That we may see the whole meaning of the principle involved, we will let one o' the ere.it lights of ths iDllclel evolutionists exp am It Mr. Huxli'y, la an which he delivered In Belfast la 1874, cllocubed tun quest'on: Are arl- mals automatons?"

2E4. Ileiu we liava Che whole In a nutshell, the Infldcl theory and the Inflilel application ot It to the pm jtlcal affairs of life. Uuxl'Vs theory is tnat the brain secretes ai the llvei secretes bile and as and blnatloi physical machines, tlmir every act, their every tuous'ht and emotion, so far as, are capable of thought or emotion, originating In some physical cause, and governed by llxed laws, so that whatever the emotion or me aCT of the i nlmal may be, It can In each cabe do oulj II, does, and nothing else. An automaton may be made, for example, In the form of a bird, and lilted up with id sprit gs within, to Imitate me. Whs one level moves It turns Its head; when a ceilalu -wheel comes Into play, it flutters Its wlnpfc; when another acts it chu ps a little ong; but it 38 only 03 it Is moved, and Hie cluiaitter of ery action is Jlxed tne machinery Britain.

Are animals, then antomatoas i III every act ot the brute fixed by the biute nature and tne out- cli cum stances, so that can do only what It does, whether the ox quietly draws Uie csirt, or ivagely gores the driver Mr. Huxley aigues the question, in his -way, and reaches tlie conclusion; animals are oniy fuitornarons. And then he adds a statiment which has at least the merit of candor: (Jn- uoubiedly 1 do hoid that the-view have taken of fie relations betw een the physical and mental faculties ot brutes, applies In Us fullntsu und ent rety to man." And man also Is an autoumtoii, a mere machine circ'imbtauoeb; a sort o' hand- organ, set to cue nxed, inexoiabli tune, tvhich It grind as, the ciank turns, and whose every note, blgh or low, dirge or ditty, la lust what the pipes and pinions within wake It Henry W. Atkinson, another light ot evo ullon hit dels, reasoning on tills principle, reaches conclusions, which he sets forta tuns: I am what I am; a t-reatuie of necessity." I claim neither merit, nor demerit." I feel am as completely tun result ol my nature, and 1m- pe luci to do wual I do, HE, the ucaille to point to thii north, or the puppet to move as the litilag is pulled." "Iconnotaller my will, or tie other than what I am; and cau not deaei ve either reward or punishment." We begin now to see the meaning of the declaration: "There Is no such thing asi free wll." If the moilvo fixes the action and the circumstances determine tlie motive, then it follow that let a man's action be wliat it may, he ca not do otherwise, aty more than Me hand- 01 gan can play a tune to which sel, lie la as helpiess as a bubble floatlnj on the bosom ol the river, or a thistle-down boine on i he sum- is er wind. He may fancy, Indeed, that he oliooseshlsowucouise; but, eve nU and chcum- Bailees, coming down through tneagea long succession, dtfeimine what bis (holce uliull be.

lie seems to be tree; bnv, his Irsedom in that of trie bubble or the thlstle-dowii, a freedom to move only in one direction. This piinctple, false as It is, weaves Into Its web some tureads of truth, and therefore Is the iDore dangerous A counterfeit coin, which Is partly good sllvpr, will sometimes pans where one hlch la all lead woald be at once detected. Is true that we ieel the force of motii es; and l.hat circumstances, over whlca vs he.vi! no con- rol, press upon us, on this bfdt or that, to urge us from oar way. There are forces, and sometimes many and strong, which re-eal lift their pi-esence and their power, Nevertheless, man has tho power of choice, which Is a reality and not a sham and a cheat; he Is invested with a faculty of BelMlrectlon. He Is not as the bubble whirling along the snr- of the brooK, but rather as ie fish In the brook, feeling the force of tha stream, and yet able, at any moment, to tarn against It, mid overcome It.

He Is not as the this He-down, powerless and passive, puffed iltber id thither by every breeze that blows; but rathsr as eagle which feels the sllghtesl pressure of tlie air, and jet has power to fly In the very face ol the stoim. Here, then, Is direct antagonism, not in regard to mere words, or figures ol 1 etorlc, but principles wfcich involve all morality-, all lalw, human and dUine. If there Is no st.ch thlqg as free will;" If we are the mere machines thdt Huxley makes us, She miserable hiind-orguns which only grind out Ihe tunes to whKli we are severally set, then all human modes ol thinking, all modes of human speech, njjed revolution, It a man, at acy given moment can' do only the exact thlngl which ho Is doing, he elm not b(i lustly pralsii ov censured, rewarded 01! punished. The words right and wrong, virtue and conscience are for which tue humaii race hftB no ase, Because no such things exist. I feel, however, that IfI ertatfi tc trace the practical bearings ot the principle denies tue freedom of the will, I mat? be obliged with even perversion.

Le 1 an Infidel, therefore, give us the practical oatlona ol the infldel principle- WlUUni an fins'- publlanefl about eight; yeui ago Ideas, Just physical causes determine the quantity tmallty ol the bile, lust so physical causes determine Pie number and the nature of the Ideas which Uu main secrt-tes. Thus physical taws according to this theory, aws which act as unl formlj as the law of gravitation and with the same cai lalnty, determln every thought ot the human mind, every emotion ol the heart, every wordcf the lip, every purpose aud act or th whole life. All ihis follows Inevitably Irom thi principle which Huxley sets foi th In his automatic philosophy, and which Mr. Underwood wa merel' echoing when he nald, There Is no such thin" will." And it is noticeable, also, thatlwlluxley claims that certain great theologians, bt. Augusline.Jolm Calvin and Jon xthan themselves (ljuy free will, so Mr.

Underwood made the same claim and cited the same naoies. I i say, In astonishment, that this wild reasoning te.us up the reots of all law, human and ilivlne, all government, all our idtu3 of morally that 11 this reasoning be sound, no man, no matter what he nay do, Hi a tit subject of either icwartl 01 punishment, praise 01 cen. suie Cicdttin ind Atkinson boldly announce this contusion; and so will Huxley, when 1st has the ccuiage to iollow his logic to the end. speaM ig," says Godwin, thei' Is no suuh thing as debeU.

This Is the innane dremm, ttu hideous nightmare monstrosity tuey would haV' us put in the place of God's eternal truth. The; llrbt madly try to reason God out of his own ore atlon, und then to reason man Into the belie that h-s has no soul.

GODEFFltOY A VICIOUS CANINE BY A $50 DOd. Mr A. E. Godeffroy, proprietor ol Nev- ersinck Lodge, Quymard, in a dog iancier of considerable note. lie h.is on hia place many choice canines, forming what be has the Neveroinck Kennel.

This kennel is always represented at bench shows New York and other cuies, on several occasions prizes being awarded bis entries. A. neighbor of Mr. GodefToy's until recently was the owner of i vicious bull- This dog frequently isited the kennel' of Mr. Godeffroy, whet he would attack the dogs belonging tit the latter, in- vairiably leaving one of the valuable animals in a bad condition.

Not wishing to incur tha ill-will of his neighbor by shooting the oflending canine, Mr. Godeffroy finally conceived a novel way of removing the causa of the trouble. Mr Godeffroy went to New York aad purchased a thorough-bred bull-dog, paying for the same. Beturn ng to his place at Guyinard Mr. Godeffroy turned his new acquisition loose and awaited results.

A day or two after tbe neighbor's dog made tin uppeumnce at Neversinc-k Lodge with blood in its eye. HosUlmes were soon opened, but this time it Nets the new dog who took part. The fight is said to have ben a bitter one, resulting in the neighbor's dog being killed, lu.i entire throat being torn away.

BAE- KBTT'S MIOKOPUONB-- THE TRANSMITTER. The New York Sun suys some 30 or 30 friends of Mr. Thomas A. Edison and members of the press visited Menlo Park, New Jersey, Monday afternoon, eind wit- nesiid an exhibition of the new electrochemical telephone which he is about putting on the European market. It is c'aimed that the telephones ni piesentin use do not speak loudly enough or articulate distinctly enough for commercial adoption in Europe, owing to the electrical peculiarities of the old world, that Edison's new telephone answers tbe need.

The chief characteristic of it 'is that it dinpenses entirely with the magnet, which which is covered by the Bell arad Gray patents, and substitutes for it the carbon in the transmitter, and a revolving cylinder of moistened chalk in the receiver, bolh the invention of Edison. This telephone was exhibited Monday. It Hpeaks loud and strong, so that the mes- the neighbor Mr. GodLtEmj presented him with the $00 dog with tlie underrftandmg at it must be tied up and not allowed to Her his possession. All is tranquil at eversmck Lodge and its eurroundinge.

By a device added during the last week, 'the voice is wen magnified in passage, so that it is deHvered to the auditor louder than it was received by the instrument. It is also practicable through any distance that can be r-overed by other telephones. The chemical used to moisten the spool ot chalk is caustic noda, which is polarissed, and in this lies its magical power. The machine ia vocal only when the cylinder of chalk is turned on its little shaft by the petrson conversing, the electric current coming up through the pedestal on which it i.urna aad running out on a steel needle winch ruos upon the cylinder to a small mouthpiece two inches distant.

Thus what we call the soul, the the man that which yon cill yonrseU, has no more real permanence ttian the rainbow which paints its glories on the falling drops and fiidea Into nothing when the eloods are gone.
