The Time for Rejection has Come
Let the great Fountain Of Thought be un-
sealed. Let the wisdom Of wild unreality
be swept aside, Let the great heart of the
nation pause, This is the time to deal with
stern truths; it is time of bitter rankings,
of furious assaults OF malice and hatred of
enyyings and of strife. A time rife with the
fruits of dire calamity. The moral atmos-
phere teens with the Infectious vapors Of
iunwholesome contention, the moral heart is
given up to ounholy and forbidden affections.
Men make boast of that which is their
shame; they hug their idols of pollution
close to their bosoms; ii they pray it is
that which they desire may cometo pass,
that God may curse whom they curse, and
bless whom they bless. They, strain their
eyes after the ignaus tatus of delnsion as it
fits before them through the marshes Of
selfwil and deception until they believe it
to be the true and only sight. They foun-
der on through brake and briar until
the dawn of day and the morning sun
rises upon them, when, strange to relate,
Ithey sail at the powers that brought
its beams upon them to expose their
folly and wretchedness and never bethinkl
themselves of looking inward for the true
cause Of their disasters; they sail at the eter-
nal basis of all right principles as if their
expenditure OF wrathful breath could any
more change the position of things than the
fitting of the smallest insect, or the rolling
from its place Of the tiniest atom of dust.
So contracted are the natures of some
men that it is impossible to make them see
anything beyond themselves !. that which
they believe is right, that which they reject
lis wrong. So ends the matter, all logic is
wasted upon them; reason, if you will, to
rock and trees, but let them alone, or you
will receive the reward of him who argues
with fool. '--''' .''''''.'
There is growing tendency to intolera-
tion In this age The public mind seems
narrowing to prejudices, it is dangerous
inclination, it should be actually striyen
against. The Church should enlarge its
teachings to liberality in religious mat
tiers. The press should advocate modera-
Influential public men should lay the
check-sin on their own proneness to
sink into extremes, and thus become quail
fed to tone down the increasing evil in the
minds of the masses. Untold horrors are
bound up in that web of intolerance Pri-
vate and public wranglings, religious and
social discord, homicides, assassinations
and wholesale revolutions are its natural
productions. The stiletto of treachery, the
gibbet, the guillotine, the rack and the bastile
are its legitimate otf-springs. Persecution
and ostracism (that ruost hateful and unjust
form of despotism for holding fast to hon
est opinions are conspicuous figures in its
iattendant train of evils.
moderation is born of Ignorance and
nurtured by bigotry, assuredly will his fool
ish reign be over when the March of Intel
lect" shall herald the advent of wise modera-
ition, and the air of enlightened views be
Idrummed and flied into the awakening ears
of christianized enlightenment.

"a poor unfortunate seaman had been

condemned to be shot, on evidence as lmpro-

Jack Whaly's wife one day CHANGED to
find an elegant piece of white leather on the
road and she brought it home with her in
great delight to mend Jacks small clothes,
which she did very neatly Jack set off
next day, little expecting what was in store
for him; but when he had trotted about five
miles-it was in the month of July-he be-
gan to feel mighty uneasy, in the saddle
a feeling that continued to increase at every
moment till at last he said: SIT was like
taking a canter on beehive in swarming
time," and well he might, for the piece Of
leather was no other than blister that the
apothecary's boy had dropped that morning

A friend of ours from the rural districts,
having heard Of Bishop Tuttle's eloquencci
was anxious TO hear him preach, and came
to town Sunday before last for that purpose
The services proceeded as usual with the
Episcopal Church, reading, prayers, chant.
ing, uttering responses, ETC., until our friend
became weary and concluded that what he
had heard of the Bishop as an orator was all
bunc0mbe, and that deluded people were
accepting a lot of mummery as genuine
preaching. This view was confirmed in his
mind when the Bishop announced that serv-
ices would again be held in ne evening, and
proceeded to give out hymn, which our
rural friend concluded must be the closing
exercises, and in order TO be ahead
Of the crowd. walked out and went home,
saying TO his friends by the way that it was
all humbug, that there was no preaching
/ at all; when the fact was he left at the very
moment when the sermon began, and missed
one Of the finest discourses ever deliv cred in
the Territory. He says hereafter when hi
goes to church he will go where they have
more preaching and not quite so much
trimming
