INSTRUCTION FROM COZ. SHEPARD.
Never Ride to Church-There Are No Blue

Laws In Connecticut.
Col Elliott F. Shepard was introduced tc
large congregation in Christ Protestant Epis-
copal Church in WillamsburGh last evening
as "A Presbyterian layman. who. by his ed
itorial advocacy OF Sunday observance had no
doubt caused the Mail and Express to lose
some advertisements"
The Colonel said he was shocked to notice as
he came through Williamsburgh that many
cigar shops were open. lie appealed to the
mothers among his auditors to do what they
could to stop this sort Of Dissertation. II they
didn't some OF their sons might some time be

Gus. and prosperous that didn't rest on one day
In the week to help generate energy for the
next six days.
The Turks were an example OF a people who
did not work six days in the week and rest on
the seventh. They rested all the time. and
that's the reason they declined. They had only
80 miles Of railroad. and that was owned by
foreign capitalists. The commandment said
that all should refrain from labor on the Sab
bath, the stranger within our gates" incud-
ell. The Colonel said that this stranger was
the immigrant with his lax notions OF Sunday
observance. and that he should be made to
conform with the American custom.
The Colonel made few remarks about the
soul-destroying practice OF riding 10 church on
Sunday. The worshipIer ought 10 move to
place within walking distance OF his church
rather than ride 70 it. II lie couldn't move. he
ought TO walk 70 the nearest church anyhow
tThe Colonel didn't say whether or not he got
over to Williamsburgh without ratroniZing
Sunday cars by walking across the bridge
The congregation was advised to let the sun
day newspapers severely alone not TO adver-
tise in them,, not 70 read them, and to try 70

The Colonel said that he had heard much

out not long ago that there We're really no blue

Reason for Protesting.

There is story told of young ply
sician of this city who was connected
at one time with the emergency hos
pital which has caused many a smile
at his expense. He had not long been
stationed at the hospital when a woman
was brought in suffering from a severe
scalp wound. The blood was yelling
out in great jets and was fast dyeing
her golden curls a rusty red, and the
doctor was engaged in hastily clipping
her HAIR, when his patient exclaimed,
"Oh. doctor, don't! Thinking he
might have hurt her, he said. ''Oh,
never mind; that's all right" No
it's not" responded the lady with some
warmth, 'foryou are cutting my wig"
And so he was.

SLEEPY HOLLOW.
Hawthornc's and Emerson's Graves Neg
lected-Thoreau and Alcott.

A little outside of the town of Con-
cord. Mass, lies an ancient burial
ground known as Sleepy Hollow, "says
the Bangor Commercial. The fame of
the place is but little known, and few
people who visit it are acquainted with
its historical relations. On a hill of
some prominence lie the graves of four
famous writer's, Ralph w Waldo Emerson,
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louise M. Alcott
and Henry d. Thoreau
Here to the right lies what was NOR.
tai of the philosopher, Emerson. A
large triangular block of quartz, five or
six feet in height, marks the spot, its
sides presenting a rough irregular APP
pearance on account of the pieces that
have been Clipped off by the relic
seekers. Since the opening of the
grave short time since by unknown
hands, the body has been inclosed in a
tomb of granite, built below the monu-
ment. No name stands carven to tell
the passer-by of the great man buried
there. The tall grass and weeds grow
ing above the grave show plainly that
1t has long been neglected.
But little distance away is the grave
of Hawthorne, No stone is there 10
mark the spot and were it not for the
mentioning of the fact by the guide the
visitor would never know it.. As this
truth dawns upon him he. asks why it
is that one who achieved such fame and
honor should have been SO neglected,
Strange it is that those who laid him
here to rest have planted neither
monument nor slab as memorial to
his name. Asking the guide where his
wife lies buried he simply shakes his
head, and, pointing to the grave, says:
maybe she was buried there, too"
Surely as one looks at these mounds
of earth and thinks of those long buried
there. seviewing their lives and works.
he is at loss to account for this SEEM
ing neglect. Who is there who can
read the works of these great masters
and not love them, too? But we must
stop moment, for there is one whom
we have not mentioned. 1t is Thoreau.
You doubtless know of him, and are,
familiar with those vivid scenes which,
he has drawn, enacted in the wilds Of
Maine.
For years his grave remained un-
marked, but thanks to the generous
impulses of Mr.. Thatcher a handsome
monument of Maine granite stands
over his grave, and contains the names
of his wife and children buried there.
This deed is a most worthy one
Inoreau having been only a distant
relative of Mr.. Thatcher, and the quiet
manner in which it was effected re-
fleets great credit upon him. As long
as it marks the grave of Thoreau it
will also stand as a reminder of the
generosity of him through whose kind
ness it was erected.
