How Bryan Is Viewed.

Rev. Julius E. Grammar, an able
and highly esteemed Episcopal minis
ter of Baltimore, and no supporter Of
Mr.. Bryan in the past, in aIetter to the
Baltimore American, ultra Republican
organ, says:
The public effort of Mr.. Bryan was
a remarkable event in the history of
the discussion of the issues nov before
the people. The audience was phe-
nomenal. The building served as a
grand type of the growth of this fair
city Of ours. The speaker was, for
personal appearance. the handsomest
man in the house, and 4 magnificent
man in the endowment of speech, OF
voice and of power to move a multi
tude. Never have we heard an orator
who more fully met all the anticlpa-
lions of a great audience. His wit
was sparkling, his satire pointed and
piercing. His dramatic power was
seen in his appeal to the love of the
individual citizen, as above the price
of money. His quotations of scripture
were admirable and reverent, his allu-
sions to PLATE and the Saviour very
eloquent What impressed me parti-
cularly was his desire not to prolong
the applause, by drawing the public
attention to one salient point after an
other. His speech was full of thought,
and one matter after another was han
died with consummate skill and elab-
crate detail. He is a master of assem-
blies. He is a master of the passions.
He surpasses all public speakers of the
country for will and emphasis. for
ease and grace of delivery, and for
power to win their admiration for
eloquence and high sentimentality.'

as doubling his joys and halving his
sorrows.' That may be compliments
ry, but it would seem to be rather hard
On the woman. For in plain terms it
means that where things are going
we'll with the man his wife makes them
go better. But when things are going
ill with him, he expects the wife to
share half his burden. And there's
more truth than poetry in this presen-
tation of masculine selfishness. Men
don't appreciate the fact that the
strain of motherhood alone is a bur-
den bigger than all the loads that rest
upon male shoulders. They see the
wife grow thin, pale, nervous and
worn without a thought that she is
over burdened. Among the pleasant
letters received by Dr.. Pierce are those
from husbands who have walked up
before it was too late to the crushing
burdens laid upon the wife. and in
the search for help have found in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription a res
| torative which has given back to the
mother the health of the maiden and
the maiden's happiness. Favorite Pre-
scription always helps, and almost al
way cures. 1t has perfectly cured
ninety. eight out OF every hundred wo-
men who have used it when afflicted

THE JUDGES VACATION.

Our Bills q judge in the city now.
And a mighty smart, one they allow;
He sits on the bench as grave and just
As an animated marble bust,
never think, if you'd see
him there
With his rigid face and his solemn air,
Andhearin' him lay the statutes down,
That he was a kid from RuraltOWn.
But, say! If yon'd git a glimpse of him
When he tOsses aside his duties grim
And swaps the Code and his legal role
For his farmin' clothes and his hshln'
pole,
With a rusty can and a broken scoop
A-diggin' worms by the old hen-cOop,
You'd say that he never was nothln'
more
Than a farmers boy to the very core.
The whole year round. If he'd confess,
He's just awaitin' for that recess.
For be amt no more'n out sight of the
train
A drivin' home through the old back
lane,
Than a shout leaps out to the echoes
round,
Like the soul OF JOY that been prison
bound,
And he laughs with a laugh that tells
you plain
He 8 shucked the judge for the boy
again.
And when be leaps from the wagon
floor,
To nestle in mothers arms once more
You know he holds, all courts above
The Jurisdiction of mothers love;
And LII bet, though he honors through
and through

| He's prouder far when he lounges fret
| On the rustic bench meath the OLE
elm tree.
I don't know nothing oflaw. of course
But 1t comes to me with 4 growing
force
That Justice can never 20 astray
When mixed with a love of nature

And 1 think when our boy to the cit,

Brimful of the teachings the countr
grows,
And the wisdom pure that its charm
instill,
That the law is safe in the hands OF Bill
