In Pennsylvania are such as must beget a

custom labor combinations, boycotts and

But the belief in protection, by drawing the

this tendency, and hounding them upon a
false sepnt, diverts them from the only read
by which the rights et labor can be secured.

might lead them devoutly te wish tbe nat

HELPLESSNESS OF THE LABORER.
The whole philosophy of the labor ques
tien may be seeu as clearly upon a Pennsyl
vania coal estate as amid the primitive indus
trial conditions which obtain In Connemara
or Bkje. Frem zenith te nadir, that part of
me glebe embraced in one et these coal es
tates is the exclusive property of one man. or
corporation. Other men can only live en his

pleasure and en terms agreed te with htm.
flaring an absolute power ever tbe natural
means of livelihood, he has thus a power
ever the laborer", which Is only modified by
their power of moving away, Bnd of making
combinations tunen themselves by which
be can beceuipelled te treat with tbem In the
ftKKregate, and can be put te less or Inconve
nience by tbelr refusal te werK. In the com
plex Industries of the great city which Ilea
at tbe ether extreme el the Industrial scale,
where much labor Is devoted te exchanging,
te tbe rendering of services, and te tbe work
ing tin of materials that have been taken
from ineir original natural reservoirs, the re
lation between land and labor is net se obvi
ous, especially as there are many ether
monopolies of various kinds that share with
the monopoly of land tbe earnings wblch
the helpfulness of labor compels It te yield
up. But the same relation still obtains. Ne
matter where be exists, man Is a land ant
mal who can only live en and from land,
and all nf whose production Is but the chang
ing In place or form of what he finds already
in existence en the superficies of the glebe.
Tbe morn laborer, unless he has such special
skill nr ability as makes a peculiar demand
for his services, Is as helpless In the one
place as tbe ether, and every avenue of em
ployment Is crowded with applicants who,
disinherited el tbelr natural rUbt te employ
themselves, must compete with each ether
fei tbe wages et an employer.
Hew monopoly begets monopoly, and
special privilege leads te general corruption,

riug ridden Pennsylvania, with Its railroad

Oil company and its pig-iron " statesmen."

New that a great aud appalling majority of
our New Year's resolutions hate already
come te grief by compound fracture, It would
be as geed a time as any, for theso who have
net done It before, te form another, new reso
lution, soberly, seriously, and te carry It out
firmly am! perseverlngly. I mean the reso
lution te start and keep up a live library .
net n public library, though there Is large
room ler ene in our city, but a private one,
ter personal and family use 1 am quite sure
that nothing mere sensible could t done by
snyeue than just this ; nothing cspible of
giving mere solid pleafiue , nothing that
would be mure far retching In Its bencflclsl
results.
A oeoti LinnAn net iieeeully a large
one In a house Is tbe touudatlen upon
which the future Intelligence, culture and
reflnomeiit or the family largely depends.
Upen It are built, rather in It ant rooted, the
chief factors el the educ.itlen, the mental and
moral grew th and expansion aud elevation
et character, which shall give the children
and children's children el your home these
tastes, Inclinations, hablLs and abilities that
shall secure for tbem recognition and stand
ing in the society of tbelr fellow -citizens In a
few years te come. Se, also, the Intelligence,
character and standing of the whole cemmu
nity are actually determined by the number
and quslity el the private libraries te be
found in the homes of Its citrens. In this
respect they de what mere money can ueTer
da The latter can de no mere than charao charae
terire a place. In the eyes of the world, as " a
rich town," or a " cay plav?," or a " magnltl
centcity." The former will stamp upon It
the marks et '-a highly cultivated placts" " a
community of superior Intelligence," rr "a
very redned people." And the latter charac
ter every one will admit Is preferable te the
former. It Is an advance upon the former In
the scale of human progress and clvlllzstlen.
ler, alter an, is net me great ami only legiti
mate end of wealth the procuring el the
means el refinement and culture
That's why I consider an Inheritance of a
collection of geed books worth mere te the
heir than au Inheritance of mere pecuniary
wealth. It gives him direct the means of
education and culture, without running the
risk of his se misapplying the money or
ether property that It would degrade instead
of elevating him. And very likely, tee, it
gives him with the books also the Inclination,
at least tbe incipient ttste, for rightly using
them. "Se true are tbe well-known lines of
Wordsworth, that books
" Are a substantl'U werM. both pure and eoeai
He'ind tht-'-e, with tendrils strong a flesh and
bleed,
Our pastime and our happiness will grew "
Ox this subject Mr. Beecher has written
some characteristically wise and strong
werda Indeed what subject Is there en
which he has net" He sys, and I shall
quoteat some length: "If en visltlne the
dwelling of a man of slender means we find
that he contents himself wlih cheap carpets
and very plain furniture in order that he may
purchase books, he nes at once in our es
teem. Beeks are net made for furniture, but
there is nothing else that se beautifully fur
nishes a heue. The plainest row of books
that cloth or paper ever covered Is mere sig
nificant of reduement tbnn tbe most elaber
atel carved etagere or sideboard. Give us a
beue furnished with books rather than fur
niture. B'lth, If you can, but books at any
rate' Te spend several data In a friend's
house, and hnnger for something te rial,
while you are treading en cestiy carpets n J
sitting en luxurious chairs, and sleeping
up m down, is as if one were bribing your
body for tbe eake et cheating your mind. Is
it net pitiable te see a man growing rich,
augmenting the comforts of home, and
lavishing money en ostentatieua upholstery,
upon the table, upon everythlng but what
the t-eul needs T We knew cf many and
many a rich man's house where It would net
be safe te ask ter tbe commonest English
clasMcf.JJA few pictorial moos rDslties,
together with the stu:k of religious books of
his "persuasion," and thst Is all 1 Ne poets,
no essayist, no historians, no travels or bi
ographies, no select fiction, no curious legen
dary lore. But the wall paper cost three dol
lars a roll, and tbe carpet cost four dollars a
yard '"
On the same subject he continues- "A
home without books is llke a room without
windows. Ne man has a right te bring up
bis children without surrounding them with
books, if be has the means te buy tbem.
It Is a wrong te his family. Itecheats tbem '
Children learn te read by belng in the pres
ence of books The love of knowledge comes
with reading and grows upon it. And the
leve of knowledge In a young mind Is al
most a warrant against the interior excite
ment of passion and vices. Let us pity these
peer rich men who live barrenly In great
bookless houses' Let us congratulate the
peer that, In our dsy, bejks are se cheap that
a man may every year add a hundred vol
umes te his library for the prlce which his
tobacco nnd bis beer would cost mm. Among
the earliest ambitions le be excited in clerk,
workmen, journeymen, etc, Indeed, among
all that are struggling up in life from nothing
te something, is thatcif ewnlngand constantly
adding te a library of geed books. A little
library growing larger every ye r Is au hon hen hon
erablo part of a young man's history. It Is
a man's duty te have books. A library Is
net a luxury, lut one of the neoessaries of
life."
Every word el that is true tn gospel. And
it might be corroborated by the to-tlmeny of
nearly all the greatest men In all the various
walks et life from old Richard de Bury,
who In the feurtf enth century wrote his con
viction that "the library, therefere, or wlidem
is mere precious than all riches ; and nothing
that can be wished for Is worthy te be com
pared with It," down te our own practical
Dr. Helmes, who se naively tells us hew he
was "brought up" In his father's library,
and claims that a child ought even In tender
est lntancy be aliowed te " tumble about
among books."
"It we ronie downfera moment," said
Geerge Dawsen at Birmingham some fuw
years age, " and leek at tbe bare and Imme
diate utilities of a library, we find that here a
man gets hlmself ready ter hln calling, arms
blmseir for his profession, finds out the facts
that are te determine his trade, prepares biro bire
belr ter his examination. The utilities of It
are endie si and priceless. It Is, tee, a place
of pastime ; ler man has no amusement mere
lnnocent, mere sweet, mera gracious, mere
elevating, and mere fortifying thau he can
find in a library. A library Is
the strengtbener or all that is great in life,
and the repeller of what is petty and mean ;
and half the gestdp et society would perlsh
li the books that are truly worth reading
were read." What be said of tbe homes of
the majority in Kngland la euly tee true also
of these In our own country. "Tney can
give you a gorgeous bed, wi h lour pests,
marvelous adornments, luxurious hangings,
and lacquered shams all round ; they can
Kive you dinners nauseam, and wine that
ene cn, or cantiet, honestly praise. But
useful books are almost tbe last things that
are te be found there ; and wheu the mind la
empty et tbo-e things that books can alone
fill It with, then the seven dovllsef pettlne-s,
frivolity, faihtenablentHs, gentility, suiudai,
small Blunder, and the chronicling et small

I w ill refer te only ene of many golden para
graphs te lie found en the subject SMttered
throughout Ills wrltlugs. In his "Sesame
and l.llles," he says: " I would urge upon
every young man, as the beginning et his
due and wlvi prevision for 111' household, te
ebtalu as seen as he can, by the severest
economy, a restricted, serviceable and stead
lly however slewlv Increasing series of
books for use through lire j making his little
library, of all the furniture In his room, the
most studied and docerattvo piece . every
velume having ItartMlgned place, like a little
statue In Its niche, and one et the earliest aud
strictest lessens te the children of the house
being hew te turn the pases et their ew n
literary possessions llghtlv and deliber
ately, with no chance or tearing or deg's
ears."
St t it advice Is comtueuly met by the plea
that few people of the humbler classes can
aflenl te buy books. That tbl, bow ever, Is a
peer excuse and qulte Invalid, Is proved by
the fact that we find mere useful books, pro
portionally, among the poorer classes than
among these who have plenty of money. We
haveahtindred families in Lancaster, ter ex
aui pie, who could easily atlerd te have libraries
numbering thousands of volumes, but who
have no libraries worthy the name at alL
They can atlerd It i for they speud enough en
brie a-brac, en horses, ou furniture, In par
ties, en the table, and in dress, everv vear te
supply net only their own houses with the
best of literature, but enough also te found
and furnish, what our cltv much needs, a
geed public library as well.
1 WILL close my talk en this aublect by
quoting the true words et Prof. Baldwin,
one or the most reliable literary guides in
the country. He Bays in his charming little
volume entitled "The Boek Leter," " Yeu
plead roverty the insufficiency of your sal
ary But de you net spend for ether things,
entirely unnecessary, much mere every vear
than the cost of a few books Tbe Immediate
outlay need net be large, the returns which

Net only will the possession of a reed li
brary add te the means of your enjoyment
and increase your capacity for doing geed, it
may, if you ate worldly-minded and we all
are put you In the way of occupying a mere
desirable position and earning a' mere satis
factory reward ter your labors."
In short, It Is net only a duty te ourselves,
te our children, and te the "community of
which we are a part, but It also pay. really
and substantially pays, te hate a geed,

THE DEMON Or TllE riltn.
In tha deepest death of midnight.
While the sad and solemn swell
Still was floating faintly echoed
Frem the forest's chapel bell.
Faintly, filtering, floating,
O'sr the table waves of air,
Thst were through the mianlifht rolling,
Chafed and pillowy with the telling.
In my chamber 1 lay dreaming.
And my dretms were dreams freahadewed
Ol a heart foredoomed with care
Aa tbe last long lingering echo
Ot tne midnight's mystic chime,
I.UpIng through ths sable billow
Ot the thither shore of time.
Leaving In the starless silence
-N'et a shadow or a trace,
In a quivering sigh departed
from my conch ; In fear I started
Started te my feet In terror.
Fer my dream's phantasmal error
Painted In the flttul Are
A frightful, fiendish, flamtng face
On the red hearth's reddish centre,
Frem a blazing knot of ealt,
Seem te grin and gibe ths phantom,
As in terror I awoke,
And my slumbering eyellda straining
as I struggled te the fleer
Hill In that deadly vision veemlng,
Turned my gaze toward the gleaming
Hearth, and then, e Ged I I siw li,
And from lis naming Jawa It
Spat a ceaseless, seething, hiding,
Bubbling, gurgling stream of gore.
Speechless, strncz with ateny silence,
Frezen te the fleer 1 steed,
Till my very brain seemed hissing
With that hissing, babbling bleed,
Till I felt my life stream oezln;.
Oozing from theas lambent tips.
Till the demon ssemed te name me,
Then a wondrous cilm o'ercaxe me,
And I fell back en my pillow.
In apparent soul eclipse.
Thus, as In death's seeming shade,
In the ley pall of fear,
1 lay stricken, came a hearse ana
Hideous murmur te my ear,
Came a murmur like the murmur
Of auasstns In their sleep.
Mattering, higher, higher, higher,
" I am demon of the tire,
I am arch flend of the tire.
And each blazing reef's my pyre,
And ray sweetest Incense Is
The bleed and tears my victim uct-p.
flew 1 revel en the prairie,
Hew 1 rear amidst ths pines,
ltew I laugh as from the vlllagu
O'er the snow the red flame shine,
Hew I hear the shriek of terror,
With a Ufa In every breath.
Hew I scream with lambent iinphter
Aa I hurl each crackling ratter
Down the tell abyss et Are,
L ntll higher, higher, higher,
Leap tbe blgh priests of my altar,
In tbelr merry dance of death
" 1 am monarch of the tire,
I am royal king of death,
World encircling with the shtdnw
Of Its deem upon my breath,
tlh the symbol of hereafter
Gleaming from my fatal face
I command the eternal fire.
Higher, higher, hither, higher,
Leap my ministering demons,
Llks phantasmagoric lemans
lliigjlng universal nature
In tbelr hideous embrace."
Then a sembre silence shut me
In her solemn, shrouded sleep.
And I slumbered like aa InUti,
In ths cradle of the deep,
Till the belfry from ths lere.it
Trembled with tha mat lu streku
And the marllns from tbe edge
OI their llchen hidden ledge
bhliinnmtd through the russet arrLes,
While the Hm ht, tit tern files marches
Llie a routed army struggling
Through tbe lerrlsd ranks of ealr.
Through my open fretted casement
Filtered In a tremulous note.
Frem tbe tall and shady linden,
Where the roeln swelled hla note,
Tiny wooer, bravu breasted robin,
Quaintly calling ter his mate
Frem my slumber, nlsbtmsre ridden,
With the memory of that dire
Demen In my central Are,
In my eye. Interior mirror
Llke the shadow of a fate.
Hut the fiendish Are had ametililertd
Te a white and formless heap,
And no knot et oak as blazing
As It blazed upon my sleep,
Hut en the red hearth's leddest centre,
Where tbe demon's fucu hit shown,
The shadowy lightning seemed te linger,
And te point wlih spectral finger
Te a lllbltt, ma slve, golden,
On a table carved and olden,
And 1 bowed and said i " All power
li of Ued and Cled alone."

about quarter sessions cases. His opinion Is
that tee free an Indulgence of liquor sends
nearly all the surety of the peace and assault

returned, he said, are very trivial, bnt under
the law the magistrate is bound te return
them. He was asked whether tbe action of
tbe commissioners as te magistrates' bills
did net swell the trial lieu He believed It
did, and said If tbe commissioners had dealt
fairly with the aldermen and Justices, and
paid them their fees la dismissed cases, they
would return fewer cases. As managed new
the magistrates have great difficulty In get
ting their bills approved, and rather than
have that trouble they will return cases te
court The records chew, he said, that at
least one-half of all cases returned reach court
from the offices of the aldermen of the city.
He believed that magistrates and constables
should be paid for their services, but had no

ruining his dome. tic happiness. Contrary te
tbe orthodox method of ruination In this par
ticular line of vice, he did net frequent gam
bling rooms, clubs or saloons te find tbe
bread path, but stumbled Inte It right In his
own house. He had taught his wife te play
poker two or three winters age, and fre
quently since then they had frleudly little
sessions, using buttons for chips. Tbe ether
night, though, he brought home a box of the
genuine, nlcestackset whites, reds and blues.
" New," he said, "I'll Jut show you hew
poker Is played among the boys. 1 never
could take any Interest in it with them cussed
buttons, but this seems natural. We'll call
it a dollar limit ; whlte's a nickel, red's a

Mrs. It. didn't answer; that Is, she didn't
say anything, but ber leek said, "That's all

way this time, and he pulled in quite a few
chips. Mrs. Ilrewn was dealing, a third
party, Hrewn's brother, was a looker en at
this period, and of course it was Brown's
age.
"I'll come Iu," said Mrs. It.
" Oh, or course you will," said Ilrewn j
"well, then, put up another dollar and you
won't have se many chips."
" I'll raise you a dollar, James," said his
spouse.
"Yeu will, will you? Dellar bettern

Mrs. Ilrewn Just came In and drew two
cards. Ilrewn thought he'd keep his, and
when his wire chipped without looking be
promptly raised the limit. After carelully
looking them ever the lady thought she'd
raise It another dollar. This made Brown
