A DASH OF B,eoTRy-Tbere is some

a DASH OF BIGoTRY.-There is some
hing after all, really admirable in a
genuine bigot-a man who never doubts
the Justice ofhis cause, nor the triumph
ant and eternal life that animates the
truth which he maintains. Such a
mans opinions are worth something to
himself. and are certain to communicate
themselves to other minds. The world
is loval to every one who is loyal to
himself-and to every man whose un-
wayering mind is filled with decisive and
living convictions of duty and truth
Napoleon, General Taylor, and even
Joe Smith, were men of this stamp the
first believed himself to be man of
destiny the second never knew when
he was beaten and the third by his
tenacity of purpose drew a multitude
about him who followed him to death.
The truth is-the world delights to
gut tits trust in some steadfast mind,
whose convictions do not simply stand
with force proportioned to its logical
powers. 1t is bigot who generally
leads the people. The popular judg-
ment of to day pronounces such men as
Calvin, Luther and Loyola, as guided
and inspired by blind spirit of intoler-
ance. We have the impertinence to
piav while we admire such man as
Pascal. We have hard names for Crom-
we'll and Milton and wonder that they
did not perceive things which are self
evident to us. We have learned to
speak of the first hardy settlers of New
England carefully and with many grains
of allowances for their superstition and
intolerance We neglect to lay due stress
upon the vigor and vitality of great
ruling thought that possesses a people
like them. They were bigots - but a
splendid and heroic race for all that
The critic, the logician, the nice weigh
er of reason and balancer of probabili-
ties seldom stamps himself upon the
age. 1t is the bigot who founds en-
pires and leads the people.
Our conclusion is that dash of big
otry-which, after all, is but exaggera-
ted faith in ones self or ones principles
is good thing to have in this practi-
cal and rough and tumble world of ours.
A bigot is sure to prove himself posi-
tive and active force in the community,
capable of influencing others, aud very
likely to outlive reproach. - Neeo York
