W. mint tbis morning a portion of Mr.. Ingersolps
reply TO the structures of The New- YORK OoSeTre'
upon Thomas Pane. Mr.. lngersol undertakes 10
show that Paine died the calm and placin death Oh
nhi,osonbcr. that he did not die poor; that he did
not recant his theological views. and that upon all
these points he has been grossly misrepresented'
The case is certainly a curious one. We should nave
supposed that if anything was fairly proved by CO.
temporaneous evidence. it was Palnes cObhrmeu
habit of drinking too much. There must nave Deeh
some foundation for the charges ot excess WHICH, III
a time when there was hardly any such thlhg aS
total abstinence were constantly made against this
man, not only in America but in England " hc,nei
he died door OF rich. does not appear to us to be
matter of much Importance. Whether he recahteu
his theological opinions before his death may be a
ouestion of more CONSEQUENCE or rather it would be,
if the wanderings of a sick mans mind were really
evidence at all We are inclined to think that he
died IA he lived a Deist of the French school,
with some modified belief in God and future state
and with little or no belief IN Christ as Divine
teacher He was at the best, narrow thinker
without scholarship. and not much more than dex-
ferrous dsputer. If he were living in these days OF
what is called religious liberalism, his Writings on
that subject would hardly attract any attention az
all. Men now. who believe even less than lie ulu
are much aggrieved If they are refused the name Oh
Christians. His method of dealing with religious
problems has long been obsolete, and was very
moor method at the best. We would not willingly do
Injustice to any man, but we cannot help thinking
that too much Importance has been attached TO
Paine's belief and to the facts and fctions OF his
various biographies. Neither as politician nor as
philosopher was he first rate, or anything Ike H.
He wrote smart pamphlet at lucky tlme' Tor
which we ought to be much Obliged to him but as
to most matters, what he thought or did not THINK
is of no moment whatever.

The story CT the third wife of John w.
Young, told elsewhere, is romance that has
ended. as ought to have been apparent from
tho first. in misery and dishOnOr. It's nara

people with the sO-cailed religious system, of
which a vulgar and filthy Prophet, and his
still more vulgar and filthy son, are fit repre-

~ ~ Editor ID a. Ha,cniinn Gn.elfe !:

To rhe Editor of the Hapuiiaa Gosehe:
sHa.-I would suggest that the following change
be made in the Sunday law:
Section 2.-Sunday is declared to be legal holt
day. No person whether working By contract or
otherwise shall be compelled to do any kind of
secular work or labor on that day, but no person
shall be subject to fine or Imprisonment who shall
keep open his shop, store, warehouse, or workshop
that day, and person shall be prohibited from
carrying on his usual business, labor or work, or
attending any dancing, public amusement show or
entertainment, or taking part in any game, sport
or play on Sunday.
In fine, large proportion Of the intelligent popu-
laiIon of the Hawaiian Islands demand that all
laws directly Indirectly enforcing The observance
OF Sunday as the Sabbath shall be repealed. So
far AS the so-called Lords day is concerned. We
have to believe that the Creator prefers
one day to another. Sunday is useful day of
rest recreation, and the best way is let every
person spend il us he she thinks proper. Let
those 20 to church who want to- and let the rule
be " Hands off and mind your own business ~
