for the hea,s of drums is said to be made of goat

ancient times and it is curious that from about the
seventh to the tenth century, it was beautiful

ferior, dirty-looking kind of parchment came into
use, which has the appearance of being much older
than the good. The reason for this is supposed to
be- that the writers in these later centuries used
to prepare their own parchment. while at an ear.

in order that they might be used again for writing

Envy, like cold poison, benumbs and
Supplies, ard thus. as if conscious of it's own
impotence, it folds its arms in despair, and
sits cursing in a corner. When it oonquers,
it is commonly in the dark-by treachery and
undermining, by calumny and detraction.
Envy is no less foolish than detestable; /;
it is a vice which they say keeps no holiday
but is always in tho wheel, and working
upon itspsI own disquiet.-Jeremy Collier.

KIEwAY ON Revival Preachers

kIRwAN ON REVIVAL PREACHERS
r ey. DR.. Murray, of Elizabeth, n. J.
b et9er known as Kirwan, has an arti-
Gle IN the New York Observer, of June
16th, on "Revival Preachers"
The men," he says, who exhaust
thei9 sensation sermons, their anecdotes,
and metaphors in two weeks, usually
exhaust the real spirituality of the
Church at the same time.
81 have known great many revi-
val preachers ia the =
Church. An accurate history of the
most CONSPICUOUS Of them would have
its warning lessons for the future.
One IF them at last, was sent to States
prisoa. Another was deposed from
the tainistry, and under an alias went
to the west; where be died. Another
was exposed from the Church, and
diedAn the poor house. And where
there was piety at bottom, which pre-
ventA shipwreck of faith, they became
impesions defamers of their brethren,
and, with scarcely an exception, have
swerYed from the faith; and become
teachers of error. They have unsettled
pastofs--divided Churches
oftensimes, the pulpit by their vulgar
phrases and illustrations, have sown
broadcast the seeds Of error, and have
given rise to a religion of excitement
which is to the steady influence of
Christian principle, as is the scarlet
flush of fever to the uniform glow of
health. Some Of them devoted their
winters to getting up reYiyals, and the
other seasons ofthe year to some world
y pnfsuit. And they made more
money in the winter than Though the
remainder of the year. One was an
evangelist through the winter, and
spent the remainder of his time cultiva-
ting farm--another in selling a re-
ceipt for making compost, The grea-
ter the excitement they would create,
the greater the demand for their servi-
ces; and it was said of one that he
would labor for so much head for all
he would convert! One came into a
little Church, and putting the pastor
aside said he would plow, sow and reap
that field in three weeks. He did so
and added nearly one hundred to its
commitments. 1t has never recovered
from the blow"

LONG OR SHORT SwEETE1NG.-Two
young officers were travelling in the
far west when they stopped 70 take
supper at small roadside tavern kept
by very rough Yankee woman. The
landlady in a calico sun.bonnet and
bare feet: stood at the head of table to
pour out. She inquired of her guests,
ifthey chose long sweetening or short
sweetening +?
The first officer, supposing that "long
sweetening," meant lorg, portion Of
the article, chose it accordingly. What
was his dismay when he saw their host
ess dip her finger deep down into an
earthen jar Of honey that stood near
her, and then stirred the finger round
in the coffee. His companion seeing
this, preferred "short sweetening," upon
which the woman picked up a large
lump of maple sugar that lay in
brown paper on the floor beside her,
and biting off a piece, put it into the
cup.
Both of the gentlemen dispensed
with coffee that evening.

TIE RreHrs OF NAruRALnEp olfi-
vvx,-op one question connected
With the generalization Of foreigners
and their rights in The United States,
o~ve,nor Wise raises a poiut which
,,;ll s.tact some attention. Ii il,
whether, since Congress alone has the
power to 1laturalize foreigners ana 70
make them citizens, any indiyiduasi
State can abridge those rights, as has
been done by Massachusetts, BY deny
inp them ihe same rights Of suffrage
with native citizens. In other words,
whether since, under the Constitution
Of the United States, " the citizens Of
each State shall be entitled 10 all the
privileges and immunities Of the sew
eral States" q naturalized citizen ct
Virginia or Of New York, who is ALSO
a citizen Of the United States, is net
by virtue ofthe clause we have quot
ed, entitled to all the rights of native
born citizen Of either Of those States,
should be emigrato to Massachusetts.
The constitution Of Massachusetts, says
a native-born citizen Of New York en-
igrating to that State may vote after
one years residence, but a na'arnlized
citizen of New york emigrati1g to
Massachusetts can only gain voting
residence by remaining two years.
But the Constitution Of the United
States say, ''the citizen Of each States
shall be entitled TO all privileges and
im,nunities Of citizen of the several
States Hsashiagton States.
