ansepocllTasp oint of departure-in the
history of Il stage. The manager
must be studying his enormous, his
unprecedented success, aud preparing
to repeat the conditions which have
led to it: What are they Z? Let two or
three representative facts about Mr..
Irving illustrate. He has brought his
entire company and parapherneha,
to q titled stove and doors that
latch with a click like real doors, across
the ocean dragged them around this
country in a freight train of thirty r
loads; he has kept o young London
singer of distinction on a good yearly
sslary in order to sing him one song in
Much Ado About Nothing:' he has
spent thelarger part of everyday from1o
o'clock in tho morning to 4 in the after
noon, on the stage rehearsing with
his company, and some of his Oldest
actors have been known to be obliged
by him to go back and enter through o
door upon the stage seven times over
before sriting Mr.. Irving. Al day wa
thus spent upon Louis ri, before its
last performance here. This work tits
that has made the Irving performances
remarkable; that has made not less of a
stir in stage matters in England: that
brought the artists of the Coincide Fran
caise and the critics Of Paris, and even
the Meiningen Company, to Mr.. Irving's
feet to learn fliim and study his effects.

Forming a Good Lawn.

If about to form a new lawn, be it
large or small, it will pay you to make
a good job of it. Whether prepared by
pillow or spade, the land should be sub
soiled and care be taken to keep the
good, Or surface soil, ut the top, and the
subsoil in the bottom, as before. A
good dressing of twell-rotted manure is
highly beneficial. 1t should be turned
under, but kept within a few inches of
the surface. so as to be of immediate as
sistance to the young grass. When pre-
pairing the ground, it is well to remove
what rocks and stunps may be within C
foot Of the surface. This subsoiling
will not only be of lasting benefit to the
grass, but also to whatever trees
or shrubs are to be grown upon the
space. 1t will likewise lessen the severity
of Summers drought. 70 make really

have been removed the soil should be
firmly packedfrom tile bottom up;then
the whole surface of the lot should be
properly leveled, trod or rolled.
Whether we SOW or sod Il lawns, it
should be done a. early in Spring as the
ground is in mellow, working order, so
as to. give the grass a good
chance to get established before
the dry, warm Summer sets in.

Care Of an Asparagus Bed.

Samuel Hartwell said, i'll tho course
ofhis remarks before the Massachusetts
horticultural Society, that he had q

years, and which had yielded d netpro-
fit of 800 in one year. He usually man
ures in Spring, though the Fall might
be preferable, but the Spring is more
convenient because he collects most Of
his nanur in the Winter. 1t viii take

ana the finer it is the better. The bed

of the danger ofinjnring the roots. He
plows as early as the weather

or fortnight later, and as
late as possible without injuring the
shoots, goes over it with q bush harrow,
to make the soil fine. He cuts from
about the Goth Of May to the Goth Of
June, though some cut until the 4th of
July. The time depends somewhat on
how it sells, but too late cutting will in

ceasing to cut, and then goes over it

BUDDmA AND BUDDHISM.
MIR. BIanchard's Lecture Last Evenin,

MIR. BIanchRPd's Lecture Last Evening.
The Rev. Henry Blanchard delivered the
third lecture in his course on 1.-THE Great Re-
ligicrs OF the World," last evening, to large
audience.
The subject was "Buddha and Buddhism.
Beginning with a brief reference to the pre-
ceding lecture on Brahminism. Mr.. Blan-
chsrd said that Buddhism was to be regarded,
first of all, as protest against Brahminism.
Its key note is, man is the high hest being in the
universe; salvation is through the knowledge
of natural law. The way TO attain knowledge
is by the path of noble life This religion is
distinctly traceabe to founder-Sabya-Mee
ni-the Buddha. The speaker here gave an
outline of Buddha's life.
He was born about the year 543 B. G. He
was therefore contemporary with AConfuLius.
The SOD of king, he was greatly panied by
the condition of his fellowmen. immortality
everywhere prevailed. He was saddeDed by
the evil of the world He was troubled by
the change and decay of the outward universe.
He wished to find deliverance for himself and
all mon. He turned away, therefore, from his
fathers royal palace and from his beloved wife
to seek teachers who could show him the way
of deliverapce from evil. He sought the greatest
teachers among the Brahmins. He listened to
their teachings With reverence; ne Ob0yed
their rules of ssceticism. He did not find deliy-
erauce with them. He turned away, there
fore, from teachers and HASTINGS; he iourneyed
far and wide; he commenced with his own
soul. Seated beneath tree, one day, he be-
lieved that he had found the way of salvation.
He became tue man who knew-the Buddha
His secret was this; man Is delivered from sin,
nos by outward coed WORKS, but by inward self
renunciation. He would speak to his breth-
REQ. He would make them look within. He
would show them that they must know and
obey the laws of the universe. Not by priest
hood, nor penaBce, nor ritual, could they save
their souls. They must see the truth. They
must obey natural law. Henceforth he walked
among men as teacher and dsliverer. He
made converts Of his royal father and his wife,
he won multitude of followers by the gentle-
Dess OF bis spirit aud the persuasiyeness of his
Speech. Among the SOILS OF God he stands
nearest to the greatest-Jesus, the Christ.
Buddhism thus founded, became a feryent
missionary religion. Ii sought to convert the
world. Although finally driven from India. il
made converts ia Siam, CeS lon, Thibet
China ana Japan. IL is The religion TODAY of
nearly 400 900 600 OF the inhabitants of the
globe MIR. Blanchard here read two extracts
from EdN in Aruold's poem, "The Light of
Asa" illustrative Of Buddha's life. What
has THIS religion to say concerning God and
man aud lie aud destiny? 1t has no God. 1t
has worship and prayers and priests and
temples, bat 1t worships mantle Buddha
Buddha himself makes no reference to God
1t is not strange that he did not. The religion
The Portland daily press., 1884-11-12

against which he protested--B rshminisnl--
had made God everything, man nothing.
Buddha felt that IL man resided the power to
deliver him from evil. He was free. He vas
made to know. Buddhs, therefore offered no
eaerlhce ola no penance, uttered no prayer.
He relied upon himself There was no nsed
OF God. 1t followed, therefore, that By Bud
dhism man was exalted as he never has been
by any other ether religion. Accepting the
legends of the Gods, it taught that these
could not attain SO great height as man.
Buddhism, therefore, practically deifes man.
Concerning life, it taught the four Sublime
Truths" These were, first, all existence is
evil, because all existence is subject to change
and decay. Second, the source of this evil is
the desire for things which are to change ard
pass away. Third, this desire, and the evil
which follows it, are not inevitable; for, if We
choose, we can arrive at Nrvana, when bot
shall wholly cease. Fourth. there is a fixed
and certain method to adopt, by pursuing
which we attain this end, without possibility of
failure.
This method consists of the Eight
steps'-right belief, right Judgment, hight
utterance, right motives, right occupa-
ton, right obedience, right memory, right
meditation. Curiously enough, this religion
teaches the final blessedness Of all. LIS stops
are Karma, or the consequences of deeds,
TRANSPORTATION and Nirvaua. MIR. Blanchard
explained these terms and showed that Mir
vana is not annihilation, as is commonly sup
poeeu, ouG ll'0. DeyOnu the present. or inward
perfect peace. Both Max Muller aud Bunsen
confirm this statement. 1t is religion, there
fore, without God, but with the belief of
immortality reached through transmigration.
In conclusion the speaker compared Buddha
and Christ. He showed how the latter, great
as was the former, was the greater of the two.
Comparing Buddhism and Christianity, he
showed the superiority of the latter to the
former. 1t teaches that there is God and
Father who watches over and guides the
world. 1t teaches the equality Of mon be-
cause all are the sons of the one God.
Buddhism also teaches the equality of men,
but only because all alike share an existence
which is an evil Christianity teaches that
the world is beautiful and to be beloved-thaJ
heaven may begin here. 1t dignifes human
nature by its doctrine of Divine worship. 1t,
too, teaches men to seek the truth. II ennobles
by teaching selfreliance 1t demands study
of and obedience to natural law. 1t siren TIL
ems by teaching that when man is not sufficient
for himself, he can receive help from the
Infinite Power.

ligion of Persia" will be given on Tuesday,
