THE HUMAN BODY.-Lions and tigers,
true to theirinstincts, may be expected to
MAIN and disfigure tlerbodies of the in
ferior animals that they may satiate their
thirst for blood, imnelled by hunger.
The animal life soon dies and only a
soulless brute has been sacrificed. But
man has a higher nature and was in
tended for a higher mission than one of
blood, outrage, crime, war and murder.
His body, so f~earfully and wonderfully
made,n the casket of the soul, the in
tended abode of the Holy Spirit, was
not made for a target, wa not made to
be mutilated, limb torn from limb by
the cannon ball, the body severed by
the broad-sword, the head, the seat of
the immortal mind, battered and bruis-
ed and MANNED by the war-club of the
savage or the bludgeOn of the more re-
fined and scientific warrior, or to have
it's members scattered recklessly on the
| CORY field in savage brutality. War is
cruelty intensified, a ruthless attack
upon the humanities of u higher be-
ing. 1t is brutal in it's origin and in it's
spirit. 1t necessarily shocks every SEN
timent of the GodEke within as certain
ly as it mutilates the body. War as
necessarily blunts the finer feelings,
impairs the promptings of the con-
science, ~GreimGlises and shocks the hu-
name of our nature as cruelty and MUIR
der do In the private walks of life. 1t
necessarily presents a barrier to human
progress, physical and mental, and as
necessarily wages an !" irrepressible con-
fiietn with the more ennobling and hu-
MANNING of our being, giving the infer
ior nature a fearful control over the
superior.-[Dr. J.. FL. Hanaford.

GILDED TRAPPINGs.-Aside from the
pomp and display of military process
sions, the gay plumes, the sparkling
| epau1ets, the h~igh-GoloTed sashes, the
general gorgeous display, the imposing
parade and the exciting spirit OF
martial music, it might seem that wal
would be seen in all Of its native de-
| f1orfniCies, It's natural hideousness and
it's inevitable atrocities. Like the satin
lined and silver and gold mounted cas-
ket, these trapnings cover an unsightly
mass of corruption. Both are intimate
1y connected with death and corruption.
Both are identified with sorrows, bit
terness and woe. Both point to the
shrouding of society in grief and mark
| the fate of all that is human.
The red man in his forest home, in his
mental and moral darkness, was equally
enamored of such displays, as NANTES
ted by a taste for paintings of the body,
| the wearing of gay celored feathers and
all of the tinselry within his reach.
| Thus attifed, thus bedaubed with rude
paints and bedizened in the gay plum
age of the fowls Of his forest home,
with the skins of wild beasts, his outfit
as complete as his position allowed
though less bedecked than his success
sors in the present advanced stage of
civilization-he marched in conscious
dignity and self-adulation to the glo-
rious work of Staying his fellows, in
blood-thirstiness and rapacity riyaling
the ferocious beasts around him. 1t is
not strange or unnatural. therefore, that
as the science of war has advanced with
the march of civilization modern war
riers have in some respects outstripped
their predecessors in this personal
~adornment, and that they have made
the arts of war still more effective in
human butchery.
IT is important that the young should
be diverted froR such displays, such
s~enseless mockeries, such association,
SO calculated to arouse the baser pas
sions, and that their attention should
be directed to more enrolling models
and more humanizing examples. There
are beauties IN nature and pleasures in
the real duties of life, duties connected
with blessing humanity, foTmore worthy
their apard.-TI IN TT

Dying for our Country

In times of war we hear much said
about the duty and glory of dying for
our county. Orators who are careful
to keep their precious selves out of the
bloody fray,will harangue audiences by
the hour on the nobleness and reward
of other people laying down their lives
tosaye their bleeding country. So meri-
tori0us is this sacrifice considered by
some, that they are ready to promise
eternal happiness in heaven to those who
make.it, whatever may be their charac-
tiers or other deeds while here on earth.
But the religion which prepares men
for heaven is-not manifested by imbru-
ing our hands in the blood of others and
the act of rushing into lannon's mouth
will not atone for other sins which have
been committed throughout a lifetime.
Dying for ones country generally
means, when stript of it's sophistry, dy-
ing for those who wish to goUeYn the
country. 1t is dying for kings and no.
bles and other great men who quarrel
among themselves and then, too selfish
to do their own fighting, meanly call on
their subjects to do it for them. And
when thousands or hundreds of thous-
ands of these subject have "bitten the
dust" how soon they are forgotten and
left to mOlder in aforementioned graves,
while their poor families and friends are
suffering for the want of their care and
support. What has been the gain of
dying for the countries during the many
centuries whose history has been writ
ten in blood? In many cases where men
have died for their country, their coun-
try has died with them. This was the
case with ancient Greece and Rome, and
has been also with many modern nations.
They have resorted to the sword to
avenge some fancied insult Oh secure
some unlawful end, and mightier ones
have paid them in the coin of their own
choosing and blotted them from the map
of the continent. Peg
How much more wise and noble to
lire for ones country instead of dying
for it. When dead there is an end to all
efforts to promote the welfare of our
friends and neiglbors. But while we
live we may daily perform deeds and
exert an influence that shall bless, not
only our friends and our country, but
the world.
Let then this false maxim, that it is
our duty to die for our country, be re-
legated to oblivion along with that equal
ly false one, that the way to preserve
peace is to prepare for war. Both had
their Origin in time darker than our own
and are unworthy to be cherished or
believed or by enlightened people.-[L.
