THEOLOGY,


Won are going to lose all thinking men.
They are going to DRIFT away from the
church, and leave it TO conyentionalittes
and shams. It has been the labor Of my
mind to give expression TO all ideas that
would give 10 all denominations an ex-
preston OF universal consciousness OF
mind, 80; whatever my preference may be
for this creed or that creed, that tunda,.
mental relations OF man TO God would
stand without any hindrance by any
change, or changes OF form or statements.
There is a change going on in regard to
the subject OF future punishment; not that
the p~unRhment is stricken out, but the
kind Of retribution and the powers of ret
ribution. Ibelieye that men are getting
more and more to believe that suffering

A French Story of the Crimea.

The story has been revived in Paris;
of course the ridiculous hero is an Eng
lishman. He was madly in love with
Scotch vivandiere at BalaklaYa, and
bored her with his addresses. The young
lady, no longer able to endure the annoy
ance, forbade him the door. After many
a vain attempt to overrule the objec-
tions, the tourist determined to commit
suicide, but, in presence of the great
events which were being played out, in
no paltry manner. Having first be-
queathed his fortune to the vivandiere,
he caused big hole to be dug in which
he placed twenty pounds of fpowder over
this excavation slab was laid, and upon
it the rejected one, cigar in mouth, took
his seat. He TRANQUILITY finished his
weed, which was no doubt a good one
and not easily parted with, and then
applied the expiring embers to the mag
azine below. "L'erplosion cut ieu," and
two minutes later charred mass descen-
ding from the heavens fell into the port,
a mass which the astonished British sea-
men recognized as human body, and
proceeded to fish from the water. There
was cry of "a man from heavenw
Some declared that he had been kicked
out Of the sun, and others that he was
an aeronaut come to grief. However,
the man, whoever he was, came round,
and the viyandiere, touched by this
proof of affection, capitulated. The
blowing up is not so extraordinary as
some may fancy, for Captain Permiel
was blown up with his battery and found
sitting five hundred yards of, wondering
what the deuce had happened, and not il
the least hurt.

JOSEPH COOKS HIS BRETHREN.
Boston Journal.l

Rev. Joseph Cook has been lecturing
in Montreal on what he is pleased to call
ultimate America" and a consider
able portion of his lecture, judging from
the report of it contained in the Mon
treal Witness, was devoted to villifying
the country which gave him birth and
the people with whom he claims kim
ship. Proceeding, possibly, on St. Paul's
principle of being call things to all
men" he seems to have conceived it his
duty, standing on British soil and speak
ing to English born hearers, to be more
English than the English in his treat
ment of America. Speaking of Ameri-
can society and politics, he said, accord
ing to the Witness's report:
"Every great Senator in the United
States was a gift enterprise Caughter),
and it seemed as though some of their
members of Congress were born with a

highly complimented England on the

ENeLAND's- -R1eHTFuL KING.
Boston Pilot.I


1t is curious fact, and one that is
not generally known, that King Victor
Emanuel was by the strict law of sue
cession, the rightful king of England.
He was decended in direct line from
Charles /. The youngest daughter of
that unhappy monarch, the Princess
Henrietta Maria, married CASTOR dor
leans, the brother of Louis XIV.
She died, leaving two daughters. The
eldest became queen of Spain, and died
childless. The younger married the
heir to the house of Savoy, and was the
ancestress of the late King Of Italy.
After the revolution of 1888, when the
right to succession to the British throne
was settled by act of Parliament, the
house of Savoy was excluded on account
of the Catholic religion professed by its
members. The house of Hanover, of
which Queen Victoria IS the represent
ative, was several removes farther from
the direct succession, deriving, as it did
its claims from james I, through Queen
Elizabeth of Bohemia, and her daughter,
Electress Sophia. A striking commentary
on the consequences of human actions is
afforded by this story of a royal inner
itance. When Charles I espoused a
Catholic princess he would scarcely have
imagined that by this act he was ex-
cluding his direct descendants from the
throne of their fathers; and still less
could his queen have foreseen that any
descendant of her favorite child, so care.
fully trained by her in the tenets of heI
own religion, should ever overthrow the
temporal power of the Pope, and be him.
self installed upon the throne.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-04-18

This commingled abuse of America
and eulogy of England were calculated
to please such an audience as Mr.. Cook
addressed, and the rapturous applause
and laughter which followed these sem
jtiments were quite matter of course.
But when Mr.. Cook, from the platform
in Montreal. declared that " every great
Senator in the United States was a gift
enterprise" and represented the entire
American people as daily praying for
a blessing upon slim, shoddy and lying
work, he said what he knew to be false,
and libeled his country in way that
any patriotic American would have
scorned. There was once Cretan ora
tor, it will be remembered, who declared
that all Cretans were liars. Being him
self a Cretan, the statement has occa-
stoned much controversy, because if it
were true he was himself a liar, and
whatever he said could not be accepted.
The parallel holds quite closely with
Mr.. Cook. If Americans are given to
shoddy and meudacity, be it remem-
bered that Mr.. Cook is an American.
In the long run, veracity, even in a lee
turer, is more valuable quality than
smartness.

SLEEP,
Bloomington (Ill.) Eye.l

lbloom1ngton llil.) Eye.l
Very few persons have any idea how
much sound, restful, blissful sleep has
to do with health and longevity. The
roses pail on many maiden's cheek, the
wrinkles deepen on many a matron's
brow, the life-blood of many strong
man lessons, his muscles weaken, and his
brain becomes incapable of planning
and devising, because they do not sleep
enough, and at those hours when it is
most beneficial.
The beauty-s!eep" of the last gener-
alton was supposed to be gained before
twelve o'clock or midnight, and it was
also called the .golden Sleep But
now the merchant pores over his ledger
and balances his accountbook long
after the brain should have been gath
ering strength for the morrow's work in
healthful sleep. The student wastes
time, strength and vitality by night
work. The seamstress sews far into the
morning hours, the bright light of the
lamp reflected on the polished top of
her sewing machine, one consequence of
which is the early failure of her eye
sight, which demands glasses years before
it should. The housewife protracts her
task into the small hours, and, finally,
when the couch is sought, slumber comes
only in fitful snatches, interspersed with
wild vagaries of the brain. or else it is so
profound that instead of being refreshed
by it, they all awake in state of ex-
treme exhaustion.
But worse than this is the fashionable
folly that turns night into day for
amusement sake. Instead of repairing
to places of entertainment..at half-six or
seven O'Clock, and returning at ten or
eleven, we do not 60 until the last
named hour, and the festivities are pro-
longed far beyond the season of possible
enjoyment. Night after night this is
kept up, when it swell known that it is
robbing all who participate in it of
health, strength, vitality and life.
1t is bad enough for adults to continue
so pernicious practice, but to carry it
into the ranks of children is sheer mad
ness. Parties for the little ones can now
begin only an hour or two earlier than
their elders attend, and instead of
healthful games and wholesome goodies,
they whir1 about in the giddy dance, re-
peat the love scenes their elders enact,
and are feasted on ices and champagne.
What the next generation will be if
such things continue in favor is an inn
portant question.

To COnsumptives.

A physician makes the following sug-
gestion to those liable to consumption:
A particular kind of exercise is to be re-
commended for those whose chests are
narrow, whose shoulders stoop, and who
have a hereditary predisposition to con-
sumption. If it is systematically pracs
ticed along with other means of health,
it is safeguard against the invasion of
this disease. 1t is voluntary inspiration.
Nothing is more simple. Stand erect,
throw the shoulders back, and the hands
behind; then inhale pure air to the full
capacity of the lungs, and retain it a
few seconds by an increased effort; then
it may be slowly exhaled. After one or
two natural inspirations, let the act be
repeated, and so on for ten or fifteen
minutes, twice daily. Not only is this
simple procedure a safeguard against
consumption, but, in the opinion of
some learned physicians, it can even
cure it when it has already commenced.

Grains of Gold.

He who surpasses or subdues mankind
must look down on the hate of those be-
low.
Life becomes useless and insipid when
we have no longer either friends or
enemies.
Dignity is expensive, and without
other good qualities is not particularly
profitable.
We must never remember the benefits
we have conferred, nor forget the favors
received.
An able man shows his spirit by gentle
words and resolute actions; his is neither
hot nor timid.
Cities force growth, and make men
talkative and entertaining, but they also
make them artificial.
You had better learn to conquer your
own will than strive to obtain the mas
terry of that of others.
Friendship is the medicine for all mis-
fortunes, but ingratitude dries up the
fountain of all goodness.
Make no more VOWS to perform this or
that; it shows no great strength, and
makes thee ride behind thyself..
We every day sacrifice principles
which we esteem through fear of being
blamed by people whom we despise.
Man wastes his mornings in anticipat-
ing his afternoons, and wastes his after
moons in regretting his mornings.
Never plead guilty to poverty. So
far as this world is concerned, you
might better admit that you are q
villain.
Jealous men are ever displaying to you
the strength of their belief, while
judicious men are showing you the
grounds of it.
1t is curious that some learned ounces,
because they can write nonsense in
dead languages, think themselves better
than men who can talk sense in living
ones.
1t is the vice of the unlearned to sup
pose that the knowledge of books is Of
no account, and the vice of scholars te
think there is no other knowledge worth
having.
