T Religion and Learning-. th I Associate Reformed Pi-esbyterian.] ln The death of Longfellow and Emerson *J this country, and Darwin in England, ree notable literary characters, will ? ise questions as to their religions belief * id the future influence of their writings ] i the Christian religion. They all had a rt of religion, but it was after the man- ' jrof men. Longfellow rarely, if ever, tended church, and evidently had no st conception of the great scheme of s." edemption. While all thai he wrote [ j as entirely respectful of Christianity, it those great moral facts which make P1 e Gospel "glad tidings" to the world 111 e quietly ignored. They never find ?! stinct recognition even in casual allu3n, and were evidently not believed. re uiean the great liicts of man's condi>n as a sinner at:d the substitutionary laracter of Christ's work as a Saviour. | ,( r. Emerson occupied a still lower and ' oader platform, it possible. Both alike! ,, garded the Bibfc, not as the inspired ! Wd of God, but simply as a very re- ^ arKatue iook, iiiucu 01 which deserves " ir highest admiration, but which cannot . . ; regarded as asupremeand final arbiter 1 matters of faith. Mr. Darwin openly jected Revelation, and some have raised ? e question whether or not he was an . tlieist. It should be stated that the 7 ires of these men were blameless and, in . any respects, exemplary. They were J.' oral, kind and charitable. But, so far i religion is concerned, they had none of in the evangelical sense of that term. The very fact that men of such talents id notoriety were rationalists and unbe- V ^vers will have its influence in fostering . lat old calumny, that religion is some- 1 ling good and needful, perhaps, for 111 eak and timid persons, but that its aimscannot.be vindicated before thorigh culture and the largest intelligence.1 any who will not yield to such errors, ill feel their influence. It must ever be lat intelligence and learning will comand the respect of the masses. This is ^ aural. Knowledge is power, and all en, in measure, acknowledge it. p] 'henever then we see popular poets, es- !. i.vists and philosophers, turning away ,j mil that wisdom which comes down oio above, it seems so anomalous that w e involuntary ask, Are those evidences, ^ hich seem to us so conclusive, really jj il'e? Even the sincere and earnest be- .v ever may be staggered for a moment by ie silent power of example so eminent id honored. Others there are who will q : once be continued in theirdpubts, and ho will feel that they cannot go far rong if they believe a? these great men ; j ideed, tliev may so delude themselves n lat they will esteem it an honor if they jj nd their own religious opinions in bar lony wiui tnose 01 1110 lamous poei or q hilosopher. How many sciolists, with- L] Lit a tithe of the ability of Darwin, will j, et successfully copy his infidelity! How ? lanv rhymsters will boastfully* aii the j| itionalisni of Emerson 1 Thus there v ill go out from these men influences a lost unfriendly to the highest and dear- tl <t interests of humanity. How dill'erent ^ would have been if Longfellow had ? jug like Cowper, and Darwin had rea- j| med like Bacon and Emerson had kiss- a J the lips of Foster. j, V Advertisements ns >e\vs. L By failing to observe what was to ap- a ear in their advertising columns tlie < jj Llier day, the New York Herald and ; a Vmea l<>st an opportunity to comment <c Jitorially on a very important event? ja le prospective retirement of A.

Editors Press and Banner: Before the irresistable light and advancement of civilization, the vril has I fallen which in dark ages lias obscured!' and rendered superstitions to the minds j < of men. An issue, especially in this free 1 country, can be investigated, and its re-jl vpoctive niorits, receive a calm and can-n ilid rehearsal without the slightest stain j upon those seeking knowledge, and truth I is investigators. < A dislike for the foreigner is an emotion latural to the human heart, but in the i, a road roads of a closer knowledge the j iversion of ages is drooping away, and I aiding its nlushing face beneath that feel- i ng of a com non brotherhood, that is S Miiinentlv a characteristic of tho Ameri- c an. Experience teachesus, that rearing, ( peculiar training, youthful inllnenco and t mpressions may have created tho erroneous opinions, but the extensive dif- ( Vision of literature, the whistle of the < hunder toned locomotive, the silent cur- c, ents of electricity which bear the thoughts <: villi lightning rapidity, are gradually \ orcing tho conviction, that deadly mis- '] akes are being discovered v hlcli will be t he duty of this generation to correct. But beneath all this there is one race, t >ne people, 'lis true they possess not u t latinnality, that is excluded from the d brotherhood, in which commonly is cm- c >raced all others, to whom the hand of v fellowship is not extended. And why is t t thus ? Do these people deserve a "dis- i; incter treatment, as man and human q )eings? Do they have horns ? c The exclusion of the Jew from the Aris- d ocratic society of Europe win bo readily t xplained, but the freezing reception ho neets in the freo and glorious land of s iberty and equality is perfectly inexplica- e )le. In view of the peculiarity of our in- \ titutions and professsions has America i right to bestow such treatment on the fi lew ? This is an asylum, where the per- t edited of all climes may flee, and find a a ;rand protection, and from the fourquar- e eis of the globe, the dissatisfied have ome, and mingling the nationalities in Ii me grand commonwealth, have we a tia- c ion and a land. All is new here, no es- i ablished nobility to cast its frown upon ii he "Jewish gaberdine," andyet the com- p non herd, the mass, and even men of inelligence fail, utterly fail, to treat the lew as a man and as an equal. Take . practical, everyday life view of the idea ud such exparience bears out the asser- P ion. Men having the most intimate busi- . tessrelations,findingtheJewhonestinall lealings, will not receive him in his ocial circle, and why? Simply because ? 10 is a Jew unrefined? Why because omingtothis American land, receiving . 10 admission into its good society, seeing '! 10 avenue for professional career, he with eculiar adaptability, embarks in mercanile pursuits and there ho lives, and in " iiirsuit of wealth ho dies, he is drawn J-1 mm society to himselfand that is the cause ' f holdi ng himself aloof from its unwil- v ing aims, ho does not desire to enter r /here hospitality's doors aro not thrown j' tie "portal wido" for him. A honest ' liinker will not form his opinion of a rj ace of people by studying the character- J sties of a particular class of them, and a 0 Americans should not form their opln- " >n of the Jew bv some of the "tribe," ? 'here is an enlightened class of Israelites 1 this country, and the admittance of hem could surely reflect no discredit pon society. But even these, if met, so r1 urprise the beholder tnat he will exclaim J) Surely you are not a Jew," and so it is, nd why this marked distinction "hath " Jew not a heart" t Why was Shylock P Shy lock ? a man who could have pusassed thb nobility ofsoul, which was un- 11 oubtedly a characteristic of the ill treat- K d money lender, would certainly have " domed a higher station in life had such n life been open to his attainment. There re many men, notli withstanding that this i the nineteenth century who are yet, lied with prejudice for a*people, worthy " ideed of the highest respect. Rj1 To judge of the whole by a part is like the lj. inglish lady whose idea was that Ameri?n's lived on buffalo meat. The Jew as a proud history even if it has been imitied, and as littlo is known of the C ue history of God's chosen, as is known ^ f (hem to-day. Their ceremonies arc ? ?~.*i?

It ^ nn mantis'respect for tlie stranger, and immands just and regular rights. The w of Moses commands man to love his ci ?ighbor as himself, to speak little andjju > much. A learned Rabbi was asked to jJ( 11 of the Jews religion while he stood 1 one foot and he replied, "What is dis- ? leasing to thy self do not thou this uni thy neighbor," all the rest is cominenry.

The liquor law requires every licensed barkeeper who sells liquor to sell it in a room fronting on h public street, without any screen, curtain or other device 'or preventing the passing public from 'ully viewing what may bo transpiring tvitiiin." Taking for granted that the Legislature lad a rtght to make such a law, what :ould have been its object ? It has no doubt been observed by the jentle reader that quite a number of the massing public stop when they get to a jarroom and go aside.

Porhans it was the Idea of the Leiris?a tire that this plan would lesson the numier of barrom customers; that many who Irink behind n screen, curtain or other levice would not drink in public view, vhere every body could see and know hem. If this were the object, we subnit a better plan would have been to reinire the bar-keeper to keep a list of his ustomers, with the number kinds of Irinks they take, and to publish them in he newspapers. The lawabovo alluded to, or something imllar, was enacted in 18.15 ; it was renacted and becu.mo a portion of the Reused Statutes of 1870. We presume it is this law, under a diferent phraseology that Is incorporated in he new Revised Statutes, which were dopted at the last session and went into fleet. May 1st. Most ??f the saloons in Newborry have lad their screens removed so that the ounters, shelves, bottles and glasses are n full view of the street; and if the passrig public do not fully view what is translirmg within it is it's own fault. - - + Important to PrtYsiciANs. ?
