Peter Herald.
When we pick person to pieces, ex-
pose his follies, criticize his manners,
question his motives, and condemn his
actions, we are making not the best,
but the worst of him If, on the contra
ry, we search for his good points and
bring them to the front, if we make all
allowance for his faults and errors. and
withdraw them as much as possible
from the notice of others, we are MAX
ing the best of him, both IN appearance
and reality. In shielding his reputation
we are preserving for him the respect
of others, which goes far toward pro-
noting his own self-respect. -Almonte
(Ont.) Gazette.
The man who can see no good in his
fellow-man ought to fall off the earth
and 60 to his place. There is no guess
about where he ought to be and where
he will 60 when he leaves here. The
milk of human kindness has soured in
him, his better nature has become per-
verified, his eyes inverted and his whole
moral being turned away. He has lost
confidence in men, has no real respect
for women: looks on God as tyrant
and death as an escape from thralldom.
He is too cowardly to destroy himself,
too abject to be honorable, too small
intellectually to bother about the weight
Ter matters of life, too contemplate to
be noticed and too apt to live out all his
days. Such men may be classed the
"gad flies" of life, calculated to annoy
their betters, foment strife, run discord,

Who are the greatest enemies of the
church to-day? The members; the large
percentage who cloak villainy with a
hypocritical garb of religion. The ex-
posture of one Breckenridge is more
damaging than the speeches of hun
dred Ingersolls; the example of one
McKane more injurious than all the
writings of Paine. Atheists and inf
dels are avowed and open enemies.

PARANOEACS.

"There is fruitful suggestion in that
passage in DIR. Paquin's paper recently
read before the st. Louis Medical So
ciety," says the Post-Dispatch, (which
declares civilization responsible for
the paranoiacs who are becoming so
numerous. The very civilization which
is now imprisoning and killing paran-
oiacs, said the doctor, is often more
guilty toward them and society than
these unfortunates are toward the law
of the land and the people, because
civilization has produced them
"It cannot be called civilization which
produces such results. To be civilized
is simply to be socialized. Society has
made many blunders in it's progress and
out of these plumbers spring the curses
which come as retributions. 1t is the
natural result of mistakes for nature is
as relentless toward error as human law
is toward crime There is no such
thing known in her code as forgiveness.
Society is paying the penalty for the
mistakes made in the paranoiacs who
murder and the helpless lunatics and
IDIOTS who cumber the asylums of the
land, a perpetual charge upon the COM
munity. Civilization is not to blame,
but the failures to civiliZe, due to the
selfishness of some and the ignorance
of the many.
"Children who are brought up in the
midst of dirt and degradation, pressed
to steal and tempted every moment to
commit worse offenses, cannot be ex-
pected to grow into healthy manhood.
Nor can the boy who is taught that he
has nothing to do in the world but en-
JOY himself with the wealth he did not
earn do much better They are both at
disadvantage from the point of view
of healthy civilization. And among
the active, intelligent classes the ner-
vous strain is too much for all but the
strongest. The one object of the ordin-
AIRY business man is to keep his grip,
and he is in constant fear that in the
stress Of unceasing merciless competi-
ton he will lose it.
''The wonder is that there are not
more paranOiacs and cranks. Nature
seems to be lenient, notwithstanding
her implacable character. But perhaps
she is only giving warning. 1t may be
the few cranks who wander about the
country shooting public officials now
and then are only premonitory symp-
toms displayed to bring society to its
senses and induce it to revitalize its
civilization

While we are boasting of our sociol-
ogy, philanthropy and modern civiliza-
ton, foreign countries whose methods
and forms of government we consider
far inferior to our own, are basking in
the sunlight of a more advanced and
humanizing Jurisprudence, which is,
or should be, the very foundation Of
American civilization and advance
ment. The Gar of Russia, says the
Charles City, Ia, Intelligencer, ''has
recently made an innovation in the
law practice of his empire which we
believe to be good one. 1t is an elab-
crate and carefully considered scheme
of providing state-pald attorneys for
the people. The duties of these crown
lawyers will consist in the gratuitous
defense of the poor, especially of the
peasantry, in criminal and civil &C
tions. The Car wisely reasons that
when the state appoints public pros
ecutor, it ought also to provide pub
lie defender, free of cost, for the &C
cused persons, if they happen to be
poor or in Strengthened circumstances,
and that if the state pays the lawyers
who accuse, it ought also to remu-
nerate the counsel who defend. In this
country the presiding judge may as
sign the defence of prisoners who are
without means, to lawyer present in
court. This usually falls into the
hands of some shyster lawyer or new
practitioner who are wholly incompe-
tent to make proper defence, and
inaSmuch as these eX-OfficiO counsel
receive but a paltry sum for the work
thus undertaken, in the majority of
cases the interests of the prisoner have
