ChrIstianity and I'm mortality.

We have now seen that the
religion of Christ is in essence that very
worship of mankind which the humani>
tarisns seek. 1t places neighbor before
self; it tolls for others; it blesses the
poor it ferbids all impurity; all injus,
tice i protects the slave and frees him !;
it guards the person and rights on man,
woman and child it loves earth deeply,
and does not steal from our little world
one single joy with which to decorate its
heaven. 1t is religion of humanity in
all the light and expanse of that term.
No franklin, no Wilbertorce, no August
Comte, no Thomas Paine .can dig up
from the deep mines of their genius a
jewel OF truth which may not be found
in those precious stones of the Tests
ment.
What, then, is peculiar to the Christ
ian systemi What is the part to be
played by the notion of a second life ?
The immortality o; man does not make
the precepts of Christ true or false, but
it does this, it takes the absolute religion
of humanity and fills it with spowerful
motive. If am to exist for q year, l
must not in that year, lie, or steal, or
murder, or hate my neighbor, but much
more may | and can l avoid such little
ness of sin if am the child of great
God and am to live an endless life. If
man were born of chemistry and will in
few years return to dust, he must in
deed do to others as he would they
should do to him, but if an intelligent
God made him, and the Golden Rule is
one of the laws of that God, and man is
to live forever, then the motive of an
upright life becomes so grand that no
words can express its measurement. A
law of action is thus transformed into 8
transport of the soul.

The Vice OF Comparison.

One of the commonest and worst OF
the vices is the vice of comparison.
There is good authority for saying that
those who measure themselves by them
selves and compare themselves among
themselves are not wise. The Phalisee
who went up into the temple to pray fell
into this snare. "God, / thank thee
that l am not as other men are. %
This is TIE language of spiritual pride
and of consciousness. Thinking in this
strain he is sure to paint others as black
as he can in order that he may show
himself TO the better advantage on this
background. 1t would have been well
to thsnk God for not being suffered to
fall into grievous sin; but the com.
parison between him and other men was
sure to bring with it many harsh judg-
ments snd many hateful passions. Such
a compsriso moreover, puts the true
standard of character cut of sight; for
that is the law that demands perfection.
Gods requirement is not, "Be ye good
as other men :" it is, "Be We perfect,
even as your Father in heaven is per-
feet" .-
Besides, such a comparison is very
likely to be unjust. How do you know
that you are better than "this publia
can," Sir tharisee? Perhaps his lite
may outwsrdly seem worse than yours
but it may be that he, though vicious
and unprincipled and degraded in the
eyes of men, is a better man than you
are in the sight of God. 1t may be that
he was born with an organization that
inclined him to indulgence. 1t may be
that his environment frsm his earliest
life has been evil. And it may be that
against all these hindrances he has stri-
ven brayely-far more bravely than you
have ever striven; and, though his
achievements, 80 far as man can see,
have not been remarkable, God may
credit this man, who has lived bad life,
with more real heroism than you have
ever shown.

Female Drunkards.

A London letter says: In the United
States you rarely see girl or woman GO
into a drinking bar. 1t is common in
England. In the slums of London a
great deal of the drinking is done by
women. This kind of promiscuous tip
pling used to be pretty well confined to
the lower classes. But our Gladstone,

PROVERBS IN COOKERY.

By MISS DODD6, OF PHILADELPHIA.
There is q greatness in onions and
potatoes that renders them hard to di.
gest. For heslth's sake, put them in
warm water for an hour before cooking.
The only kind of stove with which
you can preserve q uniform heat is gas
stove with it you can simmer pot for
an hour or boil it at the same rate for
twenty minutes.
Good -four is not tested by its color.
White -four may not be the best. The
test of good -four is by the amount of
water it sbsorbs.
In cooking q fowl, to ascertain when
it is done put skewer into the breast,
and if the breast is tender the fowl is
done. ... "a.
Aiew dried or preserved cherries, with
the stones cut, are the very best things
possible to garnish sweet dishes.
Single cream is cream that has stood
on the milk twelve hours. 1t is best for
ties and coffee. Double cream stands on
its milk twenty,four hours, and cream
fer butter frequently stands for forty
eight hours. Cream that is to be whip
ped should not be butter cream, lest in
whipping it change to. butter.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly put
in pinch Of salt. The cooler the eggs
the quicker they will froth. Salt cools
and also freshens them.
In boiling eggs hard put them in boil
ing water ten minutes and then put them
in cold water. 1t will prevent the yelks
from cOlUring black.
Outlets and steaks may be fried
well SIS broiled, but they must be put
IN hot butter or lard. The grease is
hot enough when it throws of 8 blush
smoke.
You must never attempt to boil the
dressing of clear soup in the stock, for
it will always discolor the soup.
In making any sauce put the butter
ard -four in together and your sauce vii
never be lumpy.
Whenever you see your sauce boil
from the sides OF the pan you may know
your -four or corn>stsrch is done.
Boiled fowl with sauce, over which
Crate the yelks of eggs, is magnificent
dish for luncheon.
Tepid water is produced by cOmbin-
ing two-thirds cold and one-third boils
ing.
To make maccareni tender, put it in
cold water and bring it to boil. 1t will
then be much more tender than if put
into hot water or stewed in. milk.
The yolk of an egg binds the crust
much better than the white. Apply it
to the edges with brush.
Old potatoes msy be freshened up by
plunging them into cold water before
cooking them.
Never put pudding that is to be
steamed in anything else than a dry
mold. ttar 4rR Ff..
Never wash rsisins that are to be used
in sweet dishes. 1t will make the pud-
ding heavy. To clean them, wipe them
in a dry towel.
To brown sugar for sauces or for pud.
dings put the sugar in a perfectly dry
saucepan. If the pan is the least bit
wet the sugar will burn and you will
spoil your saucepan.
The water used in mixing bread must
be tepid hot. If it is too hot, the loaf
Ill be full Of great hsles.

To boil potatoes successfully: When
the skin breaks, pour of the water, and
let them finish cooking in their OWL
steam.
In making crust of any kind do not
melt the lard in the -four. Melting will
injure the crust.
In boiling dumplings of any kind, put
them in the water one at time II
they are put in together they win mix
with each other.

A Probable Failure.

The Ute expedition which left Raw
Inns Monday morning, Is commanded
by Major Thornburg, Fourth infantry.
It Is composed of two companies of the
Fifth cavalry, under Capts. Payne and
volkmar; n company Of the Third
cavalry. Capt. Lawson, and a company
Of the Fourth infantry, Lieut.. Price.
The companies are all small, and the
whole command will not number over
q hundred and fifty men. The distance
from Rawlins to the White River agen-
cy is stated by Mr.. Wagner, who has
had the contract for furnishing supplies
to the agency, to be 1873 miles-a rough
mountainous country, with a number
Of streams to cross, but a tolerably fair
wagon road. 1t will take the command
from wen to ten days 10 reach the
agency. The Indians through their
scouts will know OF their coming long
before they reach there, and unless they
intend to fight, will have scattered to
the mountains, where 1t will be impos-
sible to overtake them. The ringIead-
ers in the late troubles will beyond
doubt keep out of the way, and except
as to the effect it may have on the In
dams of showing a determination on
the part Of the government not to allow
these disturbances to go unnoticed. the
expedition will have no practical result.
In all probability they will march to
the agency and then return without
seeing an Indian. THIS will not be the
fault Of the commanding oflcer or his
subordinates, but it will be that Of the
situation. The Indians will have sew
eral days the start, and they know the
mountains thoroughly, which the troops
do not. Tie command is too small to
cut up into derachments for pursuit,
and the hiding places are too numerous
for any hope of discovering them
They VIII watch every movement 81
the troops, and when they have left will
return to the agency and be as trouble
some As before-rendered even more
saucy by the escaped punishment.
The better plan would be. to remove
the Utes to the Indian territory, but i
they are allowed to remain, then Their
is but n secure mode Of managing
them. Concentrate the Utes all at ont
agency, establish a large military pos
in their Immediate vi,Inity to keel
