from our house-upon that point Rosa was
quits, satisfied; but then the puzzle was how it
should be done; and, in the midst of this irres
olution, all at once an idea arose in her mind,
whether the Professor-why could she not ven.
ture to place the whole matter, as simply and
in as favorable a light as possible, before the
old man, and ask his advice, or give him the
money, to make all right again. 1t was quite
an article OF faith with her, that no one would
be more likely to keep a secret than Professes
Ling.
Rosa thought about the old gentleman 81
day; How she finally made up her mind, We
shall discover in the next chapter.

BAYARD rAYLoR's NEW BOOK.

We gave brief notice two weeks ago of
BAYARD TAYLOR's new book of Travels in In
da, China, and Japan. 1t deserves more ex-
tended notice, in place of which, we substitute
the following extract from the work ITSELF which,
by its rare interest and beauty, will do more
than the most laudatory criticism to awaken
the curiosity of the reader. Mr.. Taylor's jour
ney through India is full of interest, and his
opinion is decidedly, though not unquali6edly,
favorable to British rule. The East India Com
pany is, like corporations generally, thoroughly
selfish, and its exactions upon the natives are
exorbitantly cruel; but, in this particular, it is
not SO bad as their native rulers were, while it
preserves peace and order, and is doing much
In other respects to improve the condition of
the people. He hopes to see the dominion of
England in the East extended.
He was not pleased with China thinks the
people the most degraded in the world, and de-
clares that their studious perversion of taste.
and love of deformity, are enough to produce
madness in cultivated European or Ameri-
can. 1t is to be remarked, however, that he
only saw Shanghai and Canton, and that while
they were threatened with civil war. Perhaps
tour through the interior, and to the north.
ern part of the Empire, might have left more
favorable impression.
His visits to the Loochoo Islands and Japan
were more satisfactory. The scenery is every
where grand and beautiful, and the people far
more respectable and interesting than the Chi
nese.
The description of the Tai Mahal, monu-
ment to Moslem Queen at Agra, in Northern
India, which we subjoin, will convey to the
reader an idea of the splendid remains of for.
mer magnifcence, which are everywhere scatter.
ed over that ancient seat of the arts.

"D0sT THOU LOVE ME, MASTER 2"

Saviour, from the Bonded sky
Watching still above me,
Hear my sad and earnest cry,
Glove me, Master, love me-"
on when darkness wells thy face,
Hidden TO reprove me,
In the night speed my pace,
Master, wilt thou love me,
Pierced with shorns, Thou ssy'st, am I,
Take thou one to prove thee.
Many thorns, dear Lord, l cry,
Love me, only love me.
Toll, and pain, and grief, and sin,
Naught of all could move me,
Might hear Thy yea within,
Crying, " Dost Thou love me!n
Bruised, stricken, faint and weak,
How could'st Thou approve me,
Hiding in Thy heart, seek,
Love me, Master, love me.
On Thy tender. faithful breast,
Might il then behoove me,
Panied head and heart to rest,
Love me, only love me-
Likeness to Thy beauty give,
In the heaven above me,
Joy that forever live,
Thou, dear Lord, wilt love me.

tanned that in Birmingham, England, not less
than one thousand ounces of fine gold are used
weekly, equivalent to some S900,Q10 annually
and that the consumption Of gold leaf in eight
manufacturing towns is equal to five hundred
and eightyfoar ounces weekly. For gliding
processes not less than ten thousand ounces Of
gold are required annually. A recent English
writer states the consumption of gold and
silver at Paris at over l8,000,00O of francs.
At the present time, the consumption of fine
gold and silver in Europe and the Uuited States
is estimated at 100000 annually.

great tragedian, which We do not recaIlset har-
ing seen in print. 1t occurred in the ua,,n,y
days Of his fame, before the sparkle n bis
great black eye had been dimmed by that bane
Of genius, strong drink. Booth and several
friends had been invited to dine with an old
gentleman In Baltimore, Of distinguished hind

lighted, and the company re-sea,ed in tba
orawngfoom, some one requested Booth -.
particular favor, and one which all slnraae,,t
Touio doubtless appreciate, to read aloud the
Lords Prayer. Booth expressed his williny-
ness to afford them this qualification, and All
eyes we're turned expectantly upon him. Booth
rose slowly and reverentiy from his chair. III
was wonderful to watch the play of emotions
that conyulsed his countenance He became
deadly pale, and bis eyes turned trembIipeIv
upward, were wet with tears. As yet, he had
not spoken. The silence could be felt. It
became absolutely painful, until at last the
spell was broken, as # by an electric shock, as
his rich toned voice, from white lips, synabIed
forth, e Our Father, who art in Heaven :, etc.
with apathos and fervid solemnity that thrilled
all hearts. He finished. The silence continued
Not a voice was heard, nor muscle moved

study and labor for thirty years, and am far
from being yet satisfied with my rendering Of
that wonderful production. Hardly one person
in ten thousand comprehends how much beauty,
