TIMELY TOPICS.

is of that of self-deulal and kindness. 1t leads
the Christian to prefer others, to put Others
ahead: to yield to age and.position, and to take
the lowliest place. 1t condemns self-con-
ciousness, which continually sits before a mir
ror, where self and nobody else is always in
sight"
THE Rev. George Hill, who has been pastor
of the Universalist church in Norwood, Massa-
chusetts, for the past seventeen years, has ten
dered his resignation, to take effect three
months after its acceptance. The reverend
gentleman says, in his letter to the society,
that his reason for resigning is because he has
noticed hostility on the part of some of the
congregation, although it has not affected the
attendance, membership or finances of the
church-the usual tests applied to religion as
well as business.
A CHARLESTON, South Carolina, telegram
OF 6 late date gives an account OF an encounter
off Bay Point with whale, in which the
| whale came off victorious: A whale boat from
the whaling schooner Lottie E. Cook, of New
Bedford, attacked large whale off Bay Point
| this morning. The whale cut the boat in two,
sinking it Immediately. The men were picked
up BY q passing pilot boat and brought to
Port Royal. They had fastened three har-
poems in the whale, but it escaped.
| SHORT time ago one hundred able bodied
men refused to work in factory if young
woman was paid wages as high as theirs.
Grown-up men were willing to Cypress and
| injure woman, the sister of one of their own
number who had recently died They knew
that her wages went to the support OF her
poor mother, yet these selfish brutes in
human form, selfish as pigs at a trough,
would compel the owners to underpay young
woman! Such men are incapable OF feeling
the force of these principles.
| A VIGOROUS newspaper writer, speaking of
''hazing," says: Good manners and good
morals are here one and the same. The in
| stinct of a gentleman-that is, of gentle
man-revolts from the coarse brutality OF col
lege hazing, and no young man who has been
properly taught in his childhood ever becomes
one of @ gang of rufians to infict bodily in
jury on q fellow-being for the sake of sport.
| 1t would be an exception to the rule if one of
these brutal boys ever came to be anything
but brute when he reached the stature of a
man.
| The Rev. I. Dewitt Talmage in recent
sermon thus describes the marriage of Adam
and Eve in the Garden of Eden: "The leaves
whispered and the birds chartered, and laugh
| ing were the voices of the waters, for the king

bride, the first man leading to the marriage
altar the earliest woman. See, now God, her
| father, steps forward and gives away the bride,
while angels are the witnesses. Oh, wondrous
wedding. In the book of time angels inscribes
the record: Married on the second Tuesday
morning in May, of the year one, Adam, the
| first man, to Eve, the first woman, high heay-
en- officiating"
THE cheek, and hoodlum element in the av-
| erage Young America of the present day, his
| coarseness is well illustrated by the statement
of gentleman who was attempting to enter
| an omnibus, in Broadway, New York. He
says: 81 opened the door to step in, the other
day, when boy took advantage of my hold
| ing it open, jumped in and took the only va
| cant seat, tickled that he got the start of me
and got the seat. This was young America
all over. The great Athenian philosopher
(socrates) said that democracy has its founda-
| ton in the principle that one man is as good
as another, if not'a little better. And many
wise men have insisted that popular govern
ment tends to destroy reverence for superiors
and Difference to others, which are essential
elements of refined manners. 'In honor pre-
ferring one another is the inspired religion
| of politeness."
| IRENEUs: If mothers form the manners of
the children, they should feel the burden of re-
sponsibility. They may permit the Unborn
waywardness of the child to go unchecked,
while he grows to bea pert, saucy, forward,
disagreeable, dreadful boy, terror in the
neighborhood and a nuisance to everybody
| but his doting mamma. She gives him stick
of candy, when stick of something not SO
sweet would do him more good. She coddles
him into curse that by and by will come
upon her own head. Just as the twig, etc.
Blood is great, and blessed are they who are
well born. But more than blood, better than
pedigree, is culture. Train up a child in the
way he should 60. He will go in it then.
Teach him to respect those who are older than
he: to rise up before the aged. Eneas was
pious, because he honored his father. 1t is a
long way toward goodness to obey ones pa
rents. And happy is the parent and happy is
the child when love is returned with love.
TIE great astronomer, Kepler, in seeking
to account for the ebb and flow of the ocean
tides, depicted the earth as a living monster,
the earth-animal, whose whale-life mode of
breathing occasioned the rise and fall of the
ocean in recurring periods of sleeping and
waking, dependent on solar time. he even, in
his flights of fancy, attributed to this earth
animal the possession of soul, having the
faculties of memory and imagination. Anoth-
er great astronomer, HALEY, was opposed to
the idea of the globe being solid, regarding
1t as more worthy of the creator that the
earth, like house of several stories, should
be inhabited both without and within" Sir
John Leslie, like HALEY, conceived the nucleus
of the world to be hollow sphere, but
thought it filled, not with inhabitants, bat
