TIE UNSEEN WORLD.
Hades as nc Is Pictured In the Books OF
the Apocrypha.

The book of Daniel dating from the
/ Maccabean age, is perhaps the earliest
1 work in which any clear moral differen-
tiation as regards the unseen world is
manifest. MANY of them that sleep in
the dust of the earth shall awake, some
to everlasting life, and some TO shame
and everlasting contempt And they
that be wise shall shine rs the bright
ness of the armament, and they that
turn many TO righteousness rs the stars
forever and ever - To find more de
tailed account Of hades we must turn TO
the books Of the Apocrypha, written in
Greek, and pe.yadod by ideas not pre-
cisely Hellenic, but Hellenistic.
IN particular the book of Enoch,
which deals largely in eschatology and
the secrets Of the universe, speaks in
some detail Of the future of righteous
and wicked; "All goodness and joy and
glory are prepared for them and are
written down for the spirits of those
who have died in Righteousness, and
manifold good will be given to you in
recompense for your labors, and your
lot is abundantly beyond the lot Of the
living. And in contrast: know We
that their souls (the sinners) will bo
made TO descend into sheol, and they
viii become wretched, and great will
be their tIibulation, and into darkness
and net and a burning fire, where
there is grievous condemnation, will
your spirits enter, and there viii be
grievous condemnation for the genera
tons Of the world
In the fourth book Of Esdras it is
said of the enemies of God that "they
shall decay in confusion, and be con-
sumed with shame, and wither in fear,
when they see the glory Of the Most
High in whose sight they sin while
they are alive, Much influence ON later
Jewish thought was exercised by a we'll
known passage Of the later Isaiah:
They shall 60 forth, and look upon the
carcases Of the men that have trans
gressed against me, for their worm
shall not die neither shall their fire be
quenched, and they shall be an abhor-
ring unto all flesh. " These words in
their primary meaning refer to the ma
terial bodies Of the dead, but in the Hell
lenistic age they We're used Of the future
world of spirits. And the picture of
which the outline was thus sketched
was by degrees filled in from non Bibli-
cal sources. But this filling in went ON
but slowly and was not far advanced

zone Of my boyhood recollections,"
faid General Wade Hampton, "refers to
Henry Clay. He was frequent visitor
at my fathers house in South Carolina.
Both Clay and my father We're ardent
whist players, and nothing was more to
their minds than the collection Of a
brace of gentlemen equally addicted to
whist, and then the quartet would play
for hours. While the name of whist
might serve to imply "a game where ST.
lence reigned, my father and Clay
didn't play whist that way. They ex-
ulted audibly over success, and did
not hesitate when they were playing as
partners to violently point out mistakes
tho other had made and attributed de-
feat to the others ignorance and utter
lack of natural intelligence Indeed, on
occasions particularly trying, they were
even known to apply hard names to one
another. This they did in no slanderous
spirit, but to brighten up and sharpen
the wits of the other to the improve
ments Of his play. AS they were sitting
down to q game as partners one evening
Clay remarked;
It's great outrage the way we
talk TO each other, and my idea now
at the outset, is for each of Us to put up
$50, to belong to the one who is first
called hard names by the other. If You
assail me, the money is mine; if for
get myself, you take it.
My father readily agreed. He felt
in mild, Agreeable mood. lie was con-
fident he would never again be a Prey to
the slightest impulse to speak harshly
to his dear friend Clay. And, besides, 1t
was his recollection that Clay was the
man who ragged and did the loud talk
ing. SO my father checrfully placed the
$50 on top of Clay's. He thought it
would be good lesson to the blue grass
orator to lose it. AS they proceeded
with the game Clay made some excess
lively thick headcd and i'll advised plays
He led the wrong cards; he trumped
the wrong tricks; he did everything
idiotic in whist that he well could. My
fathers blood began to boil. AS he and
Clay lost came after game his wrath ran
higher and higher. Still he bit his lip
and suffered in silence 1t went on for
hours, until Clay made some play of
browning imbccility which lost him and
my father the eleventh game. Flesh and
blood could stand no more. My father
sternly pushed the $40 over to Clay.
Why, said Clay, opening his gray
eyes with look of innocence and amaze
ment, why do you do that? You haven t
said n word.
No, retorted my father, but I'm
going to tell you, sir, that you are the
most AFFECT idiot, tho most boundless
imbecile that ever Dealt IL hand ut whist.
Yes, sir; / repeat it, you are the -
fool ever met in my life. '"--ChicaSo

LETTER WRITING.
The Art Lost One To the Present Day
Scribblers of Hasty Notes.


Scribblers of Hasty Notes.
Every one knows, of course, that the
actual number of letters passing through
the mails of every civilized country is
greater, rather than less, year by year.
But every one also feels that these let
tiers are no longer letters, in the true
sense, at all They are amplifled tele-
grams, bald and bare statements of fact,
and they have the loose and disjointed
and careless phraseology of the tele-
graphic message. That sense Of the lit
expression, the graceful concept; that
feeling for the lucid and connected ex-
position of the ideas, for the balance of
the parts, of a letter, for its compost
ton, III shCrt-the very term is pre-
Adamite 20 the end Of the century ear
that used to preoccupy the best letter
writers Of another generation have gone
from our present day scribblers of hasty
notes, as though such musty things had
never been.
The only people who compose" their
letters now are cultivated old ladies.
Their college bred granddaughters, in
tellectually armed and professionally
equipped, exhibit productions in that
line, of which, for the most part, it
might be said, rs Henry James re-
marked of the notes Of invitation Of tho
London society woman, that they have
nothing in common with the epistolary
art but the postage stamp
1t may be held that such AN accom-
plishment is not, after all, Of the great
est value. But behind it there is an ill.,
stinct, deep seated in the race, that a
widespread habit Of careless writing af
fects very directly the thinking Of "A peo-
pie. And this one cannot but believe to
be the case. 1t takes no intellect to put
plain facts into honest, self respecting
phrases. But it takes self restraint and
attentiveness, and these lead in time to

THE PRICE OF COTTON.
