Correcting some inaccuracies in a
published statement, George Edwin
Jepson of the Boston Custom House,
writes to the Boston Herald saying:
“Hawthorne was not a w'eigher in
the Boston Custom House in 1839-41.
but a measurer, the two offices at that,
period being essentially distinct. Nor
was he turned out of office by the
Whigs in 1841, as you state, and un
due odium is thereby cast upon that '
party. In the Boston Custom House
archives is an official copy of a letter
from Collector Bancroft, which not'
flos the Treasury Department at Wash
ington that Nathaniel Hawthorne re
signed his position Jan. 1, 1841. The
Whigs did not assume power until the
following March, and consequently
could exert no pressure to force out a
Democratic officeho.’der before that
date.
“Hawthorne, in fact, had never been
contented in official harness from the
first. He felt out o’ place amid the
associations of official life. When
scarcely a year in place he writes thus
in his private journal: T pray that in
one year more I may find some way of
escaping from this unblest custom
house, for it is a very grievous thrall

MYS0PH03IA THE LATEST.
What This Learned Term Means to
the Great Majority.
The medical profession has con
ferred no small boom on many suffer
ers by Inventing a Greek, or pseudo
Greek, term for their otherwise demo
cratic complaints, says the London
Graphic. The last of these inventions
is recorded this weeK. The disease is
fussiness, and the medical name is
mysophobia. The mysophobe is he
who, when seated by his table, lifts
his glass to see if it is fingered, and
if he detects a smudge uses his nap
Kin to dispose of it. In short, myso
phobia is the exaggeration of that re
spect for cleanliness which convinced
Svengali of the madness of English
men when he surprised the Laird in
his matutinal tub. The lady in the
piay who seized on everyone’s watch
chain and began rubbing it with cha
mois leather was a mysophobe, and
the irritating man who begs your
pardon and picks some microscopic
piece of fluff from your sleeve is an
other. The servant who insists on
dusting papers is another, and the dis
ease is widely prevalent among all
housekeepers in the spring. It is nice
to know at last wht.t to call It, but the
medical press is more inclined to sug
gest scientific names than remedies.
| GLASS YOU CANNOT 8REAH

Used as a Hammer.
Louis Kauffeld, a European glasa
worker, makes extraordinary claim,
for a new kind of glass he has just dis
covered. It is a glass of such natun
that will not break, that can be mold
ed into any desired form, that can bt
hammered without catastrophe—it
1 short, a glass that will be as maliea

a glass pane, and then patch it witi
another piece of the same kind o
glass. Coffee pots and tea kettles cal
1 he made of the new substance, am
will no more crack, even under tin
most intense heat, than would steel.

WHAT MADE IT VALUABLE
Unique Explanation Made by Porto* 1
guese “Antiquarian *\
John C. Groom, captain of the First
City troop, while in Porto Rico during
the war with Spain, undertook to pur
chase some relics of historic interest
that should serve as souvenirs of the
campaign when he returned home. He
ran across a shrewd Portuguese who
had been doing a thriving business as
an "antiquarian" with other members
of the troop; and bargaining at once
began. The fellow's assurance was
developed beyond anything CapL
Groom had ever before encountered;
and there was placed on display a fine
array of jewelry, weapons, manu
scripts and odd articles of attire that
were patently “fakes.” Groom shook
his head and was turning away when
the 'antiquarian'' recalled him with
an assertion that he had a pistol which
was originally the property of Chris
topher Columbus. He added that it
had been in the keeping of a Peruvian
relative for many years; and Capt.
Groom asked to see it. He was shown
a revolver of modern pattern, dingy
and rust-encrusted, with the hammer
snapped as though in the processes of
“antiquitating.”
“You rogue!” exclaimed the Phila
delphian, amused but irritated at hav
ing been called back. “Revolvers were
not made in Columbus’ day!”
“Si. senor—I know! I know!” ex
plained the Portuguese. “And that,
gracious senor, is what makes this so
rare!”—Philadelphia Ledger.

Prospective Bankrupt Sought Informa
tion Before His Failure.
According to Mr. John Claflin. pres
ident of the H. B. Claflin company, his
father, the founder of the house, made
a strong effort to maintain personal
relations with his customers. He al
ways encouraged buyers to come to
him for a friendly talk, and as far as
possible he advised them concerning
the matters in hand.
One day a customer called, and as
he entered the private office Mr. Claf
lin looked up from his desk and
called: “Hello, how are you feeling to
day ?“
“I'm feeling fine, Mr. Claflin; I never
was better.”
"And how is the business?”
“Oh, that’s different, Mr. Claflin. I
think I must have a failure.”
"What! A failure? How is that?
Haven't you made money?”
“I used to, Mr. Claflin. but not now;
business Is bad, very had, Mr. Claflin,
and I think I must fail.”
“Well, now, I’m sorry. But will it
be a bad failure? How much will you
pay?”
"Ah, that is what I want to see you
about. How much are they paying
now, Mr. Claflin?”

“Yea.”

The dewy ground was dark and cold;
Behind, all gloomy to behold;
And stepping westward seemed to be
A kind of heavenly destiny;
I liked the greeting: 'twas a sound
Of something without place or bound;
And seemed to give me spiritual right
To travel through that region bright.
The voice was soft, and she who spake,
Was walking by her native lake;
The salutation had to me
The very sound of courtesy;
Its power was felt; and while my eye
Was fixed upon the glowing sky.

A human sweetness with the thought
Of traveling through the world that lay
Before me In my endless way.

“Oh, papa!” weeps the beauteous
heiress, flinging herself into his arms
and breaking two cigars and the crys

“There, there,” soothes the father,

him, and was told that he would have
to leave the timepiece for about a
week.
"I wish you would loan me one to
carry,’ said Mr. Vedder, “for I am lost
without it.”
“Yes,” replied the jeweler, quickly,
“but if I loaned you one you might
get lost with it.”

j THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
I LESSON V, NOV. 2; JOSHUA 20:1-9—
CITIES OF REFUGE.
Golden Text—“God Is Our Refuge and
Strength, a Very Present Help in
Trouble”—Psalms 46:1—The Vclue
of Human Life.
1. The Goel, Avenging Justice.—There
are some crimes that must be removed
If a nation would exist and prosper. Such
are treason, which strikes at the life of
the nation, and murder, which strikes
at the existence of the family as well as
of the individual. Breaking the sixth
commandment wrongs not merely the In
dividual. It Is a threefold crime: 1.
Against the Individual. It takes away
his most precious possession; everything
so far as this world is concerned.
2. Against the family and the nation,
for it takes away the support of the
family, and one of the essential members
and defenders of the nation.
3. Against God. the giver of life.
Hence the severest punishment possible
Is meted out to whoever perpetrates this
crime, and ought to be, in order to pre
vent as many as possible from commit
ting the crime. No other punishment Is
adequate. We pity the murderer for his
suffering. We ought to have still mors
pity for the Innocent victims. When there
was no strong general government, but
small tribes with no authority over them
to appeal to, these tribes, or the rela
tives of the murdered person, were com
pelled themselves to punish the murderer,
who was naturally, in most cases, the
member of another tribe.
II. The Cities of Refuge.—Vs 1, 2, 7,
8. 2, “Appoint out for you” (R V.. "As
sign you the") "cities of refuge " Under
the circumstances described above. It
was necessary that there should be places
of asylum, where one who had uninten
tionally killed another could be safe from
the avenger, and where any one could
have a fair trial. “Whereof I spake unto
you by the hand" (the agency) “of
Moses." See Num. 35:9-34; Deut. 19:1-3,
where may be found a more detailed ac
count of the object of these cities.
The Cities Chosen. "There were six
cities appointed for this purpose, three
on either side of the Jordan, almost
equally remote from each other.
1. Kedesh, in Naphtall, In the north.
2. Sbechem, in Mount Ephraim, in the
center.
3. Hebron in Judah. In the south.
1. Golan, in Bashan, north.
2. Ramoth-Gilead, in Gad. center.
3. Bezt-r, in Reuben, south.
It requires only to look at the map to
see how wisely these spots were marked
out, so as to make a city of refuge easy
of access from all parts of the land. They
were chosen, it will be observed, out of
the priestly and Levitical cities, as like
ly to be inhabited by the most intelligent
part of the community."—Cambridge
Bible.
III. How the Cities of Refuge Accom
plished their Object.—Vs. 3-6, 9. First.
The persons for whom they were set
apart were only those who killed "any
person unawares and unwittingly." Lit
erally, "by error, without knowing," by
some mistake of judgment, or accidental
blow, without intending to injure. "They
shall be your refuge,” the refuge for all
the nation. Not only did the slayer need
protection, but the nation needed to he
defended from violence and crime, and
from doing wrong to persons who were
not at heart guilty of crime. Tt Is worse
to commit a crime than to suffer from
It.
IV. The Cities of Refuge as a Type.—
1. The Avenger. "Who is the avenger?
1-aw. What law? Criminal law. sanitary
law. social law. natural law. . . .
Wherever want stares, and vice reigns,
and rags rot, there the avenger takes
his stand. Delay him not. lie Is the
messenger of Christ. The very nature
of things is God's avenger.”—Professor
Drummond in The Programme of Chris
tianity. Conscience, the law of God, the
soul, is an avenger. All these are made
clearer and truer by the statement of
the woe of the Goel, the avenger of
blood, as given above. It is not revenge,
hut Justice and righteousness, through
punishment.
Christ is the City of Refuge. “It Is not
the church. It Is not the altar; it is
Christ himself who is the one and only
sacrifice for sin. and therefore the one
and only hiding-place to which the sin
ner can repair. In no place, person, or
thing—in no building, sacrifices, or rites
—is there any refuge for the guilty, save
the atonement of the cross; hut there
such a refuge Is provided as will meet
the case of sinners of every class, not
excepting the wilful murderer himself."
—T. Smith.
Christ is the city of refuge because God
has so appointed. To go to him involves
repentance of sin. forsaking of sin. the
choice of God and goodness as our por
tion, a new heart, and a new nature of
love. It brings us within every heavenly
power that can save from sin. every
high motive, the presence of the Holy
Spirit. Christ is not an arbitrary, but
a necessary city of refuge from sin.
The wilful and deliberate sinner has
no place in this refuge so long as he
continues in that state of mind. He
must be delivered to the avenger to lend
him to repentance, or to punish him if
he refuses to repent.
"God has done all he can to aid and
draw men to Jesus. Now, beloved, I
think tills is a picture of the road to
Christ Jesus. It is no roundabout road of
the law; it is no obeying this, that, and
the other; it Is a straight road; 'Be
lieve and live.' It is a road so hard
that no self-righteous man can ever
tread it; hut it is a road so easy that
every sinner who knows himself to be
a sinner might by it find his way to
Christ and heaven. And lest they should
be mistaken, God has sent me and my
brethren in the ministry to be like hand
posts in the way, to point poor sinners to
Jesus; and we desire ever to have on
our lips the cry. 'Refuge, refuge, refuge.'
Sinner, that is the way; walk therein,
and be thou saved."—Spurgeon.
"And once in this city of refuge, the
refugee must never leave It, but must
make it his abiding home. For our high
priest never dies. He died unto sin once;
but he now lives unto God forever. All,
then, who repair to him must dwell in
him continually; and, indeed. If they are
right-minded, they will have no desire
to forsake him for a moment."—T. Smith.
Christ is made as easy of access as
possible. He is everywhere present. The
conditions of salvation are as simple and
easy ns It is possible to make them.
Sabbaths, churches, meeting..-. Invita
tions from Christians, bring Christ as
near a* possible to every soul.
Self-Evident.
Abulfida, the Arabian philosopher of
the desert, being asked how he came
to know that there was a God, "In the
same way," said he. "as I know by
the prints that are made in the sand,
whether a man or a beast has passed
before me. Do not,” he added, "the
heavens, by the Bplendor of the stars;
the world, by the immensity of its ex
tent, and the sea, by the infinity of
the waves that it rolls, sufficiently
make known the power and greatness
of their author?"

In speed the English liners are
