Aphorism Pro in Itotlic.
tKANPLATBO HY C. C. S
Continued.
Materialism, and especially mater
ialistic Pantheism, appears in the
highest degree plausible to all tho.-c
who have a consciousness of their
own emptiness and good-for-noth-ingnessjwithout
feeling disgusted a
themselves thereby.
The superficial system (as for in
stance. Materialism, and many forms
of Pantheism) have a strong claim
to the applause of all mediocre and
easy-going brains. They offer a
concise solution of problems, and
one easy to formulate, aud easy to
repeat.
Materialism is a tendency, not a
system; it cannot, therefore, be
overcome by opposing a system to
it, however able such an opposing
system might be.
The people in our day begin to
have ft consciousness of the human
worth of material things for truly
humau purposes: it is this which
men call the Materialism of our age.
Heaven, the locality of God, is
everywhere in the creation (in cos
mic space) where God has already
given himself therein a real being,
where, consequently, he has a being
in space, but one which does not
limit him. Heaven, therefore, is in
a process of infinite growth, aud is
therefore itself infinite.
Creation is Creation only so far as
in it there is nowhere a leap, but
each of its members is an actual de
velopment out of the link of the
chain next preceding it.
The creation of Man, like that of
Xaturc, is not yet concluded. Itoth
proceed "alongside of each other in
perfect parallelism.
The powers of nature are unques
tionably "clastic" (even according to
experience) for they are infinitely
modifiable by one another.
Man has many individual thoughts
In his productions; God, when He
creates, has one single thought,
which comprehends all in all.
It is very well, to go back, in
Physics, to Atomism ; but when men
see in the whole of Xaturc nothing
more than an aggregate of Atoms
when they forget, that the Creator
of Atoms has, out of them, by his
creativo activity, brought forth
something incomparably higher:
this is, to put it in the mildest terms,
n mischievous want of thought.
Whoever tries to explain the
world without the idea of God, is
J obliged to guess; whoever, with
this idea, sets about understanding
it, can explain it.
If God could bring the creation to
no better result than what it now is
in our experience, lie would never
i havo set about bringing it in to
J being.
Only few men have the native
capacity of fixing their eye and in
terest upon both at once, upon God
and the World,..,- - - -
Singular men, to whom, in pro
portion .as the world becomes great
to them, God becomes small.
All true Inventions arc only Dis
coveries. The pain of sympathy is the only
pain which God can experience.
God's activity through the Angels,
is the natural result of his being in
the Angels.

Seventeen 2ootl Habits.
1. Abstinence from tobacco and
intoxicants.
I. Tcmperaucc at meals.
3. Daily attention to all the con
ditions of health.
4. Constant occupation.
5. Doing at once what is requir
ed. G. Having a time and place for
every thing.
7. Fidelity to all appointments
and duties.
S. Paying for everything in ad
vance. 9. ltcgular pursuits in some sci
ence. 10. Giving as well as receiving.
II. Aiming at harmony iu con
versation. 12. Looking always on the bright
side.
13. Associate with none but good
society.
14. Talking on edifying subjects.
15. Acting always iu the right
spirit.
16. Realizing the presence of God
at all times.
17. Spend leisure hours reading
good books.
Housekeepers should purchase a
supply of ammonia to use in house
cleaning. The husband has every
thing to lighten his labors. Now
suppose lils wife had her bottle of
ammonia to usc;sho takes a basin
of water and a clean cloth, puts on
a few drops of fluid, and wipes off
all the dirt; it is worth more than a
half day's hard labor and does not
hurt the paint either. She could
put a few drops into her dishwater,
aud sec how easy the dishes could
be cleaned ; a few drops on a sponge
would clean all the windows in the
sitting room, make them shine like
crystal. It would take the stains off
teaspoons, too, and a tablespoonful
in the moppail would do more to
ward washing up the kitchen floor,
than ten pounds of elbow grease ap
plied to the mop handle. A house
wife has just as much right to make
her work easy and expeditious as
her husband has. If she docs not
do it, the fault is her own in a great
measure. Farm and Fireside.
Grains of Gold.
Atlcntiou to little things is the
economy of virtue.
Love's words are written on rose
leaves, but with tears.
A good word for a bad one is
worth much aud costs little.
That of which proud people arc
often proudest is their pride.
Hope may bud under clouds, but
it blows only in sunshine.
The more honesty a man has the
less he effects the air of a saint.
If you wish to pronounce an
impartial judgement accept no favor.
Juggling with yourselves is the
first step in almost every wicked
ness. Don't tell unlikely or silly stories,
even if you know them to be true.
If you must speak upon a difficult
point be the last speaker if you
can.
Those who arc honest "as the best
policy," arc half way to being ro
gues. Dignity is expensive, and without
other good qualities, it is not par
ticularly profitable.
We are ruined not by what we
really want, but by what we think
we waut.
One is never conscientious during
action only the looker on has a con
science. "When I shall be a man 1" is the
poetry of childhood; "When I was
young," the poetry of old age.
Men beat about the wall with a
hammer, fancying at every blow
they cau hit the nail on the head.
Tolerance comes with age. I see
no fault committed that I myself
could not haye committed at some
time or other.
Hate is an active, envy a passive
displeasure; it need not surprise us,
therefore, to sec how quickly envy
becomes hate.
Solemn Facts.
It would take 320,000 earths to
equal the sun in size.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds
here would weigh 2,700 pounds if
on the surface of the sun.
The heat given off by the sun
would melt 2S7,200,000 cubic miles
of ice every second.
The diameter of the earth bears
the same relation to its distance from
the sun as the breadth of a hair to
125 feet.
A railroad train traveling without
stops at the rate of forty miles an
hour ould get to the sun iu 203
years.
The sun is believed to become
some 250 feet smaller every year.
This contraction would be suffi
cient to generate the enormous
quantity of heat which it radiates.
Another theory is that coinets i,I;1,
meteoric matter failing into the sun
"1:VY be its aliment to offset the trc
incndious loss which coubustion
certainly involves.
It would require the combustion
of thirty feet of coal over the entire
surface of the sun every second to
generate the same heat.
The stars arc supposed to average
larger than our sun, and to have
planetary systems like his.
The nearest star is 250,000 times
as far off as our sun.
It take light eight minutes to
come from the sun, but it must have
required 50,000 years to come from
the fartherest visible stars.
When tho eleven-year storms on
the sun occurcdthc magnetic needle
on the earth is variable, and some
times considerable deflected.
Tho earth is Uyiug around the sun
at the rate of 1,000 miles a minute.
The sun aud all the stars are mov
ing through space, accompanied by
their planetary systems at a rate
varying from 20 to 200 miles a sec
ond. A young fellow at college wrote
to his uncle, on whom he entirely
depended.
Dv Deaic Uxct.k: Ready for the
needful. Your affectionate neph
ew. The uncle replied :
My Deah Nephew: The needful
is not ready. Your affectionate
uncle.
It is pleasant that affection should
survivepcennary cmbaraccments, as
in the case of Samuel Footc's moth
er aud himself:
Dear. Sam : I am in prison for
debt. Como and assist your loving
mother. E. Foote.
Sam replied :
Demi Mother: So am I : which
prevents Ids duty being paid to his
loving mother, by her affectionate
son. Sam Foote.
The best society and conversation
in tho world is that in which the
heart has a greater share than the
head.
It is not so dangerous to do evil
to most men as to do them too much
good.

themselves better than the truth.
