Tom Paine's Responsibility.

You say it is business trouble, or You
say it is electrical currents, or it is this,
or it is that, or it is the other thing.
Why not go clear back, my friend, and
acknowledge that in every case it is the
abdication of reason or the teaching of
infidelity which practically says, eff
you don't like this life, get out of it,
and you will land either in annihila-
ton, where there are no notes to pay,
no prosecutions to suffer, no govt to
torment, or you will land where there
will be everything glorious and nothing
to pay for it. Infidelity always has been

Tom Paine's "Age of Reason" was pub
lished and widely read there was a
marked increase of self slaughter.
Rousseau, Voltaire, Gibbon, Mon
taigne, under certain circumstances,

Infidelity puts up no bar to people rush
ing out from this world into the next
They teach us it does not make any
difference how you live here or go out
Of this world, you will land either in an
oblivious nowhere or glorious some
where. And infidelity holds the upper
end of the rope for the suicide, and aims
the pistol with which man blows his
brains out, and mixes the strychnine for
the last swallow If infdelity could
carry the day and persuade the major
ity of people that it does not make any
difference how you go out of the world
you will land safely, the rivers would
be so full of corpses the ferry boats
would be impeded in their progress and
the crack of suicides pistol would be
no more alarming than the rumble of a

On this latter book he toiled day and
night. through love Of nature and love
of God, until he could not sleep, and his
brain gave way, and he was found dead
with a revolver by his side, the cruel
instrument having had two bullets-one
for him and the other for the gunsmith
who at the coroner's inquest was exam

No one ever doubted the piety of Will
liam Cowper, the author of those three
great hymns, "Oh, For a Closer Walk
With Godp' "What Various Hin
ORANGES We Meetr' "There Is a Foun-
tain Filled With Blood" -William
Cowper, who shares with Isaac Watts
and Charles Wesley the chief honors of
Christian hymnology. In hypochondria
he resolved to take his own life and
rode to the river Thames, but found a
man seated ON some goods at the very
point from which he expected to spring
and rode back to his home and that
night threw himself upon his own
knife, but the blade broke, and then he
hanged himself to the ceiling, but the
rope parted. No wonder that when God
mercifully delivered him from that
awful dementis he sat down and wrote
that other hymn just as memorable:
God moves in a mysterious way
His woAders to perform.
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Blind unbelief is sure TO err
And scan his work in vain.
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make 1t plain.

THE SEX.
A Member of 1t Argues That the Trait
Is n Virtue.

w. s. Walsh. in North American Review.
In its beginning conceit or vanity is a
virtue, not a vice. 1t is the conscious
to his noblesse. 1t is the desire for admira-
ton, keeping woman up to the plane or
pleasing; In other words. it Is a most
right-being.s Exactly where the virtue
shades off into a vice is a nice question to
way we can say that whenever the con-
sciousness of deserving admiration or the
desire for admiration is .overweening and
Overwhelming; whenever it is a lie or the
cause of lies; whenever 1t induces the in
dividual to be offensive, overbearing, or
ridiculous; whenever it leads to the sacri-
flee OF principle, honor. and self-respect;
whenever it entails the discomfort Of others
then it is a vice, and Is properly stigma
1lzea py tne unpie e ah,cb na snS t is tbe ire
ordinate love of admiration attended with
the greater loss OF principle, truth and
self-respect-in which does 1t take on the
more offensive. overbearing and ridiculous
shape? That the cOnceit of man is more
overbearing than the vanity OF woman Is
self-evident. For man is the stronger sex.
and it is the tendency of iu-directed
strength to be overbearing. Undoubtedly
pleasant and vexatious to other minds
which are brought in contact herewith.
But at least 1t has the merit of truthful
ness. At least the man believes in him
self. He credits himself with the qualities
upon which he conceits himself. The fact
may not be a fact; TO him., however. 1t is
a fact. But a woman's vanity is never en-
tirely truthful. never entirely sincere. 1t
is the wild desire to impress by appearing
TO be something which she is not, and
which she instinctively knows she is not.
1t is a confession of weakness in the very
attempt to put on a show of strength. A
vice that is based upon an honest miscon-
ception of fact is Infinitely less harmful
than a vice that is based upon a willful
distortion of fact. A lie Is really the only
great crime that a human being can COM
nit. Well and wisely did the old theo-
logians, when casting about for a name
which should hold up the enemy of many
kind to the uttermost ietestation, brand
him and stigmatize him forever as the
Father of Lies. And because the vanity OF
woman is founded upon untruth, IL Is more
offensive and ridiculous, and entails a
greater loss of principle, OF honor. Of self
respect. than the conceit of man.
