I You can laugh when you please, Of course
/ you caA be happy whea people give you some
thing you want. You are healthy; you are IA
vored; you keep up an equilibrium between
health and disposition: everything goes right
with you; you meet people that you love. and
feel religious. And do rot say word against
all this, but then that does not test you. Go
where there are no meetings, where your duty
is very hard, and where you are surrounded by
many temptations and evil influences; ard then,
fyou have the spirit Of religion it will show
ITSELF And it is at such times that it is most
grateful to the heart of your Master.
The doll is one Of the most imperious neces
si,ies, and at the same time of the most
charming instincts OF female childhood, to care
for, to clothe to adorn to dress, to undress, to
dress over again, to teach, to scold little, to
rock, to cuddle, 70 put to sleep, to imagine that
something is somebody-all the future of wo-
man is there. Even when masing and pratt|ing,
while making little wardrobes and little baby
clothes, " lille SEWN gttle dresses, little bo-
dices, and little jackets the child becomes lit
tie girl, the little girl becomes great girl, the
great girl becomes woman. The first baby
takes the place of the last DOLL Victor Hugo.
Consciousness of being loved gives comfort
and strength and makes trust in God a real, liv
ing feeling that influences the daily life. If
there is no love about US, ii all men turn their
gances of dislike upon US, and close their hands
against u.s. then our hearts grow hard, and we
find it difficult to raise at once, without the aid
OF human steps above earthly pain and desoia-
ton to love and confidence in God; all has a
tendency to become dark above as it is around;
whereas love and kindness Seepour hearts open;
dear, loving people are to US witnesses Of the
love and tenderness OF God-are His angels
whom He sends TO show us that lie has not
forgotten u.s.
The Baltimore American says there is now
approaching completion in that city an in
mense edfice, which will be occupied by the st.
James Roman Catholic congregation. Some
idea of the extent OF this building may be formed
from the fact that it required one million and
eight hundred thousand bricks in its erection,
and it will seat comfortably three thousand per-
sons on the ground floor. The work of fresco
ing is done by priests known as the Redemption
lists, whose principal church is at the corner of
L,nobard and Wolfe streets. The principal
sum required to erect this immence specimen of
architecture was raised by weekly contributions
from members Of the congregation of twenty
five cents each. 1t is one of the most attract.
i've and iInposings buildings in the city.

This is tho way the Pacific railroad is laid at
the rate Of more than mile day: Iron, lies,
&c for one mile, sent in a train as rear h.
end of the track as it can get, and unloaded at
the side of the rails; the ties scattered alon.
by teams, while gangs of men place and level
them; then small, low cars are loaded with rails,
spikes AID chairs, and pushed to the end of the
last rail, when two rails are seized and run off
at the end and dropped in their places; as they
fall others guage them to keep them
at the proper width, while another drops
spikes Mt the cross ties: the little car goes on
and the spike drivers fellow up mailing them
down. Then comes the track s.raighteners
and ballast men, making ia all a procession CT
n mile long, all trained TO know their special
duty, and to do it with will and prom ptness
that knows no failure or delay.
The position Of the Democracy since Lees
surrender is admirably illustrated by the re-
mark Of a historian the condition OF the Eng
lish in the latter part of the 18th century:
"a man after a revolution resolving to do
nothing which is not strictly aceordins TO es-
tablished form. resembles who has lost
himself in the wilderness and stands crying
"Where is the Kings hghway?'
Thus it is with the Democracy. They are
lost in the wilderness ofprej udics and false
struction. Having long lived in the belief that
man was made for the Declaration Of Independ-
ence and the Constitution, now that it has been
demonstrated that those instruments were made
for men, they completely lost in the woods
and keep crying continually, Where is the
Constitution" 1.-THE Constitution permitted
slavery; and where's slaveryg They might
without much fear Of riiiculc add : The Dem
ocraic party was founded on slavery and vheers
the Democratic party?
