AN oCroGENARIAN's MEMOIRS

In comparing the manners and customs OF
my youth with those of the present day,
should say one Of the chief differences is in the
attitude of children toward their parents. Ger
tainly my fathers word was law which we
never dreamed Of disputing, and a girl never
acted Independently of her mother. At the end
OF each dance she returned to her chaperon,
and / never heard of young lady receiving
presents from driving In cabs with her part
before being engaged. Nous avons change
tout celia. In the matter of dress think IL was
much simpler and less complicated than II is
now; at least, was never allowed to wear any
thing in the evening, winter or summer, but
white muslin made low with short sleeves: and
remember that when my elder sisters going
out in London all their ball dresses and even
their court dresses were made at home by the
maid. Almack's the fashionable rendez-
vous of the elite of London society;
admitted except by ticket from one of the lady
patronesses. On one occasion my mother saw
Of her friends, who happened to be very
absent minded, walk up the ballroom with only
stocking on, he having altogether forgotten
the other one. The effect OF the pink foot APP
pearing in contrast to the white silk stocking
the other foot may be better imagined than
described.-CThe Pail Mall Magazine.

THE FUTURE OF THE BIBLE.

II IS no doubt the case that the masses of
Christian people are yet, for the most part IN
troubled by what are called critical questions.
They stil listen to the Lessons read in church
with acQuiesCence and even with interest, but
there are many signs that this is changing fast
Any clergyman who takes the trouble to fad out
what his parishioners really think about the
narratives OF the Old Testament VIII make some
more thoughtful and sensitive people are often
seriously troubled by what they hear. that
coarser minds are moved TO contempt. greatly
to their own moral injury. II Is becoming clear
that in the interest of Christianity itself eccle-
siastical usage ought more faithfully 20 reflect
the actual opinion about the Bible which now
obtains A drastic revision OF the dictionary
would seem to be urgently called for
The very circumstance that so many OF our
people prepared TO acquiesCe in what they
hear from the lectern and even TO believe that
in some way other what they hear is div inely
true. makes the present indiscriminate reading
Of the Bible in public extremely perilous
proceeding. Educated men. as We have already
indicated. have at their disposal means by
which TO escape from the perpleTites stirred in
their minds by the Incredible puerile or demon
alizlnE narratives which the Old Testament con-
tains. But these resources are not accessible.
and viii never be accessible to the masses Of the
people. They have no other course open to them
when the difficuity is brought home either by
their own Intelligence or by the action OF others
than the violent and unhappy course Of repu-
dating the Bible altogether. The transition Is
prompt and obvious in untutored minds from
sacred volume. too sacred for discussion. to 4
pack Of lies. too gross for liberation. The prln-
cipIc Of selection the basis of what is edify-
ing is Of course. familiar enough in the Church.
1t is implied in the whole notion OF official
dictionary. There are passages-many pas
sages- which the Church does not read in pub
lie There Is. therefore. nothing revolutionary

MODERN POLITICS.

Clinton Scotland, the poet narrated the other
day an incident that does not speak very well
for modern politics.
"A friend of mine" said Mr. Scotland us the
principal of city school He gathered the
school children before him In the assembly room
one day last month. and he told them that he
wanted them to vote on national flower.
Trance has a national flower he said. Tt
is the lily. England's national flower is the rose
Japan's is the chrysanthemum; but we've of
this great big land of America-have no national
flower at all Little slips OF paper are to be
handed about now. and each of you is to vote
for the flower that you think best suited for
Americas national emblem
The youngsters began to think earnestly and
the paper slips were distributed. Back near the
door. however. little Italian boy was all this
time making good deal OF disturbance He
seemed to be arguing heatedly with the boys
around him-seemed to be dissuading them from
some course or other
MY friend noticed the noise. He called before
him one Of the Italian boys neighbCrs, and he
asked what the trouble back there was.
why was the answer, T'ietro doesn't want
any of us to vote yet, and he says he isn't going
to vote yet himself. He says people never vote
till they find out how much they are to be
paid"
