How Glass Paper-Weiehts are
Made.

Every one knows those paper-weights Of
solid colorless glass in hemisphercal shape,
in the centre of which are bouquets. por-
traits, and even watches and barometers, etc.
etc., bat few persons know how or by what
means these things are incarcerated in the
centre of the glass.
There is great distinction to be made not
merely between the objects, but also between
the materials of which they are composed.
AS those representing flowers and bouquets
IN glass-those from which the name is de-
rived-are the most ancient and the best
known, we will begin with them.
The first thing to be done is to sort and
arrange a certain quantity of small glass
tubes of different colors in the cavities of a
thick molten disc, disposing them according
to the object to be represented. This done,
the tubes are enclosed between two LAYERS
of glass. To do this they begin by placing on
one side of the disc which contains the tubes
layer of crystal, to which the tubes soon
become attached. When this is done the
disc is removed and a second layer of crystal
is placed on the opposite side.
The object being placed in the centre be-
tween these two layers of glass thus soldered
together, it becomes necessary to give the
ball its hemispherical form, which is done,
when the crystal is again heated, by means
of concave spatula of moistened wood. 1t
on the wheels
That glass ornament, being covered with
layer of hot glass, should receive no injury
or change of color, may be easily understood
from its extremely refractory nature; but ii is
not the same with objects in metal, such as
watches, barometers, etc., which far less
degree of heat would oxidize or even entirely
destroy. The mode of manufacture, there
fore, of these latter objects is quite different
from that of the first. 1t is easy to prove
this. If we look at a paper weight,
provided the interior be of glass, the
upper and under part of the recipient will
be also of glass. If we now examine
paper weight containing a watch or barometer,
under the lower part of the ball will be found
a piece of green cloth, the use of which is to
keep in place the objects which, instead of
only forming one body with the covering of
glass which surrounds them, are only placed
in cavity made beforehand in the centre of
the half-spherical ball. In word, to take
out the glass ornaments it would be neces-
sary to break the paper weight, whilst to take
out the others it would suffice to take off the
cloth.
AS for the paper-weights in which are
placed portraits, usually of yellowish color,
these profiles are made of refractory earth,
and many thus bear well heat which only
softens glass.
Manufactured successively at Venice under
the name of millefori, and then in Bohemia,
these paper-weights have been carried to per-
fection only by French artists
The sole difficulty in their manufacture is
in avoiding internal air bubbles, which would
the more deform the objects, as any defect
would be much increased by the thickness of
the glass.

inability to decide; doubt the ability of any
one else to settle the question; and, taking
refuge in the idea that every manifestation Of
Gods power and love is illimitable, and NAV

Sabbath thoughts.

Many and thrilling are the associations which
the weekly recurrence of the Sabbath brings,
The sun of Sabbath morn first shed light on
a finished creation. When the earth stood out
complete and lovely thing before its Maker;
when Eden bloomed little heaven below, and
man, with his pure and lofty spirit, lived in its
bowers ere yet the trail of the serpent was over
all, God blessed the seventh day and sanctified
it. The beams of Sabbath morn first shed
light on ransomed creation. Thenit was that
the Captain OF our salvation. having battled
with death in his own dark domain, shivered
his fetters, rose victor from the tomb, led
captivity captive. and gave gifts unto meE; so
that now, instead of the woe and shame sin had
entailed upon the fallen, there is profferd to them
the beauty of the brightness of purchased i'm
mortality. The Sabbath is a type, and tells of
that rest which remaineth to the neope Of God
of that hour when the Christian pilgrim shall
terminate his long and toiIsome march through
rhe wilderness, and cross the threshold of his
Fathers home-when the Christian mariner
shall heave over the last ocean billow, and enter
the desired haven-when the soldier of the
cross shall lay Oft his panoply wear the rich
robe and the crown. Independently, too, of the
grander associations, there is much-much of
poetry, much of piety-to make the Sabbath
day to Christian soul the very best of ali
the seven.' The image of a gray haired sire,
the family shrine, the domestic Sunday school,
the ''big ha Bible, once his fathers pride,'
the music of the church bell, the house girt
round with the graves of his kindred, devotion's
lofty peal-Oh! it cannot be that the man is on
his way to heaven Who loves not as his life this
atom of heaven dropped on earth--it cannot be
that he is of the peculiar people who cal not
the 'Sabbath delight the holy of the Lord,
honorable that he has any claim to the char
acter OF religious being, who allows It's golden
hours to glide away without some thought a
bout that inheritance to which it points.

Church Manners.

We hear good deal said about becoming
behavior" in the house OF God and We think
there ought to be even more said, but some of
IL IN different direction
1t is said that one should be devout and rever-
ential in church. But will that justify man in
keeping his pew door shut when strangers are
without seats? in taking the best seat iu his own
pew in permitting those who are within his
reach to go without book while he is devoutly
using the best one in the pew?
1fin some cases there we're less sobriety and
more poiteness. would not the devotions be more
profitable to the soul and more acceptable to
God The last seat In pew is usually the
easiest. and should be reserved for the aged OR
the feeble, and not for the nimblest, who, when
once in it, suffers his aged mother or some
feeble lady, to sit where she can. The gentle
man-church- gentleman, we mean-will take
he end seat next the aisle, and suffer one, two,
three four persons. ladies' it may be, to get past
him by climbing over his legs.
The fact is, one may,tave his mind so entire
ly raised above the world, on Sunday, as to for
get great many little duties quite allied to
that benevoleuce which the Gospel inculcates.
No Christian man has right to make another
person unhappy, or even to annoy him through
selfindulgence, carelessness. or selfish devotion

Religious Revivals Out West.

1t is pleasing to notice in our exchanges &C.
counts of the religious feeling that prevails at
this time throughout the West. Winter is the
season for serious reflection In the rural districts
and it has been improved to more than the usual
extent during the past and present months. The
Week of Prayer has everywhere been produc-
tive of the most gratifying results In the city
of Peoria, illinois, on one occasion, five churches
grasped hands, and after a week or tvo Of con-
tinuous praying ten in all we're joined in sup
plication. Seven thousand families were visit
ed and spiritual consolation impaired with the
happest results. A special committee of moth
ers-two from each church-was appointed to
labor for the salvation Of fallen women, With
ample funds to draw from for the aid of any
outcast who might wish to lead better life
On one Sabbath evening as many as five hun
dred persons rose for prayers at once. A similar
religious revival prevails in other parts of Illi-
nos, as we'll as in Ohio Cincinnati being es,,
pecially blessed in Indiana, Michigan Wis.
consin, Missouri aud in other Western States
These are glad tidings coming from compara-
lively newly settled portion of our country, and,
are indicative of what is a real and tangible
uth-na,nely that thoroughly religious sentil
ment is entertained in the hearts of the Ameri :.
can people, aud that religion is the bulwark and
iounda,ion of our free institutions. ~ y

When Mary was a Lassie.


The maple trees are tinged with red.
The birch with golden yellow;
And high above the orchard wall
Hang apples rich and mellow;
And that's the way through yonder lane
That looks so still and grassy
The way took one Sunday eve
When Mary was lassie.
You'd hardly think that patient face,
That looks so thin and iaded,
Was once the very sweetest one
That ever bonnet shaded; -
But when | went through yondep lane,
That looks so still and grassy,
Those eyes Were bright, those cheeks were fair
When Mary was lassie.
But many a tender sorrow,
And many patient Care,
Have made those furrows on the face
That used to be so fair,
Four times to yonder churchyard,
Through the lane SO still and grassy,
We've borne and laid away our dead,
Since Mary was lassie.
And so you see I've grown to love
The wrinkles more than roses;
Earths Winter flowers are sweeter far
Than all Springs dewy posies
They'll carry us through yonder lane
That looks so still and grassy,
Adown the lane I used to go
So When Mary WAS asse
