A LITTLE JEREMIAH.

Rev Dr. Kelley of Nashville Tenn has brought in
an Indictment against modern society. with three
counts. First grand opera second horse shows third
the society columns in the newspapers
Waving the beneHt Of a demurrer which might it
is submitted, be properly maintained. TO the pro
prety Of Dr. Keeys constituting himself grand Jury
without the assistance of any Of his brother ministers
On the merits the charges in the reverend genuemans
indictment are absurd
What possible harm can come from grand opera?
If his reverence had specified the ballet that would
perhaps be another matter But the grand opera has
always has been considered an eleyating influence.
The churches, in their chors frequently have grand
opera airs and not well played and sung by the
singers Of the regular operate roupes Is it possible
air well played is wrong and i'll played is right?
As Brutus did, we pause, Dr. Kelley, for a reply.
The next charge is that horse shows, if given to
show horses would not be so bad but where horses
are the smallest part OF the affair" they very
wicked indeed. This is ATTACK the pretty ladies
who attend the horse shows. Fie, DR.. Kelley, for
shame! 1t can not be that the pretty ladies were all
that you the horse show Why there pretty
ladies all over thanks to gracious heaven, on the
streets in the shops. at the grand opera you disap
prove Of at the tbeater. too, against which you
haven't word to say (the reverend doctor likes good
play, small blame to him, the Irish say, aye, and
there are pretty ladies at church too as many as al any
other place. What 90 you make Of that DR.. Kelley?
And then, when come to the final charge Of the
wkeduess Of the newspaper society column. what are
say TO that? 1t not be that the reverend
gentleman is serious. Why should not the newspaper
chronicle the events in society as well as other events?
The newspapers nowadays print sermons. They all
print church news What harm is done by the society
notes? People want to know what is going on in so
ciety II they don't find il in the newspapers they get
the from their friends in the form OF scattered
gossip The newspaper simply puts all the news OF
this sort together that everybody interested in il
can read it But there isn't any harm in this and the
reverend gentleman has not and can not show that
/ there is.
Dr. Kelley evidently belongs TO that class which in
the slang OF the day, called chronic kckers" Il
he insists that his cloth entities him more dignhed
appenation, even when he is the object Of attack il
may be said that he is little jeremiah. The great

We know, don't we, you and I,
OF placid, hidden pool
Where lecks OF sun and shadows lie,
And zephyrs whisper cool
Where mirror-like the surface throws
The image OF each bloom that blows,
Limned gainst an azure sky.
We know. don't We just we two,
Where messy carpets spread.
And where the skies are always blue
That arch far overhead;
A nook just known TO our two selves,
The trysting place Of gnoules and elves,
And where our VOWS were said
Al, how description haits and lsgs
In painting such scene;
The heavy, heetling, slaty eragsi
The slopes OF living green;
The river curving far away
The ripples where the sunbeams play,
The syeanores that lean
The sylvan sands, the grooming birds;
The far of monotone
OF the wide sea the lowing herdsi
The trees all ivy-grown,
And evry bud and bloom and BUSH
The birds shrill cry the pregnant hush.
And We two all alone.
We remember, you and I,
For we may not forget
The words that put our childhood by;
I seem TO see you yet
And hear you answer, half afraid,
And see the glorious light that played
In your blue eyes tear-wet
Now we have wandered from the glen
But We are side by side
We ne'er may see those scenes again,
The world is big and wide;
But in our hearts its memry lives,
Lie gives US all that love Ger gives
Companions true and tried.
