Lords Prayer g three hundred times in one

Now the terrors of thousand hells can
never enforce, make acceptable, or even de-
Hra5le to young or old, a religion attired in
such an unnatural, unforbidding garb. This
is the best world we were ever in it is Gods
world if lie has reserved better for US, let
u sh3Y our gratitude by being thankful for
tLis. 1t is to be feared there is too much of
this penance-like AMI propitiatory worship
even at the present day, not voluntary and
spontaneous from love of it.
We need a religion based upon sound mo-
rality, from which it never should have been
divorced that takes cognizance of the busl-
ness relations OF life that gets money hon
estIy, and spends it judiciously; that don't
steal in Congress, nor lie at listing time !;
that don't 60 into ecStacies at prayer meet

through the painful vigils of the night; that
remembers the widows and orphans, not
with stingy fist that manifests its love of
the Unseen through true and ardent love
of the Seen-measures all differences by the
golden rule-in short, that indulges in no
amusements, in kind or extent, that do vio-
lence to any faculty Of body or mind, but
seeks to develop all in due harmony, con-
trolled by the intellect and moral senti-
meBts.
Ia conclusion, we have only to say, that
we do not approve of these expensive all
night balls. They are war upon nature,
evidently Partaking more of dissipation
than a recreation. They should be reformed

Bile to uninterrupted experiment and re-
fection. Professor Tyndall urged this
view with earnest eloquence in his lectures,
and generously left all the money he re-
ceived above his expenses to carry out
such a plan OF the $3.50 which he
received, $4,000 were conveyed to a
committee, which is authorized to expend
it for the ssistance Of students IN original
science, in gaining their educatior, and IN
carving out their researches. The inter
est of this sum will not 90 very far in this
way but it is a noble example, and can
hardly fail to incite others to do likewise.
There are not few who are disposed to
resent the utterances Of Professor Tyndal!
as casting reflections upon American
science but the imputation is uncalled for.
Prof. Tyndall was not drawn to this coun-
try to make money. He came at the
urgent solicitation of many friends, and
worked hard in the pure interest OF science,
and the appropriation Of his funds for the
purposes specified was made in good faith,
and is in entire keeping with his character.
Nothing is more notorious than the
| fact that with all our boasted education,
and all our superabounding wealth, and
all our vaunted liberaIity in the use OF II
the original workers in science are but
shabbily appreciated and wretehedly sus-
tained in the labor Of investigation. le'

much to promote it, but much isolation ha,

are apt to run into distractions and t

practical questions were thrust upon tn
attention OF scientists. The arts Of Int
have offered their problems to investigator
for solution. and the stimulus from thi
source has had large share in the pro

point of view that the American scientif

Let me not be understood as desiring to
say a word in u spirit of derogatlon from
the memory Of Abraham Lincoln. He
afterward proved himself before the world
a pure, brave, honest man, faithful to his
arduous task, and laying down his life at
the penalty for his country's safety. At
the same time it is the duty Of history in
dealing with all human action to do strict
justice IN discriminating between persons,
and by no means to award to one honors
that clearly belong to another. | must
then affirm without hesitation that IN the
history Of our government down to this
hour, no experiment 50 rash has ever been
made as that OF elevating to the head OF
affairs a man with 50 little previous
preparation for his task as Mr.. Lincoln
If this be true of him in regard to the
course of domestic administration, with
which he might be supposed partially
familiar, it is eminenty SO in respect to
the foreign relations of which he knew
absolutely nothing Furthermore, he was
quite deficient in his acquaintance with
the character and qualities of public men
or their aptitude for the position to which
he assigned them. Indeed, he never
selected them solely by that standard. >
But, great as were the services
Of Mr.. Seward iu his own peculiar depart
ment, it would be mistake to infer that
they were restricted within that limit.
[ now come to point where what appears
to me to have been one of his greatest
qualities, is to be set forth 1t is impos-
slble for two persons in the relations OF the
President aud the Secretary Of State to GO
on long together without taking measure
of their respective powers Mr.. Lincor
could not fail soon to perceive the fac
that whatever estimate he might put OF
his own natural judgment, he had to dea
with superior in native intellectual pow
er, in extent of requirements, sin breadtt
, of philosophical experience, and in tn
, force of moral discipline. On the othe
hand, Mr.. Seward could not have beer
, long blind to the deficiencies of the chic
in these respects, however highly he nigh

capacity, and his generous and amiab
