rROTWOOD'S MISCELLANY.

The greatest men OF history were non
men who refused to be
chained to the errors Of a creed and
blinded to all truth outside of it. They
were not content to inquire solely what
are the doctrins which the fathers Taught,
and to receive them simply because tney
formed part of a creed. 'rhcv eliminated
old errors and assimilated new truths,
and were constantly I.!%.-ug around
them more room to grow ~. DR.. Otis.
TIE above is lrue enough, but not full
enough, and its conclusions are mislead-
ing. When God gets ready for revo-
Iution-for another step higher in mans
moral as well az his intellectual nature,
He huds the man to bring aboutthat con-
dition; such as Moses, Martin Luther,
Newton and Geo. Washington. But those
great men are not needed every time the
moon changes, and we common mortals,
Instead Of hunting around for room to
grow in, had better follow the good old
creeds Of our fathers till we til the room
we are already in.

It is a mistaken idea some poodle
have, that they must be TOO liherai"
in all their convictions, religious and
others. Sometimes this "hberaP idea
is carried so far that it amounts TO
'looseness, which amounts to nothing.
There is vast difference between
librality ana looseness.
-
There is one thing we should never
forget. Another's fall does not mean
our elevation; another's moral turpi-
tude does not mean our spiritual adj
vancement, and when we delight in the
misfortunes and degradations Of Others
| we may be sure we are not very much
better ourselves.
Every tree beareth fruit of its own
kind; therefore when man rejoices in
the moral degradation of his Deighbor
he NAV know such rejoicing is the seed
| of bad spirit in himself.
~
There is only one man who ever lived
| that could say, 81 am the trutI. and the
light; and He proved it by being it.
~
There is something almost amusing in
this idea, but It's not intended as such,

ridiculous it may appear to others;
and that is that what we now need in
this world is not so much a pedi-
greed stock as a pedigreed people,
based not OH money but on brains and
moral character.
The truly greatest government that
the world ever saw, or rather that the
present historian knows any thing
about, was the early government of
Rome. before their sturdy moral natures
were undermined by the riches and
assimilated population Of conquest.
How long would it have taken Cincin-
natlls. for instance, to decide whether

GVictor Hugo W as both an idol and an
idolater. He bowed down IN egotism
and worshipped himself He stood up

None of this is true; Victor Hugo was
the greatest NOVELIST the world has yet
nroduced, and was to a certain exteut
vain of his talents, but certainly not to
the point of worship. He was really
good man and the French people hav7

doubt expressed as to what the Country
Circus" consisted of. All doubts were
dispelled, however, when there was pub

the advertisement of "A Democratic mass

arranged with speakers, but they gener-

Democrats that the Country Circus
