it's moral; but never yield the right to
crafty jealous lovers whims, or you will

p Rare TreuSura

The British Museum now contains treas
ure of ancient art Of more than ordinary
interest, and which, in all probability, has
not seen the light from the time of the
Goths, in A. D. 26O, until our day. 1t is the
first and grandest of the trouvailIes. ex.
cavated at Aiasalo0k, the ancient Ephesus,
and is pronounced by psychologists as BE-
| You'd all question to have formed part of
one of the splendid columns of the great
| Temple of Diana, the wonder of the heather
| world. This relic of antiquity has been
| placed in the Gracco-Roman room, and con-
sists of huge mass of white marble meas
| uring six feet in height and eighteen in
circumference. A large fragment has been
| split away from it, including three-ffths
OF the worked surface; but what remains
shows exactly the character of those IA
nous cGiGt0o COtlCLnTO2 or Embroidered
pillars" Of which Pliny says there were
l27, each sixty feet high, and each the gift
OF king. The portion which is uninjured
presents us with three figures in life-size of
admirable workmanship. One is clearly
Hermes with his caduceus. The central
form is headless, but it is a female, and the
dignity of pose and fine elaboration Of the
drapery mark some divine being. perhaps
Artemis herself. The third figure is a
winged male Victory, remarkable for being
prototype of our modern conventional
angel in pluInage and general character. 1t
wears short sword, and is well-nigh per-
feet. All display finished and stately art.
and we may judge how superb the stand
ing columns must have appeared, which
were composed Of ten Of these drums;
while, if we fancy the temple grit about
with forest of such glorious pillars. we
can marvel no longer that the whole world
repaired to visit the shrine of DIANA of
the Ephesians." That this precious relic is
basal stene of one Of the Embroidered
columns seems plain from the fin
ished nature of the sculpture, and
the life-size of the figures The archi
tects would probably carve the up
per Communications of each pillar in
rougher style and to larger scale, so that
distance might soften and diminish them
into harmony. The lovely work now re-
vealed to us is cut with the greatest preci-
sion; the drapery, especially, has been
chiseled with sharp and careful outlines, so
that the shadows cast by the bright sun of
the East must have thrown the figures into
fine relief, and the massive column would |
almost look like fretted ivory. 1t is inter |
esting TO gecOllec3 that St. Paul. gazed on
these very sculptures: that alexander the
coppersmithe probably initiated them on
his ''shrinPs:' Xerxes spared them for theiy |
beauty, and the Macedonian canquerOr Of
tered to pay all the cost Of the Temple if |
he might only inscribe his own name upon
its majestic front. There is little doubt but |
that the ruins of Aiasalook must contain
priceless store of rich Greek art if this be |
the first find;" and we shall hope to see
fresh treasures exhumed from the great
tomb where SO much beauty and glory lie
buriedo

Men Of business, believe me. there is now
and then profitable venture in doing moth.
ing at all. In the power to put business
aside and abiding now and then a perfect
quiet things sometimes solve themselves
when we give them that advantage, which
refuse to come clear for all our trying. We
all know how, by simply taking some per
plexlty into the deepest silence this side of
death-a good nights sleep-we can do bet
ter sometimes than if we sat up and
wrought at our task all night. When Mat
thew Murray, of Leeds, wanted to see his
way through some sore perplexity in his in
ventions, and all other effort was of no use
he rested day and night from all noise and
all effort save the effort an active man has
to keep himself quiet and then the thing he
wanted would steal in, and look at him, and
light on him, and stay, as birds used to light
on the old hermits, no more afraid Of them
than of the trees under which they sat
And mothers, you may care and toll inces-
sanity for your little ones, never resting
moment in your devotion, and then, because
you never do quit, but enter into your very
closet with little frOck to mend, Won SHALL
never be quite able to take the whole sun
light and sum of your motherhood into your
heart You will be so full of care about the
bread that perishes as to miss the bread
that c0meth down from heaven. No person
IN the world needs so much, now and then,
to be still, and open her soul only to the 81
lence, as an earnest, energetic, whole
hearted mother. This eternal activity is al.
most sure to RIM at last in shadows Rob-

THE TRIAL OF STOKES.
An Interview with Stokes as to his Co1nl-
ing Trial.
From the NeW YoEk Herald


A reporter of the Herald paid a visit to
the I0mbs prison yesterday, and obtained
an Interview with Edward S. Stokes. The
warden of the Tombs Mark Finley, had on
for the first time beautiful blue uniform
of the finest blue West of England INDIGO
broadcloth On the upper story of the peak
OF his cap was the inscription, warden. !"
Mr.. Finley, as soon as he saw the Herald
reporter, escorted him through the gates
and passed him, in gracious manner and
with wave Of the hand to the inner audi
ence room
There are some beautiful plants waving
IN the yard, and the inner aspect of the
prison seemed cheerful enough to all who
were free to go to and fro; but for the poor
prisoners 1t was very cherries, bleak
looking place.
The cell of Edward S Stokes is very clean
and~very neat, but there is total absence
OF any gaudy display, and the magnificent
adornments that have been illustrated in
the weekly papers are totally wanting in
the cell of Stokes. The few articles of the
toilet that are scattered about indicate that
he is now, as he always has been, scrupu-
!0usly careful of his personal cleanliness
Everything is valuable and of the best ma
terlal, but still the books and slippers are
the only articles that may be called lux
uries
FLOW do you do, Mr. stokes?" said the
reporter.
Il am as well as you might expect. Of
course L have no exercise, and when you
knew me was fond Of taking walk; but
can not do it here, as the boundaries are
limited" answered Stokes, smiling cheer
FULLY and shaking hands heartily with the
visitor.
The terribly long confinement, though it
has told upon Stokes, has net affected his
constitution as much as might be expected
His constitution is of iron, and his manner
IN conversation is as cheerful as ever His
eyes are as bright as ever, and he has the
same fire and agility of movement no
ticeable in him before his imprisou-
ment, Stokes was dressed with his
usual care and neatness, but he did
not wear his diamonds. He wore a loose.
gray tweed sack, a pair of handsomely cut |
gray trousers and purple silk scarf with |
white spots. Stokes could not do without a |
cane, and he struck his legs with ii and the /
able while talking The interview lasted |
for some time and the good spirits of Stokes |
returned to him as he talked energeticalIv |
If his troubles apd of his prison experience, |
Reporter-How do you feel, DIr. Stokes |
md how have you passed the last eight or |
line weary months
Stokes-I don't feel very well, but man
.ge to endure it. l suppose the loss of ex-
rcise in the open air is the cause.

There il no man living whose opinion ii
respect to theatres and actors is better emit
tied to respect than that of Dion Bouci
cault, and whatever views he may have are
being gradually drawn from him by inter
viewers, for he exercises no O'Conorish
American theatres are superior to those Of
London in comfort and elegance, but def
cient in scenery The actors and actresses,
many of them, have the making of first
class artists but are spoiled by their audi
ences. In Miss Davenport, of the Fifth Az
enue Theatre, he saw the promise Of high
comedy actress of the order of Mrs Nisbett
Among our actors Mr., Boucicault says there
are the three best comedians that speak the
English anguage-Joseph Jefferson, Viii
liam Warren, of the Boston Museum, and
Lester Wallack.

which he sold for pickles, and gave the pro-
ceeds for missions. A young man planted
one potato on land that his aunt allowed
for the purpose. It yielded peck for the
second planting. These yielded seven and

donation. A lady in Pennsylvania had
