THE LAW OF UNIVERSAL EXISTENCE,

According to the agency of surrounding inimical existences. The orthodox ides, there originally existed one man devoid of the slightest wish to benefit his primary principle; this was the principle of fellows, either by means of his geniality or works Intellect, generaly termed "God"-How-this--of-public or private benefit to those around him, Omnipotent Mind could exist by itself when mind, is unfitted to live. An unsympathetic person la except combined with malter, inconcel»ble, | dangerous to society at large, for it is only by has never yet been explained. It would surely our having a necessary trust and faith in cach not be rational to believe that mind (even were other that we can secure our present welfare or It possible to exist independent of material assist-improvement mental and physical in the succeed- axce) could cicate matter, out of space. The Ing generations, whose future existence depends absurdity of attempting to explain our origin and upon their belog mentally superior to precedlag that of all infinity by such a dogma is so obvious forefathers. Hence it will be seen that existence to only reflective person that further investigation will forever be en cercle. Into the science of first principles is not only desirable, but alsolutely necessary, Hence the following contribution towards unravelling the skein of the mystery of Nature.
There is an all-pervading and universal prin- ciple of existence, and this is the Principle of -Motion, which is self-existent and essential. Without some such activity as its fountain-head, existence could not be other than a universal wherum. This principle of motion has to express itself in some palpable form, and this it does through the sign of matter. It is, however, not uniformly operative throughout existence, being more active in some parts than in others. Uneven motion, however, constantly endeavours to become uniform; and in its efforts towards attaining that end its component and various factors
velocity produce that conscious form we term ilfe. Mind without matter is impos- sible. Matter is merely the sign of motion, and 'mind the sign of matter or motion, call it which you prefer. Certain combined factors of accele- ration appear to our eyes as minerals, animals, vegetables, fluids, or solids, &c., according to their specific proportions of velocitles. A principle must have some inherent want. Motion requires to attain a universal homogeneous equilibriums, and it is its uniformity striving to right itself which creates thate temporary phases of exist. ence which we describe as planets or life. What we call elements are merely different-proper tioned factors of velocity in the struggling Infinity of unuaform motion. Now the similar but separated factors of acceleration, chemical or mental, composing the entirety of uneven motion, seek to unite and their destre to do so is what we designate (in regard to that form of motion called matter) attraction and (in regard to that con- clous form of motion resulting in life) affinity, This they are unable to effect owing to their mutual inter-relationships whence results that endless panorama of permutations and com binations now comprising Infinite existence, The whole principle of motion being in & state of want, each of its component factors and particles must be almilarly circum. stanced, and hence an everlasting system of destruction, disintegration, and regeneration or renovation. The principle of motion is the essential energising and eternal principle of the universe. What are termed natural forces are essentially motional, for all things are formed, energised, and vitalised by motion. It is motion which is the real substance, the essential and enduring principle, gross matter being but sub- jective and merely a mode of mationary presenta tion to our bodily sense of sight. Through what is known as magnetism, motion in certain ratios of acceleration demonstrates itself as life. Life In all its forms is but the chance result of atomic vibrations. All human actions are- but the products of brain substance, vice and virtue belog its effects. Soul or intelligence is the multifarious phenomena of consciousness-this assemblage of states being describable as hope, fear, joy, sorrow, pleasure or pain--all which ere merely the phenomena of atomic vibration. The brain is the instrument of the principle of motion, and thought its function.
The question now arises-what should man's aim in life be under this system of universal want? To decide this it is first necessary to récall the manner wherein this and other planets are primarily formed. The laws of motion caused us first to become disintegrated from some such body as the sun. When a world like ours first settles down from an incandescent state into a more solid form, the decrease in veriperature and increased concentration of the

After death the chemical atoms (for visible powers of dissatisfied motion) of which we are. composed are carried away to icunporarily satialy other factors of the system of wants, ench material atom power of motion retaining its natural capability of joining with combinations and producing subsequent phones of moving existence. Regarding the theories of human aller-life. It is quite possible that a modified counterpart of the deceared may continue its individuality indefinites, but, of course, subject to the necessary laws of evolutionary alteration, A gaseous spiritual development of the individual may form one of the progressive features of the system of exelution, the grosser materials of the boy at death reverting to those to which they Bro nearest ailled and the finer attaching them selves (if not absolutely assimilating) to thost phases of nature of which man as yet has no knowledge. Our successors, however, by means of their increased knowledge may discover the elixir of life and rejuvenate themselves at will or possibly electrify the dead into life. The knowledge they will possess will enable them to avert or neutralise any such natural perils as invasion by foods, comets, increase or decrease of temperature, &c. They might be able to alter the orbit of nur planet or merge it into another if it should appear desir able. To obtala emelpotence and omniscience is the final gont of human desire, but the oh- talning of everlasting happiness means a merging into a universal vacuum. This can never be done, and this is the reason why the system universal wants, the principle of uneven, un- uniform mation, must be endless and ceaseless 10 all eternity. It has now been shown that vidue is more to man's interests than evil, that sympathy is indispensable to his progress and existence, and that isolation is fatal thereto, that everything in nature is per se selfish, but that our only legitimate form of selfishness is that which seeks its happiners in that of others as the means of satisfying its wants. As a religion this has at any rate the merit of logicality, whereas those of theological theorists are shrouded in clouds of Ulusive words and dubious morality.—Sydney Bulletin.

A NOTABLE PIRATE,
One of the most noted of the pirates was Edward Teach, commonly known as Blackbeard, A title be earned because of his extraordinarily long and black chin appendage. "He suffered it to grow to an extravagant length," we are told. "As to breadth, it came up to his eyes. He was accostomed to twist it with ribbons in small tails, after the manner of our Ramilies wigs, and turn them about his ears." In time of action he wore a sling over his shoulders with three brace of pistols, which hung in holsters like bandaliers; and stuck lighted matches under his hat, which, appearing on each side of his face, his eyes naturally looking fierce and will, made him altogether such a figure that, savs Johnson, "imagination cannot form an idea of a fory from hell to look more frightful." He was a Bristol man by birth, had been to sen all his life from an early age, and had sailed for some time out to Jamaica, in privateers during the war with the French, but had never been anything more than a foremastman-though distinguished for uncommon boldness and personal courage- youll he went a pirating in the year 1716. Captain Denjamin Hornigold put him in command of a stoop he had taken off Providence, and the two sailed together for the Spanish West Indies, taking on the way, a "billop" from Havana, a sloop from Bermula, and a large vessel bound from Maderia to South Carolina. After careening on the coast of Virginia, the two, with their prizes, went on to the West Indies and captured a large French Guinea-man, bound to Martinico, on board which Teach transferred bis flag, separated from Horngold-who returned to Pro vidence and surrendered to mercy pursuant to the Hing's proclamation-and hoisted the black flag find means of living under new circumstances

guard and surrendered to the King's proclama tion, his sole mative being to look about him, or, as Captain Johnson puts it, "to wait a favourable opportunity of playing his old game over again." Blackbeard was a beau-ideal pirate, possessed with a mania for getting married. During his first sojourn at North Carolina, his friend the Governor married him to his fifteenth wife, a young girl of sixteen, whom he treated most brutally. Unlike the French Bluebeard, how. ever, he did not, so far at least as our know- ledge goes; kill any of his wives. Blackbeard died fighting, as beseems na oldi sos-ṛuffian, and in his last encounter, against Lieutenant May. nard, did not finally drop until he had received live pistol shots, and twenty sabre cuts, about bis body.—Gentleman's Magazine.

The Chinesa smoke carly and often, and it is as good as a play to watch one of the nobles of China using tobacco. He prefers the water-pipe, and he has a servant who puts the pipe stem in his mouth, and waits till he has taken, half a dozen whiffe before he carries it away again. The smoke comes bubbling through the liquid, and, the almond eyes of the Celestial sparkle with enjoyment as the nicotine enters his blood. Li Hung Chang smokes in this way, and during the interview which I had with Lim at Tientale, his servant Navy. held a pipe with a stem at least four feet long to his lips, and lighted it for him at intervals of minutes. The great Viceroy took about ten whiffs at a time, and then the servant took the pipe away, pulled out its metal bowl, and re- filled it with tobacco, bringing it back a little later on to pallently hold it to his Excellency's lips while he smoked.

"The, baby smickets of the world are found in Slam and Burmah. I saw little tots of four, and naked as on the day they were born, trotting about Bangkok with cigarettes in their mouths, and the babies of Rangoon and Mandalay are taught to chew the betel nut, mixed with tobacco, as soon as they are weaned. The Siamese children, like their fathers, use their ears as cigarette and cigarholders and the lack of clothing or pockets on the part of the little ones necessitates their carrying these articles over their ears, as the American clerk carries his pencil or pen.
The ten thousand odd women who make up the harem of the Slamese King all smoke and chew, and it takes a good part of his Majesty's $10,000,000 a year to pay his tobacco bill. Each Indy has to have her betel spittoon, which is of decorated china the size of a coffee cup, and, if which to carry her tobacco and betel nut.

Some of the best tobacco in the world is found along the Mediterranean Sea, and a great part of the revenue of the Sultan and Khedive comes from tobacco. The weed is a monopoly in both Turkey and Egypt, and the Khedive, in order to collect a big import duty on tobacco, has prohibited its raising in the country by a tax of nearly 160 dollars an acre. The result is that American tobacco is now imported into. Egypt. It comes in the shape of tobacco for cigarettes, and it is sent first to France or England, and thesce shipped to Egypt. The Turkish tobaccos are very light and sweet, and they are popular all over Europe.
