eulrrIy4 RESPONSIBILITIES.

Mr. Herbert Spencer, in his recent paper en-
filled The Coming Slavery expresses an APP
nrchension that English society, and perhaps
modern society generally, is tending toward a
dismissed Socialism through its growing DISPOSE
tiou TO approve State interference in all direc-
tions. If MI Spcnccrs forecast may seem cX-
aoceratcd in some respects reflection will show
that il has serious grounds. The tendency
which he regards as 50 dangerous and which is
o+ least as marked in this country as in Eng
land. is really the effect of n general ana m
crcasing inclination to shift individual rcspon-
sibility upon the State. The great development
ofthc corporate principle which has occurred
during the last quarter Of century Is an To-
d;roct illustration 0fthis tendency, and the al
rcction of legislative experiment affords direct
evidence of the same movement. For several
wears there has been Il feeling that the Govern
mcnt should do much more for popular educa-
tiop. This sentiment, moreover appears to have
for its correlate the idea that parents should be
ovnected To do less forthoT children. We are
ali 80 busy that we have not time for anything
that can be done in community way. The
democratic theory Of the day seems to revert
toward primitive methods, and while society i
Incoming more complex continually, We appear
~ crovitate more and more toward centraiza-
ton in the ordering of life.
No doubt one cause Of all this is the in
creas. Of the desire to live fuller individual
lives. With the diffusion of education comes
impaticnce of sOrdid cares, and longing fol
cmoncipation from them. so also the fever %
business life causes intolerance of matters
which demand rcile, non, yet which are only in
directly profitable, and there is disposition t.
releQate all such matters TO some Official o.
| bureau. But the danger consists Ill the ILLUSION
that governments, which are after all merel!
aggregations Of individuals, can perform socla
or commercial functions in any way better thai
private citizens. Of course this illusion Is du
TO slovenly thinking and to the very humal
tendency to create superior powers in what
ever is vague and indefinite. The suggestion
that Smith, Brown and Jones could do this o
that better than their neighboB would b
instantly secuted; butprOpose that the govern

The Ladies' Club.

Very pleasing and satisfactory was
the musicale given by the Ladies' club,
at Academy hall, Tuesday evening. A
choice and well selected program of
twelve pieces was heightened to eigh-
teen, bv reason of additions and en-
cores. So thoroughly enjoyable was
the entire performance, that it would
indeed be hard to speak in detail of
its merits, which were testified to most
heartily 10y large and enthusiastic
audience. With so good material at
home it would seem unnecessary to
import musical talent; and if the club
are as well satisfied with their work,

them, it will not be the last time ouI
people will have the pleasure of listen

An Interesting Service.

1t takes the little folks to draw the
crowd. Last Sunday evening "A very
large audience gathered at the South
church to listen to Il concert exercise
by the Cold water army. The exer-
cises consisted of recitatiOns and sing
ing by the children, a report by the
secretary, brief addresses by 5. II.
Bracket and Rev. G.. w. jenkins, and
two pieces sung by the church choir.
Notwithstanding the length of the
meeting and the fact that many of the
recitati0ns could not be heard, it was
of marked interest. The diagram
shown by Mr.. Bracket, in which the
amount expended for liquors, tobacco,
breadstutfs and missions was compared,
was striking illustration of the waste
attendant upon the production of arti-
cles that go simply to satisfy the pas
sions and appetites. Mr.. Bracket also
exhibited phial of proof spirits which
he had distilled from a single glass OF
! home made beer such as used to bt
| sold on Railroad street, and which i:
sold there yet, if report is true, not
| withstanding the agreement made by
the trustees with the selectmen.
