Tearing Up he Bible.

1t so happens that all modern Difficult
ties of any moment, in the direction OF
the Holy Scriptures, are not difficulties
with rendering, but with the subject
matter, however interpreted. There
should be in the new version elimina-
tons of the whole chapters and whole
books, on the ground that they make the
sacred volume too large to be printed in
Bible means that the type is almost mi
croscopic. A popular Bible should be
at once portable and of fair, clear type,
and to make this possible large part OF
the Old Testament should be omitted
from the editions of the future.
Not only are the laws of the Mosaic
state repealed and dead, and therefore
unworthy of a place in this guide OF the
public, but they are the laws of n semi
barbarous age, and cast no little imper-
lection upon the fair pages of the New
Testament. The New Testament has
suffered much from being found in bad
company. Those treaties are valuable
rs being part of the history of the
Jewish state, but not as being part,
much less valuable part of Christianity.
Many of the Hebrew laws were so unjust
that their presence in the popular Bible
makes it essential that each clergyman
and each Sunday school teacher shall
spend much time in explaining the rela-
ton of Mosaic things to Christian affairs
an explanation to I've made easier by n
withdrawal of the cause. The laws about
women and slaves are particularly I'M
Just, and their presence in the good book
will always complicate the inquiry:
"What is inspiration" If, as almost all
Christian scholars will admit, those laws
were the temporary statutes of II nation,
temporary compromises between
horrid epoch and kinder
one in comparison, that legal lit
erature should have lapsed into quiet
ness along with the Hebrew, the Amor
tie and Jesubite, and not be spread out
to-day before our youth, as some part of
the divine truths to be believed. Be-
sides the savage injustice of some of
those laws, there is much that offends
against the refinement of orr more civ
ilized times. No minister, no family,
dares read aloud all of the Old Testa-
ment. 1t came from q far-oif time, and
jars like discord upon the human
heart. The Bible has already been SO
deeply injured by the timidity of its
friends that now-since the rage of new
version has comet is high time that u
demand were made that the best of all
books be set free from some of the
weights which so impede its progress.
Other leaders will come along after q
time to make changes of II more radical
nature, and from their hands the Bible
will come really to be the handbook of
the Christians of the next century. The
Bible will always live and always lead
man. Rev. DR.. Swing in Chicago ALI

The Influence OF Society.

Society. rs means of education, is
even more important for woman than
for o man. 1t is only in this way that
woman can gain any extended personal
knowledge of the world, unless she is
compelled by circumstances to 60 ont
among tho toilers in the vineyard and
earn her own bread and meet and COM
pete with others. Ease and grace and
tact and all the powers of pleasing that
woman of society possesses, are devel-
oped by experience so acquired. For the
first year or two girl is mainly occu-
pied in looking about her and compre-
bending what it all means, and trying
the new ground with timid, uncertain
footsteps. Dut the complications of the
social machinery are soon mastered, and
being less pr,occupied with herself, she
is able to occupy herself more with
others. After few years OF such ex-
perience she is apt to subside, unless
she aspires to the career Of gay
married woman, into the sphere OF do
nestle duties to be absorbed by them,
and to consider herself exempt from
other claims. 1t is by no means desir-
able that woman should neglect or be
Indifferent 20 her home and home oc Gu
pations, but il is important that she
should not, as is too often the case, lose
her powers of pleasing and her capacity
of interesting herself in topics outside
her immediate sphere. Many u man
who now prefers his own fireside, where
he is sure Of finding chair adapted to
his own special vertebral needs, would
relinquish this idle personal indulgence
il he were sure of meeting in society
persons Of cultivated tastes, with whom
he might discuss topics q little apart
from the routine OF daily life. Society
should not be an end, but q means; not
a WEAKNESS and a burden, but a refresh
ment and benefit to men and women,
upon whose lives the commonplace and
necessary encrcach largely, and means
Of keeping ones interests expanded and
ones sympathies fresh and liberal.
The DIVORCE QuEsrIoN.-In an inter-
esting article on 1.-THE divorce question:"

the United States-which results fire.

a man to have several wives at once in
different parts Of the Union-is q dis
grace to our civilization. The writer

be so amended that every Judgment Of

How to Treat q Ch,Id's Fears.

Mamma" called little boy the
other night, after he had been snugly
tucked up in bed, and was supposed to
be far on the way toward sleep-'mam :
ma, I'm afraid my blouse hangs by the
window. and it puts things in my mind
that frightens me"
You are not afraid when YOU know it
is your blouse that puts the fear in your
mind?"
eyes; and can help it, mamma.
There were two ladies' sitting in the
room below who heard the boys words.
One said: How perfectly absurd What
won't child do to get his mother to
come upstairs to him? | really think
he ought to be punished for making up
such story as that" The other,
happily, was the boys mother, and she
said-but without going to him: IF you
are afraid of the things in your mind you
may get out of bed, light your candle,
and take the blouse down; you can look
after you put the light out aud see that
there is nothing at the window to brighten
a good boy.
She remembered, as if it we're but yes
terday, night. great many years ago,
when she lay trembling mortified child,
whose mother WAS dead, and there was
no one in the wide world to whom she
dared to say that the lights and shadows
made by the moonlight coming through
broken Stat in the blind were so fright
full to her that she could not sleep, but
lay holding her breath and almost smoth
ering beneath the clothes. She felt sure
that her own little six-year old boy was
suffering from this same unreasonable
terror, at which he would laugh in the
morning when he would awake and see
his blue blouse waiting for him. The
child, taking his mothers advice and
lighting the candle which kindly
freak Of fashion allowed him to have,
removed the cause of his fears, and in a
very few minutes profound silence
indicated that he was fast asleep.
One can easily feel sympathy for what
may seem an absurd within in child If
he or she has paid any attention to the
literature of nervousness, and knows
anything of the many ways in which
strong minded men have been afflicted
by Authorizations, or have been annoyed
~ WAS the old carpenter who, when sick,
called his son to his bedside, and asked
him to make a shelf that was in his room

to be denied: Troubles trouble; that
shelf must be changed" 1t is to be de-
plorvd that mothers, and all those who
have the care of children, do not possess
their complete confidence, and so can
encourage entire outspokenness, and be

The Result In Henry County.

A light vote was polled throughout
the county on Tuesday. But, taking
into consideration the dullness of the
campaign, together with the dissatis-
faction existing in the Democratic
organization, the vote polled is by no
means small, but above what might
have been expected. Although some
of our candidates are elected by small
majorities, the entire ticket is elected
with the exception Of Mr.. Hornung,
WHO is defeated by Mr.. Tyler by a
large majority. This was brought
about by an antipathy of Democrats
towards Mr.. Hornung, which nothing
could appease but his defeat. His
friends worked hard and INCREASINGLY
for him, but the tide could not be
stemmed, and Mr.. Hornung was not
only heavy load himself but the gen
eral ticket suffered to great extent
under the load. None deplore this
state of matters more than the NORTH
WEST, but let 1t be hoped that lesson
maybe learned by which our organl-
ization may profit through the defeat

The State.

Although nothing is definitely
known regarding the result in the
State, yet the indications at this writ
ing (e P. M. Wednesday, are that the
Republicans carry it by a few thous-
and. Democratic gains are reported
in every direction, but not sufficient
enough to overcome the large majority
Of last fall. But let the result be as it
may, the Democracy are to be con-
graduated on having made the gallant
fight they did, against the large odds
and the immense Foster corruption
fund which was distributed by his
henchmen from one end of the State
to the other, aud fully 100000 was
spent in corrupting voters and the bal
lot box by Foster through the Republi-
can State Committee and his own hypo-
critical manner of distributing funds.
The Republicans will call it a victory!
If they can get any comfort out of the
fact of their majority being cut down
from $4,000 to paltry few hundred,
the Legislature taken from them, or
nearly SO, they are welcome to it, 1t
is indeed victory, but one for the
Democracy, and although not wholly
complete, nevertheless it is q victory
over which the Democracy Of the State
may well feel proud. . G3 @"i1AE.

plea of insanity, and expects by pro-
