THE CHRONICLE.
CHI AR ITY.

- - - - n Il u
Woman, with scorn on ysur beautiful face,
Radiant with velvet, and satins and lace;
Daintily lifting the snow Off your skirt
Clear from the noIious and throng-tramp-
led dirt;
lily enough # becomes you to Sneer
Thus at the outcast that passes so near.
Shrink as you may from the touch of her
shawl,
She is your sister-your sister for all.
Look at her brow. tits fair as your own;
Nor has her cheek its bright blushing out
grown.
Ere you shall fasten disgrace on her name,
Wait till you know Wthetemptation that came.
II it were weakness, or If it were crime,
Or some light romance, to girlhood sublime,
May be she loved, as we women do love,
Periling soul-aye, our bright above
PerilIng all for one low spoken word
seraphs themselves never trembling heard.
Maybe she loved-the old story again,
Woven with transport, and passion and pain;
And the bright gold that she clasp'd turned
to rust
Till but a handful of dead-lying dust.
Mistiness lies in the blue Of her eyes;
All, do you see, tits tear in disguise.
Who knows-when twilight impurples the
world,
And through the lattice, the stars seem so
cold
Who knows the sobs that the night breezes
hear,
sobs strangely like the wall Of despair?
See the iron bars hedging her track
And, though her heart bleed, she may not go
back.
Nothing but scorn at society's door
Nothing but thongs for the life bruised and
sore.
So the poor feet, goaded on with a curse,
Plunged into paths where the darkness gets
So the spurned soul, cropping down mid the
gloom,
Falters and falls into infamy's tomb.

Cable dispatches from Great Britain

Cabinet meetings are being held in

special cause of these meetings. Itsis
said that as the result of these Cabinet
deliberations certain sections Of Ire

thousand additional troops are to be

10 THINE ARHs.-

In the crooked paths OF Sin,
Lured by fatal vile and snare,
Lord, my needless feet have been
Never a hindering gate was there
Save a tender Mothers prayer,
Or the hand her tears might win.
Out Of heavens eternal Light,
Some all-pitying angel hand,
Washed from earthly stain, and white,
Reaching to the narrow strand
Where my startled soul doth stand,
Isled in sudden, awful night!
Broad and bright the pathway rolled
IhrO radiant summer scene;
Wild wings flashed from hedge and world,
Shining rivers wound between
Breezy hills and hOllOws green.
Fired from Mornings festal gold.
Roses eloyed my steps all day,
Palms that waved in crystal air
a cool splendor far away,
WoOed me summer heights to dare;
And about me, every where,
Revel flashed her banners gay;
But the canker-WOrm Of Care
COiled in all the roses lay!
That was in the Morning-time,
When my feet TO music trOd,
Beating out a golden rhyme
on the blossOm-brOidered sod;
While the swift years, siiken-shod,
Tapped in pleasures glowing cline,
Father led my soul from Cod
Night and tempest veil the sea,
And the heavens are black with storms,
Lord, my frail hands cling to Thee!
1 have nowhere else to fee
In the shelter OF Thine arms.
Sin, nor grief, nor deaths alarms
Shall not vex or anguish me!

THAT CARDIFF GIANT.
The West Claims Him--He Comes from an Iowa
Gypsum Quarry,

The West Claims Him--He Comes from an Iowa
Gypsum Quarry,
! Correspondence of the New York Herald.
FORT DODGE, Iowa, Dec. 1.
The citizens of this place believe
that the giant, said to be found in
OnOndaga county, n. Y, and hum
dreds ofyears old, was made from an
immense block of gypsum, eleven to
twelve feet long, four to five feet wide
and two to three feet thick, taken
from here a year ago last June or Ju-
| ly, for the following reasons: First,
the gypsum is of that peculiar kind
which is marked characteristic of
our gypsum, as shown in the analysis
Of DR.. -, given in the newspapers I;
second, the unexplained and myste-
rious character of the doings and OBJ
jects of the party when here, and
who obtained and took away the great
"blOck of gypsum ;" third, that after
gypsum had lain in the water three
months, being very great absorbent
of water, you or geologist could not
tell whether it had been three years
or three hundred years fourth, being
familiar with gypsum manifestations,
and peculiarities, they know, from
their familiarity with gypsum, that
the gypsum quarries in the vicinity
where the giant is supposed to be
found, did not furnish the gypsum
block for making it, because its quail
ty is different, and those quarries
could not furnish block large enough.
will give you an outline sketch of
the "partyn that obtained the "great
block of gypsum" and shipped it
from here, ria Montana, by railroad,
to Chicago and New York "city" (?),
in July of last year.
Early in the spring of 1868, two men
lthe larger one passed by the name of
ulDcame to Ft. Dodge, claiming to be
anxious to get into the Gypsum busi-
ness" and they desired to obtain a
large block of it, take it to New York,
get up stock company and ''make a
good thing of it" Shortly after their
arrival came rather astylish man and
wife, who boarded in private fami-
ly. The man soon became intimate
with the men of whom 1 have been
speaking. He passed by the name of
Glass. He came from Syracuse, New
York, and is believed by the people of
this town to be the artist who made
the "giant" out of the big block
The movements of strangers, especial
ly peculiar, are watched by the bank
officers to guard against bank robbers;
hence the movements of the party
were closely scanned. After looking
around much they finally bought one
acre of gypsum quarry, paying for it
SlOO, nOminally to obtain specimens
to show the public what extraordinary |
fine gypsum Fort Dodge produced, |
then get up a stock company and Ego |
for themn in New York. The block |
when they started from here with it
for Boone, to take the railroad to Chi
cagO, weighed nearly or quite eight |
tons. 1t took them about a month to
get it to Boone, forty miles from here,
on account of the roads and the heavy
weight of the block. From the time
it left Montana by railroad until now
We have been looking in the papers
to see what had became of our "big
block of gypsum" We think we
"smell something" in the wonderful
stone man,

come forth from that grave. And so
this scheme is an effective one; it is
scheme of power, destroying sin,
but delivering the sinner"
Behold the trophies of this preach
ed Gospel every where in the multi
tude of living witnesses! Opreeious

hearts, whether set with thorns or
wreathed with flowers, knowing thou
wilt bear us up to the bosom of God. "

DIR. Lyman Beeeher once said: ga
great many professed Christians have
no other idea of religion than that it
is the means of getting to heaven when
they die. As for doing anything for
God while they live it does not enter
into their plans. 1 tell you my breth-
eren, L do not believe there is one in
500 of such professors that will reach
heaven; for there q magnamimity in
true religion that is above all such con-
temptible meanness." Henry Ward
Beecher has compared the religion of
most people to a lightning rod-a
thing put up to ward off the bolts of
divine wrath.

THE CLIMATE.

cold weather is seldom experienced.
The cold is very seldom severe enough
to form ice Of three inch thickness
then it requires fast work to put up
