OLD-F4SHT0NED.

Perhaps those who are in love with the good. old times like the good old fashioned snowstorm that has just de- scended on us. If they do there are many who would be glad to be able to deliver their share in it to them. Peo- pie who have walks to shovel off, streets to clear, railroads to keep open, other things than snow shovels and rubbers to sell, looked on the storm with some sinking of spirits. But they all braced up and went to work with will and the other necessary things. and to-day business will be go- ing on about as usual.
 What a fall was there, my country men If it had showed much faster and harder and longer, we should have had a blizzard but as it didn't we es- capped. Let us be thankful for that and go cheerfuliy on to the February thaw, which bids fair to be a wet and voluminous one. There will be conso- lation ill it, also much that will not be consoling. But the winds of March are surely coming, then the April showers and next the May flowers, Also hurrah for the Fourth of July!

4 BETIER ExPLANATION.

There has been some talk that Rum might possibly control some Governor in making appointments of county commissioners, and there has been some talk that Rum is controlling the present opposition to giving the gov- ernor power to make those appoint .ments. We believe that Rum is pow erful, and active when it sees anything Ito gain by activity, but perhaps the Bridgeport Standard makes a better and more accurate explanation of the situation when it says: There is much respect for the governors opinion and much desire to do whatever can be done to show a due consideration for it, but 1t is as evident as daylight that majority of the members of both houses feel that the representatives of a county are still competent to bear the burdens of county government and to SGlCGL lHS OlilCldlS WHICH WILL DN HlObL acceptable to the people. Having exer- eised that function in the past they are slow to give it up, and all the more dis inclined because the surrender carries with it the acknowledgment of incom- potency, unfaithfulness or some other discredit. The changing of the bus- ness from the shoulders of the county representatives to those of the gover- nor would merely be a shifting of bur- dens to new place, and the burdens would be no lighter, no less liable to gall the bearer and no more certain of securing popular approval.
 Of course the counties don't want the management of county affairs taken away from them, and they don't intend to have it taken away. They are re- senting the notion in much the same way that "the little towns" would re- sent the notion that the governor should appoint the representatives.

OLD BOSTON HOMES.

Much is to be said for the old home steads of the country. Who will speak a word for our old city homes? They have suffered a deeper degradation than have the abandoned farms of the hill town. These nature has, as it were, taken unto herself. Their mystical, weathered grays reflect in reserve the hues of the hills-blue shadowed and breeding. The compensation there is apparent. But what of the old city houses, historic and wide hearthed, whose situation has changed from comfort to squalor? The old North End-what location could have been more typical of our Revolutionary Hill they dared the gales and looked fathers than that? Like old Copp s out over hostile seas, haughtily star 1 ing down the British ships. To-day it l is a little Russia, little Italy, a little of what you will, but nothing great, as it once was. Could we look into the inner life of it's alleys there is no doubt at all but that we should find there heroism and daring, against greater odds than formerly But the noise of the elevated dlspels other l wise possible dreams.
 1 The West End-What better site for old literary >Boston-not yet old beyond the memory of man-than Beacon Hill? The sunsets above the Charles, the shadow of the State House-these things are still here. Pinckney street. little Bohemia-is still respectable and cultured. So West Cedar street and others if you do not pursue them too far down the hill. The Diocesan House at the rise of land-the man at the foot of the hill, sleeping drunken ly i'll the gutter-a kind of distorted Jacobs ladder the north side of Bea- con Hill thus becomes!
 On the summit of Beacon Hill you may imagine the flight of time as arr rested as you pass old doorways, old elms, poets names on the door plates. Around the curve of Brimmer street, one parallel away from the more sor- did aspects of a city, is an isolated re- treat, shadowed by the ritualistic out lines of The Advent.

these streets will take you-beyond the North Station to the west, where the old homes look piteously at you, every vestige of their former glory New cheap fronts are here, short liv- ed, second story bays adorned with evil faces, and more evil leers of growsy occupants attract your notice, and render it all the more pitiful than mere decaying baroness would have been. The streets here seem to indulge in sort of cynical self-moekery in their names of Popular. Fruit and the like. Where are the vanished orchards, Were they once existent? If so, at what a rude awakening must their dryads have flown? Or. perhaps, they pined away in a slow fever at the growing unwholesomeness of the courts.
 The last estate of these houses is far more tragic within than without There is small doubt than in many of them, however. grown poverty stricken, there is, especially in the Ghetto quarters, real home life. There is equally small doubt that iii others what household goods may have been left by the original tenants, must suffer the utmost degradation of the hearth.

 The town of Milton, Massachusetts. isn't famous for its material things, but it is going to be famous for it's spirit-a spirit which seems to be even as high as the famous Yale spirit. Mill ton is in full and active rebellion against the authority of the State in the matter of the dog muzzling law The selectmen of the town paid no attention to the general request sent out by the Chief of the Cattle Bu- reau of the Board of Agriculture to all towns and cities, and when a demand was made upon them to adopt a mug zIing order they flatly refused, The Milton people are strongly opposed to restraining or muzzling the five hum dred dogs in their possession, and their selectmen do but reflect local sentiment in resisting the demand. The State officials have the power to en- force the regulation in such a case, but 1t is question whether they can utilize the local police for the purpose. The chairman of the Board of Select men is also judge of the Superior court for that section, so that the &C., tion which has been taken is perhaps held to be legal.
 This creates an interesting situation. The MiItonites will have much sympa- thy and approval in Massachusetts and some in Connecticut. Indiscriminate dog-muzzNng is not yet very popular.

Kansas has developed a great de- mand for coffin boxes lately. The de- mand, when first notit ed, made the producers of that kind of commodity wonder whether the death rate of the Sunflower State suddenly had been quadrupled. Not even the undertakers
 through whom most of the orders passed, could tell what the boxes were used for. A couple of weeks ago an elderly woman at lola, Kansas, ordered a box from the local undertaken. say ing that it might be of any kind so it was only adult size" This puzzled and scared the undertaken to such an ex- tent that he placed himself in commu- nication with the police, The resulting investigation brought out the fact that the box was to be used as an improvis- ed divan, or couch, and that such boxes

AN APOLOGY.
10 those not acquainted with the causes
and motives of our articles on church af-
fairs and to those who do not believe
publicity even OF wrongs in church mat
tiers, we offer an apology. All who have
read the RECORD for twenty years are fully
apprised that we are no politicians tool
nor priests puppet; that when we are con-
sclous OF our W rectitude we have
enough sand to stand up-even alone
against wrong.
What redress has the people against
such asperities-moral roughness-except
the administration of a dose of purgatory
medicine by the (printer's "devil and his
lmps," with the purpose and hope that it
may work off the ascldity of expressions,
inconsistent with scriptural Christianity
as laid down by John Wesley, and result
in great good to relieve others in the fu-
ture OF the remorseless criticism from Sam
Jones imitators.

the tongues Of men and of angels, and
have not charity (love) l am become as
sounding brass, or a thinking cymbol."

followers of St. Paul be wise imitators

JOHN WESLEY SAYS,

In his sermon on S%criptural Christian
ity (text Acts 4:31) said; whether the
gifts Of the Holy Ghost were designed to
remain in the church throughout allages,
is not needful to decide. In the infancy
of the church, God divided them with a
sparing hand. Did all speak with ton
CUES of fire. No, in no wise. Perhaps
not one in a thousand. Probably none
but the teachers in the church and only
some of them: Read | Cor. II. 1t was
therefore, for a more excellent purpose
than this, that ''they were filled with the
Holy Ghost" 1t was to give them, love,
joy, peace, gentless, goodness, faith,
weakness and temperance.
Glove is not pulled up. 1t aliases .
to the dust every soul wherein it dwells.
He neither sought nor receiyedthe praise
of men. He was weak, gentle and easy
to be entreated. He was the greatest
distance from cruelty and wrong, from
unjust or unkind action. With the same
care. did he set a watch before his lips
lest he offend i'll tongue, either against
justice or against mercy or truth.
Wesley goes on to say :" Many are
more consecrated to God, called 10 min
lister in holy things, Are w then pat
ternu to the rest. Hath lie then made us
able ministers of the new covenant?
Where then are the seals of our APOSTLE
ship?" Among other things, "Do we lord
over, Gods heritage? Or are we the
least, the servants of all? Are we inn
patient OF a~ffronts? Or do we turn the
other also; not resist the evil, but over
coming evil with good2 Have we a
