WHOLENUMBER 1591.
To the Memory of Cornelia J.
Chisolm.
BY STEPAEN S. HARDING.
Brave murdered, martyred maid! ,
I’ve listened long in silence—listened long
To hear some matchless poet‘s s’ong,
Great soul, to thee and thine,
Thou peerless heroine,
' To soothe thy wandering shade,
But all in vain.
Why sleeps the silent lyre,
With its wild, sobbing strain ?
Why hushed the poet's words of fire
That rouse brave hearts with manly ire
’Gainst lawless deeds of blood,
Allil wrungs of helpless womanhood,
In cowardice so mean, in infamy so vast,
That hell gives in and devils stand aghast?
Oh, peerless heroine! what tho’ thy name
May lack in euphony and rymth ?
What boots the name
When deeds of thine shall burn-a deathlesi
flame
In hearts of valiant men ; _
And thy pure soul from mortal dross refined,
Shall glow with magic light as'when
A dew drop is enhrincd
In bosom of trihcdral prism?
Cornelia Chisolm!
Hadst thou but died in classic Rome
When thy great namesake died,
Thou wouldst have lived in Parian stone,
Supreme in excellence alone;
Through the long ages dim, .
Thy very name the poet's synonym
For filial love and courage deified. ‘ ; ,.,
- Whyshould Columbia‘s daughters weep
For J ephtha’s virgin daughter?
Victim to vow—dread vow to keep—
For Ammonitish slaughter.
Why wander forth in fancy's dreams,
With misty eys, where Mezpeh’s maiden trod,
Doomed sacrifice to Judea’s God,
And have no tears, brave Kemper girl, for
thee—
Thou more than virgin’maid of Gallilce?
Milan, Ind., Sept. 15, 1877.

A RACE FOR LIFE.
“ My dear fellow, I am delighted to see
you,” exclaimed my friend McCausland, as
he met me at the door of his house.
I had gone on a visit to_Homesdale, a little
town in the north of England. McCausland
was engineer to the water company there,
and invited me to go down for a week.
After the usual interval for dressing, we
sat down to an excellent little dinner. Not
unnaturally the conversation turned upon
the weather.
“ I am sorry this rain continues,” said Me-
Causland; “it spoils my water supply. Peo-
pie bully me as if I could help it.”
"Are your reservoirs near the town ?” I
asked.
“No,” he replied, “way in the hills. We
can go over to morrow if you like. I’ll: due
there."
The excursion was arranged. We agreed
to start at eleven o’clock next morning, and
we started punctually. We pursued our way
up the bill, and crossing the brow, reached
a small inn. Here was found a country gig
awaiting us. Into this we clambered, and
proceeded along a wooded by-road,,stony and
rut-full. At length, when hope had almost
given way to bad language, we pulled up at
another small inn called the “ Reservoir.”
We got out of the gig gladly.
An engineer foreman hurried up and ac-
costed us politely. '
“ Yes, all is right; but—"
“Well, but what ?” - .
“ I don’t quite like the South Reservoir
embankment,” was the reply.
McCauslaud turned pale to his very lips.
“ Come with me,” he said abruptly. We
hurried after him in silence, and with a
strange dread upon us.
We soon came in sight of the extensive em-
bankment, which confined the waters of the
largest of the three reservoirs of the Holmes-
dale Company.
“This is the spot I was looking at this
morning,” said Johnson.
“ You had better have a few men to pud-
dle up this,” said McCausland, indicating a
tinycrack that would have escaped less ex-
perienced eyes. -
We then continued our inspection but du-
ring our progress round the works the clouds
had massed themselves in wild grandeur
above the hills, and lay heavily above the
Apps Valley in front. The railroad crossed
the valley on a graceful viaduct near Am.
mering Junction. .
A low moaning sound was in the air. It
was not the wind, for the breeze had strange-
ly lulleda The men had all gone up to the
reservoirs. McCauslaud and I sat chatting
together.
“Do you think' you could find your way
back alone ?” he asked suddenly.
“ Why ?” I said. “Do you intend to re-
main here ? Is there danger ?”
“ Well, scarcely that; but I think I on ght
‘ to be on the spot. I will return to morrow
or next day. ”
“ Cannot I stay too ?”
“Certainly, if you desire' it. We rough it
up here, thong .”~
“I do not mind that," I. replied. So it
was settled. Fortunate it was that I did re-
main. As {we were preparing to visit the
sluices again we were startled by a vivid
flash of lightning, _which hardly passed when
the rocks rang out with a thousand thunder
echoes. .
This was the signal. The windows of
heaven opened, and a perfectdeluge descend-
ed upon the devoted valley. The little brooks
leaped up. and danced down the hill-sides,
’in white array. Tiny waterfalls swelled
themselves into cataracts, and foamed down
to the streams.
- But still the men worked hard amid the
gathering gloom and {thunder by lantern-
light, and Nature rested not that livelong
night.-
But I turn ed in and got some sleep in de-
fiance. of the elemental war without.
At5 o’clock in the morning, as the gray
light w ‘truggling into life, McCausland
came, ful y dressed, into myroom. I started
up.
“ Dress yourself as quickly as you can,
and come down stairs,” he said. I began to
ask questions. “Lose no time, there's a
good fellow; I want your assistance.” He
left the room.
I jumped up at once, hurried to the win-
dow and looked out. Day was just break-
ing through the misty sky, and all the world
was raining.
Ever and. anon a sharp snap denoted a
bough torn from its place and whirled to the
soaking earth.
I dressed quickly and joined McCausland
in the little parlor. He was studying a pri-
vate copy of the railroad time-tables, which
as an official he always carried.
“Will you take the horse and ride down
to Ammering Junction with a message?”
His collected manner assured me. Was .
this all? A ride through the rain was not.
much. “Of course I will go." .
He grasped my hand firmly. “Are you
nervous?” he stud, as he held it in his own
steady grasp. _ .
“Nonsense,” I replied, laughing; “I‘ll be
,ready in five minutes if it’s important. Is
the horse ready?” ,_
I ran up for my Waterproofs. When I
came down the horse was at the door and
McCausland inspecting him. I mounted.
“Now,” I said, “for this great message, if
you please." Mchuslnnd’s tone had some!
thing very solemn in it, as he replied ::
“ Tell- the statiommastcr at Ammering
Junction, and any people you see, that the
South .Reservoir Will not last three hours.
It will burst down the valley, and will de-
strgy the Apps Viaduct, and carry away the
bridges on the' Holmesdale Branch.
the traffic and save the passengers. God
bless you; and bark ye ride for your life. I
will fire the signal cannon as a warning.
Good bye."
Ammering J uuction'was some miles away.
My route lay .through an unknown country,
across moorland intersected by flooded
streams and swept by the fierce wind and
rain.
I must do it, I thought, as my horse pick-
ed his cautious way amid the loose stones
down the steep by-road we had ascended
the previous day. I should need all my
strength, though, to execute my task, so I
pressed on. A valuable slice out of my
time had been expended when I reached the
broad highway and urged the horse to speed.
I had to turn off again, I knew, but I fancied
I should easily find the path. , Besides, was
there not a sign-post?
Ircachcd the. turning and pulled up to
read the direction I should take. I nearly
fainted with horror as I read. The fatal
finger pointed up the crossroad I was-pursu-
ing—The Iiolmesdale and Seaham. The op-
posite index pointed—to Ruddell and Am-
mering. I could scarcely credit my senses.
Surely I was right! We had come up the
previous day, and up the bill to the reser-
voirs. I had merely to reverse the route we
had traveled. This was» a terrific mistake.
It was now past six o’clock. One of the
three precious hours had elapsed, and I was
further from Ammering than when I started.
I,was seized with despair; what could I
do now? Two hours remained and Ihad
three up-hill miles to ride, and then about
seven more across the moor before I could
reach the junction, and before that the trains
might have started, and then—!
I burst out into a cold perspiration at the
thought, and then, desperate and only half
conscious, rode madly back 'to the Ammering
road and up the bill again. ’
The summits of the neighboring hills were
shrouded in a veil of mist, but far in advance,
on the level, I could trace the railroad line.
From the elevation at which I stood I could
trace the channel of the Apps River down
the valley, and could guess the spot at which
the flood would strike the railroad, and the
branch line over the spur of the hill. I could
just distinguish the Junction in the middle
distance. A dark smoke appeared tO'be ris-‘
ing from it; an engine perhaps waiting to
start with a train, and I was lingering on the
hill. All this, and more, I could perceive
as 1 rested on the summit.i Somewhat rc-
freshed, I rode maufully forward into the
storm.
How my horse kept his feet I do not to
this hour understand.
I was quite; alone, not a human being in
sight, but suddenly the whistle of a locomo-
tive was carried to my ears. An engine
moved out of the station. Another whistle
shortly afterwards.‘ That train was safe.
I watched itglid‘e away over the viaduct.
Five-minutes later Irode into the station,
and called for the station master. As I dis-
mounted the ciock struck eight. The time
was up, and no signal from McCausland.
Telegraphing would now be easy. A porter
came out in response to my summons.
. “ I’m sorry ye lost the express,” he began.
“I don’t want the train," I replied, "I
must telegraph at once through. Where is
the station master ?”
‘- He’ll be here in a minute. But ye can’t
telegraph. The wires are blown down . We
had to send a ‘pilot’ with the express to clear
the line up to Handleigh.”
“ No telegraph! I tell you, man I must
stop the trafllc. The South Holmesdale Res-
scrvo'ir will burst this yery hour."
‘-‘ Can that be true ?” inquired a cool gen-
tlemanly man at . my elbow. It was the
station master himself. '
“ True!” I echoed. “ It is only too true.
I have ridden to tell you. We must stop the
trains."
“ The excursion leaves Handleigh at 8.05,”
mused the station master. “There may be
time; come with me.” He crossed the line
and entered a shed opposite, I followed.
Just then aloud booming sound rent the air.
The sound came back from the hill h'ke
thunder. V
“II: is the signal,” I exclaimed,
water is out. Heaven help us now i"
The station master called out... A cleaner
appeared. “Is that engine ready ?"
‘ “ Yes, sir, waiting for the excursion.”
I obeyed mechanically, and before I quiet
realized the situation we had crossed to the
up line. The station master stopped to get
a red flag and give a few instructions to his
subordinates. I now perceived that we were
“The
'to race the flood. Steam versus water.
Which would conquer?
Awhistle: we started. “The flood, the
flood! shouted the porter. We turned one
glance up the valley. A moving brown wall,
capped with a snowy ridge, was tearing down
the devoted viaduct. No time to lose. “Go
ahead,” cried the station master; I turned on
steam, put the lever over another “notch,”
and the race began in earnest.
It was an exciting race, and one never to
be forgotten. On rolled the flood. We were
running “neck and neck” for one terrible
half-minute. Now the resistless floods bore
directly to the bridge. Stones were rolling
before it like marbles. Trunks of trees, hay-
stacks, debris of every description came
headlong down upon the doomed structure.
We fled like lightning over the rails. Our
speed told now. Sparks flew from the
chimney. Another “notch"-—the beat of
the piston quickened to an almost inconceiva-
ble rapidity. We were. on the bridge. Hur-
rah! The curling wave beneath seem to
spring forward. It broke against» the but-
tresses. In a second we were across. I' shut
ofi steam, the station master put down brakes.
A tearing, rending sound, that was not the
breaks—a crash! We looken back. The
line dropped behind usllike a stage-trap.
The bridge gave way,and with aroar,that was
heard two miles off, the pretty viaduct was
swept away by the boiling, furious water.
We were truly thankful for our narrow es-
cape. And now to save the excursion.
Speeding forward again, whistling like
a demon our engine—Vigilant by name—
soon came in sight of the excursion train
By waving our red flag we averted another
danger—a collision. The telegraph. posts
being down, trains had to run upon the same
line as far as Handleigh, but our _timely
action set all to rights at last.
We soon gave the bewildered passengers to
understand the narrow escape they had had.
Fervent and sincere were the thanks We re.
ceived from all, except one man. Hewas
escaping from justice, and was captured.
From the elevated embankment we could
trace the course of the' flood for miles. The
train put back to Handleigh, whence the
passengers were forwarded by another com-
pany.

morning. ‘ ,
I found McCauslaud and his staff at the
reservoir awaiting me. He wrung my hand
fervently, and said certain words that I shall
not easily forget.
The viaduct was quickly rebuilt, but the
station-master at: Ammering does not forget
the race of steam versus water on the Vigi-
lant locomotive. Nor do I.

CHISOLM sacrum,
Services in memoriam of the late Judge
William Wallace Chisolm, daughter and son,
whose murder in Kemper County, Mississip-
pi, onc year ago,has been recorded in history,
were held recently in the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church. Every pew in
the church was filled, and a large number of
extra seats had to be prdvided for the large
assembly. The congregation included many
distinguished persons, and also Mrs. Chisolm
and her son. The feature of the service was
the eulogy pronounced by Bishop Gilbert
Haven, of Georgia. At some points during
'the delivery his utterances agreed so well
with the sentiments of his hearers that the
latter, forgetting for the moment the day and
place, interrupted the speaker with bursts of
applause.
Rev. H. R. Naylo'r, pastor of the church,
delivered a short sermon. He made mention
of the fact, that the remains of the murdered
members of the Chisolm family, over'which
no funeral services had ever been said, were
now being removed to their final restingplace
at Lockhaven, Clinton County, Pa. He se-
lected as his text St. John xiii, 7;—“What I
do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt
know beyond.” His theme was the mystery
of the present dispensation, and upon it he
preached an eloquent and appropriate sermon
Upon concluding, he presented to the congre.
gation Bishop Haven, who proceeded at once
to speak. .
In accordance with the race-honored custom
of sepulture, he said, they had come together
that day to engage in the solemn duties de-
manded by the dead no less than by the liv-
ing. We come to' bury, not to praise. We
come to satisfy the just longings of a widow-
ed and child-rcft heart, of a fatlterles‘s and
sistcrless family, that their dead may be de-
cently buried. After giving a short history
of the tragedy which gave occasion. for the
services of that day, and paying a touching
tribute to the brave and devoted daughter,
Cornelia Josephine, and the martyred father,
he observed that had this violence happened
at the hands of the red man, how the whole
land would have rung with indignation.
“We shall not enter,” he said, "in the field
that lies before your thought. Why was
this deed done, and what shall be the end of
these things if allowed to go unrebukcd of
the Nation ye need not that I should teach
you. Your hearts are inviting no pleasant,
though, perhaps, it may prove a profitable
matter. The sodtlen- lamb, the unleavcned
cake, and the bitter herbs, made a useful
meal to the thoughtful Israelite. He reflect-
ed on the hour when death reigned in every
Egyptian household, and his own, by a mir-
acle, escaped. So we may sup on lenten food
this hour, and find it nutritious to soul and
spirit. The angel of death, not God-sent,
but deviladrivcn, hovers over much of our
land, smiting with blood-strokes the victims
of his cruel wrath. He has left your homes
free, yet only for a season. If we allow
stunner: roa orrsrox's sun
to be the law of one part of our land, it will
soon be of all parts. Can one member suffer
and not all suffer with'it? Can a leading citi-
zen and his family be set on and slain in Mas-
sachusetts for political causes and peace and
safety attend the ballot in Mississippi? No
more can the reverse be true. The present
honey-combing of Pennsylvania with murder,
which stern and unrelenting justice cannot
abate; the communistic threatenings in Chica-
go and California; the bloody strikes along
the Ohio; the tramp wandering murderously
over one-half of our Union, is the natural,
the inevitable outcome of the unwillingness
of the National Government to protect its
citizens in the other half. The theory that
State governments have such absolute con-
trol of life and death within their territories
that the nation cannot cross their boundaries
to protect its citizens and punish the murder-
ers, has brought us to this weak and miser-
able pass. We are afl'rigbted at the shadow
giowering at our own hearth-stone. In se-
cluded Vermont ; in crowded Cincinnati; in
remote Maine; in central Indiana, the same
terror besets us by night, the same deadly
danger by day.
One Indian massacre arouses every part of
the land, be it the Modocs of Oregon, or the
Sioux of Minnesota, or the Utes of Colorado,
or the Comanches of Arizona, indignation
and wrath leaps from end to end of the con-
tinent, and— that, too, when no one dreams
that the dread foe is to steal again into East-
ern homes and renew his horrors at Wyom-
ing, or Schenectady. But this deed has
universal national application. It proves
universal national weakness; it breeds uni-
versal national disaster. A people that can-
not protect itself is no people. It falls to
pieces when it allows its members ‘to be cut
to pieces. [Applause] ‘ ,
Said a gentleman to me but yesterday, who
had just returned from abroad: “The old
world is over-governed; we, undergovcrned."
Nothing strikes one more forcibly on reen-
tering his land than .
run LACK or rumour. rowan.
over its own citizens. Unless a stronger
government arises we shall dissolve and dis-
appear as a nation. We sigh for the verifica-
tion of the seal of Massachusetts, an uplifted
arm holding a sword whidr alone gives placid
quiet under liberty. We have taken the
first step in verifying our right to exist as a
nation on gigantic fields of strife by bloody
and costly valor. We must carry forward
and complete this work in the national pro-
tection of every citizen in his every right.
[Applause] We must defend freedom of
speech and freedom of ballot, or we perish
from the earth. To this 'coming perfection
of national peace and power this sad even“
will contribute. This family group are mar-
tyrs to American equality of right, to the
Declaration of Independence, and to the pre-
amble of the|constitution. It was for the
cause of equal rightsthe father fought and ,
the family fell. It was for the protection of
every citizen at the polls; for ' true democra-
cy; the government of the majority of the
voters, legally and fearlessly expressed; for
the rights of mankind that this citizen of
America,with his brave son and braverdaugh-
ter, laid down their lives. .
Their cries of agony and death shall never
be forgotten, never below, never above;
“Their moans
The vales redouble to the hills, and they

Their forms will be wrought into marble,
painted upon canvas, honored in prose. and
verse, held in high and higher remembrance
as years and ages go by. The children of
the fathers who so ignorantly slew them will
build their sumptuous sepulchres. That lone
and dread procession "that thrice threaded the
dismal path a score of miles-a feeble few,
without minister or even sexton to assist
them—bearing the bloody dead, in jeopardy
of life, as they pursued their mournful jour-
ney, will yet be changed into a solemn, pene-
~tential, but glad multitude of the 'citizens of
the same county, with their wives and-
daughters and sons, gathering about that
green spot, where they were thus,buried, to
make confession of their fathers’ trangression
by such deeds Of atonement as marble, and
eulogy, and prayer, and sermon are able to
give. May those remains, now on their way
to a safer resting-place, be recalled, as were
those of Dantes, by the city of his birth by
those still hostile fellow-citizens to the place
of their birth and death, and the name of
that county, so-dishonorcd now, by this act
of penitence be restored to its former esteem:
To the future, then, poor,stricken wife and
mother, poor fa'therless and sisterless youth,
to the future cast your wet but hopeful eyes,
I
wet with joyful tears, tears for the dead he-
loved, joy that they died so gloriously and
won in one short hour immortal fame. Had
they not thus dicd,thc world had never known
them. Had they not thus died, liberty.
equality, fiaternity for all our land and all
its peoples, perhaps, had never been attained.
There may be _
MANY woman moon! s'rsr _
ere that high table-land, humanity in Amer-
ica, is reached.
It may be that others who now speak and
hear may be required also to make for their
nation like holy sacrifice. In this city,whcrc
our greatest citizen gave his life for the life
of the land, we can. properly note the slow
and bleeding feet of the martyrs to Christ
and our country! May we, if called, be as
willing and ready to follow the Christ. and
these his disciples for the protection of :the.
work of human regeneration. It may
that the whole nation will yet be!
to wrestle in the sweat of this grenWliyj
for equal rights of all men, as it has 1nd to‘
wrestle for independence and for existenbe.
It may be that Encelndus will yet arise from
under this mountain .of permitted prejudice
and hate in a manner at which all the worldE
shall stand aghast—a Kemper Coauty masses
era in every hamlet of the land. It may be
that we shall yet be compelled to‘cry out in
bitterness of spirit:
Ah, me! for the land that is sown
With the harvest of despair!
Where the burning cindej's, blown
From the lips of the overthrown,
Enceladus, fill the air!
God forbid that such a horror shall light
upon our land. God will not forbid it if .we
let Ilis children’s blood cry to Him from the
ground. God did not forbid, could not for-
bid, 'Cain's deluge from washing out Cain's
sin.
Yet if the deluge should come; if the
waters of death shall prevail even above the
tops of the highest mountains; if the nation
shall be wrapped in the flames of civil strife
more dire than any we have yet felt, and our
indifference to the fate of our brothers shall.
doom us to a worse suffering, out of it all
shall the new earth come. The deluge shall‘
pass away, the land of righteousness, of
brotherliness, of Christ, without caste or
violence, or hatred, or disloyalty, or murder,
shall appear above the flood. And then will
gleam” forth, nay will more brightly blaze,
the fame of this just father, this brave lad,
this Corneliau jewel of filial maidenhood.
Hope, then, sad hearts; “hope and endure,
and be patient." Pray for those who have
despoiled your house of its home, its head,
its heart. Pray for them by name, pray for
them with all the heart. So will you be still
one household, for thus prays yourfamily in
heaven. In Christ they lived, for Christ they
died, with Christ they dwell. Live ye in
Christ in petition for the forgiveness of your
enemies, so that if spared the martyr’s fute,~
you may still rejoice in the martyr’s crown.
for then you shall win like honor from ,God.
with those of your own flesh and blood that
have gone up, yes, blessed be the Lord, gone
up, up,|up, up, in human love and reverence,
-in .earthly fame, .into heavenly seats, through
great tribulation, and have washed their robes
of blood, and made them white in the blood-
ier blood of the Lamb; who died for them
as they died for Him, and will make to reign
with Him in peace and bliss for ever and
forever. '
The Cost of Royalty.
When Queen Victoria came to the throne
in 1837, the usual steps were taken to pro-
vide for the support of her majesty'and the
royal household.‘ A select committee of
twenty-one members was appomted by the
House of Ccmmons to prepare estimates for
such support. Tue charges for the house-
hold of William IV. was made the basis of
their calculations. They seem really to have
taken it as a model household, and to have
arranged the present one on almost exactly
the same plan, and with just about the same
expenses. For her majesty’s privy purse
they set apart $200,000 yearly; for house-
hold salaries, $656,300; for ordinary house-
hold expenses, $862~,500; for royal bounty,
&c., $66,000, and for various other small
items $40,200. The total is £385,000, or
about $1,925,000. The estimat: was agreed to
by thejHousc of Commons, and so the account
stands today. Some of the ofilces for which
provision was made in that list have since he-
come obsolete,:and the incumbents have
absolutely no duties to perform. Yet the
offices are still and the salaries are still paid
as before.
These items by no means constitute the
whole expense of the Queen’s household, and
that lump sum of $1,925.000 is by no means
her whole income from the national treasury.
She also receives the revenues of the Duchy
of Lancaster, which amount to $216,000 net.
The amount from this source is not uniform,
but that was the sum received for the last
year reported—1876-77. This swells her-
majesty’s heavy purse to $515,000 per
annum out of the funds of the nation. Of
this sum she has absolutely no demand for
her actual ordinary expenses. It is clear
pocket money. She is under no necessity
of laying out a single penny of it, for every
possible expense seems to beprovided for
in other allowances. If she travels by water,
a yacht is placed at her disposal at govern-
ment expense. If she travels by rail, the
country, likeWise, foots the bills by an ad-
ditional , allowance. Even for charity she
need not draw upon her own purse, for a
liberal grant is made for this express purpose.
Not only does she travel by water in royal
yachts, but- a small fleet of these yachts is,
built and kept in repair for her particular
use. This, of itself, is an enormous extra
bill, but I have no means of finding the
amount of it. The maintenance of royal
palaces takes an additional $157,900a year,
and the maintenance of royal parks and
gardens takes another $529,655 per annum.
Adding the annual allOwauceto her majes-
ty, the net revenues of the duchy of Lancas-
ter and the maintenance of royal palaces,
parks and pleasure gardens, we have a total
of $2,827,556 a year. This does not include
the traveling expenses of the Queen, the
maintenance of the royal yachts, or any of
half a dozen other important items which
are strictly a part of the expenses of royalty
in England. Allowances to other metflprs
of the royal family are also additional items.
“In fact,” as an English authority says, “if
.all the expenses incidental‘ to ‘the honor and
dignity of [the crown’ could be ascertained,
it would be found that the £385,000 annually
settled by Parliament upon her majesty con-
stitutes but a very small portion of the actual
cOst of‘oyalty." ' .
.‘It would be wrong to blame the Queen in-
dividually with any great part of the re-
sponsibility of her absurd and expensive
household. It is a creature of the —Britsh‘ ar-
istocracy as a whole, and the Queen is only a
kind of central figure of the system which
the country'has built. I may add that the
Queen also has a large private fortune, from
which it is estimated she realizes an income
of no less than $1,000,000 a year, in addition
to the amount paid her by the nation.
The allowances to the royal family, not
including the Queen, amount to $785,000
yearly. The revenues of the Prince of
Wales from the duchy of Cornwall—about

The Wine Question.
Masses Earlene: In your issue of J une
4th, under the bend of “Victims of' Alcohol”
is this paragraph written by a correspondent.
“The churches bf the present day instead of
using the inild,’undislilled, unfermented wine
'of the Apostolic days, have unjustifiably
takena liquid composed of violent poisons,
the invention of some mind intent upon the
destruction of heaven-born beings, and pre-
sented it' at the Lord’s table as the spilt blood
of our risen Savior. Oh holy Mockery i”
What means this wholesale censure and
condemnation ? ' Has the churches become
the worst institutions in the land? Does '
your correspondent mean to assert that we
have no Divine ‘_authority for the present
custom of the use of fermented wine? or
that it is not safe‘to-follow Divine direction
and examples, in‘ the institutions and ordi-
mantles as given—ff Is each succeeding. gene-
ration to-be left Io'establish and set up its
own standards "de maxims, and follow its
own prejudices, br its supposed superior wis-
dom? As to thclpature and cflects of wine
as we find them iecorded in the Scriptures,
as early as the dais of Noah we read in Gen,
9, 20, 2tlz-L-“And‘lfioah began to be a bus-
handman, "and helpl'anted a vineyard, and he
drank of the wine and was dmalwn.” ‘ What
was' the matter betel: 'Is it reasonable to
suppose that Nollb immediately after the
flood, his family comprising the whole popu-
lation or the eartbi’pmcssed all the knowl-
edge and faciliticd"-linown in these modern
:days, for adulteratiou and dragging of beve-
rages, or that he deliberately and knowingly
indulged to exceeds?“ Is it not highly proba-
ble that he was‘ignorant of the nature and
effects of his proddctionl in the "process of
fermentation, audi'was'taken" unavvares, and
that the indulgence was not repeated? as we
find his name enumerated in the list of Wor-
thies mentioned by 5“Pnul_" in Heb. 11 : 7.
Again in later g’en'ehitiohs we read of similar
effects of “strong di‘inka”. Solombn also in
his observations and‘ii'dv'icc, Prev. 23: 20, 21.
Be not among wins-Moan; among riotous ‘
eaters of flesh; for the drunkard and glutton
shall come to povcrt ." And, in Prov. 23:
29,30; “Who bath woe ? who hath sorrow ?
who hath contentions? who hath babbling ?
who hath wounds without cause ?' who hath
redness eyes ? Théy that tarry long at the
wine, they that go toseek mixed wine.
Then in Is.5: 11,12, we read “Woe to
them that rise up early in the morning, that
they may follow stroug drink that continue
until night till wine inflame them, and the
harp, and the viol, lhbitabret and pipe, and
the wine are in their l’feasts.” Conciusively
proving that wine iniis nature and effects
then, was ~not foreignifto that seen in these
latter days. Again still further iu_“Apostolic
days" Paul in his admonitions and advice
says to Ehpesians in Eph. 18: 18. “And he
not drunk with vinegwherein is excess, but
be filled with the spirit.” Peter also in his
epistles, 'sec,‘1st Pctérf‘l: 3. says: “Fer the
time past‘of our life may suffice us to have
wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we
walked in lacivious'nes’s‘: lusts, excess of wine,
revelings, banquetings,‘_and abominable idol-
atries.” Does anyone think the wine here
mentioned, was not alcoholic, or'unferment-
ed, or that its legitimate use is forbidden?
Is not rather its abuse and use to mess ? If
so, then what is meant by Paul‘s advice to
Timothy? see I Timothy 5:23, “Drink no
longer water, but use a little wine for thy
stomach’s sake.” What says the Great:Teach-
er himself as accorded in Matthew, 26: 27,
27, 29, “And He xtook the, cup, and gave.
thanks, and gaveitto them, spying: Drink
ye all or it; for this ”is tibybiddd 'oftbe new‘
Testament, which is shed for many, for
the remission of sins. But I say unto you,
I will not drink henceforth_of this fruit of
the wine until that day when I drink it now
with you in my Father’s kingdom." The
same record isubstantially is given in
Mark 14:23, 24, 25; also in Luke 22:17, 18,
19, 20. Have we in any of these examples
any evidence: or intimation that the wine
was anything diflercnt or peculiar ? If so,
would not some caution, direction, or ad.
monition, in regard to the use of such,and
to avoid the use of the other? We read in
Matthew 10:24. “The disciple is not above
his master or the servant above his lord.”
What the Master has ordained and sanc-
tioned, shall the disciples ignore, {or set
aside? “Holy Mockcry," indeed! Because
some have succeeded in debasing them- _
selves, and formed habits of debauchery,
and excess, are we now to set aside the le-
gitimate use? If the habits of indulgence
are formed and strongly established, that
is but the unfortunate and inevitable result
of their own deliberate choice, and must be
either patiently borne, or grappled with, in
all the determined strength and will :of
which they are possessed, as the case may be.
But some tellthe willpower is weakened by
excessive indulgence and cannot avoid. If
so, then let each individual in some sober
interval, bring physical force to bear, and
it will be effectual in every instanc, via,
search thoroughly cellars, closets, side-boards,
Jae—every nook and corner, turn out and
annihilate everything that has the nearest
and most remote taste and smell of alcohol;
keep away from saloons, and all public
places of indulgence, and the sight of drunk.
ards made, 'and of reformed men dragged
again down to min, by the indulgence at the
sacrament will immediately disappetir.

How Bar-room Liquors are Made.
There may be seen daily on Chestnut
street a man dr , . .inv'faultless apparel,
with a great diamond on his-breast vainly.
'endeavoring to outglitter the magnificent -
solitaire on his finger. In 9 German uni-
versity .hc learned: chemistry, . and, not even
Liebig knewL it better. , His occupation is
the mixing and adulteration of liquors.
Give hima dozen casksof deodorized alco-
hol, and the next day-each of them will rep-
resent the [name of a genuine wine or pop.
ular spirit. He enters a wholesale drug
store, hearing a large basket upon his, arm.
Five pounds of Iceland moss are weighed
out to him. To raw liquors this imparts a
degree of smoothness and oleaginousness
that {gives to imitaticn brandy the glibness
of that which is most matured. Au astrin-
gent, callcdcatechu, that would almost close
the mouth of a. glass inkstand is next} in
order. A couple of ounccsof strychnine,
'next called for, are quickly conveyed to his
vest pocket, and a pound of white vitriol is .
as silently placed in the bottom of the bus-
ket. The oil ,of cognac, the sulphuric acid.
and other articles that give fire and body to_
liquid poison, are always kept in the store.
The mixer buys those from various quarters.

A_ Curtain Lecture.
11:30 P. M.
What! go to the country this summer ?
Now, that’s to absurd, Mr. ”8.! -—
To bury the girls in a farmhouse,
Where never a man they will see.
How can you expect them to marry?
You haven't the money to spend!
I tell you that’s all stuff and nonsense!
You’ll find it costs more in the end.
When. they're left on your hands for a
lifetime, '
You’ll wish you had listened to me.
, And retrenched in some other direction—
I tell you you will, Mr. B. !
I’ve told everybody we're going
To Long Branch, and then to the Springs;
And now, to come down to the country!
They’ll be saying all manner of things,
Have you thought of the shock to your
credit ?
That’s worth more than money you say;
I hope folks will think it is madness,
And not that you really can't pay.
It don’t matter much about me;
But the girls will be so disappointed-
It’s cruel! it is, Mr. B.
The Grays have asked Julia to-Newport;
I worked hard enough, I am sure,
To get her invited last winter;
Must she write new and say she’s too
poor
To buy a respectable outfit? '
What excuse, she can make I don't know,
And it never will do to offend them;
Indeed, Mr. B., she must go!
They move in‘he very best circles;
It’s a chance that she oughtn’t to miss;
I’d never have given that party,
If I’d thought it was coming to this.
Don‘t tell me that coal'shares have fallen!
That’s the way with you—off upon stocks,
Whenever I ask for a dollar,
0r tell you the girls want new frocks.
Seems to me, to be risking your money
In this wsyisvery unwise; .
And if you will do it, why don't you
Invest something that will rise?
You know how we hate thc country, 3
And just because heard there is cheap
To ask us to go there this summer!
Mr. B., I believe you're asleep!

True Love.
Rev. Robert. Colly'er, of omega...” : “I
think the average novel is making sad mil-
chief in the average mind in its pictures
of true love. It makes the tender 810W»
and glamour which related natures feel when ~
they meet, true love. It is no such thing; 1
it is true passion, that is all ; a blessed powe
purely and rightly used, but no morctruc
loveahan those little hooks and tendrils we
see in June on a shooting vine are thc‘rlpe
clusters of October. For true love grows-
out of reverence, loyalty and courtesy,go.od
service given ‘and , taken, dark. soy- sad
bright days, sorrow and joy. It inthcfinc
essence of all we are toyethc. r , and all we do.
True passion comes first, true-love“. ‘ It
is sown in a natural bean-it in Hindi
spiritual body;’ and tit-git is written, “The
first man is of the slink-«earthy, but the
second man is the Lord from heaven-J "
