THE YOUNG.

But then the great difficulty with many Of
the young, even favorably impressed with re-
spect to religion, is, that If they must become
decidedly pious. they must abandon many
sweet enjoyments. and commence life OF
uninterrupted self-denial. 1t Is supposed
that religion is dull, unsocial, destroyer Of
human Joy. morose intruder upon human
pleasure. But is this really the nature Of re-
iigion2 True, indeed, 1t condemns intemper-
ance, and profanity, and impurity, and scam
dal and selflshness, and excess Of every kind,
but it lays no icy hand on the true joys OF life.
There Is no source Of innocent enjoyment
and recreation which religion condemns.
God made US for society, and he would not
retain the flow of friendly feeling. He gave us
constitutions, every organ OF which he de-
signed to be an instrument OF pleasure, and
he would not deny us any reasonable
means Of preserving their healthful exercise.
He implanted in the mind taste for the
beautiful and sublime, and he would not shut
our eyes on the objects fitted to awaken
these emotions. He endowed us with
high intellectual powers, and he would not
shut our eyes on the objects fitted to awaken
these emotions. He endowed US with
high intellectual powers, and he would not
deprive us af the means OF their cultivation.
Tell me of any one source OF enjoyment be-
coming our nature and destiny, and then
point me, if you can, to the command OF God
which forbids you having recourse to it. 0,

The Boston Transcript tells the following
story of Professor Biackie: B!ackie was lee
turing to new class with whose personnel
he was imperfectly acquainted. A student
rose to read paragraph, his book in his left
hand. ''Sir!" Numbered Blackie, hold your
book In your right hand!"-and as the stu
dent would have spoken-"No words sir!
Your right hand, say" The student held
up his right arm, ending piteously at the
wrist. "Slr, hae nae right hand!' he said.
Before Backie could open his lips there arose
such storm Of Kisses as one perhaps must go
to Edinburgh to hear and by 1t his voice was
overborne Then the professor left his place
and went down to the student he had un-
Willingly hurt and put his arm around the
lads shoulders and drew him close, and the
lad leaned against his breast. "My boy"
said Blackie-he spoke very softly, but not
80 softly but that every word was audible in
the hush that had fallen IN the classroom
"my boy you'll forgive me that I was ever
rough? I did not know-I did not know"
He turned to the students and with look

heart ho said 'iAnd let me say to you all,

The exact effect of Minister Willis in
structions in regard to Hawaii has not
been divulged. but, from Secretary Ores
hams statement, can easily be inferred. 1t
is evident that Mr.. Willis has gone out to
Honolulu with a practical declaration OF
war against a friendly power to which he is
accredited. Such a mission requires abilt-
les of a peculiar brand. a man to accom-
plish 1t must either be a diplomat of the
Talleyrand type or bulldozer of the first
water. Minister Willis does not seem to fiji
in either Of these notches. What a sad
thing, for the credit of the administration
that John Y. McKane. the great and only
boss of Gravesend, was not sent to Hawaii
Gravesend could well have spared John Y
Mckane for an indefinite period, and al
Honolulu his proved abilities in overriding
the laws of community and his con-
temptuous disregard for the Constitution
of his country would have been of inestim-
able service in carrying out a policy just in
his line of work. The only excuse for the
administration is found in the fact tina,
only lately did the country become thor
oughly aware of John Y. McKane's shining
characteristics.
