For the Gaxkttb. The Oneness of Morality. 4<Tb© doctrine and practice of social duty," ia tbe nominal deflnition given to morality. This meaning presents to us the more skeleton ; while it leaves unnoticed the flesh, the muscles, and all that make up the symetrical body, nay, even the very life principle of morality. In the daily uio of the term, it is so customary to oonNidor it in its separate virtues, that iU oneness is loat sight of.^ A common thief or drunkard is rightly stigmatised as An immoral man; but what is said of the man of respec'-able exterior and widespread influence, who is nevertheless a ruthless tyrant to his dependent#, who recklessly squanders the meagre savings of tho poor, who ac- • cumulates wealth by selling inferio- articles for good ones? Despite these "dark spots" in his character, his wealth . and influence buy for him a reputation wonderfully cheap ; if he walk through a hospital, he is a saint ; if he give the fiftieth part of his income to charity, he ] is a model of liberality. Society does } not brand him as infamous nor does the " ! finger of scorn point him out as a character to he shunned. • : So the woman, perchance is mildly j censured, who wastes the energies be- • i longing to her family, pursuing tbe gid- ! Hv butterfly of fashion ; who strands her ay ouuerny ui uwhwh , "«v —

husbands financial prospects upon the shoals of extravagance, who allows the weeds of vice to poison the minds of her offspring, or in any other way violates tbe plain duties of her position a* wife or mother. But so long as she indulp* in no open vice, no one dreams of impeaching her morality. This ordinary use of the term morality however, ignores tho essential character of virtue. True morality muftt reign in the heart as a love, a desire and a motive power. This distinction is not | vague ; for as wo see the fruit of a tree, but not its roots ; so we see the demeanor of man, but not the motives, which determine the character of all his actions. Motive therefore is the centre around which all the virtues of character revolve, and which like a sun, gives life and light to every part of the moral system. Blot tho sun out of the physical uni verse, and death and darkness follow ; j take away this vital principle of moral i ty, and the virtues loose their brightness and animation. Generally however, mor al educators are satisfied with persuad ing men to confortn their lives to the approved rules of action. As induct I menta to lives of virtue, the present motives, selfish and transitory in their very nature j motives based upon theft* lation hf present action to personal and immediate happiness and gain. Teh mich motives reach the core of the mat ter, for they arc urged in proportion to I their power to accomplish certain courses of action ; whereas the real merit of action depends upon the motive which prompts it. This school of moral education, graduates those who regard virtue only as it produces personal gain. With them friendliness ia but a ruse ; benevolence, a stepping stone ; truthfulness, a cloak, , and honesty, a policy, to gain a raputation. They may base their morality upon ' I these virtu ss, but that morality which inapirsa Uis soul, and makes rightrdoinf

tfc* moat precious and natural desire of < the life, ia not within ths range of their < tpperiano*. ' Temptation and advarss/nrcumaUnera too often sweep away tbnne sandy twin- 1 daLone, and ibetr morality tottem and J talis in disgrace and infamy. Integrity of heart oopaisU, not so gnuph in ths posnesrion of truth, as in jjthe inclination to seek for it « not so much in ths knowledge of right, as in ths earnest desire to do right ; not so much in the endeavor to reach a fixed standard of morality, e# in the constant ..Jfcrt to follow the loftiest ideals of axoaUanoe. A life prompted by such desires and motives, though it may lack many external adornments, it ever ascending. Each step leads the possessor to wider views of virtue and loftier ideals of duty. As hi# heart turns to right and truth, the scales of ignorance drop from hu mind's eye, and duties, which were shrouded in mist, appear in all their brightness to reoeive his cheerful sup port. Such desire« and motives produce men who remain loyal to the claims o i conscience in every varying circum stance ; men who do not consent U> wrong although the whole would ap prove it, who stand up for the right though they stand alone ; men who an* not for sale to any man or any psrty at any price, who are valient for the truth and hate wrong whether in boggart or j in riches; men who do not lie to .bide their own faults, nor to cover np wrong, whether in their employers, their parties or their sects. Morality comprises the whole of our social duty ; it is displayed not so much m single actions as in the tenor and bearing of the. whole life. Strip it of half its significance, and our ideal of individual character u degraded, s the bonds of social duty are relaxed, and the public prosperity is obstructed. Let us, then, cast to the winds any standard that protects, from the charge of immorality, public and private falsehood, treachery and dishonor ; that creates a false estimate of our obligation to our neighbor, our country and our God. i ▲ r 1 Remains of a People Who Lived 1 2,500 Years Ago . i t, Dr. Samuel Kinns, F. R. A. S-, delive ered a lecture recently in London on s the Assyrian antiquities in the British s Museum. His object was not only to - convey views of life as it existed 3,000 years ago in tbe cities of Nineveh and f Babylon, but to demonstrate the vast value of the Assyrian remains in the - national collection. In a general surr vewof tho collection Dr. Kinns remark-

ed that it was unique, and its value could not be estimated. If it were de- ; •itroyed nothing could bo found to compensate for its low*. It showed us the manners and customs of a people whe existed nearly 2,500 years ago. By the pictures in stone and the writings we could see how these people lived and how they made war ; we could see them in their homes ; we could observe their , social customs ; we could even study | their religion. We could, moreover, obtain remarkable confirmation of the truth of Holy Writ by evidence traced | out nearly 1 ,000 years before the Chri* tian era. In order to give his audience an idea of the site of Nineveh and Babylon, the lecturer compared it with modern London by means of plans. London, it appeared, covered only half tbe area of Nineveh, while the whole area of the metropolis was seen to occu py about the same relative position with regard to Babylon as the city of London itself occupies with regard to the vast gathering of houses which compose the English capital. Dr. Kinns dwelt at length upon the vast dimensions of the destroyed cities, thoir mag tiifieenee, the character ot the palace* and temples, the means of protecting the cities, and other features, including tbe vast winged hulls, and discoursed upon the symbolical teachings conveycd in these works of of the representations were intended tp symbolic the Deity, and it' could ho seen p that tbe Assyrians attributed to their i Deity omnipotence and omniscience, and characterised him as the albwbe and all -just. They gave him all the l highest attribute#, except mercy, which i was quite unknown to the people, their ♦ atone representations showing that the , utmost cruelty prevailed. At considerable length Dr. Kinns described the Aasyrian system of government, the re- * ligious rite# performed, the art of maki ing war, the working in the quarries, F and the domeetic life of the inhabitant# #

Down at Howell the other day an old 1 woman about seventy years old boerd- . I ed a Detroit, Lancing and Nothern { train to come to Deiriot. Her baggage consisted of a Urge covered basket, and > she wouldn't allow any hand to take it ) | from her. She had scarcely got seated [ when the passengers were startled by a t loud "Me ow I" in the car, quickly fifth „ lowed by a "per -wo W and other "vow*' too numerous to mention. While al. i were searching to discover the cat the , old lady rat as stiff as a poker and look-

ed straight ahead at the stovepipe, j The sounds continued, and a passenger a finally peered around until he located € the cat in her basket. | 1 "Madam, are you taking that cat from < one county to another ?" he asked. | , "What cat F1 she snapped. j i "Don't you know that under the Uws 1 ! of this State," he went on, "a person { I who removes a full-grown cat from one t ' county to another without the written j permission of the Swamp Land Com J mission ens is liable to a fine of $100? 4tGood land* I but I didn't know that?" she exclaimed, as she faced around. "Women don't keep track of the laws as men do," he said. "Peraonalh I'd like to see you take the est through j to Detroit, but there may be some one on this train just mean enough to in- • form against you and hsve you arrested. | I'd let her out if I were you." i "Yea, 1 will, Cot 1 don't want to break I any laws at my age." Slie fumbled arountl the basket for a j minute, and all of a sudden tbe oat ! jumped out. Fhe alighted oti tbe head j of the man who put up the job. gave him several sharp digs, and then leaped 1 from one to another like a squirrel. I biting, spitting and clewing ra she went. Everybody rose up and yelled— everybody but the old woman. She sat like . a statue, afraid of being suspected. k When the feline had gone through the . . length of the car she turned to an open window and shot out like a bullet, land ! ing right-side up and making tracks for a barn in a field. 4 "Who brought that cat on board? 1 demand the name of the person who ^ | owned that rat V% shouted a man whose head had felt hot claws until the blood 0 run. No one answered, Several passengers looked straight at the ©M woman, who t stood it fhr a minute and then lifted up p her brake! and railed •

A writer who is familiar with its virtu** say* : "I have known men and women who from various cause# had beoosn# *0 much affected by nervousness that when they stretched out their hands they ! shook like aspen leaves on a windy day, and by a moderate daily nee of th# blanched footstalks of oeUry ac a rated they became as steady in the limbs as other people. 1 have known others so nervous that the IraM anpoytnoe ^pwt who were also effartnall^7 raved by a moderate daily use of blanched celery a* salad at meal-time. 1 have known others to be cured of palpitation of the heart. Everybody engaged in labor weakening to the nerves should uee celery daily in the season end oniou# in its steed when not in season To this we may add that a prominent New Y<otk druggist draws in winter from hi* tods -fountain a hot extract cf celery, mixed with Liehig s meat-extract, under tbe name of "oxoelery."
