Harmful? Dsmoralizing? Sinful? That
depends entirely upon the individual
and associations. Henry Ward Beecher
once said: 81 have numerous inquiries
as to what 1 think about church men,
bers attending theaters To such / al
ways ask, What do you think of it your
self? II you think it is harmful, then it
is harmful. If not, under rational con-
ditions there is no harm whatever in
it. " And SO it is with dancing. Those
who dance purely for the sake Of amuse-
ment or for the ease and grace which
the pastime imparts to the individual
can derive no harm from it. Those who
are demoralized by dancing would be
led astray by anything else. Always
taking into consideration selectness and
respectability, dancing Of itself ought
not to harm if the individual person so
wills it-Pittsburg it. Dispatch.

CARLYLE AND THE cABBY.

Great Philosopher.

How the Latter Lost the Trade OF the
Great Philosopher.
Carlyle was woll known to London
cah,nen. For years he engaged a partic-
ular driver from the rank and refused
to have any other This man, however,
lost his custom in q somewhat peculiar
manner.
Some medical students got TO know
of his preference for the driver, and,
getting hold of the driver one day, they
inquired if he knew who his fare was,
when be told them he did not The stu
dents informed him that he was one Of
the most famous and eccentric writers
of the day, and, giving him book, ad-
Yised him to appear TO be reading it
whenever Carlyle approached the stand.
Cabhy, without amy suspicion, acted
on their advice, and when the old sage
next came for cab he seemed deeply
impressed in very pretentious book.
"Heilol Wha's that you're readinT'
inquired the Eoclefechan philosopher.
"a most hout an hout, tiptop, splen-
did book about that ere French revolu-
tion, " was cabby's gushing reply.
"Eh. what dae ye say? Let me see
it, " said Carlyle, holding out his hand.
"Oh, certainly, sir, " said the driver,
handing him a copy Of his History Of
the French Revolution. "
"'Weel, my man, " inquired the sage,
apparently delighted, "are ye sure that
you re readin this work intelligentlyg'
Perfectly sure, " said the jehu conf.

something in praise of the book, he
added, "Why, sir, it's almost as good
as The Newgato Calendar
The grim old Dumfriesian glared al
him, grunted out something, turned alb.
ruptly around and engaged the next
cab. From that day Carlyle never looked
at him, but stuck to the second man,
who happened to have had the honor oi
driving most Of the distinguished mer
Of the century. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

elusive rhyme
One night when the world was sleeping, in the

"Ch, how can ] Gomez he answered. LET me
alone, pray,
For the verse which ] now am weaving the
hearts Of men viii sway"
"Come," said the voice TO a statesman as he
stood in the senate ball,
And men moved on at his bidding like troops
at a bugle call
"How can / conner" he answered. "My sun at
its zenith stands.
Before it sets forever my name shall be known
in the lands"
"Come," said the voice to a mother with her
children at her knee,
Dreaming how safe and happy their life by
her side should be.
ooh, cannot come, she answered. ~ pray
you, let me stay,
For how can I leave my darlings to wander far

No other word was spoken, but the poet left
his pen,

For the voice which spoke all must oboy-it

knows OF. a. case before the court In his
own manner. We are glad to see that a
Chicago justice has recently taken this
view Of the matter in case where a
lawyer was engaged in an attempt to
frighten a boy out of his senses while
subjecting him tofa fusilade Of cross
questions. The justice ordered the at
torney to desist. which was met by an
impudent rejoinder and resulted in the
summary ejectment of the lawyer.
We do not know the name of the JUS
tice who SO properly maintained the
rights of witnesses and the dignity of
his court in the case named, but we
wish there were more of them, es-
pecially in country places where law
yers are quite apt to dictate to the
justices of the peace as regards both
the law and the evidence. Every JUS
tice, no matter how ignorant he may
be Of law, can never go wrong in de-
Tending the witnesses brought before
him from brow-beating as we'll as
maintaining the dignity Of his court,
nor should he take the word OF any
lawyer as to the law He can have his
own time to decide any statutory
question, and IL is his duty TO do so
without reference to the opinions of
the lawyers who may appear before
him.
