Odin hung, wounded and suffering, and the sev:
era1 hammer symbols Of Thor, easily became
confused with the symbol OF the new religion
Like the religions of India and Egypt, the
ancient Teutontc faith appears to have contained
elements which, to put it mildly, "could be
used for transition into the new creed" - Be-
sides the mystic tree, the sign Of the cross, and
tile institution OF infant baptism, the Teutons
had the tradition OF n great flood, even as the
Indians, the Greeks, and other nations had p.
"They further had Queen OF the Heavens,
FrieE, whose son, Balder, destined to die, was
called 'the blood-coyercd God.' They believed
in twelve divine pcrsonages, among whom a
thirteenth, Loki, PLAYED the traitor. They be-
leved. that the God who had been slain BY
treachery would come back at the end OF time.
when the golden age, or millennium, would fol-
low. They had lays in which that return was
propteEied In words remarkably similar to those
contained in the Gospels Of St. Mark and St.
Luke, when the worlds end and the coming OF
the son OF. man arc prophesied." Q099.) The
modern sciences OF modern philology, 1nythol-
ogy, theology, are certainly making havoc with
4herished religious beliefs; nor is 1t possible to
say what may yet be the results OF these explor-
ations into the legends OF the past. We recon
mend a perusal Of Kari Blinds contribution to
our scanty knowledge Of the Odinic legends.

The Je1ctsh World.
The current number Of the Nineteenth Ctntur7
contains an exceedingly interesting article from
the pen OF Karl Blind, On stThe Discovery O.
Oainic Songs in Shetland" Comparative phil
ologists and students of ancient folklore are
only beginning to justly estimate the wealth
that is hidden in the few old Morse and Ger.
manic myths that have survived the vast social
uphcavals aud changes of the last 1000 years.
Karl Blind, in the paper before us, calls atten-
ton to fresh discovery in the poetry Of North
cru mythology, IN the shape OF what he terms
ia most striking bit Of folklore, containing q
strange relic OF the grand old myth" OF the
Teutonic tree OF existence. The discovery WAS
made in Uust, and the relic in question is stated
to be ia Cnristianized version Of the Rune
Rhine Of Odin from the Havamal, curious for
the way in which the Rootless Tree is confound-
ed with the Cross" The following is an ordi-
nary English translation Of the relic in question

THE CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE.
To the Editor Of The Trtoune.
CHICAGO, July 20.-The purpose Of Mr. Glad.
stones last article IN the NlneteenM Century, on
Probability as the Guide Of Conduct,'' is
evident By giving prominence Ito doctrine
which is little known except among Wel-edu-
Gated people. he intends to benefit the cause OF
truth In general and that Of religion in par
ticular. Examining the nature Of evidence, and
pointing out the fa}libility Of the percipent
faculties Of man, be shows conclusively that,
strictly speaking, man cannot be certain Of any
thing, and that IN no conceivable case can he
obtain more than probable evidence as -Cuide

THE AFGHAN WAR.

LONDON, December 10. Ayoub Khan, gov
ernor of Ilerat, left that city a fortnight ago,
with his troops, with the intention of attack
ing the British at Candabar. A correspon-
dent of the Times at Candabar thinks that
undoubtedly the Duranis of Candabar and
that district will unite with the British if
necessary to resist the Heratees. Summonses
are issued for meeting of the cabinet cOun-
ell to consider the serious news from Afghan
istan.
The viceroy of India telegraphs that Gen.
Roberts reports his force collected in Shirpur

Generels Cough from Gandamuk, and Ar
buthnot from Jellalabad have been ordered
up to Cabul, and reinforcements are being
dispatched to replace the troops at those
points. Communication with Roberts is still

another settler. They are still corralled in
the log house. The country is in arms. The
Indians are sulky but quiet. A strong force

We call attention again to the entertain
ment offered to our citizens at the Free Bap-
tist church, this evening. Prof. Lord of
Providence, who makes his first appearance
before an Augusta audience, is one of the
most popular readers and elocutionists in New
England. In the past three years he has met
with great success and the most fiaitering re-
ception in the same course in Boston, and his
humorous and dialect sketches have been
pronounced unequalled. The church ought
to be crowded.
