BILE and resolutions:
WHEREAS, Our worthy brother and beloved
pastor, Rev. j. L. Lloyd who has, with much

tender to him our warmest love and grateful
recollections, regretting our inability to keep

call to Chattanooga, as Rector of st. Paul's
Parish in that place, aud thus the North
Knoxville Parish was deprived of regu-
lar pastor. Rev. DIR. Humes, however
kindly consented to take the general SUI
pervision of the Episcopal Church. In
this noble work he was assisted from time
to time, as Lay Readers, by Me<srs. Beck

In July, 1872, the Rev. William Now.

Rectorship of the Epiphany, and is now
He is a zealOns minister of the gospel and
is accomplishing great deal of good. Dur
ing his absence, especially just previous to
his return, the Church had met with seri-
Gus loss in the removal of great many of

regular communicates enrolled up to July
LIST, 1872, of whom twenty-five had remov-
ed, so that when Mr.. Mowbray returned
in the middle of that month only twenty
one out of the whole number remained.
But through the untiring energy of this

work of his Divine Master, the Church
now numbers again forty communican,s.

hector, j. Howard-Smith, d. D., is con-

present strength of the Epiphany is
mainly due, under God, to the fostering
care and long continued interest taken ina
it by the Rev. DR.. Thos. w, Humes. He,

love by the members and friends of the

Sing More.

Cultivate singing in the family. Begin
when the child is not yet three years old.
The songs and hymns your mother sang,
bring them all back to your memory, and
teach them to your little ones; the hymn
and the ballad; funny and devotional; mix
them all together, to meet the similar moods,
as in after life they come over US so mys-
teriously sometimes Many time and oft,
in Wall street and Broadway, in the very
whirl Of business; in the sunshine and gay
ETY. and Fifth avenue, and amid the splendor
of the drives in the Central Park, some lit
tie thing wakes up the memories of early
youth-the old mill; the cool spring; the
shady tree by the little school house-and
the next instant we almost see again the
ruddy cheek, the smiling faces, and the merry
eyes of schoolmates, some gray-headed now,
most "lie moulderipg in the grave" And
anon, the song my mother sang" springs
unbidden to the lips, and soothes and sweet
ems all these memories.
At other times, amid all these crushing
mishaps Of business, merry dirty of the
olden time pops up its little head, breaks in
upon the ugly train of thought, throws the
mind into another channel; light breaks in
from behind the cloud in the sky, and new
courage is given to US. The honest mau
goes singing to his work; and when the
days labor is done, his tools laid aside, and
he is on his way home, where wife and child,
and tidy table and CHEEKY fresde await him,
he cannot help but whistle or sing.
The burglar never sings. Moody silence,
not the merry song, weighs down the dis
honest tradesman, the perGiious clerk, the
unfaithful servant, the perjured partner

The Coming Conflict of Europe.

A dispassionate article in the London
Contemporary Reuiev, entitled "Ihe Jesuts
in England" predicts roublous times fol-
Europe outside of England. This writer
says:
Although there is not much probability Of
any revived persecution of the Roman Catho.
lie religious orders in this country, it will
not be amiss ttae we should, at this present
time, review t relationship 10 which they
stand toward I ate and toward society
in general, in reEsrence to the great princi-
Piles of civil and religious liberty. The ex-
pulsion of the Jesuits from Germany through
the resolute action of Prince Bismarck is an
act which cannot possibly be isolated in its
results. Setting aside all question as to its
immediate and indirect Influences upon the
position of Catholicism in Germany itself, it
has already helped to make the considera.
ton of the social and political effects of
Jesuitism one of the hottest of "questiones
b utantes of the hour. Once more we are
threatened with revival of the old contro-
versies respecting the character of the fam
Gus institutes of Loyola, while the power Of
the Jesuit within the Roman Church, SO far
from being lessened by the attacks that are
specially directed against them, is unques-
tonably strengthened and deepened; at the
very crisis, too, when these principles have
recently won the most signal dogmatic vic
tory which they ever achieved over the non
Jesuistical sections of the Church of Rome.

Instinct Of Birds.

DR.. Campbell, President of Rutgers Col
lege, New Brunswick, N. j having discov.
cred beneath two horse chestnut trees in the
campus, great numbers of carpenter bees,
each with the head detached, directed the
attention of the Rev. Samuel Lockwood, the
eminent naturalist, to the fact, and series
of careful observations were made, with most
interesting results. 1t was first noted that
they were all of the same species, and were
moreover, all males, or honey gatherers.-
Tie case first appeared one of wanton mas
sacre, the merciless executioners being COM
mon Baltimore orioles. On making more
thorough examination of these headless
trunks, it was discovered that every body
was empty, the insect having been literally
eviscerated at the annular opening made at
the neck by the separation of the head
The interesting fact disclosed by these OBJ
servations is, that these birds had learned
that the bodies of these particular bees-the
stingess males-were filled or contained
honey slipped from the blossoms of the horse
chestnut, and so they watched the insects
till they we're fully gorged, then darting
down upon them, shipped off their heads,
and always at one place, the articulation,
thus showing themselves acquainted with the
anatomy of their victims as well as their
habits, and taking advantage of both for the
qualification of their love for sweets.

Poverty's Harp.

One of the characters in French story
is an over-anxious house holder who is full
of cares while preparing for journey. He
writes out rules for his wife and servants in
case the house is on fire, or robbers come to
plunder his goods And his precau,ion
against the latter danger is an admirable one.
1t is this: Put E Jlian harps in the win
dow at night, and any rogues prowling about
will think am at home amusing myself on
my instrument, and will not disturb you.
Could there be lovelier way TO drive of
wicked men from good mans home than
by sweet strains of music? Even if burglars
knew that the protector of house was alb
sent, they could hardly bring their mind to
such meanness and siO, with such notes in
their ears, from the winds of heaven across
the simple strings of an Nolian harp, which
any boy can make with jack-knife, bit
of pine wood, and yard of sewing silk.
Nor need we wait to scare away burglars;
we can have one of these sweet toned instru
ments at any time. We had thought every
boy knew how to make these barps, but hay-
ing recently met with one who knew great
deal else, but who had never heard of one,
we thought there might be others in this gen
Grafton who know all about pianos and or
gans, trombones, comets, flutes, who have
not heard of this.simpleSt and sweetest of all
instruments. So at the risk of telling what
you all may know, We will tell you how to
make this little bearer of the music in the
air"
Form two little wedges of wood about the
size of your thumb-whittle one end thin
enough to be pressed between the upper and
lower sashes of the window. Draw line
round the other end with your knife; and
then cut out enough wood to allow silk
thread to lie in the cavity. Cut off your
silk to a length equal to the width of the
window and enough more to tie round the
wedges. Wax it well, tie it at each end to
one of the wedges. Insert the bits of wood,
drawing the silk very tight into the crevice
between the sasheS; and the harp is made
and in place.
You may hear no music at first; but as
soon as fresh wind rises there will float
through your room the softest aud clearest
notes, purer than those of almost any costly

What Does Not Grow in California.

Professor Asa Gray, in his address on
"Sequoia and its History" remarks that
most Of the characteristic forms of vegeta-
ton of the Atlantic States are wanting in
California, and vice versa. The following
extracts will show that, however varied and
wonderful the fora of that region may be,
there are many trees and plants familiar to
dwellers on this eide Of the continent which
it does not include:
California has no magnolia nor tulip
trees, nor star.anise tree; nor 30 called
papaw Asthma; y no barberry of the single
leaved sort; no Podophylum or other of the
peculiar associated genera; no Nelumbo nor
white water-lily; no prickly ash nor sumach; ;
no loblolly bay nor Stuartia; no Eastwood
nor linden trees neither locust, honey Locust,
coffee trees (Gymnocladus,) nor yellow wood
(Cadastris J nothing answering to Hydran-
gea or witch hazel to gum trees (Nyssa and
Liquidambar,) Viburnum or Diervilla; it has
few asters and goden-rods; no lobelas; no
huckeberries and hardly any blueberries
no Epgea, charm of our earliest Eastern
spring, tempering an icy April wind with a
delicious wild fragrance; no Kalmia nor
Clethra, nor holly nor persimmon; no catalpa
tree nor trumpet creeper (Tecoma; nothing
answering to sasSafras, nor to benzoin tree,
nor to hickory; neither mulberry nor elm;
no beech, chestnut, hornbeam, no iron-wood
nor proper birch tree; and the enumera-
ton might be continued very much further
by naming herbaceous plants and others

American Diet.

We are greasy people; from the pork
fat of New England to the bam.fat of the
South, we wallow in greasy food. This be-
comes rancid on the stomach, and produces
what Dr.. Urquhart pronounced the sum of
all diseases-dyspepsia. We drink tea that
would brighten Chinaman, and coffee that
would serve as an antidote to opium. We
pour down doses Of alcoholic Guilds which eat
into the coatings of our intestines, and de-
stroy the gastric juices. We go to bed over
tasked, body aud mind, sleepy with sluggish
blood in state of stagnation, and get up
only when the broad sun is staring in an
grily at us through our bedroom windows.
We are reckless in our pursuit of pleasure;
we strain our mental powers to their utmost
tension; and end old men and women, before
our time, or die, or fill cell in an insane
asylum.
