In ito not know whether or not many I
,,i v.itir readers are much acquainted
with the writingsot John Stuart Blnckie,
l.ut .Mime of hi- more recent works have
v, pleased and indeed fascinated me that
I have thought it mi^lit I service to
M>me who have not read them to direct

a native of tilas/ow. and i> at

and was lor tenor twelve years pro:,
vv>r oi the l-itin language and literature
in Marisehal Collide, Alierdeen,
ir ,in wliieli place he w as called to his
j.resent position.
These lew facts are snttirient to attest
the ripeneKS of his scholarship and to
j-iveus the iissnranee in advance that i
whatever may come from his pen w ill 1
amply repay a careful reading. And
our expcrieiuv, as farasit has extended,
has fully sustained such a pro-assurance.
He has lieeii tpiite a voluminous writer;
arid when I say this 1 may rather stager
the faith in the real depth and worth ,
i,l his works which what I have already i
wit ten h;?? ts-eii intended to excite. I
Wn few men can afford to w rite many '
honks as hut few have the resnim es of (
intellect w ide and deep enough to sup- ]
ply mi heavy and severe a strain. Hence
we tind in many eases that where j
authors have prod Heed many 1mm.ks ,
their tir-t was the stronger. There j
i> not iinfretpiently afterwards a i
i..arkeil deterioration. The whole in- '
lelleilii.il jM.wer, and in its highest
freshness. i? let out on the lirst great
throw, and the man has put himself
out of hretith. Theiirst-lM.ru is for the ,
most part the strongest. Mayhe this is ,
not the rule, hut if it Ik- only the exeeplion
it has numerous cases under it.

For treason un<l rebellion."
Nor lines Black ie stand alone to-day
in his country in such revolt. There
are many men of the very tirst intellectual
rank and power who are clamoring
loudly tor a relaxation of
the hard theological formularies
of faith thsit have so long
galled the Scotsman's withers. l-'airhairn
and Smith, and Knight and
Young, and Knlloch are among the leaders
in this great army corps; while Norman
Maoleod, though dead, yet speaketh.
These men would not break entirely
from the old formularies, hut they
would have them modified and wear less
frowning and scowling brows. It is for
this they have unsheathed their battle
blades. Wo confess to feeling no small
tear as we hear the bugle blasts of these
great chieftains summoning their elans
to the con Hid. We have fears that the
re volt era or bolters, smarting as they
have l>een so keenly under the lash, may
carry their revolt to an opposite and, it
possible, more dangerous extreme; and
that some may .strike off tautentiully
"into an anti-C'liristian attitude, or even
right off into the dreary silences, hlank
vacuities, and blind necessities of specuulative
Atheism."?X<itnr<t( lUMoru, />.

And yet with all these tears, and at
the same time depreciating as we do extreme
language even in the denunciation
of such ecclesiastical ignorance and
despotism, still as a son of the Reformation
of the sixteenth century, and as by
heredity related to Scotchmen whose
blood in other days dyed many a heather
brae in defence of what they regarded
religious lilierty, we cannot have
a profound sympathy with every effort
of the human intellect to relieve itself
:uid the conscience of usurped and unlaw
fill authority, to widen and deepen
in the intelect and conscience of
humanity at large and especially of
pcclesiasticalcourtsand powers, the great
truth that a broad distinction must be
made between Articles of Faith and
mere theological opinions, ami
to bring the theoretical and
the practically operative faiths of
Christendom into a U-tter ami sweeter
harmony. In this effort John Stuart
Blackie, in the works of which we have
made mention, has been energizing: and
having been so, though we may regard
some of his language as intemperate
and perhaps provoking to the injury of
his own cause, 1 have very cordially
L'iwn him an honored scat among the
silent friends that surround me.
But our author has something more
and still higher to commend him to our
respect and affection. He emphasizes,
and in the warmest language commends
the practicalness of the Christian religion.
In this he very widely and very
honorably differs from many of the negative
and destructive critics of the present
day. There are many to-day who
will sympathize with him fully
in his earnest protests against
all ecclesiastical despotism and
unlawful spiritual authority who evince
no smputhy with him, but rather a deep
antagonism against him in his admiration
for and devotion to the pure ami
practical morality of Christianity. There
ire men to-dav who antagonize the
Church intellectually, chiefly, if not
solely, because she antagonizes them
morally. To this class. John Stuart
Blakie does not In-long. He is warm in
. - *?-... i . i
Fus protestations against nm-MiiM nui
lespotism; he is no less warm in his
'oiumendatioiUi of the Christian religion
is a pratically purifying ami elevating
moral {?ower. Here are some oi his utterances
upon this point : "The most
listinctive part of the Christian moral
lystem that meets us in the la<*e is that
it is presented to us prominently, essentially,
radically as a religiou." Its
'Evangelical appeal" to men is?"Return
to thai and l>e saved?to man
there can he no safety anywhere except
in (iod, who is the source of all good,
ind in Christ, who gave Himself a living
sacrifice that we might he redeemed
ironi all evil." " In the Christian ethics
[iod is not a secondary figure He is
not brought in merely tor a sanction
He is the central sun of the whole system.
from whose bright fountain of
perenial excellence all the little twinkling
lamps of our minor moralities are
lighted up." "Christian virtue, in fact,
ran no more exist without piety than
Socratio virtue can exist without logic.
Socrates was, no doubt, a remarkably
pious man; hut while the piety of Socrates
w as a strong shoot from his reason,
the virtue of a ('hristian is the fair issue
of his piety."?/'<??/ pp. 207,
L?( IS, 200.
I might ipiote many other utterances
equally as surcharged with practical devotion
as are these, but it is
not necessary. .Must we not
say, hoWMVer, that surely the heart
of the man who could even put on the
Christian system such interpretations
must be right with that system7. Nor
can his intellect la- at war with it, save
as it is caricatured, or as its throne of
mercy is usurped by one who for its mercy
would substitute a tvranny, and for
its loving comprehensiveness a blind
bigotry. Ami sa<l it is n>r * nrisiiaiiny,
an<i grossly isshemisrepresented, when
in her sacred name. and as her ]?r<?fessed
representative* any laxly of men
will presume to anathematize, excommunicate,
or even call hard names at
any man or men of such a spirit, l?eeause
they cannot or will not shout
their Shibboleths. Yet. alas! how trcquentlv
has she been even thus grossly
misrepresented.
Having dwelt thus so long, however,
upon our author as a theologian. I must
resume mv thoughts of him as a moralist
and perhaps as something else tor a
future letter. J. <i. A.
Starting a Boy.
From the I>? !r?>it Free Press.
A lonesome-looking boy wasyesterday
hanging around a wotsl-yard in the
northern part of the city, when the
owner of the yard having both charity
and philanthropy tor Ikivs with tears in
their eyes, asked the lad w hy lie didn't
peddle apples or do something to earn a
lew shillings. The boy replied that he
had no capital, ami the wood-yard man
took out a nickel and said:
"Now, m\ lx?v, I'm going to start you
in life. Take this nickel and go and
make a purchase of something or other.
I'll buy it of you for 10 cents, no matter
what it is. Conic, now, let's see what
sort of a business head you have on
you.
The boy took the nickel and went off.
but ill ten minutes was back w itli a gal
Ion jug which he had purchased with tin
nickel. \
"Well, you are a keener," replied tin
man. "I never saw one of those sole
for less than fifteen ivnts to any one. I
want such a jug, and here's its fair price
(b? now and lay out your fifteen cents it
apples and I'll buy half your stock."
The bov did not return. Perhaps In
fell into a sewer somewhere; but vol
can't make the wood-yard man belfevi
so. When he lifted the jug from unde
the table, where the bov had carefulh
placed it, he found a hole in the hotton

('orreq*?n<lt nee of the IU-Ki*t?'r.
lt.vnNKhVii.LK, November <">.
Quito a little earthquake occurred ;
here to-day. caused by finding a babe at |
Xalt's foundry. Whose it was? Where!
it ealne from? And why left there* were
the current questions of the day.
The fjicts of the case are as follows: j
The mother of the child, who resides in
j this place, some time since swore the 1
little innocent to one of the foundry i
I hands, he promising to pay her a certain
sum monthly for its support. But j
for some cause he grew tired of this and [
refused to shell out. The woman, to
bring him to terms, took the child to the j
! foundry and left it with him. 1 i
He applied to the trustees to care tor e
it, but they, learning the iaets, had him J
arraigned beforea justice when he again
agreed to pay the former amount and I
make good all arrears. The mother again ?'
took the babe, and we presume all par- j
tjies are made happ\, espeeially the trus- , ,,
tees.% And the change in the senior e
partner's countenance was like unto the 1
brightness of the noonday sun. His j t
eyes became almost straight, and the 1
strawberry blonde whiskers looked more t
charming than ever. He was saved j g
from the gossips and his reputation left 1<
1 as heretofore, without a blemish. ii

A ROMANCE OF SHAME. J
The Old Story of Woman's Waiting
and Man's Cnfultillcd I I
Promises.
Warren county, Ohio, is stirred up
over a seduction, breach of promises ,
I and slander suit, involving two families
i of the highest resjK'ctability. In the j
little village of South Lebanon, former- j '
Iv called Heertield, ill I'nioii township, ?
the parties to this extraordinary suit re- v
siile, and before this scandal became the '
world's property, no one suspected that I h
the shadow of disgrace or shame would I v
ever fall upon the two voting people j 11
who now stand face to face with each >
other in the arena of the law's temple? j ?'
face to face in a bitter fight that is filled '
; with tears and shame and deep dis- I '
, grace. il
The plaintiff, I antra Delia t'ohner, is a s
lady of about twenty-five years of age, of t<
| intelligent and handsome face and tine I1
| figure, her parent belonging to the ?
wealthiest families in the county. The ?'
defendant, Joseph W. Snook, belongs to ^
an equally well-known and respected h
i family, and, until this suit transpired, i tl
! was regar<led as the soul of honor. X
The history of the case is siibstanti- a
ally as follows: In January IN70, they "
> met, and he pretended to be deeply in tl
love with her, and they were soon en- tl
.1age<I to be married. Then came the '
j old storv. she trusted him blindly and "
rendered to him her virtue, supposing r'
it in safe keeping. He soon tired of '
her as a plaything, and, before long, she '
discovered that her lover no longer "
loved her, and that she was in a condi- '
tion that would call down upon her the d
j disgrace and hopelessness of so manv of p
i i.'. -.-o <v.,:i .i " I si
she appealed t<? tin' man she so fond- ?
ly love*I, ami found lu?r god was hut I'
common clay, lie refused to shelter il
her in his aristocratic family. Iler 11
child was horn but happily died. Then v
I this human fiend spoke slightingly of v
her. called her fast, and said "forty men 'j
had been there." The suit is brought tl
on the above grounds, w liich constitutes , r

A SHOCKING SCANDAL.
Two Hlffh Toned Ohio Familfen
DiagTaced.
Tin- neighlmring town of Aurora is
?tirre?l from centre to circumference
with a sensation, the like of which tliat
quiet village never knew before. The
Harmons and Egglestons are two of the
wealthiest families of the place, and the
scandal involves a disgrace to l*>th of
them. Six years ago Clayton Harmon j
married Miss lticsics. the daughter of the
'lead man of a principal dry goods stow 1
n Aurora. The marriage involed an
juhappy scandal. Miss Recsics, it is i
aiid, iieing in an interesting conditio# j
it the time of the marriage. It made a .
ttir at the time, and to enable them to
ive it down l?oth joined theehnrch, and
lave since been active in church work.
I'liey have two tine boys. About
ightcen months ago Harmon l?ecam* i
uispicious of his wife's relations with A '
oung Kggleston, a village merchant, !
md told her father of his suspicion^ 1
le w as told that it w as all nonsense ann I
vas inspired by jealousy. Harmon kept
he matter to himself, but resolved to
vatch for further developments.
A few evenings since his opportunity
'!oiii1 His wife announced that she
vuk going to church in the evening* and
Inrmon said he ?li?l not care t?? go. lieon
she went out Harmon went ami hid
limself in the barn, in order to watch
ier movements. Instead of going tovard
the church, his wife came by the
>arn and passed over to the next lot, in
he rear of Kggleson's house, and there
ie saw her enter an outbuilding. After
raiting a few minutes Harmon went
>ver, and as lie reached the building i
net her coming out. lie asked who
lse was in the building, and, receiving
10 reply, went to the door, which lie
oiind fastened. When he succeeded in
dishing it open he received a sudden ]
?low on the head from a board, which i
ut it open badly. The Mood started! j
nit in a stream, but Harmon grasped
lis assailant and elmked liini until be i
ot him under control, and then he
(impelled him to give him his match
mix, and, striking a math, was enabled
o identify him. Kggleston trembled
ike a leaf, and begged Harmon pitcously i
o kill him, and save him the awful disrace
of exposure. Harmon finally alowed
him to go. The young woman, l
t is alleged, excused her conduct by
aying she bad inherited her propensity, i
nd that her parents have hecn disraeed
in a like manner before her. The ,
oupie have separated.

attempted Murder and Suicide. ,
>ne of the most terrible tragedies that i
as ever occurred in Illinois, took place (
n Monday morning at W. ik II. Saw- \
er's oil mill, Decatur. William and I
enjainin Snwvcr, who have for years I
ceil ^partners in running the oil mill, i
rere in their office talking over husi- 1
iess affairs. An old transaction, about '
ihieh they had disagreed for sometime, '
ame up in the course of the con versa- i
ion and some warm words were used. ;
. M. Ham. the book-keeper, came in, I
nd si sin after he entered Win. Sawyer 5*j
tepped to the desk, as he said, I
n get a hank hook or papers for the j <
mrpose of going out to settle up J <
nine accounts. A moment later tin- 1
rack of a pistol startled Ham and Hen. j
awyer, the latter of whom was sitting i ]

iMim of the mill lie fell, with his head

nc?' left th?' office and passed down an

which rendered him unconsious J
ml caused blood to flow from his

A FAMILY'S AFFLICTION.
I Wandering Son Returns in tlio
Person of an Insane Tramp.
Alanit ten years ago, .Mr. Lvinann
xidney, then a boy of about twelve
ears, left his father's home in Mt.
iilead. O., to make his fortune in the I
ar West. After the long absence the I
oiing man returned aln>ut two weeks j
igo to his home, two miles east of this |
ity, in the person of an ordinary tramp, !
md unrecognizable even by his father? |
bin. pale, poor, and emaciated. Yeserday
the young man took a sudden
ipell of insanity, "and has remained
II that State ever since, and w ill have
0 be conveyed to the irtirmary to await
lie arrival of his wife and children from .
Iowa. Young Kidney's insanity, it seems,
las been brought alvout by the weighing
>11 his mind of some terrible crime or j
>ther cause of similar nature, as he j
K-riodieally insists on telling something, I
uid after the room is cleared of all excepting
one designated bv himself, he
will relate some trifling incident. The j
lather of the unfortunate young man is,
is he has U'eii for years past, living a
licrmit's life, isolated from his neighlM>rs
mil society at large.
INFANTICIDE AND SUICIDE.
A Woman Throws Herself and

Two weeks ago Jennie Coyle and an
infant child, living w ith her brothers on i
a farm near Fort Dodge, Iowa, disap- I
pearcd, and no truce of theni was found i
till Sunday, when the bodies of both j
were found in a well. It is supposed
that Mrs. Coyle committed suicide, as
she lived unhappily with relatives.

MORNING, NOV
GAS FROM WATER.
A Montreal Invention to Illuminate
and Heat Buildings.
Montrvrtl Witness.
I-ant night application was made t<
the City Council by Messrs. Murphy,
(Juinn ami Belque for permission to
cross Cherhtook street with a three-inch
]>ij?e. fur the purj>ose of heating with
gas the Montreal Seminary and College.
It is well known that cooking and heating
can l>e done with gas much more
conveniently and effectively than with
anv other fuel; if, then, an economieal
mode of making the gas can be invented
the problem is solved. This the
above name! gentlemen claim to have
done. They make the gas from water
by passing steam through red-hot
coals contained in a hermetically scaled
vessel, and by certain sjiecial devices relating
to the heating property of coal
the steam is decomposed into hydrogen,
carbonic oxide and carbonic acid; the
last is removed by purification, and the
other two gases passing into the lioider
are ready for immediate use. These
gases, it is known to all scientists, give
more heat than any fuel ever yet used.
As to the economy of their proc#s the
proprietors assert that with the use of
one ton of coal they can make
W.UOO cubic feet of gas, while
by the old Svsteni only K.l>00
could be produced; that with the same
apparatus they can make gnu twice every
hour, while by the old system it takes
from tour to eight hours tor each operation;
that their gas will not cost more
than fifteen cents per 1,000 feet, a quart
tity f<?r which ordinary companies
charge VI (o :>4. These gentlemen
have spent over two years and much
money in experimenting, and having
finally succeeded in their efforts, made applications
in different quarters to usethcir
gas. The reverend gentleman of the
seminary, with tlieirusual farsightedness,
gave them every facility, and they have
now a contract for the heating of the
college and seminary?not for the lighting
of the buildings, as the gases give
little or no light. The company is now
formed and almost all the capital subscribed.
It is hoped that the members
of the Council will give every facility to
this enterprise, as it concerns the welfare
of all our citizens the poor even
more than the rich, as we are informed
that the gas can be delivered much
cheaper than any other fuel.

Sr. Pa11., Minn., November 4. Alioy
nf b years, giving his name Charles Ihtfreve,
was transferred to the care of the
police hereabout a weekago by the eonluctorofa
train from .Minneapolis. The
hoy told that he and a companion, when
going to school in New York City, were
abducted by two men. The other boy
escaped at a depot (from thedescriptinn,
thought to he in Jersey Citv). The men
brought Charles westward, part of the
time hatidctllfed and tied, his wrists still
showing marks of the handcuffs. At
last they arrived at Minneapolis,
where the men left Onirics in an alleyway,
threatening him with death if he
moved during their absence. Immediately
<111 their departure from the alley,
In- ran direct to the railway depot,
lumped into a car, and, after ii started,
[old the conductor his storv. While in
arc of the police, when he became
alined, he remembered that he had an
uncle in St. Paul Charles W. Dufreve,
who was found by the police an employe
in a city livery stable, and took
barge of the hoy. A telegram to tin*
parents in New York was answered by
lireetions to send him hack in eare of
the Express com pan v. A letter received
from his father to-day says he disappeared
the morning of the 2"?th tilt.,
<iiice which the city and surrounding
ountry have lieeii searched by the po
lice and no trace found, t in* mother
had given him up for dead, and could
liardlv helieve he was recovered.
Two Sorts of Chaplains.
Edward Kwlcsinii in November ScritmerV
Once, after a battle, a certain church
was turned into a hospital, and wounded
ind dying lay all up and down the Hoor.
It was a blue time, when men wen- dying
not of wounds alone, hut of despair,
wiiich was like an epidemic in the very
itniosphcre. A severe chaplain added
to the terror by passing about exhorting
the poor groaning fellows to prepare
for death. Chaplain kittle, seeing how
fatal this despondency must prove,
walked up into the pulpit, plantI'd
his little melodeon on his
knees, and struck up a ridiculous song
known as " The Ohio Girl." Sunlight
came in with the rich melody of the
haplain's \nice and the humor of his
song. The surgeons took heart, and life
seemed to come hack to battered and
homesick men. Hut the austere chaplain
in the middle of the church called
out:
'Chaplain kittle, you ought to Ik*
ashamed of yourself to sing such stutf
to men who ought to he preparing for
death."
Whereupon the Colonel, who had
just had a leg amputated, raised.his
head, and addressing the last sj>eaKcr,
said:
"Chaplain Blank, 1 wish I had two
legs, so that I could kick you out of
doors."
How Thomas Betrayed Himself.
Hiirjx-r's ttiiair.
When Thomas drove uj> to deliver the
usual quart of mixture, the gentleman
of the house kindly inquired:
"Thomas, lmw many quarts of milk
do you deliver?"
"Ninety-one, sir."
"And how many cow? have you?"
"Nine, sir."
The gentleman made some remarks
atN>ut the early spring, elose of the Eastern
war, and the state "I the roads, and
then asked:
"Say, Toomas, how mueli milk jtei
day do your cow s average?"
"Seven quarts, sir."
"Ah! um!" said the gentleman, as h?
moved off.
Thomas looked after him, scratched
his head, and all at once grew pale, ithe
pulled out a >hort pencil and liegari
to figure <m the wagon-cover.
"Nine cows is nine, and I wt down
seven quarts under the cows and multi
ply. That's >ixty-three quarts of milk
I told him I sold ninety-one quarts pei
<iay. Sixty-three from ninety-one leave?
twenty-eight, and none to carry. Now
where do I got the rest of the milk? IT
