The New ENGLAND THEocRAcY. Boston :
Gould & Lincoln
This is very noticeable work. Its fuller
title is; "A History of the Congregational
lists in New England to the Revivals of 174O.
By Ii. F. Uhden. Translated from the Ger
man by H. c. Conant." Besides the Trans
lator's Preface, there is one written by the
late Dr. Neander, from which itappears that
the work owes its origin to prompting
of his own. A sentence from this preface
gives the reader clue to the drift of the
main part of the work. Referring to the work
as preparatory to a correct view of the pre-
sent ecclesiastical and religious state of this
country, he says: "lt will show how the re-
action from the one-sided principle of a
Church Theocracy, derived rather from the
Old than from the New Testament, helped
to bring about the subsequent total separa-
ton of Church and State The work be-
gins with the rise of the Independents in
England, follows them to Leyden, thence to
New England, and sets forth the two funda-
mental principles of Congregationalism-
shows how the earliest settlers of New Eng
land started with the idea that the State was
to unfold within the Church, thus aiming
to make the Government Theocracy. 1t
then points out the steps by which, very soon,
this Theocratic Government gave place to one
where there was complete separation Of
Church and State, and bringing the history
down to the early part of the 18th century.
A chapter on the remarkable revivals of 174O
and thereabouts, and brief appendix close
the book. The work is one of uncommon
interest, and must be regarded as a valuable
addition to the literature of the day

They consume barrel of solid Pills, about
$4,000 doses and barrels of Cherry Pectoral
40 900 doses per diem. To what inconceva-
BILE amount of human suffering does this point !,
10000 doses day Fifty million of doses per
year !!l-What acres and thousand of acres of sick
beds does this spread before the imagination And
what sympathies and woe True, not all of this
is taken by the very sick, but alas much of it is.
This Cherry Drop and this sugared Pill are to be
the companion of pain and anguish and sinking
sorrow-the inheritance mother Eve bequeath-
ed to the whole family of man. Here the infant
darling has been touched too early by the blight
that withers half race Its little lungs are
affected and only watching and waiting shall tell
which way its breath shall turn. This red drop on
Its table is the talisman which its life shall
hang. There the blossom of the world Just burst
ing into womanhood, is stricken also. Affections
most assiduous care skils not, she is still fading
away. The wan messenger comes nearer and near
er every week. This little medicament shall go
there, their last perhaps their only hope. The
strong man has planted in his vtals, this dis
ease. This red drop by his side is helping him
wrestle with the memorable enemy; the wife of his
bosom and the cherubs of his heart waiting in
sick sorrow and fear lest the rod on which they
lean in this world, be broken.

nation. But under the present order of things
the ambition of the scholar or parents controls hi
prom otion, except the teacher, by interfering
can prevent 1t. In the Graded System, a scholar
could not enter higher class, until by actual trial
he was found prepared to enter it. Thus the teach
or would never be at loss to know the attachments
or capacities of his scholars, and what he mi ght
reasonably expect and require of them. lie
can then apply his instruction understandingly
compelling the pupil to perform the task assigned
MIN without fear of being unreasonable in his re-
quirements
A third advantage of the Graded System il, that
1t would relieve the teacher of the labor which now
belongs to the financial interests of the present
form of Academy School. No means, either ordin-
airy or extraordinary would need to be put forth to
secure patronage-no running here and there, by
the teacher to collect in little fragments the money
which, by hard labor, he has already earned. These
cares and anxietes being entirely removed by
provision for his support from the public funds, he
could direct his undivided attention to the active
discipline and improvement of his School. An
overdue amount of labor and care would not COM
pei him to leave the profession for some other
easier and more lucrative. He would continue
permanently in the School, and thus add, in time
to its usefulness, the advantage of experience and
long acquaintance with the immediate wants of the
School and vicinity in which he labors.
The three advantages now enumerated would Sc
cure good teachers, good scholars and studies well
adapted to the means and capacities of both.

The following communication seems to
settle the Richmond question, and we must
decline to give further space to the controvcr-
sv in our columns.

RICHMOND Oct. goth, 1898.
Nessrs. Editors Ere. Press;
In an article in the Sentinel
dated Richmond Oct. 18th, a very grave question
is asked which propose to answer
But first let me ask: Where art thou, Jonathan ?
And why hast thou left the contest to thine ESQUIRE
and his son? Perhaps Jonathan is too ancient a
name for modern Democrat. Cue is lust the
thing-it represents the Northern Democracy ex-
actly.
Cue wants to know, if our Representative was not
Democrat, why did leading Republicans donounce
those who voted for him If leading Republicans
denounced any one for voting for Mr.. Fay, it was,
doubtless, owing to their giving too much credit to
the statements of leading Democrats who stated,
before and after election, that the Representative
elect would vote for a democratic organization of
the House of Representatives. Perhaps friend 30"
is not acquainted with the political history of our
Representative He was Democrat up to lS4s;
In lS4S he voted with the Free Soil men for Van
Buren,; in 1852 for John ?. Hale; in 1856 for Mr.
Fremont He says he is as true Republican as
there is in the State. If that is not evidence enough
to satisfy friend Q, it may be proper to state that
Mr. Fay has attended the Republican Caucuses at
Montpelier, and has voted for Republican Speak
er, Clerk and all the other Republican officers that
have been elected. Really, if he is Democrat, he
is OF the right kind and unless the former Democ-
racy turn another somerset they will be found next
September working shoulder to shoulder with
Bank Common, for the election Of the same Repub.
lican Representative.
