SCATTER THE GERMS OF THE
BEAUTIFUL.

Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
BY the wayside let them fall,
That the roses may spring by the cottage gate,
And the vine in the garden wall;
Cover the rough and rude of earth
With a veil Of leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march Of summer hours.
Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
In the holy shrine Of home;
Letthe pure, and the fair, and the graceful there
In their loveliest lustre come;
Leave not lace oi deformty
In the temple Of the henrt,
But gather about its hearth the gems
or Nature and OF Art
Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
In the temples Of our Cod
The God who starred the uplified sky.
And f1owered the trampled sod;
When He built temple for Himself,
And home for His priestly ruco,
He reared each arch in symmetry,
And curved each line in grace.
Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
In the depths Of the human soul:
They shall bud and blossom and bear the fruit
While the endless ages ages roll
Plant with the flowers Of charity
The portals OF the tomb,
And the fair and pure about thy path
In Paradise shall bloom.

Louis Napoleon and the Temporal
Power of the Pope.

The question whether the late pamphlet
which has appeared in Paris, taking
grounds that the temporal power OF the
Pope ought TO be restricted 10 the city Of
Rome, and that good policy required that
he should abdicate bis sovereignty over
The rest Of bis domhions, spoke the SEN
timents of Louis Napoleon, is yet unde'
cided. 1t has created great sensation
in Europe. The Paris correspondent OF
the New York Tribune thus speaks OF it

ski and required straightforward
answer, whether the pamphlet was the
expression OF the Imperial policy or not.
Count Walewski at once replied that his
feelings were shocked by the very idea
that the subversive proposals OF an anon
ymous writer could be taken for the pro-
gramme of his policy, and he assured his
illustrious visitors that be never would
give his assent to any such eccentric plans
as TO reduce the temporal power OF tho
Pope TO the confines Of Rome. The
Prince and Archbishop retired upon this,
quite satisfied with Count Walewski's deo-
laration, but still uncertain whether the
Coun! really knew the Emperor's mind'

on the story of the boy Mortars. But mol

that little drama by his presence, he even

the actors, gave considerable uneAsineSI

a Sectional President on Secession.

Jefferson, it is well know, was elected
President, on DO h occasions, by an al
most exclusively Southern vote. The
Louisville journal thus refers TO his point
ed rebuke, in advance, OF what the De-
mocracy now propose, in case Of SINH
lar triumph OF the North:
When Democrats talk OF secession in
the event OF the election OF The Republican
President, they do injustice to the patriot
ic injunctions which Thomas Jefferson
gave to the country in his Inaugural
speech, on March 4th, 1901, He spoke
of the contest Of opinion through which
the Union had then just passed, its anima-
tion OF discussion and Of exertions; which
had sometimes worn an aspect which
might impose on strangers unused to think
freely, and to write what they think, and
said: "But this being now decided by
the voice Of the Union, announced accord
ing to the rules of the Constitution, all
will OF course arrange themselves under
the will OF the law, and unite in common
efforts for the public good" Again as
TO divided opinions as 10 measures oi sale
ty, Mr.. Jefferson placed on record these
noble truths: "But every difference OF
principle. We have called by different
names brethren Of The same principle
We are all Republicans; We are all FEEDER
alists. If there be any among us who
would wish to dissolve this Union or to
change its Republican form of Govern
ment, let them stand undisturbed as mon
uments of the safety with which error o.
opinion may be tolerated, where reason il
left free to combat it,

Silver.

Half a century ago, the annual produce
ton of silver, SO much as comes 10 the use
of Atlantic nations, was estimated at
$50, 800, 900; with no material deviation
in the average in the meantime, the an
nual yield is now S44.O00,u00. Silver is
flowing to the East with great rapidity -
NJ. Chevalier. in his recent work. states
the following facts: From the books Of
an English navigation company, it appears
that in 1856 this company carried direct
from England to Asia. $50 900, 900, and
in 1857, $94, 900, 900 in silver. In 1851,
the quantity shipped through the same
channel was only $8.5oO,ooo. There
was sent to the East from the Mediterra-
mean ports in 1856, $4,000. 900. II
goes eastward through many other chan.
nels, but the two items given above fol
1857 amount TO more than double the an
nual supply that comes TO our part Of the
world. The Chinese and all the barba
rous nations Of Asia demand silver. In
the British Empire OF India, silver alon G
is the legal tender; and new market il
now opened for the same metal in japan
How extensive a market this last viii
prove to be, cannot yet be known; but the
Japanese will aid in draining silver from
Europe, TO the exten. Of whatever gold
they now possess.-Amsriean Merchant.

Union Sentiments in South Carolina.

On account Of the locality where it was
delivered, the following extract from a
speech Of Wade Hampton, spoken in the
Senate Of South Carolina, or the 10Th Of
Der, will attract the attention Of our
readers !:
No human foresight can predict the
consequences that would follow a dissou-
ton of this Union. The ark Of freedom

The Birthplace of BENJAMIN West.

A correspondent OF the Patterson Guar
dian, writing from Westdate, Pennsylvania
says:
''Yhe old house in which the eminens
painter, Benjamin West, was born, attracts 0
greater number of visitors than any other
relic In Delaware county. The building u
located near the old Springfield road, about
four miles from the Delaware river, and
within a short distance of the limo of tho
Westcbester and Pennsylvania railroad. lt
is situated in the center of large estate.

of the building. There are two windows m

Proportions of the Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are strictly mathematical. The whole
figure is six times the length Of the foot.
Whether the form be slender or plump,
this rule holds good. Any deviation from
it is a departure foom the highest beauty
Of proportion. The Greeks make all their
statues according to rule. The face, from
the blgnest pvi.s Vf .,he forehead where
the hair begins, 10 the end Of the chin, is
one tenth Of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the end Of the
middle finger, is the same. The chest is
q fourth, and from the nipples TO the top
Of the head is the same. From the top
Of the chest to the highest point Of the
forehead is seventh. If the length Of
of the face, from the roots Of the hair to
the chin, be divided into three equal parts
the first division determines the point
where the eyebrows meet, land the second
the place Of the nostr:ls. The navel il
the central point Of the human body, anc
if a man should lie on his back with hi
arms extended, the periphery Of the cir
Gle which might be described around hin
with the navel for its centre, would toucl
the extremities of his hands and feet
The height from the feet to the top Of th
head, is the same as the distance from
the extremities OF the other when th
arms are extended. These are genera
measures Of the species.

A NOBLE SENTIMENT. true

A NOBLE SEETIMENT.--Some true
heart has given expression to generous
nature in the following sentiment:
"Never desert friend when enemies
gather around him-when sickness falls
on the heart-when the world is dark
and cherries is the time to try a friend.
They who turn from the scene OF distress,
betray their hypocrisy, and prove that
interest moves them. II you have a
friend who loves you and studies your
interest and happiness, be sure to sustain
him in adversely. Let him feel that his
former kindness is appreciated. and that
his love is not thrown away. Real fidel-
ity may be rare. but it exists in the heart
Who has not seen and felt its power:-
They deny lis worth who never loved q
friend or made friend happy"

ARTISAN WELLs.-The deepest bored
we'll in the world is at Mondrof; it is 2, 200
feet deep, and still progressing; its waters
are 95 degrees Fahrenheit-within three
degrees OF blood heat. The well Of Gre
nellie, at Paris, is 1874 feet deep, mostly
through chalk bed. lts temperature is
72 degrees, Fahrenheit. 1t discharges
go barrels Of water per minute, and rises
so feet above the surface. 1t is difficult
TO account for the rise of water in these
bored wells; inclined strata Of rocks hav.
ing a source higher than the issue, Is gen
orally supposed to be the case; but water
is as readily procured on high as low
lands. Condensation OF steam, and the
great pressure from central heat, has also
been suggested.
