I;ts b ; i"i wh'ch v. as then pa--s d The spirit of the same iaw had, how ever, been in force in Pennsylvania several years. Witness the following act jr: scd by a It< public-in legislature and signed by a Republican (ioveraor M< reh It, 1 36T : Be it enacted, etc., That on after the passage of this act any railroad or railway corporation, within this Com monwealth, that shall exclude, or allow to be excluded, by tl.< ir agents, con ductors, or employees, from any of their passenger cars, any per.- m, or persons., on account cf coioi, or race, er that shall refuse to carry in any of their cars, th:i3 set opart, any person, i r persons, on account of odor, or,race, or that shall, for such, reason, compel, or attempt to compel, any person, or persons, to occupy any particular part ef any of their cars, set apart for the accommodation of people as passen gers, shall be liable, in au action < f debt, to the person thereby injured, or aggrieved, in the sum SSOO, the same to be recovered, in nn action of debt, as iike amounts are now by law re coverable. Three years later tbe Republicans emphasized their position in a law which pi jvie< d, furthermore : That so much of every act of assem* j l.iy as provides that only white free men shall b ■ entitled to vote or !:e registered as vot< rs, or a- claiming to vote at any general or special • lection of this Common wealth, be and the same Is hereby repealed; and that! hereafter all freemen, without distinc tion tif color, shall be enrolled and reg istered, and shall, when otherwise qualified under existing laws, be en- 1 titled to vote at all geucn:l and special elections in this C'ommonw ahh. In IBSI the Republican Lcgi-bttute pa si d a bill making it ' unlawful for any school director, superintendent or. leac'.aY to make any distinction what ever on acc unt of, or by r< ason of the j race or color of any pupil or scholar ; wh > may b; in attend'.;ue up in, or I seeking admission to, any public or ! common school, maintained wholly or in part under the school laws of tins Comm .nvveal fa." 1 his act was ap proved by Governor Iloyt, June H, I Hti I. THE DEMOCRATIC I'OSiTJON. Not Ie«« emphatic, although in strange contrast to the above laws, was the following r> solution which ; the Press r< product. frotu tbe records of the Democratic State Oonvcnti n held July 7, 1 sr.2 : ll< ulved, That the party favoritism, or crime, whichever it may bo calle l, that seeks to turn the slaves of the S uthern Stati :s loose, to overrun tin; North and enter into competition with the white laboring ma- -, thUi de grading itn('• iii. ulting their manhood hy placing them upon an cip.tality with m groes in their occupation, is insulting to (7ijr race and merits our most emphat ic and unqualified condemnation. K' . ohud, That litis i m v'erninont of while men, and was established ex clusively for the white race. That the negro race are uotentith d to, and ought not to be admitted to, politic il or social equality with the while race. Again at the 1>« n.ccratie State Cun veiil ,;i, belt! at Harii-bui Mareb ft, 18tj(5, after the negroes wt i declared free men, the Democrats ui miuioubly resolved ; That the white race is alone en titled to control the g jver uncut of the !

This exquisitely humorous episode occupies a whole a whole chapter. There are many others equally delightful and amusing. The boy is hideously precocious and vulgar, full of slang t:nd profanity, and a, ready with ieers at churchi aud Sunday schools he is with jokes at his father's drunken habits. In a word, he is a m >st disgusting little animal, and the fact that such books have a ready sale is in itself a curious feature of American life, and not a pleasing one. We hope the newspaper humorists won't fly at us when we-ay that Peck's Bad fl >y represents some of the ten dencies that are found ii two much of the humorous writings nowadays. We j rcc.-il nothing else so strangely vulgar as this, Hole- it is Mr. "Mark Twain's"' j own deiiuaielv humorous account of the j mi. uuderfci audi rig occasioned by a box ! containing ft Limburgerfcbeeee being! placed in the same car with 11 corp-e i on its way to the grave. But in its habitual m; eking at all subjects t'nat are worthy of r> vcrential treatment— religion, the home, the parental rela t .n- I'ml/ Bad Bov only int nsili.-s uuulilies which are too often s en in i.tl.s-r nev.v.puper humorist,; of the el iss that has grown so 1 >rge in the west and south. Mmy of them, it is true, are .-,ue .. ,-ful, even amid the keen com petitions of their voik, in keeping within the bounds of good taste, and now and then some of them have pro duced matt, r, to perish in a day, which, if it had appe ired in some more availa ble form, might have taken a pet'iua- J in-iil place iu literature. But the Bail i Boy might serve 113 a warning to some, just as tiie h pele. s drunkard is a suffi cient example to the genteel tippler. A little more delicacy in dealing with domestic aud religious subj< cts would r.ii. e the general level of newspaper humor, which is us much of a dis tinctive development us the American newspaper itself. We hope, too, it will not seem like too much of an exaggeration, if we say that Peck'ri Bad Boy represents some of the unfortunate tendencies of Amer ican life. He represents the lawless j impertinence "I' youth, the lack of dif ference for age and for parents, that so oft< :j strike foreigners unp! asantly iu American children. There never was t-ucli ii boy as this one, of course ; but it is impossible to avoid the uncomfortn bio reflection that, like all caricatures, this one, gross as it is, has some foun dation in fact.

Now that the two-cent postage law h 1-I gone into ell"ct the following pro visions of the lirnt laiv • I Congress on the subject will be read with interest : February 20, 170:2, was tie: dat-j of the first act fixing rales of pontage on done- tic letters, and established the ! llowing rates, to tako effect June I, 171)2: A'-t Fcbruirv 20, 17!l2, section 0, by land: Foreycry singl< sixty miles, 8 ci n!s.

That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod; But in the hour of grief or pain Can lead upon its tiod.

T ruth, gl-irionstru h, of heavenly birth, and fair hi simple majesty array'd is there; Her l iL'ht hand holds the faithful mirror clear, Toe world's false mask she trample* down with scoru, Ad irned the m .-t when she would least adorn. So wiiat by her is thought orsaid or done, Apjiear-ciii.-pieuous as the noonday sun; Truth is the image of our God above, That bhinet reflected in his sea of Iota; Ail bail, bic'-ed truth, t.iou dany.iter of tiie Bel _ r n thou oil earth and bid earth's ,ons arise; Hid virtue lea l, and justice Imid the loale, For thou ait luiyiity an I will soon prevail. Truth, iii art evangelical sense, is all important. It alone will give charac ter to an individual more than all other qualities put together. It is of itself a rich inheritance of more worth than mines of silver and gold, il is more than the highest titles con ferred by princes. As the mirror re flects objects that p t ; ak ye every man the truth to iiis neighbor; execute the jutlgm mt of truth. Truth is the glory of youth and the rd, who ill dwell in Thv holy hill? lie that speiketh tho truth In the (lavs of Daniel the wis> men were ordered by the king to declare what was the strongest thing on earth.

About ; one-seventh of the grain of Great Britain is wasted ou this traffic, when i when thousands of people are on the j verge of starvation ami living in ab- j ject poverty. In the United Kingdom j 54,(559,000 bushels of grain are dc-, strayed yearly to make beer. 100,- 000,000 bushels of grain are annually | di'stroyt lin the Anglo-Saxon world, j which would give two barrels of flour j to every family in England, the | United States and Canada during the j year. Dunns* the last seven years the i large total has been spent of i!9S7,- j 000,000, <>r 1'2,000,000,000 more than j the national debt of Great Britain. | And this was not all, for it cost at; least 1100,000,000 more to pay for t lie | mischief that it caused. That gave a! cost of £211,000,000, or about §1 200,- 000,000 yearly for their drink bill ! It said that there are about 200,000 ! [daces in Great Britain where liquor is ; sold, and these are probably doing more to hinder («< I's cause than the | 10,000 ministers of religion can do to \ advance i;. As the result, mainly of intemperance, they have nearly 3,000,-1 000 applying yearly for parish relief j in that wealthy country; 85,000 in- j mates in their asylums; (50,000 con* I vieted of crime; at least 250,000 va-j grants roaming aboat the country ;; and about 1-0,000 brought annually : to a premature grave. And these ■ liquor shops are :■ am tinned by law to i h ; I away the people from God, from ! happiue.-s and heaven. Thus the j liquor traffic of Great Britain costs i as much as would support (500,000 j missionaries at $1,200 a year; 500,- | 000 schoolmasters at $500; build I ."•,000 churches at £10,000; .">,OOO j - -huolhouses at -1,000; would give to j the world 200,000,000 of Bibles at! twenty-five cents each; and 500,000,- 000 of tracts at $1 per 100; would give 100,000 widows $ 100 a year ; and 2 10,000 poor families SSO a year. In j short, would provide a machinery that voiild evangelize the world in a short time, or pay off the national debt in four years. In the United Slates there are 17.',- 000 places where intoxicating liquor was sold, involving a direct outlay and waste of not Ithan $700,000,000, and an indirect loss to the country, by crime, pauperi in, etc., of $700,000,000 more; and this results in the destruc tion of 100,000 lives yearly In tho State of Maine, before prohibition, tl iiie w. s one drunkard for every lifty live of the population, and one million j gallons ol spirits were distilled annu ally, while the liquor bill amounted to §10,000,000. Since prohibition there is not a distillery or brewery in the State, t he recent sale of liquor amount ing to the inero fraction of the former quantity sold; whereas the death rate bad been reduced to one in .'SOO of her population. In 1 there were in operation in the I'nited States !{,210 distilleries. These consumed .51,291,1 'SO bushels of grain, with an aggregate production of I I 7,728,150 gallons of proof spirits. Fur the fiscal year ending 30th Juno, 1 SSI, the total amoulit ol revenue to the national treasury from distilled spirits was $157,153,7718.']; for the same period tho t )tul revenue Iroin fer mented liquors amounted to §13,700,- 211.20. The beer production lor the * ar endi ;r oOti. June wa 11,111 1,028 hu.dieis, or at thirty-one gallons per I 11i11-1, the enormous aggregate of -131,(5 11 si;s v illons. A t.rcwer's au thority gives the number of breweries at 2, :;o, and e. !iniates that there are I, lis 1,070 acres of land under cultiva-j ti■ >ii t' r barley ami hops, ll sown i with wheat, at thirty I ushels per acre, this land would provide 50,-I5(>,000 bu In i , or al> nt oiu 1 li i < a t j 000' suicides; has caused the loss, by fire jor violence, of §10,000,000 worth of | property: and has made 200,000 wid and 1,000,000 orphans. The loss to the nation, directly and indircc'ly, through liquor, is something Ike I §1,400,000,000 a vcar. The quantity or spirits and milt , liquor made or imported into the Do minion of Canada in ISS2 was 17,733,- | 934 gallons, or nearly four gallons for every man, woman and child in the Dominion. The liquor traffic is esti mated to cost Canada $43,500,000 annually.— Canada Record. The Brie—A-Brac Queen. From (he New York Journal. A woman of wealth and fashion to j be reduced to the level of saleslady in a bric-a-brac bazaar is the position to which Mrs. Herbert A. Aycr has been subjected. 'Who is that female ?' asked a mat ronly person attired in silks and jew elry sufficient to more than burden two of her proportions as she referred with an ill-assumed air of indifference to Mrs. Aver in Sypher & Co. 's, at No. j 741 Broadway. 'The wife of a man who failed for $2,000,000 in Chicago last winter,' re plied the clerk to whom the question had been addressed. 'A woman who iias been presented at the Courts of St. James aud Italy. A woman who iias traveled the world over; who can converse fluently in any of the modern languages; who was the leader in fashion on the Northside of Chicago and who was famed for giving the best dinners in the Western Metro polis.' 'Oh, dear; how badlv she must feel, especially at .being cut by aIL her old friends! I'm glad I didn't know her.' continued the matronly person, who was out apparently to exhibit her wardrobe. 'Her friends have not deserted her, my dear madam,' returned the clerk ; 'if they had she probably would not be holding her position here. She was once one of our largest customers, hav ing purchased at different times no less than £IO,OOO worth of curios and antiques.' Happening to overhear the above conversation a reporter sought Mrs. Aycr. She is haudsome of face and figure. Her complexion is fair and rosy, her features refined and her hair a medium blonde, while h<-r large blue eyes bespeak spirit, intelligence and kindliness. 'Will you come into my littlo sanc tum ?' taid Mrs. Aycr, and she led tho way to a little corner in the great es tablishment, where, surrounded by knightly armor, grim instruments of ancient warfare and furniture of mod ern ago, she she seated herself at a mahogany desk and began to talk. 'lt is pretty hard for a woman of fashion who for 15 years never break fasted out of her room to be obliged to work for her bread and butter, arising every morning at (5 o'clock,' said Mrs. Aver. 'Mrs. A ver, where is your home in New York?' 'i brought all my furniture and tho remnants of my collections from Chic ago and furnished the house Xo. 120 West Thirteenth street, but I am now stopping at the Colonnade. Mrs. Langtry has renty my bouse. She went through it once and yvus satisfied. Don't think im egotistic when I repeat that she said it was the most elegantly furnished house she had been in while in America. 1 went out like a western gale of wind and she came in like a summer breeze ; and now I'm looking lor a Hut or some apartments.' 'What induced you go Into tho bric a brae business, Mrs. Ayer?' '1 never applied for a position, it be ing so well known that 1 was a con noisseur in that line that several large firms offered me an interest to come with them. It was while consulting Mr. Cypher as to which of two offers 1 should accept that he told mo to ac cept neither, but to come with him. 1 am to travel through Kurope to make purchases, and I am allowed so many other privileges that I hope I shall leel quite contented. Why, before I was here an hour I had sold SI,OOO worth of goods.' 'Were you ever snubbed by any of your old friuds ?' was asked Mrs. Aycr. 'Yes, once. A parvenu, who is tho niece of a well-known woman of New York society, came in, and speaking almost, inaudibly, gave mo her hand listlessly and then withdtew. Two \ ears ago she was crazy to make my acquaint ance.' 'Are your feelings hurt by . uch treat ment J" asked the reporter. 'Yes, indeed. For the first week, when people came in and treated mo the same as they would their mail, I was overcome. livery night 1 we it home and wept.' 'Do you wish to speak of your family affairs, Mrs. Ayer!" 'My father was tho 'eighth white voter' of Chicago, and tnv undo Gor don S. Hubbard, is now the oldest set tler there. I was married to my hus band, who is some years my senior, when very young, and I have two daughters whom lam educating. Mv husband is uow iu California, looking after what remains of his financial wreck.' . -When it comes to a bout with .lack Frost we all put on gloyes. —The only pain that we can safely make li./ht of, is the window-pane, but the pain that racks our frame and tears our I nigs is a matter of serious conse queneo.
