Lost Arts.

While we boast of superior knowledge,
and assume to. ourselves the position of
being wiser inyvarious species of improve
ment, and especially in the mechanical
arts, it would be well to keep the truth
on our side. and learn that there are
some exceptions to this fact In regard
to colors, we are far behind the ancients
None of the colors in the Egyptian paint
ing of thousands of years ago, are in the
least faded, except the green. The Ty-
rian purple of the entombed city Of Pom
peii is as fresh to-day as it was three
thousand years ago. Some Of the stuc-
co painted centuries before the christian
era, broken up and mixed, revealed its
original lustre And yet we pity the ig-
norance of the dark skinned children of
ancient Egypt. The color upon the walls
of Nero's festical vaults are as fresh as
if painted yesterday. So is the Egyp-
tain prince who was cotemporaneous with
Solomon and Cleopatra. at whose feet
Caesar laid the riches of his empire
And in regard to metals, the edges of
the stones of the obelisks of Egypt and
of the ancient walls of Rome, are as if
hewn but yesterday. And the stones
still remain so closely fitted that their
seams laid with mortar cannot be pene-
trated with the end of penknife. And
their surface is excessively hard so that
when the French artists engraved two
lines upon an obelisk brought from
Egypt, they destroyed in the tedious
tasks many sets of the best tools which
could be manufactured. And yet these
monuments are traced all over with in
scriptions placed upon them in olden
time. This, with other facts of strik-
ing character, proved that they were far
more skilled in metals than we. Quite
recently it was reported that when an
American vessel was on the shores of
Africa, a son Of that benighted region,
made from an iron hoop knife superior
to any on board the vessel, and another
a sword, of Damascus excellence, from
piece of iron. Fiction is very old
Scptt had his counterpart two thousand
years ago. A story. is5told of a warrior
who had no time to wait for the proper
forging of his weapon, but, seizing it red
hot, rode forward, and found to his sur
prise that the cold air had tempered his
iron an excellent steel weapon! The
tempering of fsteel, therefore, which was
new to us a century since, was old two
t'.ousand years ago: Ventilation is deem
ed a very modern art. But this rs not
the fact, for apertures unquestionably
made for the purpose of ventilation are
found in the pyramid tombs of Egypt.
Yes, thousands of years ago, the bar
barous pagans went so far as to venti-
late their tombs, while we scarcely
know how to ventilate our houses

The Bible In China.

The occupancy of India by the En-
glish was long since followed by the
introduction ofthe English language and
letters. But the Bible was left untouch-
ed. The natives were curious enough
to learn the language Of the foreigners,
but kept steadfastly to their own sacred
books. A Bengal paper is now advo-
eating the use of the Bible in the gov
ernment schools. 1t thus endorses the
Holy Scriptures
''The best and most excellent Of all
the English books, and there is not its
like in all the English language. Az
every JOINT Of the sugar-cane, from tho
root to the top, is full of sweetness, so
every page of the Bible is fraught with
the most precious instruction. A portion
ofthe book would give you more Of sound
morality than thousand treatices on the
same subject. In short, if any person
studies the English language with view
to gain wisdom, there is not another book
which is more worthy of being read than
the Bible"

The Valley of Jehosophat.

The efforts the Jews have made, and the
sutferings, losses and humiliations they hav
borne, for the purpose of obtaining a sep
ultire in the Valley of Jehosophat, form a
singular feature in human history. Noother
nation has thus struggled, not to live in their
own land, but to be suffered to Law their dust
therein. Many descriptions have been made
OF this marvellous place but | confess that
none Of them ever afforded me notion Of
ITS actual appearance Wandering alone
past the fountain of Sloan, and by the
arid bed of kedron, it suddenly opened on
me perfect mountain of graves, a hillside
paved with sepulchral slabs. Each stone is
small-so small, as to lead to the conclusion
that the bodies must be buried perpendicu-
larly. AT all all events, if the multitudes
there inferred were simultaneously to arise
they would form crowd as dense and as
compact as 1t would be enormous. Short
Hebrew inscriptions (some evidently OF
great age) are on all the stones, and these
are laid together with intervals only of a
lew inches, as in our Oldest churchyards.
The slabs are almost on the level Of the
ground and of equal height, so that it is
literally one large pavement of death-an
appalling, almost an overwhelming sight.

WHENE'ER meet an orphan boy, say
Within my heart Lord bless this desoiate
child,
And be his guide in all his heavenward way;
Oh, bid the winds to this lone one be mild,
And burning suns to gently beam on ihim
Let lowering clouds make not his pathway dim
May stony ways be soft beneath his feet,
And bitter waters to his taste be sweet -
A waif of heaven cast upward by the sea
On this drear shore, how pitiful his lot
Nay heavenly watchers bear him company,
And help and cheer him, though we see him not

How to Tell a Lady.

Two women shall get into an omni-
bus, and though we never saw one Of
them before, we shall select you the
true lady. She does not litter when
gentleman, handing up her fare, knocks
off his hat, or pitches it awry over his
nose nor does she receive her "change,"
after this (to him) inconvenient act of
gallantry, in grim silence. She wears
no lowered brocade to be trodden under
foot, nor ballroom jewelry, nor rose
tinted gloves; but the lace-frill around
her face is scrupuously fresh, and the
strings under the chin have evidently
been handled over by dainty fingers
She makes no display of watch if she
wears one; nor does she draw off her
dark, neatly fitting glove to display os-
tentatious rings. Still we notice, nest
ling in the straw beneath US, such trig
little boot, not paper -soled, but of anti
consumption thickness the bonnet on
her head is of plain straw, simply trim
med, for your true lady never wears
"dress ha," in an omnibus. She is quite
as civil, to the poorest as to the richest
person who sits beside her, as equally
regardfil Of their rights. IF she at
tracts attention, it is by the unconscious
grace of her manner, not by the osten
tation Of her dress. We are quite sor
ry when she pulls the strap and disap
pears, if we were bachelor we should
90 home to our den, with resolution
to become a better and a-married man.

TnEDAN1sH ARMY.-It is doubtful wheth-
er the losses suffered by the Danish Army
since the outbreak of the war with Ger
many, have ever been par&lleled looking
at the strength Of the Army when it accep-
ted the guage thrown down to it. The
estimates are various as, to the numbers
of the Danish force, including the volun-
teers that have taken up arms in defense
of their country. But the regularly discip-
lined force of the kingdom-the army
proper-does not appear to have exceeded
35 900 at the commencement Of hostilities.
The official reports, then, show that half
this force has disappeared in the bloody
conflicts. from Flenshburg to Duppel, and
Viele. In short, the Danes have lost 16,-
473 men, including 500 officers, besides
467 guns. The continuance Oft the unequal
war at such sacrifice cannot be permitted
by the intervening powers.

Thus is Life.

We may be sure, if we die to-day the

will sing as sweetly tomorrow. Busi-

and the great mass will not bestow

will be the solemn inquiry of few, as
they pass to their work. But no one will
miss IT'S except our immediate connexions;
and in a short time they will forget us,
and laugh as merrily as when we sat be-
side them. Thus shall we all, now act
