BISMARCK'S WISDOM.
Pointed Sayings Extracted from a Recent
Letter of the Chancellor's.

: The beginning of everything is difficult
am prepared for everything God sends.
So to say political swimming drawers.
The word German" instead of ''PrussianS
1 would fain see inscribed upon our flag.
l have to live in strife, by virtue of matters
which are, on both sides, purely of this earth.
This tendency of the policy of the Middle
States will reappear with the constancy of the
magnet after every transitory oscillation. 1
also have already asked myself this question,
and the answer received was that change is
the soul of life.
1t all depends how life ripens the nature of
one or the other-with worm holes, with sun,
or with wet weather, bitter, sweet, or rotten.
political party cannot exist by merely tame
ly standing on the defensive, much less gain
ground and supporters
A style of speech which goes so far beyond
the needs of the moment expresses either moth
ing at all or wells that which one does not wish
to say.
Nothing beats an inquistor in ones own
camp, and among friends who have long eaten
out of the same dish there is more injustice
done than against foes; men are not to be re-
lied upon, and l am thankful for every impulse
which drives me into myself.
AS u statesman | am not according to my
feelings, sufficiently indifferent; cowardly
rather, and that because it is not easy in the
questions which come before me always to gain
that inward clearness of vision on whose soil
confidence in God springs up
In this latter case l should not consider my
self called upon to orphanize my important
business and the chimney corner in my red
study for the purpose of sticking fast in the
snow near Halle aud afterwards under the
heading of 'Peope, Mobiles, Bailiffs, and Priests"
to enliven the great ensemble OF the white
Hall" with nuanee of costume
AS God willsl After all everything here is
only a question of time, nations and ndividu-
ais folly and wisdom, peace and war; they
come and go like the waves but the sea remains
There is nothing on this earth but hypocrisy
and jugglery; and whether fever or grapeshot
tear off this leshy mask fall it must sooner or
later The stupid and the clever, too, look
pretty much alike when their bones are well
picked.
The Indianapolis journal., 1884-04-26
Supporting Herself,

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in May st. Nicholas
Girls, first make up your mind that you will
be something! All the rest will follow What
you shall be comes more easily and clearly in
due time.
"A girl of thirteen cannot decide, with any
discretion or any assurance, whether she will be
a sculptor or wash woman, a farmer or poet;
but she can decide distinctly whether it is her
wish or her duty, after leaving school or college,
to remain dependent upon her parents or to fit
herself for self providing life.
''The education by which you mean to get
your bread and butter, your gloves and bonnets,
is very different affair from that which you
take upon yourself as an ornament and an inter
val in life. The chemical experiment which you
may some day have to explain to pupils of your
own is quite another thing from the lesson that
you may never think of again The practice in
your dealings with live flesh and blood Gus
toners, becomes as interesting as a new
story. The dull old rules for infection
and enunciaton fairly turn into poetry
if you hope to find yourself a great public reader
some coming day. And the very sawdust of the
French or Latin grammar becomes ashes of roses
to the stout little fancy that dreams of brave
work and big salary in some foreign department
at Washington, or tutoring girls or boys for col
lege AlloVer the terrible ocean, among the lawless
sailors, the men with wives and children TO work
for are those who lead the gentest and cleanest
lives So, on the great ocean of school life, the
girls with aims to study ferare those whose labor
is the richest and the rpest All! you will never
realize till you have tried it what an immense
power over the life is the power Of possessing
distinct aims The voice. the dress, the look,
the very motions Of person define .and alter

How God Answered.

Advocate and Guardian
IL saw Father Perkins go by this morning; he
has made long trip this time" said Mr. Keane,
as he pushed back his chair from the dinner
table
80, mother, may go over and see him this
afternoonP and the sightless eyes of little Davie
were turned pleadingly toward his mother, un-
conscious of the pain which the words in which
his request was framed gave her
''Yes," she answered, ''and you shall take him
a basket of the cakes fried this morning"
The basket was soon filled, and Davie started
off in fine spirits No one would have thought
him blind if they had not seen his eyes, for
his foot never stumbled in the way.
The country for miles around was as familiar
to him as his fathers garden; he
had learned it by heart in his constant rambles
before the terrible blackness had shut it all
away from him two years before the time of
which we write Many of these rambes he had
taken in company with Father Perkins, as he
was affectionately called who was one of the
earliest of the noble band of devoted ministers
who left positions of honor and advancement in
the East for a life of trial and discomfort in the
West.
In one only earthly pleasure did he indulge

ELMER HENDRICKS. Ks.-Your work is thankfully
received
SEE U. u writes: Herewith hand you ans
wers to puzzles in the Journal of April 8. 1 see
that it is a great scheme of 'Ermina's' to fill up
the puzzle column with her work, and thus she
is enabled to send in a complete list with very
little trouble to herself. OF course it is all right
but the rest of us must pitch in and help fill up

for the printer, must be written on a separate
slip of paper from any answers or other writing.
Each combination definition must be num-

length. A close adherence to these rules, on
your part, would make your manuscript very

Rev. Robert Coyer in New York Mail and Express.
''Do 1 believe that new religion will arise in
the far off future that shall embrace all the ex-
cellences of the various religions of today
Hardly We hear much talk about the con
yergence of the religions of to-day. The Catho-
lie and the Protestant religions do not draw
nearer together. Jesuit from Canada visited
Eliot, a strong Puritan, 200 years ago When
s. the Jesuit was about to depart Eliot said: My
friend, / am surprised to find how many
things really have in common L do
not think a Jesuit from Canada or any
other place could now visit the most liberal of
popular ministers, and find as many things in
common Does the attitude which Mosignor
Capel and other Catholic prelates have
taken toward the Protestant church look like an
amalgamation of the two churchesl Does the
jew worship on Sunday and believe in the Trim
ity? Still, believe there are good times com
ing, when men will not fall out on account of
opinion, but will meet on a common basis of
manhood and intelligence
Although scarcely expect a unifcation of
religions, it is true that there will be a unifca-
ton of the various denominations. There will
come together the broad church of the Episcopa-
ians; the sunny side of the Presbyterians: the
Baptists who don't stay down too near water, so
as to get waterlogged; the Methodists who don't
think their discipline is bigger book than the
Bible and the Congregationalists who are not
buried under the burial hill platform. To speak
more explicitly, mean that the finest and most
thoughtful men in all these de
nominations are giving up the old
doctrine of the literal Interpretation of
the Bible They are bearing down more lightly
on Sinners when they come to talk about eter
nal punishment They are coming into another
and better view of the doctrine Of atonement
Great numbers of them are doubling the doc
trine of the Trinity as it used to be insisted on.
They are trying to make the boundaries of their
ereeds wider, more generous, to let more sun
shine into their churches. There is going
to be a great body within not very
long time that will agree upon broader and
more liberal Interpretation of the whole
body of the Christian religion discard
cid creeds and adopt new ones that are
more reasonable and. therefore more acceptable.
The Catholics and Protestants will never come
together. Still the Catholics are growing more

The Belief of Mormon Women.

Helen Hunt in May Century.
The two doctrines which most help the Nor
mon woman to endure the sufferings OF plural
marriage are the doctrines of pre-eXistence and
of the eternal continuance of the patrarchal or
der. The mere revelation from Joseph Smith, to
the effect that polygamy was to be permitted and
was praiseworthy and desirable, would never
alone, have brought the Mormon women to
hearty acceptance of the institution.
They are taught and most unquestioningly
believe, that the universe is full of spirits wait
ing impatiently, to be born on this earth. These
spirits have already passed through one stage Of
discipline and probation, and are to enter upon
a second one here. The Rev. Edward Beecher
once published book setting forth similar
doctrine. The Mormon doctrine goes further
than Dr. Beechers, inasmuch as it teaches that
these spirits may select of their own free
VIII where and how they will be born into
their earthly probation; and that they are
one and all, anxious to be born in the Mormon
Church, as the one true Zion, where alone are
| to be found safety and salvation. They also be-
heve that the time is limited during which these
being born INTO Zion. They look for the return
of Jesus Christ to the earth before long, and for
the establishment then of the millenial dispense
ton, after which no more of the spirits can be
reborn and reclaimed. Hence the obligation
resting upon every faithful Mormon woman
to bring into the world, in the course of her
life, as many children as possible Not only
does she thus contribute to the building up
and strengthening of the true church. but she
rescues souls already existing and in danger Of
eternal death. 1t is easy to sneer at this doc
trine as inconceivable rubbish; and in TRUTH it
must be admitted that it is hard to conceive of
an educated mind receiving it; but it is no more
absurd or unprovable than hundreds of kindred
speculations and notions which have been de-
vised, preached and passionately believed in
times past. Neither has the absurdity or non
absurdity, falsity or truth of the belief, any
thing to do with our judgment of its believers
