RELIGION IN JAPAN.-The London Examiner
says-in religious matters it is plain that the
Japanese are not intolerant, foT they have three
different religions, divided into upwards of thir-
ty sects, the yotaries of all which live peaeea-
bly, together. The persecution of the Chris
tians IN the seyenteeth century, was political
and not theological one Before it commenced,
the BONES, or priests of Buddhism, form of
religion introduced from India, were the most
impOrtunate in their complaints against the
Christians. They petitioned the Emperor
against them, who demanded how many forms
Of religion existed in the empire, and the reply
was thirty-five. swell" /" rejoined his Majesty,
awhere thirty-fve can be tolerated, we can
easily bear thirty-six. Leave the strangers in
peace"

nIr Cnrtfer,a Lecture.

The sentiment which Mr. Cartier said he
wished to leave with his audience, in his lecture
before the laboring men last evening, was, that
in his opinion every home should be and re-
main inviolabIe from the hands of a creditor,-
all its furniture and adornments, however cost
ly and from the many different methods he
brought his arguments to bear on the same
point, he certainly made the doctrine clear that
there is one class of homes that should be kept
as sacred as a castle, while at the same time his
hearers could not see the force ofreasoning that
would fill palace with costly gew-gaws, and
yoluptuous furniture that was never PAID
for, and then forsooth, we find it execution
proof, while the poor but skiIlful artizan who
has fashioned these adornments goes away I'M
paid. Is that the kind of sacredness he would
set up castles with?
l do not find fault with Mr.. Cartter's nltla'
tory step,-this first advance towards the grea'
day when we shall do away with all law for the
collection of debt, when the seeming necessity
for perplexing law suits shall cease, when neigh
Dor shall not raise his itigious hand against his
neighbor, and when courts of Cancellation shal
be created, and men shall be prevented from
making fools OF themselves by getting into
lawsuit that is only determined at the great ant
final day of Judgment.

ssTHR DEACON. .


Quaint cut-coat threadbare and black
Coyers bent and age curved back,
And shocks Monseur Au-faiti
Madame La Mode may glance and grln
AT the seedy coat and the form within,
Asthe Deacon bows ''good-dsy" -
But all unconscious his lack of STYLE,
The Deacon he gives bis pleasant smlle'
And mods with q kindly cheeri
Though age and toll have bent his back,
Odd. And his uncouth coat of napworn black
His smile and nod are sincere.
Not one of your canting sort is he,
That pray the prayer of the Phafisee,
Self-complacent and satisfied;
He seeks for good, not for detects
And his humble creed never rejects
Those for whom the Savior died.
If you ask he'll give, in kindly way,
AdTice-and he'll listen to all you say,
Nor frown in pretentious knowledge;
He'll give his views in an earnest voice,
The sense will be clear if the phrase is not
choice
He has never been to College.
And if you play draughts of Saturday eve,
He will not tell you you're sure to receive
A mark in the Book above;
He'll say 1t were Detter tue ullnu 10 prepare
By quiet reflection for worshipiug where
God lists the united love.
He does not believe that social glee
VIII condemn mankind for eternity,
He was merry himself in his youth;
I've heard him say Che loved ajesD
That truth was to him made manifest
When following after Ruth
The children they love to hear him talk,
They cling to his hands and impede his walk,
Though his coat is shabby and queer
His loving nature peeps out from his eyes,
And his tones are soft, as he vainly tries
To make word and look severe.
To hear him pray is TO feel the prayer,
Not meaningless sound upon the arr
But souls allegiance shown;
And the thanks appear to speed away,
And the mercies craved their lead obey
Up to Jehovah's throne.
Though poor in gear and purse, his hand
Gives what it holds to wants demand,
And with it goes prayer;
And, like the widows cruise, his breast,
Exhaustless, answers each request,
And softens woe and care.
Unostentatinus, pure and mild,
As humble as little child,
He walks where Jesus trod;
Weak for himself in worldly fight,
But strong in battling for the right,
Courageous for his God

DRESS, ETIQUETTE, DC.
BY Coco a. BENEpIcT.

An elegantly dressed and polished man is my
especial admiration. Whether I have signal
lied myself in this way CT not, modesty forbids
me to say But have no sympathy with those
men who 90 around with their shirt-collars all
rumpled up, who recklessly jam their hats on to
their heads, who seldom black their boots, ard
who do not keep their hair properly oiled and
brushed. The low and vulgar may sneer at
these things, but gentle reader, they are as IN
dispensable to the real gentleman as the bright
day-gOd is to the new-mown hay. Every man
should have five suits of clothes, three of which
should be broadcloth with q gloss to it. All
should read Chesterfield the moment they have
mastered the Revised Statutes of Ohio.
Be polite. Use polished language. Avoid

LONGEVITY OF BIsHoPs.-The Western Epis-
copalian says that of fOrty-three Bishops Of the
Protestant Episcopa!ian Church, consecrated
during the last thirty years, only five have been
removed by death. The presiding Bishop, Dr.
Brownel, is now in the fortieth year of his
Episcopate. Bishop Meade, the next in sem
iority, was consecrated in 1929, ten years after
Bishop Brownell. During the four years since
the conservation of Bishop Clark, of Rhode
Island, there has been but one Bishop conse-
crated-Bishop Bowman, Of Pennsylvania
During the four years preceding, there were no
less than twelve commissioned for the Episco-
pate.

PSALMS OF DAvrD-The annexed eloquent

PSALMS OF DAvID.-The annexed eloquent
extract is from lecture by Henry Giles;
"Great has been their power in the world
They resounded amidst the court of the taber-
nacle; they foated through the lofty and SOL
emn space of the temple They were sung
with glory in the Halls of Zion; they were sung
with soTrOE by the streams of Babel And
when Israel had passed away, the harp of David
was still awakened in the Church of Christ
In all the eras and ages of that Church from the
hymn which it first whispered in an upper
chamber until its anthems filed the earth, the
inspiration of the royal prophet has enraptured
its devotions and ennobled its rituals. Chorus
ed by the winds of heaven, they have swelled
throughout Gods own temples of the sky and
stars; they have rolled over the broad desert of
Asia, in the mathis and vespers of ten thousand
hermits They have rung through the deep val
leys of the Alps, in the sobbing voices of the
forlom Waldenses, through the deeps and caves
of the Scottish Highlands, in the rude chanting
of the Scottish Coyenanters; through woods
aud wilds of primitive America, in the heroic
hallaIujahs ofthe early pilgrims

meeting is being held at Garrettsville, under the
direction of the NJ E. Church. a deep reG-

US that great revival of religious interest has
taken place in North Amherst, in this county.
Daily meetings have been held by both the Bap-

of this vicinity. Two missionaries, Fathers
Geisen and Seimels, have been assiduously la

confession, DC, for the past two weeks. They
are, as we learn, Redemptorist Monks; both are
natives of Holland, and are said to be accom-
plished scholars, fluent in seven or eight Ian
guages.
Bishop Rappe was here last week, and we
suppose the enterprise has his eountenance and
approval. ll

which stones and other missiles were freely
used. A young man named Culp received a

SORGHUM MoLAssEs.-We have so often
spoken of this article, that it is rather an old
story; but we have one more instance of a
great yield which we must mention. Mr.. q.
Sperry, of Rock Greek, sent to North Carolina
and got sixteen bushels of the seed, last Spring.
He sold the most of it through the county,
which all proved good. He planted piece
containing few rods less than one-eighth of
an acre, on the 2sth of May, which grew finely,
many of the stalks being IA feet high. The
last of October the stalks were cut down. and
with an extempore mill, he manufactured 43
gallons of very nice syrup. This we consider a
very large yield, being at the rate of 344 gal
Ions per acre, which at so cents per gallon
would bring the snug sum of sl72 per acre
AskiabuLa Sentinel.
In connection with this subject we clip the
following paragraph of interest from the State
Journal
A model of new patent portable Sugar
Evaporator has been deposited IN the office of
Secretary KIippart, of the State Board of Agri-
culture The Evaporator is the invention of
Mr.. Cook, of Mansfield, and it is claimed that it
will reduce the juice of the Chinese Sugar Cane,
in constant stream, to syrup in twenty min
utes There are samples of syrup and sugar
deposited with the model, which for taste and
appearance surpass that OF Now Orleans.
