This song, although it was warmly ap-
plauded, did not bring ont the choral tai
ent Of the company to any great extent; it
was evidently unfamiliar. But it was quite
otherwise with another English song, or at
least "A song in the English language, sung
by the usliest farmer lad ever looked
upon-a huge, red-facod, lrank-looking
boy of eighteen or twenty,-with rousing
vigor that was really exciting. This was
the chorus, first sung in solo by the farmer
lad:

Worshipping Culture.

Culture, culture-it is little god
with thousand OF young people, who
fail to see its essential selfshness.
There is q word dilettante, which has
come to us from the Italian, which
expresses just little Of the weakness
OF culture when pursued as an end. 1t
suggests that purposelessness Of cul-
ture which distinguishes it from the
intensity Of a manly character
that works for an end. A manly
man cannot help feeling healthy
contempt for lite which ends only in
its own amusement and pleasure, no
matter how refined that amusement
may he. Cultivation for the sake
OF culture, sunlight for the sake of
sunshine, polishing for the sake Of
polish-there is something empty
and contemplate in every thought
of such life. Culture is good, is
beautiful but culture for cultures
sake, we say, is contemptible-con-
temptlble because it is utterly selfish,
and, therefore, unworthy. The grand
men in the world have been the
men who have taken hold of other
men and lifted them, insted of lifting
at their own boot-straps. No mans
name goes down to the ages as
name of enthusiasm and power who
has not in him a tremendous will to
accomplish something great and good
outside of himself. This is the very
essence OF Christianity, which is god
illness. "My father worketh hitherto,
and l work" There is the example
of God and Christ, and the grand
bidding to the disciples is: "Work
while the day lasts" He went about
doing good,' is che record of the
Master, and $50 work to day in my
vineyard" is his command. The very
beauty and gloss of culture isits danger
and weakness. The intellectual dandy
who stands everlastingly before the
mirror of his own mind. to admire
his own beauty, is apt to get tired of
polishing and standing, and too often
into lazy, lackadaisical,
good. form nothing shirk. How many
such we see.

Newspaper Business.

An exchange says: We suppose
many people think that the news
payer men are persistent duns let a
tarmer place himself in similar
business position and see if he would
not do the same. Suppose he raised
one thousand bushels of wheat, and
his neighbor should come and buy q
bushel, and the price was only small
matter of two dollars or less, and the
neighbor says, 81 will hand you the
amount in few days" AS the farm.
er did not want to be small about the
matter, he says all right, and the man
leaves with the wheat. Another comes
in the same way until the whole one
thousand bushels of wheat are trusted
out to one thousand differ ent persons,
and not one of the purchasers con-
Germs himself about it, for it is a small
amount that he owes the farmer, and
OF course that would not help him
any. He does not realize that the
farmer has fritted away all his large
crop Of wheat, and that its value is
dde him in a thousand little driblets,
and that he is seriously embarrassed
in his business because his debtors
treat it as small matter. But if all
would pay him promptly, which they
could do as well as not, it wonld be
very large amount TO the farmer, and
enable him 10 carry oil his business
without difficulty The above COM
parison is too true of the difficulties
that the newspaper man has to con.
tend with.

"OLpTIME SUPPHRs"-CoL John w &.
Forney's Progress, under this head,
| furnishes very interesting article in
which the bill of fare and cost of the
sold time suppers" of the Wistar Club
| are given. 1t says: The Saturday Club
dates back for more than half a century ;
| il is revival of the old "Wistar parties,
which arose in 1878, after the death OF
DR.. Casper Wl~ar, the eminent professor
and philanthropist. His receptions were
every Saturday night, and were largely
attended by men of learning. He was
born in 1861, read medicine in London,
and graduated in Edinburgh; and his
career IN Philadelphia was very dis
tingrished. His companions resolved to
meet weekly after his death, and their
club was called the Wistar parties, at
first confined TO twelve afttrward eX-
tended to rwenty-four, to which others
were invited, until as many a. hundred
met at times. Wistar parties continued
tll just before tue war, when they fell
OF, and gave way within few years to
the present Saturday, NightClub. When
the Wistar parties b, gau, Philadelphia
was the chief city in the United States.
Her society and science, her artists and
inventors, her medical colleges were con
frSsedly tue best, Boston only aspiring to
be her rival DR.. Wistar knew Wash
lngtOn AMI his associates, and also Ben
ianin Fraukl n, David Ritt-nhou~e aud
Robert Fulton. AID the parties called af-
ter linn were the social gatherings at
which the fathers of the Binurys, lngcr.

waladcrs, Hudlrs, and Carreys met and
mingled They were the creme Ia creme
of tue period of jefferson, Monroe,

The n. Y. Sun very justly remarks
that if the people would only bear in
mind that all governmental expenses
come out Of their own pockets, and that
when these expenses are heavy they be-
come proportionately burdensome and
oppressive, there would soon be less tole-
ration OF governmental extravagance.-
Indeed, we should have less government,
and that seems to be the only practical
way of getting rid Of governmental ex-
travagance. For whatever the Govern
ment does is done at an enormous disad-
vantage. 1t appears to be impossible for
the Government to get work done with
out its costing very much more than the
same work could be done for by an indi-
vidual. Sometimes the cost is twice as
much sometimes it is more than that.

The MoFFETT PUNCH.-There are
two opinions about the Mcflett puncn in
Virginia. We copy the following from
the Petersburg Post: "During the fif-
teen months in which the Moflctt punch
bill has been in operation in Richmond
the Dispatch states the result of it as
follows: Number of alcoholic drinks
registered l,S97 ,2O5, with tax on same
S4j, $50 73 number of malt drinks B.
093.52, with tax on same $40, ,469.s9.
Total tax on both $j5, $50 10. The
largest sales in this time were in October
1877, the second month of its operations
and the smallest sales were in September
last. The law is a great failure, source
of fraud and annoyance, and should be
abolished.'

DECEM BER 1873

IT SEEMS NOW that the war was moi
so much for the negro's freedom as to Sc
cure his vote for the Republican party fol
all time. As that party has lost the ne
gro vote for the last year or two with lit
tie prospect of securing it again in the
South without war, the party leaders
propose to wage another war. We hope
they will not be accommodated in this
matter, as the effects of one war for the
negro has proved about as disastrous as
the laboring people are able to stand.

So that the saving on this important
item Of city expenditures may be made
to reach about $4,000. There is no
wonder that gas stocks are so valuable
in all parts of the country when com
mittee of City Council can make such
snug contracts whereby the gas compa-
MES may get such fat jobs, especia ly so
if the wife or daughter of committee
man happens to hold large lot Of gas
stock. We make no allu.ions to our
own city. But such things has been as
serted in other places.
