Is this a fast, to keep
The larder leaue,
And cleane
From fat of veales and sheep ?

 

Is it to quit the dish
or flesh, yet still
To'fill
The platter high with fish ?

Is it to fast an hour '
Or rag’d to go,
0r show
A downcast look, and scars?

No tis a fast to dole
Thy sheaf of Wheat,
And meat, '

Unto the hungrey soul.

«D

It is to first from strife,
From'old debate
And hate;

To circumcise thy life.

To show a heart griefzrcntl;~~
So starvczthy sin, ' ‘
And that’s to keep thy Lent.

Victoria's Crown.

This-was made by Messrs.Rundcll & Bridge
in 1838 with jewels taken from old crowns,
and others furnished by command of her
Majesty. It consists of diamonds, pearls, ru-
bies, sapphires and emeralds, set in silver and
gold; it has a crimson velvet cap with ermine
border, and is lined with white silk. Its
Gross Wright is '39 oz. 5 pwt. troy. The
lower part of the band above the ermine bor-
der consists of a row of 112 pearls, between
whichr in front of the cr0wn, is a‘ large sap-
phire (partly drilled,) purchased for the
crown by his Majesty King George IV. At
the back is a sapphire of smaller size, and
sixn{other sapphires (three on each side,) be-
tween which are eight emeralds. Above
and below the seven'sapphires are 'fourteen
diamonds, and around the eight emeralds 127
diamonds. Between the; emeralds and the
sapphires are sixteen trefoil ornaments, con—
taining 160 diamonds. Above the band are
eight sapphires surmounted by eight dia—
moods, between which are eight festoo‘ns
consisting of 248 diamonds, In the front
of the crown, and in the center of a diamond

sdn of Edward the Third, called the Black
Prince, by Don Pedro, King of Castile,
after the battle of Najera, near Vittoria, A.
D. 1367. This ruby was worn in the hel—
met of Heu'ry the Fifth at the battle of
Ag'incourt, A. D. 1415. It is pierced quite
through, after the English custom the upper
part. of the piercing being filled by a small
ruby. ,

Around this ruby, in order to form the
cross, are seventy-five. brilliant diamonds.
Three other Maltese crosses, forming the two
sides and back of the crown,have emerald
centers, and contain respectively 133, 114
and 130 brilliant diamonds. Between the
four Maltese crosses are four ornaments in
the form of the French fluer de lis, with four
rubies in the centres, and surrounded by rose
diamonds, containing respectively eighty-five
eighty~six and eighty~scven rose diamonds.
From the Maltese crosses issue four imperial
arches composed of oak leaves and acorns;
the leaves contain 728 rose,table and brilliant
diamonds ; thirty-two pearls form the acorns

moods and one table diamond; The total
number of diamonds in the arches and acorns
is 108 brilliant, 116 table and 559 rose 1dia—_
monds. From the upper part of the arches
are suspended four large pendent pear—shap-
ed pearls with rose diamond caps, contain-
ing twelve rose diamonds, and stems con-
taining twenty-four very small rose diamOnds.

ing in the lower hemisphere 304 brilliants,
and in the upper 224 brilliants, the zone
are being composed of thirtyfihree rose
diamonds. The cross on the'summit has a
rose-cut sapphire in the. center, surrounded
by four large‘brilliants and 108‘ smaller dia-
monds. '

ON mi: PLAZA, SANTA Fs.+Three times a
week the military band plays iii the plaza at
sunset, andI accept the invitation of Gen
eral Edward Hatch, that bracht of cavalry-
men and most genial of gentlemen, to join
him in a cigar at headquarters, and listen to
the music. .The benches on the plaza soon
fill up, and till: portalea thatf‘forni a complete
colonnade over the sidewalks around the
whole square become populOus with pleasure
hunters. It is a tri-weeklyacquaiutaucc day
for the whole town. A' noisy train of long-
horned, thin-bodied oxen, dragging trailed
wagons piled high with freight from the
railway terminus, comes around the corner,
and stops to listen before unyoking for lhe‘
night, the whacker‘s long whip crackinglike
pistol-shots as he lashes his wieldly beast
into position. Half a dozen doukcys,load—
ed with immense burdens of fagots cut in
the foot- hills, are allowed to step their
peregrinations in_ search of a customer, and
make squealing remarks to .the rival burros
of the grass merchant, whose boy is kept
busy with the club in protecting the verdant
cargo. Here approachesian aged parchment

Everywhere are troops} of women; and
just before us one of the acknowledged demi-
monds :sits chatting with a young mother,
nodding to acquaintances, and amusing the
little laughing nut-brown bahe,wil.hout even

far gone indeed before Mexican society
(barring s’ select few).will ostracize her.

Rivers aid in the distribution of plants by
bringing down to the valleys the seeds which
accidently fall into the water. Thus the
southern shores of the Baltic are visited by
seeds whicli’grew in the interior of Germany
and life western shores of the Atlantic by
seeds that generated in the interior of Amer-
ica.‘ A more remarkable fact is that the
Gulf Steam has conveyed to rthe western
coast; of Europe the fruits and seeds of plants
which are indigenous to America in such a
state that they might have vegetated under
favorable conditions of climate and soil.

Among matters of prehistoric'archalology
which of late have attracted attention in
Germany, are the “high-flélds,", or "heatth
fields" where the marks ofancient tillage are
traced on ground now waste in forest-grown.
These resemble the “clfJurrows” of Scot—

Swedish meterologists have furnished ms—
teriel for unlimited speculation by preparing
acatalogue of the auroras seen during the
space of more than three centuries—that’- is
from 1536 to 1878. The 'rfecord shows that

observed on 4,245 nights. c-l '

The life of Mafiuka, who lived some time
at Dresden, is among the most instructive of
ape—biographical, as illustrating the striking
intelligence of the anthropoid. Knorving
how to unlocklher cage with the key, she
stole and hid it for future use; she took the
carpenter’s brad-awl and "bored holes with
it through her own table ; when pour—
ing drink from a jug into her "cup, she would
carefully stop short of bverfilling it. Her
déath had almost human pathos: she threw
her arms around the" neck of the director of
the gardens; Herr" Schopf’kiss‘ed him and
and putting her hand Linihis, laid down and
died. ' fl , ' ‘

‘ The malady commonly known‘as the ch’ol-
era of fowls, is caused by a minute living or.
ganism. In its natural state this organism
is very fatal, but by: agpeculiar mode of cul—
tiire M. Pasteur, theLIf‘rench chemist, claims
to be able .to greatly‘reduce its virulence.
If fowls are inoculatcdwith the attenuated
virus he produces they become sick but very
few die, and those which recover are secure
from the more virulent form of the disorder.
The fatal effects of the cholera of fowls may
thus‘be prevented. M. Pnsteur hopes to be
able to adpot his plan of artificial culture to
all kinds of virus with the result of securing
the means of reducing the severity of all
virulent maladies. '
~ Mining at great depths is attended by great-
er difilculty on account of the heat than is
generally supposed. At fifty feet beneath
the earth's surface it is believed a point is
reached where the temperature is entirely
unaffected by the sun or any external influ-
ence, the temperature of that depth being
consequently uniform in all sections of the
globe (volcanic districts,of course, excepted)

L

dicate fifty degree. Ithas also been shown
by further observation that the temperature
increases at the uniform rate of one degree
for every fifty-five feet of depth, so that at
seventeen hundred feet about seventy-eight
degrees is indicated. This heat is a severe
test of the endurance of the miners, and at
one thousand feet greater depth mining is
impracticable.- According to this rule of in-
crease, the temperature four thousand feet
below the. surface must be not less than one
hundred and tWenty—onc degrees, and at
ten Clousand feet the boiling point is exceed-
ed. 1

 

The Fruit Garden.

In selectinga s'pot fora fruit gardenchoose
a warm place; and as- near the house as pos
sible, lhiit it may be. both, convenient for
gathering, and more secure from tresspass—
ers, '
mellow, and enriched with well rotten nia-
nure. The importance of good BeIcClion of
.varietites cannot be too strongly insisted
'upon. Let the bulk planting be of and
thorOughly tested varieties, rather than of
new and untried kinds.

( -PLANTING.—So'soon as the ground is set-
tled, plant the trees, shrubs, etc., that they
may get an early start, and be well establish-
ed by the time droutiis come. L‘ike animals
much depends on early growth. ‘

BLACKBERRIES AND RASPBERRIES start very
early; and it is best to set: them in the fall,
but very early in the spring will answer. The
canes produced this year, will bear the fruit
the following season.‘

Srnswnnumus.—0ld beds are to be un—
covered. The method of cultivating the vines

considered the most satisfactory.
Gimmes—Every farmer’s family should
have‘iill the grapes they can eat, from Sep-
tember to January. It is not necessary to
have a large vine yard for this; a few vines

each of-the best salts, and properly treated,
‘will give a great amount of fruit. There are
hundreds of out-of-the-way places where a
vine may be set, such as along a fenhe, or it
may be by the side of a shed or burn“; with
good soil, and care in pruning, satisfactory
returns mayibe expected.

 

A New Scriptural Interpretation.

There were two men in a Mississippi regi-
ment, commanded by Colonel Stith of Bal—
timore. One of .thesc men contended that
the scriptures were of divine origin and the
other said they were of human invention,
and asked his opponent, in one of the argu—
ments which they were continually having,
“ifhe believed the story of Jonah and the

Celebrated Safes,

In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your »
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. '

, lst. Our “PATENT INsmu BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them Without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is bethen the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
' 2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks. and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safeimaker’s use three
wheel locks On their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-“Timur. L KS ~on all
safes, from the smallest to the] t, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined.“ in other safes, which
enables us tense the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre—
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity‘our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed, those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides'those
that were successful, and for months chill;
longed our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by .9 doles they would 13in assist us in dem-
onstratihg to the world t. e superiority of our
Slifes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire. so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we beliei ed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
enedthem in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
canvbe produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufactiire several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, Without regard to quality, ' and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptiveeatalogue.

A BIT OF LOGIC.
Baby, Bergyj-sat at'the table, '
0n the great Thanksgiving-day,_

. Gazing down upon the platter,

Where the well browned turkey lay;
Berry’s first Thanksgiving-dinner—
What did all this wee beginner ?
“Don't you like it, dear ?” I said;

Baby Berry raised her head,
Oped her blue eyes big and solemn,
“Docs ’ou link,” the answer spe'd,

“It was wight to kill the turkey .9

Don’t seem Wight at all to me.

Tause—" but our merry peals of laughter
Drowned her words; and shamedly,

This rare-hearted young beginner

Picked at her belated dinner;

Sudden looked, in smiling mood, '

Up from her diminished food,

And said: “I dess t’was wight to kill him,

Or he would’nt taste so dood 1"

‘His Trousers

 

J. n. o.
A good story is told by a member of the

Lotus Club concerning a mishap in the read—

ing room of a Parisian Hotel, during the past
Summer.

Two gentlemen, one an American, the
other a Frenchman, were looking over the
papers- They were sealed by one of the
writing tables, and the former in moving his
arm upset a bottle of ink into the lap of the
Frenchman, who had on a beautiful pair of
white duck trousers, freshfrom the laundry.

Of course they were ruined, and the Amer-
ican attempted to apologize, but the French-
man pale with anger, demanded immediate
payment for them. He was very violent in-
his language, and deuounc our countryman
for an imbecile and a rowdy.

As soon as the American could be heard,
he asked the Frenchman to name the price
of his trousers, and he WOuId-settle for them.

“It must be at once,” cried Monsieur, you
cannot leave the room till I have my money.

“Very well 1 How much must I pay you 1”

“They have cost. me twenty francs and I
will take no less.” '

Here is the money, said the American, as
be counted out the sum named. ‘

The Frenchman counted 1t carefully, put
it in his pocket and was turning away, when
the American stopped him with the remark :
“Here, where are you going with my trou-
sers ?”

“Zey your trousers? zey is not your trou-
sers. zey are my trousers, only you have spoil
zem for me. -

“I beg your pardon, but after spoiling, I
purchased them at your own price, so they
are mine, and I must have them at once, so
hand them over if you please,” answered the
American.

1n vain the Frenchman protested, and ap-
pealed to the crowd of bystanders who were
shaking with laughter. In vain he offered
to go to his room for another pair, nothing
but the prompt deliveiy of the trouses would
be accepted. “They are mine and I want
them,” was all the American would say.

Finally the proprietor was called in, he
summoned a servant to whom the key of the
Frenchmans wardrobe was given, another
pair of trousers were broughtzand exchanged
for the spoiled ones, the latter were sent to
the room of the American who keeps them
as a souvenier, and he considers them cheap
at the price considering the amout of sport
.thcy afforded him. ’ '

 

i ‘ Ventilation.

An illustration of pepular ignorance as to
ventilation is furnished by the Sanitary En-
gineer, and as follows :

A gentleman while attending church one
evening found that his feet were icy cold, so
that he had to raise them from off the floor.
Calling the attention of the Sexton to the fact,
the latter said, with some perplexity:

“Yes, we" have a good many complaints of
cold feet from others; but Idon’t understand
the reason why we can’t keep the church
Warm; we surely have fires enough.”

So saying, he pointed to a registrar in the
floor directly behind the gentlemen in the ad-
joining pew. Looking around the latter could
see that there- was a hot fire in the furnace
beneath, and yet no heat came up. When a
handkerchief was laid over the register it
scarcely stirred. The visitor asked the sex—
ton:

“Have you any means of ventilation P"

“No, sir. " ,

“Are there no Windows open 1"

“None whatever.”

“How then can you expect the air to come
in here if it can't get out somewhere ?"

. There was no reason—the man was non-
plussed. _ .

“Did you ever try to blow in a bottle con~
tinned the inquirer.

“NO, sir.” . .

“Do you think, if you did, that you could
force any more air into a bottle by blowing
than was in it before ?" He couldn’t. say.
Never had thought of'it.

“Well,” continued the gentleman, “you
would soon find out, if you tried, that it was/
impossible,and neither can you force air into
this church through a register if you don't
open a window or some other orifice."
“But," the sexton demurred, “opening a
window would let in the cold air, would'nt
it i" . '

‘ “You just try it," was the response.
“Raise some of the windows on the leeward
side of the church, and see What will hap—
pen.”

It was done, and instantly the handker-
chief lying on the register rose half way to
the ceiling with the force of the ascending
current. The sexton stood and stared in as-
tonishment. ’

 

 

About Norway. I

Not a land flowing with milk and honey;
not a- land. of olive-yards and vineyards, of
southeru'skies and effeminate luxuriance, of
Spanish dances and Italian serenades, of soft
intrigues and quic krevenges that wait upon
life itself. Not a land of fragrant breezes,
where the nightingale sings tohis mate,while
the moon With her train of satéllites in state-
ly dignity rises in the dark blue dome, bath-
ing the earth in a silvery flood, the while
lovers pace romantic ruins washed by a broad
flowing Rhine, or a sterner Danube, or lin—
ger in the bowers on the banks of the soft
blue waters of a Moselle; lovers whose lips
dre silent for a bliss that is filling their hearts
with an emotion for which an eternity would
be too short, and life, alas, often proves but
too long. Not this. But a land of eternal
snows, whose mountain tops are fraught
with a mystery of a silence that is never
broken, where the foot of man never falls;
of gigantic icebergs, of rushing streams, of
grand waterfalls, and mighty cataracts that
seem to increas and multply as you progress
through the country. Aland Which owes
everything to nature and nothing to man;
where ruins are not, and the nightingale’s
song is unheard, and powers of roses may be
read about, but scarcely seen. Aland scant-
1y peopled, but peopled by men and women
honest and fearless, simple and genuine
frank and hospitable—until a day will come
when mixture with the world which seeks
them more and more year, by year, may give
the faults of that world, and take from them
their best] heritage—a single eye, a simple
faith, an uprightuess of purpose rare as
beautiful after 6,000 years of leveling. A
land where railroads are scarce, and travel—
ing long, and laborious; but very pleasant,
A land not tampered by the refined luxury
of the age, the squandering of wealth in
pomp and vanity, purple and fine linen of
stem realities, where wealth is rare, and each
man’s inheritance is laborand toil. Aland
with bright bracing air; a coast iron~bound
and full of wonders. A land that reminds

us in a measure of that city that hath no
foundations, where there is “no night ;" for
here during some portions of the year, the
sun Ynever sets. and darknessfalls not—The
