The Friends (Quakefs) in England,
it is said, are decreasing in numbers
quite rapidly.

We infer from what we read in the
columns of some OF our esteemed con-
temporaries, that they think the closing
of barber shops on Sunday will prevent
the male portion of the population from
having clean face on the Sabbath. If
it were so 'twould indeed be hardship.
But there is no law against mans
shaving himself on Sunday morning,
which has been the good New England
custom for two hundred and fifty years.
Not more than halt of the men use the
razor at all nowadays; and of that half
not one in twenty depends on the barber,
while not one in hundred need do so.
Most of the political and secular
journals do not care a rush about tenn
perance, per Sc; but they watch its move
ments with eager interest as far as they
may be expected to affect politics. The
attention they are giving to the third
party" and the disinterested advice they
are offering it, imply conviction that
this new organization is already power
in the land. But the drollest of all the
political phenomena of the time is the
anti.saloon party" among the Repub-
licans. When ship sinks it all sinks;
and in that day the anti-saloon Repub-
licans will find themselves at the bottom
with the rest.
The Political Science Quarterly, is
sued under the auspices of the new de-
partment of Columbia College, is the
direct fruit of the recent attempts in this
country to separate the science of pol
itics from the management Of parties.
Thus far the topics discussed are rather
remote from home interests; but the
spirit that pervades the articles and the
ideas that appear in them, show that the
new dispensation has come. The journal
will not be likely to pay, except in the
sense in which the college itself pays
by the dissemination of just views and
the production of contingent of men
whose opinions are worth something, be-

Newspaper correspondence has risen
in importance in recent years as much as
it has grown in breadth, Every enter
prising newspaper makes point of print
ing frequent letters from bright and able
writer's, located at prominent centers, in
which the cream of the gossip is whipped
up into more or less snowy and appe-
tizing confection. Sometimes legitimate
matter for such use runs short; particu-
larly when the same correspondent sup
plies two or three different papers. What
some of the most versatile of these gem
tlemen do under such circumstances, is
revealed by Robert Waters, author of
'How TO Get on in the World" who says
that he finds in the Cincinnati Enquirer
four letters, amounting to twelve col
umns, from the prolific pen of Gath"
which we're taken, solid, from Mr.. Waters

vindicated his prophetic powers.
What shall we say of the man and his
work +? He was a spiritual enthusiast,
type of those great souls needed in ev-
cry age to startle the world with the
intensity of their moral life. He was
extravagant, but that seemed the one
thing needful to the moral regeneration
of Florence. He was deluded as to his
powers, but that charge always lies
against great souls. They do not weigh
and measure their words. They lead
the way through tangled forests, and
let others do the clipping and the trim
ming. Undoubtedly in his last days,
there is evident the movings of par
tial insanity. Little wonder if the fiery
soul had brok en- down its own instru-
mentalities, and had fallen back upon
itself. Whatever may be said of him,
in criticism, this must be allowed, he
was a grand, faithful Christian soul, a
true follower of the Master. The good
he did is incalculable, and if with it he
wrought some evil, that was insepara-
BILE from the times in which he lived.
He is one of the saints of the church
universal, and one of the heroes of the
human race

When adverse winds tight keenly blow,
IVhan esarn af4l liofion,a rraen xuo bpow

when adverse winds right keenly blow,
When stern afiiction's grasp we know,
Her terch when persecution whirls,
When envy lifts her shaky curs.
Thrice happy he. whose soul resign'd,
Unmoved can see the torrents run,
Can say, his eye to heavn inclined,
Thy viii be DONE"
o life, thy roses thorns unfold;
o death, thy grasp is fearful cold:
With riches come unnumbered cares,
With poverty ten Thousand snares.
Then where can happiness be fouud2
Nor in the cot nor phrple throne;
Herein doth happiness abound,
Thy will be done"
When blasting winds blow cold and bleak,
With longing eye aud sunken cheek,
When haggard famine stalks around,
When war triumphant stains the ground,
When the sad mother beats her breast
To see her babes last sigh is drawn,
o, what can soothe her soul to rest?
sThy wiIfbe done"
iTis this can still the Gdverse gale,
'Tis this can bid wan famine hail,
'Tis this can soften wars alarms,
'Tis this opposing rage disarms.
This plucks the thistle from our road,
when life's delusive joys are gone
'Tis this will raise the soul to God;
"Thy will be done"
If the reader will overlook the crude
metaphors, and try TO forget the figure
of Persecution whirling her torch at
him, and Envy's curls-each one a
snake Missing spite, and will surrender
himself to the drift of this hymn, he
will see much in it to carry the feelings
of the heart, though he probably would
not be likely to attempt to sing it.
One more selection must suffice. 1t
shows US how Scotch Universalists,
sixty years ago, consoled themselves
and endeavored TO convince others
in their hymns, Of the truth of their
principles:
The various sects desre to know
Why we do love this doctrine so,
And what advantage4hey should gain
Did they believe whafwe maintain.
Can these questions be put in palmer
shape in unrhymed prose? And here
is the explicit answhr:
This great ADVANTAGE thence is provd,
We lind that God issrnore belov'd,
That all hard the'tsof him are fed,
Nor trouble more the heart or head.
The Scriptures here do all agree,
And are from contradictions free;
The promises and threatenipgs too.
Appear consistent. Just and true.
Hereall those warm contentious cease
That have disturbedthe church's peace,
Concerning our Redeemer's will,
When he his blood f{ir men did SPILL
Here wisdom, power and love combine
In full perfection, 70 design
And execute the glorious plan,
To help and save poor ruind man.
This system makesps love mankind,
Makes as to all gootf works inclind;
It teaches Us Tor al : pray.
And seek their welfare every day.
The sentiment in these hymns is al
ways admirable, though not always
couched in faultless phraseology, and
it is difficult to read-and would be still
more difficult to sing without
finding the heart moved where some
times the head criticised, and at other
times the head convinced where the
heart was untouched. 1t is an interest
ing collection of logic and sentiment,
prose and poetry, and gives glimpse
of the way the earlier and more uncult-
ured of our church began to ''lisp in
numbers

He Was Her Husband

"Uncle Stead" says the Rockland
Courier-Gazette is what they called
a shrewd old gentleman who used to
live in Winthrope, a little way out OF
village, up the side of the pond near
Readfield. One of his fellow citizens
was a man named Lovejoy. Uncle
Stead met Lovejoy in the village one
day, and said to him; Lovejoy,
there's poor woman lives
an lives out on the edge of the town
that needs some provisions. I'm will
ing to supply her, but I've sold my
horse and have no means of getting
the stuff to her. Now I'll buy her a
barrel of flour and some other supplies
if youll carry them out to her with
your team"
Loveioy said certainly, he'd be very
glad to do it. Accordingly, Uncle
Stead bought barrel of flour, han,
a bucket of sugar, &c, and telling
Loveioy where the woman lived, sent
him off on the errand of charity with
the good things in his pung
LOveioy easily found the house where
the woman lived. He unloaded the
goods. putting like a grampus as he
rolled the barrel of flour in, and said
to the woman; MIR. Steadman sent
YOU the provisions. He's mighty
kind-hearted man to send you all these
things"

man in surprised accents. "He's my

docility and weight, no breed combines
these qualities in so high degree as
