1t was all done in strictest accord
ance with the rules of honor and the
customs of the time. Hamilton fell,
and Burr became an exile and an adj
venturer.
There is one side of Burr's char
acter that has been lost sight of in
the odium that attaches to his later
public acts. He was devoted bus
band and father. No gallantries were
whispered about him until after Mrs.
Burr's death, and Mr.. Parton declares
that much of this gossip was greatly
exaggerated. His relations with his
daughter Theodosia were not only ad-
mirable but charming. Her mother
died when she was child, and her
education was carried on and super
intended by him. If anyone would
know how to train girl into the most
perfect womanhood let him read
Burr's correspondence with his daugh-
ter and his scheme for her education.
In his busiest and most perplexing
hours, when immersed in business
enterprises or political intrigues, he
had always time to think and plan
for her. There is no more exquisite
picture of father and daughter in all
history. This may not offset the
other and baser side of his character,
but it deserves to be known.
And vet, severe as his punishment
has been, it is not likely that the
judgment of his contemporaries will
ever be reversed. Chicago Tribune.

So the doctrine of retribution
stands and the sufferings of the
Saviour touch the heart to-day as
much as ever they did in the past.
We see these things differently, that
is all. We believe in punishment, but
we believe that it is purposed for re-
straint-for instruction. God wounds
us that he may gain our ear, and tell
us of the majesty of his law, and
while we hear he pours into the life
flood of truth, and our light affiic-
tions work for us far more exceed
ing and eternal weight of glory than
otherwise could have come to US. 1t
is after sickness that we enjoy health;
it is after sadness that joys swells
our hearts with supassing rapture; it
is after sin that the reunion OF the
soul with the spirit of its Maker
makes earth heaven and content
ment. Little progress could we make
were life not set in contrasts. 1t is
the chilling today overspread with
clouds sending down their dreary
rain or driving sleet that makes the
warm sunshine, which shall come to-
morrow, fall like a benediction upon
us. 1t is winter wrapped in SHOWS
that prepares us for the spring time,
its warm south winds and its woods
sweet scented by the flowers. So
earth, believe, will give blessing
to every soul that God has appointed
to dwell therein. Its pains, sorrows,
temptations, imperfections, persecu-
tions and uncertainties at death are
left behind us, and then in Gods own
time and way the greatest contrast
shall beam upon our sight and the
discouraged will become hopeful, the
unbelieving will believe, the soothing
will worship and sing hosannas,
those who love low, base and evil
thoughts will hate their former lives
and take up the anthem of tie
blessed, "And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sor-
row nor crying, neither shall there be
any more pain; for the former things
are passed away"

THE SUFFERING POOR.
BY REV. r. A. WE TIE.

CHICAGO raises her voice in suppli-
cation for the starving poor. A great
meeting is to be held to arouse in
terest and solicit aims. The cry of
distress is appalling in this great city
of wealth. Buy all means raise $780,
600, and, if need be, twice that sum.
Chicagowill give, as she always does.
The rich men of Chicago are not
backward in serving their unfortun-
ate brothers. Do all this, but let no
man file an Indictment against the
King of heaven and earth because
this appeal is necessity. God gave
the West fair prairies and fertile fields,
mountains rich with ore, forests and
lakes teeming with game and fish.
Here he spread table for the world.
Is the western land exhausted that
men and women starve in Chicago in
this year of our Lord 1872 Is there
not enough to go around that men
and children are freezing in Chicago?
Are the coal fields of Pennsylvania
robbed of their last pound of coal
that there are so few fires in the
CRATES of Chicago poor7 Have the
cattle disappeared from the western
ranches that the poor have no meat3
Is there no longer wool or cotton to
spin and weave clothing for the bare
backs of the poor? Are the western
fields and mountains and ranches

southern tip of the State the rail

of corn, for which farmers cannot
get enough to pay for its raising.
The cellars of Illinois are bursting

thousands of men and women and
children are starving and freezing in
Chicago. In Chicago an appeal for
a paltry 100000. In New York, SO
the papers say, a party will soon be
given that all told will cost 100000.
Let Chicago raise her 100000 by all

let Chicago and this nation ask anew

be condemned because they are rich.
They have taken, as all would, what
our industrial system has given them.
The rich are not heartless, nor do they
wish their kind evil. They are caught
in the same system which engulfs the
poor man, except they by good for
tune win in the game while the other
man loses. I do not know what the
reform is that will cure this social
evil. Upon man rests the awful re-
sponsibility of rectifying the condi-
tions which man has, in his ignor-
ance or greed, created.

JEWISH FAMILY LIFE,
MACOMB, ILL.

In general it must be said that the
law and its requirements filled so
large place in the thought and life
of the Jew that it is hardly an ex-
aggeration when Jost says that "the
entire life of Judaism was religion"
Yet thoroughly as Jewish life
was impregnated with the thought of
religion, and heavy as was the burden
which the law and the casuistry of
the scribes had laid on the shoulders
of the people, yet Jewish home had
its round of everyday occupations
such as are necessary everywhere
among civilized peoples to make life
comfortable or even possible. Chill
dren were cared for usually by their
own mothers. Nurses are mentioned
only in connection with the more
wealthy families. The preparation
of the food seems also to have been
done by, or under the immediate di-
rection of, the women of the house,
even in families that were well-to do.
In patriarchal times Abraham calls
on Sarah to provide cakes for his un-
expected guests (Gen. 1850. In later
Old Testament times the ideal wife
rose early in the morning and gave
meat to her household. And in the
New Testament time Martha, evident
ly by no means of the poorest class,
''served" when Jesus was a guest at
her house. Even Hillers inclusion
of burned dinner in the justifable
causes for divorce testifies that the
wife was the cook of the family, The
weaving of linen and of wool fell also
to the lot of the women of the house,
as well as the preparation and care of
the clothing for tie household. This,
however, was somewhat simpler
matter than it would be in modern
times and in occidental lands.
In the houses of the wealthy there
were of course slaves or hired SER
wants to perform all these tasks or to
assist in them. But slaves at least
were far less numerous than among
the Romans, and their condition far
superior in every way. Manual labor
was never despised by the true He
brew. The rabbis taught that he who
failed to teach his son trade in eff
feet taught him to steal. Even the
boy who was destined to be scribe
first learned a trade, as did Paul. 1t
was no reproach to Jesus that he was
a carpenter.
The entertainment of guests was
among the Jews at once one of the
pleasures of life and a sacred duty.
The Old Testament bounds in refer
ences to acts of hospitality, and the
New Testsment gives instances both
of guests invited to meal and of
friends or strangers entertained over
night. Christ's illustration of the
man who found himself with nothing
to set before his friend who had come
to him on his journey indicates that
it was not the great or the wealthy
only that were won't to show hospi-
tality Khans there were, to be sure,
where traveller might find shelter
for himself and his beasts, but pro-
badly in most cases had to provide
not only his own bedding but food
for himself and provender for his
animals. In such khan it was that
Joseph and Mary lodged and Jesus
was born duke 2:O. Sometimes
there was a keeper of the inn, from
whom necessary food, etc, might be
purchased. But these did not, by
any means, displace the exercise of

WHITEWASHING AARON BURR.

The other day Mrs. Witherspoon,
whose name is strongly reminiscent
of New Jersey and of the College of
New Jersey, read a paper in defense
of the character and good name of
Aaron Burr. 1t is said the paper met
with but scant approval from the
audience of New York ladies to
whom it was addressed, but that is
not surprising. The New York tradi
ton is all against Burr, and it is not
from the State or city where his tri-
umphs were the greatest that his re-
Mobilization will ever come, if it
comes at all.
A hundred years ago Aaron Burr
was esteemed by his fellow citizens
to be one of the foremost as we'll as
one of the most successful business
men in the United States. He was
closing a term of six years in the
United States Senate, and in the
preceding presidential election had
received thirty electoral votes. He
was considered the northern as JEFF
ferson was the southern leader of the
new forming republican party. He
contested with Hamilton the leader
ship of the New York bar, and to all
outward seeming was destined to a
high place in the permanent regard
of his countrymen. He was then Al
years of age, and Hamilton was one
year his junior. AS young men they
had served together for time on
Washington's staff, and both had
distinguished themselves in the war
of independence. They came to the
bar at the same time, and were rivals
in the law, as they vera in politics.
In New York society both were ia
vorites, and each entertained the
other at dinners and other social
functions.
Outwardly they were on terms of
amiability, if not of friendship, but
their private correspondence shows
that neither had faith in the other.
though Hamilton's letters exhibit
much deeper hostility to Burr's po-
litical advancement than Burr any
where exhibits against Hamilton. In
Hamilton's eyes Burr was Cataline,
and he does not hesitate to say so to
his intimate friends. In the light of
Burr's subsequent career this esti-
mate does not seem wholly wrong. 1t
was Burr's political genius that car
ried New York for the republican
ticket in 1900 and elected jefferson
and himself to the presidency and
vice-presidency of the United States.
But from that moment Burr's pres
tige declined.
The story of the tie vote, of the in
trigues that followed it, and of Ham
ilton's influence in defeating Burr's
unjustifable aspiration for the presi-
dency, is too familiar for repetition
here. Four years later Hamilton
again crossed Burr in his ambition
for the governorship of New York,
and that sealed his fate. An injudi-
cious letter written by Hamilton
criticising Burr in manner that even
the latitude of politics forbids, gave
the defeated and now diseredited
Burr the eagerly wished for opportu-
nifty to force Hamilton into duel.

A Novel Plan of Building.

A German inventor has built house
of hollow tubes, whose advantages are
he says, a constant temperature, and in
cidentally strength, comfort and beau
ty. He. first put up a frame of water
tubing, allowing continuous circula-
ton to stream of water. Around
this frame he put his house in the
ordinary way. The popularity is that
all floors and ceilings are crossed and
recrossed by the water pipes. The
water, having passed through horizon
tai tubes under the floors and ceilings,
passes through the vertical tubes un-
til all have been gone through. In the
summer fresh, cool water circulates un-
der pressure through the net work OF
tubes. cools off the walls, and after
having run its course, flows consider
ably warmer than when it entered. In
it's course it has absorbed much heat,
which it carries away. During the long
and severe winter the water entering
through the basement is first heated to
nearly 100 degrees and then forced
through the ceiling. Of course much
OF the heat is left all over the house,
and at the outlet the temperature OF
the water is about 40 degrees. The
speed Of the circulation Of water can
be regulated, so as to allow fixing 4
certain temperature, equal Throughout
the building.

which followed our self-introduction

Morning after morning we sailed forth

Evening after evening we returned to

Ward Richardson's advocacy Of temper
ance tells how he had been on a visit
to one of the three or four small towns
in England which have no public
house. Although there were 1900 pee
pie there the doctor was nearly starv-
ing. One day a young medical man
came to Sir Benjamin for advice as
to taking the practice and Sir Benja-
min, placing his hands on the young
doctors shoulders, said: Take NY ad-
vice, and don't. Those wretched tceto-
