Monopoiies and Trusts.
n the New York Herald 4

From the New York Herald.
A monopoly of any kind is foreign
to our institutions and obnoxious to
the people. Trusts are contrary to
our laws and stand condemned by
the courts as well as popular senti-
ment. In this country competition
in every field of commercial, indus
trial and financial activity is public
right as it is public necessity.

A RURAL CHURCH.

a neat, cOmmodlous structure,
ct unadorned by art.
1t stands at little distance
From the near highway apart,
On gentle elevation,
Near the marlin of a grove,
With forest trees around it,
And the changing skies above.
There is held religious service
Unhihdered by the din
OF the densely congregated life
About the city fame.
There reigns delightful peacefulness,
Few Earring sounds intrude
On the trar quilliSing camuess,
The Sabbath quietude.
And yet it is lot lonely;
AS the milder seasons pass,
Small voices of the forest
From foliage aud grass
heSOund with ceaSeless murmur;
And through the cheerful SIP ing,
Bright summer and pleasant autumn,
The feathered warblers sing.
They have a useful mis- sion,
Those tiny messengers,
And blend their otes with the praises
OF the human wOrshippers.
III the pauses of the service,
The denizens of the wood
In their own sweet manner furnish
Many an interlude.
The audiences that gather
AT church on the Sabbath day,
Include the usual classes,
The serious and the gay,
Who prove by their department.
More than equipage or dress,
The true degree of culture
which frequenters there possess.
Hard by is the cemetery,
Where many tenants are,
Borne Shere from every quarter,
From near by and from far.
Not few have crossed its borders
From out the communion near;
Have ceased life's active duties
The lat, long rest to share.
Friends cherish "reminiscences
OF dear ones who have gone
From the precincts of the visible
Into the dim unknown.
Sweet voices that formerly carOled
Melodiously IN the choirs
Are doubtless now te-echOing,
In tune with heavenly iyres.
1t seems but a few transient years
Since member, young and fair,
And one of the sweetest singers
In the congregation there,
Wentout from the music circle,
AS gently rs will the flowers
That deck her grave to-day.
The flocks that there assembled
In the nalcy on days of yore,
By changes have been scattered
Are gone to come no more.
Where are now those congregations,
The serious and the gay,
Especially the elderly,
The fatherS-where are they?
And where are now the leaders,
They who in years gone by,
Conducted along LIES masses
A goodly company?
They strove to turn the wandering
From fieeting vanities
To ends that are abiding,
The true felicitIes.
Some linger md the labyrinths
or this perplexing life,
While others are gone or going
From the scenes of earthly strife.
Shepherds and she p are gathering
Whore fiocks. green pastures, roam;
Pastors aud people assembling
In an eternal home.
Aud where go the congregations,
The serious and the gay,
The earnest aud the thoughtless,
Who tread those courts to-day?
They are going from the striving
To defect or victory.
They are going, all are going
To an endless destiny.

Miss Olive Schreiner arrived in Lon.

it is not likely that she will make a long
stay in England as her arrangements
point to lengthy sojourn on the conti-

and lives in very retired fashion, she is
not the recluse many people believe, and
as the friend of suffering humanity in all
its many phases she is certain of u warm
welcome wherever she goes.
1t is expected that Miss Schreiner will
soon publish new novel. Indeed it 10
limited that her principal object in visit
ing London just now is to place the man
uscript of it in publishers hands, and
that in order to have it finished before
she left home she discontinued for the
