“ 01‘ Such is the Kingdom of
" ' ' "Heaven.” .
Oh, mother, so bitterly weeping!
Yet praying submissive to be,
Remember the Lord; who is keeping
Thy darlings more safely, and he
The. assurance has sweetly given,
“ Of such is the Kingdom of Heaveui"
Though grievous-the parting,and‘ breaking ‘
Thy heart, in its outburst 'of woe",
Think, mother, the Shepherd is taking
Thy lambs from all sin here, below ;. .
0f old the assurance was given;
“ 0f such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
A fair little lily, like Jenny,
Was wanted to blossom above, ~
In the garden of heaven with many
.Ever drinking the dew of God's love;
For he the assurance has. given,
“ Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven?’
Look upward then, mother, and ever
Remember life's span is not long ;
That awaiting thee, “over the river,”
Two angels, are joining in song,
Oh, bles't the assurance once given,
“ Of such is the Kingdomof Heaven."

New YORK, April 25th, 1876.
MOODY AND SANKEY
have closed their meetings in New York,
and have gone away to take the rest they have
fairly earned. They have held meetings five
times every day for ten weeks, and have,
outside of their meetings, performed an im-
mensc amount, of labor. At each of them
Mr. Moody spoke not less than half an hour
and in the morning and evening his sermons
were much longer. Mr, Sankey sang more
or less every time, so much indeed, that he
has well-nigh lost his‘voice. ‘ It is estimated
that a million and a half of people have heard
them ; that fifteen thousand have been con-
verted, besides the general awakening that
they have dOne for the churches, the effect
of which will be felt for years. On the last
day they made an appeal for money to pay
off the debt of the Young Men’s Christian
Association, and t: such purpose that $135,-
000 was raised on the spot. The farewell
meeting was very affecting, and the service
very impressive. There never was such a
crowd gathered together in that vast building.
Every seat was occupied, and every inch of
standing room as well, and vast as the crowd
was, not a f. urth of those who came could
squeeze in. It was a vast, perspiring crowd of
people, all anxious to give the departing
evangelists a hearty and cordial God-speed.
There is no denying that Moody and
Sankey hold the hearts of the christian peo-
ple in their hands. They can get them to do
more, to work harder, and make more
sacrifices than any tWo men living. Enthu-
siasts themselves they enthuse others, and by
sheer work force their ways of working upon
those who, before they knew them scoffed at
, them. ,111 their way they are absolutely
great, and their, power does not diminish.
They received during their stay in the city
over $30,000 from grateful parents of saved
sons. These thank offerings enable them to
live and prosecute their work. Mr. Moody
goes to Florida for a few weeks, and Sankey
goes forhis rest to his home in Newcastle,
Pa. They will rest for a month, and then
open a series of meetings in Boston. The
total cost of the ten week's meetings footed
up to nearly $50,000. The building will be
occupied, this summer, by _Gilmore's band,
for a series of monster concerts.
THE EMPEROR or BRAZIL.
The last sensation is visit to the Emperor
of Brazil, Dom Pedro. He came very quietly
for an emperor, and disappointed the flunkies
by absolutely refusing to have any fuss made
. over him. When this announcement was
- made there was weeping and wailing in many
circles. The politicians wanted a chance to
air themselves at a reception ; the city
officials wanted a big dinner at the expense
of the city ;’ Delmonico wanted to furnish
the said dinner at I about three prices,
dividing with the officials ; the belles wanted
a chance to dance _ at the grand ball that
emperors are supposed to always desire, and
most every body wanted' to have something
in connection with him. But the Brazilian
refused to submit to anything _df"the, kind.
He came here toace and not be seen, and he
did it.
self and suite at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and
he paid his bills the same as any other man‘
would He drove about the city and viewed
it in the most comfortable way he could in
carriages that he paid for; he visited the
shops, fortifications, big stores, theatres and
other places of interest, in the most ‘quiet
manner, and when he had got through. he
paid his bills like a man, and went to Chica-
go. There were thirty people in 'his suite,
attending upon his person, and some twenty-
to take care of his wife. the empress. The
expenses of the party at the hotel alone Were
$2,800 per day, the entire expenses being
probably $5,000. It isn’t a bad business
being an emperor. Dom Pedro is a tall,
well-built, handsome man—one who impres
see you as being along way above the average:
There is character in his face. The empress
is rather a handsome woman, 'who lOoks as if
she had as much will, at least, as her hus-
band, and as though she had her finger in
what of government Brazil enjoys. The
oflicers accompanying him were all fine look-
ing men, except one—’-the treasurer, or purse-
holder—a small, weazen faced, brown-
skinned man—whose business with the party
no one could make out. It was surmised
that he is the confessor of the empress, who,
as is well-known, is the most devout and
bigoted Catholic in all South America. He
looked the character,. at all events. The
empress never made a movement without
consulting him, and whatever he said seemed
to have sufficient weight with her to decide
.her action. It will be remembered that her
daughter had a ribt with the emperor not
long since. The emperor decreed religious
freedom, which the daugher did not like, so
she vowed a vow never to wear shoes - or
cover her head till the decree, was revoked
and the Catholic religion be made as before,
the only recognized religion. And she did
go about the streets barefooted, much to the
scandal of the court, but with the entire up:
probation of the priesthood, and, backed by
her mother, the emperor was compelled to
succumb. The empress looks as if- she were
capable of the same thing. Theparty return
to New York in a short time, when the bum-
mers and the fashionables will make another
effort to gobble him. He has a remarkable
good opinion of this country and its peOple,
and, as it is desirable that he keeps it, I most
earnestly hope that he will steadfastly refuse
to be wined and dined by the officials of this
city, or be entertained by the equally objec-
tionable snobs.
. auras/ms IMPEACI-IMENT. '
Business called me to Washington this
week, in time to see. the opening of the
Belknap trial ; one of the most serious cases
ever before Congress—the first time. that a
cabinet officer has been indicted for stealing.
The bright Easter Monday had drawn
thousands of children to their annual sport of
egg-rolling in the capitol grounds, which
rang all day to their shouts. But within, the
formal proceedings drew a gallery-crowd to
see how the ex-Secretary “took it." The
formalities, slight as they are, were very im-
pressive from a body that pays so little regard
usually, to them as the American Congress.
ChiefJgstice Waite came swiftly in, wearing
his silk~.:‘gown of office, and the House of
Representatives filled the floor in the Senate
to hear the proclamation made by the Ser-
gcant—at-Anns, and the impeachment read.
The counsel on both sides gathered, a
formidable looking array of sound learning

assumption of entire case, threw one arm over

eye on one particular part of the gallery
where two strikingly» pretty. women were»
. seated, and kept his regards there most of
- the time while he was in, the chamber. The
impeachment summons was read, to which
the counsel filed answer that the said Win.
Belknap‘ was not an officer or the United
government counsel 'iiskcd "(in adjournment

over. . The great self-indulgentdragoon who
lately held the office ofihigl‘i'cabir'i'et minister,
stalked out of the senate chamber, halfa
dozen men shook hands with him, a courtesy
which he accepted in alo'fty impatient fash-
ion, as if he had rather not be troubled with
such demonstrations; but not a senator was
seen to shake hands with him.
run GRAIN TRADE.
The merchants in New York are in, a state
of, mind about. the grain trade. ~St'atistics
recently collected, show that Baltimore
receives nearly twice the grain New York
does, and Philadelphia about the same ;
while Boston, which was supposed to be
dead, is working up very closely to both.
The papers are all discussing thematter,
and begging the merchants to take steps to
bring back the trade. The trouble isn’t with
merchants, though the loss falls‘ou them.

in New York for handling grain, cheaply,
quickly, or safely. That by the Central has
to be Iightercd to the vessels, and very much
of. it is moved on trucks.
of stealing, extortion and inconvenience.
Instead of running grain into an elevator and
from thence into vessels, at 'a merely nominal
cost, there are tolls, charges, costs, delays,
and every thing else that'is vile, till a bushel
of wheat gOing through the city is loaded to
almost its value. Consequently shippers
prefer other markets, and they' have found
them. Baltimore is taking the lion’s ' share,
and 'tlie'prosperity of that city and the de-
cline of New York attests the wisdom of the
one and the stupidity of the other. Vander-
bilt has been compelled to take steps to hold
the trade of his road. Hells building a big
elevator at sixteenth street, and the Erie will
do likewise, so there is reason to hope that
some portion of the Lost trade may be brought
back. The Western grain-grower will feel
the good efiect_at-Once. New York is the
natural market for the West, and it is a pity
to see its facilities thrOwn away., . ~-

Easter is two weeks later this spring] than

found it convenient to put off shoppingas long
as possible. The styles at the Opening dis-
play a judicious mixture of last years notions
which the milliners cannot get out of their
heads in any one season, with very much.
that is new in the way of fabric and trim-
ming. Pearl gray and pale drab chip hon-
nets of the small capote shape are in the best
taste for ladies,- while all sorts of turbans and
pretty fancy hats are shown for the country
and to be worn by young girls. Wings and
feathers are interdicted by, fashion, though
the second-rate milliners fill hats with them
as they were worn last fall. The trouble is
that these dealers are so slow in getting the
modes, that their hats always look behind-
hand and the styles of last winter days-tail
on those of June. Heather, with its delicate
pinky white and soft foliage, is the flower for
trimming. Plumy oats and all soft tressy,
drooping flowers and grass also fall in with
the style Of trimming hats, and with these
heavy crape-like ribbons and plain fine-
grained silks are used more than anything
else. Fine Panama bonnets in French shapes

braid ' . ' 1y found last year, make a desir-
able variety together with the satin and Open
brimmed hats which are but a trellis round

PIE'I‘RO.
TASTE 1N HOUSEHOLD Fortunate—In a
very interesting lecture which Cardinal
Wiseman once delivered in England, he
pointed out to his audience that the old vases
and} cups and boxes and other objects which
were kept carefully under glass in mdseums,
which were so graceful and refined in form,
and were treasured by us as precious relics
of an extinct art, were the ordinary vessels
Of the uses and conveniences of the life Of
the times from which they descended. I Is
there any good reason that the wash bowls
and pitchers and jugs and jars of old Rome
and Athens should be beautiful, and ours,
designed for the same purpose, .clumsy, and
ugly ? And if we can not invent new forms
of beauty for ourselves, may we? not copy
pleasing models rather than unpleasing ?

“filthy rags" the must magnificently jeweled
robes, than-every little dollar is full of neat
ness, fitness, and beauty, if we have the gift
of seeing them and extracting them.
It is a subtle gift, indeed, for 'it is taste.
All the dollars in the world will not buy. it.
It is like that car for music which those who
have it not deride and deny., Yet good taste
is, not the first, but the second, household
magician. The first is good temper. Good
temper will make a hard, stiff, horse hair
delightful; but good taste, , without good
temper, will make the .most luxurious and
beautiful lounge uncomfortable. The two
combined make the perfect household. The
minor magician, indeed, has one advantage
over the other, and it is' that she develops
her. Good, tastes promotes good temper,
but good temper no more promotes good
“taste than the smile 'of the gardener. ripens'
strawberries. 0n the other hand, good
temper has an advantage. It Can not ’buy

may not know mushrooms from thd‘ stools.’
But if an honest man who, as you know, can
distinguish them, Offers to sell ,you mush-
rooms, you may buy in tolerable confidence
'that your fillet will not be garnished with
poison. It is so with the mystery of house-
hold art. You may not perceive the harmony
of colors, nor the superior grace of one form
to another. But if a person whom you know
to be an expert assures you that this papei-
and that carpet are harmonious, and that
this or that table is graceful and pleasing, if
you really do not know, why'should you not
trust him ? Mrs. Potiphar perennially shows
her confidence in Mr. Marcotte by giving
him carte blanche to redecorate and furnish.
She does it, perhaps, quite as much because
Of his fashion as of his taste. But what she
does cxpensively for fashion, may , nOt you
do economically for taste ? In a- wOrd; it is
the apparent mission of what is known as,
household art to show that cheap and nasty
are not synonymous. ~I_Iarptr’s for April.
The custom of appointing young lawyers

Third Non-ParalleL—No. “alacrity in in-

Cass staid in Jackson's cabinet until prome-
ted to be minister to France. The party
endorsed his “unparalleled crimes” by first
electing him United States senator, and then
trying to elect him President of~ the United

a democratic vice-presieent. ~ ‘While he held
that office he lobbied thrOugh a claim for one
Captain Bunker for removing the Chickasaw
Indians, and obtained an'award of $146,000,
which was $37,000 moreaccording to the re-
entitled to. Johnson got $18,000 of
this. , . . '.' ' '

Mississippi, stole $100,178.08 of thefundsin

Sixth Non-Parallc1.——Nothiug was done to
Harris. In 1837 the secretary of the treasu-
ry sent a special agent to investigate » Boyd's
affairs. Here is the report of the action
taken thereon, and we commend it to these
miraculously virtuous. democrats who just"
want to get hold of the government once to
show us a specimen of political. purity. This
is the democratic purity. - ' .

Joblink sat reading his paper in his peace-
ful bolne last evening, when theLfollowfng‘
item,attracted his attention: .
’ The Woman's Journal wants women regu.
larly drafted into the army, “ not merely to
fight, but to make clothing and acoutrements,
to cook,wash and nurse." ‘
(Joblink raised his eyes from the Journa
and rivited them upon the face and form of
Mrs: ' Joblink, grimly and piously perusing
the Bible at the other side of the table. The
gaze was so long and steady that Mrs. Job-
link, feeling its influence, looked up. Job.
link started, turned red, and pretended to be
reading with uncommon interest-
“ What’s the matter with you now 1’" snap:
ped the good woman.
“Nothing, my dear," repliedthe disengeu-
nous husband. .
“ What are you reading there, ' Joblink?
Something about women again, I s’pose.”
“ Yes, my dear,” stammered Joblink.
“ What is it ?" demanded the lady.
-And J oblink read:
“The Woman‘s Journal truly says: ‘Man
may at times have glimmerings of that pro-
found beauty of soul which belongs alone to
women. He may in his higher moments per-
ceive that innate purity Of mind and instruc-
tive~ love of truth inseparable from the sex.
Man may see these things from afar off, but
his grosser nature keeps him eternally from
reaching the angelic level.’ "
“Very true,” said Mrs. Joblink, returning
to her Bible. . .
J oblink heaved a sigh Of relief, and, if any:
body had been there to observe him, he
would have seen that ordinarily sedate gen¢
tleman winking to himself from time to time
and chuckling inaudibly.—-Virgim'a (Nev.)

A Well Posted Boy.
History never jumps over Detroit. There
are too many old battle-grounds around here
for the historian to get past without at least
a few: paragraphs. The fight at Bloody Run
has been widely read of, and strangers often
ask tohave the locality pointed out. Yes-
terday a man who dropped off a street car at
the Jefferson avenue bridge to look around
1nd let memory carry him back to the Indian
'days, felt anxious to know how the fight
came to be called Bloody Run. By and by a
boy came slamming along, and the stranger
Jeckoned to him and asked:
“ Sonny, is this Bloody Run 1’"-
“ You are bloody right it is,” was the re-
joinder.
“Right around here_is where
troops were, is it i"
“ Yes sir; and down in the gully there
were the bloody Injuns.”
“ And they fought t”.
“ Bloody sure. They didn’t come here to
play, you be .” .
“ Was there much loss 2"
“ A bloody big- one.”
“ Can you tell me," continued the stranger,
looking around, “ why they call it Bloody
Run ?” .
“'Yes sir; cos’ when them soldiers found
:here were ten Indians to one white man,
.hey run so bloody fast that you can find old
mot heels around here yet I”
The stranger may have taken some away
is relics. He was seen hunting up and down

SAM AND rm: Bun—The country was full
)f game, and a trained hunter need not have
gone far in any direction to obtain aneinterm
view with either black,- cinnamon, or grizzley
man A Mexican who joined us at the town
it Conejos borrowed ten cartridges and my
:arbine from me. He returned eight of the
cartridges, and brought into camp 3 grouse
and a magnificent deer. ‘ But a military ex-
r)loring party finds no, time for sporting—at
.east, ours did not find any; and unless.tho
game came into camp, or run—against us on
she road, we seldom had a chance to spend
ourpowder. , -
One afternoon, however, Sam Abbey, one
if the packers,ran into camp, with a pale
:‘ace and his revolver drawn. ,“I—saw—a—
Jear—within—six—feet—of—me—and—it—-
.aughed—at—me 1" he exclaimed, breath-
,essly. “COme—along—-hoys—an’—let’s—
mve—a—shot l” , ~
He hadbeen lying asleep 'on the grass a
short distance away, when a panting sound
awoke him, and ashe opened his drowsy eyes
1e saw an enormous cinnamon bear gazing at
rim and smacking his rough lips. No won-
ler he was scared. A cinnamon bear is a
errible antagonist for a man with only a
evolver to defend himself ; and as Sam
aised himself on his elbows, the ruthless
nonster studied him, with the intention of
selecting a soft part to begin with evident in
ts small, ferocious, hungry-looking eyes.
Our valiant comrade sighed, and sorrow-
fully cocked his six-shooter, for he knew
2hat if he fired and missed a vital part, the
.ubsequent proceedings would have no pleas-
uable interest for him. But the bear prick-
ed up its cars at the click of the hammer,
1nd with a laudable desire to avoid diflcul-
- ies, waddled away down the hollow of the
‘iver. Sam could now feel the earth under
rim again, and sped to camp with the news
)f his adventure. ..
Mr. Karl responded to his call for volun-
teers, and went to the scene of the encounter
with the hero, who now averred that the bear
lid not laugh, but “kinder grinned.”
Poor Bruin had crossed the river; and was
quietly ascending the Opposite bank, when
’ l‘IS pursuers éspied him and pointed their
carbines at him. , Apparently imderstauding
their intentions, he turned round and ran
down the bank to have afair fight with them,
but before he reached the bottom three bul-
ets plowed through, his body, and he rolled
against a bowlder—a dead bear. May he rest
in peace 2 Better eating we never had in our
mess. His meat was stewed, roasted, and
fried. It was palatable in every form, tender
as a spring lamb’s hindquarter, juicy as the
standing ribs of a prime Herefordshire ox,
and of as agreeable a flavor as venison.—-Har.

“ THE LANGUAGE or FLOWERS is Lovx."
—-In illustration of this a correspondent of
the Sunday School Times gives this touching
incideni ; A little boy who God took to him-
self, last autumn, seemed to be ever the very
embodiment of love. It beamed from his
eyes, sang in all the tones of his voice, kissed,
from his lips, embraced with his arms. He
had a pleasant word and smile for everybody;
and everybody who knew him was attracted
to him. He loved, most intensely, his fath-
er and mother, his brothers and sisters ; he
loved Christ and his Sunday-school, his mis-
sionary box, and the heathen children; and
he loved nature in all her productions, espec-
ally flowers, autumn leaves, and ferns ; and
all kinds of animals, particularly the domes-
tic. Hardly a day passed in spring, summer,
and autumn, but he .was gathering flowers,
bright tinted leaves, and ferns for his friends '
Last spring he brought home from the woods
a plant of violets in blossom, with roots and
earth attached, and set it it in his little gar-
den. Day by day he watched, watered, and
cherished it, and took great delight in its
growth. But one day his mother saw him
digging it up, and inquired the cause, “0h,”
said be, “our teacher is so cross today, I
thought my little violets might make her feel
more pleasant and loving ;" and so, during
the school-recess, he had ran home for them.
He carried back the plant with its roots and
placed it on her desk, without saying a word
to any one, leaving it to speak to her heart.
On inquiring it was found that the words
that grieved'him were not spoken to him,
but to others ; for the teacher loved him
dearly. 7 , . > '
Thc'New Bedford' (Mass) Mm... tells
this: “ A day or two since five dogs were
shut up in a yard in this city by the gate
swinging t ether after the had passed
through it. OWl’hen they wishe to goout they ,
te, as it swung in-
ward. The animals helda an apparent con.
siiltation for a few moments, after, which a
big New Foundland clambered over the
fence. On reaching the street» he at once
pushed the gate open and released the prison-
crs. ‘ -
