An Add.sonian Query.

Y at ~ d
The question has been raised whether
an author can refer to his own produce
lions in terms of commentator. < In
some instances this has been done, not
understanding the risk of censure, one of
the most striking instances being found
in Addisou. This distinguished writer,
after completing his tragedy of Cato,
feltthe importance of calling. the aeten-
ton of the public to its most impressive
les on zathe jmmQ rtality of the soul. Il
+ find this IN the Spectator for December
3, 17l4, which opens with disquisition
on eternity and closes thus: es-~s ss3
I have a translation efsthe speech of Cato
which hath accidentally fallen into my hands,
and which for conc5seuess, purity and ele-
ganee, can not be sufficiently admired.
He then, gives the speech in. Latin
heAameters on one side of the page,
while the others side contains the trans
lation, beginning alt must be so; Plato,
thou reasonest well. " This speech,
which is termed "Cato's soliloguy, =
was in Addison's opinion the best thing
in the play, and hence he translates it
into Latin and gives it to his readers as
a fragment Of antiquity. Such is the
example Addison gives us of an author
commenting his own works. Pope dis
covered it and was no doubt highly
! amused at Addison s self-cOmplacency,
/ but when the tine came to use it in sa-
| tire he made it very effective. Addison
afterward incurred Pope's displeasure,
and the latter retOrted by that scathing
paragraph which is one of the curiosi-
ties of literature. Here he couples Ad-
/ Olson and his hero in the following
| manner:

HIS OWN ExECuTAR.
A Weu-Known Gentleman's PhiIankhro-
ply and the CommotIon Caused b
One of His Letters.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. !


We published in our local columns yes
terday morning a significant letter from q
gentleman known personally or by reputa-
ffon to nearly every person IN the land.
We have received a number OF letters pro-
testing against the use of our columns for
such "palpable frauds and misrepresenta-
tions;o therefore, to confirm beyond q
doubt the authenticity of the letter, and
the commences of its sentiments, areport-
er Of this paper was commissioned to ass
certain all the possible facts ia the matters
Accordingly he visited Clifton Springs,
saw the author of the letter, and with the
following RESULT
DR.. Henry Foster, The gentleman in ques-
tion, is 63 or Ga years Of age and has an ex-
tremely cordial manner. He presldeS as
superintendent over the celebrated sani-
farium which accommodates over 500
guests and is tInquestionably the leading
health resort OF the country. Several
years ago this benevolent man wisely de-
ternlined to be his own executor, and.
therefore turned over this ma gnificefl6
property worth 100000 as a free gift to a
board of trustees, representing the princi-
pal evangelical determinations. Among
the trustees are Bishop A. C. Coke, Prot
estant Episcopal, Buffalo; Bishop Mathew
Simpson, Philatielphia, Methodist Episco-
pal; President NJ B. Anderson, Of the Uni
versitys0f Rochester; Rev DR.! CLARK, aSecre-
tary of the A. B. CT. NJ, Boston. The benevo-
lent purpose of the institution is the care:
1st-of evangelical missionaries and their
families whose health has been broken in
nomination, in good standing; 3d-of
members Of any church; who otherwise
would be. unable to. secure such care and
I treatment. The current expenses of the in
stitution are met by the receipts from the
/ hundreds of distinguished and wealthy
/ people who every year crowd its utmost
| capacity. Here come men and women who
were once in perfect health. but neglected
the first. symptoms of disease. The uncer-
\ tain pains they felt at first were overlooked
| until their health became impaired. They
! little realized the danger before them, nor
I how alarming even tr. fling ailments might
prove. They constitute, all classes, in
/ Guiding ministers. and bishops, lawyers,
Judges, statesmen, nlillionaires, journal
/ ists, college professors and officials from
all parts of the land.
Drawing the morning Democrat and
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re-
marked: {" Doctor, that letter of yours has

TWO FORMS OF POLYGAMY.

A year or two ago THE HERALI
repubIished an article by Rev. DR.
Bacon, of Connecticut, On the pre-
valence and sinfulness of divorce
1t was a vigorous arraignment Of
legislatures, courts and lawyers fol
making and administering laws in
the interest of immortality, anG
presented statistics showing a sad
condition of things in New England
in the matter of divorce. The doc
tor is still waging war against lax
divorce and loose morals. He re-
Gently said there were two forms of
polygamy practiced in this country,
the simultaneous and the consecu-
tive, Or as he terms them, the Nor
mon and the Eastern, and the for
mer is the more moral and alto.
gether preferable to the other. The
Mormon polygamy is outspoken and
sanctioned by religious belief. while
the Eastern variety. not less real in
the mind of DR.. Bacon, is rendered
possible by the vicious di-
vorce laws. The doctor says
here is this difference, howe
ever, between the two - while
the Mormon Polygamist supports
his children and ali his wives, the
Eastern polygamist gets rid OF one
wife by divorce proceedings before
he takes another the Mormon is not
relieved of his obligation to support
all his wives and children, but with
the consecutive polygamist the case
is different-the second, third or
fourth marriage adds nothing what
ever to his duties or expenses.
The New 7 ork Sun, in comment
ing ION DR.. Bacon's structure and
the attacks upon the Mormons,
thinks the real problem for Congress
to solve is a vicious view of mars
liage, (which in one case is sane.
toned by a religious fanaticism but
by law, and in the other
condemned by religion and permit
ted by law"

THERE HAS been marked falling
off in the number of immigrants to
this country in 1888, a decrease from
last year being noted for every
month 1t is estimated that the years
immigration will be 100000 less
than it was in 1882, or about 100000
in all. Germany sends the largest
delegation. In November, out of a
total of 35,S93, there were 1880
Germans, while only 1926 came
from England, Scotland and Wales
and 1897 from Ireland. This de-
crease tells very plainly that the
old world has enjoyed high
er industrial prosperity than
ordinarily, while America has
not presented the inducements
that she usually holds out to the
laboring classes of Europe. Careful
observers predict that immigration
will fall off every year for the next
half decade, and some 60 so far as to
say that the rush to this country
will never reach what it has been
in the past.
