A PARABLE.
by JAMES Russell LOWELL.


Said Christ, our Lord, "I will go and see
How the men, my BRETHREN believe in me-"
He passed. not again through the gate Of BIRTH
But made himself known to the children of earth.
Then said the chief priests, and rulers and kings,
Behold, now, the giyer of all things;
Go to, let us welcome, with pOmp and state,
Him who alone is mighty and great"
With carpets Of gold the ground they spread
Wherever the Son of Man should tread
And in the palace chambers, lofty and rare,
They lodged him, and served him with kingly fare
Great organs surged, through arches dim,
Their jubiant floods In praise of Him;
And in church, in palace, aud Judgment hall,
He saw his image high over all.
But still, wherever his steps they led,
The Lord in sorrow bent down his head
And from under the heavy foundation stones
The Son of Mary heard bitter groans.
Aud in church, and palace, and Judgment hall,
He marked great assures that rent the wall.
And opened wider and still more wide,
And the living foundation heayed and sighed.
Have ye founded your thrones and altars then
On tho bodies and souls of living men
And think ye that building shall endure
Which shelters the noble and crushes tho poor?
"With gates Of silver and bars of gold
Ye have fenced my sheep from their Fathers fold
have heard the dropping of their tears
In heaven those eighteen hundred years.
" o Lord and Master, not ours the guilt
We built but az our fathers built
Behold thine images, now they stand
Sovereign and sole through all the land,
sour task is hard-with sword and flame
To hold thy earth for ever the same,
And with sharp crooks of steel to keep
Still, as thou lcftest them, thy sheep.
Then Christ sought out an artisan,
A lOw-browed, stunted, haggard man,
And motherless GIRL who with fingers thn
Pushed from her family want and sin.
These set He in the midst of them,
And, as they drew back their garments hem
For fear Of defilement, "LO, here" said he,
" The images ye have made of me-"

The two cigar steamers OF Mr.. Ross
Winans Of Baltimore make frequent
trips in the British channel, although
their officers taken pains to prevent any
knowledge of their capacity for speed
from becoming public. Ono of these
steamers was built at Cherbourg and
the other on the Clyde. The latter is
about 400 feet long, and is built on a
different plan from the original cigar
steamer, which now lies at her wharf in
Baltimore. Instead of a wheel in the
center the vessel has two propellers at
the extreme points Of the cigar. The
cigar portion Of the hull is submerged,
and an eyewitness describes the whole
appearance Of the vessel as he saw it re-
Gently in the harbor Of Southampton as

pearched on the back of a whale" Mr..
winans hopes to obtain speed OF
twenty miles an hour by propulsion

His Thinking Might Cap.

The season approaches, says the Dan
bury News, when the boy of the period
turns his mind to meditation. As the
hour of eight p. NJ. strikes, he softly
withdraws from the table where he has
been engaged in digging the putty
from nail head, and unostentantiously
deposits himself back of the stove to
think. We are particular to. emphasize
this VOID, because there is an impression
on the part of his parents and his elder
sister, who has the honor of escorting
him to bed nights, that he is going to
sleep. They go so far az to openly ex-
press this belief, but he stoutly denies
it, and immediately proceeds TO demon
strate the gross injustice of the in
sinuation by humming some familiar
piece. Pretty soon the humming
ceases; there is significant movement
at the table, and then it is resumed
again, and continues for five minutes,
when it gradually dies ont, and all is
silent back of the stove. When the boy
comes to again, he is being lifted to his
feet by his wristband, and cufted on the
head to indicate that it is after ten
o'clock. He makes desperate attempt
to find where he left off OH the tune,
but ignominiously fails, and FIVE minutes
later is stumbling up stairs, with an in.
terested and active sister in his rear.

The Boston GlObe is veIed to SEQ the
statement going the rounds of the press
that beetle is capable of lifting 3l5
times its own weight, while man of or
dinary muscular power is fully 100 times
feebler. Why should myn forever, it
asks, be brought into unfavorable COM
parison with beetles? Has it ever struck
anybody how many beetles man can
lift? We are also told for the thou
sandth time that tho flea, scarcely
three-hundredths of an inch in height
manages to leap without difficulty over
barrier fully 800 times its own alti-
tude. For man six feet is an unusu-
ally high leap. Imagine him Jump
ing 5000 feet, or nearly three-fifths of
Il mile" We shall imagine no such
thing. 1t is we'll enough for flea to
jump. He never does anything else,
except to make Il dogs life burden to
him. He never leaves his footprints on
the sands of time, or sounds the light
guitar. He never hired himself out to
turn derrick in Chicago, or gave us
the least assistance during the great fire.
He has done nothing but Jump 500
times his own altitude ever since he
was first created, and he will continue
to do nothing else until his race becomes
extinct. 1t is ine1pressib;y painful to
us to be continually tainted with the
fact that -'ankip' are not feas. ants,

The people in portions of Africa have
many curious customs and supersti-
tions. Among the former may be men,
toned the fashion OF having fat wives
Being introduced to great chiefs wife,
Speke thus describes her 81 was
struck with the extraordinary dimen-
sions, yet pleasing beauty, of the im-
moderately fat fair one. She could not
rise, and SO large were her arms that
the flesh between the joints hung down
like large, loose, stuffed puddings.
The chief, pointing to his wife, said {;
"This is the product of our milk-pots !;
from early youth upward wo keep these
pots to their mouths, as it is the fash
ion at the court to have very fat wives"
A sister-in-law of the king was per-
feet wonder Of hypertrophy. She was
unable to stand except on all-fours.
Spoke unblushingly requested per-
mission to measure her. This is the re-
suit
Ground the arm, % inches chest,
81 inches thigh, 81 inches calf, 20
inches height, 5 feet 8 inches. All of
these are exact except the height, and |
believe | could have obtained this more
accurately if l could have laid her on
the floor. Not knowing what difficult
ties should have to contend with in
such piece of engineering, | tried to
get her height by raising her up. This,
after infinite exertions on the part of MS
both, was accomplished, when she sank
down again fainting, for her blood had
rushed into her head. Meanwhile the
daughter had sat before us sucking at Il
a milk.pot, on which the father kept
her at work by holding the rod in his
hand; for, as fattening is the first duty
of fashionable female life, it must be
duty enforced by the rod, if necessary. ="

mountain air and scenery, and the mineral wa
ters. which include the three distinct classes of
Alum, Chalybeate and Sulphur Springs, offer all

These Springs are highly medicinal and have
performed many wonderful cures. Their great
value as medicinal agents is attested by the most
eminent physicians, and by many other persons

tant ingredients of alumine, iron and magnesia
than any other spring in the mountains of Vir-
GINA, and in its combined Alternative and tonic

Springs admit ola wide range of remedial appli-
cation.

tive organs, cutaneous diseases, scrofula, erysi-
pelas, neuralgia and in most cases all diseases of
malnutritiOn, irritation, relaxa ton and debility
will be readily cured by the judicious use of the
waters here for a reasonable length of time. No
other watering place in this region SO celebrated
for Its medicinal waters and delightful summer
resorts, offers superior attractions either in the

or in the number, diversified properties and great
remedial virtues of the mineral springs.
