GAMBLING.
tie oi tno very worst evits wnicn
lets this country is the sin of gam
ar.g. 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.

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.
