THE HIGHER LIFE.

As,aiwritar;on t aooial. that is elevating in thought, as welt as elegant in diction, Mrs Lynn Lynton has achieved ■ a decided reputation. In her ..article on the Religion of Self Respect in the “ New,Review,” she makes a bold but justifiable attack on the money grabbing tendency of,the times. She seeks to awake . nynew consciousness the moral sense of worthlessness of mere goldworship.' . “ After all,” she says “ money is not the end of life, for when death comes is of no avail. This rather is the true end of life ; to try to lead a life .of.jhappiness, not,of pleasure ; to do right because it is.right. to do right even though itj. may appaar.to other people wrong, even though it may be contrary to all accepted maxims of our commercial world.

In every little detail we are mercilessly ordered-by- these two tyrants—(Justo.rn.and Society,” This is, if merciless, to a great extent too true, tint it is also true, especially of our own land, that there are large □umbers, and the numbers are constantly increasing, who think for themselves", tfhO i will no longer be content to pay slavish obedience to the mandates of Cust.ona enji ; Society. They will hot believe what theft intelligence controverts, simply because i “ everybody says so ; ” they will not,, do i what’ does not seem right, because “ everybody does so.” They swing out from the beaten paths of creed and custom to find greener fields and pastures new ” or thought and action. So come to'theworld new inventions to ease the burden of labor, new remedies to cheat the yawning grave of its victims, new and better notions of existence in the life which ia~!.tp come. If there was mi otiginal ti inkers the sun would still circle through the heavens and the world woo'd'-stand still. There are medical men who still cling to the‘‘bleed «ud blistei” theory there are some who pooh-pooth at the idea that Warner’s safe cure is a - specific for kidney disorders, eoiely because it is a proprietory remedy—they are backnumbered editions. The most intelligent of the profession, men dke Dr R.G, Gunn, iof the Medical College of New. York, do not litsitute to recommend it, and use it in their practice ; for, as Dr Gunn says in his published book, “the ingredients of 'the remedy are amoung the most valuable of Materia Medica He also declares that be knows the medicine is used by leading physicians, but they will not let their patients know they, employ M. Mr Hugh Fraser, director of Fraser’s Gold Mining. Co., Yi'garn, W.A., testifies as follows Penh, West. Australia, ; 3rd January. 1891.—Two or three yeaia ago, when subjected to the privan’one rof a mining prospector, I was taken ill, ;pains invaded oil parts of my body, %nd kidney disease, with fever aud ague, set ip. I was also seized with cramps and shivering fits, and ray sufferings became so chat I thought I would sink under my ,afflictions, and .1 fully ; balieve I would , have done so, but for Waraer’s safe cure, which promptly relieved (be most distressing symptoms, I took in all 8 bottles of the medicine and 1 can vouch that i though its agency 1 recovered, and now 1 1 feel a pew man, mentally and physically,
