The one idea which runs timpani through the whole eco- omie system is, that bocause merica is a free country, there re its citizens are entitled to aliv- vith, or without rendering an "uivalent. More time is studying how to dodge the jilities of life than would be i to furnish a population of ii lions with bread and meat. AST to point out evils, but a arder task to provide a remedy . shall be both practical and op tive. It may be that a plain V itment of the case will suggest some wiser head a remedy for a urse that permeates like leaven yearly all classes of society. It is true that the saloon is graduating young men by the score in this di t abolical ""profession? but looking bej'ond this most fruitful source of . j?ambling we can see other schools ? where the taste is acquired by boys who are not tall enough to see over the counter. The gambling mania is so diffused through the various :eferanels of business, from a presi dential contest down to a two-quart peanut stand, that America is fast developing a race of gamblers. Chance is recognized as a valuable sles-sgrat in the disposition of 1 worthless wares and valulesa crap trap. Gambling is made the most attractive feature of slate and county fairs. Ten-cent prize boxes, -with a few pieees of candy and a "brass butterfly, never fail to catch the pennies of the boy who is not -tall enough to see over a counter. Ji crude and unscientific chemistry- ran, palm off on a gullible public, jreansof a lottery scheme, an inferior baking powder. These are pome of the ways in which boys are trained to gamble, and just what the end will be, we pretend not to ray, further than "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also leap." HEADING. The value of reading as an ac complishment, as a means of ac - quiring knowledge, and, above all, 3 a never-failing source of happi jiees, can hardly be over-estimated. 3n this way one becomes acquainted with the customs and manners of people of all periods. He is in the broadest sense a denizen of the -w orld, the contemporary of all ages. .ICveryone who has a taste for read ",awand the means of gratifying taste, is never without com inship. He can summon to firesideofjytuathe best ' ljitiprmen who have distin guished themselves in the cabinet, ' on the battlefield, and in the vari ous departments of Christian labor, lie can stroll through the fields of ecience with men of acknowledged ability for guides. If he choose he can listen to the words of Him "who spake as never man spake." - Some teach us how to live, others teach us how to die. Nothing can supply the place of bocks. They arc cheering and soothing compan-i ions in solitude, illness or affliction. The wealth of all continents ould --not compensate for the good thev impart- They gie to all who will faithfully cee them, the society of the best anl greatest of our race. No matter whether my aristocratic neighbors cr -ss my threshold, if . Milton will come to sing to me of Paradise, and Shakespeare open to me the world cf imagination and reveal to me the workings of the heart, and Franklin enriches me jvith his lessons of practical wis d-oSi-and I can hold pleasant con verse wilb-he literati of two hem ispheres. . .. We sec by the papers thatrGov. Pennoyer was compelled to pay his" railroad fare recently in conse qxience of his pass having expired. We have no doubt that his Excel Jency paid his fare willingly, and i could better appreciate the ride ufter having done so. There is no g-od reason why officials should ; ride free while scores of poor, hon est people are forced to trudge (through the mud. We believe in "'iqual rights to all and special priv leges to none. It is said of Chas. umnrr that he would never, on riy occount. accept a gift, and for 18 reason, no doubt, that such an ct would imply the surrender of bat manly independence peculiar his character, by bringing him . nder obligation to the donor. For is reason we think it better to oid all entangling alliances with rporations, monopolies and trusts - ('paying as you go. Complimen . tickets, free passes, etc., often . ' es cost all they are worth, and . arly every instance should be ited to uelfia and sordid mo . j rather than to charity and iterested benevolence. e legislature of Georgia has ;d that a doctor's first drunk -"Mnrn t wo hundred dollars. one will get him ""thriving piles. ",v : little It is jil- rifling -ith common seiisn ' so assurai.ee on behalf of Chris tian thinkers "that they watch the' progress of physical et ience with the keenest interest and satisfaction, yet unless the assurance be given in the plainest terms theologiaua will be ex posed to that ensiest of all literary imputations, the fear of the advance ment of any knowledge that is not distinctly religious. I'hyiiists have so often, happily for the best interests of science, contradicted and corrected each other on matters of fact that it may be prudent to wait before abs lutcly deifying any theory that ho yet been propounded. The science of one age has been the laughing stock of the next. The chemistry of the Greeks is little better than barbarism to modern Europeans. The Hindoos thought that the earth required to be supported by an elephant; but the earth turned out to be quite capable of supporting itself and hanging self balanced on its own centre. Hun dreds of sueh instances could be easily supplied. As compared with Christian theology, science as it is now urged upon, us is but of yester day. Little more than a century ago next to nothing, in view of what is now known, was understood of heat, electricity, and magnetism. Science is joung, and some of the privileges of, youth may be allowed to it. It might be inferred from the tone of a few living writers that the whole sphere of scientific investigation has been exhausted, and that perfect unanimity marks the counsels of all physical philosopher?. As a mere matter of fact there are writers of acknowledged authority on scientific subjects who have successful! v at tacked the whole line of Mr. Huxlev's anti-spiritual position. This should be remembered by readers who have examined only one side of the subject, for there is danger of forgetting that what is difficulty to one man, may be no difficulty to another, and that a wall may appear to be very strong until the force of opposing guns have been tried ucsn it. Mr. Huxlev's "protoplasm" is just such a wall -or rather it is a wooden fence, before the fire ei Christian criticism. As a mat ter of fact there are men of science, eminent as professors and expositors, enuorsea by the highest umversitv honors, who distinctly repudiate Mr. Huxley's doctrine, and from a Chris tian standpoint answer and overthrow his ill-reasoned and frivolous objec tions. An eminent professor of sci ence who has taken the trouble to inquire into the statistics of German literature, finds that out of thirty vol umes published within a given period, not fewer thau twenty were upon the side opposed to such teachings as Mr. Huxley's, and were, without excep tion, oy autnors ot established credit and repute in Germany. COMMUNION WITH GOD. In driving piles a machine is used by which a huge weight is lifted up and then made to fall upon the bead of the pile. Of course the higher the weight is lifted the nmra rM-im-prfnl is the blow which it gives when it de scends. LI we would tell upon our age, our words and our example, though they have weight, w ill accom plish but little unless we be lifted high above the world and as near to God as possible. All our power will depend upon the elevation of our spirits. Prayer, meditation, devotion, communion, are only the means which act as a windlass to lift us up ; it is not lost time which we spend in such sacred exercises, for we are thus accumulating force, so that when we come down to our actual labor for God, we shall descend with an energy unknown to those to whom com munion is unxnown. Hypnotism is coming to be rec ognized by haling medical men a? a valuable agent in correcting un natural aj p-titea and vicious habits. Persons addicted to tht opium habit have been so thor oughly cured by means of hypuot ism that the sight of the drug would car se nausea. Expe riment? have been made with the same happy ;e nits in the case of inebri ates and tobacco chewers. Anyone acquainted with ihe modus ope.-, andi of hypnet'sni will not be at s loss in grasping the pL 1 -sophy of the cure. We hail the advent oi this remedial rgent which, when it beetles more jMpular, will forevei burv seme of the worst appetites and pornicious habits wli h have aftLcted humanity for generations.
