Anton Rubinatein.

The greatest concert pianist Of the
age, has recently rendered to Messrs.
Steinway and Sons the only testi-
monial ever given by him to any
piano manufacturer, from which we
extract the following: I deem it
my pleasant duty to express to you
my most heartfelt thanks for all the
kindness and courtesy you have
shown me during my stay in the
United States; but also, and above
all, for your unrivalled Piano -fortes,
which once more have done full
Justice to their worldwide reputa-
tion, both for excellence and capaei-
ty, for enduring the severest trials;
for during all my long and difficult
journeys all over America, in very
inclement season, 1 used and have
been enabled to use your Pianos
exclusively in my 215 concerts, and
also in private, with the most emf
nent satisfaction and effect"

Modern Orthodoxy "A Rational
view Of He'll

From sermon by Prof. Ewing, of
Chicago.
1t is only human religion such as
that OF Buddha, or Thor, or Jupiter that
may fear the growth ofintelligence, and
that may fade as the light Of reason
dawns; but OF a religion from God, given
by inspiratian, the first distinguishing
principle must be that it will reveal in
reasonableness SIS fast as man unfolds his
own intelligence, and still become more
glorious where there is the most culture
The medieval Christianity having been
disfigured by ignorance and superstition
the subsequent groth of religion had to
express itself, in infdelity. When a
Dante describes hell to mankind, and
his frightfvl pictures become the theol-
ogy of the church sweeping through
Romanism over into Protestanism until
Edwards says God will dash the sinner
down on hell's door and stamp upon
him, then infdelity must follow, not
simply to save man from such horrors.
but to rescue Gods blessed name from
such unspeakable infamy. nssuch
hell as Dante's, it is not man that is
punished--it is God that is destroyed.
From such ideas we must fly to a more
reasonable religion, carrying the cross
and our holy faith away from such a
degradation. We must, indeed, sepa-
rate forever the righteous and the wick
ed; but, as the drunkard is punished
in this world, and as the murderer ac-
cepts Of his arrest without blaming
God, as the sonl feels its own wickedness
and does not reproach the Creator, SO
the lost world is place, not where God
is seen as a cruel monster, but where
the human free win stands forth in all
itr divine powers, and reveals self-pun-
ishment over which we can almost
imagine the heavenly Father himself to
she'd tears. Such is the perdition of
reason, q place not where the Saviour
and God become an inquisition, but
where the sinners own will and own
heart have woven themselves garments
Of sackcloth and ashes, and where the
tears Of sorrow fall not from a malicious
decree Of God, passed from eternity, but
fall out Of the sinners own wretched soul
and misspent life. Thus, over almost
every idea OF the christian religion, there

SWAPPTD WIVES.

There seems to be but little
doubt that it is true. Two men,
who, it seems could not live in
domestic felicity with those whom
they had vowed to take for bet
ter or "worser," deliberately ira
ded wives. They were each mar.
ried to the wife of the other man,
the women assuming their maid
ed names. All this happened in
Preston county where people are
supposed TO be civilized. Both
men got cheated, as did both wo-
men.

nv MY NEIcnaoR.s GARDEN
by NJ. E. S.

In the bound Of mine own inclosur
The flowers are fair to see;
But the rose in my neighbours garden
Is fairer than oil to me.
So white and slender and stately
So gemmed with sparkling dew,
This rose that blooms for another
Is the sweetest ever that grew
My heart to it's grace and beauty
Goes forth as to a shrine:
And l sigh to its mystical fragrance
Gift were only mine 2"
Aud yet, If not my neighbor
But l, in fee and thrall,
Held all that marvellous glory
On the other side of the wall.
] might, perhaps, grow weary
Gifts royal pomp and grace,
And love with my love some daisy
With shy. uplifted face.
For since the gates Of Eden
Were shut on Adam and Eve,
The flowers we have are never
So sweet as the flowers we leave.
And rich within my garden
Though many flower might be,
The Rose that doomed for another
Might seem the best to me.

Practical Supporters of the Oar.
win Theory.

Darwin has practical supporter of his
theory in the shape of the first gorilla
ever tanned and now in London. A
small party dined with him not long
ago, and we are told that NJ onsieur Co.
rilla behaved like any courteous dinner
out, except that his conversation was
not brilliant, and that at one point in
the meal he calmly extended his paw and
removed from his neighbours plate to
his own some pretty tiny kickshaws,
which particularly pleased him. He
drank claret with his steak, lounged in
his chair between the courses, cracked
his walnuts and took his after dinner
glass of port with the most graceful ease.
He is very particular in his food and al
ways takes hot rum and water, sweeten-
ed with honey, before retiring Darwin,
the New York Tribune thinks, ought to
be happy man.

and management of any corpora
ton or enterprise, as tends to op-
press the people and rob them of
just profits.
We are not enemies to capital,
but we oppose the tyranny of mo-
nopolies.
We are opposed to excessive sal
aries, high rates of interest, and ex-
orbitant per cent. profits in trade.
They greatly increase our burdens
and do not bear a proper proper
ton to the profits Of producers.
We desire only self-protection,
and the protection of every true in
terest of our land by legitimate
transactions, legitimate trade and
legitimate profits.
We shall advance the cause of
education among ourselves and for
our children by all just means with
in our power. We especially advo-
cate for our agricultural and indus.
trial colleges, that practical agri-
culture, domestic science, and all
the arts which adorn the home be
taught in their courses of study.
We emphatically and sincerely
assert the oft repeated truth taught
in our organic law, that the Grange
National, State or Subordinate, is
not a political party organiza-
ton. No Grange, iftrue to its OBJ
legations, can discuss political or
religious questions, nor call polit-
ical conventions,n nor nominate cam
didates nor even discuss their mer-
its in its meetings.
Yet the principles we teach I'M
derlie all true politics, all true
craftsmanship, and ifproperly car
ried out, will tend to purify the
whole political atmosphere of our
country.
For we seek the greatest good to
the greatest number. But we
must always bear it in mind that
no one by becoming grange mem
Der gives up that inalienable right
and duty which belongs to every
American citizen, to take prope
interest in the politics of his coun-
try. -
On the contrary, it is right for
every member to do everything in
his power legitimately to influence
for the good the action of any
political party to which he belongs.
1t is his duty to do all he can in
his own party to put down bribe-
ry, corruption and trickery to see
that none but competent, faithful
and honest men, who will unfiinch-
ingly stand by our industrial inter-
ests are nominated for positions of
trust; and to have carried out the
principles which should always
characterize every Grange mem
Der, that the Office should seek the
man, and not the man the Office.
We cherish the belief that Sec
tionalism is and of right should be
dead and buried with the past.
Our work is for the present and
the future, In our Agricultural
brotherhood and its purposes we
shall recognize no North, no South,
no East no West.
1t shall be an abiding principle
with us to relieve any of our OPP
pressed and suffering brotherhood
by any means at our command.
Last but not least, we proclaim
it among our purposes to inculcate
a proper appreciation Of the abili-
ties and sphere of women as is in
dicated by admitting her to men,
bership and position in our order.
