WM. P. READ. ' ,
Worthy Mauler, and Brother and Sis
ters of the Order :
Co-opomlion commencoa witb our
entering tho Grange. The Grange is
a to opurative society. It takoa nino
men and four women to co-opurotu to-
? other to got a oliurlor for a Grange.
I rcquiruD tho co operutivo ellbrt of
tboee thirtcon to mako the social fca
lu roe of the order k inccer-a. Socioty in
one of tho principal features of the or
der, meeting frequently together to
hold council and have Iroo interchange
of opinion on the different miliiccts that
are brought beforo tho Grange for
connidoralion. And it requires earnest
labor to advance tho educational work
of tho order. This is justly regarded
as one of the most important interests
in the Orange, and is the basis of Us
purpuric to olevkto the farmer and to
improve his condition by increasing
intelligence which directs him in the
pursuit of his vocation, and In the dis
charge of the duties of good citizenship
in accordance with the domands of the
ago.
It recognizes lit necessity at a more
Hpccifiu education tor thoe who aro
engaged in tho various forms of agri
culture ; such education as will quick
en tho intelligence of tho farmer to f'erti
li.o his -fields, Uiveraify bit products,
and quality him lor enlightened action
in all questioiii of industrial interest
which affect his welfare.
All work of importance in our order
requires co-oporaliyo effort. We must
teach members every where their duties
of political economy in tho affairs of
Government ana the rights ol citir.on-
ship. When theso questions are prop,
orly understood, and we srply co oper
ation in its true sonso, as reasonable
and just to a froe people, then, and not
till then, will we enjoy un equitable
distribution of the blessings and equal
ly sbaro the burdens of government.
Co operation mean to act jointly to
gether with one anothor; to lubor
unitedly tor tftaaajna niirnoaa; oaraiiino
eil'orts and influence, and direct thought
and action in the channel tor tho pur
pose of accomplishing desirable results.
uovernments motional, state ana
Local aro founded upon tbe principlo
of co oporation. failure and disap
pointment will be the inevitable result
of any organisation that Ignores this
principlo. in oo-opontuon propony
understood and correctly applied, as
directed by the founders of the order
of Patrons of Husbandry, when they
very wisely incorporated this grand
principle in the organic law of our or
der, so that we might become conver
sant with its use, and familiar with its
practice in all our efforts to (roe our
solves of all the burdens of which tho
farmort now complain,' there it not
Jiromise made by the order, not a re
(irm desired by the mcmbors, that can
not be accomplished by tbe true method
of co-operation ; but just so long as we
give more hoed to those that are try
ing to operate against us than we do
to fraternal cooperation, we must ex
pect to boar the bunions that of right
belong to others.
Co-operation In our order nioana ad.
vancemont of agriculture, success of
our organization, prosperity ol its
members, and the elevation of a higher
and nobler man and womanhood. So
thoroughly are wo impressed with the
magnitude of this subject and its in
fluence upon tho future prosperity of
our ordor, that we most respectfully
recommend that the members of oacb
subordinate Grange bo requcstod to
use all reasonable efforts in their power
to teach, by practice, co operation. .
The people ltavt it in their power to
remedy many of tbe evils of which
tboy complain. Ily a union of the
farming and laboring classes, 00 -operating
together, and demanding a reform
in the law making power of our couu
try, so that thejarmors and the labor
ers have equal representation in tho
law-making power of our land ; and if
the farming ana the laboring classes
numberovor six tenthsof the whole vot
ing power of our land, then why should
not thoy have some say in the making
of the laws that boar so hard on them,
and suffer them to make laws to op
prow the farmer and the laborer ao as
to make capital superior to labor ; for
without labor what would capital be
worth ? what would our timber or our
coal mines be worth it it was not for
the labor expended on thorn f So you
see, it it through co-operative effort
that every thing ismade to pay., ihon
why not the different Grange of the
county co-operate together as one
Grange to make oar ends meet, as we
have united as brothers and sister
of one family? Why not co-operate
morally, mentally ana socially, so as
to carry oat the feature of our order,
which we claim to be the first socrot
society that has mado our wives and
our daughters the equal of their hus
bands ana brothers I
We, as an ordor, havo thrown open
tho door and bid them welcome to our
councils, saying : "Your veto In tho
Grange counts jnst M much as ours."
And why should we not 7 II we are
in trouble, who do wo go to for counsel?
To thorn who are the nearest and
dcart-st to us the wife of thy bosom,
a daughter, or a sister ; and in most
cases, we find them tho bost and the
cheapest counselors we can apply to ;
for as matrons in our order, remember
that each mother writes her own his
tory on the mind of the child so that
it will remain there for everlasting,
good or ill, which storms cannot wash
out, nor the slow-moving eternity ob
literate, li that la the ease then why
not blend our unitod strength in one
offort to bring in the younger and ris
ing generation of the family of Patrons
into the Grange jest a aoon at tboy
are of age to be ad mi ted into the order,
and educate them up to the stand-point
of the order, so that when wears gone
we will have them to fill our places.
The Bible tolls as "to train up a
child in the way it should go, and
when It Is old it will not depart from
it" We can accomplish this, and more
by co-operation through the different
Grange in the county. Yon ran have
the whole experience of the different
Granges in the county; and it is
through co-oporation through the
Grangos of tho State that we have
been enabled to get wholesale prioos
with the merchants in the cities ; and
it is through co operation that brothors
liarnos and Brit.ker havo boon enabled
to get "bottom pricoB," both in buying
our goods and in soiling our produce
that is shipped to thorn ; anu now we
sav. stand by them who stand by
you I And, as tho Irishman said, novor
couuemn tne snip mat uruugui, juu
sate over, and oarriod you by the rocks,
sboals and quicksands, and landed you
safo in the harbor. Stand by the
houses that havo given us terms to
deul with them, and stand by our
agencies I If it was not for tbom, we
would be at tho mercy of tho traveling
agent and tbe middleman, charging
at tho rate of 200 per cent. TOr all wo
had to buy or soil through oo-oporalion.
We have done away with this class of
pooplo in our dealings, ana wo aro on
abled to receive tho rebate ourselves
that wo used to pay those traveling
"bnmmoTS." Wo have bocomo some
what educated since wo joined tho
Grange so much so as to know that
we must be educated ueiore we Know
our rights, and stand up to defend
thorn ; so much so as to know what wo
want to buy without the aid of one of
theso traveling robbers to tell us what
we want.
As an Illustration of co-operation, I
will quote from tho history of tho
Rochdale system in England, which
has boon in operation for A number of
years, and the system from which the
Grange organization originated : A
set of mon got it into their heads that
if thero was so much in the Rochdale
system of co-operation, that through
the G range the same thing could bo
dono ; for it appears that during one
of the great panics in England, tho
factory bands in London were so hard
run as to be obliged, after gotting the
othor necossai ies of life, to only Lave
money enough left to buy one-half
an ounce of tea ; and, as you know,
groeors all chargo so much on every
sale they mako, be it ever so small, and
by buying an ounce they could gut it
cheaper than they could by tho
half-ounce ; and by getting it by the
fourth of a pound, it was still cheaper.
So by getting enough to co-operato and
buy it by tho pound, tboy were saving
money and shortly thoy were enabled
to buy it by tho box, at wbolosale
prices,and divided it out amongst them
selvesbuying it at a groat saving of
their wages ; so much so that they
commenced oo-oporaling in different
ways. Finding that they could make
money in the operation, and saving
what "thoy mado, they wore still ena
bled to proceed further at purchasing
and building manufactories. They have
oarriod on the business to such an ex
tent that to day thero is ovor 800,000
of thorn in tho business of co-operation,
and asking tho Grangers toco-operate
with tbom. and send tl.em thoir pro
duce and we will send you our manu
factured goods in return.
Now farmers and laborers, organize
in Parmer's Clubs, or In Granges, or
in any way, so that you become organ
ized ; foe without organization it is
impossible to have co-operation.
"United we stand, but divided we fall;"
and tl.eo we will bo at the mercy of
everything that it opposed to us. Jf
every farm isaGrange,then why should
not every farmer ha a (.ranger, and
blond our united strength in an effort
to save our country from Its Inevitable
doom, and make our farms to blossom
liko tho rose. ' ' 1 ' '
THE PREACHER.
RALPH WALDO EMEUSON ON THE REM
UIOUB SITUATION. . .
From the Borton 1 1 era I J
Whon a man of select intelligence
which characterizes tbe utterances of
Mr. Emerson speaks upon tbe condi
tion of religion at tha present time,
his words have exceptional value, and,
evbethev we eejree With him OT not,
are suro to have weight in the think
ing world. He ha always been reti
cent concerning bis positive statements
on religious topics, but his recent ad
dross on "The Preacher," dclivored bo
foro the students in the JJivinity chapel
of Harvard University, ovidonlly con
tains his latest sentiments, and Is so
largely a view of tbo religious situation
and an outlook into the near future,
such a frank and large-minded avowal
of opinions which many have hoped
ho entertained, that no utterance of
his since the famous sermon on tho
Lord's Suppor, delivered in 1832, on
hit retiring from the Unitarian minis
try is likely to oommand wider atten
tion. It is tbe ripo and far-sighted
policy of a septuagenarian who has
beon above and beyond his age, and
yot has shown groat facility in absorb
ing its beet life into himself. It ia re
markable not loss for its clearness of
insight and its comprehensive state
ments than for its grasp of the vital
conditions on which ail religion de
pends, and its resolute helpfulness of
tono. It will not satisfy tho numerous
small religionists, who grapple dogma
as a famished dog seizes a bone, but it
will be like the atmosphere .of a clear
day to thousands who long to believe
the truth, and who feet that the cur
rent church atmosphere stultifies the
dooper convictions of both mind and
heart. For thore are at least two
kinds of believers, tbs hard, dry dog
matists and the, gonoroui thinkers,
who hold that religion consists of
"justice and humility and the loving
heart and serving band." Mr. Emer
son justly remarks that "tho opinions
of men lose all worth to bim who per
ceives that they are accurately pre
dictable from tbo ground of their sect,"
and tbe mon whocouutin the religious
stock of the life of lite world are per

who go beyond tbe oonfinos of men's
evorlasting commonplaces, and throw
personality into their beliefs about
truth and duty. . It is with tbe "upper
eyes" of these large beliovers that Mr.
itlnerson ranges, and bonce his view
of the religious situation has weight
as the fruit of his own examination of
otirrent thought and life. Concerning
the people who contain in thomeelvea
the activity of to-day and tho assus,
ance of to-morrow, he says : "I see in
tbom not character but skepticism ; a
cloar enough perception of the inade

. This is a clear statement H tho situ
ation, but Mr. Kmersona Idea of the
way out of It, nt such as othor men
have conjectured, is, from this point
of view, the tru way, the way ol tho
strongest and wiiest among us, equally
the way of nature and tho woy of
God. Ho hot st uck the vital pnnci
plo of 11 new religion whon ho says
tnat "wo aro in it u'nsition lrom liio

tho law in a privalo and personal
history, to a worship which recognizes
tho true eternity of tne law,ilsprescnco
to you antl me, Its equal energy In

noxt ago will behold God in the ethical
laws, and "w il rtgatd natural history
private fortunes and politics, not for
themselves, at iwo Itavo done, but
as illustration! of lhaa laws, of that
beatitude and !tw." This is looking
closely into our current mo, but Mr.
f.merson boos still lorttiera good omen
in the expansive humanity of to-day
sinco "it seeks to fiitl in every nation
and croed, tho un perishable doctrineB,"
1 soe that sensibrornoD and conscien
tious men all oner the world are of
onereligion, therelgionot well doing
and daring, men of iturdy truth, men
of integrity and Ibcling for others.
My inference it that there is a state
ment of religion which possibly makes
ull skepticism absurd." He thinks tho
charm of tho study ol religion is "in
finding the agreements and identities
in all tbe leligi.us ot mon, ana this
is tho efleuntial lUii.g ho looks for in a
theologian, that "lu shall be broad in
bit tympathies nrt to allow himself
to bo excluded Doui any church
Then he has gonuto tho vory roots of
religion in uts statiment that "all posi
tive rules, ceremonial, ecclesiastical,
distinctions ol rio or person, are
perishablo," thatlonly thoso distinc
tions bold which are in the nature of
thing! not matters ot positive ordi
nance." He pieces to tbo heart of
Christianity, when be says that it
"taught the caracity, the clemont to
love the All-peritct without a stingy
bargain for personal happiness." Then
tbo clergy have a lit of warning. Thoy
"aro alwaya in qanger of becoming
wares ana pensioners ot tne so caned
producing classes. Their first duty is
self possession fuundod on knowledgo.
Then thoro is amthor gleam of light.
Mr. Emerson sayt to the preacher of
to-day : "Cot him value bis talont as a
door into nature. Let bim soe bis per
formance only as limitations. Then,
over all, let bim value tbe sensibility
that receives, that laves, that daran.
that aitirms." jtnd further words are
golden : "Spetk the affirmative ; em
phasizoyouraiojee by utterly ignoring
of all that "ou reject, seeing that
opinions aro temporary, but convic
tions nniforrt and stomal "seeing
that a scntimoil never loses its pathos
or its persuasiin, but is youthful after
a thousand yeas." He goes for the
underlying stro.gth which is exprossed
not in talent, but in tone, in coun
selling the ymng preacher, thus:
"Whon thoro il any difTorenco felt be
tween tho footioard of tho pulpit and
the floor of tit parlor, you have not
yot said that vhieh you should say."
This reminds mp of Sidney Smith's
saying, that "a tulpit it a platform just
thrco foot abov contradiction." Then
ho stands liko the strongest Puritan
for the intcgrit of Sunday : "I should
say boldly thawe should bo astonished
ovory day by a'leam out of eternity ;
retire a momuit to the grand socrot
wo carry in out bosom of inspiration
from heaven.. Jut, certainly, on this

essay with a slntenoe which is tho
summary of allllhat can be done for
mon in tho new a;e which wt are near
ing: "The open jecrct of the world is
the art of eul. lining a private soul
with inspiration) ,rom tbo great and
public and DivintSoul from which wo

turn away fromihia statemontof the
sentiments and Hhical forces which
are working in trie permanent life ol
men, and say that it is too Emersonian
to be roal, too iul for practical life ;
it certainly is som wh&t fragmentary ;
but all great mongrasp truth by frag
ments, and Mr. Etnerson is no excep
tion. What attnets attention to the
essay, what givo. emphasis to those
frsgmonts of outVnk, is that thoy in

REPUBLICAN,
ESSA ? O.f TEMPEHAKCR.
As we moot here in the capacity of
a Temperance mooting, to discuss this
all-absorbing and Important question
from time to time, it is with cha
grin and remorse that wo watch tbe
uncbtinod Demon revel in luxury and
eleganco, destroying the many bright
and intelligent youth that grace this
broad land ol'lroedom and plenty ; and
with what uomplaoency the majority
of oar populace look upon it! It il
this complacency, and the unheeding,
careless, easy manner in which our
pooplo look upon this demon, that
causes our laws for tho regulation ot
selling intoxicating liquor to bo so
often trampled down. We may say
that we might almost as well have no
laws at all to govern this abominable
trade, as to have laws and have them
viokttud right in the face of good
society. W e say society must be pro
tected ; and enact laws to punish thoso
guilty of trespass, larceny and murder.
Watch, if you please, the impression
a case of murder makes upon society,
and whrvt gulling influences the gossip
of such a case bos upon the ohildron,
the youth and tho middle-aged, iieing
carried from tonguo to tongue, and
f .reclaimed through hundreds offuml
ies, and acting asanti natael influences
to yet unborn generations. Now,
right here let me say, that it is not tho
influence tbe drunkard, the tippler or
tho moderate drinker has upon persons
immediately surrounding or cotcmpo
rary with him, but the influonco
upon yet unborn generations. Tho
actions of the drunkard are looked
upon with the most witberingcontempt
by sound, sober, moditalivo individuals;
and his vulgar and profane language is
abhorrod in tbe bitterest manner ; yot
tho iufluoncos do not slop here, but are
carried on through succeeding genera
tions until the starting point is lost to
Viow unless somo preventive is furnish
ed to unroot and drive out the rudi
ments of drunkeness when they are
in a flexible condition. Now, what this
preventive is or may bo, is what has
boon agitating tbe minds of the people
for so many years. Although muny
have been tried ana some may do said
to have done an iinmcnso amount of
good, yot thoy have not Completely
put an end to what they have boon
striving to accomplish. Temperance
socioties have had their rise, progress
and fall almost ovorsinoo tho beginning
of tho history of our country. Each
and all of them have done their work
and passed away, and are known only
as, history of tho Temperance move
ment. We need not here enumerate
the many Temperance Societies that
have been in progress, but all who are
acquainted with tho Tomperance
movement can call to mind me mucn
good that has been done and the many
souls that have beon saved through
their instrumentality ; and whon any
movement Is laboring in a tustand neo-
oesary cause, we Bay God-speed. Yot
anti-tempcranco . people would say,
n hy not havo tho liquor traiuo on-
ontiroly eradicated by this time ; yon
have beon laboring so long r ivo say,
"iour Honor, we havo a douulo si.
tagonist to dual with. The rum seller,
who is striving to got rich from his
nefarious avocation and tho office-hold
er, whose palms are itching for the
revenuo derivod from that source."
Yot in tho vory face of our onomy, wo
havo had some vory good laws enacted.
But thore is something to be done
besido enacting laws. That process
bos beon tried, with much good, yet
we think, there is a mora effectual way
of working in this matter. Tbo case-
bardenod drunkard cannot be reached,
to totally aocuro him from his terrible
path; not-can thodnnk and lot-it-ulone
individual ue persuaded to leave on
entirely, and temperance, in all its
varied forms, is to instruct tho children
at homo, in tho school room, and in
the Sabbatb school. Too much atten
tion is manifested in doctrinal creeds
in tho Sabbath schools and home, and
not onough tothoelfoctot riotous living
and tntemi.oranco. A child instructed
in purely temperate habits will rarely,
if evor, indulge in the ose of intoxi
cating bovorages. Let the mother's
dictated be law j let her have sole con
trol ot the training of tho children,
and there will not be so many drunk
ards. Wo know whon a man commits
some groat crime, and is about to be
punished, ho invariably says, "it he
bad paid attention to the advice of his
mother, he would not be suffering the
punishment of the law." Where is
the mother who would not prescribe
etriot observance to the rules of Tem
perance to bor son, and entire prohibi
tion to the rum seiiorr itany a tond
heart has been withered and mado
sad by seeing hor sterner partner
go out to spend his evenings with
sumo associates at a club room,
bar room, or whorevor thoy should
congregate Ho who has pledged hit
love and affections to her as a comfort
and a protection I Conscience and hu
manity cannot endure such violations
of the filial affections, nor can man
kind afford it without being duly re-
anmpenepd A. o , .! 1- .kin w--
pensof It Is tho example set to the
youngor members ot the family. If
the father cannot entertain nimseit at
home, he cannot expect his children
to find anything sufficient to entertain
them. At a child mind enlarges ana
and expands, It yearns tor intellectual
nourishment, and It this is not 10 do
found at homo in healthy quantities it
has to be auppliod elsewhere at an
hazards ; and bar rooms offer vory en
ticing inducements tosupplsnt tho un

ed, wholo soulod boy tuking into bis
hungry intellect the very elements
that aro destined to ruin him, which
might have boon so easily prevented
by entertaining him at homo with

AN AIlnEej Itn TEMPERANCE.
Friend in the rause of Temperance:
In attempting an address upon thit
subject, I might well lnqnire,"Whstcan
1 say that has not already bcensaid?"
Yet, In viewing the field over, Il become!
self evident that the popular definition
of "Temperance" Is altogether too re
stricted in its application. "Total Ab
stinence) front the ose of Ipiritnus li
quors as a beverage" has been hold in
treneral to oovcr the ground of Tem
perance, while most of the excesses
practiced ia every-day life by all elasaos
were left unnoticed. But, thanks to
the spirit of Inquiry, thit It becoming
changed and ws are beginning to look
about for the causes of a most proml
nent evil that is to say. drunkenness
to chock whicb, greatctlorta have been
mado by , tho friends ot "reform," by
diroct plodgos of abslinonce.&o., which,
excopt in a very tow isolated instances,
have only modified mo evil tor a timo.
We may dam the stream and stop its
now tor a season, but unless wo can
dry up its fountain! it will only gain
power and bo certain to find an outlet.
Total Alistiuonco, lor somo natures.
is no doubt lust tha thing where
transmitted habit has becuuio "second
nature," but 1 would venture to suggest
that it is not quito tho proper watch
word tor tho true inonas ot "roiorm.
Wo muat bear in mind tho words of
Jonathan lly re, that "All things are
for use, and not tor abuse," aud that
principlo contains all that is eventually
worth anything in policy, mo great
"secret" consists in so living in so
ordering our lives in little things that
wo can command, that our humanity
may gain tho asoendeucy over our am
muiity. Hero to, is found a solution
to tho question of "Prco Agoncy."
The "soul" that is truly individualized
becomes tho "high proprietor" of tho
physical organism. Free humanity
declares that "Self-presarvation is not
tbo first law of .Nature ; " because it
fuels itself to be deathless. But first
aud below humanity are tho animal
instincts and dosiros that call for every
thing that can even transiently minis
ter to the passions and appetites ; yot
mixed through it all, in the "human
form divine," are glimmerings of divin
ity that sooner or later must and will
biimunt.e the whole lump. Man is
a curious compound in his prosont
status, and undoubtedly the most of
bis unhappiness arises out ot the con
flict between the mombors of his own
organism. Tbo batflewaxes hot betweea
acquisitiveness and bcnevolonco, be
tween alimenitivenoss and spirituality ;
in short, betwoen the whole moral de
partment and tho animal propensities.
And if tbo Royal King in the upper
chamber is restrained by iron bars, His
protests will disturb the peaco ot tho
household. Human intelligence has
become one of the graud lactors in the
progressive development of better con
dititions for its own unfolding. The
earth, by the handicraft of man, has
been mado capable of sustaining its
hundreds of millions, and every de
mand is supplied almost as soon as
realised to both tho physical and men
tal ; yot tho conflict goes on, and tbo
"coming man is not hero to convince
the world that use 01 an is to numamzo
mankind: to bring tbe mind wholly
into tho asoendoncy over all below its
exalted station. Then use will
take the pioco ol more animal
gratification, and Tcmporanco in all
things will produce regular habits of
life, from which will flow "bodily ease
and mental tranquility."
Then let us use our intelligence to
tho vory bust possible advantage, and
bcL'inniuir at the very basis of lilo,
look moot fully into tha pie-natal con
ditions that are corlain to stamp then
impress upon the delicate organism
that is gathering its foolers prior to its
advont into the world of sensation.
This I know is a delicate subject to
discuss beforo a publio audience; but
I appeal to evory oven prospective
father and mother, whether it Is not a
most momentous questoin, and one that
concerns every- rational man and wo
man. Tbe peace and happiness of ovory
household turns largely upon tho char
actor of its children ; ana whon it is
remembered that thoso characteristics
are a concentration into organio fom
of surrounding farces and predomina
ting influonous, it would scorn that in.
sanity alone ahould hinder us from the
most carul n I consideration Ot tho sub-
jocu JNo sickly and impure sentimen
tality should ueier us. it is natural
for ovory paront to desiro to be the
progenitor of children that are healthy
and beautiful physically, morally, intel
lectually and mentally. But lot them
not expect it while tbey themselves
aro following every suggestion of ap
petite und woakening ovory moral
sentiment by the debaucheries of pas
sion. Irregular habits, intomperano
in soma direction, ill health, ill humor,
excesses and extremes of character,
one or all are just as sure to crop out
in the child, as thoy go to mako up the
molding influences that impress tho
forming organism. In spite of all we
may say to the contrary, tho convic
tion presses itself upon us, that man
is what ho is by organio constitution,
and that education is but a Blow and
tedious procoss by which wo "shift tho
constituents," very certain to bo effec
tive in time. While upon this part of
our subject, we should notice tbe
marked effect of various kinds ol foods
aud drinks, especially upon the grow
ing child. Tho sclunco of Physiology
and Anatomy, havo determined to a
demonstration, I believe, that "like
produces like ;" that the organism
"grows upon wuat il leeus ; tuui par
ticular medicines contain elements par
ticularly adapted . to givo tone and
strength, as well as growth, to cortain
organs, thereby increasing their action.
rri?w. u,u.i et.e pii.ii.u)li, tuna tuu liesi
ordered cupboard of food contains the
pharmaoopoa ol meaic.ine, we may in
fer that correct dietary rules, in con
junction with propor education, win
greatly aid in reiorming mo in Harmo
niously born. I am one of thoso whom
a long oonrso of observation has con
vinced, that tbe intelligence or mina is
wholly dependont on tho principle of
organization for its manifestation ; that
tho nervous system of man in general
is tho most portect and is the culmi
nation ol all lowor organism ; that In
principlo it has reached the very verge
of physical nature's productions ; that
it constitutes the outlot for tbo weav
ing and elaboration ol elomenta into a
spiritual body within itsell, whicb es
capes at death by reason of it ex
tremely othorial and spiritual nature.
This, I believe, ia tne only rational
theory ot immortality, and from it 1
think wo can see bow very necessary
it is to correct every inharinony of tbe
organic machinory in tbo human con
stitution. "A sound mind in a sound
body," is an old maxim, but perhaps it
has not boon at well understood as it
should be. ' It is my humble conviction
that we never shall be fully civilized,
nor humanized, till w master tbe
science of Slirpoculture, adopt rational
methods of education to the moral
faculties, as well as tho Intellectual,
become true epicures In tbo teleclinn
of food, "practice Temperance in all
things," and cease turning day into
night by going to bed at 9 o'clock and
govting up at fi. Till that time; we
shall have drunkarls as the result
ot predominating animal propensities,
loss of nervous vitality, and melonchol
ly. In oonclaaion, 1 will say, that as
an antidote for the love of liquor, I
would give more for an exclusively veg
etable diet than tiir the heaviest oath
that was ever incorporated into a
plodge of total abstinence.
And as a further word to the young,
let me warn you against the great
danger of habit. Don't begin to drink
tea nor coffee ; don't bfgin to use to
bacco ; don t begin to nse profane and
vulgar language ; don't begin the ex
cess and irregular habit that leads to
tbom, and a thousand to one you will
nover, novor die drunkards.

(ieoriie li. stcart, Philadelphia's
iierchant prince and philan
thropist, OVERWHELMED
HIS LONU CAREER
The well-known philanthropist and
merchant prince, George II Stuart, ef
Philadelphia, has gone out of business,
leaving his affairs at the morcy of an
English liquidator. Tho large estab
lishment on Strawberry street, above
Chestnut, whore the houso of "Stuart
ft Brother, limited," has been a land
mark for years, is closed and silent. It
has been sold, and JUr.atuart, tbe head
of tho ancient firm, occupies bit office
thore only by oourtesy. Tbe account
books of the concorn, dating back fifty
years, are piled np ready lor removal,
With these, also, aro several large
chests containing Icttors ot tbe C cited
States Christian Commission, and a
box full of watches and valuables,
which agents of this commission found
upon tho bodies of doad soldiers on tbo
Datticnoid, but wnicn, tnougn adver
tised and otherwise brought within tho
reach of claimants, bad any existed,
could cover find owners.
Last Summer the Liverpool house of
the Stuarts became involved through
l-.nglish transactions, thereby the bouse
in 1'biladolpbia was forced Into
liquidation. All its obligations, how
ever, except such as sprang diroctly
from its connection with the J.nglish
house, wore mot. David Stuart is tho
ono living of four brothers who consti
tuted tbs Liverpool firm.and he for sev
eral yoars has been a helpless invalid.
I ho house was swopt away, alter ball
a century ot nigh standing, in tbo En
glish panic of last year, and its down-
tall has oarriod tbs rniladelpma philan
thropist along with it.
George 11. htuart was born in Ire
land in ltilfi. llocamo to this country
in 1K35. lie was an aidont member
of the First Reformed Presbyterian
church, which boa derived much ef its
prosperity from his generous contribu
tions, lie was a warm supporter to
tho missionary causo, and is a managor
and Vice President of tho American
Sunday School Union. But bis best
known philanthropic work was dono
when he wa the bead of tbe United
States Christian Commission. He
raised 10,000,000 to supply the soldiers
with spiritual and material comforts.
On one occasion, after the battlo of
Gettysburg, he telegraphed to Boston,
Can 1 draw on you tor bio,uou at
sight ?" The telegram was posted in
tho Boston exchange, and In naif an
hour the answer came back, "Draw
for 100,000."
Mr. Stuart in 18C8 was suspended by
the general synod of his church, on the
oharge of having sung hymns and com
muned with members of other evangeli
cal denominations, Thisaotof discipline
was widely condomued, and led to a
suspension of their relations with the
synod ot a number ot rresnyiones.
Mr. Stuart was a director in many In
surance and Trust Companies. Sinoe
1873 he has boen f resident ot the Me
chanics' National Bank of Philadel
phia, which was the only salaried office
IN I1IB pUBHVBT.I1Il.
Jorncy troqress payt bim thit
handsome compliment in a late num
ber : How to bear prosperity is tho
text of many a sermon, but how to
boar adversity domands a Tory differ
ent philosophy. Tbe case of a mas
who falls from wealth and ease by no
act ot his own into almost hopeless
privation, aud bears his change of life
with cheerful and uncomplaining tran
quility, is that spectacle tor the praise
of the gods of which the Pagan poet
spoke when ho referred to a brave soul
struggling with misfortune. Such a
case is that of my friend George 11.
Stuart, of this city, known all over this
country aa a model merchant, who bad
grown to commanding woalth by suc
cessful efforts, and wnose generosity
and energy in all humane and patri
otic effort made bia life a round of
happy contribution to the woltare of
bis adopted country. Suddenly he
6nds bis large fortune swept from un
der his feet by tho failure of another
whose endorser ho had become. He
surrendered all to tbe creditors, and
now in his old ago, ovor seventy, lives
in a routed house, yot moot his friends
every day with the tweet smilo of con
scions integrity and the proud content
resulting from a well-ordered and Hon
orable lifu. Tbe sacrifice must have
been torrible to such a man, but tbe
noblo manner in which be mado it, and
tbo fortitude with which he boars it,
mako altogolhor an example that will
be more useful to other than all hit
liberal gifts to humanity. George H.
Stuart ia still ono of tbe finest instances
of a good citizen.
It is stated on exoellent authority,
that "poor have y witb yea always."
Ths remark was true when uttered,
and it has beon. true ever since, and,
from nppoarance, ever will be. There
are thos who have no disposition to
save; who "live from band to mouth,"
so to speak ; who lake no thought of
tomorrow. Having enough for the
present hour, they aro content, and
leave the future to take care of itself.
If property wore to be equally divided
Monduy morning, before Saturday
night the majority would be in dosti
lulo circumsiaiicos, dead broke, while
the prudoDt and saving would be on the
road to pecuniary independence). One
olasa of people siend whatever money
they can gel hold of, and aa last aa
they can got it, while other same
means that come into thoir bands, judi
oiously invost the same, and become
rich. There are thoso who not only
do not know how to tavo, but tboy do
not know how to spend. II they get
anything it goo for what they do not
need ; lor articles that oould be dis
pensed with. Tbosewhoarodotlitute
of the comforts of life, as a rulo, may
blamo only themselves therefore. It
tboy have anything thoy do not take
care of It. They buy articles that peo
plein better circumstances would think
they could not afford. So tboy are
always poor. Reliove thoir wants to
day and they are no hotter off to-morrow.
Tbey are bound not to save to
have nothing, and are generally bouod
to be in debt if they can find anybody
that will trust them. - Of course we
