The humorous remark that has been 60

In the event Of war between England and

who find 1t impossible TO understand ''tbese

conclusions. Beneath the Americans pro-
verbal greed for gain there is deeper feel

conduce to the advancement of civilization
and the continued elevation of the human
race. But the impending difficulty between
England and Russia is not one between

A New York clergyman last Sunday, prob

than the majority of his hearers when he
said shat our sympsthies would go with Esq
land, for while we may not forget that in the
time of need England di us injustice, we
still cannot forget that in her veins runs the
blood Of our forefathers." Even If Americans
were, generally speaking, of English ances-
try, 1t would not BY any means follow that
their sympathies would be with England as
matter OF course. The enmities of the
Revolution and of the later war with Eng.
land have not faded away any more than the
recollections of EDgland's course in our
civil war. But very large part of the
American people have no kindred ties what
ever with England and strictly speaking no
English blood flows in their veins. What

doubtful if the English gold that buys
American wheat can at the same time buy
American sympathy.

Sermons by Bishop Matthew Simpson of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. New
York: Harper & Brothers; Portland: Hoyt
Fogg & Donham.) While he lived, Bishop
Simpson was regarded as the foremost man
in the Methodist Church. He was also its
most able advocate and eloquent preacher.
Wherever he went, crowds listened to his
appeals which were clear, cogent, and effec-
tive. The sermons published in this volume
are twenty-five in number, and appear to
have been carefully selected They include
great variety of topics with but little repe-
tition. The style is plain, simple, direct and
demonstrative. The spirit of these discours-
es is excellent, and will not fail to win new
admirers for the author.
The primitive preacher of Methodisn,
went forth equipped for his work by one
copy of the Bible and another OF Wesley's
Sermons from which he learned most of his
theology and the art Of persuasion. If his
successor adds these Sermons to those of
Wesley. the church and the world will be
both wiser and better for the addition.

The Gear very kindly furnished Vienna
business firm engaged in the provision
trade, some very valuable points in regard 10
the attitude of Russia in the Afghanistsn
controversy which would undoubtedly have
enabled it to make great deal OF money bad
not its New York correspondent given
them away. The Gear confidentially in
formed the firm that he was really playing

listers that India really belonged to him, and
that they must get it for him 10 some way,

England to fight, no matter how reluc,ant
she might be. Naturally after receiving such
important information from such high au-
thority the Vienna firm went post haste to
a telegraph Office and telegraphsd their New
York correspondent the outline of the story,
and instructed him to ''buy wheat" But
the stupid New Yorker, instead of buying
wheat on the quiet blurted ont the whole
story, and gave the benefit of the Cars con
fdentisl information to lot of spectators,
who were hesitating whether to buy wheat
or not. Such is the purport of a dispatch
telegraphed through the country from New
York. Somebody there must think Ameri-
cans are an exceedingly gullible people.

The Rockland Opinion publishes a long
biography of the Hon. Eben F. Pillsbury,
adorned by wood cut of that distinguished
gentleman. There is no doubt that the
wood cut is faithful portraiture of Mr.
Pilisbnry. If the biographical sketch is.
then the general public, and we are inclined
to think Mr.. Pillsbury himself, have been
laboring under very erroneous impressions
in regard to him. Ii appears from this
sketch that during the war "Mr. Pilsbury
was one of the most earnest of class then
. known as war Democrats and did more
than any other man in his section of the
State to forward enlistments;'' that "during
the spring and summer of 1851 be devoted
almost his entire time to getting mp and adj
dressing war meetings aud inducing men to
enlist" that 'shundTeds of men were brought
into the services by his patriotic appeals;''
and "much indignation was felt and ex-
pressed, especially by soldiers, because he
was not called to a commando and much
more to the same effect. Later on, how
ever, Mr.. Pillsbury became very impatient
at the governments slowness in putting
down the rebellion, and was led into some
rather indiscreet talk in his newspaper, the
Franklin Patriot, which he now no DOUBT
most sincerely regrets. For instance, he
prophesied that Abraham Lincoln would
"shine and stink and stink and shine like a
rotten iDackerel by moonlight" character
lied a correspondents description of Mr..
Lincoln as s'cross between an ADdalusian
jack and a sand hill crane" as more truth
full than poetic; stigmatized the soldiers as
"Lincoln's hirelings;" characterized the
greenbacks as worthless shinplasters; de-
nounced the draft as the last resort of mo-
narchical governments; called upon the peo-
pie to turn out the "cIazy incompetents,"
meaning Lincoln aud bis cabinet, and in va
rions other ways manifested his Impotence
At the slowness Of the government in put
ting down the rebellion. The loyal people
OF Maine, not apprebending that this sort of
talk was the result simply of Impotence at
the siowness Of the government in putting
down the rebellion denounced Mr.. Pilsbury
as copperhead. Such he has been censid-
cred for twenty years, and such, we fear be
will be considered still notwithstanding the
Opinions glowing eulogy. It is too late to
Whitewash Ebep Z. PilIsbury.

article "Agnostic Metaphysics" he main
tanned that Mr.. Spencer had made deadly
assault upon everything hitherto known as
religion. Mr.. Spencer's reply is, that the
element of power in the divine nature is
that which lies beyond the grasp of intellect
the mysterious, the transcendsnt, the un-
known. The terms in which the Supreme
Being is habituaily addressed by devout
worshippers such as "the Inscrutable," 'tbe
UDseafchable," "the Infinite, "-suficiently
imply that the real object of reverence is be-
yond the reach of finite intelligence. The
ologians dispute about the Unity and the
Trinity of the Godhead and dogmatise over
the divine attributes. Under the forms of
criticism, they fall back upon the mystery
which battles reason. Many orthodox d.
vines of eminent Authority have declared
that God is inconceivable by the intellect of
man. But If the Deity is 'past finding out"
and "A God understood would be no God
at ell" then surely that which s'passes all
understanding is the real object of rever-
entail emotion. OF all we know, the sum is
N~-s~s @A1S pOWCk oAd POthiduCbSO VA AChEiVA
consist in the power and permanence of the
emotions which constitute it. When 1t is
said that religion is perennial in human ma
ture. it is simply meant that what has pro-
duced it mnst continue to produce 1t. Diff
ferent experiences generate their appropriate
feelings, and there is one aspect of mans re-
lation to the universe which originates the
feelings that are concerned with religion.
1T Is the impressiveness of its eublimities
and the iuexorableness of its omnipresent
order There are also influences fitted to
awaken the seriousness of feeling which
gives religion its sanctity and sacredpess.
The solemn realities of existence, The course
OF iDexplicable destiny, the mystery of mans
emergence into being, and his dread transit
into the dark unknown, give origin to those
sentiments of awe, fear, helpless dependence
and devotional reverence which have created
religion, and must maintain it, as long as
human nature lasts.

The Nature and Reality Of Religion. By

Ine nature ana Realty OF Religion. by
Herbert Spencer. New York; D. Appleton
&C.,, Portland: Hoyt, Fogg & Donham)
La the begiDning of last year, Mr.. Herbert
Spencer published an article unde- the title
of Religion: A Retrospect and Prospects,"
which was chapter from that division of
bis principles of Sociology" which treats of
the evolution of Ecclesiastical Institutions"
In that article he reviewed in a narrow COM
pass and a condensed statement the past ten
denotes of religious ideas, and aimed to de-
termine In what religious progress essentially
consists, and on the basis of these results
drew conclusions as to the direction and ex-
tent of further changes TO be expected in the
future. The questions began to be asked
anxiously, How far is this process to go?
Is religion to disappear as the final result?
Mr.. Spencer's view is, that it is to be one of
the functions of science in the future, as it
has been In the past, to dissipate the errors
that have become associated with religion,
and when this is done, its destructive work
will cease. He maintains, that while much
must be carried away which is still believed
to be an essential part of religion, there will
yet remain great truth lying at the founda-
ton of all religious systems, which science
cannot disturb, and which will continue,
when all the mistaken beliefs accompanying
it are swept away. Religion has its indie
pendent basis in a reality at the root of all
the diverse, discordant, and changing faiths
rrofassed bv mankind
Mr.. Spencer contends that religion con-
ssts In the feelings that are awakened in man
kind toward that Inserutable Power various
ly and imperfectly conceived as the Infinite
Being" ''The Spirit of the Universe" "The
Source of All Things" To grasp, snalyze,
formulate this Mysterious Power transcends
the reach Of intellect which is limited to the
understanding of the relative and the
finite, but the consciousness of it as an i'm
manent reality, though underlined, Mr.. Spen-
Ger maintains TO be indestructible in the
psychical nature Of man.
This view of Mr.. Spencer was attacked by
Mr.. Frederic Harrison well known as the
ablest English representative of "The POSI-
tive Philosophy" of Auguste Comte--in an
article entitled "a Ghost of Religion" and
the criticism continued in his subsequent
