Th wind -was still despairingly TTtiin2 vita the tk'ee-tops. but the far receding voices seemed be growiner fainter in the distance, on til, as be passed oo, they too teemed to ra?s a war forever. 3Ionday tnoroicp bad cone ar&in, and the Caaater was a his desk in the school-house early, with a still amp aod inky copr of tha Star fresh froar. the prees before him. The free breath of the pices was blowinz in the window. nd briuein? to his ears tho distant voiees of his slowly Catherine flock, as he read as follows: The pentrator of the dastardly outra?e'at the Indiao Sprinc Academy on Thursday last -which, throuzh unfortunate misrepresentation of the fact, led to a premature calling out of several of our most public srdrited citizens, and culrnin&tjd in a most regrettable encounter between 31 r. Mcrunstrr and the accomplished and st!mab'ie principal of the school has, we regret to say, eseaoed condipn punishment by leaving the country with his relations. If, M is serioaslr whispered, he was also guilty of an unparalleled offense araicst a chivalrous code which will exclude him in the future from ever seeking redress at the court of honour, our citizens will be only or elad to eet rid of the contamination of being eb'iiged to arrest him. Those of our readers Wno know the hich character of the two gentle?.3en who were thus forced into a hostile tneetwill sot be surprised to know that the most Ample apologies were tendered on both, sides, mnd that tbe entente cordiale has teca . thor--onghly restored.

Smiling albeit not uncomplacently at tbis "valuable contribution to history from an unfettered press, his eye fell upon tho next paragraph, perhaps not so complacently: 'Benjamin Daobigny, Esq., who left town for Eaeramento on important business, not entirely tmeonnacted with his new interest in Indian Spnne., will, it is rumored, be shortly joined by his wife, who has been enabled by his reeent srood fortune to leave her old home in the States, and take her proper proud position at his side. Although personally unknown, to Indian Springs, Mrs. D&nbizny is spoken of as a beautiful and singularly accomplished woman, and it is to be re erst ted that her husband's interests will compel them to abandon Indian Springs for Sacramento as a future residence. Mr. Daublecy was accompanied by his private secretary Rupert, the eldest son of H. G. Filgea. Esq., who lias been a promising graduate of tbe Indian Soring Academy, and offers a bright example to the youth of this district We are happy to learn that his younger brother is recovering rapidly from a slight accident received last week through the incautious handling of fire arms." The master, with his eyes upon the paper, remained so long plunged in a reverie that the school-room was quite filled, and his little floek waa wooderingly regarding him before be recalled himself. He was hurriedly reaching his liaad toward tho bell when he was attracted by the risiog figuro of Octavia Dean. "Please, sir, you didn't ask if we had any Sews!" 'True I forgot," said the master, saiiliag. 'Well, have you anything to tell usf "Yes, sir. Cressy McKinstry has left school." "Indeed!" Yes, sir; she's married." "Married," repeated the master with an effort, et conscious of the eyes concentrated upon his colorless faee. "Married and to wboml" "To Joe Masters, sir, at tbe Baptist Chapel at Big bluff, Sunday, an' Marm McKinstry was thar with her." There was a momentary and breathless "pause. Then tho voices of his little pupils "those sage and sweet truants from tradition, those gentle but relentless historians of the future rose around him in shrill chorus: "Why, we knowed it all along, sir!" THE END.

FASHIONS VAGARIES. Nsw York Evening Post. Toenewciffs styled "Cromwellian" are very "becoming to slender-armed women. They are fashioned after tbe manner affected by the Puritans. Any books containing illustrations of the Lord Protector and his followers will con "vey an idea of the model. Not only are these -cuffs seen on full-length sleeves, but on dressy lea-gowns a corresponding style is adopted for sleeves which terminate at tbe elbow. The equisitely sheer mnslin cravat, lace-edged, "which was also a feature of masculine dress After the Restoration, is also worn. The ends, however, are not elongated as they were at that period, butiare hardly longer than the "bows. Both bows and ends are a quarter of a yard wide. Tinted craps is used very often in .stead of clear white in the making of these eraTata, which are worn under tho chin with the -Directoire style of dress. Some of tbe new laxnrions "art"' dresses made in emulation of tbe rich flowing costumes wora . by East Indian princesses, are of the soft Thibet wools and Bengaline silks, with narrow-pleated fronts of crepe de chine, which open and close in shimmering undulations with every movetuent of the wearer. At tbe foot is a borderice of silk, cold and silver, in rare Indian devices. A gown of cream-white Thibet "with a loose Uoune waist and flowing front of Tale gold China silk, bordered with embroidery in Persian colors, is charming; and so, also, is another of siver crepe de chine, with along rflowing rediogote front and angel sleeves. A Lai la Rookh vest, draped from each shoulder -under this gown, crosses over the chest, with a scarf girdle of wrinkled white crepe flecked with ailver. , Great latitude is given this season to the coraee.

The sleeves are varied to match these different styles, but a certain variety of skirt can bo worn with a score ci different corsages.

Isaiah's prophecy Isaiah zl, 1-8 The authorship of tbis gospel has been almost uniformly assigned to the John Mark of Acts xii, 12, son of one Mary of Jerusalem, and cousin to Barnabas (Cob iv, 10). Of time and plaee of writing nothing definite is known. There are indications in the text which point to its having been written before the destruction of Jerusalem (A. D. 70. See chap, xiii), and the early writers on the subject in general assume it to have been written at Kome. Nearly all critics agree that Mark drew the great mass of his materials from the oral . discourses of Peter. This opinion finds snbstantial favor from the manifest evidences of Peter's influence upon the style, and certain minutiae of detail which could have been given by no other (e. g., the almost painful par ticularity of Peters denial, chap, xiv, 60 ff.) Marks evident purpose in writing was to fur nish to gentile readers a brief, vivid aecount of our Lord's ministry and sacrifice. The distin guishing characteristics of this gospel are vivid ness and compression. The record opens with the preaching of John the Baptist, which took place in the wild desert eountry south of the Jordan valley, in the snmmer of A. D. 26; the baptism of Jesus took place about six months later. . WHAT THE LESSON TEACHES. All true interest in tbe life of Christ is thorough. It "begins at the beginning." It does not fall in fragments or content itself with piecemeal impressions. It Is biographical and attentive to detail. The respect due to the subject involres care and study. It is not enough to trust to a few emotional e fleets or poetic sidelights. Begin the life of Christ . with tho prophets and John tbe Baptist Consider it as a whole or only leave It at tbe ascension. j)lark starts out with the bold announcement that Jesus Christ is the Sen of God. He makes oo half-way work of his doctrine. The basis of occeiiful cTangelizatioo is courage in lUtetnents of Christ a relation to the system of truth. Any cowardice here is like building a temple on a cracked corner-stone. One may not, like Samson, seem to bring tbe edifice of his work down on his own head, it is all tho same his own act: the downfall is as sure as the flaw. John dashed at the heart of truth with the ardor of a pioneer. He told men at the start that they were sinners as comfortably as most of us find it natural to say, "You are look ing well to-day; what can I do for yoursoulr Too much of our Christian work is like that of a tradesman taking orders. We adapt curselves too much to the whim or the reluctance with which we deal. Tbe robustness of the apostolio preaching is a tonio to take. No water medicine about it. It was stiff, sturdy and fearless. The asceticism of John is a severe and solemn lesson. The luxurious preacher, the comfort able expounder of Christ s hard life, needs the example it may do him good. The overworked, over-worried, half-starved brother may find comfort in John's experience and seeds it. The humility of John was magnificent. He had not a thought of himself or for himself. His personality was blotted from bis own interest, apparently from his own consciousness. It was a perfect solution. He was melted into the di vine personality which it was his mission to plead. But the humility of the apostle was surpassed by tbe humility of the Master. Christ came like any obscure J udean to be baptized by his disciples. The greatest natures are always the most modest.

A church for deaf mutes has just been conse crated at Philadelphia. It is tbe only one of the kind in America, and the only one in the world entirely managed by the deaf.

A new sect has been formed at Monaco, called the "Brotherhood of the Sons ot God." It re sembles in some features tbe Kssenes, its mem bers abstaining from tobacco, flesh, intoxicants, and favoring an ascetic life. Its symbol is "333;" its badge a gold, green and purple rib bon; its missionary language Yolapuk! The venerable New Yor k Observer has aban doned the exset subdivision into religions and eecnlar departments which it has maintained; for sixty-six years, and readers who have been in tbe babit of carefully cutting the two parts asunder aod reserving the religious departmeot for Sunday peretuil will have to discriminate for themselves hereafter. The Episcopalians are planning the establish-1 ment of a church hall aa an annex to Howard ' Unirersity at Washington, their purpose being in thia way to provide for the theological train ing or young colored men to labor among tnair own people in tbe South. The Churchman gives tbis plan its warm indorsement, and it has tbe approval of the commission for church work among the colored people. It is announced as tbe result of Rev. Dr. Ly man Abbott's first year in Mr. Beecher s field that terenty-nine additional members have been placed upon tbe roll during the year; the total removals, including deaths, were eighty-three, leaving a net decrease of membership of four. This makes a showing on the present roli of 2,532 The total collections during the year have amounted to $41,937.06. The one thing for every believer in the Bible, as the word of God, to do, is to ascertain its meaning by a just interpretation of its lan-. guage, and then to think and act as the Bible requires him to think and act This is tbe beginning and end of the whole matter, and, in deed, the only course that is consistent with true faitb. Every other course is a virtual denial of such faith. New York Independsnt ' Gen. O. O. Howard has removed from San Francisco to New York, and taken up his resi dence on Governor's island, and assumed com-! mand or the Military .Division of the AtlanticGen. Howard is an active and fearless Christian as well as a brave and valiant soldier. During his residence in San Francisco he might he found in the church on tbe Sabbath and -at the prayer-meetings with exemplary regularity.' A remarkable instance showing how a person in advanced years may be able to retain tbe in terest of young people comes from Taunton, Mass. Mrs. Mary CL Patten, ninety-three years old. has bad charge of the infant class in a Methodist Sabbath school in that city during t! e past forty-eight years. She never misses a session of the school, and the children almost worship her. Here is a youthful heart and head despite the lapse of almost a century of years A vigorous Society of Christian Endeavor ex-. ists in connection with the Tower Hamlets Mis sion Sunday-school, of London, which is in the notorious Whitechioal neighborhood. Many visitors from America have attended their meet ings. From Umznmbl, South Africa, the mis sionaries report that most excellent work has been done by similar societies. In other mission stations of Natal, societies are being organized, and the pastors of English churches in South Africa are taking up the work. Bishop Watson, of East Carolina, tells of a rector in his diocese who serves four congrega tions, pays his own honse rent and maintains a family on $400. Referring to this exhibition of devotion, and others similar to it reported by tttsnop Watson, the Churchman ssys: "We can not withhold our tribute of admiration, at least from those eight men who serve eighteen con gregations of the chnreh, without complaint, on . an average daily wage we can hardly caiUt.j salary or eignty-eigbt cents and two mills.", . In his sermon a week ago Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. Naylor. of Washington, said of the dancing habit: "So powerful is its grip that on tbe 4th of March a great, godly man. the great est roan in tbe land, the leader of the people, an elder in tbe Presbyterian thurcb, a pore man whom I have'.known for twenty years, will either onend tbe Xsation or be will have to lend his presence to tbe inaugural ball, wbO he will see nothing more edifying than thousands of people In peacock costumes hopping around on tbe floor." At tbe recent bearing before the Senate committee on education and labor, when a delegation from the Americau Sabbath Union were pleading for a national Sundav-rest bilL the Rev. T. P. Stevenson, of Philadelphia, made the striking assertion that "there is one eminent personage in the Nation, tbe President of the United States, whose right to exemption from public service on the Lord's day is guarded by a fundamental law of tbe land." Being challenged for proor, he cited the constltutionl pro? islcn: "The President shall have ten days, Sundays ex cepted, for the consideration of bills." Rabbi Schanfarber, of Baltimore, on "Jesus of Nazareth:" "Jesus deserves our praises for his love for the poor, for lifting up so many who had fallen into the deepest pit. Jesus we praise for bis bitter invectives against the hypocrites. We consider him a great soul, a noble, earnest worker, in the cause of God, a man great, but only a man. think the world is better for his having lived in it, but know that the Messia nic time haa not yet eome and that we still await it. We hope for a time when one God and one humanity will be acknowledged by all, and until that time it ia our bouoden duty to proclaim to the world with the same fervor and accent as did onr fathers in ages past: 'Hear. . oh. Israel, the eternal is our God, the eternal is one!'" - tJUEEK ARTICLES OP FOOD. Countries Where Everything: Is Eaten, from a Serpent to a Caterpillar. Ueutletnan's Magazine. ' In South America tbo inhabitants eat everything, even serpents and lizards. Humboldt has there seen eren children drag enormous centipedes out of their holes and crunch them up. Poppies are choice food on the Missouri and Mississippi, and at Emerald! tbe tid-bit is a roasted monkey. The flesh of the larger animals is appreciated variously; in Arabia tbe horse. In India the elephant and in Efeypt tho camel. Tbe Chinese taste is for cats, dogs, rats and serpents, while bears' paws and birds' nests are dainties. But the pariahs ot Hindostan have still stronger stomachs, for they contend with the dogs, vultures and kites for putrid carrion. The nearest approach to this remarkable taste is afforded by the inhabitants of Cochin China, who prefer rotten ' eggs to fresh ones. At Terraoina a guest will be asked whether be prefers a land or a water eel. In the West Indiea a large caterpillar found on tbe palm tree is esteemed a luxury, while tbe edible nests of Jara swallows are so rich a dainty that tho iogredients of a dish will cost as much as 13. A curious taste prevails in many parts of the world for clay. According to Humboldt it is eaten in all the countries of the torrid zone, but the practice is also observed in the North, as hundreds of cart-loads of earth containing infusoria are said to be annually consumed by the country people in the most remote parts of Sweden, and in Finland a kind of earth is occasionally mixed with bread. This latter custom is more civilized than that observed by the women on the Magdalena river, who, wh'le shaping earthen vessels on the potters' wheel, put large lumps of clay in their mouths. Iu the same plaee it is often necessary to confine the children to prevent their running out to eat earth immediately after a fall of rain. Tbe O to mac tribe of eartheating Indians knead the earth a true potters' clay into balls of five or sixinehes in diameter, which they roast by a weak fire until tbe out side is hard. They remoisten them when tbey are required as food, and according to a monk who lived twelve years among them, one ot them would eat a pound and a quarter of tbis peouliar food in a day. Another Photographic "Wrinkle. . The tsge. The latest craze among tbe actresses is tbe hand and arm photograph. They spend co end of money posing their hands to have pictures taken of tbem. Almost always they hold something in the band that is to be pictured a wineglass, diamond ring just touched by two dainty fingers, a visiting card or a silver coin. Those who are proud of their arms hare them photographed, often tbe full bare arm and shoulder without a hint of clothing, or just the hint ot a short laee sleere, with a buxom arm issuing from it. Some non-professionals are beginning to share the craze.

I met her in the market, first; The old cacal-boat, tied in plaee, Pressed to the curb, and from its prow She reacbed her flowers, with airy grace. I see her now, as then she stood. In flowing sleeves and bodice blue. While underneath her petticoat There peeptd a little wooden shoe. Her mother gossiped with the crones O'er fruit and wares, and odds and ends, And ao I helped her sell her flowers, Till soon we were the best of friends. Thus it went on, by quick degress We grew acquainted more and more, Till sometimes, down the dark canals, I took her place beside the oar. At last, one golden afternoon, We stood together, hand in hand. And watched the sunset glory break Across the dikes, and flood the land. The breeze that swayed the poplar trees Brushed past her cheek a straying curl, Then eaugat tbe wind-mill's outstretched arms, And set the lazy sails awhirl. . Then in among the loaves it died. With whisperings of soft content. And all the world seemed full of peace, j As home beneath the stars we went. A year ago! Outside the same . Quaint houses lean above the street. And down beaide the shadowed bridge . I see the market women meet. I look in vain she !s not there . But even while I fondly muse, Adown the passage way I hear The click of little wooden shoes. . --Albion JIary Fellows. An the Years Go Uy.

Hear, dear, As the years go by. How tender is time, withal, How kind to the good and true. So gentle to me, withal. So gracious and sweet to you. This is what we see and hear, dear, As tbe years go by; Hear, dear. As the years go by. Time's finger marks wrinkles sre. Gray hairs its frost and decay. A young heart has kept vou far 1'rom age marks aud frost away. It is what we see and hear, dear, As the years go by; Hear, dear. As the years go by. Time from rour fsce stays sadness, Leaving the britrht sunahine in; Kisses your eyes in gladness. Leariog the sweet lovelight in; Oh. this do we see and hear, dear. As the years go by; Hear, dear. As the years go by. Sweet, let your birthdays corns and go; Put your hand and love in mine. You are young for loving so; I lire because I am thine. All this do we see and know, dear.
