Utoral and lu'liatous. For the Gazette. ! The Golden Rule. (CONCLUDED.) And if we are honest, I think we | will be obliged to say that the Silver rule is the highest maxim we have yet j learned to honor. In fact many per- I sons will say, in plain terms, "If ] am jjust that s enough. If Ido my neigh ; L>ors no harm, what more can be requir ' ed of mo?" My friend, nothing more is required of you by the silver rule of jewish rabbis and heathen moralists; j but if you mean to be a christian, you i : must make up your mind, and opon I your heart for a great deal more. I • admit that it is something, yea, that I it is much, if a man come up to the j standard of the silver rule—if a man t carefully abstain from inflicting upon others injury and injustice, which he would not have inflicted on himself. I am afraid that the majority of us have scarcely come up to this point yet; hut wc must aim at something higher j' than this; we are not perfect; we are i not Christ-like; wc are not christians, ,i unless not only strict justice, but also i the most expansive generosity be firm- j) ly established in our hearts, and con- t stantly shown forth in our conduct. A just man, who is nothing more than *1 just, does not and cannot fulfil this \ right royal law; he pays every man 1 his dues, and pays punctually and in j full; he is never guilty of slander; he bears in his heart no ill-will to any one; he does to no man what he would not have done to himself; but still he ~i does not obey either the letter or spirit ! ' ol this command, "All things wbatso- i ever ye would that men should do to | you, do ye even to them." This ' law can scarcely be misunderstood by i any intelligent and conscientious man. Although Christ says, in unqualified j terms, that we are to do to others all things that w r e would wish them to do to us, it is very plain that he can only , mean all tilings that are really right. But this law, as it stands, with the un qualified "all things whatsoever," is liable to abuse on the part of the un- , conscientious. For instance, there , stands a prisoner at the bar; he has been tried for wilful murder, the jury, after careful deliberation, have return- j ed a verdict of guilty, and the judge , is putting on tlie black cap, and about to pronounce the sentence of death. "Stop!" says the prisoner, "}'Ourlord ship professes to be a christian, and to take the golden rule for your motto. Now, my lord, if you were in my place in this dock, and I in yours upon that bench, you know very well that you would wish me to spare }'Our life; therefore I ask you to spare mine—to do to others as you would they should do to you. To this his lordship might reply that he was not at liberty to act for himself; that, in fact, he was the representative of the nation in that act of passing sentence, and he might further say, "In hanging you, 1 am only doing to others as I would they should do to mo. lam doing, if not to you, to the people of this countr}*, what 1 should wish them to do to me; 1 am ridding them of a dangerous char acter ; I am consulting their safety, as I would wish them to consult mine." If every scoundrel is to plead the gold en rulo in mitigation of the punish ment of his guilt, then there is an end of all public justice. The magistrate lias his duties to the pcoplo, as well as to the criminal; he must not wrong them, ont of pity for him; every per i son under such circumstances must j have justice; they deserve justice; i consequently this rulo cannot le ap plied in mitigation of thpir punish- j , meut. Therefore the criminal, the idler ' ami the impostor in vain plead this law, as if it were in their favor. It is not a law that connives at iniquity. Its spirit is essentially this—that I am to do to others ail those just and gene rous things which I would fairly and reasonably expect others to do to me. i Men may wish us to do things|that Vol. LVI. No. 13- arc wrong, and plead t hat if we were in tiieir uircumtitanees, we should wish them to do wrong things for us ; but tlie generosity ot the golden rule must of'course he restricted within the lim its of justice. Having thus noticed the manner in which the golden rule may be misrepresented and misapplied, it is now time to speak of its applica tion. as one of the great principles un der the guidance of which man ought to live 1 believe there is not much diversity of opinion as to the value of this rule. It meets with almost uni versal approval. Every one reminds his neighbor of it; almost every one boasts that he always observes it. and from the great admiration with which the golden rule is regarded, and the praise heaped upon it, it might be sup posed that this precept governed all and regulated all men's conduct; that all their words and all their works were carefully measured by this rule. But notwithstanding the amount of ad miration which this great principle so j generally and almost universally com , mands, there is u general, an almost universal complaint that it is not prac tically honored. Tire rule most gene rally recognized is rather this, not, " Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you," but "Whatsoever ye find that men do to you, do ye even so to them." People are perpetually say ing to each other, Do as you would be done by," but those who expect others to act thus to them, seem never to think that they are also thus to act to others. Now, instead of thus com plaining of each other and storming at each other, because this law is uot ob served, it will be a much more sensible course for every man to see to it that he himself, in all his oonduct, acts as tire law requires, for it is not given to 11s by its great author, as an instru ment of ciiJcism and a means of de tecting our neighbor's faults, but as a rule for the correction of our own. I dare say you can point to many a man, .that you are at this very moment thinking of some man, who does not. Jo as he would be done by; but possi bly, some one is thinking and saying dust the same thing of you, and with fjuiyi as good reason. This, then, be the ruling principle in all bu siness transactions. In all such trans actions, each party is, by this law, re quired tp suppose himself in the posi tion of the other, to consider what he would have fair reason to expect were |he in the position of the other, and to iict accordingly. Therefore, whatever .may be our situation or business in life, £h ere is a relationship existing, that is 'not properly valued by the creature in the sphere in which he is called to act. jA.nd as there are great developements made by the ration in all practical op erations in machinery, which are still nearing perfection; why are not those proper developments made on this golden rule, for the benefit of practical life? A golden chain, the links of which unite the hearts of men togeth er, and thereby bind the heart of the nation ; producing the happy result both of social and pecuniary benefit. But casting our thoughts broadcast upon the world, we discover that those principles are made subservient to ava rice and pride, "the sin that is a re proach to any nation." If it were the kind of pride that would elevate and cultivate and make practicable the principles of the royal law, we could rejoice in the prospect of salutary re sults. But men generally labor as if their wealth, comfort, and happiness, were couched within their own efforts and judgement; but not so, man should answer to man, by adapting his labors to the benefit of others, and thereby fulfil another noble precept, in "Not seeking our own, bntanother's wealth." Our effort should be to root up the ex isting evils of society, and not seek who may be most apt in sowing the seeds of evil and discord ; in not mak ing these noble principles subordinate, but subservient to the best interest of societj*; laying aside individual inter est, the idea that self is the man ; the mighty love of the dollar, which is the root of all evil, and fail to obtain it, from a non-application of the golden rule; and by which many are blind- I folded, and have no scruple of guilt, of | conscience. Now the result of this is, ! that we either are ignorant, or wilful ly violate this gonorous and universal command. Oh .' Away with such dia bolical ignorance. Away with such wilful depreciation of known duty. It will all perish in the grave. Yes, worse, it will be a means of binding our souls to an eternal fate. The adoption of bad principles are worse than none at all; by it we forfeit the true benefits of society, and lose the diadem of life; the boon which our Heavenly Father gratuitously bestowed upon all. Samuel Poor man, son of Lieut. W. F. Poonnan, had his right hand horribly lacerated by some of the machinery in the Harrisburg cotton mill, where he was em ployed.
