ton of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr..
Burke in Phoenix park, Dublin Ireland,
IN the attempt to avenge the wrongs Of
Ireland, only turned away from that af

The attempt TO blow up the House of
Commons. in London, had only this effect;
to throw out of employment tens of thou
sands of innocent Irish people in England.

value of the property. The miller would
not take it, because it was the old home
stead. and he felt about as Naboth felt
about his vineyard when Ahab wanted il.
Frederick the Great was a rough and ter
rible man, and he ordered the miller into
his presence; and the king, with a stick in
his hand-a stick with which he some
times struck his officers of state-said to
this miller: Now, l have offered you
three times the value of that property, and
If you won't sell il, III take it anyhow"
The miller said, ''Your majesty you
won't" YES" said the king, Il viii

your majesty does take It, l will sue you
in the chancery court" At that threat
Frederick the Great yielded his infamous

and labor cannot be settled by human wis

with their thumbs on each others throat
-as they dot is time for us to look
somewhere else for relief. and it points
from my text roseate and iubilant and
puts one hand on the broadcloath shoulder
of capital and puts the other on the
homespun-covered shoulder of toll and
says. with a voice that will grandly and
gloriously settle this, and settle every
thing: Whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, do you even so TO them. +"

to wash, and cook, and sweep and it
were the duty of the maid in the kitchen
TO preside in this parlor." The maid in
the Kitchen must say: IF nv EMPLOYER

Inc owner of an iron mill, having taken
dose of my text before leaving home
in the morning, viii go into his foundry.
and, passing into what is called the pud-
ding room, he will see a man there strip
ped to the waist, and besweated and ex-
hausted with the labor and the toll. and
he will say to him; why, it seems to
be very hot in here. You look very much
exhausted. 1 hear your child is sick with
scarlet fever. If you want your wages a
little earlier this week, so as to pay the
nurse and get the medicines, just come
into my Office any time.
After awhile, crash goes the money
market. and there is no more demand for
the articles manufactured in that iron
mill, and the owner does not know what
to do. He says: "Shal l stop the mill
or shall L run it on half time or shall I
cut down the mems wages?" He walks
L
hardly knowing what to do. Towards
evening he calls all the laborers together.
They stand all around, some with arms
akmbo, some with folded arms, wonder
ing what the boss is going to do now.
The manufacturer says: Men, times are
very hard; 1 don't make twenty dollars
where l used to make one hundred Some
how, there is no demand now for what
we manufacture, or but very little de-
mand. You see, I am at vast expense,
and 1 have called you together this aft
ernoon to see what you would advise. 1
don't want to shut up the mill, because
that would force you out of work. and
you have always been very faithful, and

the BARNS must be looked after. and your
wife will after awhile want new dress.

There is a dead halt for a minute or
two, and then one OF the workmen steps
out if0m the ranks OF ms Iel0WS, ana
says: BOSS, you have been very good TO
us, and when you prospered we prospered,
and now you are in a tight place and l
am sorry, and we have got TO sympathize
with you. I don't know how the others
feel. but [ propose. that we take off 20
per cent. from our wages, and that when
the times get good you win remember us
and raise them again" The workman
looks around TO his comrades, and says:
Boys, what do you says TO this? All in
favor of my proposition will say aye"
'Ay! Ay! ay!" shout 200 voices.
But the mill owner, getting in some new
machinery, exposes himself very much,
and takes cold, and il settles into pneu-
monia, and he dies. In the procession
10 the tomb are all the workmen, tears
rolling down their cheeks, and off upon
the ground; but an hour before the pro-
cession gets to the cemetery the wives and
the children Of those workmen are at the
grave waiting for the arrival of the fu-
