Immoral Literature.

A peoples standard of intelligence
and morality is invariably regulated by
the standard of their literature If of
low, trifiing, immoral type, such viii
be the character of the people among
perience, and observation demonstrates
this fact 1t is to be found in the rise
and fall of men and parties, nations
and dynasties. Deprive a people of
their literature and they degenerate
into barbarism. Limit them to i'm
moral literature, and debauchery and
crime are sure to overtake them sooner
or later.
1t costs no more to feed a people on
sound philosophy draped in proper
language, than it does to surfeit them
with cheap romance adorned in rags
and polluted in filth. But another OBJ
jector replies that the public taste re-
quires such literature, and the papers
would not sell without it. If this be
true, 1t simply proves that the public
taste is perverted and public reform is
seriously demanded. The pernicious
influence of this standard of literature
may not be so readily detected ia the
adult population as among the youth.
In the one case character is formed
and habits are fixed, while in the other
character is in process of formation
and habits may be changed or improy-
ed. If the family table or library is
loaded with indecent literature and
sensational trash, the. youth of the
country are not to be blamed if they
grow up to be desperadoes and land in
the penitentiary or on the gallows.
Censure belongs not to the wrong
doers, but to tie parents or guardians
who placed such temptations in their
way. There is a prevailing tendency
to ignore the wholesome restraints
which characterized the culture of chill
dren at an earlier period in our history,
and the increase of crime in our land
is largely attributable to this neglect
in the education of children. No fea-
ture of domestic discipline should be
more scrupulously guarded than that
which limits the selection of family lit
erature to such papers and books as
produce sound, healthy, moral, So
cial, and political influence on the
youth.-loloa Repieao.

mo, Frances Violet" Fan corrected,
sudden flash of anger darkening her
eyes at her cousin being first in this i'm
portant subject.
"No, Fan. Violet is first godmother,
you are only second. 1t will be as l
said," Dora answered firmly.
All the suppressed jealousy in Fans
heart broke forth, and she cried fu-
riously:
Then 1 will not have anything to
do with it, I will either be first or moth
ing"
Then be nothing" Harry said
calmly. "Come, who will take Fans
placer"
mo one shallr' the child almost
shrieked, and ere they were aware of
her intention, or could prevent her, she
seized the innocent cause of her jeal
ousy from Dora's arms, and flung it
with all her force into the water.
A cry of horror broke from all pres
ent. and Harry, pushing Fan roughly
aside, tried to save the doll from its
watery grave, but too late, for one mo-
ment it rose on the surface, the next, it
sank, and was carried far away.
''Oh, my poor dollyr' Dora walled,
bursting into a fit of bitter weeping
Don't cry, Dora DEAR Violet muir
INJURED, kissing the bereaved mother.
''She is a wicked, naughty girl!''
With tagging footsteps, they wended
their way once more through the gar
den.
Mrs. Thorn was astonished to see the
woe-begone faces coming through the
grounds, and went hastily to know the
cause.
They briefly related to her what had
happened, and as she listened the kind
smile faded from her face.
She gave Fan one sharp glance, and
was about to speak, but suddenly
checking herself, remained silent, in
stead cheerfully inviting them to par
take OF the tea SO temptingly arranged
to surprise them.
But in spite of her efforts to make
them happy, she could not quite shake
off the gloom from the little party; the
sad end of poor dolly had thrown a
shadow over the days pleasure.
Fan, for very shame keeping apart
from the others, felt more uneasy at
her mothers silence than if she had re-
ceived severe scolding; she wondered
vaguely what Mrs. Thorn intended to
do, for look of determination shone
in the dark eyes when they rested on
the sullen face of her little daughter.
But she was not long left in doubt.
After weeks stern silence, her moth
er one day announced her intention of
sending Fan away from her sisters and
brothers to school, until she had cor
rected her one bad fault, and could live
in peace and love with them. So in
spite of her tears and prayers, Fan was
taken to school at some distance off
And it was not long before, gentle
and loving, she returned, all her jeal-
Gus envy gone; and now she looks back
with surprise and regret at the wicked
conduct which had so spoiled Dora s
fete.

Lost Atlantis,


NJ. E. F. Berlioux, professor of geog-
raphy in the faculty of letters, Lyons,
has just published a learned work en-
titled lies Atlantes: Historic de Fat
lantis ct de IAtlas Primitif, ou Intro
duction rHistoire de L Europe Paris,
Ernest. Leroux, 1898, PIP. 10, Svo).
The question of Atlantis rests upon an
Egyptian tradition related by Solon
and preserved by Plato in the I'll
m3sn and the "Critias." For all the
events related in this tradition, the
dates and the geographical positions,
there is always a double interpreta-
ton, one giving to the statements ex-
aggerated meanings, the other regard
ing them as ordinary facts accessible
to discussion. Now students have con-
sidered the subject from the first point
only, regarding Atlanta as q continent.
in the center of the Atlantic Ocean,
from which a great expedition was
made 5000 or 10000 years before
our era, and which was one day en-
quilted in the sea. In this form the
legend is so seductive to the imagina-
ton as to place patient research out of
question. Even those who have given
any historic value to the narrative have
placed the events so far back as to an
tedate criticism
In fact, the lands of the Atlas are
not only rich in souvenirs found in
books, but they are filed with monu-
ments, some of which belong to the
most remote ages of which it becomes
us to study the history. The dolmens
are more numerous than those of Ar
morica, and 1t is here that we must
seek one end of that long line of me-
galithic monuments whose other ex-
tremity is to be found in India. The
tumui mark a second epoch, and their
lines are not arrested BY the ocean,
they reappear on American soil. Along
side of these rude structures appear
the remains OF others belongin to a
still higher civilization. Indeed, M.
Merloux has sought to reconstruct the
history of this northeast African land.

fAsSA1C, N, j., EeD. l, 1854.
To the Publisher of The Pilot-DEAR
SIR:-I wish to make known through
your highly appreciated and widely cir
culated Journal, why it is that my wine
cannot be had from Druggists by the
Pint or Quart &C., drawn from the Cask.
1t is because there are so many un-
principled men in the business that I
dare not trust my wines to be dealt out
III that way and remain pure. Unless |
have some security against its adultera-
ton, too many men would make two
bottles out of one by adulteration, as the
wine l. 50 rich that it will stand that, and
even more, and yet sell for my pure wine,
and not be noticed by those who have
been using California Port Wine. The
only security the public have in getting
my wine pure. is for me to bottle it and
aiiix my signature over the cork of each
bottle. The price at one dollar per bot
tie is no more than it would be in bulk
except the cost of the bottling, cork and
label.
| would be glad to sell it by the barrel,
could L be sure of its being dealt out to
consumers III its pure state. l found
years ago by experience that the only
way the public could get my wine was to
seal every package, with my signature
over the stopper.
Not long ago ago druggist in Trenton.
n. j., was approached by a customer
who wanted bottle of Speer's Port
Grape Wine for his sick wife, ST have
it" said the druggist, who at once re
paired to the cellar and shortly came up
with bottle part filed and corked and
no label, aud delivered it to the customer
for Speer's Port Grape Wine. That
customer took it home, it made his wife
sick, he afterwards showed the wine to a
physician who declared it was nothing
like Speer's wines, but miserable stuff
palmed of instead.
This shows the necessity of taking
every precaution to insure method by
which consumers may be sure when they
get my wine. Yours Respectfully,
r Spr7rD
