IILAIING EOR IN LSSLE.

Tie leaders OF the Democracy just now en-
gagged in beating the air TO: some sort of pO-
ltica issue that shall offer the party an excuse
for being, have our sympathy. We have rarely
seen them so earnest and thoughtful. With all
the machinery and the OF ganization of great
political party, absolute control in many OF the
States, and a powerful minority in the remain
der. they lack q cause and an aim upon which
they can agree among themselves OF hope to
draw strength from their opponents. The lato
canvass was fatal to the last surviving shams
and shadows of principles upon which they
depended tor conference. Nothing Is left them
but the hunger for office, and that is not enough
to make party formidable, though it undoubt-
eddy is very effective in holding a desperate

The low price at which the best
books are now published, and the
ease with which they may be had
without buying, gives literature a
place in plans for time-using and
self-culture such as it never occupied
before.
For social recreation and pleasure,
the long evenings open up wide
field for enjoyment, since sensible
people are becoming more rational in
their ways of using them. The old
stile "swell parties and "crush So
ciables" are giving way to quieter
affairs. Invitations now often sug-
gest real pleasure, instead Of being o
mere legal tender for the payment of
social debts. Only omany are invi-
ted as can be costly entertained, and
they are selected with some idea of
congeniality and the fitness Of things.
The head is remembered in the en-.
tertainment as we'll as the stomach,
and sociality becomes source of de.

Origin OF the Doctrine or the
Mother of God.

In .the organization Of religion,
now in all directions taking place, IL
becomes the interest Of every bishop
to procure an adoption Of the ideas
which, time out Of mind, had been
current in the community under his
charge. The Egyptians had already
thus forced upon the church their
peculiar Trinitarian views; and now
they were resolved that, under the
form Of the alteration of the Virgin
Mary, the worshipof Isis should be
restored.
II SO happened that Nestor, the
Bishop Of Antioch, who entertained
the philosophical views of Theodore
Of Mopsuestia, had been called by the
Emperor Theodosius the younger to
the Episcopate Of Constantinople a.
D. 427,) Nestor rejected the base
popular anthropomorphism, looking
upon it as little better than bias.
phemous; and pictured to himself an
awful eternal Divinity, who pervaded
the universe, and had none Of the as
poets or attributes of man. Nestor
was deeply imbued with the doctrines
Of Aristotle, and attempted to co.or-
dinate them with what he considered
to be orthodox Christian tenets.-
Between him and Cyril, the Bishop
or Patriarch Of Alexandria, a quarrel
accordingly arose, Cyril representing
the paganizing, Nestor the philoso-
phising party Of the Church. This
was that Cyril who had murdered
Hypatia. Cyril was determined that
the worship Of the Virgin as the
Mother Of God should BIO recognized;
Nestor was determined that it should
not. In sermon delivered in the
Metropolitan Church at Constantine
pie, he yindicates the attributes of
the Eternal, the Almighty Cod
"And can this God have a mother2"
he exclaimed. In other sermons and
writings, he set forth with more pre-
cision his idea that the Virgin
should be considered not as the Moth
er Of God, but as the mother of the
human portion Of Christ, that port
ion being as essentially distinct from
the divine as is a temple from its
contained deity.-Draper's g History Of

young and tender, exhibiting little
manurial value according to analy-

seem to warrant, though it is known
that shading the ground mellows
and cools it and thus lessons what

might take place. Where the land
is designed for spring crop, rye is
perhaps the best to sow, as it grows
a heavy mat by late fall, and if in
tended for corn, quite a heavy growth
can be turned down before planting.
If the soil is in good condition and
its fertility not too much reduced,
buckwheat may be substituted for
rye. This is especially good for ear.

The Long Evenings.

What shall we do with our even
ings? This is the old question that
winter makes new again. 1t doesn't
interest everybody, for some people
have no more idea of the value of
time than an, OK. Others, who
are given up TO social dissipa-
tion, or whose leisure is devoted to
public amusements, find their per-
plexity in the shortness of the sea-
son. But in the quiet villages and
more quiet country districts, and
among the home.loving classes in
our cities, the long evenings bring
opportunities that frequently go to
waste for want of little planning
and concert of action. For young
people specially they should be en-
tered upon with the resolve, first
not to waste them; and second not to
worse than waste them. To "kill
time," says some one, as an express.
ion that would have been ill-used by
Methuselah in his nine hundred and
sixty-ninth year" And to misuse
time is the worst way Of killing it.
One of the best ways of using the
long evenings, if you are the head of
q family, is to make them happy and
helpful to your household. Don't
take your book or newspaper direct.
ly after supper-settle down in the
warmest corner in manner that
warns everybody to keep still-read

and then yawningly ask your wife

not half so ornamental, as a good

Give SO much time to topical and so
