THE WASHINGTON MoNUMENT.-The granite pedes-
tai for the Washington monument was hauled to the
front OF Independence Hall yesterday afternoon.
The largest piece weighs about ten TONS and with the
marble statue the top, will stand 21 feet high.
The pedestal is OF the finest Richmond granite, ike
the costly and beautiful Washington monument in
that city, The pieces which arrived from Richmond,
Va, were landed at the Pennsylvania Central Rail-
road wharf, and hauled from thence to the State
House. The pedestal is from the quarres at Rich
mOnd, Va, owned by the Richmond Granite Com
pany, composed of several enterprising Phade-
phia gentlemen, who are working the quarries on a
large scale, and we understand that the company
have thus far been quite successful The cheapness
OF labor in that locality with the fine quality Of their
stone gives them great advantages. The markets at
Norfolk, Washington and Baltimore are naturally
very convenient for these quarries and this market
is being supplied with large quantities also. This
company have made extensive improvements on
their large and valuable wharf, at the foot of South
street, Schuylki, and it gives evidence of increasing
business in that direction along the river 'front.' The
company have recently closed contract with the
Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company for the supply
OF all the granite that will be needed for that I'M
portant work. We are pleased to see this additional
evidence of the enterprise OF our lellowcitizens.

Sleep on mine ownl its a blessed thlng

This beautiful spell of rest
To thy heart the worlds glad voices call,
And they bear for thee no pain,
But the wine of life on they lips must pail
CIR ief over thy pathway reign
| know thy heart hath a holy stay,
For the dear God loveth thee
And sendetb His angel band alway

Oh. love is the rarest wealth of earth
Bv day hath 1t clasped thy hand,
And walked through the night to radiant
birth
Mid the stars of the morning land.
I live 10 know how It's sacred power
Can the human soul enthrall,
While pray that peace with lts gracious
dover
Still over our paths may fall.

Would not my bark mid the tempests nee
Like a ship OF Its sails bereft'
should stand in the glow of Its silded day
Andl list for thy song in vain!
Or, fold my hands at thy side to stay
With green mound over MS twain

And our welded lives shall be

On pine wood shed, in an alley dark,
where scattered moon beams sifted through
row of tottering chimneys, and awning
torn and dropping fell, strobe back and
forth, with stiff and tense drawn muscle
and peculiar tread, a cat.
His name was Norval on yonder neigh
boring shed his father caught the cats that
came in squads from streets beyond the
Bridge, in search of food and strange adj
venture.
Grim war he courted and his twisted
tail and spine upheaving in fantastic
curve and claws distended, and ears fatty
pressed against head thrown back def
ontly, told of impeding strife.
With eyes agleam, and screeching
blasts of war, and steps as silent as the
falling dew, young Norval crept along the
splintered edge, and gazed a moment
through the darkness down, with tail awag
triumphantly.
Then with an imprecation and growl,
perhaps an oath in direst vengeance Kissed,
he started back, and crooked in body like
letter S, or rather a u inverted, stood
in fierce expectancy.
Twas well. With eye-balls glaring
and ears all aslant, and opened mouth, in
which two rows of fangs stood forth in
sharp and dread conformity, slow up a
post from out the yard below, head ap-
peared
A dreadful tocsin of determined strife,
young Norval uttered then, with face
unblanched, and moustache standing
straight before his nose, and tail flung
wildly to the breeze, stepped back in
cautious invitation to the foe.
Approaching the other and with prepa-
rations dire, each cat surveyed the van
tage of the field. Around they walked,
with tails uplifted and back high in air,
while from their mouths, in accents his
sing with consuming rage, dropped briei
but awful sentences of hate.
I Thrice round the roof they went i'll cir
Gle, each with eye upon the foe intently
bent then sideways moving, as is wont
with cats, gave one long-drawn terrific
yaw, and buckled in.
The fur flew A mist of hair hung
DER the battle field, High bove the dir
of passing wagons rose the dreadful tu
multi of the struggling cats. So CLEANED
their eyes in frenzy, that to me, who saw
the conflict from the window near, naugh
else was plain but fiery stars that movec
in orbits most eccentric.
An hour they struggled in tempestuou
night, then faint and fainter grew thu
squall of war, until all sound was hushed
Then went | forth with lantern and th'
field surveyed. What saw [?
Six claws, one ear, of teeth perhaps
handful, and, save fur, naught else excep

Settling Property on Wife.


When men are prosperous, and are
making money, and consider themselves
rich, | wonder that it so seldom comes
home to them that they are liable to re-
verse, which shall plunge their families
into the utmost pecuniary distress Men
know that business is subject to fuctua-
tions, and that nothing is more frequent
than that men should in one year have
all the comforts and advantages Of wealth,
and the next year be stripped bare. But
a vicious hopcfulncss prevents them from
realizing that they shall ever be subject to
this fate which befalls others,
have lived long enough to see the
overthrow of a great many families, be-
cause the father, believing that he should
live and always keep them in comfortable
circumstances, had neglected to make an
Independent provision for them.
| believe it to be the duty of every
man who is prosperous, out of debt, and
making money, to settle upon his wife a
certain amount of property, which shall
not be affected by either his bankruptcy
or his death This may be done by life
insurance-espccially if it be a policy
which is not forfeited by neglect Of pay
ment But still better way is to settle
upon the wife u good house, and the fur
niturc Then, it misfortune comes, the
man will still have a home He will be
secure at the root, and may begin again
with some hope If death takes away
the father, the nest remains. Tho chill

Some persons have questioned whether
scrupulous honesty would allow one tc
hold back from creditors any part Of a
husbands property. \ settlement Of
property on another, while debt haugs
over it, either for the sake of avoiding
payment of debt, or of securing the fam.
ily, would be fraudulent dishonest and
wicked. But if, while clear of debt, the
husband settles property on his wife, tol
the lust maintenance of herself and chill
dren, his after debts have no more claim
upon that property than if he had sold
and transferred it to Il neighbor, Instead o.
to his own wife. No man has a right tC

A SCRIPTURE CoINcIDENcE.-Burt, in
his book, The Far East" thus notes a
remarkable Scripture coincidence
The tourist in Egypt, looking for Bible
illustrations, is likely to be disappointed
when he finds no "hullrushes, or "rceds," "
answering to those spoken of in the his
tory of the infant Moses, No sign of
flag, reed, or other aquatic plant appears,
either along the Nile or elsewhere. Yet
there must have been such plants in for
mer times. The monuments depict them
in great variety, the lotus being a favor
ite. And the rolls of papyrus found in
the tombs, testify T. the existence of such
plants, the pappyrus having been made
from the bark of the paper reed How
interesting to the Scripture student to
find that the disappearance of these plants
was specifically predicted by the Scripture
writers Says the prophet Isaiah, The
reeds and flag, shall withcr, the paper
reeds by the brook, by the mouth of the
brooks, and everything Sown by the
brooks shall withcr, he driven away, and
be no more" But the question comes
Why do do not aquatic plants now grow
in Egypt? Arc not the physical condl'
tions now existing in this country tho
same which have always prevailed? And
does the Divine fiat now resist natura
