one has them. 1t only gratifies a
momentary spite to force your own
unfavorable opinion of him, deep
into another's mind. 1t never did
any good. All! if this world, full
of ugly people and awkward peo-
pie, of silly people and vain people,
knew their own deficiencies, what
a sitting in sackcloth and ashes we
would have. The greatest of all
things that man can possess is a
satisfactory identity. If that
which he calls pleases him, it is
well with him; otherwise, he is
perfectly wretched. Let your fell
low beings alone; hold no truthful
mirror before their eyes, unless
a pure intention to uproot sin. So
may a mirror without flaw never
be prepared for you.

Competitive Examinations.

Above all things, says Professor
Huxley, in Popular Science Month
ly, let my imaginary pupil have
preserved the freshness and vigol
of youth in his mind as well as his
body. The educational abomina-
ton of desolation of the present
day is the stimulation of young
people to work at high pressure 10y
incessant competitive examina-
tions. Some wise man (who pro-
badly was not an early riser) has
said of early. iisers, that they are
conceited all the forenoon and stu
pid all the afternoon. Now, wheth-
er this is true of early risers in the
common acceptance of the word
or not, | will not pretend to say /;
bnt it is too often true of the un-
happy children who are forced to
rise too early in their classes.--
They are conceited all the fore
noon of life, and stupid all its af-
ternoon. The vigor and freshness,
which should have been stored for
the purposes of the hard struggle
for existance in practical life, have
been washed out of them by pre-
cocious mental debauchery-by
book gluttony and lesson bibbing.
Their faculties are worn ont Ivy the
strain put upon their callow brains,
and they are demoralized by worth
less, childish triumphs before the
real work of life begins. / have
no compassion for sloth. hut youth
has more need for intellectual rest
than age; and the cheerfulness, the
tenacity of purpose, the power of
work, which make many a success
fnl man what he is, must often be
placed to the credit, not Of his
honrs of industry. but to idleness,
in his boyhood. Even the hardest
worker of us all, if he has to deal
with anything above mere details,
will do well. now and again, to let
his brain lie fallow for space
The next crop of thought will he
all the fuller in the ear and the
weeds fewer.

The japanese Hadcs.

A curious article recently i'm
ported from japan is scarf Of
gray Canton Grape, which portrays
the internal regions according to
the japanese idea. The scarf is
nine yards long and half a yard
wide. The first scene represents
Satan on earth seeking new We
tins. The arch fiend appears as a
sulphuric, yellowish green demon,
with protruding horns, cloven feet
and demoniacal expression, Turing
his victims to his net and plunging
them into fiery depths. They ap.
pear to fall into nest of burning
scorpions, where they are tantal-
lied by a glimpse of their friends
enjoying themselves in n lake OF
cold water. In the next scene,
Satan takes the form Of an i'm
mense dragon, with his human vic-
tins crouching in terror at his feet.
They are mercilessly dragged into
court, and the Judge is represent
ed as condemniDg them to be tied
TO rocks and to have red-hot lead
poured down their throats. They
are then chased by hyenas through
q field of open knives and other
sharp instruments. The victims
are next portrayed as being tor
tured by having their limbs saved
off and by being thrown into re-
volving wheel of fire. Satan next
appears to be looking out for new
victims of the field Of battle
Some of these victims are made to
hug red-hot stove pipes, while Sa-
tan himself, with smile is fan
ming them. Others are swimming
in seas OF blood, surrounded by
laughing demons. Others still are
seated in cauldrons Of red-hot sui
phur, having their tongues pulled
out. Some are represented rs car
rying heavy burdens Of coal and
throwing IL on the fire to burn new
victims. His Satanic Majesty is
next represented as feeding his
subjects with rice, presumably to
give them strength with which to
endure greater tortures.

BOLD RoBBERY.-A desperate assault was
made upon Mr.. Joseph johnson of Hart
land, in his own house last Monday evening
At about eight o'clock in the evening as Mr.. J.
was engaged about some writing, he heard a
slight noise in the room adjoining, and got up
to see what was the cause of it. AS he entered
the room, he had just time to see the form of
a man, before he received blow upon the
forehead which caused him to fall, and then
saw the man draw knife with which he struck
him on the arm. The robber then secured some
$3.50 in money ard the injured mans watch
and made his escape. Mrs. johnson, who had
been up stairs while the affray was taking
place, came down and found her husband lying
on the floor in a senseless condition, and i'm
mediately began to apply restoratives which
soon revived him. A large stone was also
found on the floor. which bad evidently been
used in striking the first blow. Mr.. johnson
received a severe cut on the forehead and an
other on the arm, but the wounds are not con-
sidered dangerous. A large portion of the
money belonged to his wife's sister, and it is
supposed that the deed was committed by
some one who knew the money was in the
house. No clue as yet to the robber.
