Representative Burrington found him self in a ratber unpleasant predicament on Friday morning when be reached the legislative balls in Boston, It seems that a very important bill came up in hie absence Thursday and he was charged by the newspapers as having "dodged" a vote on the question. This was a mis- take, however, as he had "paired" with Repricentative Ames of Lowell, who had forgotten to register the "pair," placing our Franklin representative in a false and decidedly unpleasant ligbt. The charge was all the more unwelcome, as the bill was one upon which no less than twenty one members had changed their vote upon a reconsideration, thus

Then the regular church service was fol- lowed out, the music by the choir being unusually tine. The programme was 11- terspersed, accompanied with the famil- iar bugle calls from the rear of the choir by Messrs, Hosford and Bly. Pastor Sleeper's address was extremely patri- otic, meeting tbe important issue of the day, and teaching at the same time a lesson which will not soou be forgotten- MODERN IDOLATRIES.

His text was Exodus xx., 3: "Thon shalt bave no otber gods before me." His thoughts grouped around three great principles-(1) worship of country, (2) worship of political party, (3) worship of earthly things. The prosperity of our patlon is the miracle of all bistory. Yet thus herein is our peril. There is a motto baving altogether too much influence in vur land. It is, "My country whether right or wrong." And sometimes this has been enforced by the party whip. Men who bave dared stand true for God and righteousness have felt the sting of

has shivered scores of kingdoms to atoms and will our own if we are not divinely right. He who handles the infinite stars and darts His lightnings along the bonnd- less sky will crush us in the grasp of omnipotence if we rebel.

It is necessary that we have at least two political parties in our land watch- ing each other as keen-eyed censors, giv- iug neitber sleep;to their eyes nor slumber to their eyelids by day or by night. The safety of our land lies in the free discus- sion of every great public question, until each school boy or school girl fully un- derstands it, The worst danger to our country is a gagged tongue througbout the land, when men are afraid to speak out their honest convictions. The most terrible foe of our nation is the political autocrat determined to rule with a rod of iron, and who when he cannot will blight and kill. We say, "Hands off from men's souls and consciences." Each citizen is to carry bis political sov- ereignty under his own hat and none must dare interfere.
