Mr.. Beecher last Sunday paid his at
tention to those who seek to destroy old
formulas of belief, without having any
adequate new formulas to substitute,
and said, among other things: "One
word about new truths and their advo-
Gates. Words do not make quality. Men
are not orthodox because they say they
are. Men talk about devoting their
lives to the finding out OF truth, as if no
one else had done so until this day. This
is arrogance, conceit, dogmatism. They
have their tun about roaring Methodists,
straight-faced Presbyterians, and no.
laced Congregationalists. They say
there may be God, bat they have not
found him out yet. These men are no
better than other men. They are just as
likely to be proud and conceited and to
quarrel, and they do quarrel. They are
all human and IN no sense to be absolute
authorities for anybody. There are many
who follow them from afar off. Although
the models are bad enough, these mon
key disciples are worse. They take the
g. apsuds of science and, sticking their
clay pipe into it, blow bubble In which
they think they see God, but it is nothing
but a distorted reflection Of their own
countenance.

In MIR. Beecher's Sunday morning SER
mon he said: 1t is better to believe that
the church Is the fountain-head Of all au-
thority than to have no faith in the
Church. 1t is not sale TO take away the
faith of any man until you can give him
another and better religion. A system
of faith that has become enshrined in
the love of it's adherents, which is en-
deared by the memory of father, mother,
sister and brother. If You take tnat
away and put none other in its place,
how can you suppose you have done God
a service? You have taken him out of
the garden and left him in the desert,
Even transition from the lower to the
higher form is dangerous. Many per-
sons have sailed out of the harbor of
Popery and have been wrecked before
they got within the harbor of Protestan-
tism. Many such ventures have pro-
duced wrecks Of Christianity. 81 would
rather have a good Catholic than bad
Protestant, and 1 would rather have
either than Nothing at all. The change
OF Christian belief should always be
from poor to better. Ii a man has poor
way Of looking at his religion it is not
so very difficult to convince him in his
poverty Of better way: A poor man
would rather have white bread than
no Loaf. Given the better quality, let
him taste of its sweetness and he will
readily accept it. 1t Protestants go to
convert Catholics they should use eff
cacious means tor the proofs. II the
Church would prove by its gentleness,
love, charity, courage, and noble man.
hood, then that is the Church that has
got the living eplstle that Will cause men
TO seek it.
He concluded his sermon by a refer
ence to the work of scientists, as an
auxiliary in the development OF the
things of nature that all might blend har-
moniously in the greater glory of God.
There could or should be no conflict be-
tween the Church and scientists, despite
the affected pride and conceit Of men
who pretend to doubt the existence of
God and scotf at divine revelation. The
conflict had always been between the
flesh man and the spirit man, and any
human reasoning that attempted to OBJ
literate the truths of that antagonism by
elevating the material and belittling the
divine spirit which was implanted in
man was degrading and dangerous to
the foundation Of society upon which
civilization rests.

WOMEN AS SMUGGLERS.

Even the ladies have caught the infec-
ton. The mammoth journals of the
country having been SO crowded for the
past half dozen years with accounts of
public swindling, the ladies have been
led into branchof science new to them,

clearly defined female practice under
the ideas impressed upon them by the
investigating committees has been very
recently brought to light in New York.

able women, Madame Juyin, was ar

q lot of rich dresses and other goods.
The goods were confscated by the reve-
nue. officers and sold at auction, while
the Madame was sent to Jail for brief
time. Were Madame Juvin the only
woman implicated the matter would not
deserve any special comment; but it
seems that several Of the first ladies of
that city were cozening out Of the in
tended fraud and expected to save the
duties on their dresses.
The names of these ladies were sup.
pressed in all the reports except that of
the New York Times, which mentioned
several of them, such as Mrs. CyrusW and
Mrs. David Dudley Field-the one Field

for Hairies u Huston, who are brothers

was taken from the warel ouse at night,
and shipped by canal to Cleveland, Gin

defendants don'J deny that The fraud
against the Government was practiced,
but claim they had nothing to do with the
matter. They further claim that the
whole case was trumped up against them
by VIM. Huffman, the chief witness for

self from the same prosecution. They
claim that Huffman was Tor the most Of

OUR grand-fathers do not seem to have
been SO good as some hypochondriacal
preachers, novelists and croakers seem
to imagine. The recent book of "Recoi.
lections and Suggestions" by Lord John
Russell, throws some light on the morals
and politics OF the men who constituted
the government under the great King
George III. of blessed memory. The
common price of a seat in the Commons
from the small boroughs during a Par
lament was $4,000. The aristocrats
generally dictated who should be elected
from the boroughs where they respect
lively resided. After paIliaments be-
came more liable to short existence,
seats were bargained for at s., 200 year.
"Borough mongering" was an art IN
those days. When borough contained
m unmanageable number of votes the
practice was TO buy up freehold tenures
DO as to reduce the number Of ele ctors.
"If a freeholder refused to sell 1t was
not very uncommon practice to blow
up his house with gunpowder, and thus
disfranchise political opponent. In
this manner a number of nomination
boroughs were created and they became
. valuable property" These are Lord
Johns own words. Some lords had the
control of several burroughs because
they owned the land. This shows that
land monopoly and slavery are closely
allied

meeting for 1876 is to be held in this
country, and large numbers of Euro
peans are already looking forward to it
as part of the Centennial treat they will
enjoy in the great Republic.
The States General of Holland has
recently passed resolution in favor of
some place Tor arbitratipg all questions
of international difficulty that are cap
able OF such solution. The whole Dutch
press, save one, is vigorously sustaining
the resolution. A similar resolution is
before the Belgian States General, sup
ported by both the leading Liberals and
Conservatives. The British Parliament,
the Italian Chamber of Deputies, the
Congress of the United States, and the
Diet of Sweden have heretofore COM
mitted themselves to the movement. In
France the new scheme for organizing
the army by which all the people are to
be made soldiers, has awakened atten=
ton to the cause among the people. In
some places the peasants have risen
against the organization Of the new
branch of the army. France Is preparing
for revenge upon Prussia, aid the gov
eminent will probably withhold its as
sent to the movement until after she has
recovered her old boundary and got
back the indemnity with interest.
This little matter of national pride will

1t is sufficient to draw off the surplus en-
thusiasm Of the people and prevent seri-
GUS disturbance from the socialist fac
tions. What has been done during the
past three years under the Republic is
the best guaranty ofgreat future achieve
ments under Republic. After the death
OF Bismarck and Moltke, and the Empe.
ror, which can not be long postponed,
Germany will come into new hands, and
may not be so formidable. France, Prus-
sia and Russia will long hesitate about
coming into the peace movement.
Still the labor Of the Association will
not be lost. 1t is time that nations had
either thrown off their cloak of Chris
tianity, or ceased to deliberately murder
by thousands in every battle, to expend
the highest skill in improving the
enginery OF death, and to waste the
greatest talent in organizing war. JUS
tice is on one side Of every dispute, and
it is the greatest of absurdities to sup
pose that the Lord presides over the
fight and vindicates righteousness by
the issue of battle and blood. Candid
arbitration can always settle differences
justly without the havoc and desolation
of war. 1t is time tina. civilized nations
were holding the triumph of mental force
above the brutal victories that barba-
rism has bequeathed to civilization.
But intrigues are constantly going on
amongst those Christian nations. With
in month Russia, Prussia and Austria
have procured the assent of the Sultan
of Turkey to such treaty as wipes out
the results of the Crimean struggle, and
sends France and England adrift. Prus-
sia has thus bargained for the support of
Russia in any possible future complica-
tions with the Western powers. Per-
haps England will be compelled to coll
quer her aversion to war and make com.
mon cause with France.

Maxims Of Q Millionaire.

the rule for his guidance through life, to
which his success in business is mainly
attributed. They contain SO much wis
dom that we copy them:
RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF MY LIFE,
1904.
Remember always that labor is one of
the conditions of our existence. Time Is
gold; throw not one minute away, but
place each one to account.
Do unto all men us you would be done
Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do to-day.
Never bid another do what you can do
yourself.
Never covet what is not your own.
Never think any matter 80 trifings not
to deserve notice.
Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate the
transactions of your life.s
Study in your course of life, to do the
greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, but live in an honorable
simplicity.
Labor, then, to the last moment of
your existence. .
Pursue strictly the above rules, and
the Divine blessings and riches will
flow upon you to your hearts content;
but, first of all, remember the chief and
great duty of your life should be to tend,
by all means in your power. to the hon.
or and glory Of our Divine Creator.
Without temperance there is no health !;
without virtue, no order; without re.
ligion, no happiness; and that the aim
OF our being should be to live wisely,
sob .rly, and rlghteously.
