Literature and Gossip.

1t was announced in Punch, when
Mrs. CaudIe's lectures came to an end
by her death, that there were other eau
die letters extant which might some
time appear, TO let the world know, in
the works of his wronged wife, "what
an aggravating man CaudIe really
was" These papers have not, how
ever, yet come to light. In PItnch's Al
nldHae, for 1915, appeared "Mr. CaudIe's
Breakfast Talk" in which it was
shown how, in a twelvemonth and a
week from his wife's death, Caudle
married Mrs. Sarah Prettyman, and
how he "nsgged" her to death. This
time it was CaudIe who did the gorrv-
ing, until he lett his second wife a
widow, justifyiug himself, at the last,

The UsURT LAws.-Mr. Richard a.
Dana, one of the first lawyers OF Massa-
chusetts, made his "tmsiden speech" in
the House of Representatives of that
State on Thursday, on the usury laws.
he kept the members in their seats
during his speech, and had a crowded
auditory of outsiders from beginning
to end. His arguments were for the
repeal altogether of all usury laws; he
cited the action of England and HoI-
land in repeating their laws relating to
usury, and the good results arising
from their doing SO. His grounds for
favoring a repeal of these laws were,
that they did not protect the borrower,
but put him in worse condition than
II the market were open; that they led
TO evasions, underhand work and CHI
caneries, and because public sentiment
no longer considered IL crime for par
ties TO lend money at high rates.

THOSE consistent Roman Catholic
journals, the Boston Pilot and New
York Table,, justify the recent order of
the Pope suppressing the Protestant
churches in Rome, on the ground that
the model city is set apart as sort of
grand cathedral for the exclusive use of
the devotees of the PapsI church, and
that it is the height of impertinencs for
Protestants to carry out their ideas of
religious freedom by establishing Pro-
testant churches under the shades of
colossal st. Peter. The idea that the
priest-ridden city of Rome should be
grand cathedral is comicaI enough,
when it is considered what the morals
of the city are As the Cleveland
Leader forcibly observes, there are, ac-
cording to statistics more murders, lille
yitimate births, beggary, vicious priests
and useless nuns in the Poutihcal State
than in any other similar territory with
an equal amount of population, in
Christendom, perhaps with the excep-
ton of Catholic Naples To say the
least, it is not complimentary TO such a
great sect as that of the Romish to as
sign such a city as the grand cIthe-
dral" of that church. How would the
Plot and Tablet relish the doctrine that
free America is a grand Protestant
cathedral; and that it IS 1.-The height OF
impertinence" for Catholics ''to intrude
and build their churches ?" The argu-
ment in favor of this latter proposition
is precisely as good as that in favor of
the proposition of the above named
AS far as the American church in
Rome Is concerned, it behooVes our
Government to demand precisely the
same freedom OF worship for Ameri-
cans in Rome that is granted to Roman
Catholics in this country. The justice
the cause of religions freedom, and our
natIonai dignity imperatively require
that this should be done.

CATCHING CoLD.-Perhaps there is no
Illness, If Illness il can be called, in or
dinary circumstances, the management
of which has been so beset by blind and
stupid prejudices, as the lying-in of a
woman. This has been partly occasion
ed by the fact that monthly nurses
have been formerly excessively ignor-
ant persons, and that old women have
been looked up 10 as the only infallible
guides. The great bugbear was always
catching cold, and to avoid a chance of
this, the most absurd plans were in
vogue, some of which still remain. par-
ticularly among the poorer classes,
some hundred years ago no lady WIS
allowed TO have her cap changed dur
ing the time of bed without having
every curtain closely drawn, and a
warming-pan held over the head. Ev-
closed, fires were Perpetualiy
burning, heaps of blankets
piled on, and even the ham
dies of the knives, forks, and spoons to
be handled by the poor lady were COW
cred up with flannel or silver paper:
even the hand bell placed on the bed to
summon an attendant had its neat fan
mel jacket, for fear the touch of the cold
metal should make her catch cold. Cold
water, cold air, cold drinks, any thing
cold that could be touched with the
nngers, were all most scrupulOusly
guarded against. Thanks to the i'm
proved education of the nurses, and
the greater attention of the doctors,
these absurdities have Of late nearly
disappeared but it has only been a
change OF very recent date, and not vet
completed, The bills of mortality stilI
show large proportion OF deaths from
what are properly called avoidable dis
eases; but year by year matters are
changing for the better, and the value
of human life from infancy to old a-ge
is constantly Increasingly Dickens I" an
the Year Round" :"

GOING TO CHURCH.-The Pail Mall
Gdzette offers some suggestives remarks
on the present condition of religious
sentiment in England, in the following
which it declares is very far from be-
ling sarcastic account of the reason
"why the gentry go to church on a
Sunday" and in which, it will be
seen, almost every influence except a
devout spirit is recognized
"The really Interesting thing would
be to know, not why workingmen do
not go to church, but why SO many
gentlemen do go there. If you could
walk into one of the churches in Ty-
burma some Sunday morning, and i'm
pound all or any considerable part of
the well-dressed males between thirty
and sixty to be found there, and ex-
tract from them, by home questions
which must be supposed to be honestly
answered, their real reasons for coming
to church, some very curious results
would probably be obtained. a large
proportion would nodoubt answer that
they came simply from the force of
habit-not a few would be Obliged to
admit that they did it to please their
wives. This would be considerably
qualified in others by an impression
that it was necessary part of the edu-
cation of their children, and al
most every one would be more
or less influenced by the consideration
of the general respectability of the in
stitution and the propriety of support
ing il on the ground of its responsibility
and social utility. So strong is this
motive that squires who, when they are
in London, never by any accident see
the inside of a church, will constantly
go in the most regular manner, at least
to morning service in the country, by
way, as they say, of setting an exam
Pile. 1t may not be good or required
for themselves, but they have an i'm
preston that it is good for their infe-
riors. 1t must also be observed that to
abstain altogether from going to church
would be rather a maj Iked and singular
thing in a gentleman, and there is
nothing on which people so much hate
to be singular as matters of that kind
It would be unjust to represent these
motives as the only ones which take
the gentry of London and other great
cities TO church, though we have no
doubt that if they were all to cease to
operate at once congregations would be
strangely thinned. Most men probably
have a sufficient degree of tru e religious
feeling TO like to join periodically in
some form OF religious worship, and
the strength Of the Church of England,
regarded as religious body, no doubt
lies in the fact that its liturgy IS singu-
Iarly well suited as whole TO the tastes
of educated men,"

RATE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS.
RATES OF ADVERTISING
a Curse to tne Conntrr-


Next to the inOrdinate use of intoxi-
eating beverages we may probably
class the haste to become rich as a de-
plorable eyiI-the desire and expecta-
tion of getting something for nothing,
or for very inadequate equivalent, if
we may use the word in such a sense
which lead so many of our youth to
abandon trades in order to swell the
crowds OF clerks, lawyers, doctors, &c. ::
now and always SO largely in excess of
the demand for their Services. A de-
sire to be rich is not in itself
PIE AT the means, and to end in dis
grace and ruin.
There are cases where young man
Is Justlhable in getting into debt-there
are cases where a few years of a struR-
gle with Indebtedness may do him good
but these are "the exceptions which
prove the rule" correct that debt is in
compatible with independence, and
should be avoided. Borrowing money
on interest is curse to any young man,
eatlnS up his earnings and kee eping him
poor The man who saves even few
dollars year, and invests II at interest,
will eventually become rich, whilst the
one who borrows to make up the defic-
II occasioned by extravagance, or ven
turing beyond his means, will undoubt-
edly struggle all his life to keep his head
above water.
Avoid "speculation," mistrust all
schemes promising enormous returns,
whether lotteries, faro-banks, or more
respectable modes of gambling, as
sured that any gains that may accrue
from them are more than lost by the
taste they give for inordinate risks. If
yoS call to mind the lucky individuals
who have become wealthy in this way
in the past twenty years, you will find
nearly all of them poor now-the
money has gone as rapidly as it came,
and is teaching the same lesson to its
present possessors. a dollar earned
by honest industry, mental or physical,
is worth more to the man who earns it
than tenfold gained by speculation, and
is not near so likely to be expended fool
ishly or risked recklessly. He who
can save such dollar will more prob
ably accumulate wealth in life than
the one without industry who makes
more money with less work. 1t is de-
plorable how many of our young un-
married men waste their earnings in
folly and dissipation, and are ''too poor
to get married'-or, if they marry,
have acquired such tastes and habits as
tend to render that relation anything
but an agreeable one. There can be no
good reason for a young lady and
healthy single man, having no one de-
pendent upon him, not saving some
thing every year for investment, and
1t Is to be regretted so few do so.
