COGITATIONS The laborer* In the Vineyard--^ Parjpble of To-Day. ’ I f ' Now it came to pnssr that a certjjin man Over against Sockum Ridge wanted to hire laborers for hia vloe* yard. There was much wot;kto|<i and he wanted all the men he ho i|i get,. . * S -And it was so. * 'v-.'iV --fo They came from all the region round about to get the jobs. Some came because they wanted a job and some because tlieii- credit had run oqt at the corner grocery. Still others; came' to work ‘because their wives;, told them they had either tq ’work or starve. And some even came •to get a job because their wives’ fathers had told them they had eilher to fish or cut bait. And it was,so. < ..Some belonged to the Jerusalem labor union and still others did not. And those who belonged to- no union wist not how it was. The unioumen all gtitjobs first.;. Those who did not have a union card got the marble heart and even when they.got a job they didn’t know any better than to work from morn­ ing till .night,or from rising of the sun till the letting thereof, Aud the union men waxed exceed­ ingly .wroth against these rOen who hired, out to work, instead of to kill tinaec and to attend meetings of the union., „ . "■ . . i r. The man. who Fad the ‘vineyard went 1 out again about the sixth hour and aaw men standing around the corner grocery aud they were arguing about the war in South Africa and they would have stootHhere from the rise of sun until the going down thereof, while their wives were at home enjoying themselves over a steaming hot wash tub, so the children would have -shoes to wear to school. And the man who hired laborers saw them stand there and he knew that, unless the men went home soon their wivei would have to wait for soap to finish the washing. And it was so. « Bnt these men felt that the war in Sooth Africa was not being properly conducted and were swearing a t the war experts for allowing it to go out at it had; and it was so. S« the rasa said to them, why stand you here all the day idle? And they nearly fell dead, for they were not laborers who worked work* but they worked the voters around about elec­ tion time and they liked if. And be said under them even a second time, why don’t you go to Work?' Aud they replied, because no one has hired us, The man fooled them and Mid unto them, go to work an d ! will pay you what is right and they wist not how to gel out of It, And they went to work. But there were some union men who talked more about the eight hour a day system than they did about the work In the vineyard and they had beta farther away from home, even as far as Chicago, While there they had also joined the union and after that they called nil who did not be­ long to the union scabs, And so they stood around until the eleventh hour cussing the goverment and the world itt general. And So when the eleventh hour had come they knew that they would have b n t« short time to work. And when they had Wrought until the going down of the sun the man «nkt his foreman ont to pay them off. And it was so. And whewhe cam* to the eleventh hear men he wist not how It was,; They alaimed full pay.

The following from the Leaves of Healing, Dowic’s official organ, is what Prof John H. Sayrg, Superin­ tendent of our Public Schools, thinks of our ministers and church goer?: “The Lord has blesfced us with a glorious meeting, conducted by Elder A. F. Pence, of Mari tfi, Ohio, and Deacon Merchantell, of Forest, Ohio. We had good, attentive audiences, and we know the Lord was iti them. Two sisters followed their Lord in Triune Baptism, All the churches here except Zion follow the Roman Catholics, and not Christ, |u baptism. People arc learning thattlio blessings bf God arc on the faithful. Not n local minister had the Christ­ ian courage to attend a single service. finite a number of stinkpots left the room disgusted (we hope at their dirty, filthy habits,) 1 God is- blessing us with earnest listeners every Sunday afternoon at ourgatherings, To* ministers fight us Ireland our hacks, but have not enough of the Spirit of God to acknowledge their false teaching* They are going to eternity on “settled conviction?," like Haul of Tarsus went to Damascus.

The Church Census Takers Canvassed Philadelphia with its Million arid a . Half Inhabitants in OneDuy. The church census recently taken in this city was watched witli interest bv thousands of Christians throughout the United States .and England. So, gigantic un undertaking,, as- that of canvassing a city of nearly one and a half jmillious.of people, in' one day, had never .bjeen accomplished, Pe­ culiar interest was attached Jo it be­ cause it was the w(p-k of the church. It’s friends were' anxious it should, succeed,, while"those ill-affected to­ ward the church were disposed to take •pleasure in-doubting the possibility of its success. ■ ’ The'work Q? helping to collect the, statistics .afforded me employment for all of the working hours o f the day. Over two-hnndred families were vis tied. The first section iu which I was employed illustrates how closely situ ated to each other ore the very poor est aud.- wealthiest in the city. On that block I entered houses. in which families with ten members lived in three rooms, and within fifty yards, homes'in which the numerous ser­ vants, costly Brussels and rich tapes­ try, indicated wealth which brought all luxuries nitd -delicacies of life. And so some starve and freeze while others danefe arid stag and laugh. The first affront of the day was a' strong -on*- ’ Entering a.small roonji, which I had i-eache'd through a junk shop,ja six.foot, two hundred pound- woman , fiaucily replied, wjien; asked for the .name: . * , ■... “Ain’t this a free country?” “Oh, yes." “Ain’t we got a right to worship who we please?” ' “Oh, yes,” ugftiU’very politely. “Weil, then this is none o’ yer business, E f I'd come ’round' and ask you. ?Doyou yon pay your debts?’ Would you answer me? |No, sir! its none o’ yer Business;” ■ Desirous of some information; we remarked “Well’then, you don’t care for God or the Bible at all.” A t this a Ihrgemuscular man arose, told me to go, pointed the way, and,' —— I went, A few steps brought me to the homes of tbp. aristocracy- Here the haughty servants delighted to trample my ambitions and frustrate my pur­ poses. At one such home the colored servant was some time deciding whether mistress was in. Nor would he give me any information. He came to the conclusion, and so announced, that the mistress was not in, when she appeared at the rioor. By way of apology for the conduct of the servant, (which site “ painfully re<> gretted”), she solaced mo by remark­ ing. “ Our servants must bo instructed to keep out all* irresponsible persons, and,-‘ -“well; all beggarei you know;” whicih apology was so flattering that I unavoidably thanked her. She then gave me all information desired. In the same block a fionee w*s visited from which swung a sign-, “Sam Jones, Boot and Shoe Maker and Repairer.” Art elderly cobbler “ Is there a family in this house?1" “ You see’s him,” was the reply.

I t isa curious fact that *the capac­ ity for lyiug, ‘which seems to be so natural for some people is not a natural art at all but A . culti­ vated one. People don’t Have to he taught to tell the truth bjit do'have to learn to lie. It is.an easy thing to learn we admit, but it has to be learned; for all that. Ask a small child a simple question and ninety- nine times out of' a hundred it will answer it correctly. I t couldn’t-answer it any other way if it wanted to. with out-betraying the lie in its facial ex­ pression, it is so used to giving, the answer that-comes from- the heart, uot otherwise as in tue following anecdote:' Mamma was talking to Effie about the absence of Edith from the cliil- dren’s.party. “ You are sorry,” said mamma, “ that Edith could not come?” Effie replied having enjoyed herself, “Oh; I don’t mind much.” To which mamma rejoined. “But Edith is ill! that is' why she couldn't come." You niqst be. sorry.” Effie considered. ‘‘Yes, of course, I ’m sorry,” she said, *b,nt it doesn’t hurt mer-^iuside.” „ * 1 ; Jb . , ■ ■ ; . “And may Icotue again,” he said “To see you?” Rut she'shook* her head,’ “You can not very well you know” SheAnswered, “If you never go.” ' He went. . Oc.O; ■ * ' We saw an instance of i t the other day. A‘lahorer on a public' building was breaking a large stone-with a sledge hammer. Blow after blowfell upon the same point without making any apparent impression. After re­ peated strokes it seemed like useless work aUd one could not help wonder­ ing why the workman did not give it up or take another Btone. But, still he swung the ponderous sledge hitting each time,the.self-same place. Finally after long and repeated efforts fhe whole stone is shattered into frag;- ments. . " ; Time and again in these columns we have mentioned the .>ack«woodish conduct of some of the people who a ttendee opera house, but it seems that our blows have had no effect on their thick headed skulls. They are as liable as ever to break out in a boisterous laugh, just in the most ser­ ious time of the play, showing that they in no way comprehend the per­ formance. A stranger attending some of the plays in the opera house this week would have declared that that was the first show that had ever entered Ccdarville. Now, if this blow doesn’t do any good, we will try aniThit these thick skulled people harder, next time. <r- *W . * We wonder if the people who have been attending the show every uigbt this week at the Opera .House will beable to ' be at ‘ church to­ morrow morning, or will they be atoo sleepy. We don’t wonder very much though,' in fact it Would-be ti wonder if they did go and our preachers wou 1 dcotiehler.it the .eighth wonder of the -world. V The excuses people givo for their actions wouldn’t always pass muster if put to the test, in fact very few of them would stand a thorough invest! gatiou.. And the flimsiest of the whole role of excuses is that old worn out one, “ I havn’t time.” How often do we give that as an excuse for tteft-performatire of some duty, How often this week have we heard that thoughtless lie spoken. I heard « hoy tell his mother that “he didn’t have time” to bring in a bucket of ooal, had to study, and ia fiftwm minutes h* waa absorbs*! t o a thrift tog story. I beard a jrepM ted Ms found time to attend t^e show, every night during the week,, ° . A. married mam declared to bis wife that he didn’t have time to mind the baby while she washed the dinner dishes and then loafed in the barber shop all afternoon. So we would go on naming instance after instance,-.wherein the same old excuse was given and not one of them would hold water. In the name of common decency letWesurrect some­ thing new with more truth in it. - '***' A gentleman from the vicinity of Clifton tells us a story on a young couple,- -which, if it hadn’t come on such good authority, would have been hard for us,to believe. A young ptan of tips place brought a lady from near Yellow Springs to the b I iow , Monday night.- They Were' returning after the show was over 'and out on the Clifton pike, near Nathan Ram’sey’s one of the taps that- holds the wheels in their place was lost, the wheel came; off and as a ' result the buggy was upset and the couple thrown ini a snowdrift They got up aBbest they could.jflnd righted*. tb.e hoKgyi- but were.unable to find* -the tag. Not knowiugt what..else to do, .they, got back in .the buggy and -concluded to enjoy one another’s company-and wait for something to turn up. Soma time afterward they were.found; by some pedestrians - returning from town.'wbo inquired the Cause of their, trouble. Upon being told, they asked the young couple what they were go- iug to tlo .T h e young, map replied that his didn’t’see ab they could do anything, the tap was lost, they- couldn’t find it and they couldn’t go on without it. The .men suggested; to them that they go on up to the next house and see if they couldn't^ find a tap. This they did and were successful in procuring one from an old buggy. We would suggest to this young man that the next time he goes on a similar mission to take his father along with him. The money that was paid out by this county for the expenses of the Martin trial, was $6,418,23. The board bill at the Florence Hotel for keeping the jury and court bailiffs was $746.
