some of the Good Results.

The prevalent fad of permitting so-called
society women to get out a special edi-
ton of a newspaper results in two excel
lent things. 1t induces them to spend
money, which at this time is to be COM
mended, especially if those out of work get
any of it. and ii convinces many aspirants
for the honors of Journalism that the bust

acts a higher grade of Attachments and re-

BY Phillips Brooks.

CThe following poem. never before pub
lished, was found in one of Phillips Brooks's
early note books in which he jotted down
thoughts and memoranda-Boston Tran
scriDt.)
Along the noisy city ways
And in this rafting city car:
On this the dreariest of days,
Perplexed with business fret and jar.
When suddenly a young sweet face
Looked on my p~etulance and pain
And lent it something of it's grace
And charmed it into peace again.
The day was just as bleak without,
My ~neighbOrs just as cold within.
And truth was just as full of doubt.
The world was just as full of sin.
But in the light of that young smile
Tn world grew pure, the heart grew
warm.
And sunshine cleaned a little while
Across the darkness of the storm.
/ did not care to seek her name,
l only said, God bless thy life,
Thy sweet young grace be still the same,
Or happy maid or happy wife"

Truth was ever called a liar
TIL in ~falsehood's guise she came;
Then we courted her. swore by her,
Called her by her rightful name.
Till one night in mirth and revel
Suddenly she stood unveiled
"Ah!" we shrieked, sit is a devil"
And the bravest of US quailed.
Then we drove her, bruised and bleeding,
From the castle stout and warm,
Out, despite her gentle pleading,
To the night wind and the storm.
Now some time there comes a stranger,
knight, or lover, to our door.
Seeking shelter out Of danger
But we open never more.
For we fear to swing the portal
Fen to knight or lovesick youth.
Lest, in guise of common mortal.

OFFERINGS OF THE POETS.

Three Score Years Ago.
On this lone spot, long years ago,
A woodlands cabin stood,
His AXIS stroke made gay echo
In the near. shady wood.
Once, homelike sounds the day did grace
From early morn till eve;
Now. voiceless, painless, is the place;
Neglected, seems to grieve.
The garget's mottled shade conceals
The green snake summing there:
Above, the ~listless falcon wheels,
The bee drones in the air.
A pile of red and black sandstone
In mould ring silence bears
Frenk witness of the fires that shone
On household joys and cares.
The snmach and the alder stand
Where pink and poppy grew.
The vines, run wild, speak Of a land
In by-gone years they knew.
But meath the hill a living spring
With draught as sweet does fioV,
And with as soft a murmuring,
AS three score years age.

skies,
How lew of US may reach thy shining

Thy lower slopes with eager feet are

But only from thy crown the great songs

To fill the space that nearest heaven lies.
All tints of colors from the oceans breast
Blent with the suns smile on thy fore
hoad rest,
And fold the world beneath in mute sur
prise;
But, Titan, thou art linked to US also
AS Genius may ascend the starry heights
And turn his face enrapt to those below,
SO we may catch some glimpses of the

That from the mounts imperial summit

Whose life is measured not by days and

JERSEY JUSTICE is thing that has
for ages been given several pages in
the history of the world. Another gem
has been added to the array of jersey
decisions. Some days since Mrs. Ke-
sian Ford was summoned to appear in
the Trenton police court. Kesiah re-
sponded promptly, but took with her
her year old darling. The darling
failed to appreciate the awful solemni-
ty Of the occasion or the majesty of
the court. 1t didn't like the looks of
Things apparently, for it set up lively
howllng. The agitated Mrs. Ford
trotted and Patted and cackled at the
infant, but without the desired etf.ct.
The Judge was shocked at the awful
disregard for the judicial dignity, and
III tones of thunder said, "stop that
infant" There was more trotting with
some "tootsey wootsey" talk thrown
ln There was no apparent effect on
the lnfantile lung-splitter. The Judge
then showed himself 10 be a true and
loyal son of New jersey by ordering
the year old darling confined for con-
tempt of court. A hurley policeman
attempted to carry out the order of the
court There was mix-ap. When
the dust cleared away the darling was
squaliing louder than ever, the copper
was minus a large part of his lux
urlant growth of hair and was pale
ana trembling. Then the Judge rose
III his might and ordered both mother
and babe confined for contempt, but
another judge stepped in and vverrued
the police justice. 1t is a good thing
that New Jersey is not in the United
States, so that we can look down on
things of this kind with disgust.

WE would like to suggest to the Re-
publican members of Congress that
this is not a time for partisanship; it is
"a time for "a display Of patriotism.
They can attach greater credit to their
names by entering into the financial
question without pIrtisau feeling, and
doing what lies in their power to assist
the Democrats in giving to the people
satisfactory currency bill. 1t is ac-
knowledged by every one that curreu-
cy legislation is needed to protect the
reserve of the treasury. The Democrats
are doing their utmost to give the peO-
pie law that will be- Of benefit to the
country at large. There should be no
attempt on the part of the Republicans
to postpone action. The country can
not afford to wait. Unless SOMETHING
is done and done pretty soon, the
country may see another summer like
those of '93 and '94 The financial
question is not one for partizanship, it
is the country's interests that are at
stake, and if the best men of both par
ties would get together there is not IA
possible doubt but they could pass a
measure that would pull the country
out OF the condition that has prevailed
for the past two years. Will the Re-
publcans do this?

The Hebron Case.

The removed cases from the Mont
gomery County Courts have been dis
posed OF; a compromise being effected,
by which the plaintiffs Leonard and
Emily Hebron are to receive from the
estate of the late Isaac Fyffe, defend
ant, the sum of Sl75, the costs to he
paid. also by the latter. The plaintiffs
in the above case had worked for the
defendant for the space of 27 years, and
after the death of Mr.. Fyffe, brought
SUIT TO claim 500 per year for the serv-
ice of Emily Hebron, who kept house.
while her husband labored on the
farm. The defense stated that the price
paid Hebron included also the service
of his wife. The decision i'm this case
sets precedent, and it was expected
that If it had gone the other way, nu-
merous cases of like nature would have
followed.
