Pnrson and Pheasant.

There was sort of Jack Russell par
son who was called in from his shooting
one day to christening. and with him
came his factotum, who was both parish
clerk and keeper. He put gun and bag
down in the porch and commenced the
service. but it was interrupted by a
wild fluttering outside the open door,
and one of the pheasants. which was
not as dead as it ought to have been,
rose up and few hither and thither
through the church with the noise and
commotion of which only pheasants.
and frightened pheasants, are capable.
"Mark that cock, john" said the par
con in his usual sonorous voice, and
then resumed the service And here
again l do not think one of the little
party around the font saw the humor
Of the thing, and certainly John, who
replied Eyes, sir, with as much pro-
priety and dignity as he had just been
responding amen" saw nothing in
congruous or unbefitting in the scene.

Very Sad.

A lady writing from Victoria, Brit

lates an amusing and at the same time
pathetic story Of her Japanese "help,"
Frank. Going into the kitchen, she
found him at the window with a far

little brown face. Being human and
wishing, if possible, to be of service to
him, she ventured to inquire the cause
Of his distress, saying, whats the
trouble, Franll?" to which he mourn
fully made answer, with increasing
emphasis as he neared the end of his
woes:

We many secret might unfoded find.
Each tiny plant fulflls its heaven taught mission
And bears the impress of immortal mind.
We call them weeds, the while their uses hidden
Might work nations veal. a nations woe,
Send thro' each wasted frame the balm of heal

And cause the blood with youths quick pulse to

Weeds, yet they hold in bonds the mighty ocean.
Their slender threads bind firm the sandy shore.
Navies may sink amid its wild commoton
These humble weeds Ger their work give DER.
And who shall say the feeblest thought avails not
To bind the shifting sands upon lfe's beach?
Some heart may treasure what we've long forgot,
The faintest word some soul with power may

EXONERATED MR.. HANNA.

Council Before Whom He Was Tried
| Renders Finding in His Favor.
Union City, Nov. 27.--The following is
! the finding of the church council which
heard the evidence in the case of the
Rev. T. Carson Hanna, who was charg-
ed with conduct unbecoming minis
ter:
''First-Dld the Rev. n. Carson Hanna
ALLEVIATE the affections of Miss Eta M,
Simmons from her father or Floyd
Wooster?"
| THE vote was unanimously, No
| "Second-Dd the Rev. T. Carson
Hanna hug and kiss Miss Eta Sim
mons between the houses of Mr.. Hanna
and Mr.. Simmons, as charged, or at any
other place? Unanimously, No Both
sides admitted that Mr.. Hanna denied
their charges when confronted with the
same at Mr.. simmons house. On the
charges presented by Charles House
knecht complaint did not appear or any
witness to give testimony.
"The council further find that they
believe William Simmons and Ernest
Simmons We're honest in their convic-
ton that Mr.. Hanna had done some
wrong until enlightened by some one
and found they had been made the
dupe of by one of their own family.
That we believe Eta Simmons first in
fuenced the mind of Floyd Wooster,
now her husband, against Mr.. Hanna
since September 7, 1899; that early in
November she obtained the consent of
Irene Squires to assist her and that
Wooster and Irene from their talk pois-
oned the mind of Houseknecht We
each and every one of us firmly declare
that we believe Mr.. Hanna to be pure
and upright; that he has been fearfully
wronged; that he has been tried in the
furnace of affection and comes out
without scar; that he has shown
Christian spirit in trying to save this
girl from her own ruin that his de-
voted wife, who has known for year
past how matters stood, has shown
Christian fortitude and prudence,
Vengeance il mine, saith the Lord, I
will repay. Therefore, we ask that
Mr.. Hanna will not prosecute these par
ties; that as Christ forgave the dying
thief upon the cross. so he, in the spirit
of the divine Master, forgive the ones
who have so deeply wronged him and
may all of us, who desire to see work
Of grace in this community flock to his
help, support him in his labors and
thus build 1upcthe kingdom of God.
Further, that we meet at this chapel on
Tuesday next at the Endeav9r meeting
at 1880 to thank the Lord for His good
ness to us, and that they who have been
led away by these charges be hereby
invited to meet with us. (SignedD

BREWSTER STREET OBSTRUC-
TION.

-
Corporation Counsel Says Director
Troup Should Obey the Order for Re-
moval.
The order passed by the common
council recently instructing Director
Troup to remove the fence built across
Brewster street by the Consolidated
road will now. probably be carried out.
Mr.. Troup asked for advice from Cor
poration Counsel Robertson as to what
action he should take. The opinion of
the corporation counsel is, as follows:
"Your communication in which you
recite the order passed by the court Of
common council, which became opera
tive on the 23d day Of November, ten
days expiring without action by his
honor the mayor which order directs
you on or before December /, 1899, to
remove the obstruction on Brewster
street on either side of the tracks of the
railroad company, was this day receiv-
ed.
You are probably aware that Brew
ster street is similarly situated to Hazel
and Ivy streets, on which two latter
streets similar distractions existed.
The right Of the railroad company to
maintain these distractions, or, in other
words, the question of whether these
streets had the right to cross the tracks
OF the railroad company, has been before
our supreme court Of errors, where 1T
was decided that Ivy street was pub
lie highway across the railroad track,
and that Hazel was not.
1.-THE action of the court of common
council in the resolution referred to is
evidently for the purpose of testing in
the courts the question of whether
Brewster street is a public highway or
not as far as crossing the tracks of the
railroad company is concerned.
Il have forwarded a copy of the res
olution concerning Brewster street to
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company and have noti-
fled them that unless they remove the
obstruction you will remove the same on
December /, 1899, between the hours of
8 and l o'clock Whether or not Brew
ster street is a public highway ! am
unable to say. I think the matter must
be eventually tried out in the courts.
II have, however no hesitation in say
ing that, whether it is a public highway
or not, under the resolution referred to
it is your duty to remove the obstruc-
tions. The result will Undoubtedly be
an injunction brought by the railroad
when the case will be tested
in court.
Therefore 7 should advise you to
commence on December 1, 1899, between
and 10 o'clock in the morning, to re-
move the distractions on Brewster
street along the tracks of the North
ampton division of the New York, New |
Haven and Hartford Railroad compa-
ny.

upon a charge of obtaining an overcoat
from Tailor 'Goldbaum of Elm street

this amount was made good to Gold
baum by the father of the prisoner.
1t was agreed that the prosecution
should be dropped in case a settlement
was made with the tailor. In view of
the fact that Sanborn had been humil-
lated If not severely punished by his
four days stay in Jail, the city attorney
nolled the complaint upon payment of
the costs, amounting to $9.S7.

LECTURES ON FRENCH LITERA-
TITRE

The French department of the uni
versity has arranged for a series of three
lectures on French literature to be de-
livered in March by Monsieur Henri de
Regnits, one of the greatest of modern
French poets, who is the lecturer this
year in the annual course Of lectures
given by the Circle Francois of Har-
ward.
M de Regnits represents the symbo-
listic school in poetry and is the contin-
uator OF the classical formulate in sym
bolistic form. His poems particularly
attempt to express the suggestivsness
of symbolism and liberties in technical
construction and the use of words which
will best contain the three effects OF
color, harmony and emotion.
The subjects and dates of M. de Reg
nits' lectures at Yale are as follows:
March 5-"Parnassians and Symbol
lists. Origins Of Contemporary Poetry"
March 19-"The Poets Of To-day;
Future Of Poetry
