GRUB" AND THE noisy CALF.

From the New York Herald.
He was Familiarity known as Grub
| by his fellow Yaiesnen, and his fail
ings were rack punch and big words.
Big words had always been his fail
ing; even in the college recitation room
he had left the professors breathless
time and time again after his John
sonese sentences, and when he was in
his cups he did not forget them.
1t was only last summer that he and
jolly set of companions were en-
camped on the shores of Lake Canaan
daigua, and as It was an end of the
century encampment the commissary
department did not depend upon the
hunting and fishing qualifications of
the camp members. They, moreover,
did not conine their potations TO lake
water.
The days passed merrily along until
the one previous TO the breaking of
camp, and as in all good camps a fare.
well punch was made to celebrate the
last night. A farewell camp punch is
a fearful risk for even the most sea
soned rounder to take, but the chem
zeal properties of that affair have never
been ascertained.
Grub" was happy that night, SUI
premely happy. He became so long be-
fore the others. so that they were COM
peeled TO place him in very early re-
tirement, and being in the mood they
devised a plan by which they thought
to free him from the controlling infu-
ences of drink.
There was a calf in an adjoining pas
ture, and after a great struggle they
captured it. They bound it securely
and carried il Vi ct arms into his tent.
They tethered it there, freed its legs
and fastened the tent flaps down tight.
The bleatings Of that calf were soul
stirring, but its sleeping companion
was not in a condition TO be stirred.
After 'Grub's' companions had &C
complished all this they went 10 bed
and waited They slept before any
thing happened, but their awakening
was sudden when the event occurred.
The air was rent with cries Of trem-
bling fear and the cries were mingled
with the wailings of the terrified calf
When they emerged from their tents
the guy ropes Of "Grub's" tent were
creaking, and the canvas sides We're
violently agitated by the efforts of the
imprisoned 10 escape. The ropes and
canvas would not yield. but the pegs
did and into the gray of the morning
came the flying figures Of the calf and
out OF the sPParition Of flowing paja-
mas came the piteous cry: save me
from the inevitable fate which awaits
ne, save ne. save me from the inevita-
bic fate which awaits me.

CURkCoA CORDIAL,

HIS TAIL RUNS INTO THE SKY.

Rev. Myron Reed, the sensational
Denver divine who lost his puIpiNfor
preaching Pop politics instead of relig-
| ion, declared tae other day that Christ
was an anarchist. The wild words of
a minister, bent more on saying start
ling things than of fulfilling his mission
| by inoculating the doctrines of peace
that were ever taught by the meek
Master, will hardly affect the fact that
| Christ was anything but an anarchist.
While His kingdom was not of this
world vet when confronted with a
proposition involving human govern
ment, its rights and prerogatives, he dis
tinctly procl aimed: "Render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars, and unto
God the things that are Gods" Myron
Reed and all his ilk will be knocked ont
by their own bombs. The misses of
destruction which he and they are
promiscuously hurting into the ranks of
a distressed and distracted people will
rebound and explode beneath their own
feet. It is blasphemy, bold and hor-
rible blasphemy, in the face of His char
acter and all of His teachings and limo
fensive life to liken Christ to Berr
Most, who openly urges the assassin's
knife.
In gaining a proper view of imme-
diate surroundings and a right under
standing of the real relations Of things
so much depends upon the perspective,
especially those of the back ground and
the horizon. Vision and consequent
judgment are SO easily distorted by
almost imperceptible lines of the per-
spective. We own an oil painting
whose figures and foreground, whose
distant horizon and calm blue sky
fiecked with floating clouds, seem the
perfection Of artistic conception and
touch. 1t is of a high bred pointer
at the moment he ''sets'' his bird which
he is intentiy cycling. His tail is long,
tapering, rigid, and erect, not too long
as measured by the body of dog or by
the near foreground, but when viewed
in connection with the distant per-
pective of horizon and sky it penetrates

high and pierces TIE ambient blue far in
the direction of Uranus and the fixed
stars. The artist, in some way, had
made a fatal stroke with his brush in
the perspective, and the lack of Conso-
nance in the real relations of the thing
forces the beholder to laugh where 9th
erwise he would only have admired.
How differently, how sharp the con-
trast between the views of the present
unhappy troubles is the one given to the
American people by Archbishop Ireland,
the patriot, and Myron Reed, the
mountebank. One with broad faith
and comprehensive conservatism grasps
both the present and future in which he
grounds the anchor of loyalty, liberty,
chris tIanity and love for a humanity
that is undergoing the trials of an ex-
traordinary ordeal, while the other
simply tlasphemes and spews out an
insanity while urging the methods of

ment when facing the fatal hour com

10, ALL THE AGE IS RANK WITH
WRONG.

Lo. all the age is rank with wrong!
The nations kneel to monstrous might,
And horrid cries that haunt the night
Have hushed the notes OF happy song;
Mankind the deepest truth has missed,
The best emotions have grown dim;
We praise the God that dwelt in Christ,
But cruelty the man in Him.
Laws noble. good and great at first,
With plan perverted, bind again.
The regal rights OF mind and men,
And prove OF tyrants Ear the worst
With blinded eye is Nature made.
And knows her constant purpose crossed,
While crafty Jacob plies his trade
And Esaa finds his blessing lost.
Earth yields her fruits in ample store;
Her children all are heirs that trace
Their lineage through the royal race,
And all her wealth is theirs more;
But one with cunning hand controls
The portions that his brothers fed,
While thousands-just and worthy souls
In aimless anguish cry for bread.
No royal blood by caste or creed,
No pride of place, no gid of gold
Can warm the weak, accursed with cold,
Or light the awful nights OF need;
Labor alone can blessings bring
To crown the broyys of Freedoms brave;
The tOiler is the trVest king,
The idler is the only slave.
But laugh. o. Labor, dry thy tears!
better day is drawing nigh;
HOPE brightens all the darkened sky.
The golden age of Love is near;
Behold. But yOnder stands Star.
The ancient lies T. death are hurled;
y mana child-is greater far
Than all the wealth of all the world,
FREEMAN E. MILLER.
