Backbiting.

Backbiting is called by DR.. Moore a
malignant sort Of insanity" In some
neigihborhoods it oftens takes on an cpl
demlc character. The same doctor IL
illustrates this latter feature with the
TACT that in certain nunnery q sister
one day bit her companions. The other
nuns were at once seized with the
same disposition to bite. The mania
spread from cloister, to cloister, until
says CARIBOU it infected every nunnery
IN Europe. a strange mania, surely !
But is it not yet more strange and piti-
tul that multitudes OF men and women
who are in the main friendly toward each
other, should be possessed by mania
which leads them to habitually bite each
others reputation 1t is, indeed, a pity
mat 1t IS 50. Yet if every Christian
would steadfastly resolve "to speak evil
OF no man" this latter mania would
speedily die out from the Church of God.

The following letter in The Christian Church,
the first number has reached us, is significant: I
PARIS, December, 1880.
An eminent man, who was at the same
time Christian, our great countryman,
M. Guizot, said about forty years ago,
The supreme question at the end of this
century will be the religious question. "
Prophetic word of which we verify every
day the profundity and justice.
1t is evident, to speak only of the mo-
ment at which we now are, that the dom
inant aspect of questions is their religious
aspect. The legacy of 1880 to 1881 is a
religious legacy.
If look to the East, where floats above
the Crescent, the standard of Islam-to
Germany, Switzerland, Belgium-every
where, see, more or less, that the group
ing OF parties, the movements of public
opinion, the debates of legislature and
the Press, have for their great inspirer-
their ruling, moving power-the religious
question.
In France this is perhaps more the
case than anywhere else The year be-
gan with the DEGREES Of the 10Th of March
against the Jesuits and nom authorised
congregations, and to-day that which in
terests men most and excites the strong
est passions In town and country-in the
deliberative Assembly in the Institute
OF trance-everywhere-is the question
of which M. Guizot spoke
In the Senate there is the discussion of
the law on the education of young girls.
and, foremost in the debate, rises up the
religious question. IF the law ordains
that moral teaching shall be given to our
young girls-what moral teaching? asks
M. de BrogGe. Will it be founded on
doctrines materialistic or spiritual? If
God is banished from our teaching. of
what kind will it be? In the Chamber,
the project of law under discussion con-
Germs the impost to be laid on ecclesias-
teal property. The ecclesiastical bodies
in France possess about 70O,0 ,O0Ofrancs
OF real property, and they do not pay any
transmission duty. In the Municipal
Council Of Paris they are banishine the
brethen of Christian doctrine from all
the Communal schools, and they are sup
pressing all the grants which have re-
ligious object.
The Press is primarily occupied with
similar questions. The Revue DIES Deun
Mondes published lately series Of PARTICLES
on Grace, devoted to a study of Pas
Gals Provincial Letters, giving extracts
OF the discussions which excited so much
the spirits Of men, in that gigantic con-
troversy. 1t is difficult to say which
compromise most the Christian Church
the clergy, who defend with as much
frenzy as bad faith the interests Of Ultra
montanism, or the Radicals, who attack
the religious idea itself, and whose pro-
gramme has just been formulated in those

They all shall take "per capita

OF different consanguinity,
AS sons and grandsons all shall take.
And an estate in commcn make
But such grandsons have cause to fear it,
They'll not an item more inherit,
Than would have been their fathers share,
Had he been the living heir.
B. But if the owner meets his fate,
No lineal heir to his estate.
We've dared the common law to mend
And his estate shall now ascend.

If brothers, sisters, nephewS nieces.
They then will take in equal pieces
If some be dead, some living be,
They'll take by nearness of degree.

Be no descendants lineaL
If parents, brothers, sisters, more
With their descendants meath the sun,
Nor the grandparents. the estate
Shall, by unerring legal fate,
Unto the aunts and uncles wend.
And those who from them may descend
Hequally related, they
Will take their part ''per capita.
But, if in different degrees,
They all shall then take ''per stripes"
+. Provided, ii the interstate had
Derived his living from his Dad,
It shall to aunts and uncle slide
And issue on the fathers side.
And if none such there be perchance,
Then to the uncles and the aunts,
On the maternal side twill go;
And this rule works sc converse
s, This 9Th, last rule, it seems to me-
Is rather stiff for poetry.

What potential word is that lit
tie ''ifv without which all things
might be different. If husbands
and wives studied each other more,
for example; If each remembered
how dependent we all are upon kind
words. If they would only strive
to win anew each day the love in
the hearts of their wives, who have
given them all that woman may
give, her love, her life, her present
and eternal future, an absolute sur
render of all but nominal individ-
uality, ifthey were as loving, andas
snlicitOus for the welfare of their
wives and their happiness as they
were for their sweethearts in their
lover days, how many a broken
heart would never have broken, and
how many an untimely grave would
now be empty. And ON the other
hand, If wives would remember
that their husbands need a little
crumb of love each day To strength
en- them in their battle for those
they love, and If they would but
send them forth at morn and well
come them at nightfall with a wife's
blest words and kiss of cheer, how
many thousand eyes would bright
en-, and how gladly would they well
come toll, whereas now their only
hope Of peace or rest is the grave--a
final home to which they are only
too glad to go.
