Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1876-01-19

He MADE UP HIS MIND.-A story
told by Captain Malet, of the British
army, in aspeech recently delivered
by him at Stoke, is worth preserving.
He said: "A recruit on being asked by
his commanding officer what religion
he professeG, in order that he mi ght
go to his proper place Of worship,
said: "Pleasc, sir, have not made up
my mind He probably thought he
would get off the church parade, but
the officer was equal to the occasion.
Turning to the sergeant ct the COM
pany he said: Sergeant, here is
man who has not made up his mind
as to what religion he is. We will
give him every opportunity. Let him
be marchrl to the Romanist service at
7:45, to the Church of England pa
rade at 9:15, and to the Presbyterian
service at II until further notice. The
man soon made up his mind that he
was a devout churchman, probably
(said Captain MaleO because the ser
vice was the shortest; and if, indeed,
convection may he dispensed with in
the matter, it would be quite difficult
to find better ground for final de.
csion.

Activity Is ENOt Always Energy.

There are some men whose failure
to succeed in life is problem to 9th
ers, as well as to themselves. They
are industrious, prudent and economi-
cal yet, after long lite Of striving,
old age finds them still poor. They
complain Of illluck. They say fate is
always against them. But the fact is
that they miscarry because they have
mistaken mere activity for energy.
Confounding two things essentially
different, they have supposed that, if
they were always busy, they would be
certain to be advancing their fortunes.
They have forgotten that misdirected
labor is but waste of activity. The
person who would succeed in life is
like marksman firing at target if
his shots miss the mark they are a
waste Of powder. So in the great
game of life, what man does must be
made to count, Or it might almost as
we'll have been left undone. Every.
body knows some one in his circle of
friends who, though always active,
has this want Of energy. This dis
temper, if we may call it such, exhib-
its itselfin various ways, In some
cases the man has merely an executive
faculty, when he should have a direc.
tive one ; in other language, he
makes a capital clerk for himself,
when he ought to do the thinking Of
the business. In other cases what is
done is not done either at the right
time or in the right way. Energy,
correctly understood is activity pro-
portioned to the end. Scientific

PO ET r Y L.
The Religion Of Hudibras.

...... He was of that stubborn crew
OF errant saints, whom all men grant
To be the true church militant
Such as do build their faith upon
The holy text of pike and gum
Decide all controversies by
Infalliable artillery,
And prove their doctrine orthodox
BY apostolic blows and knocks
Call fire, and sword, and desolation
A godly, thorough Reformation,
Which always must be carried on
And still be doing, never done
As if religion were intended
For nothing else but to be mended.
A sect whose chief devotion lies
In odd perverse antipathies
In falling out with that or this,
And finding somewhat still amiss
More peevish, cross, and splenetic,
Than dog distract, or monkey sick
That with more care keep holiday
The wrong, than others the right way;
Compound for sins they are inclined to,
By damning those they have no mind to
Still so perverse and opposite,
AS if they worshipped God for spite;
The self-same thing they will abhor
One way, and long another for.

me from my project, but my word was

only remained to complete the prepar-
ations for my hurried and perllous
Journey. This was how matters stood
with me. I, Harry Lyndham, one OF
the many young Englishmen whom
the hopes Of growing rich had drawn
to the Far West of America. was
then resident of Tucson City, and a
clerk in the employment of Curtis
Brothers. The firm consisted of two
old, and eccentric men-old bachelor
brothers-self. educated, as well as, in
the commercial sense of the word,
selfmade, and whose names were
known and respected throughout all
that wild region that comprises Arl-
zona, Montana, and the northern
counties of Texas.
Oddly enough, it was because | was
au Oxford man that my then employ
ers had given me the preference over

THE LAST BENCH IN THE TOLLS OF
GENERAL FUKD-TALEs FOR TAX PAY
ERs.
When the last Republican supreme bench
mounted the throne in January, 1865, II had
name but no abiding place, no home. Judges
Ray, Elliott, Gregory and Frazer composed
the court. Compared with the present
bench in every particular and compared
with itself after the present buildings
had been completed and occupancy
followed in the year 1868, the
old bench was very migratory aud primitive
affair. That statement no one will attempt
TO dispute, least of all the practicing attorneys
of these days, who are best informed on the
subject. And it follows natura Iy that the
expenses which the S ate would be called ON
be comparatively small. The quarters were
poor, entirety unworthy ofthe s ate, aud such
a thing as convenience was out OF the queS-
ton. such continued TO be the financial and
social condition OF the Supreme Court till the
Legislature consulted the dignity OF Indiana
building in the year 1871. To give the voters
ofthis ate a clear and reliable idea of Su-
preme Court expenses for the past ten years,
we have gone patiently through the records
and vouchers. Accounts were never intelligt-
bly kept under this head till the year 1871, as
will appear conclusively. To illustrate this
take the fiscal year of 1865, from November ],
1867, TO November ], ls5S. According 10 the

WHAT DOES THIS INCLUDE?

Not counting the salaries OF the Judges, which
have always been placed under the judiciary
Iund, it includes simply the clerks and sher-
III 5 expenses. Every entry in the above re-
cord pertains directly to that department.
Was that al spent by the supreme bench in
this year? Letno sensible voter lay that fat
tering JUNCTION 10 his SOU. Some able mathe-
matician, who deserves canonizing by the Re-
pnbiicsn party, hal devised means OF graft
fyisg the supreme judges without COM
promistng them on the record. The
invention consisted of an Ark of Safety
KIN ,wn as General Fund. Like the original
ARK, it was built of broad beam, could carry
uolimiIed freight OF every description, and
breasted the political floods In style. Now
that the simmeIing down process has COM
menced, the voters OF the state will see the
waters of abuse and Misrepresentation sub
siding under Investigation, and can observe
this General Fund ark of safety perched up in
plain view on Ararat. The picture wi tx-
plain the infinite mercy of Divine
Providence in bringing about a Demo-
cratic reform. For instance, by consulting
this fiscal year of 1868, we find bills charged TO
the supreme court, approved by the presiding
justice and paid n d.. out OF the general fund,
that We , alone OF 1922 80. This year will re-

to illustrate he fact which lies at the very

sppeats under thathead on the books, IL was
1he voters OF the state, who compose
The jury in this case, must see and
grasp the full force Of this statement, for 1T
constitutes an important element in The re-
ply. The Journal has, made political capital
out OF the insane and rasca1y methed OF
keeping accounts first resorted 10 by Republic
can officials and continued in order to hide
corruption. This method once understood,
the keystone of the argument is gone and the
whole structure OF abuse ana misrepresenta-
ton falls TO the groun-1.
THE INITIAL LIE.
Now, taking advantage Of this old crooked
ness In accounts, the Journal says: "The ex-
penses Of the first five years OF the court pre-
ceeding the present bench amounted to sl7,-
IA 81" These figures are wrong from the
Journals own false standpoint OF calculation
Not one authentic entry is given; nothing 10

II the Jourpal is true TO its own rules of srith-
