An old lady " contributor to the JEFF
teTson (Texas) Times thus discourses
abuot the uses of tobacco 10 churches:
I should say 1t is not "mock mod
esty" that forms the barrier to a wO-
mans escort sitting with her, but to-
b1GeO juice Only-that, and nothing
more. Ia the parlOr men generally have
the decency to leave tobacco bshind !;
but in church they feel no restraint, aud
such a sight as the floor presents is sim
ply disgusting We need go no further
for a solution OF the subject 30 long as
men chew tobacco in church, and speW
amber over the floor, and ladies wear
long sweeping garments, they cannot sit
in company.
L would like to reach the ear OF every
mother Ia Texas, and say to her teach
your little boys and girls to hate tobacco
in every form while they are infants
while mothers word Is law with them
its use is a disgusting practice, that
works no good, but often leads to more
habits"

RELIGIOUS.

Lord Rr0ugfiauI's FaF0Ffte hymn.
The following hymn was sung very
often at the request of Lord Brougham,
in the English church at Cannes, France,
and was his favorite. 1t was the hymn
sung at his funeral. The words are given,
and the sin ging Of 1t, it is said, always
produced in him visible emotion. And
what, do our English readers think, was
this hymn? No sother than 9 Scottish
paraphrass with which Henry BrBugh-
sm had been familiar in his childhood.
These paraphrases were collected by the
Church of Scotland just about the time
he was born, Ia st. Andrews square.
Edinburg, and were read and admired
ia all families, eonned in the schools, and
sung In the churches. Who can doubt
that little Henry had often repeated this
same paraphrase on Sundays at his
mothers knee, an excellent and admi-
rable woman, the niece OF Principal
Robertson, the historian THAT he had
often heard it resounding through the
arches Of st. Andrews church, to the
grand ancient tunes, st. PauPs, or Mon
trose, or the Martyrs? Long, long years
rolled between-years OF proud science,
OF vaulting ambition, Of debates like
thunder storms, of passions like those of
LlSety Oi HoEAuly Intrigue WSIluiy VICE
perhaps, perhaps also seasons Of incre-
duiity, of indifference to the spir-
itual instincts in man. Then be-
bold the SHOWS OF nigh ninety
winters lightly sprinkled over that still
firm, massive head look into those eyes,
still meteOric with something OF their
former wild fire, yet sOftening now, ana
brooding as the great era of mortal
change approaches. See the terrible or
atoT, at whose voice Senates have tren-
bled, sitting quiet and benign in the little
chapel at Cannes Hear the choir uplift
their voices, strengthed by the devotion
breathing organ. L1, the great old lord
at Cannes becomes again the child of st.
Andrews square the angels Of his youth
are whispering in his aged ear:
Let not your hearts with anxious thoughts
Be troubled or ii mayed;
But trust in providence divine,
And trust my gracious aid.
I 70 my fathers house return;
There numerous mansions stand,
And glory manifold aOOunds
Through all the happy land.
20 your entrance 10 secure,
and your abode prepare;
REGIONS unknown are safe TO you,
Whsn 1, your Friend, am there.
Thence shall 1 come, when ages close,
To take you home with me;
There we shall meet to part no more,
And still together be.

The EniEhls Of Malta.

The Knights, or HOspitallars Of st.
John, afterward known as Knights OF
Rhodes, and finally called knights of
Malta, was military religious Order, es-
tsbiished about the commencement OF
the Crusades.
As early as l04S, some merchants from
Amalfi, in Naples, being struck with the
misery to which the pilgrims were ex
posed on their road to the Holy Land
obtained permission Of the Caliph of
Egypt TO erect church and build a mo-
mastery near the site of the Holy 5epul-
chre at Jerusalem, which they dedicated
to St. John the Baptist They enter
tanned all pilgrims that came for devO-
tion, and cured the diseased among them.
They became eminent for their devotion,
charity and hospitality. 81. John the
Baptist being their patron, they were
called Brethren Hospitailers Of st. John
the Baptist Of jerusalem, to distinguish
them from the Knights Of the Holy Sep
ulchre. They tSOk the black ksbis Of
the Hermits of st. Augustine, and on the
left breast wore 8 cross Of eight points.
''In war they wore crimson, with
white cross, but IN their monasteries and
on the day Of their profession, the black
garment only" s ..-=

What If there should be resurrection
Of that which has been buried In looking
glasses? Little children's faces, anxious
mothers, budding girls beginning to sus-
pect their own beauty, vain and giggling
looks, grave and sad looks Of those who
hate to grow old, vexed looks of those
who have cut themselves in shaving,
timid and anxious looks of those who
have been sick, double images of lovers
glancing upon the sweet picture of their
embrace, prim aud prig pedants touching
up their gray whiskers, and covering
their badness with the few stray locks
yet left, simple and wonderful look Of
curly and woolly PhilIis, whose honest,
hOmely face, is Just as dear to her as il il
were atra's.--NorO0od.

Old hundred.

In recently published sermon, that
eloquent and sympathetic divine, the
Rev. Robert COllyer, Of Chicago, says
that "Luther took the grand measure
we know as Old Hundred, from the bal
lad music of the peasants of mis- time"
AS this idea respecting this magnificent
piece Of music, though very common, is
erroneous, IL may be worth while TO state
the truth respecting it. II was not de-
rived from ballad music, but appears to
have been compiled from the Gregorisn
chants. There are four of these old chants
in existence, from which the words of
"OId Hundred" may be made up. Iis
compiler was pot Luther, but most pro-
baby William Franc, who furnished the
music TO the Geneva Psalms," pub
lished in 1864. In that publication the
tune 10 question was contained. It was
originally known as the O1s Hundredth
Psalm. Thence its present title.-NesO

Some Of the nearest approaches to the
perfection OF q WOm1n's nature have
been made by maiden aunts. Aud they
reach this high emiBsnee without brush
~ 3 eff the blOona OF their n1odesty by
Ostentsti0us displays o. their self-s4cri-
fees. They pursue their high calling
without noise, almost without being
aware that they are moving in sn eX-
slted sphere. Their tbougb5 is not o.
spectators. They ssk not the scclsms-
tions Of the worid Their eye is not in
tent upon their reward. Ia their work
they 6nd their motive and their wages.
They live in their sympsthies and walk
10 the sunshine Of thsir own brOad-dif
fused love. Perhsps this Is ere reason,
moreover, why maiden aunts, IL they
have fairly cultivated their own minds,
are go interesting IN social life. They have
generally At their command fund OF
diseDgeged feeling which they Sre ready
10 bestOw upon affairs outside their own
circle. The habit Of caring for what is
not especially their own prompts them
to give 3 livelier heed TO what Is passing
around them. They often acquire rel
len for affairs which their married siS-
ters delegate entirely to their husbands,
brothers or sons. They take 3 more Vi
vacious interest in what concerns the
well-beiDg Of society, in books and sys-
TENS, in public movements and events,
in matters Of srt and tssse, in knowl-
edge Of persons and things beyond do
msstic limits. As companions, they
cCmmO1ly possess q much wider area
over which thought and sympathy can
be ELECTED in conversation, are less re-
served, less preoccupied, less engrossed
by immediate and urgent responsible
are at liberty for present exercise and
momentsry enjoyment, aBd like diffused
warmth, can make their genial Influence
felt over Sn extended surface. We look
upon maiden auntship as blessed insti-
tuition, and were all who enter il worthy
OF It, society would give it pre-eminent
honor and distinction.
