Latimer once said that if ne bad an enemy to whom it was lawful to wish evil be would wish him “great store of riches, for then he would never enjoy quiet.’’ Would that some ancestor of ours had been that enemy, and that the wish bad been gratified. Cato’s daughter refused to marry a second time be- cause her father was rich, and she was alraid that her suitors were looking atthe old gentiemen’s govern- ment coupons rather than at ber pretty face. Human ature has not improved much since then, but tem- inine timidity has materially decreased. It was a monk, and, more than that, it was a monk in a fable, who had his fishing net on the table every day that he might be reminaed of bis humble origin. As civilization advances we like to jusethe remem- brance of these little frets, St, Augustine had a prayer to which a great many young men can respond a hearty amen. He was ac- customed to say with siugular devotion, “O Lord! make me good, bat not yet awhtic,” After jooking over kone of the reports of certain educational institutions we have come to the conciu- sion that the rudiments of teaching cousist of a small child and a willowy rattan. A large amount of knowl- edge is introduced through the palm of the hand, and yet the child is ungratetul and the parents complain, Is a strange world. A man’s roligion consists of his ability to conjugate ‘the vero ‘To love.” When be begins with tho first person singular, ‘I love,’ he generally refers to Lim- self as the sbject of lis affection, But after a while Le hears the/voice of the imperative mood, “Love thou,” and then he understands the pleasure, the luxury of giving and forgiving, of bearing and forbear- ing. At last he cries out, **We all love!’ and then he treads on the edgo of the millenuium, and you may expect him to pay his honest depss, even bis doctor’s Dill and bis pew rent, and take bis flight from this knotty and naughty world. Some people's religion is just like a wooden leg. There is neither warmth nor life im it, and, altho it helps you to hobble along, it nover bacomes a part of you, but has to be strapped on overy morning. Tho world is so curiously made that when a rich man indulges in a peccadillo people look over it; but at, Inthe one case it is an eccentricity, you know, and in the other a shamefal thing, you know. Money, like charity, covers a multitude ot sing, Cases are very mach altered by circumstances. It youask the blooming young lady to take a pound of tea to old Mrs, Brown, who lives four blocks off, She says she is worn out, and however much she would like to do tt, she really can’t, Sho looks pale enough at the very mention of such a thing to be on the edge of a hasty consumption. But if there is to bea german, and you object because it is warm weather, ana the exercise is too great, she declares that sho is fresh ag a lark and that the gymnastics of the dance are just what she needs, Old Mrs, Brown almost always has @ wearing efect ona young girl, but the anticipation of a danco, with bouillon to keen the sirength up, ice cream to cool off with and Adolpbus to protect her from highway robbery on the way home enables her to endure the pangs of living with becoming and com- plete resignation. Marringo is a very curious institution, and in some of its eflects 1t is startling. During that dreamy pe- riod which most delighttuliy precedes the benedicuoa up before the sun, climb to tho mountain your hands, tear your clothes, and deem it a precious privilege to piuck the only flower that has blossomed and lay it at the fect of the goddess, But two years alter if the same goddess wants a flower sho is the most unreasonable creature in the world, and if she insists on baving it she may get it the best way she can. Such is lite. Cornell University occumes a very novel and prepos: terous position, It was sturted asa neutral institu- ton, where, in tae words of the founder, “a man can learn anything.” Lt turned out to be an institution Christianity, How to geta neuter gender for the chair of Hebrew was a problem. rofessor Adler was at last opmion on any religious subject than any other. it is discovered that he has been delivering lectures on Nothingarianism in New York, and that the Nothing- arsans are just as much a sect as the Episcopalians or Methodists. So Profes-or Adler gets a leave of ab- sence. The Lord was right when He made only two genders, the magcu!ine and feminine, and this is not dor is simply a monstrosity, Some wit is to be found amid the penalties of the law. The Judge satd, “Prisouer, you can have tbirty days or $25."" ‘The seedy nobleman, who hud years ayo dropped the jewel of bis manhood into a whiskey and answered, “Your Honor, as 1 feel pretty poor just pow, J think I will take $25, Thank you.” A gossip 18 4 man or a woman, best represented by @ mark of interrogation followed by one of exclama- tion. If be is of the masculine gender he can shake his bead more significantly over the tact that Deacon Jones? cog snapped at the legs of neighbor Burton at just three o'clock yesterday afternoon than most people could at all the secrets in the Police Depart. meow by that complex shake of the head he can communicate to you all the details of atragedy. You know ,at once by the vlink of bis oyes and by bis deprecating gesture that the reason why Deacon Jones’ dog suappea at Burton ie that the eoachmau heard at the tavern, from tho lips of @ Wan whose mother-in-law told him, that it must have been Burton who stole Deacon Jdhes’ chickens or else the dog wouldn't have snapped. ioe immediately asks you who Burton was before he was married, where he waa, what he was and if there evor was a tine when he wasn’t so mach as he was then, promising to keep profoundly evcrot all the dreadial facts you may tell him. iv is the product of a Inub civilization, It is as impossible for him to keep from muking trouble as it would be for a sculptor to make a plaster cast of a river's head of navigation.

This isa remarkahiy fraittul season for ministerial tourists. Notwithstanding the tnancial embarress- monts of the coun'ry for three or more years past our city and country ministers must have mado or saved money enough, or their congregations have been gen- erous enough (as some have), to givo them the time andthe money wherewith to muke a trip to Europe both desirable and agreeable. There are extra attrac. tions, too, on the other side of the Atlantic this year which aro not found there every year, The Papal Jubiieo has called off a large number of prelates and priests from all parts of this country, and still they go. Bishop Krautlauer, of Green Bay, Wis., has gone and Jett nis diocese in charge of Bishop Heiss, of LaCrosse, Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia, with sey- eral of the clergy of nis diocese, has gone also and twken with him money and presents Valued at about $75,000, Bishop Manuey, of Daima, | Texas, has more recently started on bis journey Rome- ward, not merely to be present at the jubilce, but also | to comply with a requirement of lis Church that all Prolates shall make a visit to the Holy See bojore the expiration of the third year after their appointment and once every ten years thereafter. About two years have elapsed since Bishop Manuey wus appointed to a dioceso larger than the five States comprised in New England, The Rev, Charles Kerner, of Pottstown, Pa., is preparing for asummer tour in Europe also.

And now that promise bad been tulfilled in their experience, und they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other than their hative or acquired languages to ail the then dwell ers in Jerueaiem concerning the strange things that had taken place, A very coniplex miructe must have been performed on that memorable sentecostat day tn the year 93 or 34 of the Christian era, The “rushing as of a mighty wind’? in au still and closed Toon was itsel{ a supernatural thing; the appearance | of “cloven tongues as of tire’ and the vonscions per- | sonal presence o: tne Holy Ghost were evidences | of a power not ot the carth nor within their control, And whother the 12 disciples were able to speak | ip the several languages and dialects ot the foreigners present in the Holy City, or whether an effect was pro- duced upon the oars of the hearers ty thy speect of | the disciples in the Hebrew or Greek lauguages, does | not make much diflerence, It was a wonaertul (hing 4 miracle of divine power in either case, And it provea that Jesus Corist had gone to heaven, as He said, and that He was divine, as He had uiso said. So that the uposties could now ‘trust in that word which acclared | that all power in heaven and ou earth hud been given to Him, and that His apostles should go inio all, the world und teach every creature, in the conscious «hope and assurance — that He, -the All-Powerfal, would be with them unto the cud of the world.
