DISCOVERY OF ILLINOIS.

In 1878, James Marquette, with five
Frenchmen as companions, and two Indians
for guides, set out from Canada and after
a tedious journey, reached the great I" Faith

"with joy that could not be expressed"

ling from its bosom with tufts of massive
thickness between the broad plains of Hi
nois and Iowa, all garlanded with majestic
forests and checkered groves. After de-
scending the Mississippi for about sixty
leagues, they discovered an Indian trail,
and unhesitatingly left their canoes to follow
it. After walking for some six miles, they
came to an Indian village, whence four
men advanced to meet them, offering the
pipe of peace, their calumets "brilliant
with many colored plumes," and speaking
to them in language which Marquette
understood: :" We are in Illinis; )" that is
GIVE are men," How beautiful is the
sun, Oh Frenchmen, when thou comest to
us our village awaits thee: thou shalt en-
ter in peace all dwellings," After staying
with that hospitable people for while,
Jas. Marquette and his companions further
descended the Mississippi river, until they
were satisfied of its flowing into the Gulf
of Mexico, when they returned, and reach
ing the 35th degree of north latitude,
entered the Illinois river and followed it
to its source. The tribe of Illinois Indians,
which occupied its banks, invited Marquette
to remain and reside among them But

labyrlnthine passages, every moment dis
cernlng some new beauty and tracing some
fresh resemblance to familiar objects in the
delicate forms which nature has slowly

apartments, however, which will live the
longest IN my memory. One called the
''Shell Room" has ceiling of stalactites
shaped like shells, and of the most exouis
ite purity and brilliancy. The effect of
these as the light falls upon them is remar
kably pleasing. Another, a room some
fifty feet in length, is of different char
acter, and, although called +" Washington's
Hall, its prominent feature is about as
suggestive of the Father of his Country, as
Is the Greek Slave of the LAGOON. The
sides are lined with stalactites like pillars

A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

"Some folks say it is right to drink alcho
hol because it is good creature of God
Well, grant that it is $3.50 is castor oil,
and so is vinegar good creature of God !;
but that is not a sufficient reason for per-
son to drink it three or four, or dozen of
times day A dog is good creature of
God-but suppose dog goes mad and bites
man or woman, would you let him
alone, because, as you say, he is good
creature? Would you be satisfied with
cutting off his tail, or would you knock
him on the head and pitch him in the
street? Now alchohol is more than mad
dog; for a bite from a mad dog only de-
stroys life, while bite from alchy destroys
reason, reputation, life and everything else,
besides dragging down the family of the
bitten man to poverty and want.
"Bnt alchy dosen't bite mouthful at
first. When he first snapped at me he on
ly tickled me little | liked it first rate,
and was anxious to get another bite The
old rascal of tyrant kept ribbling at my
heels as though he didn't mean to hurt me,
while / like fool, kept coaxing him on,
till at last he gave me snap in earnest and
took the elbows out of my coat Next he
took the crown out of my hat, the shoes
off my feet, the money out of my pocket,
the sense out of my head, till at last |
went raging mad through the streets, per-
fectly victim to alchy-phobia-but sign
ed the pledge and got cured and if there
is any man here who has been bitten as I
was, let him take this teetotal medicine and
I'll warrant him speedy cure.
"But allowing alchohol is good creature
of God, are there not other creatures, too,
such as beef, pork, puddings, pies, clothes,
dollars and fifty others of the "same sort ?"
Now, shall a man drink whiskey because it
is good creature, and go without good,
handsome wife, and good well-dressed chill
dren? No stree As for me, give me
good beef and pudding, good pork and
sausage, good friends, good clothes, and
good wife and children, Cor rather than
miss, will try and make them good) and
king alchy may go to Texas, for all [ care
Some say that wine is good creature
because our Saviour once turned water into
wine.
"Very well; but then he didn't turn rum,
gin, logwood, coculus indicus and cock
reaches, into wine, as some people do. He
turned water into wine. Now, if any
wine bibbing apologist will take gallon or
a barrel of pure water, and by praying
to frstrate wine, I'm the boy as will go in

lQSE1llAN u ROUS,
A VISIT TO WEYER'S GAVE IN
VIRGINIA.

1
HALF century ago, Bernard Weyer a
hunter of Virginia, discovered the cave
which bears his name 1t lies seventeen
miles northeast of Stauuton, and the road
which leads to it is well worth travelling.
We rode over the route towards the close
of delightful day. The same peculiar
tiles that attract the strangers attention
while travelling through Virginia-the
quaint log houses with chimneys of stone
built entirely outside of the main strue-
ture, the cabins for the negroes, the dilap-
itated buildings and fences, the listless ap-
pearance Of the nhabitants-were obseiN-
able along the road The flowers, so mark
ed feature in the Virginia landscape from
spring to autumn, were blooming in great
variety. The rhododendron, with its clus-
ters Of purple blossoms, the delicious wild
honeysuckle, the scarlet wood lily, the
sweet brier-almost the only familiar flow
ers to my Northern eyes-the wild coral
bell, and a score of others, whose names
know not, but whose beauty and perfume
added a welcome charm to the attractive
ness of the scene, were scattered in great
profusion along the roadside.
There is very comfortable inn near the
cave, kept by the proprietor of the wonders
we seen on the morrow. 1t stands in pic
turesque valley, among a cluster of hills,
and near rushing stream, and its appear
ance suggests an American copy Of Swiss
chalet. So at bed time, | fell asleep listen
ing to the babbling of the water, and try
ing to fancy myself in the little inn at Arm
stag, which nestles among higher noun
tains, and has large river to lull the
traveller to sleep, But when, at an intol-
erably early hour the next morning there
walked into my bedroom very black young
woman, with cropped head and the very
whitest OF teeth, who chuckled out the in
formation that it was time to get up and
| enter the cave, realized that | was not
under the shadow of st, Gothard, but in
the United States of America, and partic-
ularly in the Ancient Dominion of Virgin
la.
The entrance to Weyer's Cave is on the
side of hill which slopes towards the lit
tie river, and commands view of great
natural beauty You toll up the steep as
cent, pass through wooden entrance, take
candle in your hand, bid good bye to the
daylight, scramble after your guide through
low, narrow passage, and find yourself in
the cave. In the absencs of the regular
guide, it was our privilege to be escorted
by colored youth of singular sobriety,
who had not the remotest idea of his own
age, and who yawned frightfully in the
most impressive localities during our sub
terranean journey. Ho proved to he thor
oughly acquainted with the winding ways
of the cave, and gave the fanciful names
Of the different stalactites in the most
elaborate and artistic manner.

A HOME THE HEART.

Oh ask not a home in the mansions of PRIDE
Where marble shines out in the pillars and walls;
Though the roof be of gold it is brilliantly cold,
And JOY may not be found in its torch-lighted halls
But seek for bosom all honest and true,
Where love once awakened will never depart;
Turn, to that breast like the dove its nest
And you'll find there's home like the heart
OH link but one spirit that's warmly sincere
That will heighten pleasure and soace your
Find a soul you may trust as the kind and the just
And be the wide world holds treasure so rare.
Then the frowns of misfortune may shadow our loss
The check-searing tear drops of sorrow may start,
But star never dim sheds halo for him
Who turn for repose 10 a home in the heart.

Death Of Russian Lady from GLanderS.-
The awful death of Madame Palesikof, one
of the most charming amongst all that bevy
of charming Russian ladies who sometimes
gladden. the winters of Paris, has created
terrible shock amongst the circles she so late
ly embellished by her presence. The unhap-
Ply lady left Paris but short time ago on
summer tour to Germany. While stepping
from the door Of the opera house at Berlin,
to gain her carriage, she let fall enc of her
bracelets close to the pavement. STOPPING to
pick it up, she noticed at the time, laughingly,
that " one of the horses belonging to a cat
riage standing at hand had dropped his head
so close to her face that he had touched her,
and left moist kiss upon her cheek" In 8
few days the unfortunate lady was taken i'll
with that most horrible disease CHAMBERS, and
in few days more breathed her last, in spite
of the attendance of the first physicians of Ber
lin, and every resource to be obtained by
wealth or by the ceaseless vigilance Of friends.
