Don't begin life with an overestimate of yeurself, be- eause you will inevitably end your career in disap. pointinont that the world has not appreciated you, Think little of yourself, and you will Gnd the world will think the more of you for {t Never keep an account of the good deeds you have fone. You can casily trust the Lord to do that, Your religion ought not to be divorced from your Gaily life, It does hot follow because a man professes fot to have sinned for fifteen years that he does not tand his sugar as othor folks do. Tt was once said of a clergyman whose manners” were somewhat peculiar, that when he was lm the pulpit his eloquence was so persuasive that the people wished he might never come out of it, and when de was making his parish calis he was so trivial that ihe people wished he might nevgr go into it It is almost impossible to kill a man by honest hard work, but you can worry him to death in a very short me, It js the nervous, not the muscular system, that tives oft. Some people sing at their work and live ‘oug; others fret at their work and soon wear out. One wong is better than many tears, Decision is a very important element of character. Tf we could troat all our bad habits as General Putnam treated a spy found near bis encampment we should wonderfully hasten the millennium.

' your denomination any better to show that another is not all it should be, Why talk so cloquentiy about the unity of the Christian world and in the same breath _denounce the larger part of it? The frequent exbibi- tions of ill-temper which characterize Protestant criticism will not serve to allure the members of the Catholic Church from their own communion, and yet they may all become Protestants against such uncalled for and useless attacks, ~ Things that change and pass away must be worked “For, but things lasting ond eternal are a free gilt of grace, It was Lowell who said:— ‘Tis heaven alone that is given awa ‘Tis only God may ve had tor the asking. Here js a curious episode which makes us feel that the Centennial is a myth and that we have hardly emerged from the Dark Ages:—Two young men, who have been friends for years, met at the house of an ac- quaintance and concluded that one or the other must die, So far the story looks romantic, Having come to this sago conclusion, however, they proceed to the prairie outside the town arm in arm, the one carrying a pistol, the other a Wiuchester rifle. Having meas- ured of the requisite number of paces they begin to fire, Now the matter becomes areal tragady. At the second shot one man drops with a bullet in his heart | and the other took to his heels and has not been heard | from sinee, And so this bit of precious folly enda ‘Two lives are despoiled, two homes are crushed, and nobody knows for what, We are compelled to ask the old question, which naturally belongs at tho ond of these tragedies, What is her name?” Tt requires a great deal of practice to tell the whole trath, It may not be ono of the tost arts, but it Is cer- tainly on@of the most neglected. It 1s a great deal | more difficult than those who ere not accustomed to do it imagine, A single attowpt will make us more chari- table toward others who do not succecd any better than | we do ourselves, Norman Macleod once attended a mecting of scientists iu which the metcoric theory was discuesed. He seems to have boen greatly stirred by { tho assumptions of what 1s called advanced thought, for he made a speech whose wit charmed if its logic did not convince, Ho afterward wrote to a friend that “Perhaps the men of science would do well, in accordance with these latest results, to rewrite the first chapter of Genesis in this way :— |. The earth was without form and void. “IL A meteor fell upon the earth. “ILL The result was fish, flesh and fowl. “IV, From these procecded the British Association, “V, And the British Association pronounce ital tolorably good.’? Thore isa man in Boston who has doubled his con- tributions to benevolent societies, giving as a reason therefor that the times are hard and a great many pco- pie cpn't give anything. Boston isa good place for such a man to live in in ordinary times, but during the Centennial that man should be transported to Philadel- phia, A properly administered exbibition of such a specimen of the genus homo ata very small price per head might ultimate in paying off the entiro church in- debteduess of the Republic. Everybody would want to see-him, and even toreignera might be persuaded to go home and do likewise. The Unitarians boast that if they can build ten eburches a year for an indefinite terms of years they will sometime become a large and flourishing denomina- tion. This arithmetic Is unquestioned, and this bright and cheery spirit of prophecy 1s commendable. We are reminded, however, of the Texan orator who said that ten years ago he could have bought a hundred acres of land for a new pair of beots, and if he had made the bargain he would to-day be worth a million. Some one asked him how he could havo missed such an opportunity. ‘Miss it?” he rephed, sadly, ‘‘why the trouble was I hadn’t the boots,” ‘The temporance movement in Massachusetts is en- larging its boundaries, and its membership is increas- ing in spite of the hot weather. If men can abstain irom what are called “cooling drinks” in tho summer soistice they will not be tempted during the rest of the year by tho fragrant lemon peel and the insidious something else, which 80 many barkeepers unite with a skill worthy of a botter cause and so many customers consume as though their very lives depended upon look- ing through the bottom of the glass. The temperance movomeng in this city is spasmodic in charactor and laughuble iu method. On one day everybody was ar- rested, and the next day everybody was free and at his old tricks again. It was all a pleasant little joko—just to show that the city authorities could, if they would, do something; but they are not expected to have anothor spasm for quite awhile Many wero frightenod but few burt, Some very poor Biblical witticisms have lately died in consequence of the Jaw of natural selection, which declares that only the strong can attain to maturity. Some one asked, “Who was the first gambler?” and the answer was returned ‘*Alpha-bet,”’ of course. But this could not be true, because we hear of Adam’s having 4 pair o’ dice, which was cortainly a good be. gipning for the race, , Mr, Bergh indulges in a species ot logic at times which seoms to bo subversive of all law and order. He says that our penal statutes are oppressive and malig- nant, and that new legislation is demanded by an en- lightened sympathetic people; for when a man gets mad and kills his neighbor the law imprisons, but will not take his lite, bat when a dog goes mad and simply bites a man ne 1s mercilessly clubbed and killed with- out opportunity to uppeal to the courts. A sweet-temperod home 1s ag near to heaven as one can get on this side the Jordan, Itisa luxury, how- ever, which not every one enjoys, It is vastly expen- sive to support a scolding wife, and men of ordivary means ought not to be compelied, in these hara times, oR @ hot-hodse, stinctive imitation is an almost irresistible force of human nature. 1f Darwin’s argument is that a mon- key imitates men, that men imitate each other, and that, therefore, there must be some affinity Lotween Jocko and James, bis position is certainly a stroug one, When an actor screws his face ito the distor- tion of comedy or tragedy halt the audience will do the same thing. It would bo as amusing to watch tho audience as the actor were it not tor the tact that you are doing the same thing yourself, The other evening, while the congregation was pouring oat of an uptown church, acouple of wags opened their umbrellas, hesi- tated a tew minutes and then quietly walked of. The consequence was that nearly hall the audience lifted their umbrellas and began their walk home on a starlit and beautiful night. Some theological students have been puzzling their brains to answer the question of little Minnie, “Mother, what is the difference between baptism and vaccina- tion?” A majority has concluded that the two are more nearly alike than we tBinx. They both symbol- | ize tho introduction of a new element into ‘tho blood, ! which is the life” People differ as much about what we sball du when we get beyond tho valeas they do about what we ! ought to do beicre we etart. The Indian tally expects to chase the wild decr aud hear the music of his bay- ing hounds, He is to pitch his tent in a sunny land where the medicine wan will lose bis occupation. The old Goth looked forward to driuking beer out of the skulls of bis enemies and baving such o wild and hilarious time as earth nover dreamed of Moore says of anotixer race that— A Persian's heaven Is easly made, ‘Tis but binck eyes and lemonade. Some very encouraging news has been received from Timbuctoo, Missionaries were sent into that benighted country, and the Home Society anxiously awaitea a Teport of progress, knowing that the inhabitants were alittle careless about the Golden Rule, The longed for report came at last, but, dias! it was from the natives, and ran thus:—‘Your missionaries wore good ; please send some more.” Some people depend for salvation on faith and others foci securo in works. The two, however, always go to- gether and cannot bo separated. Unless you have both you had better not boast of having either. A man the other day on being asked if he bad inct the Siamese Twins answored that he was well acquamted with one of them, but that he had never seen the other. Faith and works are united by a ligament which cannot be severed, and he who knows the one is sure to make the acquaintance of the other, There is a commandment somewhere to the effect hat we should be wiso as serpents and harmless as doves, Unfortunately the proportion of these two in- gredients is not given, and, “consequently, a great deal Of latitude in obedience is exercised. There isa very small class of men who put the minimum of the ser- pent and the maximum of the dove together, and they manage to livé harmlessly and inoffensively. They make no noise, attract no attention, but always Icave a tender memory behind when they take their flight to worlds unknown. Then there is a very much larger class of persons who seem to have mingled the maxi- mum of serpent with the minimum of dove, aud the ered that it is not discovered at all These make the consequence js that the dove element {8 so overpow- | din and roar of the world, We have beon thinking of the proper proportion in which these two ingredients should be mingled, and haye come to the conclusion that about a pound of dove is necessary to every ounce of serpent, Even then you will find the mixture pretty strong. MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. ' METHODIST, At the session of the Primitive Methodist Church of Canada, held this week im Toronto, a letter was received from the General Conference of tho Methodist Church of Cansda expressing a desire for organic union with the Primitive Methodists, The Methodist General Conference voted that the question of division into white and black conferences may be decided by the conferences thembelves. When- ever a majority of both white and colored members in any conterence shall ask for a division of such confer- ence on the color line it should be granted. Rev. ¥, M.

In thousands of places there may be union meetings of all Christian people for prayer on the morning of that great day. Let them celebrate it with powder and brasy who pro- for such demonstrations of gladness, but the people of God should not forget, on the hundredth anniversary. of independence, to “enter his gutes with thanksgiv- ing and his courts with praise,” Rev. Dr. E. R. Fairchild has removed from Morris- town, N. J., to Mendham, to the same State. In view of the manifest irreligion, intidelity, cor- ruption, dishonesty, personal and political, which now abound, tho membors of the Evangelical Mintsteriay Association of Vittsburg and vicinity have recom- mended their churches to observe the second Sabbath of July, 1876, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to God for the bleagings vouchsafed to our nation i all its past bistory, end they further resolved that on thay day especially they will implore God’s blessing upon the future of our nation, and they recommend that special sermons be preached in their pulpits calling at tention to the prevailing evils and corruptions, personal and political, of our times and the moral needs of our nation; and also request the ministry and churches of tho whole country to unite with them in a like observ, ance of said day.

When Mr. Moody went iv Chicago the other day and attracted such Tmujuitudes the local papers were forced to contrast them with the comparatively sinali follow - ing waich he had before he went to England, So great was the rush to hear him that the managers of the show adopted the sysiem of ticket admissions. which haye been voted such a contemptible nuisance in other cities: that its lessons ought not be lost there, The Independent Hebrew gives a rumor that an ugly feeling is manifested in certain public schvols of this city toward Jewish children, and that teachers gratity their animus by making insulting remarks and other- wise behaving in a disrespecuul inauner toward Jewish pupils because of their religious faith, Rabbi Muyer, of Baltimore, against whom charges were made that he hed ministered in Christian churches in Europe as a convert to Christianity, and afterward, without any recantation of faith, became again a rabbi. of a ish congregation, has been obliged to retire trom his pulp! ngregation In Veatigated the charges and the majority sustaimed Mr. Mayer.

WHY ISRAELITES WEAR BORDERS TO THEIR GARMENTS—REV. MR. JACOBS’ GIVES THE REASON. There was a fair attendance in tho synagogue in Thirty-fourth sircet yesterday, The music, vocal and instrumental, was excellent avd the devotion good. Rev. Mr. Jabobs began his discourse by saying that a quostion has ojten been ratsed, with a soeming show of plausibility, “Is thoro a religion possible without a long array of ceremonials and al! those forms that aro at- / tathed now to religion ?*? Now, the question in this shape is putin an ingenuous manner. You have to answer it aflirmatively, And yet there is another side of the question, and if we will view it from another standpoint wo shall find that all uystems have their forms and ceremonies, which scem to be necessary adjuncts; and in Judaism this seems to be essentiul, Theso core- monies symbolize essential traits in our national char- acter and help to combie us together and keep us one people, Judaism has been charged by its antagonists with being a mere code of forms and ceremonies, with ttle cise beside, But this charge is unreasouabie and will not stand the teat oi experience, Lt Judaism wus a thing of mere form and ceremony tt would never have lived the lite that it bas lived and it would net have deserved to live. But 1 is something more and stronger and botter than this; and its ceremonies are designed to propagate the Ligher forms of spiritual life, There wre, however, many so-called ceremonies that are objectionable.

ITS PRESENT ASPECT—OFFICIAL STATEMENTS AND FIGURES. The progress of the railway war bas been very fully given in the HkraLp from time to time, and it will be a curious contribution to its history to note that at ne time since travel became common to the masses on the American continent has the transportation of passen gers from remote points in the East and West to the prairies and the seaboard bven so cheap as at the pres- ent. ‘The changes in rates have been dally chronicled in these columns, but 1t is even supposed that special contracts for parties of excursionists and others have been made by the rival trunk lines, which, if made public, would surprise even the cone testants As to freight, eastward and westward bound, the same remark holds true, The latest reductiom in freights was made by the Erio Railway on the 13th inst., based, it 18 said, on information that the Grand Trunk Railway had reduced rates from Boston to the West, and this action was followed by tho Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Company, under the control of the Pennsylvania Central, which did not confine itself te under cutting in freights, but boldly announced a re- duction of 118 passenger tariff trom Chicago from $13 to $11 40 and to Baltimore and Washington, $11, the Pennsylvania offictals stutiog that from Chicago te New York it was not unlikeiy that passengers would be carried for $5, It will thus be seen that the hosule feeling is becoming more intense, with no present prow pect of a harmonious settiement of the great interests invoived, ‘The Now York Central officials hava persistently denied that they bave initiated this state of affairs, and it seems with good reason; tor it must be upparent te tho most careless observer that if some heroic remedy had not promptly been applied by the Central this city would soon have become a mere way station and the great commerce of Now York diverted from, its patural channels to the rival cities of Boston and Philadelphia, 1t was to meet this danger and avert i¢ that the great trunk line identified with the com> mercial interests of this port made the reductions of Jane 1 and 10 for West bound freight, and followed tne reductions of tts rivals for East bound freights of all classes, The Boston, Hartford and New Haven Road, too, aided in the complications through the use of the old steamer Maryland in transporting pas- sengers, withéut chango of cars, trom Morrisauie around the city to the whart of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Jersey City, thus ignoring New York alto« gether, The Vice President of the Central also asserts, as corroborative of the disposition of the Erio Railway to divert trade from the Cen contrary to agro ment, that a party of excarsionists, consisting of thirty. eight persons, had beon forwarded over the Erie and its connections from North Adams, Mass., to Omaha im, first class cars and trains at $20 cach, when the Jnr fare was $38.
