The Unity OF Germany.

From the Times.
We remarked the other day that the dream of
a union OF all Germany into one homogeneous
people under one Government is OF ancient ori.
gin, and as prevalent to-day as in the hour Of
Gernanys greatest enthusiasm in 1918, or the
moment the Parliament convened in the PGutS
Kirche at Frankfort. But we also gave it as our
unbiased opinion that the success of the plans
of the Prussian Government would not facilitate
this Union nor accelerate the realization of this
dream OF the German people. Our opinion
rests on two substantial reasons, one OF which
we have already stated which is, that with
Prussia triumphant there would be strong,
powerful Prussia, and the portion OF the German
people subjected TO Brandenburg rule would be-
come Prussians, governed in all respects with
that spirit OF 'speclhc Prussanism" SO preva'
lent among the ru ing classes OF that kingdom,
and would from that moment cease to be what
they so much yearn to become, and have so
loudly protested that they are-Germans. No
thing can better illustrate the intensity OF this
''Prusslanlsm" than few sentences which we
here reproduce from the New York correspond
ence OF the Berlin Rreuz Ze'tetlag, dated in this
city on June %, and published in that paper in
Its issue of July IL. We quote:-
"The Germans in this city begin to take sides

Methodism and Sunday Schools.

The Sunday School Journal for No
vember shows that the gerrninal idea OF
Sunday Schools originated in the mind
of Wesleyan lady, Miss Sophia Cooke,
who afterward became the wife OF Rev.
Samuel Bradburn. Pointing to the rag
ged, swearing children in the streets OF
Gloucester. England, Bobert Raikes
asked her this question: What can we
do for these poor neglected children ?
Let u.s. said Miss Cooke. teach them to
read and take them to Church. and act
ing on the suggestion, Mr.. Raikes hired
several ladies' to teach reading and wri-
ting, and the Catechism to such children
as he might send them.
American Methodism gave the Sab
bath School to America, Francis Asbury
having established the first Sabbath
School in the country. at the house of
Thomas Crenshaw, in Hanover county,
Va It is customary to speak of the
Sunday Schools begun in Philadelphia,
in 1891, under the auspices of DR.. Rush,
Bishop White, and others, as the first
organized in the United States, but
Bishop Asbury and Mr.. Crenshaw were

Old FoQies.

A term applied to men behind the age,
dull, heavy and inactive. It is evidently
derived from the word foggy, thick,
cloudy and dull; thus men who live in
An atmosphere Of their own, and whose
views are limited, are called fogey's or
old fogies, as the phrase is now. An
other derivation is given to it OF q pecu-
liar body of men. who were called old
fogies. They were old men dressed in
red coats and cooked hats, and were a
sort of invalid company who performed
various trivial duties. These men frst
made their singular appearance in Edin-
burgh at the close of the last century.
The writer, however, gives no reason
Why they were called old fogies,' hence
the origin above seems to be the most
reasonable and equaily applicable to
this peculiar body. Others derive the
word fcose from .folk, .fylgia., folg;an, to
