A Glass OF Human beings Who Are OF Ne
Use to the World.
There is an old Scotch provcrb which has
lesson of wisdom contained within it.
He that would eat tie kernel maun crack
the nut" How much trouble might have
been and would be saved If people did not
envy the nuts that other people crack, and
determine greedily to possess the kernels
by fair means or foul If it were not ex-
asperatingly provoking it would be ludic-
rous land rather think it is any way to
see the swagger and bravado with which
some street loafer claims that he is ''just
as good as any body" and that he is "de-
sirous Of better treatment f" means money
mostly than he gets. A good many Of this
class who want to eat other peoples kernels
have lived lives as idle as that Of the Al
pine shepherd who spent fifteen years in
learning to balance pole on his chin, CT as
the King who employed himself in hunting
through his kingdom for o white mouse
with green eyes.
It is q crying shame to see great able
bodied men going about idly and disc0n-
contentedly cnvying the kernels Of the
nuts belonging to industrious people who
have cracked them. Socrates talked none
too strongly when he said: Envy is the
daughter Of pride. the author of murder
and revenge, the beginner Of secret sedi-
ton, the perpetual tormenter Of virtue.
Envy is the filthy slime Of the soul, YER
min, poison, a quicksilver, which consum-
eth tho flesh and dricth up the marrow Of
the bones"
And envy is the twin sister of covet-
BUSINESS. Spencer remarks: ut is one
property, which, they say, is required Of
those who seek for the philosophers
stone-shat they must not do it W tn any
covetous desire to be rich; for otherwise
they shall never find it. But most true
it is, that whosoever would have the jewel
Of coutentment (Which turns I'll into gold)
must come with minds Invested Of all am
bilious and covetous thoughts, else are
they likely never to obtain it"-Chrtstidn

that poor sleepers should pass as many

JUDAS iscARioT.

Speculation ~ to the Derivation Of H,s
Name and Legends Of His Birth.
There is no doubt or ambiguity with
regard to the earliest part Of Judas
IscariOt's name. Judas is merely ths
Greek or Helenistic form of the He
brew Judah, familiar to every body.
But '.IscariOt" is, as it has always
been, puzzle. At least half a dozen
interpretations of the word have been
suggested by philologists, but no one
of them is in all respects satisfactory.
The most seeming of their number 10
that the word is q condensed or cor
rupted form Of the Hebrew words '.Ish
Kerioth," meaning 1.-The man Of Ks-
ROTH" Kerioth being a village in
Southern Palestine, where. perhaps,
Judas or his family had their origin.
With regard to his birth, legend and
myth are as copious as is conjecture
with regard to his name. Here are
two Of them. for which we are imme-
diately indebted to Moncure d. Con-
way:
In the apocryphal Gospel of the In
fancy" it is related that demOniacal
boy, brought to the child Jesus, strikes
him, whereupon Jesus weeps and Satan
comes out of the boy in the shape of a
furious dog. This boy was Judas.
According to another legend. Judas
mother had a dream before his birth
that her son would murder his father
and sell his God. To avert this the
child was sunk in the sea, but was cast
on shore. He was adopted by King
and Queen, who had son, whom
Judas slew. He fed to Judea, became
the page of PLATE, and, after the pre-
destined murder of his father, learned
from his mother her dream. In terror
and contrition Judas hears Of a prophet
who forgives sins. When he throws
himself at his feet, Jesus recognizes
His predestined betrayer. accepts him
as a disciple. and intrusts him with
the purse so that Judas avarice might
be excited and the plan of salvation
not fail. Judas thus became heir an
parent to the Internal throng, and in
mural pictures of Eastern churches he
appears seated on q majestic Satan-
