What is a Pare Tnste.

Rev. Samuel Spear, speaking of the luxuries of taste, in the New York

Indejiendent,

thus compares person

al accomplishments with moral and spiritual eulture: Those who revel in the lino arts who live in them, and by them, and upon them, and for them who fill their parlors with the most beautiful pictures who are fascinated to rapture with melodious sounds with whom the first and the last question of life is simply one of taste—such persons are not of necessity the best sort of people. That which is

Their sweet toues may contrast most painfully with their sour and malignant tempers. One of the most charming esthetic beings, in the department of music that we have ever known was a drunkard, lie could sing like an angel, and when singing seem as devout as an angel yet he was seldom a sober man. One of the finest organists whom it has ever been our privilege to hear was an habitual liar.

We are writing in no spirit of cynical criticism. We grant that taste has its legitimate pleasures, and that these pleasures add largely to the •sum total of human happiness. We admit, too, that these pleasures are not necessarily inconsistent vril,h a pure morality. We further admit that the progress of society carries along with it the refinement, cultivation, and elevation of human taste. Ail this is undoubtedhr true. And yet, a.ter all, it should be kept in mind that tasto is largely a form of sensuality that it springs in part from our animal nature that it may be but a type of unmitigated selfishness and, hence, that when it rules the mind it is quite sure to do so to the damage of our spiritual interests. Human nature has higher principles than those oi taste. To it are as-' nigned vastly more important tasks than those which connect themselves with the pleasures of taste. Its proper work is more serious and earnest, and looks into a grander realm of things. The true position of taste is, therefore, one of subordination. tit be kept in its proper place, and, like everything else in the pi opt place, it is well.

JLhu prime question in life is rectitude so in every just and proportionate education of humanity the prime question is the production of a pure heart tinder the government of a Hound conscience. Good morals are more important than music. Spiritvtality toward God is better than '.he tinest picture that genius overdrew. Philanthropy has more weight in heaven, and should, have more on earth, than all the esthetic arts put together. The tilings felt, and done, and said in tho house of God are immeasurably more significant than all the fresco with which it may be beautified. Tho melody of the heart unto God is of more value than that of the lips. Let us then have first tho culture of the moral and spiritual man, and afterward those esthetic adornments and luxuries which enrich life without harming it. This i.-i the order of nature, and hence the order of God.

A Montana editor, describing a young lady from New York, says she is "all sorts of a lovely gill, sharp as a frosty morninir, full of tricks as a •leer, and as happy as a whole flock vf snow birds."

Only one man can be found in Now Castle Pa., who does not wish to be the first Mayor of that new oity, and tho other inhabitants call Mm insane.

in them may not at all correspond with the culture and rolinement of their purely esthetic nature. They may have very delicate fingers, very accurate eyes, and very appreciative ears. A pencil in their hands may fling beauty on everything it touches and so a musical instrument, obedi ent to their will, may captivate with its charms. They can sing so as to delight all ears. In these respects, and at these angles of observation, they may seem perfect angels, just ready for a seat in heaven. Yet one need not be surprised if, upon knowing them intimately, he should find them greatly wanting in the sterling elements of a sound ethical character. In many cases, at least, he will discover that they are not by any means the angels they seem to be but, rather, men—and not infrequently men of very defective morals. As to genuine sympathy with humanity, and benevolent effort to relieve his wants, their hearts may be as cold as icebergs. As to the Mod who made them, and the duties they owe to him, they may be as insensible as marble. Considered in relation to the authority of conscience, they may be the very vilest of transgressors.
