Bigotry.

Bigotry consists in being obstinately attached
to our own opinions or, in other words, In
tenacious adherence to system or opinion, a.
dopted without Investigation, and defended with
out argument, accompanied with malignant,
intolerant spirit towards all who differ. 1t must
be distinguished from love of truth, which infu-
ences man to embrace it wherever he finds 1t
and from true ZEAL which is an ardor of mind,
exciting its possessor conscientiously to defend
and propagate the principles he maintains with
the meekness of wisdom. Bigotry Is kind Of
prejudice, combined with certain degree Of
malignity. 1t may be exempGfed in the follow
ing sentence When Jesus preached, prejudice
cried, can any good come out of Nazareth?--
Cruelty him, cruelty him, said bigotry. Why,
what evil hath he done replied candOr.
Bigotry is mostly prevalent with those who
are ignorant; who have taken up principles with
out due examination, and who are naturally OF a
morose and contracted disposition. 1t is often
manifested more in unmportant sentiments, or
the circumstantials of religion, than the essen
tals of it. Simple bigotry is the spirit of per-
secuton, without the power; persecution is
bigotry, armed with power, and carrying its
will into effect. One said, awe have law
and by our law he ought to die" AS it ls the
effect of ignorance, so 1t is the nurse of it, be-
cause it precudes free inquiry, and is an enemy
to truth it cuts, also, the very snews of char
ity, and destroys moderation and mutual good
will.
If we consider the difference in the minds oi
men, our own ignorance, the liberty all men
have to think for themselves, tho admirable ex-
ample our Lord has set US of different spirit
and the baneful effects of this disposition, we
must at once be convinced of it's improperly
How contradictory it is to sound reason, and how
nimlcal to the peaceful religion we profess to

Here my Mother Knelt with
Me.

The Rev. Mr.. Xnill, well known to the reli-
gous world by his evangelical labors in Russia,
was the child of pious mother. Among his
letters, he gives the following interesting remi-
niscence:
AFTER spending q large portion of my life
in foreign lands, returned again to visit my
native village. Both of my parents died while
/ was in Russia, and their house is now occu-
pied by my brother The furniture remains Just
the same as when was boy, and at night
was accommodated with the same bed in which
I had often slept before; but my busy thoughts
would not let me sleep. was thinging how
God had led me through the journey of life
Al last the light of the morning d0rted through
the little window, and then my eye caught the
spot where my bainted mother, forty years be-
fore, took my hand and said, Come, my dear,
kneel down with me, and will 60 to prayer
This, completely overcame me. | seemed to
hear the very tones of her voice. l recollected
some of her expressions, and burst into tears,
and arose from my bed, and fell upon my knees,
just on the spot where my mother kneeled, and
thanked God that had once praying moth
er. And oh! if every parent could feel what
felt then, | am sure they would pray with their
children, as we'll as for them.

Alexander and Constantine, was equally fruit

Alexander and Constantine, was equally fruit
less.
After Alexander had been acknowledged as
Emperor, by acclamation Of the Guards, the
Aoubows and General Phalen left the palace TO
repair to their posts in the city. Bennington
remained at the palace of ST. Michael in charge
of it and the imperial family. He was commits
stoned, probably by the Emperor Alexander, to
go the Empress, and beg her to tranquilize her
self. When he appeared before her, she asked
him if she was at liberty.
He replied in the negative, locked the door,
and put the key into his pocket. Thereupon she
commanded him to open it again, and to give
orders that she should have free passage whlth-
ersoevel she chose to go. He answered that
he was not empowered to do SO, and added
"The Emperor Alexander the En-
press interrupted him, throwing her hands to
heaven, and exclaiming-" Alexander who
made him Emperor" THE nation, Madam;
the Guards have proclaimed him." "But who
formed the conspiracy" All classes were con-
cerned in it-mitary, civilians, and courters."
Let me go to the Emperor Alexander "No
madam; | cannot do So" "Ah, General, ! will
make you repent this" returned the Empress.
She continued to insist on going to her sons,
until Benningsen at length said" will agree
to it on two conditions: that you will not pause
upon the and that you will speak to nobody"
81 promise you that" she answered. Benning-
at once placed sentries, with strict njunc-
tions to let no one approach or answer her. In
this way she reached Alexander, who advanced
10 meet and embrace her, and with whom she
found number Of the chief conspirators.
She did not see her husband till they had
dressed him in his uniform, and laid him ont up
on a camp bed III the room in which he died -
A glance sufficed to remove all doubt as to the
manner of his death, and her afiliction was sc
violent that it was only by force that she coult
be removed from the apartment.

Singular Dream.

The WOodstock Mercury relates the following
truth of which it has the authority of the great
artist himself Poets-and Sculptors and Paint
ers are Poets-.are liable to these "dreams,"
though few Of them are endowed with the facul-
ty divine to embody them as PowERs has done.
The celebrated sculptor Hiram Powers, in
letter to his cousin, DR.. Thomas E. Powers,
speaking of his statue of the Greek Slave, ex-
presses his pleasure in learning that it had been
exhibited in this town, and says that its exnibi-
ton here almost fully realizes an oft-repeated
dream which occurred to him many times, and
for years, commencing when he was child re-
siding on the banks of the Quechee, and that
it followed him after his removal to Ohio, and
until the time he commenced modelling his
statuary. He says that he saw in his dreams,
across the river from his fathers house, and IN
the rear of his uncle's house, a white female
figure, exceedingly beautiful, standing on pill
lar or pedestal. 1t did not seem to possess life,
and his boyish fancy was perplexed with the ra-
diant vision, as he had never seen anything like
it, and had no idea of statue. He often at
tempted to approach it in the hope of being able
to make more distinct observation, but the
water was deep and the current rapid, and he
was never able to procure nearer view than
was afforded him from the west bank of the
river.
Such is the relation of Powers, and such
seems to be the origin of the idea of his unrival.
led statue. The idea is poetic one, and its
embodiment is as worthy of the pencil as that
of the " Artists Dream"

The Morrow beyond the Grave.

N. P. Willis, speaking of the indirect prob
abilities of the reality of the phenomana which
so many believe to be communications from the
spirit world, makes these suggestive remarks:
" With knowledge miraculously enlarging in
every other direction, it seems natural that we
should make at least some measurable progress
in comprehending the spirits first step into the
new eXistance. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
that death should always be terror and it
would not be at all out of measure with other
Providential ameliorations Of human life, if we
were yet to look forward to clearly understood
tO-mOnO OW beyond the grave as we now do to a
morning beyond night of weariness--laying off
our bodies without fear as we lay off our gar
ments 10 60 to sleep. Such a sofening of our
lot would not come about in day, nor by
miracle, but would easily arrive by gradual
letting of light into the first dread darkness of
eternity, and by enabling us 10 speak, from this
side the brink, to those who are beyond"

Anecdote of a Sailor.

Some years ago, in ship-of-war, there was
sailor whose vices had brought upon him all
the grades of punishment which his commander
could possibly inAct. The power of the cat
could not subduo his rebelious spirit, and no
means were at hand for court martial. The cap
tain resolved to disgrace the man, and ordered
him to be dressed in petticoat and cap, and
walk the gun.deck before all the ships compa.
ny in the character Of an old woman. He had
not taken three rounds of the deck, amidst the
jibes and jeers and tobacco juice of his shipmates
before he came penitenty to the commander and
implored him to punish him like man, and
give him the cat-he was man and could bear
it, but such q punishment-to be laughed at
and spit upon by his companions, he could not
endure, and rather than suffer it, would Jump

he had the courage to execute such threat. or
to commit suicide in any way.
The captain replied he had SO often tried all

glad to find that he had at last hit upon one
which seemed to be answering his purpose. and

Reasons for Learning to Sing.

William Bryde, one Of the greatest musicians
of the Elizebeth age, In the preface of his COL
lection Of Psalms, and Songs of Sadness and
Pietie," published in 1898, gives the following
reasons for learning to sing, the amusing quaint
ness of which is mingled with good sense
" Reasons brehe set down by TIL auctor to per-
suade everie one to sing IL. 1t knowledge
easily taught and quicke learned, when there
is good teacher and an apt scholar. 2. The
exercise of singing is delightful TO nature and
good to preserve the health of man. g. 1t doth
strengthen all parts Of the heart, and doth open
the pipes a. 1t is singular good remedie for
a suffering and stammering in the speech. s.
1t is the best means to preserve perfect pro.
nunciatlon, and to make good orator. G. 1t is
the only way to know where nature has bestow-
ed the benefit of a good voyce; which gift is so
rare, that there is not one amongst thousand
that hath it; and in mamie that excellent gift s
lost because they want an art to express nature
IL. There is not any musicke of instruments
whatsoever comparable to that which is made
of the voyce of men, where the voyces are good,
and the same well sorted and ordered. g. The
better the voyce is, the meeter it is to honor and
serve God herewith; and the voyce Of man is
chiefly to be employed to that end. Omnis 8pir-
itus laudt Domnum.
Since singing is so good thing.
