CHRISTIANITY .AND SOL TALISM.
[CONTINUED !KIUM OCR L.t,T.]
Little fruitful as the ctL rt• of political
econmuts have been in establishing • true
social order, and discordant as their views
have been, there are a few principles tbat
appear now to have the sanction of the
leading thinkers of every school.
First, it is allowed that all international
warfare is a mutual injury, and teat all ag-
gressions by one nation upon the rights of
another is virtually an assault upon its own
customers or market,—an attack upon its
own interests. There is something very
cheering in the peace doctrines that are now
so extensively taught. The ideas once
deemed so visionary, when enunciated by
St. Pierre, have been taught In almost eve-
ry portion of Europe from the pages of Say,
and have found no champion more able than
our own countryman, Carey.
Sesondly, •the condition of the laborer is
now anxiously considered, and methods are
sought by which he may be made to share
more abundantly in the distribution of the
wealth to the production of which he is so
essential. Mr. Mull regards tho future of
the laborer as the great question of social
science, and reviews with much wisdom and
humanity the means pointed out for eleva-
ting the laborer's condition. If he had spoken
his mind fully, we doubt not that he would
have taken the right ground as to thelaw■
of entail and primogentture, and condemned
a system that tends to exaggerate the evils
of monopoly and limit the salutary diatribe -
lion of wealth. The •pint that animates
his " Political Economy " is far more gene-
rous than that which breathes through the
pages of the "Christian Polity " of Chal-
mers. The Scotch theologian is right in
regarding the religious education of the
people as the chief ground of their welfare,
but ba too much disposition to make lugbt
of the tremendous, tojusuce of Ikutisb legis-
lation.
The third principle acquiesced in by most
polleeal economists urges the removal of all
restrictions upon industry, hopes more
from opening free paths to individual enter-
pnse than from attempting to adjust the
interests of labor by legtalative control, asd
looks with chief oos6deees to the general
culture of the people a the meas. of their
social elevation. The Leiser: /sire doc-
trine, the Imt•alone policy, mon end more
prevails. No great none in political econ-
omy advocates the opposite course, except
as • temporary expedient. Mr. Mill would
isms pauperism (removed at mice by colon,•
Deane sed other nt.an., yet b• trusts to the
i08uence of education, and not to industrial
lime, to keep the • ail from returning.—

We turn now to another quarter, which
presents claims to our regard far more em-
bltimes. We will glance at the doctrines
of the S.ecuJtats. We use the term in no
offensive sense, but ui its philosophical
meaning, as it is glow used in Europe. It
designates those who into to reform society
by a new social science, and cduprehends
the must venous cl , from the wildest
communist to the must careful and scientif-
ic philosopher. It takes to Owen and Louis
Blanc, St. Simon and Fourier, and certainly
then not exclude thinkers Tike !/111 and Lo
marline. We will speak, however, of the
only &chord of Socialism that datum cdrn-
pleteness,—the school of urns - whom Blas-
qut clan as the third of that trio of Utopian
economists, Owen, St. Sinton, and Fourier.
01 the communism of Owen nothing need
be said, am It !has reduced itself to an absur-
dity, and the common sense of mankind can
never favor a doctrine that robs men of mo-
tive and society of wealth, by impairing the
inducement to -labor in destroying the coo
section between industry and reward. $t.
Simoniautnn has vanished In vap;rr. Be-
ginning to attempt, at industrial reform, it
lostelf in theological mysticism and
svpersublitluted sen.Balism. The uoly el-
ement that it possessed of any permanent

according to then work. it did not adv. -
este community ul property, although at
sought to abolish the right of inhentaace
and leaned to another kind of communities
even more objectionable. it aimed at a
fraternal order, whilst at strove to erect a
despotic hierarchy over labor and lute.•
Fourier professed to have discovered the
true social wiener-, and his followers urge
the claims of bis system with a positive-
ness and confieence that have no parallel to
history except in the ranks of that Church
which is deemed by in members infallible.
We do not propose to enter into a renew
or criecium of his doctrine., as -they have in
so many ways been of late brought before
the public. The scheme surely is very 110 -
posing, and in tits pretensions unites a cer-
tain Oriental magnificence with the exact
forms bf European thought ; as if the spirit
of Vyasa ur Manes hid entered the mind of
Laplace or Babbage, and dreamed their mys-
tical dreams in the formulas of mathematics,
NM is e11 the strange utnsgery furnished by
the isdestrisl and acienttee wonder, of the
nineteenth century.
With the generic principle of the system
of Fourier we have no quarrel. Association

Tim keeping up of appearances is • dio-
cese not peculiar to one individual or one

keep up appearances. It is the means by
which every body deceives every body, and
more curfuus still, constantly deceives him -
eel f.
When any unfortunate individual fain in
the attempt to keep up appearances, a!l the
reel of the world flies at him and tears hint
peacuureal. Ito is dragged before judges
appointed fur the purpose, in a court'solely
appropriated to try such fools; and there
placed in confinement, that he may not have
the opportunity of again disgracing the
world by failing in hu attempt to keep up

detractors all the while trembling on the
verge of the same destructive fall : yet limy
smile on, as if the greatest 'tato of security,

The world is always straunurg and over-
reaching itself, in all its grades, to be in the
one above it. Every one wishes to be
thought something more than he or see
really is. Thus you see the maid of all
work, or family drudge, hunger for bar
holiday ; and when it arrives, fag herself to
death by wandering through the etreets in
her best things—many degrees too fine—
with a veil and boa which she must put in
her pocket before see returns house: uwtely
fur the fleeting vanity of being taken for
somebody who did not know the shape of a
atop or • scrubbing brush.
Many a man who is obliged to keep up
appearances by dressing well—which is a
very expensive part of the delusion—meet

The cheap locality in which this kind of

gnenco to him. His cautious manauvres
to get out of it, from his nervous apprehen-
sion of being sero by the world that really
cares nothing about him, are amusing and
droll. Ile pops out suddenly with a hurried
glance around, to see that the coast is clear;
the door is slammed to with a nervous

Bet before emerging from the end of the
street into the word, he looks up at the

he starts out upon the broad pavement, de-
fying the world to say or believe that he

judicious counsels prevailed, and Christians,
as they Increased in numbers, shunned the
dangers of communism by relieving the
wants of the needy through contnbutionu
that wore based upon the idea of the right
of Individual property, under a sense of rest

Hardly a more interesting book could be
written than one upon the political and ue•
tial economy of Christianity, a shown to
the history of the Christian Church In its
various communions. It would nut fail to
prove that the religion of the Bible elevates
Its recewvers both to social welfare and in
spiritual life, and that their temporal as well
as spiritual prosperity becomes a blessing
to others as well as to themselves. Dr.
Chalmere deserves great credit for the pow-
er with which he urges the necessity of
Chnstsnity to a people in order to elevate
them. • He paints with a masterly hand the
influence which a Christian purpuae at once
exerts upon a household and upon a com-
munity.
Ifow can it be otherwise? A man'' wet
fare dopende ter more upon his purpose►
than upon any of the accidents of fortune.
Character controls the outward lot mere•
than the outward lot controls character.—
What can act more beneficially upon char.
actor than a cordial recognition of the Goll
of the New Testament, and of the obliga•
tions and privileges of that heavenly king-
dom -revealed with Di►u,e authority by out
Saviour ? Wherever Christianity is sin-
corely welcomed, a radical change taker
place in the life of the individual and the
hebils of the cothmunity. The plainest
Chnstan virtues, such as chastity, imbrue
tv, frugality, peace, have more to do wile
promoting the true prosperity ofa family or
town than any specifics of prrhucians or
tbeor es of socialists. Where th se vermes
fail, the fertility of Eden would become a
curse. Where these exist, Um lingenial
