Senator Jim Smiths harmony feast in
Newark last week seems to have had one
or two discordant notes, notably from
Thomas F. Lane, of the Summit Record,
who, in referring to the chief speaker of
the occasion, who was Allan L.. McDer-
mott, the chief marshall of the sound
money Democrats last fall, called him the
''hired counsel of the race track gamblers
of the State, and the principal achitect of
the race track legislation of 1898, which
destroyed the Democratic party" Fur.
Their than this Mr.. Lane declares that "if
Democratic victory next November, or at
any other time, means a return to power
in the State of the Guttenburg race track

Lane is a son in.law of ex Senator Black

supporter Of Mr.. Cleveland and his wing
of the party, bat hen he lost his lucra-

was neglecting his duties in trying to aid

he prepared a speech full of "harmony"
and before going to the ''feast of reason
and flow soul' gave it to a local paper,
and strange enough, when he heard Allan
McDermott's speech, in which he refused
to be cajoled or bullied from his position
on the currency question, it SO stirred up
Mr.. Atkinson that he entirely forgot his

In the autumn of 1868 a young S chool
teacher from the West appeared in an
American bOarding-house in Berlin,
Germany. Beside her at the table was a
young New Yorker, his sweet faced wife
and two little girls, Oracle and Agnes.
The young man had graduated from
both university and theological seminary,
and had read the Old Testament in the
original Hebrew about a dozen times
He was rather tall, of slight build, WITH
a genial, scholarly face and beautiful,
fair hair, which, it is needless to say, he
did not wear like a state prison convict.
His wife was an accomplished city lady,
a musician, and with these two and her
travelling companion, the young teacher
went often to picture gallery and opera

II, 1897, in the Union Theological Semi

Miss Grace Briggs, the first woman

Seminary, had secured the second place
in her class. Miss Agnes Briggs is q
most helpful deaconess in the Episcopal
church of the city, and Prof. Charles A.
Briggs, whose books on higher criticism
marx an epoch in the worlds theological
studies, has no treasures so dear as the
gentle faced wife and two fair girls,
whom We met so pleasantly in Berlin
well-nigh thirty years ago. 1t is a curious
feature Of this transition age that DR..
Baiggs can not preach in the church
whose annals he rs helping to make
illustrious, because, although a most
spiritually. minded Christian, he is a
little too far advanced" for most of the
brethren, and his gifted daughter, one
one of the finest Hebrew scholars in the
land, can not preach, either, because it is
a little too soon for the brethren to ordain
a woman, no matter what her gifts,
graees or achi evements.

All are invited to participate.
The subject of "Heredity," presented
by Lydia B. Smith at the local meeting
on 2Sth inst, was full Of interest. The
good thought was expressed that in order
to give the best Inheritance to the child.
the thoughts and feelings surrounding
the child growth should always be pure
| and elevated.
In our mind this is the fundamental
principle of a pure or impure life. Even
thought alone, if pure, will produce the
pure feeling, therefore the pure life. But
woe to the man or woman, boy or girl,
who entertains in their secret heart the
impure thought or motive. 1t blights
the beautiful foliage of the flower, where
nature as nothing else can, and more
than any other influence takes away
from life the joy, the beauty of being.
Keep thy heart with all diligence, for
