THE DISCOVERY 1T ROME!
Tlse bodies ofSf. JaIMes and ST.
Phillip, tie cousins Of Jesus
found beneath the Church
OF the Apostles.

The correspondent of the New
York World, at Rome, gives the
following account of a remarkable
discovery in the city of Rome:
a remarkably interesting discovery
has been made here in Rome i'm these
last days. On Wednesday, when the
workmen were busy removing, brick
by brick, the high altar in tie Church
OF the Twelve Apostles-which edifice
is undergoing thorough repair-they
came upon the relics of st. Philip and
st. James minor, the cousins of the
Saviour. II was known that this ba-
silica, which dates from the days of
Constantine, did receive in the fourth
or fifth century, from the East, the
bodies Of these martyrs, and that they
inferred within its limits, but the pre-
else spot was not known; indeed, ac-
cOrding TO tradition, the relics had
been so concealed that they were new
er to be discovered until the day of
Judgment. An ancient MS, also
found lately among the venerable ar
chiveS of the convent attached to the
Basilica, did say that the burying place
Of the two apostles claimed to be
among the special protectors of ROme)
existed beneath the steps of the high
altar. But this had only been read
10y few monks, so that it was a great
surprise to most people when that
mornings work brought to light a
great stone slab with an equilateral
cross in alt relief, reaching to either
side. covering in an empty chamber
with rough-hewn walls. And to one
side and exactly beneath the site of
the altar table another chamber, pla-
ted with Phrygian marble, containing
condition, but having within it the
bones and ashes of the two apostles =
That same afternoon the Commission
of Sacred Archaeology visited the site
and drew up their statement before
anything was disturbed. The coffin
was then carefully taken up and placed
in new one prepared to receive it.
and they then came upon slab of
marble with round hole in it, such
as used to be placed before the tOmbs
of martyred saints. The aperture was
made to pass handkerchief or bunch
of flowers through till they touched
the venerated remains that laid with
in. The legal documents having been
drawn up and signed by all who were
privileged to be present the outer cas-
ing was sealed up and put in charge
of the monk who has the care of the
relic department in the Basilica.

IKE, THE FOGL.

Alas what fool have been,
For idly dreaming youth away;
And thinking there would be no sin
In dol & naught each summers day.
Said !, In yonth I'll have my fun,
Regardless of the consequences
Pll never favor any one,
Unless he pays all expenses
"rll hunt, and sleep, and frolic round
And read the papers once week,
To trifling books l'h not be bOuni
To read, that may wisely speak.
"Ill dress in black, and be : big Ike,'
And wear watch with golden chain;
III court the girl whom most like:
The hearts of all with love, infame.
In country, town, and city too,
OF ev'ry belle I'll be the beau;
And when l find ore good and true,
On her my love will bestow.
" at ev'ry ball I'll take the lead;
At ev'ry wedding be a guest,
And everything that shall need,
OF ii, Pll get the very best"
Thus dreamed in my tqyisE! plays.
And, fOol-like, thought 'twould all be true
But now find in manhoOd's days,
Tha; all is false which then I KNEW.
In ey'ry crowd I'm " Ike the fool
The laughing stock at ey'ry ball:
| wish, by Joe, I'd gone to school,
And learnt the French, and Greek, K ALL.
But now is no time to repent,
And to reform, it is too late;
To-day I'll leave this continent,
And so you see. III leave the STATE.
"LITTLE Ike"

THROUGH THE PASS.
BY MARGARET J. PRESTON.

" Vome, e,-bear me home, at last" lie said,
"And lay me where my dead are lying
But not while skies are oyerspread,
And mournful wintry winds are sighing
'' Wait till the royal march of spring
Carpets the mountain fastness over
Till chattering birds are on the wing,
And buZzng bees are in the clover.
4" Wait till the laurel bursts its buds,
And creeping ivy filings its graces
About the linchen'd rocks-and floods
OF sunshine fill the shady places.
SweetNature all, is glad and tender,
Then, bear me through the Goshen-Pass,
Amid its fash of May-day splendor."
50 WILL we bear him. Human heart
To Natures own drew never nearer;
And never stopped she to impart
Her lore to one WEo held it dearer.
The stars had secrets for him;
Revealed the depths their waves were
screening
The winds gave up their masteries,
The tidal flows confessed their meaning.
Of Ocean-paths, the tangled clcw,
He taught the nations TO unravel;
And showed the track, where safely through,
The lightning footed thought might travel.
And yet unspoiled by all the store
OF Natures grander revelations,
WHO bowed more lovingly before
The lowliest of her fair cI Ieations?
No sage of all the sages past,
Ambered la Plutarch's limpil story,
Upon his living age has cast
A radiance touch with truer glory.
His noble living, for tLe ends
God set him duty underlying
Each thought word action.) naught trans
cends
In lustre, save his nobler dying,
DO homage, sky, and air, and grass
All things he cherished sweet and tender,
As though our gorgeous Mountain-Pass,
We bear him in his sunset splendorf

Seine sSeasonabIe Dishes.

4 delicate breakfastdish can be made
Of "oatmcal Jelly" Soak half pint of
good oatmeal overnight in one and a
half plnts of water In the morning
drain off the water through a scive add
ing one and half pints hot water, and
put it to boil over quick fire. Stir till
ii bOils, then set it back and let ii simmer
ten minutes. Turn into m0Ids, and in
fifteen minutes it will be set sufficiently
to turn out into saucers, and still be warm
enough to eat nicely. Serve at once, With
out trimming, or with little milk or
swectened fruit,juice The soaked meal
that IS left can be utilized in batter bis
cult, or cOrn-meal mush, or made into a
porridge by itself. In the latter shape, it
IS bland and peculiarly suitable for in
vallds who have not yet learned to like
oatmeal. These preparations are in no
cepting for variety.
For a fancy dish, mock eggs can be
made at this season. The real egg shells
will need to be specially prepared to serve
as q mold, by breaking them at the large
end, and pouring out the contents, leaving
an oritice as large, perhaps as a five-cent
nickel. Then boil rice in five parts water
for threefourths of an hour, fill the shells
with this, put over the end another half
shell, pin tape or strip of muslin around
each lengthwisc, and steam half an hour
longer. Then pour over them cool
water, barely enough to cover
them, and let them stand ten min
utes; then take off the shells care
fully. Of course, this is only plain boiled
rice, and may be trimmed and eaten ac-
cordingly, either for breakfast or dessert.
Another form of filling them is, when two
thirds full of rice, to make a space in the
centre with the handle of a teaspoon. and
fill it with stewed raisins or Zante cur
rants; then fill up with rice, and finish
cooking as before. Orange pudding
sauce trims these nicely, and so does
