We walk wrth angels, and we know them
not—
They are so veiled in dim unseemly clay;
They share awhile our toilsome earthly lot,
Then, undiscovered, pass along their way.
When they have left us, and their hands no

Can smooth the rugged places for our feet;
When all their gentle ministry is o’er,
And hushed their voices, full of comfort

Industrial Art.
Philarlt1,;bia'Ielcgram. ' .
There has just been presented to the
Pennsylvania Museum and School of Indus--
trial Art as very valuable and comprehensive
collection of specimens of industrial art
workmanship, which is now on exhibition.
The donor is Mrs. Bloomfield Moore and the
collection is designed as a memorial of her
late husband, Bloomfield Moore, and will be
known by his name. The objects have been
purchased from time to time by Mrs. Moore,
who has spared neither pains nor expense to
obtain valuable specimens ; and the result is
a collection which very adequately repre-
sents many branches of artistic manufacture,
and which in many particulars is one or the
most important, most valuable, and most
instructive in:thc country. The collection
includes ceramics of various countries and
eras, cabinet-work, ivory carving, Roman
and Florentine jewelry, laces, fabrics of va-
rious sorts, ancient glass of various manufac-
tures, illuminated missals, Hook bindings in
wood and metal, and so forth.
The objects are .arranged in the east gal-
lery of Memorial Hall, and the room, as one
enters it, presents a truly splendid appear-
ance, although the eye is quickly attracted
from generals to particulars, so numerous
and so interesting are the beautiful objects
of various sorts and descriptions. The ori-
ental pottery and porcelain is displayed in
three large cases occupying the east side of
the ,hall, with plates arranged in the inter-
spaces.
With few echptions, the specimens are of
old Chinese, and illustrate every phase in the
ceramic history, of that remarkable nation.
As a‘collection it may safely be asserted that
this has no superior in the country with the
exception perhaps of the Metropolitan
Museum at New York, 'nor is there any
possessing specimens 0f greater excellence
and beauty. The first case on the north side
contains a series of admirable specimens of
the early “Celadous” and old “blanc dc
Chine,” together with an unusually full
selection of the old'Chinesc plain colors,—
red, blue, yellow, and green—“splashes.”
crackles, and many other gorgeous varieties
of color, not a few of which date back to the
Ming period, A. D. 1434—1647. In the first
compartment devoted to the “Celadons” and
“Old White” are several very fine specimens
In the middle compartniént of this case are
grouped the plain colors and “splashes.”
Central and prominent among these pieces
stands a large crimson “splash” vase of the
color known by collectors as “sang de bauf,”
a large turquoise bottle, and five yellow vases
of varying shades from a pale lemon to a
vivid orange, forming an ensemble indescrib-
ably gorgeou’ and attractive. Among the
pieces specially deserving of notice are a large
green and black vase and a bottle of the Ming
period. ,
In the middle case, which is devctzd to
the polychrome; porcelain ofiChina, are the
older specimens of the Ming dynasty, all of
which are very curious and valuable. Includ-
ed among them are many specimens of the
famille cert, which is also illustrated by two
large plates hung in the interspace between
the cases. ' ‘
In the adjoining ~compartment are some
exquisite groups of rose teapots, and bits of
famine rose, donstituting a wonderfully fine
collection of such objects. Particularly de-
serving of notice is a small' and exquisitely
designed teapot raised on a stand. In the
last compartment are fine examples of
chocolate brown of the 1 late : Keen-Lung
period. I .
The southernmost case is filled with ad-
mirable specimens of old blue and white.
Some very fine specimens too large to go in
the _'cases, it may be mentioned, have been
placed on the tops. These pieces are par-
ticularly worthy of the notice of the visitor.
Amoug'the pieces on the tops of the cases
are some remarkable and brilliant examples
of the late Ming period. The last com-
partment is filled with blue and white Delf
pottery of great interest to the connoisseur.
,On theothcr side of the room is some very
rare and curious spccimens of Dresden china
and the manufactures of the most celebrated
European potteries, including several spec.
linens of early “Bottscher,” groups of
figures, Old Vienna, Carl Theodore cups and
saucers. In another case are specimens of
all the different Wedgewood wares, some
fine specimens of Italian majolica, Italian
and German-glass, old and very fine poly-
chrome Delf, German Cologne ware, English
beer-mugs, and so forth.
, The centre of the room is occupied with
cases containing Chinese enamels, a very fine
collection of articles of virtu and bricea-brac,
including ivories,cnamc1 suut‘fboxes,watches,
Palissy ware, ivory pomanders, laces, and so
forth.
Among the specimens of cabinet ware are
Norwegian monogram chests, Italian and
German buffets and cabinets, and Florentine
chairs. These are of very fine workmanship
and nearly all of them are covered with elab-
orate carvings.
' In addition to the articles mentioned the
collection includes a number of fine oil
paintings by Schreycr, Cloyes, R. B. Brown-
ing, Bertrand, Gabriel Luppe, and others.
A well-executed portrait of Mr. Moore oc-
cupies the place of honor in the Centre of the
east wall.

A Romance Ended.
NEWPORT, May 16.-——llliss Abbie Taylor,
'who died Saturday of pneumonia a few
days after burying her aunt in New York,
was told, a few hours before her_ death, by
her physician, that recovery was impossible.
At onpe she proceeded to write invrtatipns
to her own funeral, breathing her last just
after finishing the last invitation. Miss
Taylor was a wealthy New York girl who
became engaged forty years ago to John_C.
Phillips, a poor sailor. The latter soon died
of consumption at Newport after being
nursed several mOnths by his berothed.
The lady, stunned by the blow, lay for weeks
in a critical condition, refusing to return
home and spent her life within a few rods of
the grave of her lover, daily strcwing the
same with flowers. For fifteen years after
the death of her lover she showed her devo-
tion to the dead by nursing his invalid sister.
She spent the balance of her life alof from
society as the friend of the poor and unfort'
unate of the city.

agination weishall scarcely find materials for
this work. Weannnot find language suffi-
ciently glowing and graphic to do justice to
the subject. Yet, though We fail in the
effort, our time and labor will not be lost, if
we may but impress upon those who have
been guilty of this sin, the immeasurable
terpitude of this malignant vice, and lead
them to set their faces, as a flint, against
it. Slander, in the common acceptatiou of
the term, is false accusation, or a malicious
aspcrsion of the character. The Scriptures
define it as “evil speaking." This is the
The Savior charges Satan with being the
_ author and originator of slander. Lying (he
says) is of the Devil who was a liar from the
beginning and the father of it. Slander is
the enemy of all goodness; hence the vir-
tuous and the good have in all ages been the
peculiar objects of its venom. Slander is
the product of a wicked disposition and a
corrupt hearts—It is the offspring of false-
hood, malice, cnvy and pride. It is essential
wickedness—embodying all the most malig-
nant and deadly elements of sin. It displays
the spirit of evil in all its power and malig-
nity—in its power, to blast the tender buds
of virtue, its malignity to poison the foun-
tains of peace and happiness. Slander is the
outpouriugs of a. malicious spirit, the drop-
pings of a foul, infectious tongue which falls
like mildew upon the soul. It is the poison-
ous breath of a fiend~the fire of hell, which
inflames the tongue and sets the w‘orld on
fire. It is the upheaving of a mind consum-
ed with passions; restless as ever-burning
craters, sending forth from its boiling entrals
those fiery streams which blight and consume
an that is fair and lovely. In ,. the slanderer
we find what we should scarce expect to find
in any person—the coincidence and concen-
tration of all evil qualities—pride, envy, hy-
pocrisy, treachery, malice and cruelty. Such
a compound of the vices does indeed need
some disguise to conceal its loathsomeness
and deformity. It would not be tolerated
in an enlightened community, were it seen in
all its detested qualities and frightful enor-
mities. To whatever we may attribute this
delusivc itch for evil speaking, whether to
mischief, a love of gossipping, or to an en-
vious, jealous temper impatient of merit' and
superiority in others—whether to vile ambi-
tion or insatiate lust—to which of these
causes we attribute this loathsome contagion,
true it is, its growth and progress is as
injurious as it is disgraceful to a civilized
people, To rob innocent ' people of their
character and good name—a jewel which
they may highly prize, and which they would
hazard everything to secure—to rob innocent
persons of peace, we say, and all out of mere
capricc and wantoness and often from worse
motives, is such a perversion of the noble
powers of the mind, as cannot fail to excite
the deepest disgust, and incur the heaviest
censure. Numerous arc the vehicles employ-
slauder and often the impression is so subtle
and skillful that it can onlybe discovered by
its cfiects. ‘ There are more private and
secret ways of wounding anothers’ happi-
ness or reputation, as well as those which are
more open and public. Strange as it may
seem, the poison of slander is often convey-
cd by the mere expression of the counts;
sauce, or by certain significant gestures well
known and understood. Who can tell ‘what
injury has been done by a scornful loss of
the head, or a mysterious whisper? The
effect has been like the stroke of the basilisk,
or the sting of the scorpion. The mysterious
looks and simpering speeches of some
'wretched gossip—the spasmodic fits of hor-
ror into which the righteous sometimes fall
the holy grimaces, sour looks and petulant
zeal of the o'verrighteous—all of these have
a powerful sympathetic influence, and are at-
tended with most pernicious effects. ’I‘hus
fruilfuldn expedients is slander; thusit vents
and disguises itself. Thus does it lie in
nation or open demowration, malignity
silently diffuses its venom and works the
ruin of thousands. Who can successfully
guard against such a subtle and covert
enemy? Who can detect the formidable
evils which may lie in ambush? Slander
does not confine itself to this covert and
silent mode of attack, but embodies and dis-
plays itself more fully in words, in language
known and read of all persons—yea, she fills
her mouth with lying words. If so much
mischief and malice are couched in the varied
expressions of the countenance, what evils
dire must flow from the open and unblushing
scandals of the tongue, subject to no caution
and governed by no restraints! If the for-
mer resembles“the arrow which fiieth by
,night" and “the destruction which walketh
in darkness,” this is “the pestilence which
wasteth at noonday,”——sweeping all before
it, and levelling 'without distinction,’thc good
and the bad. The first form of slander we
mention under this head is whispering, to
which reference is made in Scripture. This
consists in speaking of one’s failings in
private. This is generally done in a confi-
dential way, to snne particular friend; thus
the story creeps along, and spreads like an
infection, till the public mind is irremcdiably
txintéd; Backbiting comes next in order;
the thing explains itself; Perhaps more have
suffered in their reputation by backbiting
than by public accusation. Against the lat-
ter we may arm ourselves; but being igno-
rant of the designs of the backbiter, we are
taken unawares. Talebearing is a more open
form of defamation. The talebearer is a
grand carrier of news for the information of
the curious and the gratification of the mall-
cious. The whisperer, the backbitcr and the
talebearer, are among the most odious and
mischievous characters in the community,
and they should be abhorred and shunned as
a pestilence. The grossest form of slander
is that of raising and spreading false and in-
jurious reports. This is the most common
and perhaps the most malignant form of
slander. It would require a volume to de-
lineatc this master vice—to trace its serpen-
tine course, and describe its manifold opera-
tions” Like a ravening fiend, it delights in
reading and touring its victims, and subjects
them to the tortures of a lingering death.
Such is slander—a monster in form, in shape,
in disposition and in deed ; a loathsome, un-
sightly thing, ruled by a spirit whose malig-
uity is equalled only by its ferocity. Her
tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity; it is a
vast receptacle of evil, into which streams of
evil thoughts and unruly passions are con-
they are poured forth upon the community,
spreading ruin in all dircctions.’ “She sleep-
cth not except she have done mischief, and
her sleep is taken away unless she cause some
to fall.” She numbers the midnight hours,
devising mischief, or nightly by her horrid
forge she stands, fabricating lies. , Now she
may be seen wcnding her way in silence,
whispering in the car of night, and peopliug
solitude with strange fancies and forms of
hidden evil; now following, with stealthy
steps, in some good person’s track, and shoot-
ing in the dark; now, in babbling mood, and
carrying her tales from door to door; now
surrounded by a gaping throng, tickling their
cars with strange stories of evils done or im-
agined, or filling them with line most in-
famous and improbable; now she is seen
cringing and fawning in presence of the great
and powerful,. flattering their vices; now
dallylng with the young, feasting their imagi-
nations with obscene pictures; now sighing
and simpering in the ears of female gossips,
who start and stare at her strange recitals;
and now she is seen riding on the posting
winds, belching all the corners of the world.
Peace flees the neighborhood in which she
makes her haunts, and before her breath the
healthy shoots and blossoms of social joy
and happiness decay. The pleasure of de-
traction, the effusion 0f gossip, .by which the
peace of so many families is destroyed, so
many ties of friendship broken—these are
not only derogatory to the christian charac-
ter, but extremely vicious. Anoble spirit
seeks nobler employment. The Christian
delights only in what is consistent with her
dignity and her high destiny-in what is
innocent and pure. Alas! that those profess-
ing the religion of Christ and called by his
meek and lowly name, should ever be :seen
tearing in pieces the characters of their
nei hbors, with the eagerness of bloodhounds
an the rapacity of tigers. Yours.

other evening at a lecture delivered by Dr.
A. M. Collins on the West Side, in the mis-
sion under the management of the noted Ben
Hogan and his estimable wife, which‘to say
the least, is a strange coincidence, one which
is well worth recording.
That the readers may fully understand
and appreciate the lesson of this singular
circumstance, it will be necessary to go back
several years" and relate a little history
connected with Dr. Collins’ professional life.
While he was practicing:medicinc in Cath-
near Cincinnati, he became the family phys-
ician of a Mr. C. 13., who at that tim‘é was
the honored and trusted treasurer «of the,
Methodist Book Concern. He was recog-
nized as one of the very best busine men
in that large and influential institution. He
had the fullest confidence of all who knew
him, as is evident from the responsible posi-
tion which he held. He had beautifui
family, and Dr. Collins says his wife was one
'of the most excellent Christian women in all
that region. His homc was pleasant and
amply supplied with all that heart could
wish. Hclvseemed to be devotedly attached
.to his wife and children, 'and provided ev-
erything necessary for their comfort and
happiness ; and he was also proud of his po-
sition, as well he might be, and aspired to
even higher honor in the house in which he
already held so high a position.
' His personal appearance was that of a. per-
fect gentleman. He‘ was a bright and inte-
resting conversationalist and a man of no
small amount of acquired as well as natural
ability. A devoted husband and a fond and
affectionate father. His dress was always
neat and tidy and every way in kEepiug with
his position and associations, social, secular
and religious. In fact he was. regarded as
one of the safest and best business men "of
Cincinnati, as well as a typical Christian
gentleman, and a more honest man, so far as
money matters were concerned, it would be
impossible to find. ‘
Such was 0. E. only six or seven years
ago. ‘
But there is another chapter in the life of
C. E. which is in striking contrast to the one
just recorded. In his early life he had
cultivated, a love for strong drink, and by
constan tly feeding that appetite—by drinking
moderately, as many call it—the appetite
grew upon that upon which it fed, until fi-
nully, at last the appetite, and ,not C. E. was
the master. The balance is quick told. He
lost his position, a drifted down from his
former heights ahd to-day is a drunken sot,
spurned [by his family, shunned by'Society.
and almost abandoned of ' both God and
man. ' .
The other evening while Dr. Collins was
lecturing in this city at the place before
mentioned, he drew a picture of this identi-
cal case, though mentioning no names The
desoiipuon of this terrible downfall brought
tears to many eyes—eyes not used to weep-
ing. When he had. concluded, a man came
towards him from the audience, poorly
dressed, his eyes blood-shot, his face bearing
the unmistakable marks of debauchery.
He was quivering as if on the very borders
of delirium. He grasped the doctor’s hand
and-said: “Dr Collins do you know me P"
“I have seen, you sir, somewhere,” said the
doctor. “My name," said the man, is “C.
E." This, Dr. Collins, is all there is left of
me. I came to this city,hoping to straighten
up, and you can see what a condition I am in
tonight. I left home drunk, and as God is
my judge, I have no where—to lay my head
to-night.” The doctor could hardly make
himself believe that the wretched, trembling,
drunken bloat before him was his old friend,
C. E., but so it was, for there was enough
left of his former self to establish identifica-
tion, beyond doubt. 'When the doctor was
describing his case he did not know that the
man was in the city, indeed, be supposed he
was in Cincinnati.
He further said to the doctor, “I want to
reform, but I am in no condition to talk to
you to-‘night.
ing before him its temptations and op'por.i
tunities for gratifying that appetite which" .
has proved stronger than the love of position
stronger than the love of home, stronger
than the love of wife and children, strong-
er than the , awful warnings of the word of
God? _ 7
'There are many who have fallen, who,
viewed from a human stand point, are
scarcely worth saving—after saving them
you have not much for your pains; but here
is a man of culture, of oble sentiments, of
a kind and tender heart ad of excellent bus-
iness talents, Cannot the good people of
Chicago do something to save this man?
He does not need moral suasion, he needs
forcible removal from these temptations and
close confinement until he can come to him-
self. . ' .
An effort should be made at once to get
him into the Washingtonian ,Home, and
keep him there till his reformation is com-
plete. ' ’
Dr. Collins has reported his case to Y. M.
C. A., and it is to be hoped that something
will be done for his relief.
What a lesson this is to those young nfii
who are to-day toying with this treacherous
appetite! , Young men, read in the sad re-
cord C. E., your own inevitable future, if
you: ntinue to tamper with this dangerous
enemy of man.

SCIENTIFIC lilSCELLANY.
Dr. Luys is credited with the statement
that Brown Sequard once injected the head
of a dog, after being separated from the
body, with defibrinated and oxygenated
blood, and the moment when the injection
of this blood had recalled manifestations of
life he spoke the dog's name. The eyes of
the head thus cut, from the trunk turned
toward him, as if. the master’s voice had still
been heard and recognized.
In someinterestlng experiments 'Dr. Lic-
bcnbcrg has shown that,thc presen cc of lime
in the soil is absolutely necessary for the
germination of many plants, while many
others do not seem to require it at all.
The Central Bureau of the weather service
of France, receives daily ninety-seven tele-
grams from foreign parts, and fifty-two from
France. From these telegraphic reports the
weather prbbabilitiesjare calculated for eight
agricultural and four maritime districts, to
which warnings are telegraphed. Eighty-two
per cent. _of the predictions thus sent out have
been justified. ,
The question of the ;existence of earth-
tides, . or oscillations of the earth's crust,
corresponding_to thosejproduced in the sea
by the attraction of the' moon, is being in-
vestigated by a British commission. A
pendulum is so suspended that the slight'est
motion turns a mirror and causes the point
of light reflected by it: upon a distant screen
to move very perceptibly. The pendulum
is proved to be in continual change of posi-
tion, for the motion of the reflected light is
incessant, and so irregular gthat it is hardly
possible to determine its mean position on thé
screen within five or six inches. -
The French physiologists Perrier and
Poirier have found that, properly speaking,
star-fishes have no blood circulation at all, as
what has hitherto been supposed to be the
heart in these animals is simply a gland.
It has been noticed that wines, especially
when hard and acid, are improved in flavor
by the passage of an electric current through
them. The electricity is claimed to have the
same effect as age, mellowing the wines by
the decomposition of the bitartrate of pot-
ash.
The electric light was used in a recent
search for three persons who had lost their
way in an attempt to ascend a peak of.thc
Alps. The use of the light was not succesful,
but the idea seems to have been a good one,
and in many similar cases might serve to di-
rect the wanderers.
The tensile strength of glass has been
showa to be between 1,000 and 9,000 pounds
per square inch, and the crushing strength
between 6,000 and 10,000 pounds per square
inch. By trials a short time ago, M. Trau-
licnie found that flooringgglass one inch
square {and one foot between the end sup-
ports, break under a load of one hundred and
seventy pounds.
A large fortune of several million francs
was left by M. Henry Gifford, the eminent
engineer, who recently died at his home in
Paris, to the French Government for use of

Camels live from 40 to 50 years; horses
average from 26 to 30; oxen, about 20; sheep
8 or 9; and dogs, 12 to 14. Concerning the
ages attained by non-domesticated animals
only a few isolated facts are known. The
East Indians believe that the life-period of
recorded of these animals having lived 130
years in confinement after capture at an un-
known age. Whales are estimated to reach
the age of 400 years. Some reptiles are
very long-lived, an instance being furnished
by a tortoise, which was confined in 1633
and existed until 1753, when it pcrispcd by
an accident. Bird’s some times reach a great
age, the eagle and the swan having been
known to live 100 years. The longevity of
fishes is often remarkable. The carp has
been known to live 200 years; common river
trout, 50 years; and the pike 90 years, while
Gesner—a Swiss naturalist—relates that a
pike caught in 1497 bore a ring recording
the capture of the 'same fish 267 years be-
fore. Insects ‘are short-lived, tusually com-
pleting the term of their existence in a few
weeks or months. Some even perish within
a few hours after emerging from a grub
state, and die _on the very day of entering
upon their new life. .As a general rule, not
to be applied soo closely, larger types of an-
imals live longer than smaller.
Two microscopes—called the "‘Jumbo”
and the “Midget"——formed an interesting
exhibit at a recent meeting of a London so-
ciety. The former instrument, probably
made about half a century ago, was four feet
and'a half high and weighed 125 pounds;
while the “Midget,” fully equipped for work
had a total height of only four inches, and
weighed but a few ounces. Six of such
closed in the eyepiece of the large one.

Rummy, Rummy, Ram.
Mollie hada little ram as black as a ru bbcr
shoe, and everywhere that Mollie went he
emigrated, too.
He went with her to church one day-the
folks hilarious grew to see him walk demure-
Iy into Deacon Allen’s pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his angry
passions rise, and gave it an unchristian kick
between the sad brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle ;,the deacon
followed fast, and raised his foot again ;alas!
the first kick was his last.
For Mr. Sheep walked slowly back about
a rod, ’tis said, and ere the deacon could re-
treat, it stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose and went for
that ’ere sheep. Several well directed butts
just piled them in a heap. 7
Then rushed they straightway for the door
with curses long and loud, while rammy
‘ struck the hindmost man and shot him throuh
the crowd. .
The minister had often heard that kind-
ness would subdue the fiercest beast. “Aha! ”
he 885". “I’ll try that game on you-”
“And so he‘kindly, gently called: “Come,
rammy, rammy, ram; to see the folks abuse
1'00 50, I grieved and sorry am."
With kind and gentle words he came from
that tall pulpit down, saying: “Rammy,
rammy, ram—best sheepy in the town.”
The ram quite dropped its humble air,and
rose from 011 its feet, and when the parson
lit he was beneath the hindmost seat.
As he shot out- the door and closed it with
a slam, he named a California town; I think .
’twas “Tuba Dam.”
