MORAL INSANITY OF THE DEvIL.-In his
new novel, "Seacliffe," Mr.. DeForest treats
his readers to the following specimen of
theological philosophy, in answer to the
question, "What does the devil keep up
the fight for, when he knows he can't
whip?"
"Why, the truth of it probably is that
Lucifer is grossly selfdeceived Individual
ly with regard to his chances. The more
immoral man is, the more liable to de-
ception on moral questions. A thoroughly
bad man, for example, holds that every
body else is, at heart, as bad as himself,
and if not SO savingly, is more firmly con-
WINGED Of the doctrine of total depravity
than the most devout Calvanist. Moral
insanity, in short, generates more or less OF
mental insanity. Now, the devil, being
indefinitely wickeder than any human
being can be, is, in proportion, infinitely
more subject to delusions in regard to the
comparative extent and power of the two
principles of good and evil. He perpetu-
ally expects to see the entire universe
coming over to his party. More than this,
he believes that at this very moment every
saint and every angel is at bottom hypo-
critic. He has fully expected to catch ev-
cry tempted, wearied, but praying and vic
torious pilgrim that ever trod the shadowy
valley, and passed between the lines, and
forded the dark river, and entered with
noise of hymns into the golden city. Every
time that martyr has witnessed
good confession and risen from
the stake on fiery pinions to the foot of the
Great White Throne, this irreclaimable
victim of moral insanity has been as much
astonished, and his ardent expectations
have been as much outraged, as if the cir
cumstance had never happened before"

this volume is equalled only by his modest est
mate of the value of his labors. He deserves The

household. 1t is well calculated to put our spuri-

to the blush of shame for the cruel prejudice
against the colored people, to which they so in
sanely cling, and for denying to them the rights
and privileges of manhood, and booming them to
social prescription and virtual outlawrv, in land
for whose deliverance from oppression their faith
ers freely shed their blood.-AnhSlarery Standard
The title the native colored people of this
country to be considered as "men and brethren
OF the whites, has been often contested by ungen-
erous men, who are willing to consider the negro
| as q "person," but reject his claims to citizen
ship. In this volume, the heroism which was dis
played by some of the colored men whose blood
mingled with that of their white compatriots in
the Revolution, is commemorated, together with
the testimonials which those who lived in the
times when the services of black men were neither
rejected nor unrecognized, paid to the colored de-
tenders of our country and homes. 1t is timely
work, well written, and full of historic facts of
value to every reader-RocheSter Democrat.

BIOGRAPHY
OF GEN. MANUEL PIAR.
BY coDoRus.

NdUueI liar was DOTH Ill ltJO, VI LILO
Dutch Island of Curacao. He was COL
ored man, and his parents were poor, and
labored for their subsistence. He was
somewhat averse to close application, and
although sent to school for some length of
time he only acquired the ordinary brach-
es Of an English education. At the age of
fifteen, he passed over to the Spanish
main. After some time he again visited
Curacao, and married colored lady, who
brought him small fortune.
AT the beginning of the revolution in
Caracus, in 1910, Piar commenced his mil
itary career as a non-commissioned officer.
General Mirander saw in Piar an am
bilious, daring, and courageous young
man, and advanced him by degrees to the
rank of Colonel, while he advanced rapid
ly in the study of military tactics. His
GOODNESS under the hottest fire, his quick
perception, and his personal bravery gain
ed him the confidence of his soldiers, whom
he inspired with the confidence of success.
He advanced rapidly to the rank of Major
General, which he gained entirely by mer-
it, and not by intrigue, which he always
despised, being an honorable, high-minded
man.
Par joined Marino in the city of Aux
Caves, island of Hayti, where they lived
together like brothers. Indeed, so intimate
were they that they obtained the name of
the two "inseparables."
Piar was an able commander, and in
military tactics and personal bravery he
had few superiors. He was never known
to overlook fault committed under arms,
and so vigorous was he in discipline that
he bore the name of the "frm and reso-
| Lutte"
Gen. Piar was proud of his personal
merits, and was warm friend of liberty
and of the republican form of government
At that time there were many colored men
in the service of the patriots, whose patrl-
otism and bravery told well for Venezue-
liam independence. When Gen. Piar
heard that the province of Guayana was en-
trusted to the famous Spaniar La Tory,
he determined forthwith to attackit. This
he did with one thousand Laneros, with
the most consummate skill and bravery.
Of the two thousand men in garrison, on
ly one hundred escaped. All the rest
were slain in battle or taken prisoner.
Piar, at the battle of ST. Felix, decided
the fate of Guayana, and in 1917 he tri-
umphantly entered the city of Augustura,
the capital, at half musket shot On en-
tering the city, he found many of the in
habitants dead, and many sick for want of
food. Even his troops were struck with
horror at the sight of so much misery.
Some biting sarcasms which escaped Pr
ar were the pretext for his destruction. He
fell prey to the falsehood and treachery
of military junta, and like Murat, died
pierced with twenty. five balls, while his
last words were Vava la ratria! VIA la
Repubzique ?"

research. 1t is more easy to make
than to refute charge of exaggeration against a

gGg> A late reverend divine, well known
for his quaint wit as well as for his kind
ness of heart, walking out back of his
house where new street was opening, saw
an Irishman hard at work with crow
bar, striving to dislodge huge stone from
the ground, where it was held fast by the
roots of tree. His patience was fairly
exhausted by the vain struggles he had
made, and at last he exclaimed in a great
passion:
"The devil take it the devil take it p
The old pastor approached him and qui-
city remarked that he ought not to make
such free use Of the name of the evil one,
and certainly not to throw such big stone
at him as that. The Irishman was quiet
in minute, and striking his crowbar into
the ground, and leaning leisurely on it, he
turned up his face at once to the Doctor
and the sunlight, and while over it roguish
ly played those indiscribable forerunneri
of genuine Irish wit, he replied:
"Och, then, and it's yourself that's find
in fault wild me for sayin that same
when it's yees and the like of yees that!
paid by the gear for abusin' the ould gen
tleman all the timew
The old pastor turned away to smile
and enjoy the retort.
