Juvenile REVEALS.

That the average child is much in
need Of instruction in the minor moral
tiles, will scarcely be disputed that said
child will learn them much better at
home than at church, is equally true.
We fail to recognize the usefulness of
the two or three doubtless we'll mean
ing persons who travel the country in
the guise of d" Revivalists," and make
the awakening of the juvenile mind to
its sins their special field of effort.
Their one unvarying method is painful.

but, as a general rule, children are far
more apt to be scared into commissions
than into godliness. The piety which
needs to be protected by fear is of a pale
and sickly cast. These juvenile reviv-
ais are certainly unseemly in their pro-
gross and unhappy in their results.
The mind is wrought up to a feverish,
unhealthy pitch of excitement, under

4. II. Stewards Palace.

Stewards marble building, on Fifth
avenue, which he has erected for a
house, is approaching completion. 1t
is nearly furnished, and will be ready
for occupancy early in the spring. 1t
is, without question, the most superb
private residence in the country. 1t has
cost three millions, without the furni-
ture. The most celebrated artists have
been three years in frescoing the cell
ings. The frescoes are unequaled, ex-
cept those in the Prince Albert ball
room at Buck ingham Palace. The style
of the building has been adopted, be-
cause Stewart intends to denote it to
the city for gallery when he gets
through with it. 1t is sepulchral
place, with its stone floors and stone
stairs, nay, requiring a fire in summer
and winter to keep it habitable. Mrs.
Stewards room is an exception. The
wood work on her suite alone cost
$4,000. Every room has carpet i'm
ported and made to fit, and the color Of
each room is different. The doors are
solid rosewood with silver trimmings,
and it cost 5000 to hang each door in
the parlor. The picture gallery is COM
plete. Several OF the pictures cost over
$4,000. The two most celebrated are
1.-The Prodigal Son" and "The New
England Thanksgiving Dinner" The
water.works are marvels of elegance
and of ingenious contrivance. After
the parlors, the two most celebrated
rooms in the house are "Gen. Grants
room," which is fitted up with great
elegance, for Mr.. Stewart and the
President are great friends then comes
the " servants parlor." That is fitted
up more gorgeously than any gentle
mans parlor that l have seen in this
city. Curtains, mirrors, imported car
pets, elegant chairs covered with red
leather, and pictures adorn the room.
Huge ranges, and every conceivable
modern convenience, can be found in
the kitchen. The doors are barred
against visitors generally, and the
house when done is not to be put on

4 New Irish Trouble.

meeting of an unusual character
has recently been held in Ireland.
About two hundred years ago an ances-
tor Of Lord Masserene-whosc great
grandfather was the last Speaker of the
Irish House of Commons--let a large
extent of property on leases renewable
forever, subject to the condition that
the tenants should supply him with a
given quantity of poultry and other
commodities. For convenience sake,
the value of the articles was presently
paid instead, and this arrangement has
continued, but the tenants have only
raid the market value Of the articles at
the time the leases were given-five
cents for fowl which may now be worth
twenty-five, and so forth. The present
Peer has intimated that he must either
have the ducks and geese themselves,
or their value in to-day's market, and
the tenants met under the Presidency
of one of their number, Justice OF the
Peace. to consult what to do, being
much exercised at the prospect of pay.
ing the value which, in fact, their an
cestors paid. If they elect to give their
tributes in kind we should be sorry to
dine off them until they have had sew
eral meals at his Lordship's expense.
Irish chickens are at the best apt to be
but lean and ill-havored.
