The Death Of Fear.

A curious and interesting pagan rite
was recently performed at Shikarpore,
India, and is described at some length
in native paper. The ceremonies
took place about hideous image of an
earthen god representing fear. The
image, huge out of all proportions,
wore an extremely dreadful appear
ance. About 1000 people assembled to
celebrate the death Of this god of
dread. An old woman was sitting by
the image, representing the mother of
the dreaded deity. A circle about fifty
feet in diameter was formed round the
image, in the midst of which moved
hundreds of spectators, men and wo-
men, crying at the top of their voices,
Gear is deadr' Fear is deadr' The
old woman near the image, on hearing
the death of her son, broke out into la
mentable strains, mourning the loss of
her beloved child, the god of fear.
Some women again, afraid, we should
think, lest the deity of fear might not
be actually dead, and might turn his
wrath against those who were shouting
his death, reverently approached the
idol, kissed his feet, and scattered full
labs upon it to propitiate its anger.
The moral which the natives draw
from this extraordinary ceremony is
not stated, nor are we told to what
cause they attributed the decease of the
god of terror; but for him who seeks a
moral it is sufficiently easy to draw one
in this age and land. Our nation has
of late years greatly given itself up to
rejoicing that fear is dead. 1t began
with the death of the fear of the king,
and went on until there remains rever-
ence for no authority whatever-unless
indeed the fear once directed in differ
emit channels has resolved itself into
consuming dread of being afraid OF be-
ing so. In this we are like the women
who tremble lest the god may after all
be only asleep, and who offer propitia-
tory offerings to appease his anger. We
fear fear; we dread lest we be betrayed
into reverencing something.
The effect of this death of fear is the
decay of authority. Tradition and law
are alike dependent for their power up
on reverence of which fear is at least
an essential ingredient, and in our day
both are falling away from their high
estate through the growth of bravado
and the decline of dread. The cere-
mony of SINGAPORE might well be re-
peated in the midst of our civilized
community, and it would by no means
lack pungent signiticance.-Boston
Courier.

Ruskin says: It is no less fatal
error to despise labor, when regulated
by intellect, than to value it for its
own sake. We are always in these
days trying to separate the two; we
want one man to be always working,
and another to be always thinking
and we call one gentleman and the
other an operative whereas the work
man ought often to be thinking and
the thinker often to be working, and
both should be gentlemen in the best
sense. AS tits, we make both uDgentle,
the one envying, the other despising his
brother, and the mass of society is
made up Of morbid thinkers and
miserable workers. Now 1t is only
by labor that thought can be made
happy: and the professions should be
liberal, and there should be less pride
felt in popularity of employment
and more in excellence Of achieve
ment. &t.EFtE

Il hear that a locomotive. known
as the Oakland, blew up the other day
on Che SharpviIIe railroad and killed
her engineer said Abel Garrett. a
veteran railroad man, "and that re-
minds me OF two singular accidents
that happened to the samelOcOmOtive.
In the spring of 1871 Charley Greene
was her engineer. Hewas backing
her toward Sharpville. Besides the
engineer and fireman a Weigher In one
OF the mines, named Reilly, was riding
in the cab When two miles from
Sharpville a COW suddenly ran out OF
the woods and jumped on the track in
front Of the tender. The tender struck
the COW and both it and the engine
We're thrown off the track. The tender
tumbLng down the bank on theon side
OF thetrack and the engine on theOther
side. She rolled over and plOwed her
dome into the soft ground and almost
up to the boiler. Reilly was killed and
the engineer and fireman badly hurt.
When the engine was raised there was
a big hole left in the ground where the
dome had buried itself, and it got to
be quite a landmark.
In the summer ten years later Bob
Logan was running the Oakland, and
one day he was backing toward Sharp
vile. At exactly the same spot where
the COW had appeared on the track in
1871 big hog came slouching from
the side OF the railroad and put itself
square in front Of the tender. The
truck struck it. and the tender was

position it had been thrown in before.
and the engine pitched off the other
side and tumbled over so that the
dome buried itself in the hole it had
made in thegrOund wheRit was thrown
down the bank ten years before. The
fireman was crushed to death at that
time. The odd part thislocomotiye's 5
end Is that it exploded almost on the
same spot where 1t met with its two
former nishaps.
