Should Preachers Be Admitted t

Dr.. Harcourt said Sunday night. "His
solemn countenance, his tore OF voice.
his tiptoeing around the sick led, is q
grave cause for alarm, but when he
approaches the patient and, with sad
countenance, looks into his face, feeis
his pulse and then heaves deep sigh
and says Let us have a few words OF
prayer such dose OF ministerial min

sick, and no doctor can overcome its
effects"
In another part of his sermon the
d ,ctor remarked II fully believe that
many deaths have been fastened by
the unwise visitations of ministers at a

Which is the Better Part !:

Atlanta Journal.
At the age OF Is, after moro than
thirty years OF continuous public life,
Senator Hoar is disposed to take a
rather gloomy view OF the. net result Of
his efforts.
When be entered congress he had a
law practice which paid him 10000 a
year, and was growing steadily. more
profitable. It would probably have
reached $50, 900 year long before now.
He had saved 100000. He thought
that he could retain his practice and
also attend to bis duties in congress.
Like every other man who has made
that experiment, he found that he
could not succeed. One or the other
must be negIected-the law practice or
COMPRESSION al duties.
Senator Hoar has been absolutely
faithful to the latter, and therefore the
former has suffered. In his old age he
finds himself without law practice
and with a meager bank account. The
comfortable sum which he had put
away before he gave himself up to
politics has gradually diminished until
very little of it. is left.
It is natural that Senator Hoar
should contemplate regretfulIy the
handsome fortune which might now
have been his had he eschewed politics
and chung to the law. But has he not
gained as we'll as lost?
Has he not won some things which
money cannot buy7
How can he value the never wager
ing confidence which the people of a
great State have reposed in him fol
more than thirty years the honore
they have heaped upon him?
Is surplus money better than these
things?
It depends, of course. upon the man
upon the point of view.
But to a man of Senator Hoar's
tastes and accomplishments we have nc
doubt that such career he has had Ii
more replete with true satisfaction and
genuine Joy than the making of money

DIDN'T GET THE ,sNIPEs.

Clinton Democrat Catching snipes
in bag at night, or rather we should
have said, causing some one else to
make an effort to catch them, is all the
rage these days among our fun seeking
and irolicksome folks. A few nights
since crowd over at the Murphy House
proposed to young gentleman, who is
sojourning here for a season, and who
hailed from one of the far eastern coun-
ties of the coast, where the people sub
sist mainly on fish, snlpes and in fact
all kinds of game, to go snipe hunting,
explaining to him that some of the
party must stand in a wet bottom, or a
deep ditch, with bag in hand, and
hold the open end up stream while the
others would drive snipe down, and it
would only be necessary to close the
bag when they went in. This unsus-
pecting, but very clever young gentle
man, bit like a hungry jack-fish at a
live roach telling them that he must
be the one to hold the bag, and they
must be sure to drive the snire his
way, as he didn't want to make a eva
ter haul" because when he went back
home he wanted to introduce this new
and profitable sport to his people. So
the conditions were readily agreed
upon, and soon they were going down
the road to Fowler's new ground the
young man in question being in the
lead, walking with elastic step, and at
so rapid q gait that the boys could
scarcely keep up with him, so anxious
was he to bag some snipe. The night
was very dark but they succeeded in
finding very wet place, where the
ditch was deep, and the water flowing
sN iftly just the place to work the trick
to their satisfaction. So they placed
two fence rails in the bottom Of the
ditch, and told the credulous young
gentleman to get in and hold the bag
OPEN till he had caught as many snipe
as he wanted. The boys returned to
tho hotel, but the one with the bag re-
manned in the ditch till 4 late hour Of
tho night, when he 1semelled mouse"
an l got out, pulling In at the hotel
after eleven O'Clock. He is clever,
good natured fellow, and took it as a
joke, and will get his fun out of some
other fellow.
