FooSooa ny t1o CALy Couucu, Ine WOrKmen, under
the direction Of the COMMITTEE, have been lately
engaged in improving the public grounds This
is particularly noticeable in the Upper Wards, for
the Mall had degenerated into an menclosed com
mon, liable to the depredations Of the mum erous
COWS who are to be found in that section.
It is the intention OF the authorities to reclaim
this square if possible, and they design fencing it
IN, furnishing it with seats, setting out trees and
edecting a general change. The first steps to-
ward this have been taken, and the laborers were
employed yesterday in digging up some Of the
trees in Aikens Square, in order to transplant
them to the Mall. Aikens Square was, perhaps
the only public park that did not suffer during the
war, being surrounded by strong iron fence that
Kept cattle at defiance, and the trees, shrubbery
&c grew up vigorously. The removal Of some Of
these trees will not affect the appearance Of this
square, and being already grown, they will add
greatly to the looks Of tie Mall
1t would have been, perhaps, a wiser policy to
enclose the Mall before these trees were trans-
planted, for it is c place where cattle love to
roam," and they are not particular whose trees
they bark. But any innovation upon its present
forlorn and muddy state will be appreciated by all
who live in that vicinity; and planting trees is a
sure index that other improvements will soon
follow, and the Mall be again pleasant resort in
stead OF dreary waste. It s next to the Battery,
the largest Park in tho city, and will repay any at
tention bestowed upon it by encouraging q spirit
OF emulation in the citizens, who will never allow
the Conscript Fathers to beautify their property
without endeavoring to rival them, and the result
Will be that the northeast section will soon blossom
as rose.

Moral and Religious.
The Last of the Samaritans.

In that same valley of Palestine where Abra-
ham and his grandson Jacob built their affairs
to Jehovah, and where some sixteen centuries
later the Saviour talked with the women of Sa-
maria by Jacobs Well," the last remnant of
the sect OF Samaritans numbering only about
forty families, is now rapidly dwindling away.
traveller, who has recently resided three
months among these unmixed descendants of
the best blood of Ancient Israel, assures us that
as regards their dress, manners, social customs,
religious rites and other tribal peculiarites, they
are the fac siaile of theirancestors of thousands
of years ago. They have never intermarried
with any other race, and claim to be the true
"sons of Joseph" whose tomb is In their val
ley. 1t is said that to observe their domestic
life is to live in Biblical atmosphere and to re-
turn to the days of the patriarchs. The law is
read to them from Gerizim, as is was read to
their forefathers from the same sacred mountain
as early as the days of joshua and along the
base of Mount Ebal camels wind their way, car
rying on the traffic between Jerusalem and
Galilee as it was carried on in the era of the
Evangelists. From 1906 until 1916 the Sa-
maritans were prevented by the Mahometans
from celebrating the Passover on Mount Geri-
zlm but twenty years ago, through Christian
intercession, the privilege was restored to them.
Their days are numbered, but the history and
traditions will cling to the VALLEY of Shechem'
as long as time lasts. The Greek Church has
purchased the Well of Jacob and filled its mouth
with stones, preparatory to erecting a temple
over it. 1t would have been in better taste to
leave it as it was when the patriarch watered
his focks there, and as it remained when the
Holy Founder of the new dispensation drank of
its sweet water" The few surviving Samari-
tans are said to be worthy of their lineage and
of the ancient fame of their sect-upright, be-
nevolent and remarkable for their physical beau
ty and their lofty bearing Their surroundings
are so solemn, that they could scarcely be other
wise than poetic people Tabernacled under
''City of Refuge and with the TO rock ' of the the
| Holy Place, the stones set up by Joshua, and
the spot on which Abraham prepared his son
| Isaac for the sacrifice, close at hand, we may
| well suppose that these noblest specimens of the
Hebrew race pass their lives in sort of religious
ecstacy, in which the comparative degradation
| of their present condition is forgotten in the
contemplation of a miraculous past

A Beautiful Sentiment.

Shortly before the departure of the lamented
Heber for India, he preached sermon which
contained this beautiful illustration:
Life bears us ON like the stream of a mighty
river. Our boat at first glides down the mighty
channel-through the playful murmurings of
the little brook and the windings of its grassy
borders. The trees shed their blossoms over
ouryoung heads the flowers seem to offer them
selves to the young hands; we are happy in
hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauties around
us, but the stream hurries on, and still our hands
are empty. Our course in youth and manhood
is along deeper and wider food, among objects
more striking than magnificent. We are ami
mated at the moving pictures and enjoyment
and industry all around us we are excited at
some short-lived disappointments. The stream
bears us on, and our joys and our griefs are
alike left behind US. We may be shipwrecked,
but we cannot be delayed; whether rough or
smooth, the river hastens on till the roar Of the
ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the
waves is beneath our feet, and the floods are
lifted up around US, and we take our leave of
earth and its inhabitants, until of our future
voyage there is no witness save the Infinite and
Eternal"

Deep on the convent roof
The SHOWS are sparkling to the moon;
My breath to Heaven like vapor goes;
May my soul follow soon.
The shadows of the convent towers,
Slant down the snowy sward,
Still creeping with the creeping hours,
That lead me to my Lord
Make thou my spirit pure and clear,
As are the frosty skies,
Or this first snow-drop of the year,
That in my bosom lies.
As these white robes are soiled and dark
To yonder shining ground,
As this pale taper's earthly spark
To yonder arpent round,
So shines my soul before the Lamb,
My spirit before Thee;
So in mine earthly home l am,
To that hope to be.
Break up the Heavens, Oh LordI
And far through all yon star light keen,
Draw me, Thy bride, glittering star,
In raiment white and clean.
He lifts me to the golden door;
The flakes come and go.
All heaven bursts her starry floors,
And strews her lights below;
And deepens on, and up the gates
Roll back, and far within
For me the Heavenly bridegroom waits
To make me pure from sin.
The Sabbaths of Eternity
Are Sabbaths deep and white;
A light upon the shining sea-
The bridegroom with his bride.
