THE SPIRIT OF LOVE.

Beyond all question, it is the unalterable
constitution of nature that there is efficacy,
divine, unspeakable efficacy, in love. The
exhibition ofkindness has the power to bring
the irrational animal into subjection. Show
kindness to dog, and he will remember it !;
he will be grateful; he will infallibly return
love for love- Show kindness to lion, and
you can thrust your head into his mouth ;
you can melt the untamed ferocity of his
heart into an affection stronger than death.
In all of Gods vast unbounded creation,
there is not living and sentient being, from
the least to the largest, not one, not even the
outcast and degraded serpent, that is insen-
BILE to acts of kindness. If love, such as
our blessed Saviour manifested, could be
introduced into the world, and exert it's ap-
propriate dominion, it would restore state
of things far brighter than the fabulous age
of gold; it would annihiate every sting; it
would pluck every poisonous tooth it would
hush every discordant voice. Even the in
animate creation is not insensible to this di-
vine influence. The bud, and flower, and
fruit put forth most abundantly and beauti-
fully, where the hand of kindness is extend.
ed for their culture And if this blessed i'll
Auence should extend itself over the earth,
moral garden of Eden would exist in eve
ry land; instead of the thorn and brier,
would spring up the fr-tree and the myrtle !;
the desert would blossom, and the solitary
place be made glad.-Bishop Lpham.

With cheer and bound the lads patter the ground,

Subdued by the smart of such painful yet sweet

hired, infinitely more so than it now is, oc-
cupied many of the thoughts and plans of
these young men. Daniel, in one of his let
ters, in one of his early letters, intimated
that he should soon forward small sum to
Ezekiel, then in college. Hereplied: The
very hint seemed to dispel the gloom that
was thickening around me. It seemed like /.
momentary fash, that suddenly bursts
through night of fclouds, or, as Young says:
$50 looked, in chaos, the first beam Of
light"
In 1905 Daniel ordered some law books
which he deemed essential to his profession;
al success but the money to pay the priceofs
them could not be found by the agency Of
both the brothers; he, therefore, wrote to
Ezekiel, then in Boston, as follows: ~
CAS- yet, I find it not in my power to pro- !
cure any money for the purpose of paying
for my books. I therefore am under the ne
cessity of requesting you to make my peace
with Mr. Parker. Give him something, if
aught you have to give to indemnify him for
his trouble and expense, and ask him tosput
the books again on his shelves; or, Of any
body in Boston is fool enough to lend you
money, please buy them foy me- The gen.
erosity of the bookseller, however, enabled
him to keep them.
In the same letter he remarks:
Some little business is done here, and. I !
get part of it. In time, perhaps, I shall
crafty my moderate and rational wishes
Previousto this date, it appears that he had
once procured the purchase money Of his
books and lost it by his agent. He wrote
respecting his loss: 1T is utterly out ofmy
power to repair the loss Of eighty-fye dollars.
I hired that money to friend in Salisbury,
and cannot, as know, hire again like sum-
In letter to classmate in 1903, he says:
sZeke is at Sanborton he comes home once
in while, sits down before the kitchen fire,
begins to joke and rattle the andirons; |
know what is coming, and am mute.s At
length he puts his feet up into the oven,
draws his right eyebrow up upon his fore
head, and begins very pathetic lecture on.
the evils of poverty. 1t is like church ser
vice; he does all the talking, and I only re-
spond, amen AMEN !'

poL1TENEss OF WOMEN.

A Cincinnati editor says that men are
more polite than women, and proceeds to
prove it in this wise :-"Not long since we
had occasion to ride short distance in one
of our city omnibuses: 1t was after dark,
and the omnibus started of, nearly filed
with men. Soon it stopped, and awoman
opened the door. Instantly there was move
among the men; they crowded together, and
seat was furnished the lady. Afterspro-
ceeding square or two further, another lady
wished to get in an additional squeeze was
made, and she was accommodated with seat.
A similar application was again soon made,
and gentleman instantly gave up his seat,
and got on top. Another soon followed, and
another gentleman did likewise. Repeated
instances like this occurred, and the gentle.
men, by crowding together, holding market
baskets and children, accommodated every
lady applicant, till we counted inside-men,
women, and children-nearly twenty persons;
Then the number began to diminish men
and children got out, and the omnibus was
decently filed with women, there being only
two men inside, and they at the further end,
completely blocked in by market baskets
And now woman opened the door; not
lady inside stirred. "Can have seat?"
modestly y asked the applicant ~ should
like to see where you'd Sit" said one lady.
"Don't you see this bus is full, i" said anoth.
er. "You can stand," sneeringly said q
third ri can walk. said the spunky ap-
plicant, and slamming the door, off she walk
ed. Now, had the omnibus been as full of
men as it was of women, that lady would
have been furnished seat without mur-
muir. But it is not only in the omnibus that
men show their superior politeness over NO,
men. In rainy day, if we meetstvo men
abreast on a crossing, one instantly steps be-
hind the other, and gives you passway.-
But if you meet two ladies, ten chances to
one, but you will have to step into the mud.
In crowded church, men will squeeze to-
gether to accommodate another man; but
ladies will spread themselves out, so that
three or four will ELL pew, and not an inch
will they move to accommodate one of their
own sex. So in railroad cars, and other pla-
ces where men and women congregate, and
where the true native disposition is instinc-
lively shown. We state these as general
cases. There are exceptions, OF course, but
We wish merely to draw attention to the
general fact, that while mans rudeness to
a woman is so rare as to attract notice when
it occurs, the rudeness of woman towards
a man, or towards another woman, is so com.
mon as to be considered matter of course.
If, among other "Woman's Rights" which
some ladies are now striving to obtain, they
will ingraft the right to be always courteous
and polite to each other, we men will take
care of ourselves, and them, too-God bless
'em. With all their faults, we love them
STILL"

COMPUTING TELEGRAPH.

THE CALCULATING MACHINE.-We used
to think it was a jest-the idea Of calcu-
lating machine; but We have seen it and its
ingenious proprietor, Mr. Fuller The rapid
ity and accuracy with which all business
problems are solved is truly surprising 1t
needs only to be seen to be admired. AL
though an American invention, it has been
extensively sold in England, France, Ger
many and Holland. Upwards of thirty Of
the principal London bankers have it in use.
1t computes interest, at every possible rate
per cent, upon any sum of money, for any
length of time, both at three hundred and
sixty and three hundred and sixty.fve days
to the year, and has most perfect time tele-
graph to compute the number of days any
note has to run. The work equations OF
payments, or average of accounts, is one OF
its conveniences. Copies have been pur-
chased in Washington by all the departments,
for use in the public Offices, as well as by
the principal bankers, merchants and me-
chanics. Less time is required to obtain an
answer to any business question than to pre-
pare the statement. Full printed directions
accompany the work. 1t is learned by one
or two hours study and practice. 1t occu-
pied a prominent place in the Crystal Palace.
In response to some questions yesterday,
he stated in less time than the questions
could be prepared or the answers recorded,
that the Rotunda of the Capitol, being 80
feet in diameter, would contain $3.50 per-
sons, and allow each % square feet, or IS
by IS inches. The Crystal Palace, he said,
being 1851 feet long, and 400 wide, with
an additional acre to the transeptor centre,
measures 18acres, and would contain at the
same rate 347, 900 persons upon the ground.
The population of the globe being estimated
at 9OO,OOO,OO0, could stand upon forty
square miles, or an area of six and 33-l00
miles square.
If 9O0,000,000 of persons pass away eve.
ry thirty years, and the world should be six
thousand years old, this would be equal to
200 times 900,000,000. Thus the entire
number of persons would have standing room
on 200 times 40 square miles, or 5000
square miles of land, or a trife less than min
ty miles square.
If If9OO,OOO,OOO die every thirty years, in
one year thirty millions die. If 30,000,000
die in 3G5 days, in one day $4,000 die. If
in "a hours $4,000 die, how many per hour?
Ans. 1920. fin 60 minutes this number
die, how many per minute? Ans. 81.
The expense of the United States House
of Representatives, at So per day, amounts to
s1,044. The salary of the President is s6S4
per day. The pensions of the late Queen
Adelaide, was 100000 per annum, equal
to 81, 1926 per day.
The revenue of the United States for 1851
at s52,OOO,00O, is equal to sl,65 cents per
second Washington Telegraph.

DANIEL AND EZEKIEL WEBSTER.

DANIEL AND EZEKIEL WEBSTER.
Professor Sanborn, of Dartmouth College,
has furnished the Boston Courier with sever
al interesting "reminiscences of Daniel Web
ster and his brother Ezekiel. We copy the
following:
Numerous letters written by these broth
ers, now in existence, and which are soon to
see the light, furnish abundant proof of their
mutual confidence, and particularly of the
hi,-h estimate which Daniel set upon his
brothers advice. In letter dated April,
1904, Ezekiel gives his opinion on question
proposed by Daniel, as follows: Agreeably
to your injunction, have thought and med
itated upon your letter for three days, and
for no considerable portion of three nights,
and now give you the result as freely as I
earnestly wish your welfare. am decided
ly opposed TO your going to New York, and
for several reasons. The expensiveness of a
journey to, and residence in that place, is,
with ME, q material objection. Secondly,
the embarrassments to which you will be
subjected, without finances to assist, or pat
ronage to support you. Thirdly, fear the
climate would be fatal to your constitution.
I have now told you what I would not have
you do; and I also tell you what I desire
you to do. I would have you decamp i'm
mediately from Salisbury, with all your bag
gage, and march directly to this place. -
Then he goes on to state the reasons for this
opinion which he had maturely formed
They were substantially the same which pl-
timately Influenced Mr.. Webster to remove
to Boston.
Daniels estimate of his brothers endow-
ments may be learned from the following
extract from letter, dated April rs, 1900:
you tell me that you have difficulties to en-
counter which I know nothing Of What do
you mean, Ezekiel? Do you mean to fat
ter? Ifso, be assured, you greatly mis-
take. Therefore, for the future, say in your
letters to me. Il am superior to you in ma
tural endownments I will know more, in
one year than you do now, and more in six
than you ever will I should not resent
this language-1 should be very we'll pleas
ed in hearing it; but, be assured, as mighty
as you are, your great puissance should nev-
er gain victory without acontest.' When
ever the brothers met in after years, and in
better circumstances, they were accustomed
to rehearse, with great glee, the trials and
hardships of their youth.
On one occasion, when Ezekiel on visit
to his brother in Boston, after rising from a
dinner, Ezekiel turned to his
brother and said, with great solemnity.
Daniel, do you think we shall live till
morningT
why What do you mean?' said Daniel.
Don't you remember said Ezekiel, chow,
when we were boys, at a certain time, we
had no meal in the house, and could not get
no corn ground, and our mother fed us on.

going up to bed, you turned round on the
