BURYTNG WITH THE FEET TO THE EAST
Chambers Encyclopedia has the following
explanation of the custom of burial with
the feet toward the east:
The custom of generating the east was
perpetuated by the early Christian Church
from various circumstances mentioned IN
the record 1t was said that Christ had
been placed in the tomb with his feet to-
ward the east, and at the Day of Judgment
he should come from the eastward in the
heavens. From these various circumstan-
ces, the building of churches with the chan
eel to the east, bowling to the east on utter
ing the name of Jusus, and burying with
the feet to the east, were introduced as Gus
toms in the Church. It Is curious instance
of the inveteracy of popular custom, that in
Scotland, where everything savored of an
Gent usage was set aside as Popish by the
reformers, the practice of burying with the
feet to the east was maintained IN the
church-yards, nor is it uncommon still to
set down churches with a scrupulous regard
to east and west In modern cemeteries IN
England and Scotland, no attention appears
to Be paid to the old punctillo, the nature
of the ground alone being considered in the
disposition Of graves.

a writer in Frazer's Magazine, on Do
nestle Life and Economy in France, re-
marks that the national customs of that
country as well as the sentiments of the
DeopIe. are such as to favor in every way
the practice of economy and the acquisition
of wealth. In the first place, there Is no
recognized standard of public opinion
Nothing in the least resembling our lneon-
yenient Mrs. Grundy" could ever gain adj
mittance, or be tolerated there for single
day Whatever mistakes they may make.
whatever follies they commit, they are
themselves individually responsible; for 1t
is essentially true in France. that each man
.sdoes what is right in his own eyes. rms,
it will not be denied, has its bad as We'll as
its good side; no one would dream, for an
instance, of going to church because some
one else did. nor OF becoming Republican
because some one else happened TO be one.
In France no one ever finds himself doing
what is personally unpleasant because 1t
will look we'll, or be thought well. or be-
cause other people do it. Any FrenchmaH.
no matter of what rank. would ridicaIe the
idea of his social position or gentility being
supposed to depend ia the slightest degree
on such accidents as whether his door bell
were answered by maid or man servant,
or whether the said man appeared IN q coat
or without one. The reason for this lndlner-
ence lies in the extraordinary absence OF
what can strictly be termed snobbishness IN
the Fre4fch character.

What Causes Hard Times.

l. Too many spend money and too few
earn it.
?. Too much money is spent wastefully,
and uselessly, and too little saved and made
productive and accumulative by those who
need it.
8. We buy too much abroad that we
ought to produce at home.
4. We buy too much that we cannot and
do not pay for cash down-too much of what
we buy being what we do not actually need.
5. We are too wasteful, know too little
how to economic, and have too little dis
position to do 50.
6. We are too speculative, INSCRIPTIONS
and actually dishonest in our efforts to make
money.
dustry, and too few of us know how to work
and derive pleasure and profit from our
labor.
s. We spend too much time learning
what is not useful, and too little informing
ourselves upon the best methods Of promot-
ing our material prosperity.
8. We know too much of politics, spend
too much time and money as politicians,
and know too little about political economy
and the science of a stable and economical,
successful public policy.
TO- Our actions are governed too much by
passion, prejudice and partisan feeling, and
not enough by a broad, intelligent, liberal
and patriotic conception of the duties which
American citizenship involves.
IL. We are too superficial and impatient,
and lack the clear purpose and persistent
application necessary to permanent success.
L. We depend too much upon our sharp
ness and "cuteness," and readiness to take
advantage of circumstances, and not enough
upon earnest, honest labor.
49, We talk and read too much, and
think and act too little
II. We spread ourselves over too great a
surface, and thus fail to dig deep enough in
one place for the nuggets that viii surely
enrich u.s.
Is. We lack in that higher morality
which frowns down venality and elevates
and encourages purity of life, probity of
conduct, and scrupulous regard for good
and honorable name.
Is. We do not teach our children that
they must, nor how to, earn their own liv-
ing, and are too willing to commit them to
life of easy unscrupulousness, depending
on their skill as make-shifts rather than
upon their solid requirements as men and
women.
! IL. We roll about like stones that gather
no moss, enriching carrying corporations
| and specializing capitalists, and defraudine
| ourselves of the substantial profits of our OWL
/ industry.
| Is. We are devotees of show rather thar
substance and pay homage to the glitter o.
a success" which is but a robe covering
filth, rottenness and corruption, social, com
mercial and political
49, We build too many churches and cul
tivate the Christian virtues and spirit too
little; we have too many schools and too
few real teachers; we have too many falst
theories and too few true ones; we are too
undivided in certain directions and mo-
enough so in others; we adhere too closely
to what we ought to depart from, and re
fuse to take hold of that to which we ough
to cling
20. In short, we are too much what We
ought not, and not enough what we ough
| to be-

make political capital for the Ku KluX law
by which it was hoped to carry the Presi-

to re-enact the provision that allowed Pres
ident Grant to suspend all civil government
in any part OF the United States, at pleasure.
the victims of the scheme might as well be
now released. If guilty of any offences,
they were such ordinary ones, as are pun
ishable by the laws of every State in the
Union. The proceedings against them.

rior to the Constitution, public opinion
should demand the release of these prison.
