In comparing the grounds for fearing
death in ancient and in modern times, it
may be said roughly that the physical
terrors Of death are constant, while the
neral terrors are variable. Not, indeed,
That the mere physical terrors have been,
strictly speaking, unchanged. For it is
probable that the ancients, being used TO
hardship and suffering, were less sensi-
tive To the sting Of death than we are.
On the other hand, it IS certain that the
progress of medicine, including the use
of anethetics, has done something
towards extracting that sting, and viii
IN time do much more No doubt, our
medical improvements often increase the
Immediate fear OF death which Is felt by
the dying; if the dying suffered more,
their minds would be distracted, and
they would shrink less from the finally
relief. But, at any rate, those medical
Improvements tend to mitigate the APP

COOP AND BAD FIcTIoN.-On the

suggestion in brief paragraph in the
Nation, that some distinctive classifica-
tion is necessary between good and bad
fiction. There are good novels which
justify all the most erger defenses which

serve nearly all the unqualified structures
of the anti-fctioH novelist. So there are

son, who l had informed him was
Just dying, and that through the in
fuence Of strong drink. "Gone to

father, whose heart was like to
break for the poor, lost child.
"Come and see him." l said. The

his dying boy, he asked him how
he had been brought to this. The
son replied that it was his father
who was the cause of his ruin. He

will tell you. The father had
been accustomed to have liquor on
the dinner table; and when friends
called on him, he would give them
some, aud take some of it himself.
He had also thought that his lite
son might take a little without any
harm.
His child had been in the habit of
taking the little drops that were
left in the bottom of the glasses, es
pecially when good deal of sugar
had been put in it; and by.and-by,
when he became a young lad, he
sought some of it himself, and the
desire continuing, he had at last
sought after it when he cared for
nothing else. He had thus become
a drunkard while quite young; and
when it was too late, he told his
father the real cause of his ruin.

A Great National Work.

IKE Centennial History of the United
States, from the discovery Of the Anaeri-
cam Continent to the close Of the First
Century Of american Independence, By
James D, MoCabe, author Of "a Man.
ual Of General History" "1he Great
Republic" Etc, Etc.
There has long been great and uni
versally-felt want of history of the
United States suitable for general use.
This want is now being supplied by The
National Publishing Co., of Philadelphia,
who have issued handsome volume,
styled "The Centennial History of the
United States" by James d. McCabe, a
well-known historical writer. This work
will, undoubtedly, take rank as the STAN
dard history of the United States. 1t is
no dry mass of details-no bombastic
effort to inhame the national pride, but
is clear, vivid and brilliant narrative of
the events of our history, from the dis
covery of the American Continent down
to the present time. 1t traces the evil
dences of that mysterious race. the first
occupants of our country, and gives Il
most interesting account of the Indians
of North America, from the time of the
coming of the white men. The voyages
of Columbus, the explorations of the
different nations of Europe and the final
occupation and conquest of the land by
England, are told with graphic power.
Every step of our colonial history is
traced with patient fidelity, and the
sources of noble, and we trust, enduring
institutions which have made our coun-
try free and great, are shown with re-
markable clearnesS. The causes of our
great struggle for Independence are told
with logical force and ability unsurpass-
ed in any work of the day. Then fol-
lows clear and succinct account of the
formation of the Federal Constitution
the establishment of the Union; the
course of affairs until the breaking out
of the Second War with England; and
a full and comprehensive account of that
War and its results. The events of our
career from the close of that contest to
the commencement of the Civil War, fol-
low in their order. The history of the
Civil War is related with intense vigor,
and with strict fidelity to truth. The
author pleads the cause of no party or
section. He states facts, points out the
lessons which they teach, and appealing
to neither passion nor political feeling,
trusts to the good sense of his country
men to sustain his views, The book
an Appendix, giving an account
Of the approaching Centennial Exhibi-
ion.
1t is comprised in one large, handsome
,ctavo volume of 925 pages, and con-
aims 442 fine engravings on steel and
wood of historical personages and scenes.
The price is so low that all can afford to
purchase a copy, and each subscriber is
presented with superb photographic
of the Centennial Exhibition
Buildings and Grounds. 1t is sold by
only, and the publishers
want agents in every county. y
