, Mr. Wauamaker visited two or threo
Sunday schools last Sunday, but repotts do
not state whether he said anything about
the Golden Rule or not. It would be in
terestiug to know whether, in tho course
of the day, his thoughts wandered for . a
moment across the State of New Jersey to
Vineland, where Dr. Brewer very probably
also attended divine service, though with
lees ostentation. Dr. ' Brewer has beeu
pohtmaKter of Vineland until recently, and,
although a pronounsed Democrat, he was
bo popular with his fellow townsmen that
they preferred to have him retain the posi
tion, and the leading Republican paper of
the place openly said so. A large number
of leading citizens, without regard to party,
said the same thing, but it did not matter,
and Dr. Brewer was removed. Then some
body asked for a reason for his removal,
and Mr. Wauamaker's department prompt
ly and positively replied that it was for
cause, and added the suggestion that the
cause wa8 nnanoial irregularities. Dr.
Brewer, is a Democrat, - t'3t during the
twenty years he iias lived in Vineland he
has won the respect of his neighbors of
both parties. They ara unwilling uk ac
cent my such charges as : true withou
proof, and a committee ot well-kaown Re
pobUcanu, so that there could be no ques
tion of partisan favor, was organized to in
vestigate tho post.o0ice accounts tor. them
selves. They found everything in perl'oot
order, and willingly testified bo in the Re
publican paper of the town. This loaves
Dr. Brewer in an honorable position,
holding the coutideuco aud esteem Jpf his
fellow citizens; but us much cannot be said
of the department of which Mr. Wananur
ker is the head. He permitted an attempt
to blacken an honest man's character to go
unrebnked and unpunished, lie not oniy
did . as he - would not be douo by, but he
was a party to the meanest of all mean'
things backbiting and defamation. Mr.s
Wanamaker should try to be, abetter
Postmaster-General, or he . should inakt
himself Jess conspicuous at Sunday schools.
At present he is a Dr. Jekyll on Sundays
aud a Mr. Hyde the rest of tho week.

gross personal indignity to Mrs. W. ;T
Howie, a patient; that during tho present
year it was made known to him that one of
the attendants bad personally assaulted D.O.
Smith a patient, aud that the same had not

CLOSING
DAY.
MUS. ANNAIRWIN
There are many associations conneoted
with the closing hours of day, calculated to
inspire the mind with sublime and impres
sive thought. As the soft tints of. the sot
ting sun's last ray fades -away, and th
mountain's peak, the rugged crag, mell
cloud, so lately gilded by its beanHf-B(j
lost in the falline mists Of twilled nn.
seems to read his own sublunairQj, frno
reflection is natural "sooii,jgy BUn wm e
set, my day ot prefcatfon close and the
night of tomb gnSaer around me.'' How
instinctively. laen is the mind led to, the
4co
n temptation of him who made and poised
thatmight luminary, wno iormed onrlrame
aud .breathed into us the breath of life.
What more delightful hour than sitting
day. At this hour, all sC9k repose, and
uaturo seems to recline upon her rich and
variolated couch, the sultry globe recovers
from the scorching rays of the burning sun,
the gentle dew distils upon and revives the
tender plant, the busy Dee, tired and laden
with the toils of the day, with the tuneful
wing seeks the shelter of the hive; the
hum of business seases and the bustle of
the day gives placo to the hour of medita
tion. Phe poet til now shut out from the
visible world, quits his comer and casts
away the scrap and pen and saunters forth
to some sequestered bower to en joy nature's
universal calm aud catch the inspiration of
the closing day which is the time for hum
ble, grateful prayer.
