convenience Of expression, to personal

call them all God, and do il with this
explanation, while, even then, do not
think il would be advisable, because IT
would be liable to mislead, would not
seriously protest against 1t. But / do
most earnestly, protest against Col. In
gersoll saying that he is not ready to
deny the existence Of God, when he has
reason to believe, and when il is expert
mentally true, that Jews and Christians
are quoting his language to prove that
there is some such being as that one
that they say made lice foot and half
deep all over Egypt, and had to come
down out of the clouds to stop those
fellows in the plains Of Shinar from
building winding stairway to heaven
by fixing up the language business so
that when a Hebrew bricklayer yelled
More mort" the hod carrier answered
"Parley vous Francois and the disgust
ed boss said "Gott in Himmel; verhuch-
ter Schweinhund," and the contractors
threw up the contract because the work
men could not understand each other.
While there are, almost certainly, other
worlds than one, that have intelligent
existences in them, there is no reason to
suppose there is another world" in the
sense that Col. Ingersoll evidently
means, unless he still has in him, the
dregs of the old religious superstition in
which we were born, that taught alike
that there was heaven and hell, the
latter of which Col. Ingersoll discards
Indignantly, while he admits that he has
a kind of a sneaking idea that there may
be heaven where we will all wear gol-
den slippers and plunk harps.s
do not believe in any kind of expe-
diency, or policy, that is anything less
than the whole truth about anything
that we discuss, and it seems to me that
as Ingersoll is in his politics afraid to
say anything against the liquor business,
because he does not want to antagonize
the beer drinking German Rationalists,
so in his religion, after having kicked
clear out of the orthodox harness, he
thinks it best to throw a sop to the
theological Cerberns, and tub to Jonah's
whale, by suggesting that he is not so
burned certain, after all, that, after death,
we may not meet somewhere in the sky
and have a regular old he picnic sitting
on damp clouds, and discussing politics
and theology.
1t is highly probable, almost certain,
that some part of our present corporosi-
ty will, some time after our death, be
taken up, and be made part of the body
of some other man; but that the individ.
uality of each of us is so thoroughly
destroyed by the disintegration of death
that there is not the remotest possibility
of any immortality" in the sense that
the Christians and Col. Ingersoll here
use the word, is foregone conclusion to
any man who recognizes the scientific
fact that the phenomenon of thought is
simply mechanical result of the opera
ton Of the brain, as sight is of the eye,
and that therefore our consciousness
and our sight are equally destroyed when
our brains andour eyes are destroyed,
as they will be,by death.

From the "Independent Pulpit"
FALLEN MEN.

We notice that Mr.. c. c. Moore, Of the
Blue Grass Blade, has opened his col
umns for the discussion Of how TO res
cue the fallen women of the country, &
question of prime importance, we think
and one that shouldlengage the attention
of every true philanthropist. We are
glad to note that good deal is now be.
ing said on this subject, more perhaps
than ever before, but nobody ever said
anything about rescuing the fallen men
We have thought some along this line
and the conclusion forced upou ou,
mind is, that the first thing to be, done
in disposing of the social evil is to devise
some plan of rescuing the fallen men
Every time a woman falls a man falls
with her, and the man falls just b low
as does the woman. This is a trph that
should be rscognized.in-tif the vrrJ erse,
of every attempt at rescuing the Fallen
and it should be borne in mind, tob, that
wherever man and woman have fallen
in ninety-nine cases out of hundred
the man is more to blame for it than the
woman.
These facts seem never to have occur
red to society, and we may hazard some
thing in thus calling attention to them;
but be that as it may they are facts,
stern, irresistible facts that meet US
right on the threshold of all efforts at
rescuing the fallen women.
The standard of womanly virtue is
very high. and we think it is perfectly
right that it should be, but there is no
reason why we should not raise the
standard of manly virtue Just as high,
ond bean ~ ftoVa To- hx, he
watchful care. This double standard of
evil and until we abandon it that evil
will be upon us.
Society is exacting as to womanly
character, but lax in its demands upon
men. When woman falls she is utter
ly cast out and at once, but thei fallen
man is soon forgiven and allowed to go
on as If he had committed no sin at all,
and this especially the case if lie hap
pens to be man of wealth. Neither in
telligence, wealth nor high social posi-
ton will save the fallen womail then
why should the man 60 free?
This double standard could be broken
up by the women, and that too, il avery
short time, and we think it abo,t time
for them to take the initiative in chat di-
rection. There is not society woman
in the country who could not inform
herself as to the character of the men
she allows to associate with her, and if
the women would require of the linen as
pure as the men, even though they be
impure themselves, require of ttem, the
fallen of either sex would soon be re-
ducee to only few.

A TRICK IN vIOLINS.
A Little Comedy Played by q Musician
ConnOisseur and n Pawnbroker.

A Little Comedy Played by Musician,
COnnOisseur and n PawnbrOker.
From the New York World.
He was evidently a musician, and car
ried violin in a black silesia bag. The
Bowery pawnbroker, as he saw him enter,
said to himself: "Ah, here's a poor devil
of player. forced to pledge the only thing
that gives him livelihood, poor though it
be-"
Let me have $3.50 on this, please" said
the man, regretfully, as he carefully drew
the violin out of its covering. Il just want
enough to tide me over a day or SO, until
I get remittance. Unless knew I could
redeem it at once. l would never trust 1t
out of my hands, for it is not only my sole
means of existence. but, as you will OBJ
serve it is a very valuable instrument"
The pawnbroker handed out the money,
and almost regretted that the loan was
turned back and said: by the way, 1
wish you would not put this violin aside
with lot of odds and ends. 1t is too val
liable to take any risk with. Besides, will
surely be back in day or so.''
A few days later an elderly man came
In and asked to see some opera glasses.
AS he was looking over the stock his eye
lighted on the violin, hanging on the wall.
please" he said. He looked at 1t critically,
and then a delighted expression over
spread his face.
Just what 1 have been seeking for
wears" he exclaimed, making no attempt
to conceal his enthusiasm. You see, I am
connoisseur, one Of the vtrtuosi. as the
newspapers love to term us old fellows.
l need this violin in my collection, and I'll
give you $40 for it." Mine Uncle only shook
his head.
"Well, I'll make 1t $50
ut isn't for SALE" replied the pawn
broker.
the pawnbroker was deeply interested. He
explained how the violin came into his pos
session.
IF you'll drop in again in a day or so
I'll probably have seen the owner, and
perhaps we may be able to negotiate a
DEAL
Il hope So" returned the enthusiast,
LAS you will have some trouble in the
matter, I'll raise my offer to an even hun
dred. 1 must have that VIOLIN"
AS soon as he was gone the pawnbroker
hurried around to see the musician. The
man lived in poorly furnished room, evil
IDENTIFY in great poverty.
What! Sell my dear violin?" he ex-
claimed. Indignantly. No! a thousand
times no. I'd rather starve first
Look here, my man. said the pawn
broker; Il know just how you feel about
it, but after all it's merely a question of
sentiment. A cheaper instrument will do
you in your business. I'll give you $50 for
that violin"

And with this she rose and took him by
the hand. and the two went back together
to where the bishop of Modenstein still
prayed beside the body Of the lady.
Osra stood on one side of the body and
stretched her hand out to the prince, who
stood on the other side.
See" said she. 'She must be between
u.s." And having kissed the dead face
once, she left the prince there by the side
of his love, and herself went out, and, turn
ing her head, saw that the prince knelt
again by the corpse of his love.
He does not think Of me-" she said to
the bishop.
His thoughts are still with her, madam"
he answered.
1t was late night now. and they rode
swiftly and silently along the road to Strel-
sau. And on all the way they spoke to
one another only few words, being both
sunk deep in thought. But once Osra spoke.
as they were already near to Strelsau. For
she turned suddenly to the bishop, saying:
My lord, what is 1t? Do you know it?'
Eyes, madam, I have known It," answer
ed the bishop.
yet you are a churchman!"
True. madam said he, and he smiled
sadly.
She seemed to consider. fixing her eyes
on his; but he turned his aside.
Gould you not make me understand"
she asked.
your lover, when he comes, will do tina t
madam" said he. and still he kept his eyes
turned away; yet presently faint smile
curved her lips and she said:
1T may be you might feel it II you were
not a churchman. But I do not. Many
men have said they loved me, and have
felt something in my heart-but not this!'
1T will come" said the bishop.
docs it then come to every one?"
ITO most" he answered.
"Heigho, will it ever come 70 me-" she
sighed.
And so they were at home. And Osra
was for :: long time very sorrowful for the
fate of the lady whom the Prince of Glot-
tenberg had loved, but since she saw Lud-
wig no more, and the joy Of youth con-
quered her sadness, she ceased to mourn,
and as she walked along she would wonder
more and mere what it might be, this great
love that she did not feel.
For noae will tell me- not even the
bishop Of Modenstein,' said she.

them here from tho fatherland more than
a century ago.
The community of which I speak Is that
of the Moravian Brethren, religious sect,
who settled this place about the middle OF
the eighteenth century. and the cause or
the exceptional condition remarked upon
is that until a comparatively recent date
the Moravians would not consent to part
with any Of their large real estate holdings
to outsiders, or to other than Moravians
Ike themselves, thus preserving undisturb-
ed and uncorrupted by contact with the
outer world a LITTLE clan or clique of their
own.
Through the perseverance and pressure,
however. of the prosperous neighboring
farmers, many of whom have since embrac-
ed the Moravian faith, a wedge was finally
driven into this smart little community Of
exclusives. with the result that of the Loo
souls which the town now contains about
one-third Of the number is made up from the
families of these farmers.
An Ancient Sect.
The history of the Moravians may be said
to date from the year 1887, although, as a
matter Of fact, the United Brethren tUnitas
Fratrum), as they are sometimes called, had
their actual origin in the religious move
ments in Bohemia which followed the mar
tyrdom of John Huss by the council of Con-
stance. LititZ was christened in 1855 by
Count Zinzendorf and is the name Of an
ancient town in Bohemia, where, in 145G,
the prosecuted Moravians found refuge.
What practically led, however, to the
founding of the unity in LititZ was the vision
of the Lord which George Klein. the Luther
an leader, claimed had appeared to him on
the night he refused to attend the meeting
held by Count ZinZendorf in Warwick. Ac-

Game in Vermont.

V,crmOnV.
From the Boston Herald.
Game in general is reported to be I'M
commonly plentiful in Vermont The con-
ditions for the growth of young birds have
been more than usually favorable, and
they are said to be large and plump for
this season of the year. The game upon
which Vermont sportsmen chiefly rely are
partridge and woodccck. Reports from all
sections of the state indicate that par
tridges are plentiful. The protected deer
are multiplying rapidly in the state, and
are seen in almost every town, and often
times herding with the farmers cattle, and
even coming home with the cows at night.
These are petted when they will permit it.,
and many have become quite tame.

1t.
Thus they came to the gate of the
avenue of trees that led to the house.
Here, having dismounted and tied their
stant and Osra again yelled her face.
Let me go alone, madam" he implored.
"Give me your sword and will go alone"
she answered.
Here then is the path" said the bishop,
and he led the way by the moonlight that
broke fitfully here and there through the
trees.
HE swore that all his life should be
mine.' she whispered. yet 1 knew that
he did not love me-.
The bishop made her no answer; she look
ed for none and did not know that she
spoke the bitterness of her heart in words
that he could hear. He bowed his head
and prayed again for her and for himself;
for he had found his hand gripping the hilt
of his sword. And thus, side by side now,
they came to the door of the house, and
door, STILL but watchful. And Osra knew
that he was the princes chamberlain.
When the chamberlain saw them he
started violently and clapped hand to his
sword; but Osra flung her veil on the
ground, and the bishop gripped his arm as
with a wise. The chamberlain looked at
Osra and at the bishop, and half drew his
sword.
This matter Is too great for you, SIR
said the bishop. 1T is a quarrel Of princes.
Stand aside;'' and before the chamberlain
could make up his mind what to do Osra
had passed by him and the bishop had fol-
lowed her.
Finding themselves in a narrow passage,
they made out by the dim light Of a lamp
a flight of stairs that rose from the farth-
est end Of it. The bishop tried to pass the
