STONES OF THE PYRAMTDs.-I dare
say very many will differ from me in
my opinion, aud say hard thi gs in
reference to my lack of taste and
want of appreciation of the so-styled
wonderful, but am bold to confess
that my first impression on reaching
the Pyramids of Sakkara was one of
disappointment. From what | had
read, and from all | had heard tour
lists relate from time to time, regard
ing the wonderful size of the blocks
of stone composing these great struc-
lures, | was led to imagine that the
individual blocks of stone were so
large that it became difficult mat
ter to form any conception as to the
manner in which they were piled one
upon another. The blocks of stone,
when | had looked we'll at them, did
not convey to my mind any very exal-
ted idea of magnitude; neither could
L Tor the lie OF me, see any real
difficulty where laborers "a we read,
were numbered by the hOuand, in
raising any one of the blocks of stone
composing the mass of the pyramid
from the base to the summit. To
put this matter to a more practical
test, VIC carefully measured some of
the larger blocks in the Gizeh pyr-
amids, and by calculation we found
hat the heaviest block of stone max
ing up the structure of the pyramids
did not exceed two and a half tons,
and that by far the greater part
were, of course. much lighter.-J. K.

A Few MAxIMs FOR YOUNG GIRLS.

A FEW MAXIMs FOR YOUNG GIRLS.
Never make your appearance in the
morning without having first brushed
and arranged yourself neatly and
completely. Keep your clothing in
perfect order. Never let pins do du-
ty as buttons, nor strings take the
place of proper lands. Examine
every garment when it comes from
the wash, and, if necessary, mend it
with neatness and precision. Do not
sew up the holes III your stockings as
we have seen some careless, untidy
girls do, but take in broad margin
around the hole. be it snail or large
with fne darning.needle and darn
ing-cotton, and cover the fracture with
an interlaced stitch, so close as to be
strong as the body of the stocking,
and fine enough to be ornamental.
Train yourself to useful occupation.
Remember it is wicked to waste
time, and nothing gives such an i'm
preston of vanity aud absolute sill
illness as a habit of idiing and never
having anything to do. If you are
in your fathers house take some de-
partment of household labor upon
yourself. and a part Of the sewing,
and make it your business to atteLd
to it. Do not let a cali from this
idle girl, or a visit from that, or an
invitation from the other. interfere
with the performance Of your duty.
If you cultivate to perfection some
art by which you gain al independ-
ent livelihood, do it, whether there
is a necessity tor it or not.

Napoleon as a Halter.

Napoleon hated much and bitterly.
He hated Pichegrue, he hated Moreau,
he hated Toussaint LOuvarture-the
poor, brave olack mamie hated his
brother Louis, he hated Madame de
Steal, he hated Pitt, he hated the
Queen of Prussia. he hated Sir George
Cockburn, he hated Lord Bathurst,
be hated Sir Hudson Lowe-not
very loveable man under any circum-
stances, it may be admitted; but still
it was a little too bad of Napoleon to
loathe the unhappy Governor as he
did as soon as he set eyes upon him,
and after his first interview with him,
to send away untasted cup of coffee,
declaring that the Governors very
looks had poisoned it. But have no
wish. to reopen that old St. Helena
sore. Let by-gones be by-gones.
The campbell at Longwood was
not precisely bed of roses; and at
ifty-one, ruined, baniShed, in Jail, sepa-
rated from your wife and child, blister
ing on a rock, or shivering in leaky
bungalow, with your coat out at eli
bows, mutton at two and-eleven pence
pound, and no salad oil obtainable-
with the knowledge Of having slaught-
cred good many innocent men, and
left many thousands of widows and
orphans-with all this, and an ul-
Ger eating away your stomach, it is
rather hard not to be allowed to hate
your neighbors with feverish fierce
ness.
But the earlier hatreds of Napole-
on were far less excusable, and they
were the worst of all hatredS-the
little ones. He was pettily jealous
of Moreau and Bernadotte. He was
afraid of the shrewdness, and envious
of the wit of Madame de Steal, and ha-
ted her accordingly. His dislike of
the patriot Of St. Domingo was as lu-
dicrOuS as it was wicked, and, with in
fernal ingenuity, he caused the hot
blooded negro, accustomed to Swelter
in the tropical sun, to be cooped up
in cold, damp casemate, there to have
chills and rheumatism till he died.
He hated hiS brother Louis pettily,
miserably, because Louis was quiet,
/ unambitiOus. and conscientious, and,
caring nothing for his crown, was
still determined to do his duty TO his
subjects after he had been thrust on
to a throne He hated Sir Sidney
Smith, too with mean, personal ha-
tired, because he drove him from be-
fore St Jean d Acre. He hated Ducis
because he would not pen tawning lines
in his praise and Admiral Brucys-
whom he would have struck with a
hOrSewhip, at Boulognc, had not the
/ Admiral laid his hand on his sword
because Bruevs, as a sailor. knew his
duty better than be.
Isuppose there is not, among English
men, a greater fanatic in hero.wOrsh-
ip. and more enthusiastic worshiper
of Napoleon the Great, than am. If
there can be demi-gods-if Hercules
was one, so, too, was Bonaparte.-
But I can not be blind to the fact
that, immeasurahly great as was my
hero, he condescended to hate in a
very mean and paltry manner. But
are there not spots on the sun

The SEA OF GALuEE.-Pilgrims,
sinners, and Arabs are all abed now,
and the camp.is still. Labor in lone
illness is irksome. Since | made my
last few notes | have been sitting out
side the teht for half an hour. Night
is the time to see Galilee. Genessar-
ct, with the glittering reflections of
the consultations hecking its surface,
almost makes me regret that | ever
saw the rude glare Of the day upon
it. Its history and its associations
are its chiefest charm, in any eyes,
and the spells they weave are feeble
in the searching light of the sun
Then we scarcely feel the fetters.
Our thoughts wander constantly to
the practical concerns of life, and re-
fuse to dwell upon things that seem
vague and unreal. But when the day
is done, even the most impressible
must yield to the dreamy influences of
this tranquil starlight. The old ira
ditions Of the place steal upon his
memory and haunt his reyeries, and
then his fancy clothes all sights and
sounds with the supernatural. In the
tapping of the waves upon the beach
he hears the dip of ghostly oars; in
the soft sweep of the breeze, the rush
of invisible wings. Phantom ships
are on the sea, the dead of twenty cen
turieS come forth from their tombs,
and, in the dirges of the night wind,
the songs Of old forgotten ages find
utterance again. In the starlight,
Galilee has no boundaries but the
broad compass Of the heavens, and is
a theatre meet for the birth of relig-
ion able to save the world, and meet
for the stately figure appointed to
stand upon its stage and proclaim its
high DEGREES. But, In the sunlight,
one says: Is it for the deeds which
were done and for the words which
were spoken in this little acre of rocks
and sand eighteen centuries gone, that
the bells are ringing today in the re-
mote islands of the sea, and far and
wide over continents that clasp the
circumference of the huge globe p
One can comprehend it only when
night has hidden all incongruities and
created theatre proper for so great
a drama.-Mark Twaia.

Irish Astronomy.

A yeritable myth, touching the Constellatio
Organ, ignorantly and falsely spelled Orion.
O'Ryan was a man of might
Whin Ireland was nation,
But poachin' was his hearts delight
And constant occupation;
He had on ould militia gun,
And sartin sure his aim was;
He gave the keepers many a run,
And wouldn't mind the game laws.
St. Patrick wanst was passin' by
Organs little houldin',
And as the saint felt wake and dhry,
He thought he'd enther bould in.
"ORyan," says the saint, "avick!
To praich at Thurles I'm goin',
So let me have rasher quick,
And a throb of Innishowen."
"No, rather will cook for you
While better is to spare, sir,
But here's gug of mountain dew,
And there's a rattlin' hare, sir"
St. Patrick he looked mighty sweet,
And says he. "Good luck attind you
And when you're in your windin' sheet,
Irsup TO heaven I'll send you"
O'Ryaa gave his pipe Whit
''Them tidin's is thranspOr.in;
But may l AK your saintship if
There's any kind of sportin';"
St. Patrick said, "a Lions there,
Two Bears, BULL and Cancer
"Bedad," says Mick, "the huntin's rare;

SO, 10 conclude my song Alright,
For fear I'd tire your patience,
You'll see Organ any night
Amid the Consultations.

TIL Mars grows jealous really,
But faith he fears the Irish knack
Of handling the shillaly.

A CURIOUS STORY-As the story
goes, a carpenter in the south of France
borrowed a sum of money from a
neighbor, and being unable to refund
it, he made, at the suggestion of his
friends wife, two handsome cOffins,
and gave them in payment. The
collins were placed in an upper room,
devoted to the storage of pickles. pre-
serves, etc, and for convenience sake
these articles were laid safely away
in the collins. By and by the husband
died; and one OF the coffins was
cleaned out, the preserved fruit,
pickles, etc, put into the other, and
the husband laid out in state. On
the dav Of the funeral the coffin was
carried to the church and mass said
by the priest; it was sprinkled with
holy water, and the reverend father
declared that the rites had been effica-
cious in releasing the soul of the de-
ceased from purgatory- From the
church the coffin was borne to the
grave, where a friend pronounced a
touching eulogy that drew tears from
all present, the coffin was lowered, the
earth thrown in, and the company dis
persed. A few days after, some
friends called to condole with the wild.
ow, and before their departure, being
Hospitality inclined, she went up tC

Opening the coffin, she started back

Ors below, who, rushing up to the
room, behcld a dreadful sight-the
face OF the dead husband stared al
them from out the opened coffin. Here
then, a perpleXing question is raised
The husband not having been regular
ly buried, is he still in purgatory ?
Or, have the mass and holy water mac
the effect Of absolving the preserved
fruits aud pickles, and are they nov
enjoying the pleasures Of a celestia
state in consequence? Or finally, al
the mass was said and the holy wate
sprinkled for the husband, has he beer
duly benefited by them? 1t is {
question which the lesser lights of tn

SIEGES Fo JERUSALEM.-Probably
no capital city of equal consequence
was ever taken and retaken SO many
times as Jerusalem We have no re-
cord of the date of its foundation yet
its subsequent history is one of con-
tinual contests and continual restora-
tions and it is no doubt owing to
these changes that the ground of the
modern city is in many places thirty
feet above the level OF the old, and
that the valleys which formerly inter-
sected its divisions are now filled to

THE OLD PATHS But NOT THE OLD
RUTs.-Catholic and Christian are
these words Of DR.. Guthrie in the
Sunday Magazine;
Very seldomhave l worshiped with
Christians of other denominations,
either at home or abroad, with my
countrymen or with Foreigners
French, Swiss, Germans or Italians,
without seeing something in their
churches which | would have been
happy to epgraft on my own. And
this is a feeling, [ venture to say,
common to all who, while enjoying
the privilege of worshiping with other
denominations. have sought to see in
their services not what they might
condemn, but might admire and init
ate. 1t is good to be conservative,
but not Of defects. In these. days of
bold attacks from unexpected quar-
ters, on our most sacred and cherish
ed beliefs, let all on the watch-tow
of Zion sound forth, Thus saith the
Lord, stand We in the ways and see
and ask for the old paths, where is
the good way, and walk therein, and
ye shall find rest for your souls But
though it is our duty to keep by the
old roads, it may not be our duty to
keep by the old ruts. Between old
roads and old ruts, there is q great
and too much forgotten distinction.
What is cOmmendable in churches
other than our own, why should we bt
such bigots as not to copy? Who can
afford to dispense with what other
good, intelligent AID pious Christian:
have found to be aids to devotion
The tide runs strong the other way
and We need to crowd all sail on thC
mast to advance in grace, and a
length arrive in heaven.
