ALetter of JefersOn's

A letter written by Thomas Jefferson
has lately come into the possession of
the New Hampshire Historical Society,
in which, after thanking a friend for
some pamphlets loaned to him, he says
''They give lively view OF the state Of
religious discussion now prevailing in
the North, and making it's way to the
South. Most controversies begin with
a discussion of principles, but soon de-
generates into episodal, verbal, or per-
sonal cavils. Too much of this is
seen in these pamphlets, and as usual,
those whose dOgmas are the most I'M
ineligible are the most angry. The
truth is that Calvinism has introduced
into the Christian religion more new
ahsurdities than it's leader had purged
it of old ones. Our Savior did not
come into the world to save metaphy-
sitions only. His doctrines are leveled
to the simplest understanding; and it
is only by banishing hierophantic mys-
teries and scholastic subleties, which
they have nicknamed Christianity, and
getting back to the plain and unsOphis-
ticated precepts of Christ, that we be-
become real Christians. The half in
formation Of Luther and Calvin did
something toward restoration Of His
genuine doctrine the present contest
will, hope, complete what they began
and place us where the Evangelist left
u.s."
St. Landry democrat., 1882-08-12
Work.

Work is the great civilizer of the
world. Work is worth. Without it we
would have no measure of value, no
standard OF currency there would be
alo civilization, no progress, no murali-
ty. 1t is mott curse IF so, our civiiza-
ton is a curse, and the idle, shiftless,
vagabond comes nearer filling his place
in nature than anyone else. Teach a
child to love work, to pride itself on
doing some kind OF work well, to feel
at is honorable, that it is the only step
ping stone to independence and true
manhood, and he will not wish to get
something for nothing; he will not be
dishonest he will not be dead beat
or make false preteDces. Let him pride
himself on his work, he will soon pride
himself on his truth and honor. Let
him be shiftless and slight his work,
he will be unreliable in everything else.
He who will not work should not eat.
DrOnes should be discoutenanced. Os-
tracise idlers and bummers from socie-
ty. They are a nuisance. 1t is an err
Tor to encourage idleness and vice by
nndeserved alms-giving. Those who
think they are casting bread upon the
water or laying up treasures above by
1ndescriminate acts of charity must be
badly mistaken. Everyone who is able
should have chance to work.
The above which we take from the
bossler Banner, is the true doctrine.

Abundant hair is not a sign OF
bodily or mental strength, the story OF
Sampson having given rise to the no
ton that hairy men are strong physi-
cally, while the fact is that the Chinese,
who are the most enduring of all races,
are mostly bald, and as to the SUPPOSE
ton that long and thick hair is a sign
and token of intellectually, all anti
DUTY, all mad house and common OBJ
servation are against it. The easily
wheeled Esau was hairy. The mighty
Caesar was bald. Long-haired men are
generally weak and fanatical, and men
with scant hair are the philosophers
