The Bible and the Republic

The Protestant apologists, after all,
could advise nothing more than the
reading -ef-She Bible. I can not COM
prehend how the Protestant people of
Europe delay so in embracing the re-
public. Often in my reflections upon
history | have maturely considered that
vivacity with which the Latin people
comprehend and the rapidity with which
they realize the most advanced ideas,
especially in the sphere of politics.
Here all the elements are employed to
keep the people in complete ignorance
In my travels through Switzerland what
most astOnished me was the quantity of
liberal ideas which there descend from
the pulpits, mingled with the aroma of
religious ideas and eternal hopes.
When I heard in the church of ST.
Peter, at Geneva, a sermon full of allu-
sions 10 the spirit of the age, the genius
of liberty, to the G0d of the gospel,
the book and code of democracies, in
voluntarily there passed through my
memory the sermons had listened to
in my parish church, filed with threat
enings, with terror, with pictures of
hell, with all the rhetoric calculated to
belittle the mind and cast it into dejec-

the slavery of the conscience and the
soul. If the Latin people could read,
if they were obliged, at least every
Sunday, to turn the pages of their little
bibles instead of hearing the chants of
their priests, in strange and unintelli-
gible language, would they not have
been two centuries ago republicans p
because the bible is book full, from
the first page to the last, will not say
of republican ideas, but certainly Of re
publican sentiments. and sentiments,
with their poetry, have greater influence
than ideas among the people.
Demosthenes never spoke against the
kings of Macedon as the last of the
Judges speaks against the kings whom
his misguided tribes demanded. Even
yet when we wish to condemn the ser
vile tendencies of the masses we must
repeat that sublime language and an
nounce the same punisbmenes. The
discourse of Samuel is reiterated from
age to age SO well in the imprecation of
Danton against the kings of France as
in the songs of Schiller which paint the
birth of the republic of Switzerland. =

Sitting at Table.

A writer in the Spectator says
There is one point connected with din
ner on which opinion seems still to be a
little chaotic, and that is the arrange
ment of the guests. The tendency is to
let them arrange themselves, and as this
is in accordance with modern manners,
the object of which is unrestraint and
the note of which is temporary init
macy, the tendency will probably pre-
vail. 1t diminishes the trouble of en-
tertainiDg and abolishes the RESPONSE
bility of the entertainer, but we have a
doubt about it nevertheless. Where ev-
erybOdy is really en- familie, leissez
fare ought to succeed; but even then
it is slightly selfish, marks partialities
too much, and leads to that neglect of
disagreeable persons which it is the last
lesson of high breeding to avoid and
where the family character is a momen-
tary assumption it produces confusion.
In company where precedence IS self
evident an inexplorable precedence
would do as Il substitute for order; but
it would be a wearisome substitute, and
is very seldom completely appli-
cable. Relatives would sit too fire.
quently together. Sitting next the ex-
act person you do not want to meet is q
trial to ones sdUOir-UiUre which, though
morally most benefcisl-for, after oil,
to be agreeable to ones enemy predis-
poses one to forgive him-does notalways
tend to the enjoyment of a dinner, and
dinner in the sense in which we are
using the word just now is primarily
intended to be enjoyable. 1t is not to
be an edifyinR social exercise, but an
enjoyment. We doubt whether in a
large dinner the host is not the best
person to decide where his guest shall
sit. He is often the only man who
knows them all he can judge pretty
accurately of their predictions, and his
decision terminates all chance of marked
aYoidancea.n

Gardening in Japan.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes The native gardeners
possess a wonderful skill in the training
and dwarfing of what in America would
be large, coarse-leaved trees the pine
and cedar are brought into diminutive
grotesqre shapes, and TIE maple, with
its tiny leaves and delicate cOlors, forms
a favorite house plant. Many thick
shrubs are clipped into the shape of
various animals, and by the aid Of BAN
boo twigs as support a certain fine
leaved vine (of the name of which am
ignorant) is so woven as to represent a
man, boat, and other curious devices.
At q certain flower show, which took
place in Yedo some months ago, jap
anese lady, life-size, holding an open
parasol, was accurately represented by
the peculiar tWistings to which chrys-
apthemum in full bloom was subjected.
But the cultivation of fruits and vege-
tables is by no means attended with the
success that is met with in the training
of flowers. Fruits, especially, though
of tempting appearance, are most OF
them utterly tasteless. 1t is said that
foreign fruits, whom planted in this
country, partake of the tastelessness OF
the native ones after the first year Of
bearing, which compels the importation
of fresh seeds to supply the wants of
the foreign community. SINE of the
fruits and vegetables are Of an unusual
size persimmons average three inches
in diameter, and turnips are about the
length and thickness of mans arm.

Struggling with the Ocean.

Paul BoyntoD, we'll known among the
habitues of Atlantic City as the cham
pion swimmer, and who left New York
a few weeks ago in the steamship Queen,
with the intention of putting on a new
life-saving apparatus and being thrown
into the sea three hundred miles from
the land, and then padding himself to
shore, has turned up il Ireland. 1t
seems the captain of the Queen would
not allow the experiment to be made as
originally designed, so Boynton made
an involuntary passage to the coast of
the Green Isle. When the steamship
had reached a point close to Fastnet
Rock, Cape Clear, three miles, and the
hamlet of Baltimore, seven miles dis
tant, the commander of the Queen,
having been frequently importuned, gave
his permission for Boynton to go over
board. Boynton drew on his India
rubber air-tight suit and inflated the
air chambers in his air-tight sack he
placed the food for three days, COM
pass, bulls eye lantern, some books
Gust to beguile the time on the water),
some signal rockets and United States
flag. In his side pocket he placed
mail which the passengers had given
to him to post, he strapped his bowie
knife and ak to his side, and grasping
his paddle, was lowered into the water,
amid the cheers of the passengers, at
half past o'clok P. NJ. 1t was a wild,
dark night. He lay on his back pad
ding vigorously, and now the lights of
the vessel were lost in the night. In
quarter of an hour more his spirit al
most quailed when tossed high on the
crest of wave he could no longer see
the coast line or any lights. The wind
blew, the rain poured down and the
tide set dead against him. He was
drifting out to sea, and to add to the
awful loneliness of the situation, and
to increase the dreadful peril, violent
gale commenced. He was tossed on
mountainous waves, over which he
fioundered and padded for dear life
until four o'clock the next morning,
having traversed distance of thirty
miles from Baltimore, his original OBJ
jective point. He then started for
Cork, where he is now sporting naval
uniform, pre- badly that of the Nautilus
navy of New Jersey, of which he is the
only member.

Maxims Worth Knowing.

Administrators are liable to account
for interest on funds in their hands,
although no profit should have been
made upon them, unless the exigencies
of the estate rendered it prudent that
they should hold the funds uninvested.
When a house is rendered untenant-
able, in consequence of improvements
made on the adjoining lot, the owner OF
such cannot recover damages, because
he had knowledge of the approaching
danger in time to protect himself from it.
A person who has been led to sell
goods by means of false pretense can
not recover them from one who has
purchased them in good faith from the
fraudulent vendor.
Permanent erectiOns and fixtures,
made by mortgager after the execution
of the mortgage upon land conveyed by
it, becomes part of the mortgaged
premises.
A seller of goods, chattels, or other
property, commits no fraud in Law when
he neglects to tell the purchaser of any
laws, defects, or unsoundness In the
same.
Money paid for the purpose of set
tling or compromising prosecution for
a supposed felony, cannot be recovered
back by the party paying it.
