[From the London Saturday Review.] There are, in spite of all proper platitudes to the contrary, a good many virtues which are more offensive than vices. We can for? give a man for being a habitual drunkard, or even lor habitual lying, but it ls terribly diffi? cult to forgive him for systematic punctuality and early rising. The whole group of virtues of which those practices are generally symp? tomatic ls of an offensive caste. Probably their possessors are so well aware that their habits are generally considered insulting to their neighbors, that they wrap themselves in more than the ordinary pomp of self-righte? ousness. ' Tney are obliged to wear a good thick armor to protect themselves from the odium due to their unsocial excellencies. The taste for such observances grows by indul? gence. AB the frat glass ol brandy ls fre? quently the ruin of the unfortunate man in whom a turn for dipsomania ls latent, so the delight of rlflinr. one morning and glorying In Imagination or er millions ol one's recumbent fellow-creatures is se keen that the downward etep 1B rapidly followed by others. The man who would tie agreeable to mankind should guaxcrfagainat the first lapse into virtue. As a rule, the taste ls acquired at an early period of life, before the full consequences ol unswerv? ing morality are appreciated. It 1B prevalent among those excellent and oppressive young men who, at a later period, rejoice in the pos? session of a high moral sense. A litttle knot of sympathetic youths gather at a university; they divide the various talents and virtues among themselves with the con f dence of youthful Alexanders partitioning the world among their followers; and If the priggish element happens to be powerful they affect what used to be called earnestness-a term which, as we believe, ls now becoming utterly obsolete. It means a profound con? viction that the earnest person regulates all li?8 actions according to a lofty moral code; or, which ls supposed to come to much the ' Barna thing, that a lofty moral code ls sure to justify whatever he does. The duller mem? bers- of the body have to content themselves with aggravated forms Of punctuality, pecuni oaltyand other small virtues; the cleverer probably succeed In imposing upon the world at large, which is always willing to join In a chorus of vigorous laudation, and develop Into conscientious ministers, bishops and chancel? lors. They are so elaborately scrupulous that whatever they do has a peculiar grace, and those actions which would be considered as I jobs or time-serving in the worldly have a fine J moral flavor In their mouths, which gives to I any cavil a distinct air of profanity. The world ls said to be censorious, and to be too I ready to Suspect good men of having a touch of the Pecksniff in their compositions. We ate more often surprised, we must confess, at the readiness with which a man's own vam-1 ation of his merits ls generally accepted; but lt ls true that a certain smouldering disposition to revolt ls frequently generated by .these Irre- 1 presslbly virtuous persons. i There ls one virtue which ls frequently af- I footed by men ot this kind. They are given to insisting, with ostentatious humility, upon their admirable candor. The objections to thia qualify lo private life are pretty generally I understood. It means a disposition to tell a friend of his faults, not because you want to annoy bim, which ls pardonable, but because you are anxious to do him good, which, as need hardly be said, is Intolerable. The char acter ls a tempting one for purposes of fiction, and bas been pretty well worked out by novel lats and playwrights. They, Indeed, generally fall Into the error of representing the practice I as a piece of consolons hypocrisy. Sneer tells I Slr Fretful Plagiary ot the criticisms which have been directed against him with the com-1 paratively Innocent motive of deriving amuse-1 ment from the irritability of his acquaint ance. The more frequent character lu real life ls the maa who really thinks that his unpleasant I information witt improve his victim. He has been 'so much accustomed to think ol himself aa a kind of voluntary missionary to the misguided mass of his fellow-creatures, that, he talla into the natural error of believing good advice to be sometimes useful. He bas I .onvlnoed himself, or rather, he has unawares adopted the pleasing delusion, that to tell a man to walk due south ia not the most proba-1 ble means of starting him toward the North I . Pole. It requires unusual loree of sympa-1 the tic imagination to understand the BtraBge transactions to which any sentiment will be subjected when it ls transferred from your own mind to that of another person; and sym pathetic Imagination is precisely the quality j In which a gentleman excusably absorbed in the oontemplatloo of his own virtues ls apt to be deficient. There ls another form of the virtue, however, which ls defended upon moro refined principles, and which ls, perhaps, not without its merits 'when I it ls genuine-that, namely, which is called intellectual candor. The genuine quality is as use lui as lt la rare. Nobody can read much of the controversial Utera ture of the day without perceiving that, as a I genenal rule, each side confines Itself to the study of Its own literature. We should not I see a confident opinion about matters In which the ablest men are at variance, commended as I a virtue in those who are totally unable to ap-1 - predate the first conditions ot the problems I at issoe, where lt not that each party general-1 ' !y forms a little world of its own, and ls as Incapable of appreciating the state ol mind of its opponents as of entering Into the pre-1 ?licet, of the inhabitants of the moon. Mr. I U somewhere strongly recommends the practice of steadily reading the works of I onr antagonists; and be bas himself given I some excellent examples ot the advantage of the practice. It has, perhaps, one recomraeo dation which its advocates did not directly contemplate. A Rad.ual, for example, who only reads Radical literature is apt to become doubtful of his own convictions when he ob serves how many of the stupidest and most ignorant of mankind entertain them as firmly I as himself. It ls necessary, In order to restore bia self-complacency, that he should plunge I for a time Into the hostile literature; he will be repaid for the first shock of natural anlipa thy by the discovery that folly and stupidity I are not confined to any one side of any ques-1 Hon. The frame of mind which Is generated j by many-sided studies ls certainly a desirable I one, and lt ls frequently described by the name I ot candor. But there ls a kind of bastard imitation of the same v!: tue which ts far more common, and by no means so estimable. A I whole slock of commonplaces has been accu-1 mulated by the dealers in this commodity I about . theological and ' political questions. They are fond of talking about the falsehood I of extremes, and have a summary mode of settling all controversies by striking a balance between the most remote opinions. There ls I something to be said for the ultra Democrat, 1 and something for the bigoted Reactionist. Go half way between the two, and you cannot fall bf being In the right. In aesthetic and philo- I BopbicaT questions the same kind of opinion I calls itself eclecticism, and lt ls Infinitely com-1 fortable for people who dislike the responsi-1 blllty of striking out ao original line for them selves. The doctrine commends itself very I strongly to the earnest-minded person gene rally. He Is anxious to recognize everything I which is pot forward with due solemnity, and, by placing himself at a central point between the various extremes, he can gain at a cheap I rate a reputation for large-mindedness and width ot sympathy. Moreover, he can thus reconcile deen convictions with facility for gradually shuting Into any system of opinion that may be convenient. A generous recog-1 nltlon of the good that may be found on all sides Is a fine decorous virtue, almost Indis-1 pensable to the preservation of a high moral tone. When you consider a theory to be alto-1 pether wrong, you are apt to laugh at lt, aed I the truly earnest man should never laugh. Now lt ls as plain that this theory has some thing in it as lt Is plain that lt is lar from being an accurate statement of the truth. If we endeavor to apply the principle of striking an average between extremes to any case In which there ls a general agreement of opinion, we at once come upon the most palpable ab-1 surtitles. One set of philosophers held that the sun went round the earth, and another that the earth went round the sun; and the I .only mode ol reconciling the two opinions is > to-be io un d in the answer of that distinguished candidate at a competitive examination who said that lt was sometimes one and sometimes tba other body which-revolved. Or, to leave questions in which the method is obviously [ Inapplicable, we might take some of the j political compromises that have been I heW at different times. For example, [ there were the theories about tolera t?os; The extremists were absurd enough j lo sav that every creed ought to be tolera? ted. Locke, though a very enlightened man for his age, lelt thai this was going a Utile too lar. and, in order to maintain a character for common sense, decided that a line must be di awn somewhere, and drew it at Atheists and PaD.sts. Others adopted a theory con? ceived in the spirit of that ingenious Cornish juryman who, when a man was accused on doubtful evfdence ot poisoning an old woman, remarked that he would "gie un a month in the debtors'ward. '- They thought that burn? ing a Dissenter was wrong, but did not object to a reasonable amount of imprisonment. The case Indeed was one In which the extremists on one side or the other were obviously right. We must either grant absolute freedom, which is the conclusion generally adopted, or perse? cute BO vigorously as to suppress the heresy. Any number of other cases might easily be suggested in which the choice really lies between one or two diametrically opposed prin? ciples; and any kind of compromise, even if | advisable in practice for a time, ls obviously untenable in theory. Indeed, it may be doubted whether this does not more frequently hold true than the opposite. The tr M h of which the doctrine ot the advantagt of middle courses seems to be an imperfect oppression, ls, in its genuine form, of a dlffereui nature. It ls quite true, and it is highly Important to remember, that when any large number of | people hold any given opinion mere must be some general cause for lt; but it does not at all follow that the cause ls that the opinion contains any large element, or even any ele? ment whatever, of soundness. Mankind ls foolish, and bas frequently maintained a pas-1 sionate bellefin degrading superstitions of va? rious kinds lor many centuries together. Any such superstition must have had some reason tor permanence; that is to say, it must have gratified some moral or intellectual Instincts. A satisfactory explanation of the facts to which lt refers must explain what was the patureoflts lafluence; but lt does not follow that the Influence depended sven in the very smallest degree upon the truth of | the opinions held. It ls an easy misap? plication of this obvious truth to assume that any two hostile opinions are always complementary, and that a complete theory may be reached by combining them. The mei hpd ls attractive in proportion to ii s east- j ness; but unluckily it will not work. Genuine candor would force us to admit that no theory ls Bound which does not explain how lt came to be generally misunderstood. When we know the real arrangement of the solar sys-, tem, we can easily account for the delusions j which retarded IIB r?cognition, and lt ls per? fectly easy to understand why toleration has made such slow progress In the world; out it j would be the height of absurdity to attempt a discovery of the troth by combining the oppo? site doctrines. And thus lt ls well to remem? ber that1 candor may sometimes compel us to Bay, not that everybody ls more or less right, but that a large part of mankind ls hopelessly Blupld and Ignorant, and has accepted many doctrines because a gross blunder ls often much easier than a true solution of a difficulty.

' GUYOTS TAR ^ CONCENTRATED PROOF LIQUEUR Mr Guyot has succeeded in depriving tar of its insupportable sourness and- bitterness, and in rendering it very soluble. Profiting by this happy discovery, he prepares a con? centrated liqueur ^of tar, which in a small volume contains a large proportion of the active' prinqiple. Guyot'? tar possesses all the advantages of ordinary tar-water without any of ils draw? backs A glass of excellent tar-water without any disagreeable taste may be instantaneously obtained by pouring a teaspoonful into a glass of water. Any one san thus prepare his glass of tar ' water at the moment he requires it, thus economizing time, facilitating carriage and obviating the disagreeable necessity of hand? ling tar. Guyot s tar replaces advantageously se? veral more or less inactive ptisans in the treatment of colds, bronchitis, coughs, and catarrhs. Guyot s tar is employed with thc greatest success in the following diseases : AS A DRAUGHT. - A leasponfal in a glass of water, or two tablespoonfuls in a bottle. BRONCHITIS CATARRH OF THE BLADDER COLDS OBSTINATE COUGHS IRRITATION OF THE CHEST PULMONARY CONSUMPTION WHOOPING COUGH DISEASES OF THE THROAT AS A LOTION. - Pure or diluted with a little water.
