Ft f J ; it , v i K i1- s ; : & & r 'i r For tbe Journal. The Keliffion Heeded. Moucurc D. Couway, as recently quoted by you, eays that tbe only religion, needed by humauity is that which will make life more sweet ami gentle. Very true ; and which will do this, the doctrine that -this life is ouly the lower fringo of that "Clear fount of light, our native land on hiph, Briclit with a glory that doth ncer fade," or the doctrine that neither its good nor its ill, neither its highest virtue, nor its deepest wickedness, has any essential or eternal biguifkauce? How much sweetness is likely to come Into life from the drear blank nesa of such a view ? We learn that the Saddticeep, who held thin view were lew, wealthy and cruel. They honored their creed by a character conformed to it. This creed, however, may take an opposite direction, that of a pathet ic despair. That is its form in Buddhism, which, as Goldwin Smith lemarks, has begotten neither a elate, nor a church, nor a civiliza tion, nor a literature, but merely a cougcriiH ot stagnating monasteries. Halted of pain; honor of a&ceti cibtu ; a mere retiued Epicureanism, glazed for a while by the light of higher sentiments, that 6priug from a nobler faith, but by its own inte rior law of development becoming ever coarser and harder. A noble creed, this, truly 1 It was over just such a creed that the Gospel of the loving and righteous Kedeemerouce triumphed, and over it that it will triumph again. Conway's religious history is about equal to his theology. He says that every prophet taught love, and every system hate, Mahomet, at the head of his fierce Arabs, offering "The Koran tribute, or the sword," is a precious exponent of love, is he not? In this century there was in deed a cry for the restoration of hiB real doctrine, and there issued from it those fierce fanatics, the Waha bees. And Ituddha taught that love, indeed, is better than hatred, but that the perfect stale is that of him who neither loves nor hates. And the Buddhist system has beeu per fectly faithful to both sides of his teaching. These slapdashassertions of-Conway are very taking to the multitude, and very worthless. The assertion that as science ad vances, supernatural terrors will teem more and more grotesque, has no meaning unless it is, that physic al science will destroy the belief in the life after death. For assuredly in every life wickedness will entail woe. And how Physical Science is to have any authority in a province wholly out of her range does not appear. Moucurc D. Conway need not put on bo mauy airs, and make such a flourish over his creed. It is simply the old one: Man, not as enibody iug the purpose, aud . sharing the nature and blessedness of the Living God, but Man as the ceutre aud end, believing and liviug from the pres ent scope of pleasure aud hatred ot pain. Moncure D. Conway was brought up a Christian, and remains personally a man of high ideals. But Atheism, however disguised, is blill Atheism, aud has logically and historically only one of two issues: Debauchery or Despair. c. c. s. Clakidon, O., Dec. 11, "SO. - I.oatinfc- The practice of loafing is one that , is .to be discountenanced by every one engaged in business. How often do wo 6ee more especially in a village such as our own the mer chant's 'business materially iujured by this practice. "Wo do not mean the occasional patron who stops to chain few moments when his pur chase is completed but this crowd of men aud boys who habitually anuoy the business mau. These familiar faces too familiar which you can see day after day and even ing after evening in their different places of resort, lounging aud smok ing, and not unusually indulging in profanity aud vulgarity. These habitual loafers, who6e faces are al most as prominent a feature of the establishment as the sign above the door these are they who persistent ly hold possession of the place, not withstanding the pointed insinua tions and broad Inula of the proprie tor that their room would be pre ferable to their company. As a rule they make this a place of discussing the affairs of others, criticising the conduct of their neighbors and not unfrequeutly slandering those who attend to their own affairs. To say the least of it, this system of loafing is pernicious. Imagine (he feeliugs of a sensitive-lady, who on eutering a store door, is greeted by a cloud of tobacco smoke, a chorus of laugh ter from half a dozen pairs of star ing qyes. Yet this is just what they - have to meet with in the stores where losfiug is not entirely pro hibited. The loafer, as a rule, is not a profitable patron. He generally is a Miioker, aud is always on the look-out for a treat. He uever buys anything that he can beg, and is al ways posted on the last "racket" they had iu school; is always the first man at a fight, and the last one to go home. He generally is a good talker in a way he does a great deal of it, talks all the time, in fact, it would appear as though talking was his mission into the world. He wears good clothing and )s some times "cute." Makes a hero of him self in the eyes of sensible men. Never imagines that he is in any one's way, but has a notion thai he is a public benefactor. The mer chant wishes to get rid of him but cannot. All the insinuations he may throw out arc useless aud unheeded ; they aro always meant for some one else. Should he toll him, "thou art the man," he becomes offended and swears eternal veugeance. Reader, are you a loafer? If you are think for a moment. Toil occu y that room which the proprietor has built or rented for his business, and to which you have no more claim than he has to your private parlor at home. Because you are a loafer, persons are suspicious of you and do not like to transact business in your presence, and will not do so if they can avoid it. They will go to the house that has no loafers, if there be one. Hence you injure business by your presence. You iujure communities and individuals by your gossip. You injure small boys by your example. Yon injure yourself by spending your time hi idleness while you might be acquir ing knowledge that would be useful to you in after life. Blue Springs Reporter. Soiuc I'urlouM Fuctw. Alabama is as large as Euglaud, yet has only 1,000,000 people to Eng land's 21,000.000. California, with less than 1,000,000 of people, is very little smaller than France with 30, 000,000. Nevada is a little smaller, aud Oregon is larger, thau New York and Pennsylvania combined; so either of these new slates could easily hold the two older states' combined population of 8,000,000. We do not thiuk Massachusetts over-crowded with 1,500.000, nor Ohio with less than :J,000,000, nor New York with 4,500,000; and yet if Texas were settled as thickly as New York, its 1,000,000 would grow to 21,000,000; it like Massachusetts, it would hold 52,000,000, or more than the present population of the Union. There aro only fifteen states out of the thirty-eight which have each more thau 1,000,000 ot people, while there are fourteen states which have a larger area than Eng land, with her 21,000,000. Settled like England, these states would have more thau 300,000,000. The states toward which immigration is mainly settling are Minnesota, Ne braska, Kansas, Texas and Colorado. These about equal Missouri in pop ulation, while their area is ten times hers. So, to be equally populated like Missouri, sparsely populated as the state is, these five should have 20,000,000; aud, to be settled like Massachusetts, being ninety times as large, they must have 135,000,000, or three times our present population. If the whole territory of the union were settled like New York, it would contain 270,000,000; if like Massachusetts, 500,000.000; and if it reached England's ratio of inhabi tants to the square mile, its popula tion would almost equal the present population of the globe. Lore aud Politic. Not far from Lackawaxen, Pike County, Pa., is the home of two young ladies, sisters, aged respect ively eighteeu aud twenty years. They were each receiviug the ad dresses of lovers, who were broth ers, aud both couple were engaged to be married. It was their inten tion to celebrate a double wedding about the holidays, but now matters have chauged. A few days ago the four were sitting together iu the parlor at the girls' home when the elder lady expressed a desire to at tend a political meeting then being held in a near-by village. She asked her lovor to accompauy her, but he refused point blank, giving as his reason that he was uot a Democrat. The young lady insisted, but still he refused. Finally she turned to his brother, who, it seems, was a Dem ocrat, and asked him to accompauy her. To the surprise of all he at once consented aud they went to the meeting. The two who remained at home were quite indiguaut, tbe one at the conduct of her lover, the other at the way his sweetheart had acted. The more they discussed it the an grier they became. They discov ered that they the ones at home were both Republicans, while the two who had gone wore of Demo cratic proclivities. They talked on, discovering little by little similari ties of tastes aud habits, and finally resolved each to break with the old love and form a new alliance. No sooner resolved than the compact was ratified by a kiss, when by chf uco the others entered. The gen tleman told hie brother at once what they had decided to do. To his great surprise uo sorrow was shown, uo anger manifested, and his wonder was increased when he was iuformed that the other couple, while on their walk home, had re solved to do just the same thiug. The hugging, therefore, now goes on as usual, and weddings will take place about. New Years. Cor. JV. Y. Times. The minister asked the Sunday school: "With what remarkable weapon did Sampson at one time slay a uumber of Philistines?" For a while there was no auswer, and the minister, to assist the children a little, began tapping bis jaw with the tip of finger, at the same time saying: ''What's this what's this?' Quick as thought a little fellow quite innocently replied: "The jaw bone of an ass, sir." IHxlttecn! At eighteen the true narrative of life is yet to be commenced. Before that time we sit listening to a. tale a marvelous fiction delightful sometimes aud sad sometimes; al ways unreal. Before that time our world is heroic its inhabitants half divine or semi-demon ; its scenes are dream scenes; darker woods and stranger hills, brighter skies, more dangerous waters, sweeter flowers, more tempting frnits, wider plains, drearier deserts, sunnier fields than are found in nature over spread our enchanted globr. "What a moou we gaze ou before that time I How the trembling of our hearts at her aspect bears wituesa to its un utterable beauty ! As to our sun, it is a burning heaven the world ot gods. At that time at eighteen, drawing near the confines of illu sive, void dreams, Elf-laud lies be fore us, the shores of reality rise in front. These shores are yet dis tinct ; they look so blue, soft, gentle, we lout; to reach them. In sunshine we see a greenness beneath the azure as of spring meadows ; we catch glimpses of silver lines aud imagine the roll of liviug waters. Could we but reach this laud we think to hun ger and thirst no more; whereas, many a wilderness, aud often the flood of death, or some stream ot sorrow, as cold and almost as black as death, is to be crossed ere true bliss cau be tasted. Every joy that life gives must be earned ere it is secured ; and how hardly earned those ouly know who have wrestled for great prizes. The heart's blood must grace with red beads the brow of the combatants before the wreath of victory rustles over it. At eigh teen we are not aware of this. Hope, when she smiles ou us, aud promises happiness to-morrow, is implicitly believed. Love, when he comes wandering like a lost angel at our door, is at once admitted, wel comed, embraced ; his quiver is not seen ; it the arrows pouetrate, their wound is like a thrill of new life; there are no fears of poison, none ot the barb which no lecche's hand cau extract ; that perilous passion no agony ever iu some of its phases, with mauy, one agony throughout is believed to be an unqualified good. In short, at eighteen the school of experience is to be enter ed, aud her humble, crushing, grind ing, but purifying and iuvigoratiug lessons are yet to be learned. 'Alas, experience 1 No other mentor has so wasted and frozen a face as yours ; none with a hand so inexorable draws the novice so sternly to his task, and forces him with an author ity so resistless to its acquirements. It is by your instructions alone that mau or woman can ever find a safe, track through life's wilds ; without it, how they stumble, how they stray; on what forbidden ground do they intrude; down what dread de clivities arc they hurled 1 Nome Thing to Ilwblleve. When a mau advertises for a part ner, and wants a young mau to put in a email investment of .$100 or 1500, and promisps to pay him a realiza tion ot fifty or one hundred per cent, profit, dou't believe it. When a mau offers to give away knowledge of the utmost value for the cure of con sumption and any and all other dis eases, by merely sendiug a three ceut postage-stamp to prepay pos tage, don't believe it. When a man proposes to make every one else rich, and looks to other people's interest more than to his own, dou't believe it. When a man offers to give you something of great value for something of less value iu other words, give something for nothing, dou't believe it. Many persons ad vertise ou purpose to filch men ot money gained by hard labor, and before entering into any speculation which may be offered to you, take advantage of the many means at your commaud and ascertain the facts with reference to the proposed business before you invest, and thus save your money as well as assist in effectually breaking up all swindling establishments. Origin ol' the Ntory of Santa CltlUM. Santa Glaus is the Dutch uamo for St. Nicholas, the patron saint of boys. He is also said.to have beeu the Bishop of Myra. and to have died in the year G2G. He is also said to have supplied three destitute maidens with their marriage por tions by secretly leaviug money in their windows, aud as his day oc curred just before Christinas, he was thus made the purveyor of the season to all children iu Holland and Flanders, who put out their shoe or stocking in the hope that he would put a prize in them before morning.
