HYPOCRISY OF PHILANTHROPY.

Protesting More lie ief Than Is Felt In

The temptation TO profess phllan-
thropy is becoming very strong. 1t Is
the religion of the hour, in many de-
partments OF life no one can rise last
without II, it is saturatlng literature,
and its opponents, if there are any lett,
are liable TO oblOQuy OF the most palnful
kind, says the London Spectator. They
are detested alike by the good and by
the mob. All men are beginning TO
profess love for the poor, sometimes
under the most eItravagant forms; half
the clergy Of all sects are preaching q
philanthropic cult; most OF the noyeliSts
devote their efforts 10 exciting sym
pathy for 1.-The disinherited;" and all
| politicians OF all parties declare that in
their hearts the one strong sympathy Is
for the multitude. There is not a Co.
rlolanus left, and II there were he would

ternity are the new watChwords, and 1t
Is scarcely safe for any one who would
prosper or who would be esteemed, to
say that he believes in neither or that
he is careless OF their progress toward
universal adhesion. "Gratliy the ma
jority," is the eleventh commandment,
and the majority are always the poor.
II is a new creed, developed, as usual,
in the West, by fostering a single side
of Christianity, and, like all creeds with
root in that faith, it will probably
produce good, perhaps even great re-
suits Of its own. 1t will almost certain
ly mitigate the sufferings OF a genera
ton, il will clear away many unreali-
ties, and it will enormously increase the
reservoir OF capacity from which each
nation must draw in all departments,
alike Of thought and action, its
available supply OF force. 1t will
also, we hope and believe, though
we are not assured, increase the gentle
ness of the populations; for there Is
relation hard TO define, but impossible
to overlook, between Christianity and
gentleness, probably based on the les
son which the former approaches Of the
suppression alike Of malice and OF self.
But at the same time there will be q
great crpp OF a new hypocracy, the be-
giunings OF which are already visible.

final excuse for any revolution in hsb-
its. The employer who would not for
worlds pay his clerks or his servants
more than the market rate, declares
angrly that the miners have a right TO
diving" wage; and the man who
bargains every day for the fatthings In
the pound affects TO doubt whether
competition does not press too heavily
on the majority. Almost everybody
processes a belief In an equality in
which not a hundred believe, and a
distinct majority are ready to vote that
in governing men the claim Of human
ty" is superior alike TO that Of moral
" or Of competence.
