How Man Swears.

Webster's definition of an oath is: "a
solemn affirmation or declaration, made
with an appeal to God for the truth of
what is affirmed 1t seems to me that
Webster does not take into considera-
ton those people to whom the knOwl-
edge of God is very limited, though
they have crime and courthouses in
their midst. An oath is taken by them
without reference to supreme being.
For instance, in China the defendant
takes fowl. cuts its throat, and says:
eff l am not speaking the truth may l
die like that bird died." The Kalmuk
takes red-hot iron in his hand: if it
does not burn him, then he has spoken
the truth. Among the Ostiacks, in
western Siberia, the defendant takes
off with an ak the nose of a wooden
image, and says: IF [ do not speak the
truth, may lose my nose in the same
way, may the ak cut me in pieces, and
may my remnants be given to wild
beasts Therefore, Webster's defini-
ton can only be applied to civilized
countries. In Europe everybody swears
IN SIrlcC conformity Win the rites or
his religion. The Catholic with his
hand on the crucifix, the Protestant on
the Bible, the Jew on the Torah, the
Mussulman on the Koran, and so forth.
This reminds me of case in Europe,
where the defendant refused to swear,
and told the judge that he preferred in
stead to give his word Of honor. Being
questioned for his reasons he said:
"May it please your honor, when l
swear SO help me God, do not always
tell the truth, but when l give you my
word of honor then so help me God l
will tell the truth and nothing but the
truth
Darwin might have been right when
he said that all human beings are forced
to obey their instincts; and for that
reason, suppose, we see that Darwin's
monkeys are still monkeys in the
world. LEO.

The October Review of Reviews.

To theReUie,U of Rerie,Cs for October Mr. Stead,
the English editor, contributes one of his racest
character sketches, this time dealing with Mr..
GladstOnes new Cabinet in a bunch, so to speak,
| rather than with some single parsonage. The
article throws many bright side light on con-
temporary English politics. and hits off in Mr..
Steads fearless and always felicitOus manner
the twenty or more men who now lead the Liber-
al English hosts. Mr.. Shaw, the American edi-
tor of the ReUieD of ReUieUs, writes of two
Americans, Whittier and George William Curtis,
the article containing not only recent portraits
of these two eminent men, but also very inter-
esting pictures of them as they appeared forty
years ago. The early portrait of Curtis is from
painting by Lawrence, and the frOntspiece of
this number of the ReUielU of ReUie,cs represents
Mr.. Curtis as in the /" Easy Chair his cOntribu-
tons from which have delighted American read
ers for several decades.
The ReUie,U of ReUie,Us for October in various
ways recognizes the completion of four centuries
since Columbus discovered America, and the
preparations which are making to celebrate that
event during the present and the coming year.
Especial attention is given to the great Worlds
Congresses to be held at Chicago next year.
Perhaps the most important contribution that
any general periodical has recently made to the
literature of current religious movements and
tendencies is that which the RerielU of ReuieaOs
for October contains in the form of group of
articles brought under the generic title, Relig-
iOus Cooperation, Local, National and Interna-
tiOnal." This series of articles includes eight
brief papers, as follows: One by DR.. Strong, of
the Evangelical Alliance on Cooperation in
Practical Church Work; one by the Rev. DR..
Dana on Competition in Home Missions; one by
DR.. Washington GLADDEN. on the Municipal Idea
of the Church, one by Rev. Hugh Price Hughes
on National Christianity; one by the Count
D'Alviella on the Worlds Parliament of Relig-
ions at Chicago; one summing up the progress of
the "Cvic Centre - movement in England one
describing the progress of the " brotherhood of
Christian Unity movement in America; and,
finally, one reviewing the recent English relig-
iOuS conferences on the reunion of churches,
held at Grindelwald in Switzerland. Numerous
portraits accompany these articles. Taken as a
whole, they show in most remarkable way how
strongly the movement is setting in toward
minimizing of UNCONVENTIONAL disagreements
and the growth of broad Christian cooperation
In their popular department. entitled 'The
Progress of the WOrld,'' the editors of the Re-
UieW of ReUielcs cover briefly and tersely the
eading topics that absorb the attention of Amer
due attention. and the English political situation
is quite fully discussed. Numerous maps, sketch
es and portraits make this October number quite
as interesting and entertaining as it's predeces-

Patience.

Patience is cOmmendable character
Dung America" it certainly is an en-
tirely unknown virtue. 1t has been re-
peatedly asserted, that we, as a nation,
are proud Of our constitutional excita-
bility and high nervous tention. That
there is great deal of truth in the
statement is beyond contradiction. An
impotence and desire for quick and
patent results, in whatever may be I'M
dertaken, is our chief aim and object.
TO illustrate: Young men enter into
the employ of large mercantile houses,
if they are not advanced to higher po-
sitiOn every three or six months, they
are firmly convinced in their own minds.
that their services are not appreciated
cOntented and resign, instead of thor
Oughly learning the methods of the
business and exercising a little patience
to wait for promotion, that would have
followed as surely as night follows day.
Others again establish themselves in
business, say upon limited capital, are
not satisfied with a fair and legitimate
return upon their investment, venture
beyond their means, and of course the
natural result follows viz: failure and
bankruptcy. Why is it that over ninety
per cent. of men engaged in business are
unsuccessful? In our Middle and West
ern States it is almost without excep-
ton, that the leading and successful
houses in all branches of trade, include
among the members of the firm or cor
pOratiOn, one or more of Germanic orr
gin or descent. The peculiar phlegmat-
ic temperament, patience and caution
possessed by the latter race, combined
with the vim, energy and shrewdness of
their American associates make sue
cessful firms. 1t is only by persistence,
perseverance, and patience that success
is accomplished in any vocation wheth-
er of business, professional or politi-
cal nature, and it must be conceded,
that patience is SO interviewer with the
other two that it is an impOssibility to
seperate them. The more thoroughly
the matter is examined the stronger is
the conviction that patience is vital
element of success. Men not possess
ing the latter will have but small pro-
portion of the former. Would it not be
well for us to cultivate the habit? 1t
certainly cOnduces not alone to success
but also to health and longevity.

ONLY A DREAM.

Last night as slept in my bunk,

Where eddying currents caught her
And there went Bob. n. Round!

And with food they made fair show;
Iney, mans cold reception did fear:
That progress in life might be slow
A basket of clothes had Sandy"
Jeans, drillings, and broadcloth and Dyed
And said. "they will come quite handy,
Upon reaching the other Side!''
Away from the bark still went one,
To the opposite shore he looks;

Whittier and Sullivan.

Recently I received copyof one of the
cleanest and most wholesome newspa-
pers in the country. The two first pages
were devoted to the Sullivan prize-fight,
and less than one column to the Quak-
er poet John G. Whittier, with still less
yet to the desperate struggle of the
health officers of New York against the
dreaded Asiatic cholera. Surely this
shows how far from civilization this
nation is. The newspaper was made to
suit the public taste. ThesLord help the
public taste! Whittier's memory will
take care of itself. He fought against
the worlds expressions and wrongs, and
against brutality and selfshness. Hence
forth the newspaper will be compelled
to give him honorable mention, and to
rehearse his honorable career; for the
school children of this republic will have
their "Whittier's Day." as they have
now their Longfellow's."
In the next decade of years, who will
know anything of Sullivan or his vic
tor? Who, of the present generation, can
tell anything of Heenan or MOrrissey :?
The next century will find the sweet
singer of New England still enthroned
in the hearts of millions. Listen to Sui
livans reflections: "Whiskey did this
meaning his defeat. What glorious
champion of the oppressed and defend
er of the weak might such Samson
have been! A. A. w.
