he sings always with "a voice pitched after

"Of course, such birds are very eXpen-

having learned a second song, he brought
$500 and finally, finished master of three

chase him now for love or money, he
knows so many songs and whistles such a

conversational powers.
'"rhe birds learn to sing in German,

BIsMAKCKs RELIGIOUS BELIEF
A Rude Foundation of a Faith on which
superstructure Has Never Been
Reared

From tie EdadurGd Reyie'c.
belief in God, in divine order of the
world, and in a personal existence in a
future state, and, TO II certain extent, in
revelation, seems TO form Tor him sort OF
rade basis of religious belief, with which
he has remained satisfied without raising
on it the superstructure Of any definite
creed. In religion, as in politics, he con-
fesses that he has arrived at successive
stages of development. In the days when
he was known as the tOlle Junker be was
first nationalist and, apparently for
some time, an unbelleyer. Then for sew
eral years he went through severe physi-
cal, moral an even pecuniary trials, and
felt desire TO seclude himself from so
cicty, and even at one time had design
Of emigratmg and retiring to the Polish
forests with his lastfeW thousand thalers in
his pocket and commencing life anew as
farmer and sportsman. As he APP
preached his Both year psychical change
came upon him, which was probably due
in part TO the influence OF the young lady
VINO became his wife in 1871. This lady,
Johanna Won Puttkamer, was the daugh-
ter of Nether-Pomeranian landowner,
and both her father and mother, being
people of fervent MOrayian spirit OF
piety, opposed themselves TO the be-
trothal of their daughter with one so noted
for his wild habits as the" Mad Squireen."
Goethe has shown IN the 'StOry Of a Fair
Soul" how he could be affected by the sim
pie pIety of a Quakeress; and Bismarck
was, it Is probable, more deeply inilu-
enced. After the accession, too, OF Fred
eric William ". there WAS great in
crease of piety, or aJ least of pietism, in
the higher circles Of Prussian nobility.
The spiritualism Of Schleiermacher bad
displaced the railroads.&c. influence Of
NOltaire and Rousseau. RatiOnalism came
in polite circles to be considered some
what vulgar, and was associated with
revolution; and even philosophy in the
grabbed phrascOlOgy of Hegelianism not
only was made an instrument for under
mining all existing institutions, but APP
peared to be pre-eminently unRsthetic. A
religious and unctuOus phraseOlogy was
the fashionable protest against new Hege-
lianism and revolution. Bunsen, Stahl
and Gerlach were in vogue, and the doe
trine of original sin and OF the corruption
Of human nature WAS employed to ex0r-
else the spectre OF anarchy.
