There are several book reviews and the "Contributors' Club." II. This bright little poem is by Mary E. Bradley, in St. yicholas: THE reason- wnr. "When I was at the party." Said Bern (aged jnst four). "A little girl fell off her chair. Kisht down upon the floor; And all tho other little girls Began to laugh, but me I didn't laugh a single bi i," Said Betty, seriously. "Why not?'" her mother asked her. Fall ot delight to And That Bettj Lies her little heart.' Had been so sweetly kind. "Why didn't you laugh, darling? Or don't you like to tellT" I airin't lansu."' said Hetty. " "Cause it was me that fell!"' And here is uhat Bishop Huntington says in the Forum about the shortcomings of the church: More than half tho religious organizations, large or small, are at present practical contra dictions of the sermon on the mount It does not need an ostentatious hierarchy to open the door for the "prince of this world," of whom tho Savior said, "he hath nothing in me." let tine him in where he does tenfold the mischief lie could do by persecution, seductions, cr In fidel arguments outside. He buys up the prop erty, holds the keys of pew doors, puts rich families in the foremost seats, hires and pars the choir, raises funds by lotteries and theatri cals, tells the -lower classes" to stay out in tne etreets or patronizes them with a mission chapel in the outskirts, makes a fashion plate of the female worshipers sees to it that parish offices and all other marks of distinction are assigned to prosperous merchants, politicians hnd leaders of society never to mechanics and day laborers who hare no qualifications except piety and good sense suits the preacher to the tastes of tho rulmgset, nun "runs the concern." Wh.it is all this parochial waminonism and Fnubbery. but a snrrender of the kingdom of the crucified to his adversary? Where is the divine brotherhood? Meantime, prudent care Is taken to keep the holy language and hand some ceremonial safe, and not to put St. Dives into the calendar. In Pittsburg this paragraph, from Mr Boutwell's article in the Forum, irill find no lack of commending readers: It should be noticed that the tar in has not de Stroed our foreign trade, nor is there any evi dence that it ha diminished it, although the cirrjinghae been transferred to foreign bot tmns. In 1S70 our trade with the outsido world aggregated JS2S 000,000, and In ISao it had l f ached the enormous sum of J1.04T W0.CD0. If TJ per cent of the carrying trade were in Amer ican bottoms, there would not be employment for one-half the men of New England who are how engaged in manufactures and in the de pendent arts and trades: whiM for women and children sea-going pursuits furnish no occupa tion, but the absence upon the ocean of fath ers, husbands and sons creates more desolate homes than can now be numbered on the hill sides of New England. Tins great increase in our foreign trade has come while the prutectlve ostem has been in operation, and no snch irain can be shown during the free trade period, that is. from 1832 to 1861. Nor is the volume of man- nf..tnri.l nnw KTnnrfH 9T1 ll.sil-nificant ttm in the first U months of the last fiscal year ourA export of manufactures amounted to nearly $138,0130,000. or more than 17 per cent of the to tal exports: and our export of like articles in May, 1S90, showed a gainoter the month of Mav. 1&S9, at the rat6 of about 30.000.000 a year. Thus it must be admitted that even under the protective system our manufactures find a mar Let In other countries." Here is what the Nationalists want, Mr. Efward Bellamy being their spokesman: Stated in general terms, tho policy proposed by Nationalists is tho snccesslve nationalizing or municipalizing ot public, services and branches ot industry, and the simultaneous or ganization of the employes upon a basis of guaranteed rights, as branches of the civil service of the country; this process being con tinned until the entire transformation shall have been effected. I think 1 am safe in saying that all National ists agree that the first business to be national ized should be the telegraph and telephone services. Another extension of tho present postofuce bu-incss which is advocated by Nationalists as necessary to brine it up to the degree of effi ciency attained in other countries, relates to the establishment of a parcel express service. As to the method of nationalizing railroad", various opinions may be held. At present, my own is that the purchase of the roads outright would be uncalled for and unwise, and that che best course would be the assumption of a per manent Government contr3l of the system. The present security holders would continue to receivesuch reasonable dividends. In a just valuation of the plants, as might bo earned. Fourthly, Nationalists propose immediate legislation looking toward governmental con trol of the coal mines of the country. If tho corporate control of railroads amounts to a system for enabling private persons to tax the commerce of the country for their private profit, corporate control of tho coal mines is in effect a system for enabling private persons to tax the manufactures of the country for their private profit. Firthly. Nationalists everywhere are agitat ing iu favor of the assumption and conduct by municipalities of local public services, such as transit, lighting, heating, and the water supply, which are now rendered by corporations; and they vehementlv oppose the grantiug of any further franchises for such purposes. Nationalists advocate laws in every State making obligatory the education of children during the hole school year, up to 17 years, forbidding their employment during the school year, and providingfor tberequisite assistance, from public funds, of children whose parents are unable to support them during school at tendance. It is neld by Nationalists that the fact that a child's parents are poor, or oven thriftless, is no sufficient reason for condemn ing the child to the life-long serfdom of ignor ance, and that it is the duty of the State to see that children arc not so condemned. Aud this is Joe Jefferson's account of playing "Rip" iu the Catskills: There is in the village of Catskill a Rip Van irnt.in r-i..

I nAnnnfail and n-han T MirH wc ma- f fdo wortny president and other members of the club, among whom was young Nicholas Ved der. who claimed to be a lineal descendant of the original "old Nick." Emulating the spirit of evolution, tho citizens had turned the skat ing rink into a theatre, and a very respectable looking establishment it made, though in Its transition state the marks of rollers did "clin? to it still." 1 was taking a cun of tea at the table In the hotel when I was attracted to tho colored waiter, who was giving a graphic and detailed account of this legend ol the Catskill Mountains to one of the boarders who sat near ly opposite to me. "Yes, sah," he continued; "Rip went up into de mountains, slep' for 20 years", and when he come back hyar In dis berry town his own folks didn't know him." "Why." said his listener, "you don't believe the story's truer "True? Ob course it is. Why," pointing at me, "dat's de man." The town was filled with farmers and their wives who had come from far and near to see the ODeuing of the new theater, and also, I think I may say, to see for the flrt time the story which Washington Irving had laid almost at their very doors. , As I drove to the theater the rain came down in torrents, the thunder rolled and the light ning played around the peaks of the distant mountains under the very shadow of which I was to act the play. It gave me a very strange sensation. When I got to the theater I could scarcely get in, the crowd was so great about the door countrymen trying to get into the ticket office instead of the proper entrance, and anxious and incredulous old ladies endeavor ing tu squeeze past the doorkeeper but refus ing to give up their tickets. Tho rush over, the play began. The audienco was intent on the scene as it progressed and seemed anxious not to lose a word. Dunne the scene in the last act where -Rip inquires of the innkeeper, "Is this the village of Falling Water?" I altered the text and substituted the correct name, "Is this the village of Catskill?" The crowded house almost held its breath. The name of the village seemed to bring the scene home to every man, woman and child that was looking at it. From this time on the interest was at its f nil tension. Surely 1 had never seen an audi ence so struck with the play before. There was a reception held at the club after the play, and the worthy President in intro ducing me to the company was so nervous that ue announced me as "air. wasnington Irving."

So ciety, the Stage, Music, Secret Societies, Art, Grand Army, Science, Electricity, Education, Military and Sport are all carefully handled. Few remedies, after 60 years trial and constant use, retain their position as the best; yet. such is the case with Dr. D. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge.

GLEANQS FBOH CHDKCH FIELDS The fact that the Presbyterian Committee on Bcviiion of the "Westminster Confession of Faith chose Pittsburg as thelplace for their meeting, is evidence that here is one of the strongholds of the Presbyterian faith. Our city is bound to occupy a prominent place in the history of American Presby terianism. More than a half a century ago this was the field where the giants of this denomination measured swords over Albert Barnes, who was the leader in the new school movement, which ultimately sepa rated from the Presbyterian Church. After a separation of 30 years, old and new school concluded to come together, and in 1869 the union was consummated in this city. Here the United Presbyterian Church started on its career in the year 1859, be ing made up of two factions in the Presby terian army. All signs point to the ulti mate union of the various branches of the Presbyterian order, and, when the good time comes, there is little doubt that the place which will be chosen for the marriage will be our own city. With the same tendency towards union the next decade we have witnessed the past decade, the twentieth century will dawn upon a'TJnited Presbyterian Church of Horth America, and the little differences which have divided Presbyterians will be things of the past. The American Tract Society. This society has jnst issued Its sixty-fifth an nual report, showing a remarkable work accom plished by it during this time. Its publications have reached into the millions, 91 of them added to its list the last year.

Wellsboeo desire to sell its hand fire en gine, which it has outgrown. It Is an excellent engine, and for many of tho small towns in this State with no fire protection wbatever.it will be of as much value as though it were new, as hand engines never wear out, as they are not used enough. Captain Dory Moses, of Engine 4, Cincin nati, while working on a stepladder at that company's station recently, was perclpltated to the floor by the breaking of the ladder and his hip uone broke in two places, as well as otherwise injured.

The possibilities for sn old-time, lively passenger rate war in the "West are most beautiful, and some deep incisions may be looked for In tbe next two weeks. Tbe fates of the trunk lines will be affected accord ingly. The trouble commenced a short time ago when the Missouri Pacific made a low eastern rate out of Denver, and got the Ohio and Mississippi Valley to make a S3 rate from St. Louis to Cincinnati. The other roads have been trying to get these two into line,' bat they won't stand the re duction very long before they will take a hand. General Passenger Agent Daniels, of the New York Central, has angered the O. & M. people by taking up the matter with Trnnk Line Commissioner Tanner. Through the efforts of the latter the B. & O. and Erie systems have notified President Barnard, ot the O. & M. road, that be must withdraw his reduced rates into trunk line territory.
