EmersOn's Greed.

RnrenoloSlcal journal
Emerson regards heaven as a name for the
best state of mind and heart to which men
may attain, rather than place of half sensual,
earthly delights, as regarded by the majority.
He says: %The good, by affinity seek the good;
the vile by affinity the vile Thus of their own
volition souls proceed into heaven, into hell. "
Souls utterly absorbed in evil, he thought,
might perhaps pass out of existence, as the
following extract shows:
whilst man seeks good ends he is strong
by the whole strength of nature. In so far as
he roves from these ends, he bereaves himself
of power, of auxiliaries; his being shrinks out
of al remote channels; he become less and
less mote, joint, until absolute badness Is
absolute death"
Every movement of nature Emerson deemed
a miracle, a wonder-work of the great Soul of
the universe In Christ he saw man filled
with divine inspiration, moved by ecstacy of
love and belief to class himself one with God,
because of his soul-reaching wish after divine
perfection

Charlottesville Indiana, in Fiction.


It is understood that the events of the clos
ing chapters Of W. D. Howells last novel, "A
Modern Instance" TRANSFERRED in one Of our
neighboring cities. The Tecumseh of the
novel is Charlottesville. The plot of "A Mod
ern Instance SO far as it can be, in the divorce
scene, is from actual study Mr.. Howells
visited Charlottesville last summer and spent
several weeks there in studying the city, the
court and the Indiana divorce system. Angus
tus Il. Hawkins, the county clerk, in the fc-
ton, is Mr.. 7. D. Brown, uncle of Miss Mary
Il Krout, and present clerk of Montgomery
The judge of the book, is Judge Britton, now
on the bench in that county. We think the
paper in which the divorce advertisement was
printed must not have been of Charlottesville,
as Mr.. Howells refers to it as "a fimsy, shah
bily-printed country newspaper" There is a
study of the Charlottesville bar in the closing
chapters of this remarkable novel said to be

RaiIrnad Observations.

Every brakeman has his own style of pro-
nunciation, articulation, and accent in calling
out the names of stations. One brakeman
will yell "Po-u-g- h-keepsiel" and another
"Pkipsie!" We know one brakeman who,
every time the train stops at Dobbs ferry,
shouts Dobbses Ferry!" One time when the
train stopped at Garrisons, the brakeman
pushed the car-door wide open, and having
evidently forgotten where he was, yelled
Sold Spring." and Immediately yelled again.
"Oh, thunder! I mean Garrisons" On the
Ulster & Delaware road is station called
Brooks Crossing" One day the brakeman
opened the car-door and yelled "Brooksses
Crossing!" when a smart Aleck in the car sung
out, @Let him cross; don't stop the train. On
this division of the Central road, after the
train starts, the brakemen enter the car, shut
the door, walk to the middle of the aisle, take
off their hats, look to the east, and in a clear.
distinct, and sweet tenor voice exclaim, @The
next stop will be made at Rome!" Turning to
the west they repeat the announcement in the
same manner All passengers then rise to
their seats and exclaim, "Thank you, sir" and
adopta series of resolutions, and the wheels
keep going around and around The station
is announced in the same manner, with the
additional suggestion, @In leaving the cars 90
out at the front door; enter them at the rear
door and you will be sure to get seat"

An EngIishman Oh Prices in New
York.


From An Engineers Holiday, by Daniel Pid-
geon
The visitor who lands in America believing
that dollar in New York equals shilling in
London, is, nevertheless, astonished not so
much at high prices as at their capriciousness
While he can live like prince for sixteen shil-
ings or like gentlemen for twelve shillings a day
he cannot buy The Herald for less than two
pence halfpenny, though the publishing price
is three half-pence. Shaving costs
shilling, and drink the same sum A shoe
black demands fvepence for his services, and
cabman is occasionally to be found who will
jolt body and soul asunder over the wretched
roads at the rate of eight shiIlings an hour
Competition is not popular in America
Everybody wants large profits. From
rival railroads to rival retailers
every one prefers combination to competition.
Even the buyer is consenting party. He
likes paying large price, and such artificial
values as the above are cheerfully approved
by Americans. Some people explain all this
by saying that commerce in the states has
been reared upon protection; but the Yankee,
though a smart man of business on the sur
face, is Republican sentimentalist not far be-
low, and gives a benevolent width to the prov
erb, "Live and let live" wherever the claims
of labor are concerned.

Patent Medicine Paradise.

Uetf0lt Free PreSs.
If the negroes of the south could read there
would be such demand for patent medicines,
porous plasters, pills and stomach bitters as
would force every manufacturer to double his
help and capacity. The negro is always ailing.
No matter how healthy he looks OR how strong
he seems, he believes himself afflicted. If he
could read almanacs and circulars he would
think so twice as strongly.

The Deacon and the Hornet.

S&n r fanClScO Dulletlu.
Whether or not the hornet which worked it's
way up the leg and under the trousers of q
deacon in Richmond, Va, and stung him five
times while he was praying. in prayer meet
ing, was or was not an emissary of Satan is
one of those things which may never be defn-
itely ascertained The story of such an event
having happened might not be believed but
for the fact that the leading Baptist paper Of
Richmond vouches for it's truth The excite
ment in the meeting was intense, not only in
the mind of the suffering deacon, who
promptly changed his petition into howl Of
agony, but in the minds Of his brethren, who
were startled to hear the accustomed monotony
of the deacon's devotional exercise suddenly
transformed into such demonstrative elocu-
tionary vigor 1t is stated that the deacon i'm
mediately on being stung brought his prayer
to conclusion, probably without even saying
amen. While there are many church prayer
meetings which are in most respects all that
they ought to be, there are others so dry, mo-
notonous and wearisome that the entrance of
hornets ready for active operations on the
brethren who take part would be hailed as a
benediction, especially by the younger mem
