a bitter controversy is going on be.
tween the Romeo Observer and Rev. j.
S. Smart, Methodist clergyman of that
village. Mr.. Smart has preached SER
mon directly against the OLser0er, and
that paper has published whole page
in reply. The point Of MIR. Smart's crit
icism is, that one Of the editors Of the
OGSerter is Spiritualist, and that Spir-
itualism and Inidelity are the same thing.
Mr.. Smart reads from Tom Paine, Hen
ry G Wright, aud other enemies OF the
Christian faith, in ordor to convict the
Observer We have been ga attentive
reader Of that paper for several years,
and have never seen in It's columns any
attacks upon the Christian religion, or
the Bible, nor any criticisms upon the
clergy, until this strife commenced Ii
the editor Of the Observer were Splr-
itualist, an InGdel, Mohammeian, or
a heather, he would have the same right
to hold and express his religious opin.
ions, as an. individual, that Rev. Mr.
Smart or any other man has. And pro-
vided he conducted his paper impartial
ly on religious subjects, it would be
piece of impudence and tyranny in any
clergyman or any man to assail or at
tempt to gag him, because they do not
approve his private opinions. We have
no more patience with Popery under a
Protestant mask than in the open Rom
ish fashion,--Lansipg Republican.

MEM STRE1iK.

There is a mean streak in human nature,
and it crops out pretty often. The other day
we listened to conversation which illustrated
this trait. 1t appeared that an individual who
had come into possession of a fortune, had by
some means suddenly lost it all. Thereat,
there was rejoicing on the part of certain ones.
g His family had put on such airs, and ait
however, that envy Of the former condition of
those about whom they were conversing, rather
than disgust at their pride, was the melting
motive to their unfeeling rejoicings. Poor
human nature What it cannot possess itself,
it will prevent Others if possible, from pos
sessing, although it cannot thereby be bene-
fitted at all. The old adage is true that
Misery likes company" How unworthy is
the spirit which will begrudge to others that
which, while they possess it, cannot by any
means make our happiness less, only SO far as
we make it the occasion of envy. How utter
ly opposed is this spirit to the God-like one
which we are commanded to exhibit of "reoic-
ing with those who rejoice and weeping with
those who weep
The fact is, fallen human nature is naturally
enYious. 1t is exhibited in a thousand forms,
both in social, public and professional life.
The mediocre writer would not, if he had
power, allow any one to rise beyond his own
intellectual plane the uneducated man, feel
ing his own ignorance, speaks contemptuously
of education ; the singer, the artist, etc, en-
deayor to belttle all others mechanics scarce
ever praise the work of those of like trade !;
the man with big foot would have everybody
to wear "tens;p and it would afford conso-
lation to a person with the itch to see every
body else scratching.
So the world wags along, with its freight of
selfishness and jealousy and envy. Happily,
there are here and there noble instances of
self-abnegation, of charity and humanity,
which serve to tighten up the dark picture of
meanness in humanity of what
man shall be in the hereafter, and of what he
might be here, were he to strive for that
"charity," which "enYicth not but is kind. !"

CONSOLATION.


The Democratic papers are consoling them
selves for their defeat in all kinds of ways.
The 10y, who told another that if he couldn't
whip him, l. could make faces at his sister,
appears to have suggested an idea to them ;
and some of them are making faces at the
Liberal Republicans, and charge their defeat
10 the alliance with that faction Others have
discovered that while Grants majority is large,
his vote is not as great us four years ago ;
while some attribute the result to ssflaud /"
and others to the negro vote. Well, it is a
,eatter of supreme indifference to the Repub-
iicans how they explain it, The stubborn and
irritating fact is, they are defeated and very
badly. There is no particular use in contra
dieting their theories (some of them quite
absurd. We may apply the remark of a man
who was being roundly abused by another to
their case, and say, g 1t seems to do them
great deal of good, and it cannot possibly do
us any harm,'

ADvERTIsINe.-The object in advertising
is to increase business. An advertisement
properly inserted in newspaper is more effec-
tual than any other method, because it is read
when a reader is in a mood for it. No one
will take the time to read an advertisement
unless he has passive inclination to do so.
The great advantage of newspaper adver-
tisement is shown in this manner. In printed
advertising, all transient methods, as circulars
or the like, are thrust upon us unsought--
scarcely glanced at--fiung into the waste bas-
ket, and wholly forgotten. AT some s,lbse-
quent time we are in need of the very article
the circular represented, but we cannot recall
the merits, terms or address. Naturally we
seek the newspaper-and then is the specific
time the advertisement that regularly appears
IN the newspaper wins.-E.r.
