From the Evangelis t..
THE PULPIT YELL.

The habit of shouting so loud as to of
tend the earis perhaps equally objection
able, while sudden transition from one
extreme to the other is sufficiently artif,
cial to comprehend the evils of both.
But there is another and a growing fash
ion, so vicious, so offensive to good taste
so destructive to spiritual emotions, and
80 repellant to serious CONCENTRATIONS,
that public speaker has need only to
hear himself as others hear him, to feel
conscious-stricken for disturbing public
worship. It is the abrupt transition
from low to high, not mere hallooing-
that expression is quite too tame-but an
instantaneous; startling yell, which would
drown the sound of savage war .whoop.
Let no one think this is a cericature. IF
what is sometimes witnessed in public
speakers 1t would be difficult to select
language forcible enough to make the
description thyperbolical. IF there be
any who, not having witnessed an in>
stance of this miscalled oratory, are una
able to recognize this photograph, let
him imagine himself seated in house of
worship in devout frame of mind, list
ening with absorbed attention to an In
structive discourse in harmony with his
serious contemplations, delivered in a
tone of voice adapted to the sentiment
and to the awakened feelings of the con-
gregation. when instantly, as with an cleo
trio shock, the speaker utters yell that
falls painfully on the dullest ear. The
rupture OF water-spout would not more
surely v4s1nxtge ais coutents taau SUCH
an explosion wSuld,empty the mind of all
serious thoughts.

HOW WRIT FOUND A WIFE.

A recent sketch Of the loYes Of The
great lawyers Eontains this touching IN
cidenL in thc lie of William Writ In
his younger lys he was victim to the
passion e intoxicating drinks, which
had b. the bane Of so many distinguish
ed il e"al profession. Afianced TO
a 1eaut accomplished young
HQman, made and broken repea' =
81 pied u Amendment, and she, after
pate - and f9hdly enduring his dis
graGeIdi ~ ad at length dismissed
hin as II Bile. Their next meeting
after lssal was in public street
in tIs Gig of Richmond. William Writ
lay drunk aid asleep on the sidewalk, on
q y summer day, the rays of the sun
pouring down Oh his uncovered head, and
the lies crawling over dis swollen fea-
lures.
AS the young lady approached in her
spectacle, strange to her eyes, but alas
SO common to others VINO knew the VIC
tim, as to attract little remark. She did
not at first recognize the sleeper, and
was about to hasten on, when she was led
on by one of those impulses which form
the. turning point in human lives, to
scrurinize his features. What was her
emotion when she recognized in :hem her
lover she drew forth her hadkerchief
and carefully spread it over his face and
hurried away. When Writ came to him
self he found the handkerchief, and in
one corner the beloved name. With
heart almost breaking with grief and re-
morse, he made new VOW of reforma
ton. He kept that vow, AID he married
the owner of the handkerchief.

How TO FEED RYE.>-The Agricultu
rist gives this advice: 1--WE have fed rye
to horses and cows as green fodder, cut
when coming into ear, in which state it is
very excellent feed. To feed rye that
has been cut ripe, we would thresh IL.
grind the grain along With corn or oats
cut the straw in fodder cutter, moisten
it with water, sprinklea handful of sal.
and three quarts Of the ground feed upon
q largo pailful of moist cut straw. This
makes very good feed for an ordinary
sized horse when working moderately. !"

HINDRANCES TO SCIENTIFIC PRO
GRESS.

At a reunion of the Liberal Club
"a scientific organization in New York
city) papers were read or speeches
made by members of the Club-the
time being limited to eight minutes.
The following is the speech of one of the
Editors of the Rural New orker:7
In the eight minutes / shall attempt
to name bat two OF the hindrances to
scientific progress that occur to me. What
| say shall be with 30 captious spirit nor,
trust, with egotism. l simply give you
what | see, looking out from my practi-
cal stand point, as practical man, haY-
ing to do with practical men and their
daily needs. These two hindrances
are
l. The Educational Hindrance which,
grows out of an imperfect conception of
what education really is or ought to be.
Words, and ideas, and principles, and
formulas, and laws are all we'll. But
their use end ho,0 to use them is too sadly
neglected. The education of the schools
ls not suggestive enough it suppresses,
and does not strengthen, inquiry. It
gives the pupil eyes to look with, but
does not teach him to see and it is not
safe to say that all who have eyes see
and that all who have ears hear. We
have 80 much to do with material things
in their manipulation for use and in
using them that specific education is
fast becoming an imperative necessity :;
and until it becomes feature, yes, the
feature, of our educational system, that
System may be, in my opinion, justly re-
garded bar to scientific progress.
2. Scientists themselves are TIE last
hindIance shall Eame. This second
hindrance is kindred in character to the
first, and may be regarded, perhaps,
as its offspring. for the faults of educa-
ton seem to cling to and control them.
| concede that in this respect scientists
have made progress during the past de-
cade but they still stand, it seems to me,
with their backs to the sun, casting shad
Ows upon the objects they would exam
inc. From my standpoint they hinder
scientific progress by attaching too great
Importance to the mere nomenclature Of
science, and ignoring its application to
the everyday wants of q practical peonle.
II, without giving offense to learned
gentlemen who may be present, can
say they are as class too egotistic and
exclusive with their knowledge, too CON.
tsnE to know and too unwilling to do or
leach others to do, shall say just whs.
/ think. The fact that they do not
prove to those who look up to them
with something akin TO awe that their
vast acquisitions of knowledge may be
applied and realize practical results,

cy. In fact they have nearly one hundred

Resolved, That We deeply sympathize

10 use every available means 10 secure the

Resolved, That the Republican party
having dcspoiled the State Of millions Of
dollars heretofore appropriated for railroad
purposes, is unworthy Of public confidence.
aud that experience justiiies the conclusion
that if that party should be again entrusted
wiih the administration of our internal i'm
prsyeinents. its leaders would again prove
recreant to their sacred trust. aud would
