LADY BYRON'S ANSWER.

lThe following poem, wbiih is a tiue copy of "Udy Byron' Answer" to Lord Bvron's "Fareweu to Wile," ha been exhumed from oblivion by tbe adherents i the lady; therefore, as a cariosity, it is now reproduced:! Ye! farewell farewell forerer. Tl.oa thyself bast fixed our doom. hade bepe'a fairest blossoms wither, Ne'er attain for ine to biOOra. Vn forgiving thou bast called me; lxlj-t thou ever say. Forgive.' For trie wretch whose wiles beguiled thee. Tt.cn alone didst teem to live. Khort the rr-ae which time had civen to compete thy love' de-ay ; Pt untaiiowed pasion driven, o;n thy heart whs auht to stray. Lived lt me thai feel.nz tender Which thy verse to well can show. From my arms why didst tou wander? My endearments why forego? O? too late thy breat was bared; O ! too oon to me 'twas shown That tby Jove I once but shared. And already it is t'own Wrapt in dieams of ky abiding. On tby breast my head r.ath lain In thy ioveand truth confiding Eiiss I ne'er can know aain. That dark honr did firt divover la tby soul tbe hideous stain. Would these eyes had closed forever, Ne'er to weep thy crime aaiu ! tut the impious wish, O Heaven, From ihy records blotted be: Ye. I yet would live, O Byron! For the babe I've borne for thee. Id whose lovely features, tell me, All ray weakness here confess. Whilst the struggling tears permit me. All the leatures I can trace He te image never leaves me. He whose linage still I ttrize. Who. me bitterest feeling gives me still to love where 1 despise, W ith rejret, and sorrow rather. When o.r hild's first aefcnts flow, I will teach her to fay. Father. Put nis guilt she ne'er shall know, Whilst to- morrow and to morrow. Wakes ice from a widowed bed, tn another's arm my orrow Whl tboi feel, no tear wilt shed. I the world's approval sought not Writ u I tore myself from tbee. Of it1 praie or blame 1 thought not What's its praise or blame to me? lie o pr.zed, so loved, adored, From his heart my image drove; On my head contempt has poured, A J referred a wanton's love.Thou art proud. but mars me, Eyron, I've a heart proud as thine own. Soil to love, but hard as iron When contempt is on iis throne; But, farewell! I'll not upbraid thee, Never. ieer. wish thee ill; Wrvtehed tho' thy crimes have made me, Jf thou anst, fce happy still. A (.BEAT TEMPTATION. Alice Amden w as not a woman one would select for a heroine because of her personality. Übe was neither lare nor small; she was beautiful, I think (beauty is a hard thing to define and limit!, but it was a heauty of no wonderful or unusual type, and was of that kind which grows on one gradually, as Lis knowledge of the jssessor of it grows. There was a wealth of sweetness and purity shining rp in her eves which tears could never wash out; and the nioath indicated firmness and resolution, which had its beginning leng before the night's vigil which tad left it so sternly agonized. The trouble which lias come to Alice Arnlea is of no unusual kind. One may say, "only a lover's ijiiarrel," but one should remember that there are heart tragedies in this "World, under the torture of which men and women drag out long lives without finding peace. To Alice Arnden it seemed as though everything worth having in life was now forever utterly beyond her hope. hhe arose frwn the s at she had occupied for so long and moved slowly around her liuinb room. She had not known until hbe moved how nmch he va suffering j.hysicaJly ; how cold it was; how cram pel and weary she was. l-Le made a tire, and into the tire she remorselessly put all the fragments of the palmer which she had spoiled in her eliorts to write a simple letter, long ago when her sorsow was new. Long ago? Last night! Happiness gives wings of lightness to eternity (lying about her being and so called times rather than eternity), which we roughly measure, and call minutes and secon !; but sorrow weights their noiseless feet with lead. lr. George Fen by was next among the actors in this little fragment of human life. lie had sat at his window that morning as Alice Arden had sat at hers. His window looked in the same direction. From it he taw much the same scene she saw. The stars faded out for him as for her; day brightened; the sunlicbt fell across his face. George Fenby thought of what he had to be thankful lor this lovely momins. A email fortune, enough for himself and one other, a fair woman and good as fair for his promised wife; health, education, friend?, influence, position; it was, indeed, a goodiy prospect. There was a happy smile on his face as he heard Lis little brother knock at the door, and he answered, "Come in" in a cherry voice. "Here's a letter for you, George." "Thank you." said "George, as he took it. "You are welcome. E? the handwriting on tbe envelope I judge the message will be a pleasant one." And the toy left the room. A pita-ant message! The smile deepened on the man's lace as he lovingly handled the letter a little tinre before he broke the seal. A pleasant message! These were the words be read: Mr. G'EORtiE FobY I will not consent to be any longer a hinderer regarding your Lieber ambition. 1 never wUh to speak with you a.ain in all my life. I give you back yourlreedom. Alice Arxdkx, So Mr. Kenby's morning gift was the gift of Iiis freedom. What should he do 'with it? J I is cheeks and lips grew cold and white ar. the thought. Merciful heaven! What could Le do with it? The cKy seemed darkening; the earth weiued dreary and desolate. George Fenby and Alice Arnden, a bare quarter of a mile spart, could not have been more widely sej arated had an ocean rolled between them. And each looked on the same landscape and saw it alike at last. It was a relief to both George and Alice that there was service in the little (Church that morning, and everybody would be looked for there. Secret sorrew finds a certain abatement of its intensity in the effort f appearing unconcerned. Then there is a mournful pleasure in seeing what one has lost. Ina place no larcer than Marsham every one knows everybody else. Every one knows the business of every body in some degree, or thinks so, or savs so. bo our two friends were known, and their relations Vj each other were also known. Ando poorly had they played their parts that when service was finished nearly all their friends bad concluded that their engagement was over, and jr.any were speculating as to the reason for it Ralph Worden was too shrewd a man not to see what every one else saw. He said but little about it, as be spoke to one and another, after Chim b. but he was deeply interested ai.d very mneh pttzzled. Tbe time had been when the gossips had connected his name with that of Alice Arnden, and there were thce who had shaken their beads when it became evident that she had been won by Georee Fenby, instead of Ilalph. Kalph had never spoken to Alice of love, and we will respect his reserve. What he cared for her may remain a sealed book. George Fenby walked home aione. Kalph Warden came tb same road, bat a quarter of a mile behind. .Sjrue distance out of the village Kalph suddenly came upon two papers, by the ii of the road. They had most likely hen pnlled from the pocket of th owner in removing L.;, pocktt handkerchief. The

smaller paier had blown r-art, it lay upon the ether and it contents were SO brief that Jialbb had read it before be bad taken it into Lis hand, and before he was aware of what he was doing. We Lave seen tbe tyaper before. It was the brief letter in which Alice Arnden had dismissed George Fenby. Kalph Warden stood for a long time with tbe letter in bis band. "I've read it once, it can do no harm to read it again," lie iaid. And he read it again not once merely.but a dozen times. It seemed as if be was trying to draw something from ths bit of paper which he did not lind there. After a time he stoojed ami picked up the other paper n lout;, folded document; but the action was merely a mechanical One. He did not open it to see what it was; but, with his head bent forward on his breast, ami with a very grave face, be went on his way. He walked more slowlv than before. He sometime stopped and talked to himself from time to time. He read Alice Arden's letter again. Then for the first time he looked at the other. He turned it over and saw at once what it was a tleed from llertram Kingley, conveying certain lands and buildings to" George Fenby. Suddenly be stood still, and .i hot, tierce flash crept into his face. "1 wonder if it is true that hearts are ever 'caught in tie rebound,' as they sometimes say they are? I will--' And he clenched Iiis hands and hurried on bis way. He did not stop until be reached bis home, where his mother and sister were waiting for him. nor did bethink his thoughts aloud any more. With a few words of greeting and a few more of excuse, he put his mother and sister aside for the present, and went up to Iiis room. Kalph Warden drew a long breath, and the light faded slowly out of his face. Ina single moment he had seen the whole secret of the misunderstanding. Down went Iiis head upon his hands on the table, the winter sunshine shone that day tin no nobler head and from his lips came those words of which frail humanity has deepest need, "Lead us not into temptation." He thought it all out. Hcrtram Kingsley ovned the finest place in all Marsham, or had until the deed was made which conveyed it to George Fenby. Kstella Kingsley, the daughter of Ilertram, was a Ix-auty and somewhat of a flirt. More than one lady of Marliam had quarrelled with her lover on Kstella Kiugsley's account. And lastnirht there had been a little gathering of the young people in the church, and circumstances had done their worst seemingly. In the first place George FtTiby came with Kstella Kingsley ;the meet ing was not of a character to make it unkind for him to leave bis promised wife to come with her father, as she had, but his coming with Miss Kingsley had been noticed by several. Witli the deed before him, Kalph Warden bad no difficulty in deciding why George had been at Mr. Kingsley's, and consequently why he had come as he had. ' Kalph was well acquainted with.'a young man living where the Kingsleys had formerly resided, and through him he knew of the engapement of Miss Kingley to a gentleman living there He had known this for a long time; ami knowning this had thought 01 events whieh might otherwise have deeply alTectcd him. Last night, for instance, a laughing group of gentleman had spoken of Miss Kinssley Unc had said: "Hie is a beauty and an heiress. Whoever wins her will have a beautiful home. The Kingsley estate is the finest one in Marsham." "Its my highest ambition to be the master of that estate," laughed George, "and I have made an offer which I think will be accepted. I am to have an answer to-night. If I succeed I .hall be supremely happy. If not why, I will do as other men have done failing of what I want, 1 will take what I can get. ' Kaijh could not remember where Alice Arnden had been when those innocent words had been spoken. That the had been near enough to hear them was evinced by her letter, which was before him. So he sat there, and pitied Alice Arnden for the faith in which she had lost, as well as for the man himself who had been put from her. Kalph raised his head. The time had not been long since he sat down to think. But, he knew it all. Two proud and obstinate young creatures had been parted by fate. And he mutterod with white, compressed lips, "I alone understand it all. 1 alone, of all the world, can set it right. What a temptation !" We will rot seek to follow his thoughts. What a man does should be the basis of our judgment, not what he would do. If he thought of the curative effect of time on suffering hearts, we can forgive him; if a possible future, in which a happy home of his ow n was the central figure, rose up to meet i.im, we can do no less than pity him. The band of sunshine rested on his head I ke a golden crown. His face was almost glorified as he raised it to the light again. And surely .the angels made a record of a second gift that day coming to the lot of those whose lives fall for a little time within tbe line of our story, when he said aloud: "1 will do right. Alice Arnden shall have her lover back again." Evening service at the little Church was over. Kaljh Warden stood on the steps as the congregation came out. He looked ryIf it be true that "'coming events cast their shadows before," and that "virtue is its own reward," he was happy. He spoke cheerfully to this one and that when they passed. He did not look like a, conspirator. One would not have dreamed that be had made a plan which, for audacity, would find few rivals, while for simplicity it might lind fewer. "It's better to have it over as soon as possible," he said to himself; better for them and for me.'' Alice Arnden was parsing him. lie leaned forward. "Will yon come for a little drive with me. Miss Arnden? The night is i-erfect, and you look as if fresh air would do you good." She accepted at once, hoping as she did so that George Fenby would see her. He was not there tofseo.however.and Kalph had taken good care to know that. He was already half way home. lint Miss Arnden was in no mood to refuse. She was in reckless temper, and Kalph Warden had accounted on that. One desirous of widening the breach between Alice and ieorgewould bave found it an easy task to make a beginning that night. Kalph Warden's lips moved slowly as he seated himself beside Alice, but we will not try todetermine what be said to himself in that crisis in more lives than one. "I admire yourcloak and hat," exclaimed Kalnh, "though the saying may be as much a compliment to my sister's as to your own taste. Hersare like them are they not?"

"Very nearly: not quite, Uut I didn't know vou ever noticed what your lady friends wear.' "I don't verv often. I did to-aay, "Would the masculine eye detect the ditt'erencesr "I think not. Kut it is a pity to talk of dress en such a night as this. What a strong and helpful sermon we had this even ing." "Yes," said Kalph. They made a turn in the road, and there was George himself onlv a few yards ahead. Alice put down her veil at once. Surely fate was on the side of Kalph Warden's plans that Right, Get in, George. 1 won't take a refusal." "Who s with you? our sister?" I es, saiu i.a Dii, wiin a prompness which should be admired and pardoned. "Sit on tins sule," said Kalph, as George got in. l will sit between you. Ihe night is beau tiful, isn't it."' "Very beautiful '' "Very beautiful," said George, who really uau not thought out before. "You needn't go home at once. I will turn here, and we will drive over toward the shore." He had turn his horse down the road leading in that direction lefore either of his companions rould eay a weru. The two lovers were gazing on tbe

wene they bad looked, upon the morning. The lnoOnJigb- may have softened the harshness of it a little, but the man between thesn beard a sob from the woman at his left, and saw the moonlisrht sparkle suspiciously on the right. And he thought grimly of Jiituself as the iiuae of fate fate, with the destiny of two human beings in his hand. "1 found a paper of yours this morning," said Ilalph. slowly, "and here it is I could hardly help seeing what it was. 1 i-onRratu-late you on your bargain. You have boauht the finest estate about here, George. It is re markably eheap at the price. I believe the deed was signed las: evening." "Yes." "Mr. Kingsley had not fully decided to tell it uutif then, bad he?"' "Not fully, lie told me his daughter might decide to want it herself when she is married. Mr. Kingsley will, of course, give her a handsome resilience somewhere, when that event takes place, for Mr. Jones, who is to marry her, has no fortune of his own." "It has been your highest ambition to own that estate, hasn't it?" Certainly. I wanted the finest place here." "You ought to be supremely happy. You said last night that you would be when you owned tbe place." "Yes." The answer was short. Kalph could feel the strong man on his right tremble in spite of his efforts to control himself, and he knew that the woman on his left was crying softly. "You said something last night about your ambition to be master of that estate. Do you remember what it was?" "Yes, 1 think 1 do. Something lastful, was it not?" George Fenby was beginning to understand dimly why he had received the letter he had.

"Worse than that. Did you ever think that one overhearing it might think you meant to marry Miss Kingsley ?' ".Never until now. On, what have 1 done?" "No matter. Did vou ever intend to marry her? Not a word of objection. You've been led into answering too much already to stop now I demand an answer, George. Did you?" The eyes of the two men met. In Kalph's there was a determination to know, and perhaps something more. In George Fenby 's there was surprise, which changed to satisfaction and indignation, which gradually faded out. "Never, on my honor," he answered. Kalph Warden stopped the horse. They had driven far to the south, and had nowturned back toward the village again. In front of them was the level sweep of frozen marsh, but further on was the jieaceful village with its lighted windows and with its range of sheltering, wooded bills behind it. On the right was the sea, calm and bright. He stepped into the road and placed the reins in George Fenby's unresisting hands. Lnng fhe horse borne when it isall right,' he said, "but take all the time you wish. Here is another paier of yours which I found this morning'. Ke thankful to-night that so meddlesome a man found it. Alice Arnden and George Fenby, I give you back your future and my blessing." He spoke to the horse, and, obedient to his word, it dashed down the road and !eft him alone. There is no more need of following the lovers, to be sure that all came right, than there is of following the rushing mountain stream to be sure it finds the sea. CUKIOL'8, USEFUL ANW SCIENTIFIC. If it is true that sparrows and swallows for sake a district when cholera isabouttomake its advent, the fact should Ik? rcnerally known and thoroughly established oa all creditable data. Kxperimcnts made by J. Aitken confirm the usual notion that pure water has a blue tint; but be finds that the theory of selective reflection is insulticient to account for all the variations as to tint met with tin the case of natural accumulations of water. Whitisn particles are suspended in the water of the Mediterranean, and the tint varies from deep blue to chalky blue-green, according to the proportion in which these particles may be present. Extensive preparations are making to util ize the cactus in the manufacture of paper and textile fabrics. The Mexican Government has recently granted important concessions to two individuals who projKise engaging in this new industry. The concessions consist in giving these persons the exclusive right to gather the cactus for ten years from government lands. The grant further provides that for each mill of the value of 150,000 erected by the grantees for the manufacture of paper from the cactus leaf the government shall give a premium of $.00,000. A Kussian statistician has amused himself calculating the distance traveled in a year by the hand of a printer. He takes the prin ciple that a skillful compositor, working ten hours a day allowing for distributing and correction, sets up KJ 000 letters. In counting the year at ."00 working days, he makes them a total o,ouu,i""i letters, consequence the distane from case to the stick and from the stick to the case being estimated at two feet, makes in all 7,2U0,uuO feet, there being 5,500 leet m a geographical mile, so that the distance made in a year under these condi tions by a printers hand is in the neighborhood of 00 miles, or a mile a day. Tersons traveling bv railway are subject to continued annoyance from riying cinders. un getting into tue eyes they are not only painful for the moment, but are often the cause of long suffering that ends in a total loss of sight. Avery simple and effective cure is within the reach of eveiy one, and would prevent much suffering and expense were it generally known. It is simply one or two grains of flaxseed. These may be placed in the eye w ithout injury Or pain to that delicate organ, and shortly they will begin to swell and dissolve a glutinous substance that covers the ball of the eye, enveloping any foreign substance that may be in it. The irritation of cutting the membrane is thus prevented and the annoyance may soon bo washed out. Some recent investigations relating to the speed of thought are tlis summed up in the American Journal of Arts and isciences: "Sensations are transmitted to the brain at a rapidity Of about ISO feet per second, or at one-fifth the rate of sound; and this is nearly the same in all individuals. The brain requires one-tenth of a second to transmit its orders to the nerves which preside over voluntary action; but this amount varies much in different individuals, and in the same individual at different times, according to the disposition or condition at the time, and is more regular the more sustained the attention. The time required to transmit an order to the muscles by the motor nerves is nearly the same a) that required by the nerves of scasation to pass a sensation ; "moreover it passes nearly one hundredth of a sec ond betöre tbe muscles are put m motion. The whole operation requires one and onefourth to two-tenths of a second. Consequently, when we speak of an active, ardent mind, or of one that is slow, cola or pathetic, it is not a mere figure of rhetoric, but an absolute and certain fact that such a distinction, with varying gradations, really exists. The Feeble Grow Strong when Hostctter's Stomach Bitters is used to promote assimilation of tbe food and enrich the blood. Indigestion, the chief obstacle to an acquisition of strength by the weak, is an ailment which infallibly succumbs to the action of thia peerless corrective. Loss of flesh and appetite, failure to sleep and growing evidence of premature decay, are speedily counteracted by the great invlgorant, which braces up the physical energies and fortifies tbe constitution against disease. No such protective against chills and fever and other diseases of a malarial type exists, and it relieves constipation and liver disorder, rheumatism, kidney and bladder ailments with certainty and promptitude. A change as gratifying as St is complete soon takes place jn the appearance as well m the sensations of the wan and haggard invalid who upcs this standard prowti vi heaitb and trength.

If you hit the mark, you must aim a little above it ; every arrow that rlies feels the attraction of the earth, Longfellow. The Dowager Countess de Kironne once said: "I do not like allusions. They are the anonymous letters of conversation." You may be wise enough to be able to say your prayers backward, but if your life is not correct you know what you are, and so do other people. There is no short cut to excellence. In every department of human achievement superiority is based upon soil, and success is reached oiily by effort. Because we see a fault in a friend do not root him out and say, "I'll have none of him," and thereby lose the real good corn panionship might bring. Spurgeon says that a man who is in the habit of practising every day on a cornet may be a Christian, but it is out of the question for his neighbors to be.

If Satan should attend the services at some of our fashionable Churches he would simply say, "This is all right, and just as I would have it," Then go off on more pressing business. A popular religion is simply a religion which allows a man to do just as be pleases in this world and then gives him "a second probation after death" to fix things all right and get him ready for heaven. It is not well to process too much for unless you are as good on Monday as you seem to be on Sunday you are simply gathering rods for your own breeches. That is what Hesiod said in Greek a long time ago. A correspondent of one of the medical jour nals says that the application of a strong solution of chromic acid three or four times a dav by mean's of a camel's hair pencil is the best and easiest method of removing warts. We scatter seed with careless band. And dream we ne'er shall see them more, But for a thousand years Their fruit appears In weeds that mar the land, Or healthful store. Anon. Chaucer, who died in the year 1400, seems to have found poverty as inconvenient as most of us of a later age. In his address "To His empty Purse" he anticipated the sorrows from which many of his successors have suffered : To you, my purse, and to none other weight Complain l.for you be my lady dear. I am sorry now that you be light. For -ertes you now make me heavy cheer. . Me were aa' liefe land upou a bier. For whieh unto your mercy thus I cry lie heavy again or else must 1 die. Good words from the pulpit: "The worship of wealth spoils the home, life, begets a loss of public spirit; it sets up a false standard of success and worth; it hopelessly corrupts commercial honesty; it leads to distrust of human virtue; it leads men to live beyond their means. Just as surely as we continue to rear our vast civilization uj on a lavs of

deceit and money worship and political fraud, it will turn and rend us, as did the monster created by Frankenstein." Have a time and place for everything, and do everything in its time and place, and you will not only accomplish more, but have far more leisure than those who are always hQrryingasif in rain attempting to overtake time that has Leeu lost.

Boston is reminded by the London Times that she is not the only city to suffer a downfall from intellectual supremacy. Edinburgh has been deposed from a raiiK more exalteL Weimar has sunk to a petty residence town, Geneva has gone into trade and politics.. Florence is no longer a literary centre, and Oxford and Cambridge retain no dictatorship in letters. New York has "merely taken precedence of Boston." It is said that the results of the recent examination of women students at Cambridge, Kngland. are satisfactory, five having obtained honors and two degrees. In the Mathematical Tripos, Miss Ferris, of Girton College, occupied the position as Wrangler. In the Natural Science Triios. rive women students obtained degrees; in the Moral Science Tripos, three: in the Historical Science Tripos, four; and in the classical Tripos, twelve women students obtained degrees or honors. All the young women had been prepared at Girton or Newnham Colleges. The editor of the Christian Commonwealth being asked If it is right for Christians to read novels answers as follows: "We do not see anymore wrong in reading a novel than in reading anything else, provided that novel is worth reading at all. Truth may be set forth in fiction in a very forcible way. The parables of the New Testament are for th" most part doubtless constructed with ima. inary characters, but they are for the purpose of teaching some important truth. When a novel does the same thing it may be read with profit. Still, we do not recommend the reading of r.oveis where the tendency is to destroy the taste for more substantial reading."

I heard your Kheumatic Byriio hichlv recommended, ami 1 tried it, and before 1 had used two bottles an pain had left me, and to-day 1 can get about and atu able to attend to my business, and am improving rapidly every day. 1 am confident that the Kheumatic Syrup, if taken as directed, will cure any case of rheumatism or kidney disease.

The ruler of the i'AOOO.OuO of w hich the Chinese nation probably consists is now within live years of his majority (the age of 18 j ears i, and is an occupant, while yet a minor, of the same apartments in which lived the Kmperor who proceeded him on the Dragon Throne. There, says the NoTtn China Herald, he eats with gold tipped chop sticks of ivory. There he sleeps on a large Nitigpo bedstead, richly carved and orna mented with ivory and goid the same on which the noble minded Emperors Kang Hsi and Chieu Lung used to reeling after the day's latigue last century and the century betöre. Like one of those living Ku Mhas who may be seen in tbe lamasery on the Mongolian plateau, he is knelt to by all the attendants and honored as a god. The seclusion in which he is kept if far more complete than that of the gods. The building in which the Emperor resides is called Yang Hsin Tien, and is a little to the west of the Ch'ien Chien Meu in the middle of the palace. At the back of the central gate, on the south side, is the great reception hall. When Ministers of State and others enter for an audience, at 4, 5, or in the morning, according to custom, they have to go on foot to the center of the palace, over half a mile, if they enter by the east or west gate; and when they get on in years they can appreciate the Emperor's lavor, which then allows them by a decree to be borne in a chair instead of walking. The rooms of tke Kmperor consist of seven compartments. They are provided with the divan or klang, the peculiar institution of North China. Theklangsare covered with red felt of native manufacture, and the f.oor with European carpets. The cushins all have embroidered on them the dragon and the phoenix. Fretty things scattered through the rooms are endless in variety, and are changed in accordance with any wish ex pressed by the Emperor. The rooms are in all 30 yards long by from 8 to 0 yards deep and are divided into three separate apartments, the throne room being the middle one. Folding doors 10 feet in height open into each of these apartments to the north and south in tbe center of each. The upper part of thee doors is in open work in which various auspicious characters and flowers are carved. These doors remain open even in winter, because daring that season a thick embroidered curtain of damask is hung in the doorway, which by its weight keeps its place close to the door posts ana prcyeuis. com air irom entering, in summer this is replaced by a curtain admitting the breeze, on account of its being made of very thin strips of bamboo. The silk threads used in sewing the strips of bamboo together are of various colors, and passing through the whole texture of the curtain from top to the bottom are very agreeable to the eye. The-e summer and winter curtains are rolled up to air tbe room ween required The Hoppo who lately returned from Canton gave the Emiterora present valued at $S,00o. It consisted of chandeliers holding 500 wax car dies each. His Majesty has also soiee electrical machines and numberless foreign curiosities. The Emperor was vaccinated when an infant, before his high destiny was thought of. otherwise it would have been difficult to vac cinate him, for, bis jerson being sacred when Kmperor, no lancet can touch him. His mother, the Princess of Ch'un, goes in to see him nce a month and kneels when she first speaks to him, but rises afterwards. His father does so, too. The Kmperor studies Chinese daily for an hour an a half, and Manchu also for an hour and a half He spends two hours in archery and riding and in winter amuses himself with sleding. He has a little brother of live, whom it may be hoped the mother takes with her when she goes to the palace. The teachers who instruct him kneel to him on entering, but afterwards sit. The Emperor has eight eunuchs, who constantly attend him, oesides an indefinite number for special occasions. He has Iiis meals alone and the eight eunuchs wait round him, restraining him if he takes too much of any one thing. His school-room is at the back of the Yang Hsin Ten, already described, and the hall lor conference each morning with the Ministers is a little to the left, A Voice From the l'ress. 1 take this opportunitv to bear testimony to the efccacv of vour "Hon Bitters." Ex pecting to find theai nauseous and bitter and composed of bad whisky, we were agreeably surprised at their mild taste, j".st like a cup of tea. A Mrs Cresswell and i Mrs. Connor, friends, have likewise tried and pronounce them the best medicine they nave ever lacen for buildinz tip strength and toning up the system. I was troubled with costiveness. headache and want of appetite. My ailments are now all gone. I have a yearly contract with a doctor to look after the nealth ot my self and family, but I need him not now. S. Gilulanp, People's Advocate, Pittsburg, To. July IS, lfcTg.

BILlGIOrS liiTELLlQEKCE ARD INCIDENT.

France will restore the salaries of the Catholic priests and otherwise make peace with the I'ope. The height of prudishness w as attained by the Utica clergyman who, when be had occasion to refer to the prophet Jonah, delicately f poke of him as having "passed three daya and three nights in the whale's ahem society." Connecticut preachers appear to be as bad as tbe detectives engaged in the Rose Ambler murder. According to the newspapers they are preaching sermons criticising tbe men liable to be charged with the crime, and in this way manufacturing public opinion so that a fair and unprejudiced trial of any one will become impossible. Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe, of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, has recently ordained to the diaconateMr. Cyrus P. Lee, a wealthy banker of Buffalo, who for the past seven years has driven to an outlying town every Sunday to read service. Feeling at last that he could better perform bis labor of love if ordained, he asked for ordination to the perpetual diaconate. The significance of the incident lies in the fact that Mr. Lee does not give up his business, nor is he authorized to preach. He is simply a Christian layman licensed to perform certain clerical functions, but neither asked nor expected by the Church to withdraw from the world. The command of our ascending Lord "1'reach the gospel to every creature'' was manifestly not conllwed. in the obligation it imposed, to the eleven disciples, nor to those only who should afterwards be ordained to the special work of the gospel ministry. The inspired history of the apostolic church shows clearly that ail were required to do their part. "Help tnose women which labored with mein tbe gospel. ' writes Faul in his letter "to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at I'hilippi, with the bisnops and deacons." It is plain that "laboring in the gospel is tbe inestimable privilege of every child of God. A writer upon bells in a contemporary quotes one of Kuskin's criticisms upon the eternal bell-ringing which goes on all day in Italy. l write this morning wearily and without spirit, being nearly deaf with the bell-ringing and bawling which goes on here at Florence ceaselessly, in advertisement of prayers and wares, as if people could not wait on God for what they want but God had to ring for them, like waiters, for what he wanted, as if they could not think ot nothing they were in need of until the need was suggested to them by bellowing at their doors or bill-postins on their bouse corners." The lerpetual chiming of bells in continental towns becomes very wearisome. They are played by means of a barrel like that in a hand organ, although in many of them clock-work is used. A good ami true story is going the rounds about the adventure of a worthy Congregational juistor who ministers to a suburban Church. It happened same two Sundays ao. He had agreed to supply a Koxbury pulpit for an absent brother. He came into Boston and promptly took a Highland car for the scene Of his evening s labor. In due time he descried a steeple, and. reaching the Chuch. got out, w alked in, took off bis overcoat in the vestry, and went straightway to the pulpit. He glanced around on the congregation and 'proceeded, after a minute or two's delay, to give a good old standard Congregational hymn. The congregation proceeded to rind the place, the organ gave the tune, and tho singing began. While it was in progress the sexton walked up the pulpit stairs and said to our suburban friend. "Mr. will be here in a lew minutes " The situation flashed upon him, but suppressing his emotions he asked, "Why, isn't this Mr. 's Church?" "No, sir," calmly replied the sextod, "this is the Universalist Church." There was an exchange of places a few minutes later. Tbe friends of the suburban minister are now fond of asking him how he came to enter the Fniversalist ministry. He lauchs and solaces himself with the remark, "Well, 1 got them to sing a good orthodox hymn, anyway. ioston .traveler. Hall's Catarrh Cure is unlike anv similar remedy, as it is taken internally.

BEYOND THE RIVER.

Away AcroM the Missinsippi Is Held a Convincing; Conversation. 'I tell you. air, that they are one of the neatest combinations ever produced, and my experience of that sort of thing has been vri Je enough to entitle my judgment to some respect." "Oh, I don't know," responded the first speaker's friend, with a Utile yawn, as thou.a te didn't take much interest in the subject. "I bave never been able to see much difference In those things. They are all pretty nearly of the same size, ani made of about the same stuff." The talk, of which the foregoing is a irajrment, took place in Gallatin, Mo., not long ago, in the snug office of Dr. M. P. Flowers, one of the leading physicians of the State, who followed up the vein in which he had introduced it substanUally in these wordi: 'Nonsense, that is the rigmarole of a boy, or rather of a man who either doesn't know or doesn't care what he says. Those things, as you call them, are just as different aa the moon is from green cheese. Now, liniments, lotions and ointments are very good la most cases for the relief ot pain or inflammation, but in the first plaCC they are unclean. They soil the bands and the linen. besides being always out of reach when they are most wanted." Well, my dear Doctor," sighed the trarelec from the IXorth, '-what would you bave? This Is a wretched world anyhow, and nothing Is ever at band when it is wanted.
