ClIAT bT~THB WAY. 1 wou.d ratber," says Plutarch, "that men should ?ay thcro never wus such a persou as Platarcb than say that Plutarch is uufaithlul." But ho was a heathen, and never enjoyed the luxury ol a govern ment contract. J.atlmer once said that it he had an enemy to whom it was lawful to wish evil bo would wish hint "groat store ol riches, for then he would never enjoy quiet." Would that some ancostor ol ours had been that enemy, and that the wish had boeu grandad. Caio'.a daughter refusod to marry a second time be cause her father waa rich, and she was alrald that her suiters wore looking si the old gentlemen's govern ment coupons rather than at her pretty face. Human nature has not improved much since then, but lew Iniuo timidity bus materially decreased. It was a inouk, aud, more than lhat, it was a monk in a fable, who had his Ashing net on tbo table every day that ho might oe reminded ol bis humble origin. As civlllzutmn advances wo like to loso the remem brance of these little loots. Nt. Augustino had a prayer to which a great many young men can respond a hearty amen. He was ac customed to guy with siugular devotion, "O l,ordl make mo good, but not yet awhile." After looking over some of the reports of certain educational institutions wc have come to the conclu siou that tbo rudiments of touching couSlst ot a small child and a willowy rattan, a largo amount of knuwl. edgo is introduced through tuo palm ol iLe hnnu, and yet the child is ungrateful and the parents complain. It's a strange world. A man's religion consists of his ability to conjugate tlie\cro"io love."' Whon he begins with tho first I person Blugultr, "I love," ho generally rolors to him- I self as the tbjoci ol his afloetlon. But alter a while lie hears the voice of the imperative mood, "l.ovo thou," and then ho understands tho pleasure, the luxury u| giving aud forgiving, ol bearing and forbear ing. At last no cries out, "Wo all love 1? and then ho treads on tho edge ol the millennium, aud you may expect him tu pay his honest debts, even his doctor's bill and his pew rent, and take his flight from this ^knotty and naughty world. Some people's religion is just like a wooden leg. There is neither warmth nor Hfo m It, and, although it helps you to hobble along, it never bscomes apart of you, but has to he strapped on ovory morning. Tbo world Is so curiously mado that wbou a rich man indulges In a peccadillo people Iook over If but when a poor man does tho samo thing they looking it. lu the one case It is an eccentricity, you know and in tho other a shameful thing, you know. Money,' like charity, covors a multitudo ol sins. Cases are very much altered by ciroumstancos. II you ask tbo blooming youug lady to take a pound of tea to old Mrs. Brown, who lives lour blocks off, \he says she is worn out, and however much sh? would like to do It. she really can't, She looks pale enough at the very mention of snob a tnlug to be on the edge of a hasty consumption. But If thcro is to bo a gorman 1 and you object because it is warm weather, ami ilie exerciso is too great, she declares that she la fresh as a lark and that tho gymnastics ol the dance are just what she need* Old Mrs. Brown almost alwavs has u wearing cfloct on a youug girl, but the anticipation of a danco, with bouillon lo keen the strength up. Ice crcain to cool off with aud Adolpbus to protect'ber from highway robbery on tho way homo enables her to endure the pangs ot livlug with becoming and com plete resignation. Marrmgo Is a very curious Institution, and in some ot its effects it Is startling. During that droumy pc rlou which most delightfully precedes tho bcuodtcnoa ol the priest IT the lady wants a wild rose yon will get up bcloro the sun, climb tu tbo mountain's brow, cut your hands, tear your clothes, and deem It a precious privilege to pluck the only flower that has blossomed and lay It at the feet of the goddess. Hut two years alter if the sume goddess wants a flower she is ihe most unreasonable creature m the world, and if she Insists oil having it she may gn it ihe best way she can. Such is lile. Cornell University occupies a very novel and prepos terous positiou. It wus started ns a neutral inMitu lion, where, in lue words of tho lounder, -a man can Jeuru anything." u ,urued out to be an institution whore a man could learn anything except the facts of Christianity. How to got a neuter gender lor the chair ol Hebrew was a problem. I'rolessor Adlor was at lagi chosen, us a man who came nearer to having no - opinion on any religious subject than any other. Now it is discovered that he has boon delivering lectures on Nothingumnlsm in New York, and that the Nothing, ariiuis are just as much a sect as tho Episcopalians or Methodists. So Profes or Adler gels a leave of ah sence. The l^ird was right whon He made'only two genders, tho maiculiue and fennnlne, and this is not tho llrst time wo have been taught lhat the neuter -en ?lor Is simply a monstrosity. dome wit is to he found amid tb? penalties of the law. The .iu<it;o aaiii, "l'risouer, you cuu liure thirty days or |2>." The seedy notilemao, who hud years ago dropped the jewel of his manhood luto a whiskey bottle, looked out Irom under his shaggy eyebrows mid answered, "Your Honor, as 1 lecl pretty poor just dow, i think 1 will tuko $'J5. Thank you.'' .A gossip is a tnan or a woman, beat tepresentod by a mark of Interrogation followed by one of exclama tion. If ho is ol Hie inat-culiuo gender he can shake bis head mom slgniliouiitly over the lact thai Deacon Jones' dog snapped at the legs of neighbor burton at lust three o'clock yesterday afternoon than most people could at all the secrets In the l'ohcc Depart ment liy that complex shako ol the head ho exn communicate to you all tho details of a tragody. Yuti know at oiico by the lihuk of his oyes and by his deprecating gesturo that tho reason why Deacon Joins' dog snapped at Hurt on is that tho ooichmau hoard at the tavern, from tho lips of a man whose mother-in-law told him, that It must have been Durion who stole Deacon .fifties' chickens or clso the dog wouldn't have snapped, lie immediately asks you who Ilnr'ou was before l.c was married, where he was, what ho was and i( there rvor was a tliuo wlieu ho wasn't so much at ho was thou, promising to keep profoundly secret all the dreadful fuels you may tell luin. Ho is tho product ol a limb civilization. It is as Impossible lor him lo keep from m iking trouble us It would he lor a sculptor to make a plaster oast of a river s head of navigation. 1'iiupie may lay what they please about our age not being an ago of laflh.

In treating the question ol the conduct of the peo ple of Israel toward the founder ot the Christian rollg tou and Ilia immediate disciples are olleu lucutioued the Pharisees. and any one who is even slightly acquainted with the Now Testament knows how 're ipmntly th-v arc mentioned und how uinlormiy they aro condemned.

Worcester explains as follows: -"l'harisuicul, itlieullvt- only lo external lortin; sanctimonious, hypocritical."

SMITH'S llll'TIOXAKY. There Is a tilbllcal iliutiouary extuut composed In the inturust ot orthodox Christians, I relcr to tSmi'b's Dictioiiuiy. What does Mmllli say about I'huriseua ? He suys, "Although there would ho hypocrites among liiciu''?Would there? Wo havo yet to see tliu religious sect where there ure out hypocrites?Smith goes ou to say, "It would lie un reasonable lo charge all toe l'Qurisces as u body Willi hypocrisy, in luo sense wherein we use the worn. The most impartial source ol' information respecting the Pharisees is llio ?Wi-hnu,' tlio llrsl great ruUbinical work comp led toward tho end ol tlio second century, aud it may saiuly be ussermd (suys Smith) mat it is ueiiriy nnpo.-.sihle to bitvo un adequute concepliim re specting tne Pharisees without consulting that work." I wonder how uiany Christian ministers have done so? How many liavo even heard of it? I recollect that Diuihcr Moody when lie was laboring in this city made the following observation, which 1 know from my uwu hearing. lie said: ? "Why, the Pharisees cared only tor keeping their hands and their planers clean, whilo the Heart might be as dark as night and tilled with tilth aud wickedness.'' Tnut is what llic evangelical revivalist said, without liuviug read u page ot the "Mishra. " Hut that uoes not mul'.er. A man or a sect or a creed wh.cli is generally condemned, and has beeu lor eighteen centuries, and has been stumped as wicked and hypocritical by a dominant Church, every body is at liberty to suy what pleases him. tlono.sl people might learn a losnou from this. Wo find here nil illustration ol the wickedness ot applying terms ol opproorium to the whole bodies ol men indis criminately. I have not the shubtusi hope that what I say will prevent any ouu ol my brother clergy men ol other denominations irom using that word in the sumo sense as ever, but I take up Ibis suh|oct tor two reasons:? First, because Hie Pbuii.aical doctrine in the one hi wtneb Judaism Is rootod. The mun no uni versally condemned are levered hy us. Do wo, tlieu, owe ull our religion to hypoorilOa? Whatever is said against 1'liarinees in said against us. This is n Pharisa ical house ot iiod aim none other. .Sucond, even tlio.so who think that tney acted wiongly ami wickedly hi opposing lue Itiunder ol Christianity, I think, should giailly embrace any information wlmJi should tend lo ciour llio uiimo ol those limn irgno the evil which lias been heaped upon them; lor, alter all, were they not uieu and brethren? and should it not lie gratifying lo us lo llud that even in the wicked Pharisee ihu goodness of human nature was not altogether stamped out? 1 have no luiud to read a panegyric here; I merely wish to lay before you u lew points to enable every lair aud unbiassed mind lo form a correct opinion of those men. lit ibe llrsl place tbo mistake began at the very beginning. Tho general impression m lhat the Phari sees were a sect, hedged lo with narrow dogmatic interests. It is altogether wrong to spunk ul suets. Kvery olio knows theru wero hoses, buduucces ami Pharisee*. There weru ho i-e#s, tu e correct analogy is political parlies :u a Slate. Hut at the period Of llio rise of Christianity Pbnrisenisin had become the religious idea oi tuo . largest portion ol lUe nation _la tact, it had become Jiidaisui (null intents and purposes, aud now tun >|iiusliou presents Itself, il iho Pharisees were concerned Willi the lorins of religion only, aud wero thoroughly insincere, how could much u dead ami hollow and Iruudulent system piodnco a religion which, lor vitality and devotion and adaptation to tbn most marvellous condition, is .without parsllel iii iliu history ol iiiiuikuiil ? It there was not thn streugtli o! a living fuitti In those men whence did inoir disciples derive their faithfulness ? If they in culcated no morula whence comes that ol the Jews" /It tliesu cume irom the Talmud, aud surely Hebrew ethics limy challenge ibo ethics of any ohurcli or xoci oiy una not tear tne comparison. Tho Now i'cslaiueut (??lis m the Founder of ChnetisMly era tumd thie simile, that a man who had faith was like a man who bunded Ins lion so on a rock, lor even if tho winds blow uiiU (lie llouus'cauio down it would not lull. Now, was there overs house creeled by the bands of man against which tliu lury ol the dements bout for a longer ttino or w lib greater lorco than tho house which the hands ol (ho Pharisees reared and that lias stood and stands to tUis day ? In llie second pl.n o, if you consider tlio mniu points ? d bciiel lor which the Pharisees con tended against the opposing nects what do you llud ?
