Already, long ages ago, it was discov-
cred by experience that a tribe or nation,
and every member thereof, would better
serve his own prosperity and success by
generally telling the truth than by tell
ing f~alschoods, so nine times out of ten
be would tell the truth.
The confusion that would arise were
every one to tell nine f~alschoods to one
truth is uncomfortable. The man who
had peer placed on sentinel duty, when
asked whether he had seen the enemy,
woukl answer no, although he knew the
enemy TO be within the hearing Of his
voice The mother would tell her child
that certain herbs, which she knew
to be poisonous, were good to eat
the child would eat and die.
The father would deny his ability to
provide food for his family, though but
an hour before he had slain a buffalo or
a deer, Telling the truth sometimes,
and most Of the time, is an absolute
necessity, depending not on theological
injunctions, but on the very existence Of
life. our rude forefathers Of the pre-
historic age we're aware of this fact and
they cnunciated the general principle
that it is wrong to lie. This is a scien-
tihe generalization. II is a law deduced
by experience and observation from a
great number of facts, and it is as justly
entitled to be considered a generalization
as Newton's law of g~ravitation or Pas
calls principle Of hydrostatics. The ex-
pcrience of nations and of ages has firmly
established this principle; it is incor-
porated into all codes of morals. -[Selim

John Russell Young. lately United

nese government is not disturbed by
Americas anti Chinese immigration ac-
ton. The government prefers that its
people should stay at home, and is only
concerned that the Chinese who are adj
mitted to foreign lands shall be protected
in their rights equally with other people.

much attention to %memorizing the sayings

pressed some surprise at the neglect by
Chinese scholars of what we consider so
important to a proper knowledge Of men
and things, a memter of the ministry
replied, We'll, we can do nothing about
It; it is nothing to us. That is your civ

The Railway Age contains an interest
ingarticle showing that there is an i'm
mense mileage of new roads called for and
certain to be built within a short time.
Railroad building, which had reached
extraordinary proportions in 1882, fell
oil suddenly, until at the commencement
Of the present season it almost ceased.
Nevertheless, in spite of the difficulty of
obtaining money for railway investment
the need Of more roads in some sections
was so great hat several small lines were
pushed along in spite Of the tight money
market. 1t is shown that there are 2O7
lines in progress, with a total mileage Of
9,24s, while 419 roads are proposed with
an aggregate mileage of 35,145.
A marked feature is the awakening in
the southern states, where 17S lines with
an aggregate Of over 1900 miles are re
ported. The year opened with gloom
and depression in business circles, but
now confidence has been so far restored
that capitalists are becoming eager to in
vest in railway building, and the remain
ing three months of 1885 are likely to
witness a still greater movement in that
direction. ~ Exchange.

I'll tell you what | believe. l believe
the man doesn't live who can afford to
be careless about the future, about his
religion. 1t is the biggest thing he will
ever be called upon TO deal with. His
first smoke, his first pair of red-top
boots, his sheepskin, his marriage, his
first baby-none Of these is any com
parison to the immensely and importance
Of this future business. 1t is the Jumbo
of all human existence, and a man
shouldn't let it walk ON him. | believe,
furthermore, that men shouldn't be
afraid to talk about this thing.
Why, it is almost a forbidden subject in
ordinary conversation. People act as if
it was not fit to mention. They
steer clear of it, both in their
thoughts and their conversation,
and if a chap who has thought
about it begins to talk in its
direction he is at once frozen out and
made to understand that it is tabooed.
OF course. one man can't think out n
others religion for him-or, at least, he
ought not to but the trouble is that, as
nobody talks of it, nobody thinks of it
and minds u to pennies, per cents,
profits, %follies, and falderols, and mill
ions Of people go along through life
without giving an hours thought a year
to the most ~stupendous thing in the uni
verse. =lChicago Herald Barber"

One might almost say that athletics
had at once destroyed literature on the
one side and religion on the other. The
audience or congregation is the test of

Moody and Sankey can draw the audi

matches. The arrival of the pope, or OF
Sturgeon, or the mahdi, or The Great
Mogul, would not draw as many people
as go to one of the big horse races at
Sheepshead bay or Monmouth park.

A curio store that most delights my
heart is kept by one Hari Shin, a Japan
csc gentleman OF the old school, who
still shaves lis hair in a strip across the
top Of his head and turns it forward in
the gun hammer cue Of the ancient
samurai. hari Shin, despising modern
ways and business signs, simply hangs u
huge sword over his gateway, and leaves
one to stumble in accidentally upon "a
rubbish and lumber-room and take it
into his head TO pursue his way across
the garden unguided.
Hidden away back there is n room full
Of old saddles and state kagos or palan-
quins; a niche full of old banners and
spears; an apartment piled high and
hung with old dresses, brocade dra-
peries and uniforms; rooms filled with
carved and gilded Buddhas; divine
kwannons more or less battered and
worn, and rooms Of old china, old
lacquer and old w~ood-carving. The last
room looks upon Il little garden, which
holds, Of course, its miniature pond
crossed by a stone bridge; its stone Ian
tern under the shadow of a tree at the
waters edge, and bronze storks and
stunted pines along the slope of the small
mountain, c%unningly represented at M
end. Across the garden are three more
rooms Of armor, coins and all kinds of
ancient things, and a second story re-
peats all the labyrinth of rooms filed
with more and more curios.
