Holiness is Hanniness.

Holiness is constant agreement with
God. 1t is the agreement of love-of
the perfect love that casts out all fear.
From this union and harmony of the
soul with the divine flows a great, deep,
broad river of peace, which passeth all
understanding or fathoming. And that
stream of peace deepens and widens
until it empties into the crystal ocean of
eternal love. For holiness is prepare
ton for Heaven; the holy man is the
heir of Heavens indescribable glories.
The genuine Christian, who actually be-
heves Gods promises, who keeps his
souls window open toward Heaven, who
makes even the cross a ladder for q
higher climb upward, who fully realizes
that Just beyond this lfe-confict there
lies waiting for him an exceeding and
eternal weight of glory-if such a
Christian becomes a gloomy bigot, a
sour ascetic, or a melancholy monk, he
is a traitor to the Saviour who redeemed
him. A sour, mOrose, peevish, censori-
GUS, melancholy Christian IS a dis
grace to the name he bears. Such an
one needs new birth before he is fit
for the inheritance of the saints in
light" The more I study the bio
graphies and the living examples of the
truest Christians the more [ find them
to be the men and women who walked
in the sunshine Contact with the God
of love made them happy. I think of
stout old Martin Luther singing his
Elm feste burg" and hurting his ink
horn at the devil. see the holy-mind-
ed Wilberforce mingling his labors for
negro emancipation with playful romps
among his children. Summerfeld was
one OF the most solemn of preachers and
one of the most mirthful OF companions.
DIR. Guthrie, whose home-going to glory
has thrown Scotland into tears, wore
beneath his staunch, old-fashioned
orthodoxy the sweet playfulness of a
child. The highest tyres of healty
piety are always cheerful. Combined
with a holy hatred of sin is there a holy
delight in the friendship of God, though
the shallow skeptic does not compre-
bend it, there is such thing as "ioy in
the Holy Spirit" and the man who at
tains the most unselfish conservation to
Christ is the man who reaches most
nearly "to the perfect man, to the meas
ure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ" His holiness is the measure of
his happiness, here and forever. -C1lyler.

dealer in rum bitters. But no; to pro-
claim their real mission would ruin

They are still the unwholesome solace

compromising their responsibility; but
the sick are everywhere discarding them,
and adopting the Vinegar Bitters. The
success of this wonderful vegetable
remedy astonishes DIR. Walker himself.

without destroying, the vital machine

The Moon and Weather.

Almost everybody believes that the
changes of the moon influence the
weather But scientific men laugh at
the delusion. Some one has written to
the Universal Monthly to inquire if
any changes in the weather are attribu-
table to the influence of the moon.
The editor referred the communication
to Commodore Maury. His answer will
disapPoint a great many weatherwise
folks. The changes of the moon have
no effect upon the weather. The moon
changes, says Maury, every 10 days,
consequently every every change in the
weather must take place within the pc
Rod of $40 days either before or after
moon change, and her worshippers give
her all the credit for it. The moon
governs the tides, but not the atmos-
phere. The most faithful observers
have failed to detect any tide in the
latter, or any variableness under the
moons influence. So this vexed matter
may be considered as set at rest, and
we can defy the weather prophets.

the nearer your mind would rise to a con-
ception of the infinite. It is difficult to
imagine any other conceivable reason for
burying human being in such a string
of names, for instance, as this of the
king of Saxony,-ss Jean-N epomucene-
Marie Joseph Antoine Xavier Vincent
Louis onzague-F Franc oisde-P aule-Stan-
las-Bernard-P Paul Felix-Damans. The
only conceivable motive for such name
could be to prevent any possibility of
limiting the development of the royal
character in one single direction, by
providing an indefinite number of moral
conduct pipes for the conceivable variety
of the royal qualities. We suspect,
however, that good deal of the actual
mediocrity of reigning families is due to
the labyrinth of name in which the baby
is hidden, like a month in silk cocoon.
It takes more mental energy than most
human infants have, to break your way
out of such verbal palace prison as
it must be very like being born in a
wood, to find yourself at the core of such
a name as the saxon kings, when you
come to the possession of the very limit
ed consciousness of infancy. Indeed, if
the truth were known, might it not be
discovered that the noble novelist him.
self, whose posthumous work has given
rise to these remarks, got little mysti-
fed among the reduplicated Lytton's
and Bulwers of his earliest name. and
that it was the bad effect of this confus-
ing impress upon his literary character
which led him to deal so much as a
novelist in grandi1oquent mystery and
capital letters? We are disposed to
maintain that simplicity in naming is
the right of the great as well as of the
small. AS you may smother child in
luxury, so you may smother him in
names. No realist in art could ever
have come out of Sir Edward Earl
Lytton Bulwer Lytton. did anybody
ever write a really great book yet, who
had been embarrassed in childhood by
the heavy armor of a complicated name?

There are some capital Scottish an
ecdotes in recent number of EUery
Saturday, among them one of a dying
Highland chieftain, who asked his spir-
itual adviser " if there was any whisky
il heaven" and then, half apologetical-
ly said, 'ye ken, sir, it's no that / care
for it, but it looks weel on the table. "
Here is another DIR. Robert Knox,
the great teacher of anatomy, began one
of his letters in this way "Gentle-
men, there are no textbooks I can re-
commend. I wrote one myself, but it
is poor stuff. L can't recommend it.
The man who knows most about a sub
iect writes worst upon it. If you want
a good textbook on any subject, recon-
mend me to the man who knows moth
ing earthly about the subject The re-
suit is that we have no good textbook
on anatomy. We will have one soon,
however Prof. Monro is going towrite
one" This Prof. Monro was so lazy
that he was in the habit of using his
grandfather's lectures, written more
than hundred years before his day,
and students were electrified by hear
ing him lin 1929 and 1880 drawl out,
" When was in Padua. in 1894. This
was the signal for fun, and showers of

could never understand what it was all
about. There is also story of Scotch

lordship" ii. e. his MASTERY was, answer
ed, :" / hope he's weel." He was, in
fact, dead, but the old servitor was too
cautious to commit himself, in his opin-

drinking anecdotes and sayings is that
of an old worthy, who used to say,
