matter. Let boys be boys in every outbreak OF
manly impulse and fun, but an outbreak Of brutal
ity is another thing. Hazing, tagging and kindred
observances are tolerated in England almost to the
taking of life, because precedent makes any custom
sacred to John Bull. Precedent, thank heaven, Is
no demigod in America; and the last trait which We
are likely to borrow from our English cousins IS
their coarse love Of hOrse-play. There is quite
enough common sense in public opinion here to give

college which in this matter first listens 10 public

As to this special Indian Orchard case, it may be said further that few years ago there would not have been on the question raised SO large minority in favor of the settlement of pastor as six to eight. This is the most sig niicant thing in the whole affair, so far as it is matter of public comment. This perhaps fair ly represents the proportion of New England Congregation ministers on the proposition of affirming (we do not say denying) the doctrine of eternal punishment. Yet the statement is freely made that great majority of C0ngre- gational pews and at least half the CongTega- tlonal ministers Gin private) occupy the non affirming position of Mir. Merriam; and that it will not be long before the verdict of Con- gregatiOnalal council on like case (where the Christian character of the. minister is undolbt- ed) will be reversed by at least eight to six.

 It is to be noted, also, that there is strug- gle in the Congregational body towards some thing of the Presbyterian unity, and on the other for the maintenance of the independence of the individual churches according to the original practice. The creed of the Indian Orchard church is the '.Apostles,' . with the sentence, He descended into hell" stricken out; and to this Mr. Merriam heartily sub scribed. The Congregational council has the authority of sort of custom and of fellow ship; and by acting in opposition to it's vote the Indian Orchard church has put itself out side of this loosely-defned fellowship, But we imagine that whatever exclusion exists will wear away in a year or two in regard to this church. The Congregational body has always had room for such men as Dr. Bushnell; and we do not imagine that it is now going to draw it's lines against such men as Mir. Merriam. n C0urGnt.

1t il we'll enough to bear this in mind
as We Jog along: The Democratic
House OF Representatives told GRANT
and the Radical Senate, last winter, that
the army should not have one cent unless
it was withdrawn from all interference
with the local governments Of tie States
GRANT and the Senate would not agree
to that line Of policy" and Congress ad
journed without making an army sppro-
pristion. HAYES, and the SHER.
MANS, and EvART, and the whole Ad-
ministrstion, have exhausted every re.
source and expedient, in try ing to dis.
cover some way to support the army
without calling Congress together. No
possible means could be discovered.
Congress had to be convened or the
army disbsnded. Now, Congress had
said the soldiers must be taken out of the
State Houses OF Louisiana and South
Carolina, or the War Department must
60 without money: therefore, it would
be useless to convene Congress for the
purpose OF approprating Tor the army,
as long as the army was used,
in defiance OF Congress and the Consti-
tuition, for the subverslon of civil govern
ment in the States. HAYES, therefore,
withdrew the troops.

for adopting this policy" Can they

been just what the action of the Senate

there been no Democratic House, who

The breeze was stiff, and the little boat
went swiftly before the wind. On near

she capsized, and all hands climbed up
on the side to swat being taken of by
some boat sailing around. One young
boy about 10 years old, named Alphonse
Lawrence, left to swim ashore, and
when only about 20 feet off was seized
with cramp. No one on board being
able to swim no assistance could be
given and young Alphonse drowned.

"The past is in the eternal past" tie
present but moment, the future un-
known-its length uncertain, known
only to the recorder Of the human race
on the book of life. 1t is beyond hu-
man prediction. Could that curtain
that veil's man destiny be raised what
change there would be; but alas that
blessing was never intended for ns.
Fancy has deluded many with her art of
deception and brought to the eyes of
the deluded future far brighter than
reality did to any brother. At the pres
ent let us stop but for a moment and
reflect back on our journey. If memory
brings to us smiles Of satisfaction let US
put the helm down and head our frail
bark to yon home above; keep our lamp
OF truth and justice we'll trimmed; let
the breakers Of temptations be what
they may, mind not yon rock of sin,
since our beacon light-do unto others
as we'd have them do unto us-points
out our path. Should those reflections
cause us to shed tears OF regret and
shame let us reform, lay aside the evil
guides of our steps that our future may
be more promising. There's a time in
the future, and only in the days to come
it may be the first second in the fu-
ture; no power can prevent its coming,
since God has said it, since His only
divine Son saw it. On the present
preparation depends your everlasting
future, for it is either an eternal bliss
or the torments OF hell which shall last
for ever with ,ut end. In the future
there is death. To meet death as be-
COMES child of God we must change
our past course, and must do it now,
for here


" Tis dust to dust;


There, heart TO heart"


In the future there's day when all
mankind shall assemble before the tri-
bunal seat OF the Most High to be
judged according to his past life. 1t
will be too late to regret those actions of
yore, and your eternal future will be
spent in the flames of everlasting fire.
That future never ends. A Jesuit father
makes the comparison OF its duration
thus: "Should q solid ball OF iron be
made ten thousand times larger than
this earth, and every ten thousand years
a wren touch it with its wings, when it
wears out eternity ceases" Gould it
wear out? 1t would be absurd to say it
would. Life is only spark flying from
the flint of eternity.


"Picciola," simple and brief have We
been, but truthful to every letter.
Think on the future and bid the past
an everlasting adieu. Trust thy bark
to thy angel guardian, who will dispel
from thy brow those dark and threaten
ing clouds of sorrow.


" In the distance strive to read my fate,


And in those beautiful stars,


And trembling in the balance, as wait.


My future lies"

Young men whose fathers control
large business interests and who are
the head of mercantile houses, can,
when properly educated, step into
their fathers counting Frooms, and
begin when quite young to occupy
positions of profit and influence. In
fact this is SO generally the custom,
that other young men possessed of
equal, if not even more ability, and
who are in every way quite as de-
serving, are pushed one side to
make way for their more fortunate
companions. In our large cities the
main avenues of trade are thus
made to run in ruts. The old
houses control the business and pass
down from generation to generation
in the custody and control of men,
bers of the same families. There is
no chance for new houses, with
smaller capital, to compete with
them. Young men with small
means are ruled out, and so the
words prove only too true, ''to him
that hath shah be given," while for
him who hath not, if all he has is
not takeu from him, he at least
stands but little show of adding to
his already slender resources. An
aristocracy is thus built up. The
same families who now live in affiu-
ence, increase in wealth and power,
while those who serve them now
for wages can look forward with
but little hope for any Improvement
either for themselves or their chill
dren.
