MATERNAL KINDNESS ovERDoNE
One Of the BesettinG Faults of New
England Mothers.

| One of the Besetting Faults of New
England Mothers.
| The typical New England woman, says
the Boston Transcript, is the most devoted
of mothers, but in that, as In everything else,
she is Martha. The typical American child
is very bad, and 1t is wonder that so many
of them escape hanging before they are 2l.
The New England child r not bad, though,
In the commonly accepted sense, but he is
extremely apt to be SO preternaturally good
that he deserves hanging. He is read to
and talked to and prayed over until all the
latent priggishness in him, is developed, and
be becomes little monster of virtue. The
conscientious mother explains everything to
him as far as she can and the child naturally
thinks he knows 1t all. He reasons solemnly
between right and wrong and has convictions
on all subjects before he is In his teens. or
course the great majority get over this in
time, but that does not make the system
right, There is an rnruly age in boy
which is no more wickedness than the sprout-
Ing OF his mustache. But one often hears
the conscience-ridden New England mother
mourning over these lads as II they were all
started on their way to the states prison.
Anything will serve "a really good, pious,
upright. sef-sacrlfcing New England woman
to borrow trouble on, especially II she is
riage she can contrive to get more
trouble out Of that carriage than
any other woman could get out
of fire, an epidemic and an execution in the
house all at the same time. What with the
physical condition of the horses and the
spiritual condition Of the eoachman, and the
awful doubts whether she has taken her poor
relatives driving as often as she ought, she
can have regular orgy OF doubts and re-
proaches and questionings over what never
was meant to be trouble at all. Her fall
lngs lean to virtues slde-but she will GER
tainly inherit some Of the judgments foretold
dwell In sadness" II whole generation OF
New England women could be born without
conseienees 1t would be q blessing-and It
would certainly improve their looks i'm
mensely.

POLITICAL PARSONS.
n. O. States.

n. o. States.
The Baltimore Am crican believes
and seems happy in the belief, that
the clergy of Maryland are on the
Republican side in the present cam
paign, as some of them have been
preaching political sermons. This
affords the New York Sun an oppcr-
tunity to ventilate its opinion Of
political parsons, which it does after
the matter following:
We know the political parson al
together too we'll in this town. He
is nuisance. He cannot become
a politician without neglecting his
Masters business. He imParts a
fierce and hysterical unreason. AS
rule, he is windy and virulent.
He cannot understand how anyb ody
can differ with him. He is quick
to impugn the motives of his oppo-
nents. Most of his political haran-
CUES are devoted to the purpose of
calling everybody on the other side
a villain, and everybody on his own
who dares TO disagree with him,
Raca, Thou Fool Bad temper,
bad taste, bad Judgment, and bad
manners are the chief characteris-
tics Of the political parson; and in
connection with the exhibition of
these he displays large fund Of is
norance and Conceit. He roars
like a bull of Bashan. He brays
like the wild ass in the desert, and
no man regardeth him.
The active political parson re-
veals in himself SO much malice and
Observation-Disclosures, and, is SO ready
to bear false witness against his
ncighhors that he is liable to pro-
duce very bad impression upon
minds not trained to nice discrinli-
nations. Some of the anger which
his unbecoming excitement and pas
sion cause, may lead the thoughtless
to think more lightly than they
should of the religion which he pro-
fesses, and of the charitable princi-
Piles which his political talk and &C
ton SO often contradict. He does
no good to religion and doesn't i'm
prove politics or himself.
Maryland deserves sincere SYM
pa'hy if it is now suffering from a
plague of political parsons.

TIE POPE ~ THE SHADOW
or DEA TIL.

The London correspondent of
the New York Sun cables the follow
ing:
There has again been this week
one Of those official denials of the
alleged illness Of the Pope which are
always SO promptly forthcoming
when required, and which are in
variably emphatic to the point of
fierceness. 1t is perfectly true, says
the Sun reporter III Rome, that the
Holy Father is not i'll, but to assert
or suggest that there Is no cause for
anxiety is to carry Off contradic-
ton to the verge of falsehood.
Leo XIII goes about his work pla-
cidly and serenely, as though the
shadow Of death did not hang over
HIM, or, perhaps because of that
fact. Zach week seems to increase
the emaciation Of his body, ard add
to the exquisite sweetness Of his dis
position.
intellectually he remains a giant,
and he takes his full share in the
direction of affairs of state Some
times he refers calmly, even cheer
fully, to the dark shadow against
which his frail figure stands out
LUMINOSITY. In the Vatican garden
grows vigorously a grape vine which
he planted with his own hand, and
in which he has always taken pa
rental pride. Beginning with this
week the vine was covered with
fruit.
"Look," said the Sovereign Pom
tiff to his attendants, "those grapes
will yield fine wine, but l shall not
be here to drink of it,"
In the Vatican the little story is
told daily, and there is not one man
within the walls of the great palace,
from Cardinal Secretary of State
down to the humblest Papal Guard,
who does not know or believe His
H oliness spoke of that with the
spirit of prophecy strong upon him.

There are $500 convicts in the
Texas penitentiary and not one
printer or newspaper man among
them, while there are number of
ministers, doctors, bankers, law
yers, photographers and members of
all the professions and the callings,
and yet goody-goody folks give the
average printer a bad name. The
nature Of the cart preservative"
teaches the printer to detest hypoc-
risy and probably for this reason
he is generally considered 'ttough
character" There are said to be
very few printers in hell, but it is
doubtful if any who have run coun-
try papers ever reach heaven.-La
fayctte Gazette.

It is said that Gen. Longstreet
will soon publish book in which
he will make some very adverse
criticisms on the skill of Gen. Lee
as tactician. The renegade gen
eral has already forfeited about all
the respect the people of the South
once had for him and if he make an
effort in the line indicated there will
not a be a shred of it left. In this
connection the Memphis CONNER
cial-Appeal pertinently says: elf
Gen. Lonstreet makes good his
criticism he will achieve { fame
greater even than that he won in
war. Lees campaigns have been
studied by the greatest military
critics Of the world, and his fame as
a soldier has grown brighter year
by year. 1t is sufficient answer
for the unskilled in the art of war
that Lee cutgeneraled very COM
mander that went against him, de-
feating army after army far out
numbering his own and yielded at
last when the resources of the Con
federacy were exhausted and vhen
there were no more soldiers 20 sup
ply his wasted ranks. If Lee was
not great gen eral he was fortunate
in having nothing but blockheads 10

Dismal prophets of the Virgins
Kind are predicting hard winter.
They are full of science and pro-
phetic gall. The goosebone is near
1y all white this year, and the result
will be that snow will be on tie
ground from early in December un-
til late in April, according to geese
prophets. A long, cold winter,
filled with clustering storms, is
ahead. There are other signs that
confirm this. Corn husks are un-
usually thick, and chipmucks and
woodchucks are already fat enough
to kill. Coal is advancing and gas
companies are threatening to raise
their rates. The cheek of the pro-
phets is also much harder, and that
is one of the reasons why they look
for hard winter.-Jennings Times.

THE DEThRONED BABY.
Tho Two-Yenr-Old Is Put Aside When
the New Baby Comes

During the first two years of our pill
grimage through life our troubles are
altogether of physical nature. A
helpless baby in the hands of an igno-
rant mother or nurse is often the most
to be pitied of all dumb animals, but
it's trials are those of the flesh. 1t is
only after it has been, as it were,
pushed out of place by al interloper-
in short, when there is newer baby,
that it begins to know what it is to
have troubled spirit When it is no
longer Baby" but Harry, or "Jane,"
or perhaps even that child" then be-
ginneth it's first lesson in the muta-
tions of earthly things. Talk OF de-
throned monarchs and passe beauties,
of poets whose popularity has waned,
and of painters whose pictures no
longer sell! These have, like Tony
Weller's VERY old'' turkey, the con-
ISOLATION of being tough. 1t is different
with the little creature who, only a
few short months ago, ruled the roost
in the nursery, and now must make
way for-what? A little bald, red,
toothless object, who, when seen at
the best, can do nothing but double it's
notified fists and smile idiotically.
But, little and insignificant as it may
look, its coming has made the world
very different place for the old baby,
who now no longer keeps it's carriage,
but in it's excursions abroad must
trudge along on it's little feet, some
times having hard work to keep up
with nurse, who, while she has only
fond words for the carriages occupant,
too often has cross ones for the STUN
bling little toddler at her side. But,
worst of all, the old baby has been
ousted from its mothers lap, and stands
unnoticed by her side, while visitors
rush at the new baby as though they
would eat it, and are then entertained
by accounts of it's remarkable precocity
what an astonishing baby it is for its
weeks, how wonderfully it takes no
tice, etc, etc. Guardians of the nur-
sery, what you need is an invading
host Of Susan Nippcrs to put an end to
this state of things A brand-new baby
is all very well, but that is no reason
why it's predecessor should be treated
as if, in it's own language, it wasn't
nothing. DIR. Clara Marshall, in Baby
hood.
