necessary to say that it was an IN.
mitigated swindle Of the government.

whole thing was corrupt in its ineep-

Some good men, who probably meant

inyeigled into It by designing rascals,
and some bad men engaged in it for
personal gain no doubt, knowing its
character fully It is to be hoped
that The blasted and ruined reputa-

the Credit Jobilier investigation and
exposure will be q waning for The
future, so that Congressmen will
hereafter be slow to engage in spscu.

William Cullen Bryant.
tfrom the Christian Union. !

1t rom the CHRISTIAN cn1on.l
Mr.. Bryant is now seventy-nine
years old, and no other period Of his
life has been more prolific in compost
tions of the highest order than the
eighth decade of time through which
he is now passing. But the most ex-
traordinary fact about this most ex-
traordinary life is not only that its pro-
ductiveness has extended in reality in
to estreme old aye, but that it began
in extreme youth. We have examples
in literature Of men ike Dryden, who
bore his best fruit in his last years :;
but of him it must be said that III lis
first years he bore no fruit at ak.
Then, again, literature is full Of the
cases Of men Of precocious genius, who
exhibited an astonishing intellectual
splendor at an early age. but whose
powers seemed to burn out in the pro-
cess, and to conduct their possessors
to speedy death or to later life Of
impotence. But Bryant, who excites
the admiration of this generation by
the marvel of his genius burning un-
dimmed il old age, excited the admir-
alton Of our grandtathers by the mar
vel Of his genius already enkiudled and
radiant in his early youth As far
back as 1904, when he was but ten
years old, he Published translations
from the Latin poets. In 1907 he
wrote an effective political satire called
The Embargo, which ran through
two editions in few months The
perfect poem Of "Thanatop~is. " which
may itself defy the power which it
celebrates, was written when its author
was only IS. y long literary life like
this, that sheds a remarkable light at
both extremes-that is as glorious for
the long preservation Of its power as
1t is for the pracocity with which they
were first maniiestel-has an interest
for US scarcely to be surpassed in the
history of letters. 1t is a noble priyil-
eye to add that the literary activity of
Mr.. Bryant, thus astonishing for be-
ginning so earnestly and continuing so
late, forms but one side of life which
has been strenuous in professional Ia
bors, faithful and sweet in the priva-
cies of home and of friendship, alert
in the attention to all the duties of a
citizen, and which has from the first
lent itself only to what is pure, digni-
fed and humane in society.

4 of reading, than his philosophy or re-

of reading, than his philosophy or re-
ligion.
John Foster was not, [ believe, a
literary gourmand. The staple of his
mental ailiment was Of the beef-steak
order. The great thoughts of the best
authors were deposited in his OWE mind,
and what fruit they yielded He was
not only an originai, but a grand think
er, and his thoughts to-day are seed
corn in thousands OF miads.
The late T. w Robertson was .
very SLOW reader Of the very choicest
works.-The kings of thought, from
Plato to Butler aud Jonathan Edwards,
had front seats in his library.
Too many people read simply for
amusement No higher ann prompts
them to indulge IL their books. They
want to kill time, and they use "light
reading" for that purpose. in some
instances Christian people do this
But time is too precious boon to be
killed. Who gave anybody authority
to- thus dispose Of it r?
Others simply for the imaginary ad-
ornment of the mind | say imaein-
ary, for such readers hurry through
a volume, with little reflection, and no
annotations, and the benefit is trifiing
Their intellectual cutlery is white wash
ed. aud very soon makes poor show
To really adorn the mind by reading,
we must give most of our spare TO such
books as Bacon said should be chewed
and digested.
People sometimes boast Of the num-
ber of books they read, as though their
intellectual wealth could be guaged by
the length of the list But let US
remember what DR.. Parr, a prodigy Of
learning, yet slow reader, once said
% a person who boastel oi his multifa-
rous reading. s'You have rea c, -ceat
deal: you have thought very little. yoa
know nothing" Robert Hall said t1at
DR.. Kippie '.laid 50 many books on his
head that his braigs couiu not move"

Something About Reading.

"Francis Wayland, when but eight
cen years of age, had excellent ideas
Of the use to be made of books. In a
letter to his sister, found in pages 4o
to ~ of the first volume of MS life, he
thus writes .sDo not care so much to
read good deal, as to read well and
thoughtfully.'' We should usually
take notes and make comments as we
read A good deal of thought should
be expended as we 60 over the pages.
Wayland recommended the habit of
copying beautiful passages and memoir
ling the choicest of them.
But hastily and rushing from book
to book, we receive very little if any
benefit The torrent rushes through
the mind and leaves nothing behind.
By reading slowly, stopping often to
think, to anal we and crl ticise, the mind
has time to absorb and digest The
seeds of thought settle on the bottom
and take root. In reading the more
solid books it is well to 90 over sone of
the pages two or three time.-Their
contents should be mastered before we
pass on. A single page of Coleridge 5
prose may claim an hours time. Miss
Martineau read the pages Of more than
one author at that slow pace. She
read to strengthen her mind, and not
to amuse herself or to kill time.
1t is said that Comte, the French
positiyist, read but few books; what
be did ''laid their fructifying, and
came out a living tree with leaves and
fruit" 1t is not always the most
wholesome fruit, but it is the product
of mind Injured to strong meat. II
is safer to recommend Comte's method

thy closet and when thou hast shut they door.
pray to thy rather whicn is in secret, and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee
openly
T., But when ye pray. use not vain rcnetitions.
as the heather do far they think that they shall
be heard for their much speaking.
s. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for
your Father knoweth what things ye have need
OF before ye ask him.
9. After this manner therefore pray y-: Our
Father which art in heaven, Hllowed be thy

10. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done in
earth as 1t is III heaven.
Ii. Give this day our daily bread.
II. And forgive us our debt, as we forgive our
debtors
l3. And lead us not into temptation, but de-
liver US from evil: For thine is the kingdom,
and the power. and the glory, forever. Amen.

If there is one virtue which most

Kindness it is to love the people of
God, to loge tn" churcn. to love the
world, to love aii.-But how many
have We in our churches of crab-tree
Christians, who have mixed such a
vast amount Of vinegar and such tre-
mendous quantity Of glll in their con-
stitnt,ons. that they can scarcely speak
one word to you. They imagine it i'm
possible to defend religion except by
passionate ehuiitions they cannot
speak for their di:honored Master with
ont being angry with their opponent
and if anything is awry, whether it be-
IN the house, the church, or anywhere
else, they conceive it to be their duty
to set their faces Ike flint, and to defy
everybody, They are like isolated
lceoer-s, no one cares to go near them.
They float about on the sea of forget
fulness, until at last, they are melted
and gone and though, good souls, We
shall be happy enough to meet them in
heaven we are precious glad to get rid
OF them from the earth They were
always so unamiahle in disposition that
We would rather live an eternity with
