The Cynic.

One of the most disagree able human
beings is the cynic who does not believe
in good or disinterested motives. He
distrusts every one. He is skeptical as
to the sincerity of all men. and he be-
ieves that self-interest prompts all their
actions.
Whenever you see one of these men,
you see one who is so filled with selfish
ness that there is not room enough in
side him for it, and for all the egotism
he tries to carry. and you will see it
oozing out of him at every pore. These
two attributes crowd his sonl into
small compass, press on his heart until
there is not room for it to develop a
generous impulse, and take possession
of his mind until liberal or noble
thoughts cease to exist there.
He is liberal enough in one way
liberal in unbeliefs--but narrow
minded bigot in his beliefs. When he
hears OF some apparently unselfish act,
be begins hunting for a selfish mot We,
and should he fail to find it, he says:
"Well, | can not understand what he
does it for, but e must expect to bene-
tit by it somehow" Certainly, he can
not understand a dis;nterested act of
kindness, because all his own motives
are prompted by self-interest. He
knows OF no higher motives.
The cynic is simply what he believes
all other men-who are not fools-to be.
His heart is not large enough to con-
ceive chivalrous act. his brain not of
sufficient dimensions to teget or be de-
livered of noble or generous thought.
Whenever you meet man of this
kind, who suspects that everybody in
the world is trying to take advantage of
him, you may be sure that that man
would beat everybody in the world if
he could. Whenever you see man at
tributing mean or sordid motives to
others, you have found man who him
self is mean at heart, and you have dis
covered a man who may have many &C
qua;ntances, but very few friends.
Snakes, even the most venomous, are
supposed to have been created for some
+, se'ul purpose, and so the cynic has
doubtless place in the economy of ma
ture that it is necessary he should fill,
but he is a very disagreeable necessity.

Good Corn Meal.

1t is generally acknowledged that the
use OF corn meal for cooking purposes
is rapidly decreasing in all the North
ern tates. In fact, such is said to be
the case in the South, where corn was
formerly preferred to wheat for making
bread. The great increase in wheat
production and the Improvements that
have been made in manufact ring flour
have doubtless had much to do in bring
ing about this result. Theprice OF corn
now more nearly approaches that OF
wheat than it did a few years ago. and
this Renaissance operates in favor of
using the latter. Few persons now use
corn meal for economical reasons. but
many would prefer it a cons derable
portion of the time if good article
could be procured. The complaint is
general, however. that really prime
article of Indian corn meal can not be
obtained in towns and cities. In the
opinion of some the corn that is pro-
duced in the prairie regions of the West
is very in er or for making bread 1t
is certain that the corn produced in the
Southern States is vastly super or for
cooking purposes The meal made from
it is at once softer and sweeter. The
flint corn raised in the New England
States is excellent, but it requires a
large amount of cook ng. The sottest
and best favored meal is made from
new corn, which the propr etors of
large mills dislike to grind. All know
that corn meal can not be kept long
without deteriorating. The best corn
meal is obtained at country mills. where
the grinding is done slowly and ample
opportunity is given the meal to become
cold before it is moved. A country
miller states that good corn meal can
not be produced BY the use. of modern
grinding machinery. Chicago Times.

Our newly tiedsed agnostics are apt to
forget that all modern science has been
prosecuted in the broad and penetrating
supligh of faith, in one living and personal
God, and that not single theory has
been proposed or experiment tried in
nature except with the distinct recognition
of the fact that wise and loving mind at
least may uphold and direct the gongs on
of nature. These simple teachings of
Christian theism are capable of being
expanded into the grandest onceptons
tnat science ever attempted to formulate :;
80 grand that human reason is overwhelm.
ed with their grand relationships. and the
human Imagination is dazed to blindness
when it would picture them. That science
must have faith and hope appears whether
we consider it as an Interpreter, histor,
ian or prophet. 1t does not stop with
facts; it looks beneath the visible. Having
gained some insight into the present, it
goes to the past. 1t is also a prophet,
believing that the Interpretation of the
present and solution of the past will be
surpassed by its discoveries which are to
be; that nature and man shall continue AS
heretofore, observing the same laws as
from the beginning. This hope rests upon
the recognition Of personal intelligence.
The assertion that He cannot be known
takes from science its hope, Withdrawing
from the universe the illumination of per-
sonal reason and personal love, which all
scientific thinking accepts as possible and
rational. 10 be without God is to be
without hope in respect to moral culture
and perfection. What we are is of far
greater Importance than what we know.
A personal God is needed to give energy
and life 10 conscience. The agnostc
atheism weakens mans ideal. 1t denies
the law of duty from the changing feelings
of our fellow men. 1t sets freedom aside.
To reach Or fail of this ideal is the result
of simple mechanism. Character is the
10 mt product of Inheritance and crcum-
stances. Freedom with its kinding power
is but fancy and shadow-the working
phantom of mans romantic longings or
the vain surmses of his idle regrets.
There is neither inspiration nor hope for
such man in the help of God. Belief in
God is the only hope in the advancement
of public and social morality, and conse-
quently in social stability and progress

NEAL Dow's TOUGH STORY ABOUT
RATs.-In the COngregationalist of Janu-
ary 10Th, is curious story about rats,
which seemed to indicate that they will
not remain where their company is not
desired, If politely invited to change their
quarters, though everybody knows that
thoy aro driven out with difficulty. Here
is perfectly true story which fully
corroborates that one.
My house is supposed to be rat proof,
and was so when quite new, but at one
time, more than twenty years ago, we
had a large colony of the rodents, greatly
to our annoyance, and it was to us
matter of daily wonder where they found
weak spot in our defenses against them.
One evening a young lady from friends
family, living in a large, fine house, nearly
a mile away, was with us, and the talk
turned upon rats, as we heard ours
galloping in the ceiling and scampering
up and down the walls.
The young lady said that none had ever
been in their house, and she did not think
there'was any point at which they could
enter. My eldest daughter, a great wit.
said;
i've heard that, if politely invited to
do so In writing, rats will leave any house,
and go to any other to which they may be
directed, and will tell ours that at your
house they will find spacious quarters,
and an excellent commissariat."
AT the moment, before us ALL she wrote
a most grandlloquent letter to the large
family of rats that had so long favored us
Ui Tn ha,
that at No. 60 Pearl street was large.
fine house. which had never been favored
with the residence of any of their family,
where they would find ample quarters
and u fat larder. When finished, she read
the missive to the company, and we had
a great laugh over it, As an old
superstition, she then put lard upon it.,
and carried it into the attic, where it
would probably be found by those to
whom it was directed to.
A few days after, the young lady was at
our house again, and burst into laugh,
exclaiming: "Our house is oyerrun with
rats!' That recalled to US the fact that
we had heard none lately in cur walls.
My daughter went to the attic, and the
letter was gone. While they were talking
and laughing over the curious affair, a
friend came IN, and hearing the converse
ton, said that two evenings before in the
bright moonlight he saw several rats
running down Congress street, which
was the straight road to Pearl street. We
have never been troubled with them
since, but l have not heard how it has
been with the house to which our
beneficiaries were directed DoD, in
