PIETY AND RELIGION.
IF Hood had written the lines

IL 1AOOu Adu Within WV AAAS'
'.Alas 1.-The rarity
OF Christian charity
Under the sum-"
in our day and in this peculiar latitude,
he would undoubtedly have been
pronounced rank infdel by few con-
ceited bigots, who ale unable to distin-
guish the difference between piety and
religion. In former issue we defined
our idea of piety to be reverence and
love for the Supreme Being, the out
ward manifestation Of which was visible
in the acts of the individual towards
his fellow man; disposition to make
others happy. We still think the posi-
ton was in accordance with reason and
common sense. We hold that religion
is by no means Il synonymous term;
that it is applied to any form or creed,
and comprehends the belief OF the
pagans as well as the creed of the fol-
lowers of Messiah. An individual may
set up an idol, and its worship consti-
tutes his religion, or, he may, through
physical ailments, develcpe an abnor-
NAL condition of mind, constituting
hypochondria, and imagine himself bet
ter than his fellow man, when he does
not possess a single pious impulse.
We believe this position likewise i'm
pregnable, and in its support have only
to refer to the examples afforded on ev-
cry hand by those who profess religion
without manifesting any of its elevat-
ing or sanctifying power. What better
is he than the Pharisees, who while OBJ
serving all church forms endeavors to
pull down the reputation of his fellow
man; to traduce his character, to mag
Nifty his errors, to engender and keep
alive dessentions and strife, to arouse
the evil nature of those who have just
as much right to their own belief-re-
ligion-as these self-constituted CEN
sors? True piety is the author of no
such prompting; it delights in sunshine
and happiness; it thrives on the power
of divine love, in making others happy,
in Tightening the burdens which at times
harrass and Cypress, in the pardon
of error and a steadfast endeavor to
elevate the character of all Gods crea-
lures by kindness and sympathy. Pie
ty lives in the heart, and animates and
controls the human being; while re-
ligion may be but skin-deep, and exer-
else only partial influence over the
bones, sinews and flesh.
In the expression of these views no sim
cere believer need take offense. The coat
need not be donned unless it fits. The
most devout ritualist can find nothing
to condemn. if his practices conform to
precepts; and if they do not, he alone
is to blame. He must work out his
own salvation and cross the dark river
alone. Churches and creeds will not
sSRe him, if his own heart has not been
right. The cloak of hypocrisy will be
washed away by the tide, and the evil
as well as the good will be exposed to
the sunlight of eternal day.

THE QUALITY OF WOOL.

While our local market for wool re-
mains in its present condition, and little
or no attention is paid to quality of
the fleece, we do not expect to elicit
much interest on a subject of vital i'm
portance soon as the business attains
proportions that requires an establish
ment of grades and the regulation of
prices to accord with the quality of the
article produced. All reliable authori-
ties assert that the degree of fneness OF
wool is owing mainly to the condition
of the animal during the formation OF
the fleece. If they are constantly sup
piled with proper food and adequate
shelter in Indictment seasons, the fibre
will be even as regards softness, length,
density and firmness. The quality of
wool sometimes becomes deteriorated
from hereditary faint, contracted from
abuse. and the animal is with more
difficulty restored to proper condition
than if the low grade is owing to tenn
porary neglect; but management gen
orally has more to do with it than de-
scent. The experienced wool.dealer
has no difficulty in determining the pre-
else grade of each lot, and however
clean and fine the wool may be in other
respects. if the fibre is uneven, the
price is regulated accordingly. In pro-
cess of manufacture, the difference in
favor of the finer grades more than
counterbalances the additional cost.
In view of the fact that as tue bust
ness will in time become one of the
leading resources of the Territory, it is
desirable that some attention be direct
ed towards securing those conditions
which will enable our weol-growers to
compete with experienced stockmen in
older districts. It cannot be too firmly
impressed upon the mind that to achieve
adequate results proper care and atten-
ton is required in every detail of the
business. Neglect is attended with
precisely the results as disregard of
any other operations of the husband
man.
A practical wool-buyer gives the fol-
lowing description of the way in
which an expert examines a fleece:
"Always assuming that the wool to be
inspected is really fine wool, We first
examine the shoulder at the part where
