The Sneriean Title of ‘Slister.”
One of the New York papers having
uttered a serious protest against the
American fashion of prefixing the title
(if “Honorable” to the names of men
in public positions, the sharp edged
Richmond Enquirer cries “ditto to
Jilr. Burke," and discourses thus, with
ah anecdote thrown in:
We lias e had a Strangelove for that
simple but manly title of’ mister ever
since we were able to distinguish be
tween true worth and mere preten
sion. We cannot say it was innate or
inuitive, but it came to us through our
devotion to our boyhood’s hero. A
gallant, alas’, fell by his own hand in a
lii of hereditary insanity, at Fortress
Monroe, long before he was forced to
decide between his State and his coun
try'. It was at the close of the Mexi
can war, when most of the officers,
were receiving brevet titles. We hap
pened to be present, and were tolera
ted by them as a mere boy, when a
discussion arose among them as to
tijles. Our favorite and Mentor,
whose words were then our oracles,
(Vid who had received a brevet for
gallant and meritorious services, said:
“The true title of an American gentle
man is Mister. It is, when worthily
worn, above any that can be conferred
by prince or potenate, or won by mili
tary or civil services; and while I shall
deserve the respect of men so far as
to merit that title, equi-distant from
disgusting familiarity and servile flat
tery, lam content.” From that time
we have set a high value upon our
only American title of nobility—the
simple but expressive little word Mis
ter.
ASTRONOMICAL.
An eminent European astronomist
lias announced a curious theory con
ccreing the nature of Saturn’s rings—
Iris theory being nothing more nor less
than that these rings are composed of
numbers of small satellites revolving
round the planet, which satellites arc,
in fact, meteors arrested by the planet
as they descended toward the sun.
The conclusion is arrived at that the
energy of the sun’s light and heat has
been derived from meteors falling into
»I —a theory, however, long since pro
pounded and discussed in scientific
circles, but which it met by still an
other hypothesis, namely, that the so
li r corona consists of meteors ejected
by the sun; though it is difficult to
understand how the ejecting force can
be perpetuated. That tlm solar light
and heat are maintained by meteors
being generated into the realms of
.space by the action of light upon the
«;»ipm»dorablo ether, producing - such
motions in it as generate gravity and

The revival work continues unabat

not a wide-spread and general move
i.»ent, many interesting facts are re
corded in connection with it. Rev. E.

From Father to Sou.
One day a young man entered a
merchants office in Boston, and, with
a pale and careworn face, said:
“Sir, lam in need of help. I have
been unable to meet certair. payments
because certain parties have not done
by me as they agreed to, and I would
like to have two thousand dollars. I
come to you because you were, a friend
to my father, and might be a friend to
me.”
“Come in,” said the old merchant;
“come in ami have a glass of wine.”
“No,” said the young man, “I do
not drink.”
“Have a cigar, then."
“No; I never smoke. ’
“Well,” said the old gentleman, “I
would like to accommodate you, but I
don’t think I can.”
Very well, said the young man, as
he was about to leave the room; I
thought, perhaps, you might. Good
day, sir.
Hold on, said the merchant. You
don’t drink?
No, sir.
Nor gamble, nor anvthing of that
kind?
No, sir; lam superintendent of the
Sunday School.
Well, said the merchant, you shall
have it. and three times the amount, if
you wish. Your father let me have
rive thousand dollars once, and asked
me the same questions. He trusted
me, and I will trust you. No thanks
—I owe it to you for your lather’s
trust
Success Makes Enemies.— They who
are eminently' successful in business,
who achieve greatness, notoriety in any
pursuit, must expect to make enemies.
So prone to petty jealousy and sordid
envy is poor human nature, that who
ever becomes successful is a mark for
the malicious spite of those who, not
deserving success themselves, are envi
ous of the merited triumph of the
more worthy. Moreover the opposi
tion which originates in such despica
ble motives, is sure to be of the most
unscrupulous character; hesitating at
no iniquity, descending to the shabbi
est littleness. Opposition, if it be hon
est and manly’, is not in itself undesira
ble. The competitor in life’s struggles
who is of true mettle, deprecates not
opposition of an honorable character,
hut rather rejoices in it It is only in
justice or meanness that he deprecates;
and it is this which the successful must
meet to the measure of success which
excites it.
Th'.t a large proportion of the pre
vailing intemperance hu>. its origin in
our social drinking usages is probably
true; and it is gratifying to know that
the friends of Temperance in this city
at their meeting last week, laid special
stress on this phase of the question.
Rev. Dr. John Hall, in his address,
made the point that there is very little
to be gained by endeavoring to con
vert the sellers of intoxicating liquors
so long as the habit or fashion of
drinking wines ami strong beverages
on social and festive occasions is so
wide-spread. He believes also that
many who now adhere to this custom
would abandon it if their attention
were called to the importance of doing
so. Good speeches followed from Hon.
W illiam E. Dodge, Rev. Messrs. Foss,
Frothingham, Steele, Page and others.
One oi the resolutions which the meet
ing ’ oted appeals especially to “those
whose education or position gives
them a commanding sway over the
opinions and practices others, to teach
both by example and precept the fun
damental lesson of the temperance re
form - total abstinence from all intoxi
cating liq’.u is. ”
Advice.. A young man must abstain
