Of which
not Democrat will be elected to Congress
in any State whose negro population ex-
ceeds its white population.
And the Times asks the Democrats to
cooperate in such charges" Sharpen the
knife that is to cut your throat. Hand the
key of the dungeon to a man who You
know desires TO keep you in durance vile.
Load the gun that is TO blow your head off.
II the Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatives shall prove to be such simple
tons rs the Times takes them 70 be, they
will have earned the excavations Of all good
men and written themselves down as monu-
mental fools

10 take charge Of our elections and render
il impossible for the country ever again to
elect Democratic President OF the United
States. IL in 1870 the national Governments
had had charge Of the elections in South
Carolina and Louisiana those States would
have been counted for HAYES without a
contest and their Legislatures and State
officers would have consisted of nothing
but scalawags, carpet-baggers, and ne
groes. MAHoNR's allies do not intend TO
lose another opportunity TO convert tho
South into a sa.rapy. They propose to
have in operation in 1892 such electioneer-
ing machinery "a will make it simply JIM
possible for the real people of Tho
southern States TO express their Will
at the ballot-box. MALONE is not too
good TO favor this abominable scheme.
The man who invited Burrows and
FORAKER and SHERMAN and other men
like them to come to Virginia and advocate
his cause--who thus asked friends Of mixed
schools 10 help him--who proposed TO con-
hscete all the railroads in Virginia--who
tried 10 establish q personal newspaper
organ at the public expcnse-who en-
deavored to take charge Of the tobacco
trade--who attempted 10 pass law pro-
viding for the publication of all court or
ders, land sales made under judicial de-
crees, &c. &C., in his party papers-who
intended to have commissioner of such
sales in each city and county--we say the
man who was unpatriotic andsclfsh enough
thus to subordinate all the interests Of tbs
public TO his unholy ambition. his thirst
for power, and his love of money is ready
to join hands with JOIN SHERMAN in pass
ing q national election-law.

A Scathing Article.

Governor CAMEGoS's pen was dipped in
gall when he wrote his letter Of last week
concerning MALONE; but even his indict-
ment of MALONE is exceeded in bitterness
by one drawn mp by the Boston Herald.
Read the following fine specimen of ill.,
yective:
That il an interesting suggestion made
bv MIR. Augustus Russ as 10 whether there
may not be a period III a party's history
when defeat Will be more salutary IN its
own interest than victory. II ever such q
period il reached. surely II has now been
reached in the State of Virginia. The con
dition Of affairs in that state. both II them
selves and in their relation to the nation,
is as amazing as il il deplOrable. The de-
plorable feature attending IT is that man
who combines in himself and IN his pur-
pose 50 much that Is bad can control a
great party in one Of the dlstnctvcly his
| tOric States of the nation.
We talk about the danger of government
in the greater cities of the land and We
attribute abuses developed there TO the
| large influx of q foreign element not yet
accustomed TO the exercise of self-gOvern-
ment: but whatever may be the wrongs
done under these conditions there Is
nothing in il like the open av0wal of
! wrong aims and wrong purposes which Is
seen in this State of Virginia there Is no
man so shameless in his intention to incor-
pOrate them into the policy Of State as IS
the man who is the head and front Of this
assault unOn morality and sound prlncl-
Piles in government.
William Malone would do grievous wrong
il he disgraced one State alone. A grand
old State like Virginia given over to the
control of q mercenary and dishonest adj
- a "a If
patriot who remembers what the history
of Virginia has been. Ii IS worse when we
take into account the perniciOus example
set in its action and the disgrace brought
upon republican government itself by us
association. Ii IS worst of all when we see
great party lowering its standard TO
apologize for and express sympathy with
such proceedings as those under Mahone III
Virginia. We have had wrong-headed and
INSCRIPTIONS .partisans before, out we
never have had party that sympathlZed
with and gave It's support to that only
which was base and bad.
Malone has driven one after another
nearly every Republican of brains and
self-respect out of the organization in or
der to accomplish this purpose. A few of
these Republicans have parted with the
latter quality so far as to be bought back
again, and ii is TO the added shame OF the
national Administration that II has aided IN
the purchase; but the vast majority OF Ma
homes supporters are men who are either
ignorant or corrupt, or both. 1t u tins
which he has organized IN the name OF the
Republican party and with winch he pro-
poses TO win the election IN Virginia.
III there ever was an issue on which the
American people should rise up as one
man to defend honest government and
public dccency 1t Is this one.

MoNTASA.-The attempt of the Republi-
cans TO steal two United States senators in
Montana by stealing the Legislature from
the Democrats shows how far-reaching is
the scheme Of the party leaders to get con-
troll of both houses of Congress and pass a
law TO enable the Republicans to carry all
future elections. Two weeks ago the cleo
lions took place in Montana To-day we
are told that the Republicans have carried
the State, though for week or ten days it
has been considered certain here that the
Democrats had the Governor and the
Legislature. The Republicans first got the
representative in Congress; now the Legis-
lature, and thus two United States sena-
tors are bagged.

The Double Danger.

MAHoNE's schemes for perpetuating his
power as he developed them TO the public
when he had control of the General Assem-
bly, Of Virginia were so Objectionable that
St would be next to impossible to charac-
terize them in language too strong. They
have been so frequently described in these
columns that the public ought to be
familiar with them. Such schemes were
probably never conceived in the mind of
any man having a spark of patriotism. IL
YOU will examine into their nature and
study out their probable operation had
they become laws, you will find it difficult
TO imagine how the people Of Virginia could
ever have escaped from the clutches Of
8AHosE if he had not been baked in his
efforts to take charge of the entire gov
ernment OF Virginia and possession OF all
her people and their goods.
Bad n these State schemes were, how
ever, they were no worse than the national
scheme Of this year to have all the con-
rressional elections in the South put into
the hands OF Republican partisans of both
races. We might say his scheme because,
~ we have heretofore stated. there is rea-
son to believe that he had a hand in
framing the bill for that purpose which in
The last Congress JOHN SHERMAN (his friend
and ally) presented by request" More
over. the men whom he has brought TO
Virginia to work or make speeches for him
are all just about such IA Burrows, of
Michigan. the advocate Of mixed schools.
mixed assemblages in theatres, and mixed
crowds on railroad trains. This bill to pro-
vide for elections to be controlled from
Washington threatens the South with
more evils than she has had 10 endure
since the year 1876. when she was set free
by the election Of Mr.. TuDHs 10 the Office
of President of the United States. We
. say that the result Of the election of 1876
freed the southern people for although
hr. TILDss was not allowed TO take his
seat. yet the northern Republicans found
1t necessary TO agree TO restore the govern
ments OF South Carolina and Louisiana to
the real people of those States. The Re-
publicans thus wrote down their own con-
demnaiion and confessed their guilt when
they pretended 10 believe that HAYES car
ried those two States aud yet conceded
that at tho same election the same States
were carried by the Democrats 80 far rs
the Legislatures and the State officers were
concerned.
The South with tho aid Of the northern
Democrats broke her bonds ia 1876. and
hes ever since maintained her freedom,
