Midnight.

The face of the night is clouded,
For shame of the fearful day
Where men betray their brothers,
And right at the altar slay.
Judas strides through the market,
And Christ is still crucifed;
And peddlers cry their wares from the
Where the Son of God hath died.
No wonder the streams run purple.
Are red with the blood of the slain,
That Cain still murders Abel,
And Lazerous groans in pain!
No wonder the stars are silent,
And the skies are black with dread,
When we bury in earth our living
And robe N velvet our dead.
The daughter of Herod dances,
The head of the saint is prize,
And the dust of the foolish fables
Half blinds the prophets eyes!
On the floor of the holy temple
Is heard the ring of gold,
And mid sorrow and desolation
The joy of the world is told!
But the time will come when midnight
Will shine with tender light,
And day shorn of it's shadows.
Lie down at the feet of night!

more. After that I felt respect fol
Pinrod that had never before known.
Although he was poor and ignorant,
the butt of many vulgar joke and the
universal object of ridicule, this little
child could not bear, to part with him
without kiss. It seemed to me- that
that little child had found in him what
every one else had missed and was
blind to what every one else had seer.
1t was rebuke to me; /, who had
thought of him only as an object of
ridicule, now saw him as living faith

Day. and We should think he would
prefer to sit under his own arbor and
see his trees grow to being responsible
for weather guesses and counting
pumpkin seeds.
But since he Is pleased with his job.
let us say this of him: Sterling Morton
has stood up as straight a. . trivet for
his ideas Of Democracy. He has never
joined in with the Grangers or Pppn-
lists Of the Bug Eater State, for print
ing-press money, Sub-Treasuries, or
other idocy. He has stuck to straIght
Democracy in Nebraska. and somstimes
has got considerable degree % soai-
tude thereby. He whacked away at
protection before some Of the. young
gentlemen who are now projecting
above the horizon had put away long
stockings and assumed the manly trous
ers. He is q free trader such as Prof.
William Graham Summer or Prof.
Arthur Latham Perry rrjoices In ex-
ceedingly, and the lattsr has inscribed
a book to him. He hates protection
worse than he hates foot and mouth
disease or fellow that cuts down .
tree unnecessarily. He stands square
ly on the Democratic platform. s.Ibe-
lieve, he said on Saturday, .'that the
Government has no aight to tax except
to obtain a revenue for its support. >
That is the talk! Mr.. Morton drives
q straight economic furrow. and having
put his hand to the plough, viii not
turn back. He Il opposed to the ANTI
Option bill, and his remarks about Il
are refreshing:
II am mott protectionist, but believe
that the farmer needs more protection.
He needs it most from his alleged
friends. Some Of his ideas need chang
ing, and he would not suffer from more
OF certain kind Of education, fUr it
has been said, you know. that khe farm
er thinks he knows more about 'fQn-
ming the finances, commerce, and rail-
roads Of the country than he does about
raising his crops. He needs. saving
from commercial fal1acies.
The Hatch Anti-O Option bill 10 one.
It Is declared that tho farmers are the
vast majority Of the supporters Of this
measure. They should in my mind be
it's chief opposers. i think that the
produce exchanges and boards of trade.
which the bill aims to destroy. are to
the farmers' greatest advantage.
They provide daily market and
their workings tend to keep prices up
il there, we're no exchange, the big
millers could virtually set their prices
on the farmers products and the farm
ers would be obliged to accept them"
! That, too. is the talk. The new
Secretary Of Agriculture is : capable
and sensible man who believes what
he believes, and doesn't truclkle to any
body. He deserves q better place than

Pinrod.

He was little old dried up man
with small, weak eyes and dressed very
shabby. He stopped where we were
at work on the track at little station
on the C. & V. R. r., called Cowling
He seemed to be in distress and at once
attracted our attention by asking if we
had seen man and woman pass thai
way. He informed us that man, Riley
by name, had stolen his wife at Mt.
Carmel, that the pair had taken all he
had and eloped.
One man advised him to let the wom-
an go, but to recapture his possessions.
l told him that I would ssrecapture the
woman at all hazards. This senti-
ment seemed to strike tender cord in
his breast, and he directed his CONVEX
sation to me from that time on. / pre-
tended to sympathize with him in his
distress, questioned him about the man
Riley and his deserting wife. "He

light and right in the city of Mt. Car
mel at that"
q After detailing all the circumstances
connected with the case he left us. He
overlook the fleeing couple at GRANVILLE.
He found them seated on a bench lean
ing up against the side of the building.
He at once demanded that his wife re-
turn to him, but Riley objected. A
crowd of men and boys were soon at
tracted to the spot, and when they un-
derstood the situation some one propos-
ed to weigh the men and give the wom-
an to the man who weighed the most
Riley, who was much the largest, read
lily consented to this plan of adjusting
matters and stepped on a pair of wagon
scales that stood near, which, perhaps,
suggested the idea to the boys. His
weight was soon declared and he step
ped off, smiling with confidence, and
then Pinrod, nothing daunted, took his
position on the scales and several small
boys, who sympathized with him, eau
tiously stepped on with him and made
the beam tip at two hundred and fifty
pounds. Pinrod is the heaviest was
the unanimous verdict of the crowd
and he must have the woman, and,
strange to relate, the couple marched
off together and Riley went off about
his business and the writer never heard
of him again. Not so with Pinrod, he
rented house in GRANVILLE and he
never left that place as long as he lived.
He was always an object OF ridicule
and the butt of many a practical joke
At the town election once the candi-
dates were very, unpopular and their
names were scratched of and the name
of Pinrod written in the place, and,
from accident or design, this
in so many cases that Pinrod
came within few votes of being
elected.
When questioned upon the subject
be said, 81 like the people of Gray
vile; they gave my wife back to me
and almost elected me marshall.
The writer was once passing his
house, when Pinrod came out and START
ed away. A little child came to the
door and began to cry, papa! papa!''l
and cried as if his heart would break.
Pinrod turned. retraced his steps. took
she little fellow in his arms, gave him
! kiss and again went away. The child
hen seemed satisfied and cried no

Religion In China.

In theory Confucianism is the religion Of
the state. The state officials are the literati
who have secured their positions through
the study OF the classics-i. e., the Sacred
Writings of Confucius. The Confucianist
temples are protected and honore6 by the
state, and the worship of Confucius is car
ried on at the expense of the state. In a
limited sense, too, Buddhism can also claim
to be state religion. The same is also
true of Taoism, since deceased generals and
statesmen are assigned their corresponding
ranks with the Taoistic king of the lower
world in hades. In this role they are
worshiped in Taoistic temples. In this way
1t is possible for Chinaman to make use
Of all three religions without getting into
conflict with the distinctive principles of
any of them. Their officials worship to
gether. In funeral services monks of both
orders are found performing functions on
different days.
The public temples are usually in control
OF the Taoists, but sometimes are in charge
of Buddhists Not rarely Taoistic gods are
found in Buddhist temples and vice versa.
Sometimes they differ only in nsme. The
Buddhist goddess of mercy is the Taoist
goddess of heaven. The pearl king of the
Taoists is the imperial ruler of the Bud
dhists. Both systems teach the same ten
princes in hades, and even a reproduction
of the Buddhist punishment in hell is found
in the Taoist temples.-AIgemeine Mis-

Novelists and Their Characters.

Novelists are always trying to get the
clothes of their characters correctly; most
particular are they that their heroes and
heroines shall speak the language of their
time, not refer 10 steam engines before they
are invented, nor use a word that did not
come into the vocabulary till a century
later; but there is n verisimilitude which
is worth all of that external adherence to
fact; love, passion, hate, forgiveness, re
nunciation, all these things do not belong
TO any age or people. They are universal,
and he who would be immortal must por-
tray them in the garden of Eden rs well as
in the Nineteenth century. Then indeed
will he earn immortality, because his work
will not only be literary and social-it will
be human
Is SCOTS Rebecca any less alive than
Howelrs latest heroine? And yet the
SHOWS Of many a century have fallen over
the spot where once lay-or we fancy once
lay-the noble and enchanting form of the
Jewish maiden. What do we think OF
when we go to Windsor but Sir John Fal-
staff? The queen of England beside him l.
indeed an imaginary parsonage TIE
supreme artist is he who will not only meet
the imagination of alien readers, but will
compel their imagination to come to him.

Ed johnson, who is now one of the Law
partners of Judge Hoadley in New York
once had case before Judge Baxter, down
in Tennessee, and in the course of his argu
ment remarked that it was plainly evident
that an injunction could not be issued
against his client Judge Baxter inter
rupted him, saying that he thought he was
mistaken
We'll, your honor, must confess that
cannot see how it can be done,'' said Mr.
johnson.
II can very easily show you if you desire
me to-" blandly observed Baxter.
OF course the attorney calamity expressed
how grateful he would feel if the honorabl-
court would instruct him. Baxter picked
up pen, seized a scrap of paper and hur
riedly wrote out an order in proper Legal
form directing an injunction to be ISSUED
against Johnson's client.
That's the way to do it, Mr.. Johnson ;
said his honor Mr.. Clerk place this order
in its proper place upon the record. ~

The pelicacy of Measuring Instruments.


The adjustment OF measuring instr7l-
ments has been brought to point of such
accuracy as to give almost incredible re-
suits. Scales are now made that will weigh
the fame of n candle or the smallest strand
of hair plucked from the eyebrow These
scales are triumphs OF mechanism and are
inclosed in glass cases, as the slightest
breath of air would impair their records
The glass cases have sliding door, and as
soon as the weight is placed in the balances
the door slides down. The balances are
cleared again and made ready for further
use by the pressing Of a button, which
slightly raises the beams. Two pieces of
paper of equal weight can be placed in the
scales, and an autograph written in pencil
on either piece will cause the other side to
ascend, and the needle, which indicates the
divisions of weight even to the 10, OO0, o00th
part of a pound and less, will move from
its perpendicular A signature containing
nine letters has been weighed and proved
to be exactly two milligrams or the Is, 5o0th
part of an ounce troy-St. Louis Globe
