PEouIIAmrIEs OF CHINESE RELGIous
BELIEF. lit would appear that the Ia
ouists, Buddhists, and Conmeian phil
osophers and priests all bring their re-
ligion Of the present day down to the
focus Of ancestral worship, or tributes
due TO the dead. "They believe in the
existence Of two worlds, one the world
of light (China) and the other the world
of darkness, in which men live after
death" "They all believe that there is
chance Of evading their just deserts
in both worlds; for they cannot con-
ceiye of any higher degree Of prescience
on the part of the authorities Of that
world than that they are illustrated be-
fore their eyes by the acts Of the au-
thorities in this.
According to the Chinese, "a man
has three souls; one in the head, one
in the chest, and one IN the lower ex-
tremities. When a man is dead he is
in a position to ayenge himself of all
the injuries of which he may have
thought himself the subject > Hence
the large contributions Of din celestial
money!, by all who feel that the dead
has aught against them. "Ihe priests,
the interpreters, and agents of the
Gods. like the mandarins of this world,
are ever on the alert for an opportuni-
ty to squeeze the rich" Yet they only
propose to extricate tho unfortunate
Chinese in purgatory from present
suffering; therefore, to smooth the road
in the dark, their constant cry is give!
give until ones worldly riches arc
wasted IN the futile task.
A man who has had his head cut of
is past all praying er spending money
for. unless his friends can secure the
head again and stitch it to the body IL
this world, so that ho can make re-
spectacle show in the next. "They
suppose that the dead, who have no one
to sacrifice to them. are wandering
about in forlorn condition, like beg
gars seeking for means of support anc
comfort.
1t is estimated that $780, 100000 are
expended annually i'll ancestral worship
If the Taouist system is not an offspring
of it, it is only an adjunct to the wor
ship of the dead
With reference to the Fung-Shuy
wind and water, the position of the
Chinese dwellings,, public buildings anC
graves are particularly selected to avoic
a rorth frontage and favor southern
one. From the north comes death
evil from the south life good Fung
Shuy. Every boat and junk carries
its fender from the evil Fung-Shuy
in the form of brush attached to
staff and placed about the stern of th,
boat" "On level land certain tree
are regarded as good tenders 70

SOUND DOCTRINE In sermon deliv-
cred by Rev. DR. Bellows, Of New York;
is the following paragraph:
"For my own part, say it is in all
solemnity, have lived TO become sin
cereIy suspicious Of the piety Of those
who do not love pleasure in any form.
/ cannot trust the man that never
laughs, that is always sedate; that has
no apparent outlet for those natural
springs Of sportiveness and gayety that
are perennial in the human soul know
that Nature takes her revenge on such
violence. Iexpect TO find secret wees,
malignant sins, or borrid crimes spring
up in this hot-bcd Of confined and inn
prisoned space; and therefore, 1t gives

War Is sru1 ? Many people may
deem the question easy 81 answer Int
IL is really not 30. II was long accepted
"a iruiHln 10 the art " science II met
allurgy that steel is simply a carbide ot
iron. the former element being present
ia the compound 10 the extent of from
one 10 one and half per cent. This
chemical definition is now quite super
seeded. Steel has become genoric term
and Of the genus steel there are various
species. Ordinary steel is carbon steel
but stcely compounds of iron have been
produced which have the same general
properties as ordinary steel, the carbon
a which is replaced, either in whole or
IN part, by other chemical element Thus
we now have tungsten steel, IN which
the metal tungsten IL combined with
the mon; magsnese steel containing the
metal maganase: and other steels con-
tanning chromium and tltanlum. In the
cases lust mentioned the steel is inva-
rible a compound Of iron with other
metal; it is in short an alloy. Other
species or varieties, however, contain
non-meta,lc bodies as the steel-gener-
ating material. Carbon is ono Of these
elements; aud therefore it is but nat
ural to suppose that such elements as
closly resemble il in their chemical
proprieties will be the most likely serve
in its stead Silicon, or, as some mod
ern chimists call it, silicium, the basis
of silica or flint, is one OF the nearest
chemical relatives of caron. The
French chemist, Caron, has made silicon
steel. Then there is the element born
full cousin, as it were, to carbon and
silicon, the basis of ordinary borax.--
Steel has recently been madein Glasgow
of most extraordinary hardness ano
cutting power, when used for tools II
turning operations. In one instance
| the tool did thirteen times the amount
of cutting work of any ordinary tool o
carbon steel The process of making
this new steel is at present kept secret
but there is reason TO believe that is II
boron steel Other varieties OF stee
besides exist. The material OF which
the celebrated Berlin castings are made
is phosphorus steel, and many Swedish
cannons are made of sulphur steel

The Power OF MOTHERS LOVE
Infinite wisdom and goodness
has planted in mothers bosom
a mothers love, and given hsr great
strength to endure great tolls and snf-
ferings in times of trouble, TO benefit
and bless her children, as the following
history will show:
among the lofty deeds and daring
high, which stamped the early years Of
our country as its heroic age, Iwell re-
member reading a thrilling incident
which occurred in Vermont--an incl
dent which | have often called to mind,
as an admirable illustration of the gi-
gantic power of mothers love when
summoned to such a terrible emergen-
cy. A family consisting of the parents
and eleven chi dren, whose place ofres-
idence was distant outpost, were one
day surprised by the fierce war whoop
Of a party of Indians; and ero escape
could be effected, the murderous toma-
hawk was brandished over the heads
Of the defenceless household, and cru
ely bathed in the fathers blood. The
children were then secured as captiyes,
and the yictoriol rs band were soon on
their way to their forest homes, leaving
the afflicted mother behind, as not
worth the trouble Of taking. But her
affections were too closely twined
around those dear to her, to suffer
them to be thus snapped in moment
and though somewhat advanced in
wears, she determined to rescue hel
children from the cruel death that
awaited them, or share herself the tor.
lures and their death. She followed
the Indian trail as they disappeared
ia the wood; and when at length they
encamped on the banks Of river, sh'
breasted its troubled waves, and stand
ing before her enemies, begged tina
one little child might be spared to her
The Indians gave it to her in derision
for the sake of witnessing her strug
giles in conveying her burden over tht
wide and rapid stream. Joyfully thu
mother took the recovered, and buffet
cd the waves, till her precious burdel
was placed on the opposite shore. Blu
the yearning Of mothers heart wa
not thus easily to be satisfied. AgaiI
she crossed the stream, and again suet
for little one; and for the same rea
son her prayer was granted And thu
this heroic mother struggled and but
fetted with the waves, time after tims
till she had borne away the last Of he
precious charge, and placed him saf
on the other side. And what will no
mothers lore accomplish ? Wha
task is so severe-what suffering so in
tense-what risk SO daring, as TO def
her inyincible ardor, or TO repress thu
gushing springs Of her affection whs
a beloved child is TO be saved from dis
grace, or rescued from sutferingS"
