which they give to all admirers Of the

maui, features, which speak 30 plainly
the great mind, elevated feeling, and gem

WAYS AND RUMORS.

1t was Hoh"e The English phil
oSopher, we believe, Who made the
startling statement that war Is the
natural condition of mankind.'-
The history of all peoples since the
dispersion at Babel, would seem to
rive his assertion the sanction of
experience, at least, and even ante
that memorable event, the
and rapid succession OF war"
among mankind, can be traced from
the death of Abel. Since Christi
anitv has unfolded itself and, step
by step, carried its doctrinds and
It's civilization over one halt OF the
world, most Of tho wars have been
religious wars, or in some way com
plicatcd with religious beliefs, eth
cr among Christians themselves or
betwccn Christianity and its antag-
oniziug creedS. 1t is strange that
the religion OF Christ, the religion
of Peace, Of good will to mcn, Il re.
ligion whose end is the end Of war
and the conservation of a universe
to peace should wade thro' blood
to the millennium, yet it has carved
the history of its triumphs with the
sword, and proclaimed its dogmas
through the thunder OF its cannon.
The Crusadcs were the result of az.
gressive Christianity; the thirty
years war, when the Swedc GuSta-
vus carried the banner of Protest.
antism to the very center Of the do
minions Of Ferdinand Of Austria,
was Il war of one form Of Christi.
anity waged against another. The
great civil war of England owed
most Of lis virulencc to religious
Zeal and ianaticism. The Puritan
Cromwell seemed to be Uctuatcd
more by religious zeal than pcrso-
nal ambition-he was, in fact, the
incarnation of q creed that tOlera-
ted no other system of belief. In
our own nineteenth century, the
Franco. Russian war had its reIigi.
OUs aspects, and, as ono OF its Ic.
suits, BiNmark announced and car.
ried out his ~reprcssivc policy IL
gajnst the Roman Church. The
present war, which threatens to in.
volve the whole of Europe origina-
ted from real or supposed oppres-
sions OF members of tho Greek
Church, by tho followers Of the
Crescent.
From all this it seems evident
that the Gospel of Peace is ages and
ages behind the tuIfllment Of its
mission. We know not what
thrones may be shaken, what dy-
nastios overthrown, what creeds
are to thrown off in the long strug.
giles that will succeed each other
for centuries to come. The prob.
lem OF Christianity, and its uIti.
mate triumph, is too distant from
its solution, for us to question the
means by which an Ommiscient
Power is guiding its destiny.

MayOr'S court,

On Fri'jay there were two cases
against prominent merchants for
selling liquors in quantities of one
gallon aud over, contrary to an or.
dinar Q Of the Town. The cases
were ably argued for four hours by
Mr.. DiSnukcS for defendants, and
Mr.. JNnagin, sr., for the Town.
For defendants, it was contend
ed that, first, it could not be made
a criminal offence, but that suit for
the privilege tax of S25, ought to
have been brought before a Justice
Of the Peace. Second, that the
town had no authority to pass the
ordinance. Both points were re.
solved against the defendants and
each fined $50.

SPASMODlC REFOMRS.

Man is a singular animal. In his
individual aggregate capacity, he
is ever seeking to change or i'm
prove some condition of his being.
IN nothing is this restless craving
after change, moro demcnstrative
tl.an what are mdiScriminatoly
called reforms. 1t manifests itself
in all tie phases of existence, and
seeks alike to modify or reverse
his habits, to improve or change
his social customs, to substitute
new ideas for old ones, and some
times to resurrcct the old to replace
the new. The world is a huge ka.
lcldoScopc, and every revolution
brings its changes. We have reIig-
Gus revivals, temperance reforms,
new scientific theories, systems Of
national polity, the rise, cuImina-
ton ami fall of principalitics and
powers. All these run their conrs-
es like diseases, some of them
through centuries, others accom-
plish their missions in n %revolu-
ton Of the earth around the sun.
10 what iral end all these manip-
lations are directed, is perhaps
wisely concealed from US and no
one can unravel the mystery that
shrcuds the purposes OF that power,
which will consnmmate all things
when worlds like riponcd fruit
shall fall from the withered stalk
of time.
