BUDDAu.


Better than sovereignty over the earth.
better than going to heaven, better than
lordship over all the worlds, is the re.
ward Of the first step in holiness.
Ke who lives pure in thought, free
from malice, contented, leading holy
life, feeling tenderness for all creatures,
speaking wisely and kindly, humbly ami
sincere, has the Deity ever in his heart.
A wise man must faithfully discharge
al, his moral duties, even though he does
not constantly perform the ceremonies
Of religion. He will fall very low if he
performs ceremonial acts only, and fails
to discharge his moral duties. There are
two roads that conduct to perfect virtue
to be true, and to do no evil to any
creature.
Why say I will go on pilgrimage to
the holy city OF Benares? Why long fol
the sacred wells :? How shall the true
Benares be obtained by wrong-doer :
Though we live in the desert. sanctity is
not there, ror is it in the sky, nor on the
earth at the confluence Of holy streams.
Convert thy body into temple, and
govern thyself. Give up evil thoughts,
and see God with thine internal eye.

For one word man is often deemed
to be wise, and for one word he is often
deemed to be foolish. We ought to be
careful indeed what we say.

When the multitude like man it is nee
essary to examine into the case.
When we see men.of worth, we should
think of equaling them; when we see
men of contrary character, we should
turn inward, and examine ourselves.
Things that are done, it is needless te
speak about things that have had theil
course, it is needless to demonstrate
about; things that are past, it is need
less to blame.

About Worms.

Darwin, in his latest work, estimates
that there are in gardens So, 767 worms
to The acre, and that they would weigh
35s pounds. Having four or five giz-
yards apiece, each worm is able to di-
gest a large amount Of coarse food, and
to bring sixteen tons per acre to the sur
face per annuna. Mr.. Darwin says that
q field near his house has been cleared
of cobble-stones within his remembrance,
aud this not so much from the fact that
the pebbles have been undermined as
because fine earth has been brought to
the surface. Many of the foundations
of Roman buildings recently discovered
in Great Britain are preserved under.

Shortened Life in the Human Race.

The maturity of man, calculated by
the completed condition of the skeleton,
is twenty-one years. Twenty-one years
multiplied by five-105 years-is there
fore the natural duration of the life of
man on this estimate, and, with GER
tain natural limited range, may be &C
cepted as the true and full duration.
But when the actual value of life is
taken it is found to present, in this
country, an average of forty-two years,
SO that there are grand agencies at work
which are reducing the national life to a
very low value. If the inquirer enter
further into the matter he will observe
that the grand agencies leading to this
reduced value of life must be in some
way removable, because they are not
always in action to reduce every form of
life to the same level of duration. He
will discover that the domestic animals
which surround us, if we do not
kill them outright by hard labor, ex-
posure to the viciss1tudes of the seasons
or privation, are so much longer lived
than we are, and they exist, practically,
to their full term with as much exacti-
tude as we exist to the first of our second
stage Of existence. Or, to put the mat
ter in another light, he will discover
that, if our lower domestic animals were
to die in the same ratio that we die,
their duration of life, as it is now known,
would be reduced to nearly half what it
is. The dog would have an average
term of S years, and other animals a
similarly-reduced term OF life. Such
observations as these will lead the sani-
tartan to lind uniform object in his
labor. He will ask what is the reason
why man. who holds all the knowledge
and skill above the brute creation,
should have so little control over his
own destiny that he cannot control it in
respect to health and life as well as the
inferior creature which, compared with
himself, has neither reason nor skill.
He VIII wonder in vain so long as he
looks simply at the general fact. He
will not wonder at all when he proceeds
to an analysis of all the details upon
which that general fact depends.
In the first place, he will learn from
an analysis of the data he may collect
that man IS the subject of many more
diseases than the inferior animals are
that he suffers from certain diseases of
the mind incidental to his possession of
a mental organization superior aItogeth-
er to theirs, and from which diseases
they are exempt; that he suffers from
some diseases springing from human
vices. from which the lower animals are
also exempt; that he suffers from con-
tagious diseases from which they are
exempt; that he suffers from diseases
connected with the industrial pursuits
from which they are exempt; that he
suffers from indulgences in certain lux
uries of deadly kind from whi.h they
are exempt; that he suffers from various
accidents from which they are exempt ;

An Age of Assassination.

The number of assassinations since
1879 shows the loose state of opinion
that exists in many minds on political
crime; and SO does the rank of many of
the victims. Two Czars of Russia, two
or three Turkish Sultans, French King,
a King Of Sweden, two Presidents of the
United States, a British Premier, Pres
ident Of Greece, Governor General of
India and French Royal Duke (M. le
Duo de Berri, father of NJ. le Comte de
Chambord, who claims to be the legiti-
mate King OF France and Navarre)-
these are the highest of the persons as
sassinated within about ninety years.
Conspirators and assassins sought to kill
George III, Napoleon, Wellington,
Louis Philippe, President Jackson,
Gar Nicholas, Napoleon Ill.,, Secretary
Seward, Sir Robert Peel and others. OF
reigning sovereigns and statesmen who
yet are active, Queen Empress Victoria,
Emperor William, Alexander ILL.,, King
Humbert and Prince Bismarck all have
beer objects Of attack by assassins; and
perhaps Mr.. Gladstone has been con-
spired against with view to his violent
death. 1t is not improbable that Mr..
Forster was set down for similar fate.
The attempt of Thistlewood to destroy
almost the entire British Government
was an anticipation of Nihilistic modes
of operation. He expected to destroy
more than dozen Ministers at one blow,
and the threatened Minister'S were so far
alarmed as to return public thanks for
their escape. This was 1.-THE beginning
of 1920, and so it can be considered, by
old men, a contemporary event. Polit-
ical Nihilism makes of assassination a
regular mode of party warfare and it is
supposed that it means to act at the ap-
preaching coronation of Alexander III.
True, assassination was the regular thing
in Russia, long before Nihilism was
heard of but then it was regular thing
of the palace, not party, and in little
more than a century two Cars persisted
by it Peter ILL.,, in 1852, and Paul, in
1901. Many years after 1901 it went
down among the people, and now it is
less palatial than popular /; and it may
accomplish great change in the Great
Empire. It is quite possible that the
strength of Nihilism and the numbers
OF Nihilists are exaggerated and over
rated but the fact is clear that party
Of some power exists in Russia that ac-
cepts assassination in Its highest form
that of regicide- a legitimate force in
politics. It is equally true that the
civilized world does not appear to be
much afronted by the existence of such
a party, in what but recently was sup
posed the most stable of nations, be-
cause of its Governments strength.
This is altogether unlike to anything
ever before known in Christendom !;
and it indicates either general change
in sentiment, or disposition to make
an exception in the case of Russia. In
either case, the fact is important, for if
what is commonly condemned in civil
lied countries, yet known to some ex-
tent in them all, is to be tolerated in re-
gard to one member of the Christian
commonwealth, who shall say that the
evil will not spread over the whole
world? -BOston Traveller.

A CURIOUS proof of the prevalence OF
the English language throughout the
globe is afforded by statement in the
/" Newspaper and Bank Directory of the
World" that out of 1924 newspapers
and periodicals which were published
in 1880, no fewer than 16, 500 were print
ed in our own tongue. Nearly half the
remainder were in German, quartz,
in French, and the greater bulk of the
rest in Spanish. Daily papers numbered
1920, and the gross circulation of the
whole periodical press is estimated al
10, 592, 100000. @
