u nderStOOd Her Case,

At a revival cXcitmcnt in Con
necticut n respectable old lady
was struck with conviction and
became IL convert, and was pro.
posed for membership Of tho
church. There was u meeting
hold for the examination Of tho
candidates, Of whom thore wore
several in attendance. "Well nv
dear sister Rogers said the cx-
aminer. addressing our venerable
friend, "please relate your .expc-
rience." The old lady, on thus
being addressed, lifted up hor
voice.
"Well," said she, "I don't know
what to say,Fso l told MY husband,
Mr.. Rogers, before l camo here
but l believe that I have cxpe-
rionced a change, as I told my
husband, Mr.. Rogers, aftcrI cam c

sinful creature in tho world, az [
told my husband, Mr.. Rogers, and
says he Il think so, too Then |
told Mr.. Rogers, my husband, l
was going to lead a different life
going to trim my lamp and have
it burning agin the bridegroom
come. Then Mr. Rogers, my hus-
band, eaid be didn't see what !
wanted Of another, but he didn't
make no objection. Then / told
Mr.. Rogers, my husband, that [
would join the church and prepare
myself for the place where tho
worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenchcd and my husband, Mr..
Rogers, told mo I'd bottor." i"

Tho celebration Of High Mass
on Advent Sunday, in St. Peters,
at Rome, gives an opportunity for
a descriptive lcttcr in tho London
Times. Forests Of candles in the
church, ladies in full dress black.
Swiss guards, priests, monks and
bishops from the four quarters of
tho globe, patriarchal, boarded
and dignifiod cardinals, and lastly,
tho Holy Father himself, make up
tho animated part Of tho scene.
Plus TX is pictured as pale and
aged, but walking steadily and
looking detcrminodly. Military
and sacrod music blended together.
A shrill-toned monk delivered the
sermon, and tho service ovor,
lighted candles, four feet long,
were placed before all the bishops,
and with tho Popo and cardinals
they passed in procession out Of
the edificc. The varieties of cha
ractcr and costume, the scarlet
and goatskin. the commingling Of
tourists, worshippers, dignitaries
and peasants, tho streets alive with
priests and monks, tho whirl Of
eaudy cquipagos, arc the delight
Of this scribbler; and he reels Off
full column of word-painting
with all tho ecstacy Of pcnny.a-
linor in field Of literary clover.

it not tho caro- ofa lifetime to bury

who is? They. have great power

responsible to God how they use

TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN.

Ii Is gratifying to see how strong a hold
the author OF the Emancipation Proclama-
ton has upon the hearts of the friends of
freedom abroad. The Spanish orator,
Castillar, in recent speech in the Cortes
on emancipation in the West Indies, allud-
ed to the abolition of slavery in this coun-
try, and paid the following eloquent trib-
ute to Mr.. Lincoln
II beg that you viii pause moment to

stain which obscured the stars of the
American banner beg you will pause

been invoked for the perpetuation of slav-

parents who could hardly read; born
new Moses in the solitude of the desert,
where were forged all great and obstinate
thoughts, momentous like the desert,
sublime; growing up among those prime
val forests, which, with their fragrance,
send a cloud of incense, and, with their
murmurs, a cloud of prayers to heaven;
a boatman at eight years in the impetuous
current of the Ohio, and at seventeen in
the vast and tranquil waters of the Mis-
sissippi; later, a woodman with axe and
arm telling the immemorial trees to open
way to unexplored regions for his tribe
of wandering workers; reading no other
book than the Bible, the book of great
sorrows and great hopes, dictated often
by the prophets to the sound of fetters
they dragged through Nineveh and Baby

of those miracles only comprehensive

country, and was raised by his fellow
citizens to the Congress at Washington,
and by the nation to the Presidency OF the

greatest moral height of our time, and
strong and serene with his thought; be-

France encouraging reaction in Mexico,
in his hands the riven country; he arms
two millions of men, gathers half mil
lion horses, sends his artillery 1900 miles
in week from the banks of the Potomac
to the shores of Tennessee; fights more
than GOO battles; renews before Richmond
the deeds of Alexandria, of Cesar; and
after having emancipated 100000 slaves,
