w t.(HimueB She gattjj IMtorau. ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY.... MAKCII 22, 1S83 TJS 1V7S7 iS FATHER TO THE THOUGHT. There is probably no human facul ty that is in more need o faithful and patient cultivation than the judg ment, for there is none that has more complications to deal "with or more difficulties to overcome. Nev ertheless, there is perhaps none which receives less svstematic discipline or upon which people generally are less willing to expend labor and thought They train their children's memory; exercise their powers of expression; school them in habits of industry, endurance, patience apd self-control; but seldom discipline their judgment or teach them how to draw correct conclusions. , That, they suppose, is something which time and experience will do for them; yet when they see what hasty opinions and ill-advised judgments are continually formed by older people, they might infer that some definite education in this re spect was necessary for both young and old, There is a universal tendency to believe as really true that which is desired to be true; and to resist that tendency is perhaps the first and most essential step in this kind of mental discipline. Some new theory is propounded which excites human sympathies. It is hoped it can be established, and, with that feeling, those who like it proceed to investigate it Although they doubtless mean to bo impartial, they yet welcome the evidences in favor . of it with alacrity, and listen to the objections against it with reluctance. Unless they are very much upon their guard against this influence, they will accept the theory upon insufficient evidence, and whether it bo true or not, their belief in it will only prove their weakness. Or some proposed reform is present ed to them, againot which their ac customed habits of thought and their prejudices rebel. Perhaps it may in volve duties which they should dis like or sacrifices they are not ready to make, and they sincerely hope it may provo wild arid visionary. Now with such a bias they are in danger of deciding against it, simply because they do not' liko it, although they may imagine they have given it the most impartial consideration. A charge is made or a report is circu lated against their friend or their fa Torite candidate. How indignantly they resent it, and when proofs are offered, how they struggle to refute them! But let similar charges be brought against their foe or the can didate of the opposite party and how willingly they listen to them, how easily they can be brought to believe them! One man is by constitution and habit of mind conservative; he clings, to old ideas, old habits and old fashions, and his impulse is to reject new notions and new customs because they are new. Another by birth and training is radical; he lets old things slip from him without a pang, and receives all novelties with open arms. All these impulses are natural and not to be condemned, but they are im pulses for which due allowance should be made in forming any judgment and in drawing any conclusion. All preferences impose an obligation to give more weight to the opposite side. As men-know they will be influenced by their wishea, they should insist upon dwelling longer and more care fully on the arguments that thwart them. Thty should practice a whole some self-abnegation as far as possi ble, resisting the force that agrees with their wishes, and welcoming that which opposes them, thus doing all in their power to restore the balance which an intense desire has destroyed. Professor, Faraday, to illustrate the rarity of impartial judgments, al ludes to the very common amusement of fastening a ring to a long thread and holding it suspended over a glass to notice its movements, and cee whether it will tap the glass at the" mention of some name or letter, or other signal. Though every one who tries the experiment disclaims the pos sibility of an involuntary motion of the hand iu the desired direction, Prof. F. said he had rarely seen any one who was willing to put it to the proof by screening the object from sight and havingits position then changed. Yet it would seem that any one really desiring to discover the truth about even so "trifling a matter would eagerly weloome every means that could throw light upon it One effect of resisting inclination in the exercise of judgment will be to prevent hasty decisions. There are emergencies when rapid judg ments must be made and speedy ac tion must follow. But it is likely the larger number of conclusions will be improved -by delay. It is an easy (thing to accept as true or best what no nUW UCbU UI1UUI W CiyU- ing or sifting the evidence. But to judge wisely and woll takes both la bor and time. Suspension of judg ment at certain times and for certain periods is the best mental state men can bo in. When we remember how many complex conditions are in volved, and how difficult it is to un derstand and appreciate those condi tions, and to accord to each its proportionate value, we may well pause and reflect before committing ourselves to judgments which may prove to be wrong. "When men at tain a true conception of the knowl edge, thought and wisdom that are required to form wise opinions, or draw .correct conclusions upon even ordinary subjects, they will be in less haste to form rash judgments; and when they realize the inportance of bringing energy, patience, and self abnegation to the task, they will become better fitted to bear the re sponsibilities and arrive at the decis ions that life requires at their hands. The interment alive of Miss Cox of Okonoko, W.Va., recalls to mind the curious custom practiced by an old Virginia family, the Fendals of Alex andria. "Whenever a member of the family dies, the male representative of the older branch thereof, just be fore the hour of interment, buries a dagger in the heart of the dead to in sure himself of no're-awakening. The dagger used is one sacred to the pur pose, and has been devoted to its use for many generations. The custom originated because of the burial alive of a momber of the family, and an in herited tendency to a peculiar form of heart disease. 3IAUK1ED. At the residence of Dr. A. C.
