The Miserere at ST. Peters.

There is one grand and sublime cere-
mony, the Miserere Of ST. Peters The
music is exquisite, the effect surprising.
Rome saw, in the sixteenth century,
that Professionalism in the arts OF paint
ing, sculpture, and architecture. To
prevent this inferiority, she naturally
sought master of song, and found the
sublime Palestrina, the Michael Angelo
of the Tyre. The pope forbade the re-
production of his Miserere, in order
that it should be heard only in that
church whose gigantic arches were COM
pletely in harmony with its sublimity.
One day noble youth heard, entranced,
the miserere. This youth, who may be
called the Raphael of music, learned IL
by heart, and divulged il 10 the world,
He was Hozart. The German genius
came TO steal the secrets Of the Latin
genius in the eternal war between both
races. No pen can describe the solem-
nifty of the Miserere The night adj
vances. The Basilica il in darkness.
Her alters are uncovered. Through the
open arches there penetrates the uncer-
tain light of dawn, which seems to
deepen the shadows. The last taper
of the tenebrario is hidden behind the
alter. The cathedral resembles an i'm
mense mausoleum, with the faint gleam-
ing of funeral torches in the distance.
The music of the Miserere is not instru-
mental. II is n sublime choir admira-
bly, combined. Now il comes like the
far-off roar of the tempest, as the vibra-
tion of the wind upon the ruins or
among the cypr sses Of tombs; again,
like lamentation from the depths OF
the earth, or a moaning OF heavens
angels breaking into sobs and sorrowful
weeping. The marble statues, gigantic
and of dazzling whiteness, are not com
pletely hidden by the darkness, but APP
pear like the spirits OF past ages coming
out of the sepulchers and losing the
shroud to join the intonation of this
canticle Of despair. The whole church
is agitated, and vibrates as il words OF
horror we're arising from the stones.
This profound and sublime lament, this
mourning of bitterness dying away into
airy circles, penetrates the heart by tho
intensity of its sadness ; it is the voice OF
Rome supplicating heaven from her
load Of ashes az if under her sackcloth
she writhed in her death-agony. To
weep thus, TO lament as the prophets OF
old by the banks of Euphrates, or among
the scattered stones Of the temple, 10
sigh in this sublime cadence, becomes
a city whose eternal sorrow has pot
mared her eternal beauty. Thus she is
enslaved. David elone can be her poet.
Her canticle is majesty and unequaled.
Rome, Rome thou art grand, thou art
immortal even in thy desperation and
The human heart shall
be thy eternal alter, although the faith
which has been thy prestige should per-
ish, as the conquests that made thy great
ness have departed None can rob thee
of thy God-given immortality, which
thy pontiffs have sustained, and which
thy artists will forever preserye.-EHf-

The Spinning of the silk-worm.

The silk-worms change their skin four
times. After the fourth moulting comes
a redoubled appetite, which permits
them to attain their full size in a few
days. Then other phenomena appear.
The caterpillar ceases to eat, and
empties itself entirely; it seems un-
easy, wanders here and there, and seeks
to climb. Warned by these symptoms,
the breeder constructs for it with
branches a cradle or bower, into which
it mounts. It chooses a convenient
place, hangs itself by the hind feet, and
soon, through the spinner of which
have spoken, we see come out thread
of silk, This is at first cast out In any
direction, and forms a collection of
cords destined to fix the cocoon that is
to be spun. Soon the work becomes
regular, and the form of the cocoon is
outlined. For some hours we can see
the worker performing his task across
the transparent gauZe with which he
surrounds himself. By little and little,
this gauze thickens, and grows opaque
and firm; finally it becomes a cocoon
like these I place before you. At the
end of about 72 hours the work is done.
Once it has given out its first bit of silk,
a worm in good health never stops, and
the thread continues without interrHp-
ton from one end to the other. You
see that the cocoon is in reality ball
wound from the outside inward. The
thread which forms this ball is II miles
in length; its thickness is only one
twenty-four hundredth of an inch. 1t
is so light that % miles of it weigh only
154 grains. So that is TBS. of silk is
more than 2,700 miles long. Let me in
sist moment on the prodigious activity
of the silk-worm while weaving its
cocoon. To dispose of its silk when
spinning, it moves its head in all direc-
tions, and each movement is about one
sixth of an inch. AS we know the length
of the thread, we can calculate how
many movements are made in disposing
of the silk in 72 hours. We find In this
way that a silk-worm makes nearly 3OO,-
600 motions in "a hours, or 4, 166 an
hour, or SO per minute. You see that
our insect yields not in activity to any
weaver but we must add that it is
beaten by the marvellous machines that
the industry of our day has produced

THE OLD STORY.
By ALICE CAR,

By ALICE CARY.
The waiting women wait at her feet,
And the day is fading down to the night,
And close at her pillow, and round and sweet
The red rose burns like lamp s-lght,
Under and ever the gray mist leps,
bnd down and down from the mossy caves
And down from the sycamore's long wild leaves
The slow rain drops and drops and drops.
Alb! never had sleeper sleep so far;
And the waiting women that weep around
Have taken the combs from her golden hair
And it slideth over her face to the ground
They have hidden the light from her lovely eyes;
And down from the caves where the moses grow
The fain is dripping, so slow, so slow,
And the night wind cries and cries and cries,
From her hand they have taken the shining ring;
They have brought the linen her shroud to make
o the lark, she was never so 10th to sing,
And the morn she was never so 10th to awake
And at their sewing they hear the rain
Drip-drop, drip-drOp, over the caves,
And drip-drop over the sycamore leaves,
As if there would never be sunshine again.
The mourning train to the grave have gone,
And the waiting women are here and are there,
With birds at the windows and CLEANS Of the sun,
Making the chamber of death to be fair,
And under and over the mist unlaps,
And ruby and amethyst burn through the gray,
And driest bushes grow green with spray,
And the dimpled water its glad hands claps.
The leaves of the sycamore dance and wave,
And the mourners put of the mourning shows,
And over the pathway down to the grave
The long grass blows and blows and blows,
And every drip-drop rounds to flower,
And love in the heart Of the young man springs,
And the hands of the maineds shine with rings,
As if all life were festival hour.

Alaskan Mythology

The natives of certain secluded Aleu-
tian isles retain tradition concerning
the origin OF the latter which II al
ready published, is worthy ofrepetition
together with the embellishment natu-
rally accruing after the lapse OF year
or two. It is asserted that, in the pri-
mieval days, when the waters ofthe north
Pacific surrounded not a single isle
among the vast ranges OF the interior
continent, a mighty giant lived. Dwell
ing in harmony with a giant bride, each
morning he ascended the mountains
from which the SUBMITS we're plucked
for their daily food. Lakelets formed
their evening drink. At peace with all
the outside world, they reigned whilst
ages went their course. But finally
change occurred and discord entered the
mountain home. Whilst absent on a
distant summit, the giant felt the noun
tain quake beneath bis feet and, casting
upon his wife the fault of all the earth
quake uproar, hastened down with n
frown of vengeance in all his mien. The
giantess, perceiviDg this and fearing for
herself, ran leaping into Bearing sea,
and toward the distant Asiatic shore.
He, collecting mountains, followed the
frightened spouse, hurting them after her
with all his strength. For time, not
one of these did harm, and midway in
the sea the "stock-ou-hand" grew small;
80 throwing one out, now and then, be
hastened on. Approaching the KANT
chatka shores and summoning all his
remaining strength, he sent the last one
whirling through the air and beneath IL
sank the luckless wife. Exhausted by
exertion, despair and rage, the giant,
also, no longer held himself against the
waves, but sank into the sea, above
which, till this day, appear the summit
of all those sunken Alaskan mountains
known as the Aleutian isles From
the gradually decreasing numbers of
the latter on approach to the Asiatic
coast, can we doubt the truth of leg
endary tale that accounts 80 plausibly
for the singular "melting away" or
comet-like extension Of the AleutiaA
chain

A Methodist Labor Reformer.

Joseph Arch is by this time on his
way towards Canada and the United
States. In both, his special mission
will derive aid and influence from his
religious character He goes out as
president of the National agricultural
laborer's union and the fact that he is
an accredited preacher of the gospel to
the poor In connection with the most
useful body of Methodists on the face of
the earth, has gone out before him.
That body possesses recognized minis
ters and churches in most parts of
British America; and IL the great repub-
lie no sect of Christians is more nume-
rous or more widely influential than are
those bearing the Methodist name. On
both sides of the territorial line, we feel
sure, he will meet with hearty and
brotherly reception not only from
those who bear the same name, and had
the same common origin, but also from
all denominations in that grand region.
All Americans, and nearly all Cana
dams, will admire and sympathize with
the self-denying man who has left home
and country, family and friends, for
the sake of that down-trod million of
his fellow patriots, who, with their
wives and families, have been too long
at the mercy of landlords and employers
considering them as serfs, and under
the nominal care of religious teachers
who, living in luxury, have, for the
most part, reproached them with in
gratitude for not being contented to
slave and starve. He goes out to judge
by the sight of his own eyes whether
the happy union of liberty with plenty
and social happiness, of which he has
heard by the hearing of the ear, really
exists on the other shore of the Atlantic
ocean and he pledges himself before
han1 that if he find the picture to be
true he will spend five years upon the
spot, in either bringing the landlords and
the farmers of England to a juster sense
of their relative duties, or transplanting
his fellow-laborers to soil which in
vites the outlay of their honest and in
dustrious toll for the sole benefit of
themselves and their families.-Bee-
