ROMANCE IN JOURNALISM.

A new novel bearing the title "a Ro-
nance in Journalism" is announced
among the books of the season. The
author, George Meredith, is an English
man, and, from certain ~peculiarities in
earlier novels, may be presumed to have
had some personal experience in the
journalistic profession; but this expert
ence was assuredly unique if he found
in it. He may have touched,
and doubtless did, upon romance in
lives outside the ranks of his profess
sional associates. All the materials for
the coinage of high-flown, imaginative
and even poetic tales may have pre-
sented themselves to his hand, and so
saved him the effort of invention, had he
cared to weave it into fiction. But in
the life of the modern newspaper worker
there is little room for romance, for the
dreaming of dreams. for indulgence in
fancies, for beholding visions of
ideal life, for building a~ir-castles
peopled with kpights-errant and
mythical ladies fair. Were there room
the inclination would not exist, save,
perhaps, in the early days of his service.
The young man who enters the news
paper profession is often gifted with a
lively fancy, and cherishes the idea that
through this door he passes into a field
where his ardent soul can stretch its

THE FoOL-SYMPATHIZER.

That the Maybrick poisoning case, In
its worldwide interest, has not been de-
'ficient in one element that almost invari-
ably attends the sensational Grim
inal trial in America. is nationally
comforting and reassuring. That the
fool-sympathizer is as indefatigably
tagging the heels of English justice as
ut has been industriously attendant upon
American courts, rehabilitates the Ma
ton in it's self-esteem. With the meth
DDS of this gross and monstrous form of
humanity in this country a reading
world is but too familiar. 1t has been,
IN the main, feminine in sex, and I'M

case, while 1OO,O 600 reasonable sympa-
thizers expressed, in pen-and-ink sigma

many offers of marriage have been laid
at her feet, and that, if she escape the

RELIGIOUS DOCUMENTS BY LINCOLN


Expressions of Thought Showing His Faith in
an Overriding Providence.
August Century.
We subjoin two papers from the hand of
the President, one official and the other
private, which bear within themselves the
Imprint of a sincere devotion and a stead
fast reliance upon the power and benignity
OF an overruling Providence. The first Is
an order which he issued on the 10Th of No
vember, 1864. on the observance of Sunday:
The President, commander-in-chie of the army
and navy, desires and enjoins the orderly observ-
ance of the Sabbath by the officers and men In
the military and naval service. The Importance
the sacred rights of Christian soldiers and sail
ors, q becoming Difference 70 the best sentiment
of Christian people, and q due regard for the
Divine will, demand that Sunday labor In the
army and navy be reduced to the measure OF
strict necessity. The discipline and character
OF the national forces should not suffer, nor the
cause they defend be imperiled, by the %profana-
ton of the day or name of the Most High. AT
this time of public distress adopting the words
do in the service of their God and their country
without abandoning Themselves TO vice and i'm
morality" The first general order issued by the
Father of bis Country after the Declaration OF
independence indicated the spirit I'm which our
institutions were founded and should ever be de-
Tended. 1.-The General hopes and trusts that every
becomes a Christian soldier. defending the dear
est rights and liberties OF his country"
The date of this remarkable order leaves
no possibility for the i~psinuation that it
sprung from any political purpose or inten-
ton. Mr.. Lincoln had just been reelected
by an overwhelming majority; his party
was everywhere triumphant; his own per-
sonal popularity was ~unbounded: there
was no temptation to hypocrisy or deceit.
There is no explanation of the order except
that il was the offspring Of sincere %conyic-
ton. But if it may be said that this was,
after all, an exoterlc utterance. springing
from those relations of religion and good
government which the wisest rulers have
always recognized in their intercourse with
the people, we will give one other docu-
said. 1t il q paper which Mr.. Lincoln

wrote in September, 1862. while his mind
was burdened with the weightiest question
OF his life. the weightiest with which this
century, has had TO grapple. Wearied
with all the considerations of law and
of ~expediency with which he had been
struggling for two years, he retired within
himself and tried to bring some order into
his thoughts by rising above the w~rangling
of men and of parties, and bordering the
relations OF human government to the Di-
vine. In this frame of mind. absolutely de-
tached from any earthly considerations, he
wrote this meditation. 1t has never been
published. 1t was not written to be seen
of men. 1t was penned in the awful sin.
cerity of a perfectly honest soul trying to
bring itself into closer communion with its
Maker.
The will of God prevails. In great contests
each party claims to act in accordance with the
Will of God. Both may be and one must no
wrong. God cannot be for and against the same
thing at the same time In the present civil war
II is quite possible that Gods purpose is some
thing different from the purpose Of either party:
and yet the human INSTRUMENTATION, working
just as they do. are OF the best adaptation To eff
feet His purpose. o. almost ready TO say that

and wills that IL shall not end yet. BY His mere

ants, He could have either saved or destroyed
the Union without a human contest Yet the
contest began. And having begun. He could give
the final victory to either side any day. Yet the
contest proceeds.

MISPLACED HUMANITARIANIsM

The New York Tribune is responsible
flor the statement that Western papers
are reverberating with a story that Sarah
fBernhardt recently, in a fit of anger,
thrust her pet dog into a stove and
burned it up. That these alleged rever-
berations could not have had any per-
-ceptible length, breadth or thickness is
deducible from the fact that Indiana has
not, up to date, chronicled the reception
of any such news-wave, except as thus,
at second hand, from the Tribune. Fur
ther interest is woven about the tale by
the additional particulars that the Mis-
souri, Humane Society, Immediately upon
reading the shocking tale, ordered reso-
buttons drafted upon the subject and for
warded to the distinguished actress,
de~nouncing her in toto, informing her
that she was a barbarian and a mean
thing, and assuring her that she would
hereafter be coldly received in all civil
lied countries. Just how the great his
trionic Bernhardt received the Missouri
Humane Society's scornful anathema. and
gust what reply, if any, she conveyed to
that august body, the Tribune, with
commendable abstraction, neglects to
mention; but the impression is left upon
the public mind that the divine Sarah
was appropriately wilted, and that the
Missouri humanitarians entered them
selves iii their books as coming out at
least three lengths ahead. That there
may have been extenuating circum-
stances on the actresses side of the story,
the chronicler maliciously omits to sug-
gest; but all liberal people will admit
that there are conditions under which
certain varieties of pet dog could
be cremated with laudable propri-
ETY.. Among these exceptions may be
mentioned other peoples pet dogs, the

From first to last the newspaper man
deals with the prosaic and the practical
in life. He comes in contact with all
classes and conditions of men, but he
sees them as they are, and with no
glamour of imagination Disgusting them.
He discovers their selfishness, their van
tiles, their ambitions. He becomes ac-
quainted with their weaknesses, their
follies, and, not seldom, the sins of which
the world does not dream. He en-
counters the better qualities of the
humankind, it is true; but it
is the natural man that is pre-
scented to his view, and the
natural man is a destroyer of
illusions. If he knew him but through
books, from the standpoint of the
preacher or the writer Of tales, or from
the many positions that afford the indi-
vidual a shield to hide his true self. he
might still cherish his ideals and enjoy
