The Right Sort of Religion.


As quite number of clergy,
map have undertaken to carry
religion and religious senti-,
ment into the counting room,
the workshop, the Office, and
the family circle, we commend
TO their consideration the fol-
lowing schedule Of a very de-
sirable character of religion
advertised some years since by
the -Congregationalist I'VE
wait the religion that goes into
the family aud keeps the hus-
band from being spiteful when
the dinner is late; and keeps
the dinner from being late
keeps the wife from 'fretting
when the husband tracks the
newly washed floor With his
muddy boots, and makes the
husband mindful of the scraper
aud The door, mat; keeps the
mother patient when the baby
is crosS, and keeps the baby
pleasant; amuses the children
, as we'll as iuStracts them; wins
as well as governs; projects the
honeymoon iuto the harvest
moon, aud makes the happy
hours like the Eastern tis tree,
bearing in its bosom at once
the beauty of the blossom, and
the glory of the ripening fruit.
We want IA religion that bears
heavily, not OF the exceeding
sinfulnesS of sim bnt on the eX-
ceeding rasc#lity IF lying and
stealing; religion t,'at hanish-
iSheS smell measures from the
counters, small baskets from
the stalls, pebbles from the
cotton bags, clay from paper,
sand from sugar, ehicory FROM
coffee, otter from butter, beet
juice from vinegar, alum from
bread, slrychnine from wine,
water from milk cans, and but.
tons from the contribution box.
The religion that is to save the
world will not put all the big
strawberries al the top and all
the bad ones at the bottom. It
will not offer more baskets of
foreign wine than the vine
yards ever produced bottles,
and more barrels of Genesee
flour than all the wheat fields
of New York grow aud all her
/ mills grind. 1t will uot make

We are not of that class Of
individuals that impugn and
tillify Others for their political
opinion and who, attribute un-
worthy motives to all who may
differ with us in the method Of
saving the State from opptes-
sion under which she is now
laboring, On the. contrary,
we think there never was a
time when we should be more
careful Of the language we use.
The oratorical efforts of the
different speakers in the Dem
ocratic Convention last week,
in New Orleans, appeared to
us that the delegates, with a
few honorable exceptions, met
for the purpose ofiabusing one
another. Had harmony and
good feeling prevailed, the re-
suit of the action of the Con-
vention would have been diff
ferent. As it is we have now
a divided party, and no hope

AN OPINION OF scHUB2.
rFrom the n. Y. Hernld.l
sceingthe Point.

A boy returned from school one day with re-
port that his scholarship had fallen somewhat
below the usual average.
Well" said his father. you've fallen this
month, have you p
Yes, sir,
How did that happen r
Don't know, sir.
The father knew, if the son did not. He had
observed a number of dime novels about the
house, but had not thought it worth willie to saw
anything until lifting opportunity arrived
Empty out those apples, and take the has-
ket and bring it to me half-full Of dry chips"
Suspecting nothing, the son obeyed.
And now, he continued. put those apples
back in the basket
When half the apples were replaced the son
said
Father, they roll Off can't put on any more,
" Put them in | tell YOU.
But, father, [ can't put them in
" Put them III! No, of course YOU can't put
them III. Do you expect to till basket half-full
of chips and then fill it with apples You said
you didn't know why you fell behind at school,
and viii tell You. Your mind is like that bas-
ket. 1t will not hold SO much and here YOU
have been for the past month filling it up with
chip dirt-miserabe dime novels"
The boy turned on his heal, Nhstlel, and said:
" Whew see the point"
Not dime novel has been seen in the house
from that day to this.
Other and older persons might well see the
same point. mind filed with fiction hates
and rejects truth. person reading history, art
science or travels, may grow wiser every day;
but a man may read fiction hundred years and
knowno more when be finishes than when he be-
gan.
There is real sin and sorrow and suffering
enough in the world for US to pity and relieve
without wasting our tears over the troubles OF
some fictitious matilda Jane" and there is work
and enterprise, and energy enough in real lifo
to engage our powers, without resorting to cheap
novels for inspiration and excitement.
But unfortunately, the girls WHO will shed as
many tears over some heroine's fictitious sorrow,
as they would while peeling pan full of onions,
are the very persons who would turn up their
noses at suffering beggar, and let a sick person
starye, unvisited,in garret. And the boys who
wax heroic over the great doings Of some count,
hero or cutthroat, are too lazy to earn an honest
living, and are willing to have their mothers
wait on them, and black their boots while they
lie in bed after sunrise, or smoke cigars and
swear to prove that they are men

LITERATURE AND JOURNALISM.

FAR to See, Novel. By Lawrence W. Lock
hart. Published by Harper Il Bros, N. Y Re-
ceiyed through Porter Y Co., Wilmington.
" Fair to See" is specimen showing how de-
lightful book can be made, even with the
weakest of plots and most commonplace Incl
dents, by the aid of lively delineations of char
aeter, sparkling conversation, and due attention
to the bounds Of 'the modest not-too-much !"
The only character here which tends at all to-
wards caricature is the bly-descendedM Mrs. Mac
Killop and she is amusing enough to be forgiy-
en- for her exaggeration. The gentle Norma and
her beautiful step-sister Ella will remind the
realer of the similar pair in Mrs. Gaskell's
Wives and Daughters, though the Cynthia of
that work has redeeming points which are lack
ing in the enchantress of Fair to See" The
local coloring is remarkably good, and the des-
criptions of grouse-shooting, fishing, &c, are
enough to make sportsman long for such a
month in the Highlands as fell to the happy lot
Of Mr.. Cameron and Capt. Piggott.
