Faith. Hope and Charity.

A young lady Sunday school teacher of this city tells this story of the re- suit of an attempted application of the principles of economies:
 For some time she had endeavored to impress upon the mind Of one of her charges the names of the three qualities, faith, hope and charity. One Sunday she presented the pupil of the poor memory with three new shining coins, penny. five cent piece and a dime.
 'The penny" she said, represents faith, the five cent piece hope, and the dime charity. Keep these coins and every time you look at them think of what they stand for"
 The Sunday following the teacher re- viewed the lesson of the week before and called upon the holder of the coins to produce them and give their names in proper sequence. The youngster shuffied from one leg to the other stammered, blushed and seemed altoN gether overcome with modification Finally he burst out with:
 Please. Miss Fanny, aint got nutin' left but faith. Baby swallered hope and mamma took charity and bought ten cents worth of meat ter make hamburg steak out uv.r-Phila- delphia Times.

Good Law.

It is gratifying to note that Frank B. Weeks, lieutenant governor of Con- necticut, who after the death of Gov ernor Lilley succeeded to the duties and responsibilities of the executive office. is to be conceded the full rights and title of the position. An opinion to that effect rendered by Marcus H. Holcomb, attorney general, gives a careful review of the requirements of the state constitution and so interprets provisions bearing on the situation. Moreover, the attorney general finds a precedent in the federal government The constitution says in the case of the removal from office of the presi- dent. his death, resignation or inabil- ity. the powers and duties of the posi- ton shall devolve upon the vice pres ident" And there, have been several instances of the sort, the vice presi- dent in each case taking the oath and assuming the authority of president and being given the title and eaolu ments connected with the place. The decision of the Connecticut attorney general seems to embody good law and good sense, and should put stop to any further questioning of Governor Weeks title.-Troy Times.
