and copiousness of diction, exquisite
imagery, wide reaches into the spirit
ual kingdom, profound grasp of the
interiors of things, dwarfng the popu-
lar theology and the ordinary pulpit
divine. So, though we have lost our
little store of learning concerning
agnosticism and have nothing in that
line in its place, we are richly compen-
stated and can do without what we
didn't know
OUR columns are open to any we'll
written articles upon any subject that
we think will interest our readers. We
don't require our correspondents to ad-
vocate our doctrines or express our
opinions, we can do that ourselves.
We want to find out what is best for
the public good and we do not care
what it is called or who supplies it

because it holds his blind denial of a
knowledge of spiritual things to be the
true test OF veracity. Both are prob
ably sound in their proper relations
We MAINTAIN without the slightest aid
from theology, or from any source but
common reason, that the man who
has ears and hears with them, and
eyes and sees with them, and brain
and thinks with it, and yet denies that
something of higher certainty and
greater reality underlies them all, is
not a witness fit to be believed. There
is nothing in the universe, in Its natural
or spiritual kingdoms, in its arcana of
the invisible, or phenomena of the
visible world, more wonderful or mys-
ferrous than our act of writing these
words, or the readers of reading them,
and no rational human mind has any
excuse for not being aware of this.
The simple argument that they are
only not strange to us is as obvions to
the understanding as the rest. And the
above passage from the discourse is
entirely fatal to the "heresy of boast
full ignorance in an age of knowledge"
Agnosticism as we see it just here, can
not swim an instant in the sea of argu-
ment we have quoted. Yet the learned
author of the discourse had declared
after his first deviation, though not an
agnostic, 81 am not sure but that what
shall say will seem to be plea for
those who are"
Next we seem invited to accept
compromise, as it were, in two little
verses of Palgrave which are given as
"pure agnosticism.''
No voice can speak His voice,
No words His essence tell;
Felt beyond feelings conscious verge
Is He in whom we dwell
In silence hold thy faith,
Unspeakable, alone;
The unknown future ever lies
Hid in the God unknown.
If this be pure agnosticism it is
beautiful faith, devotional and ele-
waiting; and the meditative mind may
lose itself in the luxury of feeling for
the Divine influence within its interior
consciousness, and the imaginative
mind soar through the hidden I'M
known with a sort of winged delight.
There are many situations into
which the discourse would take us, if
we could follow with our present CON-
pany, the reader. But that is out of
the question. We now have un-
learned what we knew and know
nothing concerning agnosticism. We
must await another discourse. Our
specially, the parallel Of the political
Know Nothing, is literarily smashed
into eternal squash by Brother Pal
graves two verses. To 60 back to it
would be like dropping into Dante
Inferno. But we are aware that 60
ing a little further along takes us out
of the pleasant atmosphere of Pal
graves agnosticism and deposits us
successfully in some muddy places, for
the sly purpose, as We apprehend, on
the part of the learned author of the
discourse, of exhibiting his great skill
as an expert, his great ingenuity in
showing how many, many things
agnosticism is not. We should pres
emily be dipped into Pantheism and
hurried to the next station dripping
with metaphysical mire. And next
halt at the substantial mansion of the
old philosopher who declined to affirm
the existence of God because he could
not adjust the infnity. The great
bard says he reasoned well, but he

Wedding Pipes.

The city of Gouda, so famed for the
old stained glass in the cathedral, ane
more generally associated with the man
ufacture of Dutch pipes, is about fifteen
miles from Rotterdam. Among the va
riety of pipes made there is one called
the wedding pipe; it is three inches long
in the stem; the bowl is ornamented
with coats-of- arms. The Dutch make
festivals of the copper wedding, the sill
yer wedding, the golden wedding, and
the diamond wedding. On the occasion
of the copper wedding the stem of the
pipe is ornamented with copper leaves
twining all the way up the stem, and at
each successive festival the leaves are
renewed according to the date of the
commemoration, which seldom passes
the golden. In Amsterdam once saw
diamond-leaved pipe which had been
prepared for seventy-ffth wedding

A Man to Whom Vanderbilt Gave {
Farm.

The first wife of the late Commodore
Vanderbilt and the wife of Samuel Carr
were sisters. While Vanderbilt was
laying the foundation Of his great for
tune Carr was going backward. He
finally became almost destitute: Com,
modore Vanderbilt then bought good
farm, stocked it, and turned itover to
Mr.. Carr as present; but it was not
long before Carr had spent everything
He appealed for another trial, but the
Commodore was memorable. The result
was was that Carr had to be taken to
the Richmond County Poor-House,
where he has remained for the last
twenty years. Recently Mr.. William X.
Vanderbilt, the grandson OF Commodore
Vanderbilt, interceded, and now Mr..
