THE OLD ADAM WITHIN Us.

Through century upon century Of civil
ization men have been struggling TO sup
press their barbarous inclinations, and
yet it must be confessed that their efforts
have not proved altogether successful,
as in many respects they are still but
little better than savages.
A dog fight in an alley will readily at
tract much more eager and interested
audience than street preacher could
possibly gather with all his persuasive
Bloquence. A brace of prize-tighters can
absorb the attention of the whole coun-
Try, while all the particulars Of their
brutal engagement will be flashed over
the wires to every point, and be much
more anxiously sought for by all classes
than the reports from an educational
convention or areligious conference.
Wickedness and crime form the theme
Of nearly all our gossip, and men de-
Vour with perfect greediness all the
Dickening details OF a decd of blood.
Indeed, a strict adherence to the truth
are nothing more than educated barbar-
ians, whose savage instincts will fire..
luently crop out upon the slightest en-.
eouragement. There is not, perhaps, a
boy in all the land who has not taken an
Interest, intense and all-absorbing, in a
closely contested encounter between q
serrier and rat. There is not man
among us, country born and bred, who
has not at times felt the barbarian blood
boiling In his veins as he gaZed in rap.

tween two game-cocks in his native
barnyard. 1t is the Old Adam within
us, and ages of the civilizing influences
of education and religion may serve te
eradicate it entirely, but the time is moi
yet.
While most men find it possible e
ponquer these savage impulses, and hole
them in subjection, there is class
ramiliarly known as the sporting frater
nifty, the members of which make NJ
yery strenuous efforts in this direction
and who even show little evidence o
gratitude toward the law, which ha
come to their assistance. These ar

prohibited by law, and who take upol
themselves all the risks of arrest, I'm

'IJi is, however, being succeeded by a

Of this character have occurred quite
