" | kNow THAT NY REDEmER LlyETH. -
On Christmas night Of lS7l. the writer Of
this article sat beside Horace Greeley at
Steinway Hall. New York city. where was
being given Handels great Grafton of '' The
Messiah During the major part Of the
performance he sat apparently lost in
thought, if not in a doze, and seemingly
ob.iyious to all that was going on. But
when Miss Kellogg appeared and Slng the
great soprano solo '' know that my Re
deemer liyeth, he raised up. his face was
suflusedNyith joy. his bright eye was dimmed
With a fear. and he listened with that steady
and intense esmeStness 80 peculiar 10 him
when interested When it was finished no
hands more loudly applauded than his. no
face beamed forth such great satisfaction and
he murmured to himself those grandest of
all the words Of the world. " know that
my Redeemer liyeth." Then again came
the pre-occupied look, nor did it change
until Mis- Sterling sang the ccntralto recita-
tive, " Then shall come to pass that which
is written .. Death shall be swallowed up
in victory, when the same Joyous look Of
satisfaction lighted up the face no one could
look upon and not love.
\ few DAYS ago he turned wearily- ON his
bed Of pain, and the old light came back as
he muttered, '' know that my Redeemer
liyeth - few hours more and - it is done. -
Death was swallowed up in yietory-the
victory Of lifetime, fighting for the right
over wrong the truth over error for
reason over prejudice for peace and love
over war and hate-the victory of a we'll
spent life, emitting soul to life eternal after
death. This Is his victory and he needs no
eulogy or monument The heart-beat Of the
nation is the one, the imprint OF our foot
steps on the face of time the other-more
lasting than marble. more enduring than

liver us from such horrible death We
wrote our names on slips of paper in case
we should die in the tunnel. At last we got
off and were taken back to Modane, the
same place we started from. When we ar

forget. Some women were in commissions !:
men were weeping; some had to be carried

We had kept up wonderfully in the tunnel,

After twenty years Incarceration therein,
a man named Phelps has just been pardoned
out Of Clinton prison by Governor Hoffman.
He was resident of West Troy, y. Y.
Learning one day that his wife was untrue
to him, he fashioned with his own hands a
knife blade, with which he killed her. He
was arrested, tried and sentenced to be
hung, but through the intercession Of promi-
nent men of West Troy the sentence was
cOmmnted TO Imprisonment for life. During
these twenty years his department in the
prison has been faultless, and he has done a
large amount of valuable work for the state.
His services we're so valuable" says the
Troy Times, THAT Immediately after his
release be was engaged to oversee the
machinery in the prison at five dollars per
day He will remain in this position until
March, when he will start for the West,
with the intention, at the age of fifty years,
of commencing life over again. Nothing
can induce him to visit the scene Of his for
mer prosperity, his wife's unfathfulness and
his own crime" The case suggests its own
moral.

Her snow white hands together pressed.

Like new snowflake, white and mute.

This is alone its natal hour

As daisies in our dells.
But not on earth
Hath beauty grown beyond the flower

The glory that's to be-

Lies hopes grown perfect to the mind,
For beauty then il sghs
And beauty there
Compares with beauty here below.

And cherish for each faultless line,
But shadows are Of those divine

light, whereas an imperfect one diminishes
it very materially and it is even practically
by bad burners and high pressure to consume
light without its yielding any light what
ever. That when the fame is diminished, a
greatly decreased light from the gas is the
result; therefore it is essential that the full
quantity of gas for which the burner Is made
should be consumed. One good light is much
more economical than several bad ones. That
with all classes Of burners, the light obtain
ed from the smallest sizes is always costly.
In many instances the consumer by using
them pays two or three times mere forlight-
ing his premises than would be necessary if
| proper burners were employed. Whenever
defective burners are found the consumer
should not hesitate to replace them imme-
| diately, for the expense is speedily repaid by
the economy effected and brilliancy of light
obtained
With Fishtail burners glass globes are
commonly used for the purpose of ornament.
They are very desirable in private dwellings
but present a serious obstruction to the diff
fusion Of light. According to the
opinion Of Mr.. King, Jr., Of Liverpool,
the light lost by them Is as follows
Light obstructed by a clear glass

Gas is seyond all comparison safer than
any other means of artificial illumination. 1t
is much cleaner than candles or lamps and
Is more congsnial, as its position, when prop
erly placed, is above the line Of vision, so
that the eyelids eefve 10 rrosecr the eve from
its direct rays.
Gas consumers have generally vague idea
of the quality of gas; defects of every denom-
ination which exist on their premises, where
by the supply Is rendered inadequate, are
often attributed to the bad quality of the gas,
| and, aS shown in treating of burners and
glasses, frequently one-half or two-thirds of
the light that might be derived is lost The
consumer then complains Of the high price Of
bad gas, ' little imagining this to be the
result Of his own misnanagement; vet. such
Is the fact. Many people imagine when a
flame gives forth smoke that it arises from the
badquality ofthe'gas. whereas the reverse Is the
case This smoke is the Illuminating con-
situent, indeed the ssurse of light and if it be
allowed TO escape unc0nsumed, it Is not the
fault Of the gas but the manner in which it
il employed
This Is easily demonstrated with an ordi-
nary oil lamp; if the cotton of this be prop
erly trimmed and the glass chimney suitably
| adjusted, the same IS clear and bright, but
on removing the chimney, or allowing an ex-
cess of wick, the flame becomes dull. and
emts smoke in abundance Or with an ordi-
nary tallow candle; if left unsuufied, it he
comes smokey, and gives but little light. In
like manner, gas being improperly used, IN
excess Of smoke and diminished light must
be ex pected

The SOCIAL EVIL HosPITAL ArST LOUIS
By the Inauguration of this institution. We
expect to do more than to attack the evil in
physical point of view We expect. also,
to reach it in moral point, by establishing
a reformatory institution, where those who
are disposed TO enter upon new life will
be taught the means of honest self-support,
and thus placing in their hands the means
Of resisting the temptations that. owing to
their dependent condition, caused them to
fall. All this will be accomplished without
any expense to the city, as the tax that is
levied on these people, (and which, it is
said, they eheerfully pay,) is ample to pro-
vide all and more than the necessary funds
to carry out this object And while on this
subject, and as many are of the belief that
the fact of legally regulating houses of
prostitution causes an increase Of the evil, |
am happy to be able to state that such is not
the fact. There has been an actual decrease
of the number Of these houses and their in
mates since the establishment of this law,
and the decrease in disease is fully so per

The law taking away the monopoly Of the

hearing Of the mass, 50 this fair candidate
for matrimony opines that the estate to
which she feels a vocation is cheaply pur-
chased by forswearing the same. So she
