Ex.Speaker Thps b Reed serses the
situation exactly when re says 1.-THE
remedy for these startling attacks
upon cur presidents is no more public
receptions. " That ought to be clear
enougn, unpleasant as it may be and
reluctant as all presidents have been
to keep away from contact with the
people To continue the system Of
receptions open to everybody is
simply to afford an Unlimited
opportunity to Williams like Czolgosz.
Garfield said that assassination
could be no mere guarded against
than strokes Of lightning, and Grant
replied in a similar strain when it
was suggested that he should go
guarded after the Lincoln-Se9ard
tragedy in 1865. But between going
attended by body guard ard offer
ing such needless exposure as these
receptions involve there, there is apide
differeLce.

Colonial Parsons in Maryland.
BY Frances M. Butler.

In Richard Carvel, hy Winston
Churchill, the most real and striking
figure portrayed is that of the Rev.
Bennett Allen, Rector Of St. Anne s,
Annapolis. His portrait is drawn from
the life and doubtless gives not I'M
fair picture of the man.
Allen had been college conn a1ion

Murray, of Annapolis, from papers of
the Dulaney and Addison families and

"The clergy Of Maryland wrote one
OF their number at this time, 1850, "are
generally better provided for than
those of any other colony, but are less
| respectable The fact was, that the
sole power to appoint clergy lay in the
hands of the Lord Proprietor. Fred
erick was profiigate with no reli gious
principle and no regard for the relig-
ious life Of the Colony.
The parishes were too often filled
with his needy friends and parasites,
some of whom, like Allen, were or
| dained to fill vacancies which he had
promised to them beforehand.
Lord Baltimore sent Allen to the
| Colony with an order to Governor
| Sharpe to give him the best living in
the Colony.
The Governor gave him St. Anne's,

complained to his patron. Lord Balti-
more wrote that A lien was to have two
or three Parishes but the law of the
Colony forbade plurality of lvings
unless with the consent of the vestrics.
Mr.. Allen applied to Mr.. Samuel
Chew, a vestryman Of St. James,

the Church in the Colonies, left incom-
plete in most essential particulars, her
extension and welfare left almost en-
tirely to individual effort, her parishes
at the mercy Of absent and unscrupu-
lous Proprietors, neglected by those
wins claimed jurisdiction over her af-
fairs, the colonial church nevertheless
lived and grew.
The Revolution with all its adverse
influences failed to destroy her. When
at length the American Bishops were
consecrated she entered on new and
vigorous life.
Bishop Meade Of Virginia, writing
of the state of the Colonial Church af-
ter the Revolution, says: "The en-
bers of faith were kept glowing in
many a vacant Parish by the faithful
women who gathered the children on
Sundays and taught them the Church
Catechism. ."-Enston Chmchmdn

HIGH PRESSURE DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements Of society
more numerous. The first effect of
the praiseworthy effort to keep up with
all these things is commonly seen in
weakened or debilitated condition cf
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition Of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t
is clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give.
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimilative func-
tions healthy and active. From per-
sonal knowledge, we can recommend
Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose.
1t acts on all the vital organs, builds
up the whole system, and fits men and
women for these high-pressure days.
First Cavalier-The king can do
no wrong!
Second Cavalier-Ah, yes! And
what wearisome life kings must
be, to be sure!

And it conta ms those little seeds,

And cabbages, 1 wot,
So large that you would think that one
Would shade garden spot;
So with the pack from Washington
You amble forth to sow,
With many drop OF sweat, the seeds
That never care to grow.
How often have piled the rake;
How oft I've lounged about,
With eyes alert to catch the first
Signs of the coming sprout;
In vain. in vain; my hopes have fed,
NV heart has filled with woe
About the seeds from Washington
The seeds that never grow.
But yet each yea: my hopes revive,
As spring rec,othes the tree.

And, foolish like, again 1 WELD

And, like ninny, plant the seeds

When early robins sing,
And winter gay with age and rime,
Makes way for blushing spring:
For long before the meadow lark
Shall sing at eve, know
Those little seeds will come from Park
The ones that always grow.
At sound of springtime's bridal train
Shall wake the drowsy bee,
The birds will hang their nests again
In each familiar tree;
While man from early dawn till dark
Will WELD the ga'cen hoe,
And greet the pack that comes from Park
The seeds that always grow.
Were Mistress Mary living still,
And planting cookie shells,
Intent her garden beds to fill
With rows of silver bells,
From knowledge gained through ages daI k,
Shed buy the best, trow.
And order them from Mr.. Park
The ones that always grow.
The seeds that Congress sendeth here
Are raised by hot debate,
And in our cooler atmosphere
Are slow to germinate;
And though we're grateful for the mark
OF courtesy they show,
Wen buy our garden seeds of Park,
Because they always grow.

A JURY OF HIS PEERS.

Not long before his death Henry W.
Paine, of Cambridge, one of the most
brilliant lawyers of his generation, be-
came interested in case, as matter
of charity, in which a lad Of some Is
years was charged with arson. Paine
defended the boy and offered conclusive
evidence that he was, to all practical
purposes, an idiot and totally irrespon-
sible. Nevertheless the jury in the
case, after a charge from the Court
which was virtually an order for ac-
quittal, brought in a verdict Of guilty.
The presiding judge then addressed
Paine: "You will move for a new trial,
l presume, Mr.. Paine?" Paine rose
with a demeapor that was painful in
its solemnity. ~ thank your Honor
for your suggestion" he said, 'but l
am oppressed with the gravest doubts
whether have the right to move for
new trial in this case. Your Honor,
have already asked for and have re-
ceived for my idiot client the most
precious heritage Of our English and
American common lava trial by
jury of his peers" The judge then
ordered the verdict set aside.
