. Ivo Not Like To Hear Him Pray. I do not like to hear him pray. : Who loans at twenty-five per cent., For then I think the borrower may } Be Fressed to pay for food and rent; } | And % the book we ali should read £ Which saye the lender sh_on‘gd be blessed, Ar gsnre as I have eyes to-read, . .

I do not like to hear him pray, ‘‘Let blessings on the widow be,” ‘Who never seeks her home to say; “If want o’ertakes you, come to me.” I hate tbegrayer, 80 loud and long, That’s offered for the erphan’s weal By him who gees him crished by wrong, And does not for his sufferings feel.

Ido not like to hear her pray, . With jeweled ear ard silken dress, W hose washerwoman toils all day, And then is asked to work for less, | Such pious shearers I despise. With folded hands and face demure, They lift to Heaven their anfiel eyes, .. And eteal the earningd of the poor. I 4o not like such soulless prayers; Ilf wrong, I hope to be forgiven.

- ATERRIBLE DEED, The Encounter in the Woods—An Unuleasant Recognition—Down in the Cold, Park Grave —Buried Alire—A Fatal Shot, . “Stop!”-eried a voice out of a large, low oak tree, on the edge of the dense woods extending north of the pretty town of Salem, Virginia, about one o'clock in the afternoon of a very fine May day, in 1839, “Stop, or 1 wiil shoot!” e L The person to whom this threat was addressed was an elderly gentleman, mounted on a mule, and dressed in thercostume of a wealth farmer. His broad brimmed straw hat shaded a vellow .face, pitted with smallpox marks, and dotted with two small, restless black eyes. He looked both cunning and unscrupulous. . L.ooking up at the oak tree, he shouted: “Who are you?” - : ““I:will let you know mighty quick who I am, Silas McKinstrey ; but.first take that pistol out of your belt and throw it into the thicket. I will give you one minute for getting rid of that pistol. If you hesitate 1 will wing you, with my rifle. I am a dead shot, Silas McKingtrey. G ' McKinstrey hesitated, but only for amoment. Then he thréew away his pistol and fixed his eyes' with an ex pression of mingled curiosity and terror upon the oak tree. - His curiosity was soon satisfied. From the oak tree glided down a tall, slender youth, with a handsome, though somewhaut e

DESPERATE-LOOKING Expression of countenance. He was clad in the peculiar costume of a Western hunter and trapper, and a long doubled-barreled rifle was slung round his shoulder. e When he had reached the ground, he rushed up to McKinstrey, and said, while he wasseizing the mule’s bridle: “Do you know who I am?” “]—l—l don’t——,” stammered Mr. McKinstrey. : *“Well.. I remember your villainous countenance very well, old reprebate, and I sheuld not forget itiif I had not seen you for fifty years. ° But it is not 80 long since we last met. - That was seven years ago. Youdrove me ffom this town then.” o . McKinstrey, whose face had changed color upon hearing these words, suddenly set spurs to his mule, but the youth checked the animal at once, and in a half sneering, half threatening tene, said to the rider: ; : i “Now you will have to get down from-that mule. Down,” I say, or, 1 wiil fire & bullet Into your knee-pan!” Trembling all over, the very incarnation lof . 7 - UTTER WRETCHEDNESS, .

McKinstrey alighted, whereupon the youth gave the hapless mule a tremendous kick, and sent him scampering off at & lively rate toward the town. Then turning toward McKinstrey, with a terrible frown on his youthful brow, he said: : , “I guess you kno# me now, don’t you?” : i “] guess 1 do,” replied McKinstrey, shaking like an aspen-leaf. “You are —eh—you are Martin—” - : “Martin Bennett; correct. Silas McKinstrey—the same Martin Bennett whom, in 1832, you drove out of Salem by preferring against him the false charge of arson. That accusation was preposterous, and yeu knew it.” “I then believed it was true,” stammered McKinstrey, whose face by this time was ashy-pae. i ‘ “You lie, villain!” eried the youth. “You tiumped up that charge because you wanted to drive me away from here entirely, so that you could get the valuable property of my mother in your own hands. You have got it now—she is in her .grave these six months, and yeou are her administrator. But tell me one thing—where is my mother’s will 2” s ; - “She leftno will,” was McKinstrey’s quick reply, SN “Fortunately, she did not let,.you know that she made one. I thought you might have found it among her things. . , *No, no, I did not.” protested MeKinstrey; “I will let you have your property if yeu will agree in writing not;Eo take any steps in Court against me. i :

Young Bennett laughed ‘scornfuliy. “You, sir, can not withhold my meother’s property from me. I have seen a great deal ef the world since I Jeft Salem,” he added, bitterly, *and I shall take thelaw into 1y own hands.” “What are you going to do with me $” cried McKinstrey in . S

A TONE OF PROFOUND ANGUISH. ~ “You will see.that by and by,” re‘plied Bennett, carelessly.’ “For 'the time being, pray tell me in what dress my mother was buried ?” “In ber old blaek ‘silk dress,” replied McKinstrey, ' with chattering teeth. : i A gleam of joy flashed from the youth’s eyes.. He reflected for a moment, then he said : ] W “Silas McKinstrey, you will accompany me now te my mother’s grave.” With a profound grean from the old man they set out for the cemetery. McKinstrey’s brow was covered with pearls of perspiration when they arrived at the griveyard. ‘ ‘They directed their steps to a plain and undecorated grave, upon which had been erected a small tombstone, containing the follewing inscriptien: © -Bacredtothe Meworyof .+ JANEMcKINSTEEY, . St Nov. 1o IR ,{% et bl B, el o b Yot o B oSt defnan o gatude ol e S R e RN eT R e )

‘The youth, who had reverently uncovered his head as soon as they had approached his mother’s grave, read this irscriptien with a bitter smile. “The Lord who imposed that cross on her,” he cried indignantly, “was you, Silas MeKinstrey. You have always played the part of a very pious man in order to cover your rascalities, and you had the impudence to put that inscriptien on my poor mother’s tombstor.e—you, villain, who eaused all her sorrows!” e : McKinstrey cowered under the withering glance which the youth bent upon him. ‘ “Now,” commanded Bennett, taking his rifle from his shoulder, “go to the grave digger’s shed yonder and get me a spade. If you make an attempt to escape, I will put a bullet through you in a jiffy!” : ; He returned from the shed immediately with a spade. - ¢ ““Now open this grave!” commanded young Bennett. McKinstrey obeéfed,': heaving a deep sigh. He removed the sod from the mound, aud then dug” open the grave. At last the coffin wasdiscovered. Both Bennett and McKinstrey descended into®

THE YAWNING GRAVE, . Where the youth,with his heavy bowieknife, easily succeeded in opening the lid of the coffin., The corpse in it was wonderfully well preserved. i Young Bennett, with tears in his eyes, kissed tue forehead of his deceased mother. =~ | Then he cut open the seam of her black silk dress, and, with an exclamation of triumphant joy, drew from it a folded paper. P - [ He opened if, glanced over it, and put it into his poeket. After hastily closing the lid of his mother’s coffin he quickly jumped ot of the graye. ¢+ L ; . MecKinstrey wanted to foliew him. «No, villain, you shall remain in that grave avith your wvictim,” eried ‘the youth, | ¢ He dealt the old man ! A TERRIBLE BLOW . | On the head with his rifle, which felled him down Benseless. Then he shov eled in the earth over him and covered the mound carefully with the sod. “Ha!” he said te-himself. “I am more than avenged now, and henceforth I +hall enjoy my wealth.” ' lle went to a lawyer’s office in Salem, showed him the paper which he 'had just secured, and received thefollowing repiy: “This will i 3 all right. Can you prove that you are Martin Bennett?” “Don’t you reeognize me, Mr. Henderscn ?” asked the youth. b .The lawyer said, after looking at him for a time: - “Sure enough, it's you, Martin, Where have you been solong?” “Oh, I will tell you'by and by, Mr. lenderson; just now I am too tired.” “That old charge of arson against you never amounted to anything, Martin. The Grand Jury refused to find an indictment against you.” ; “It did, Mr. Henderson; and that scoundrel McKinstrey made my poor mother always believe that I had been indicted.” cEn : “Does he know that your mother made this will?” i “No, Mr. Henderson.” The two parted, and young Bennett went to the Virginia House, where he tcok a room and went to bed. = It was long after nightfall that. he AwWoke, i e ' He dressed in the dark, and then grouping his way to the corner where he had placed his rifle against the wall, took up the weapon. Somehow or ofther the strap of the rifle touched the trigger; it went off, and the bullet pierced the youth’s left breast. 3 The report of the shot was heard throughout the hetel, and in a minute or two the room was filled with persons of both sexes, . J - They found the youth lying on fthe floor gasping for breath. : He tried to say something, but was unable toe do so. | A convulsiveshudder passed through his frame, and he was dead. :

Big Words. . Big words are great favorites with people of small ideas and weak conceptions. - They are sometimes employed by men of mind when they wish to use language that may best conceal their thoughts. With few exceptions, however, Illiterate and half educated persons use more ‘big words’ than people of thorough education.— It is a very common, but very egregious, mistake to suppose that long words are more genteel than short ones—just as the same sort of people imagine high colors and flashy figures improve the style of dress. These are the kind of folks who don’t begin, but always “commence.” Theydon’t live, but “reside.” They don’t go to bed, but mysteriously “retire.” They don’t eat and drink, but “partake of refresiments;” and instead of dying at last, they “decease.” The strength of the English language is the short words —chiefly monosyllables of Saxon derivation; and people who are in earnest seldom use any other. [Love, hate, anger, grief, joy, express themselves in short words aund direct sentences; while cunning, falsehood and affection delight in 'Wwhat Horace calls verbi sesquipedelia —words a foot and a-half long.

- Bound to Be Swindled. The Mishawaka HEnlerprise reports that an agent for a.paper called the Atlas, made a clean sweep in some localities east of that place a few weeks .ago, obtaining scores of subscribers by offering the paper for seventy-five cents per year, with tempting bait of two chromes to be given to each subscriber. The foolish peeple who trusted this stranger are still waiting for their papers, and 'will probably never receive them. If people were half as prompt to sustain their home papers as they are to subseribe for foreign publications of nolocal value to them whatever, they would save themselves from being swindled, not only by newspaper tramps, but by every other kind ‘of swindlers now so_numerously- perambulating the country *“taking in” for large suins, frequently, those who claim to be too poor to take their home paper. But some people can never learn any thing except through actual experience, and perhaps it is well that confidence mea should take them in, at least once, during their natural lives.—Plymouth Democrat.

/' “HONEST MONEY.” . g' Ler . [lndianapolis Sentinel.] In current financial diseussions “honest money” is a favorite phrase with the Shylock press and the men who acknowledge their allegiance to -the money power. The term “honest money” is applied exclusively to gold coin; all other money is dishonest, especially greenbacks. Againsi these “promises” of the government war ' has been waged and still continues as fierce and uorelenting as ever. In seeking for reasons to-warrant this senseless and fanatical hostility the people have been subjected to almost _interminable diatribes uvon the “war power,” “inflation,” “repudiation,” “government credit,” “keeping faith: ~with bondholders,” and so on to the end of the ‘chapter, every sentence being a blow aimed at greenbacks } which, as' we have said, are denounced as “dishonest money.” Let us see. The accepted theory is that the peob‘ ple are honest. They demanded green'backs, accepted them, received them 'an‘%d them out, and gave them thereby every prerogative of honesty. To denouince greenbacks as dishonest is to malign the character of the people. This fact the people recognize, and maintain their regard for greenbacks against the clamor 0f Shylocks. It is held that the war for the preservation of the Union was honest and patriotie. During the critical period of that war gold disappeared from the contest, and greenback money took its place. Itpaid thesoldier; it purchased the munitions of wzr; it paid every item of national defense from a Mississippi gunboat to a man-of-war, from a revolver to a siege gun. It paid for every- description of army supplies, and kept in operation every enterprise of the country. During all this period of trial and peril, of success and deteaf, of fire and slaughter, the only persous in the country that cried down greenbacks were Shylocks and their agents. Then, as now, they were the enemies of the government and of the people. They continually exalted gold and decried the government’s promise to pay, and having succeeded to an extent that alarmed patriots, they took the noney their treason depreciated and with it purchased interest bearing bonds of the government. In this transaction they changed their tactics. They used the money they had depreciated atpar in the purchase of bonds, and not being satisiied with this they demanded that bonds payable in the currency with which they had been purchased should be changed and made payable in gold, and in this way accomplished two stupendous robberies. And these Shylocks and their agents are now the only persons whe declare that greenbacks andsilver dollars are dishonest; that the former should be destroyed and the latter demonetized, so that there shall beionly onestandard—that of gold—recognized by the government. It is worthy of remark thatin ‘war upon greenbacks the position is taken that their use made the people insane. They went mad in speculations, and ipvited thereby their own destruction. It is worth while, even at -this late day,to review the facts. With the aid of the greenbacks Union goldiers saved the Union, which was neither folly nor madness. With the aid of greenbacks the industries of the country were vitalized from Maine to California. This was not mad speeulation, for it gave employment to every willing worker in the land. With the aid of greenbacks factories were built and machinery set in ‘motion; lines of railroad were extended in every direction, and new sources of wealth developed; rivers were bridged and mountains were tunneled; new farms were opened and old farms extended; villages expanded into cities and cities grew to metropolitan magnitude, and these monumeints of progress are standing yet as testimonials that greenbacks performed honest work., We are quite willing to admit that prices of various commodities advanced, but this adyance worked no disasters. 1f flour wasslo a barrel, the laborer could obtain the money wherewith to purchase it; if rents were high the laborer was able promptly to meet the bill, and though clothing was high priced rags were not seen upon all the streets and highways of life. Bankrupt courts were idle, and the sheniff’s hammerdid not, from the early morn tq the going down of the sun, beat the funeral march of business. Ifgreenbacks played a conspicuous part during this era of enterprise and prosperity, they can not be justly denounced as dishonest money. On the contrary, they helped every honest enterprise and conferred .inestimable blessings upon the coun-. try. The fact appears everywhere, in proportion as the war upon greenbacks has {®en successful business paralysis has followed, until disasters have multiplied and spread ever the country. In getting back to “bed rock,” as the process of contraction is styled, the country has wiinessedthe march ef business death, and hence the demand has been that the Shylock policy shall be changed, and to this end honest men are now devoting their energies. This is the people’s government, and greenbacks are emphatically the people’s money. The people are honest, and will unhesitat--lingly pay their honest debts. To accomplish this business life is the de‘'mand. and the theory is that the currency of the country--gold, silver and greenbacks—shall be sufficient to vis talize the enterprises of the country.

: THE YOUNG IDEA. 2 Oue of Bob Ingersoll’s Theories :’jt“ i - to the Test. I Not long since, says Peék’s_ Sun,\fg fellowing utterance of Bob'lngersoll went the rounds of the.papers:: - Colonal Ingersoll says that he keeps “a pecket book in an open drawer, and his children go and help themselves to the money whenever they want it. They eat when they want to. They may sleep all day if they choose, and sit up all night if they desire. I don’t try to coerce them. I never punish, never scold. They buy -their own clothes,. and are masters of themgselves.”

A gentleman living on Marshall-st., who has a boy that is full as kitteny as his father, read the articlé and pendered deeply. He knew that Col. Ingersoll was a success in raising children in the way they should go, and he thought he would try it. "The boy had caused him considerable annoyance, and he made up his mind that he had not treated.the boy right, sohe called the boy in from the street, where he was putting soft soap on the lamp posts in order to see the lamp lighter climb it, and said to him; °

“My son, I have decided to adopt a different course with you. Heretofore I have been careful about giving you moeney, and have wanted fo know where every cent went to and my superyision has no doubt been annoying to you. Now, lam going to leave my pocket book in the bureau drawer, with plenty of money in it, and you are at liberty to use all you want without asking me. I want you to buy anything you desire, buy your own clothes, and to feel asthough the mon ey was yours,and that you had not got to account for it. Just make yourself at home now, and try to have a good time.” | . The boy looked at the old gentleman, gu; his hand on his head as thoug™ he had ‘“‘zot ’em sure,” anrd went out to see the lamp lighter climb that soft soap. The next day the stern parent went into tlie country, shooting, and returned on the nridnight train three days later. Ileopened the door with a night key, and a strange yellow dog grabbed him by the eibow ot his pants and shook him, as he said, “lige the ager.” e 7} :

- I'he dog barked and chewed until the son came dowh ir his night shirt ard called him off. He told his father that he had bought the dog of a firemaun for $ll, and it was prokably the best dog bargain that had been made thig season. Ife said the fireman told him he could sell the dog for a hundred dollars if he could find a man that wanted that kind of a‘dog.

- The parent took off his pants, what the dog had net removed, and in th& hall he stumblgd over a birch-bark canoe the boy bought of an Indian for $9, and an army musket with an iron ramrod fell down from the corner. The boy had paid $6 fei that, He had also bought himseif an overeoat with a seal-skin collar and cuffs, and a cemplete ocutfit of calico shirts and silk stockings. : : In his roem the parent found the marble top of asoda tountain, a wheel barrow and -a shelt filled with all kinds of canned meat, preserves and crackers and a barrel of apples, A wall tent and six pairs of blankets were rolled up ready for camping out, and a buck sgkin shirt and a pair of corduroy pamts lay on the ked, ready for putting en. Six fish poles and a basket full of fish lines were ready for business, and an oyster can full of grub worms’ for bait were squirming on the wash stand. The old gentleman looked the Jay out over, looked at his pocket book in the bureau drawer —as empty as a contribution box—and said: : : PG |

“Young man, the times have been tgo flush. We will now return to specie basis. - When you want money, come to me and I will give you a nickle, and you will tell me what you intend to buy' with it, and I will warn you. You hear me?” : . And now. that man stands around from the effects of the encounter with the yellow dog, and asks every man where a letter will reach Bob Ingersoll. e says he will kill lugersoll,if it is tfie last noble act he ever accomplishes. : : :

el New York Nullifiers. . The Sentinel has frequently referred, in fitting terms, to the arrogance,. insolence and conceit which characterize the New York bankers—at least those among them who attempt to dictate and coutrol the financial legislation of the country. These men assume to possess all of the financial wisdom of the country, and the pat‘ronizing and supercillious tone in which they, and their chosen organs, affect to speéak of “western sentiments,” “Ohio ideas,” ete., is extreme1y offensive and disgusting.

. KILLED BY HIS SISTER. /Romance Qutrivalled in a Venusylvania Farms . er’s Good and JHI-Fortune. = - : o : (Jobnstown Tribane.): o - One of the saddest of tragedies was that on Friday evening, at the home ‘Mr, Richard Hothem, pear Hillside, Westmoreland . County, Pa. Mr. H. and his wife went away on a visit.on Frniday, leaving at home ‘their son Joseph, aged 22, their daughter Mary, aged 19, and two other daughters, 9 and 11 years of age respectively. In -the evening Joseph attemded a spelling “bee,” cautioning his sis’er Mary, as he went away, te beware of tramps. At about 9 o’clock he started for ‘home, aud as he approached the house the barking of the dogs: alarmed his sisters, as Joseph was net expected back at so early an hour. It is probable the yeung man intended te test his sister Mary’s courage, for he pulled his hat down over his face, and otherwise disguised him: self. When he was within a few rods -of the bouse Mary appeared in' the doorway and hailed him: “Is that-you, Joe?” But he did not answer, and continued to advance. =The girl, now worked up to a high pitch of excitement, again hailed the advancing figure with, “Who are you?” Still ‘no answer, and Mary.shouted:again, “Is that you, Joe,” and ran into the house and armed herself gith a shot-gun. Returning to the door she discovered, toher surprise, the strange man standing on the steps, and as socon -as she ‘ appeared he advanced toward her. “Stop,” she shouted, “stop, or I will shoot you!” He took another step, and at the same instant the girl raised the gun and fired, and he sank down . on the porch, groaning, “Oh, my dear sister!” “Oh, my dear brother, I have killed you!” the poor girl screamed as she threw down the gun and carried hina into the house, where he soon died. o g ; : ;

Richard Hothem, the father, 1s the man who in 1861 or 1862, picked up a. fortune on the railroad near his heme. He was walking along the road and saw a folded rewspaper, and on picking it up found enclosed $50,000 in: bank notes. He tdok the package to an attorney and sought legal advice. Advertisements weére iniserted in the newspapers throughout ‘tie country; in the hope of discovering the loser of the money, and for ever ayear diligent search was made far and wide; bat no one ever appeared to claim it, and Mr. Hothem eventually appropri-. ated it te his own uses. . A short time previous to the finding of the money a large express robbery had been perpstrated near Harper’s Ferry, and it was the general belief that, being closely pressed by.pursuers, the thieves had threwn thé money from a car window, intending to return- for it on the- first opportunity of eluding the detectives.

- Balance of Trade Theories. ’ Official reports bristle with figures showing the enormously increasing “balance of trade” in favor of this country, which is heralded as the sure sign of rapidly returning prosperity. The value of the exports of this country for October, 1878, reached the immense sum of $65,000,000, an increase of $6,000,000 over October, 1877. On. thie other hand, the imports for October, 1878, amounted to $37,000,000, heing $28,000,000 less than the exports, and $6,500,000 less than the.imports of the corresponding month of last year. Exports are increasing and im-ports-diminishing in eéqual ratio. Al‘though the year ‘1877 showed a large balance it is far more favorable this year. For the ten months closing Oc¢tober 31,78, there is a balanee in favor of this country, aud it is estimated/that the balance will reach $284,000,000 for the whole year. In England and France the balance is on -the other side of the sheet. Feor the last ten months the imports of England exceed the exports in value by tha enormous sum of $764,000,000. There is also a heavy balance against France. The balance of trade in favor of this country is accepted at.once as a sign of returning prosperity and as a proof of the wisdom of the protective system. If this were so, England, with her enormous balance of trade against her, weuld long since have gone to the “demnition how-wows.” But the English do not complain of this balance. On. the contrary, they rejoice at it, as the' proof of commercial prosperity. It represents in their estimate.the winnings of England in her trade around the world. As the creditor of the world part of what is due her is representedin the balance of immorted articles andghe’f rest of the balance consists of tha profits of her 'busy trade in a]l the corners of theeagth. With the United States; onthe other hand, the balance of trade in exports goes to pay off debts long since contracted, 'This {alance,consists of the fat of the virgin soil, of the substance-of agricultural wealth, that is sent abroad as tribute.

- Abe Rothsehild, the Wife Murderer. : The case of Abe Rothschild, justconvicted in Texas of murder in the first degree, is interesting. .The story, as told im the evidence, begins with the arrival of Bessie Moore in Cincinnati -two years ago. She was about twenty years old and had-considerable money, but her most noteworthy property was aJarge number.of diamonds, for which | she had a remarkableliking. She came to be known as Diamond -Bess. Abe Rothschild was a noted western gambler. He fell in love with Diamond Bess, or her diamonds, or both, and propesed to marry her. She several times pawned some of her diamonds to get money for him, but al ways managed to redeem them. The pair were ‘miarried about a year ago in Chieago. They went to Texas on a honey-moon ‘trip, she carrying the diamonds.carefully in her pocket. They arrived at the Brooks House, Marshall, on January 17th, last, and stayed two days. Quarreling in their room was overheard, and Bess appeared to be defending her diamonds against seizure by her husband.. They next went to Jefferson, where Abe registered at the ‘hotel under an assumed name. They quarrelled 'in loud and angry tones i nearly all night. On the following day they hired a horse and wagon, filled a basket with luncheon, and started off as though for a pleasure trip into the country. Bess acted a 8 though ‘afraid of her :io‘m panion. She hadthe diamonds still in her pocket. Abe returned to the hotel at night alone,saying that the woman had gone to visit friends. He packed his baggage, and burned some papers, and returned to Cincinnati, where he spent most of his time for two weeks in gambling, according to his habit. His demeanor was erratie, however, and he told his friends that somebody was following him. At length he shot himself in the head, but not fatally. About the ‘same time the body of Bess was found [in the Texas woods; with a bullet hole in: her head, ’l‘he,‘vtrzfimta of the luncheon were scatiter, 1 around, but’ the diamonds have never been found, ‘and it is supposed that, being turned ‘into money, they were used in the long and stubborn defeunse of the prisoner. e i
