v.. . rr ... i .... Motor mm j 3 ivnrrrm SUNDAY READING. Kcliion Rooted In Doctrine. Southern Presbyterian. A man may bo mechanically reli gious. He tna" perform its outward relative duties as a matter of habit in whic h lie has been trained. But if his religion has no root in his understand ing and conscience if it does not de rive its vital subsistence from doctrin al beliefs, more or less intelligently and conscientiously apprehended, it is no more religion, in the Bible sense of the term, than are the articulate chat tering of the parrot, acquired by special training and habit, the utter ances of intelligent speech on the part of the bird that thus gives forth artic ulate sounds. Such religion is reli gion by rote. It is mere immilation a pantomime. The phonograph that wonderful invention of the time is hardly less intelligent in repeat ing the vibrations of vocal and articu late sounds after the speaker h:s gone from the instrnment, than is the man truly religious who practices religion without any understanding of why he does so without any knowledge whatever of the doctrinal principles which underlie his forms of religious worship, ami which are the law and guide of religious dutj. The Two Extreme. X. C Frfisbyterian. Minds there arc that seem to Iuxu asite iii passivity. Chameleon-like they take their color f'roTi the minds surrounding. Their happy possessors know nought of brain toil, whatever else the3' know. An impression, too faint to be an opinion, is made by the first strong nature they come in con tact with, and retained until another, as strong as he, sponges it off and im prints his off. They live and laugh and loiter along, but the world is none the belter nor wiser nor stronger for them. Harmless they are as enemies, because the- lack the energy of hate, unless they are as friends, because they cannot command intensitj' of af fection. They receive our tolerance, but the cannot inspire our respect. Quite in contrast with these is the touchy man. He is sometimes likened to a powder magazine. The simile is perfect in the respect that either is easily fired and will blow up in a twinkling. But the magazine blows itself up, and that, unfortunately, the touchy man never does. The maga zine goes off and is gone, like "Grand fa titer's Clock," never to go again : but the human combustible does not, except metaphorically ; you wish he would ; you would go off j ourself if you could. He stays awhile and gives 3ou a bit of his mind. Generous soul ! You cannot complain of short meas ure, but the weight is very scant, and the quality far below average. But the touchy man is aggressive. He is apt to be a reformer, and de lights in his missions. The world is all, and always wrong; he never is. He delights in candor, so called, when exercised toward others, and finds in numerable opportunities for the dis play of his distinguishing virtue. He is fond of reproving in proportion as lie dislikes to be reproved. He be lieves in the fitness of things and ex eels in saying unpleasant things un jueasanlly. He cannot be loved, but he may well be feared. And yet, if we must take our choice, commend us to the touch- man. Not less than a bushel of letters tome to this office every 3-ear from old and 3-oung men, matrons and maidens, asking that employment of some sort be obtained for them. Most of them are written by persons who are suffering from enforced idle ness and want, and who are honestly seeking help to get a start in life. A large portion of them live in the country, and they think that employ ment in the city is the most desirable, forgetful that there is noplace where the unemployed and dependent suffer so much as in the cities. Some of them are the vainly struggling poor of our own city, who would be glad to accept the work and wa-es which strikers reject, if they were fitted for U and could get to it. What all seem to forget is that the editor of a daily journal has less lime or opportunity to solicit emplo3'ment for them than any other class of people, and that legiti mate newspapers seldom ask favors of an-one. To answer the multitude of such letters that come to us would re quire the constant services of a clerk, and in ninety-nine cases out of ahun, dred tho only reply that could be mudo would, be the uniform statement that i.othing can be done for lb emJPhiU SuL3oiie for this paper. iTI others-iu-Law in Guinea. Hay International lieriew. Among the islanders, marriages are not made according to the inclination or by the free choice of the 3-011 ng people, but at the wish of the families, who consult their convenience alone when the- affiance their children, most freequenlly at a veiy tender age. When the aarrangemenl is completed, the betrothed are forbidden to associ ate with each other. The etiquette which regulates the affair is -er3- rig orous, and presses heavily upon the little Jviuces. They are forbidden to look at each other, and it is enjoined upon the 3 onng girl so to arrange mat ters that her future husband cannot see her. When the3- meet each other on the road an accident which can not fail to occur occasionally the girl, who rarely goes out alone, being warned by her companions, is bound to keep herself hidden behind a tree or bushes from the time that her fu ture lord and master comes in sight till he has passed 13-. t happens often that the two are of the same company for instance, when thcy cross from one island to another in the same boat.. Then the childlike and simple courtesy which gives the law in these regions demands that the- turn their backs, and look stead-fasti- in opposite directions. The be trothed must also avoid all contact with the members, both masculine and feminine, of the family into which the3' are about to enter. From the future father-in-law and the future mother-in-law the3' must guard them selves as from the plague. One day when Mr. Van Hasselt was in his school, one of the boys suddenly threw himself under the table, where he re mained motionless. Not knowing what to think, the frightened teacher was rushing to the child, when his comrades called him back. "It is nothing." they said, "only his broth er's future mother-in-law is going by !"

Prof. Green, a distinguished alio pathic physician, wrote to the Medi cal Record to the effect that after all other means had failed, he sent for the Kidney Cure (Safe Kidney and Liver Cure), and to his astonishment cured a serious case of JJright's Disease ' by administering it, and afterwards found it equally beneficial in other cases. -Ado.
