The New Schooner Yacht Ariel-Hcr
Dimensions and Accom- mod n tiOns.
The schooner yacht on the stocks at the yard Of
Messrs Poilon Brothers, foot Of Bridge street,
Brooklyn, is SO far progressed that she will be
launched IN few days, possibly on the 14th inst.
1t has been decided by her owner Commodore W.
l. Swan, Of the Seawanhaka Yacht Club, to name
the craft Ariel, and as she in model is precisely
like the schooner Clio, built this season at the
same yard, there Is much interest among yachts
men as to their relative merits in the matter Of
speed and weathery qualities.
The Ariel has been constructed in the very best
manner, and materials used that will give her
great strength, being much heavier than have been
put in yachts OF her class built by the same firm
Her dimensions are follows Length OF keel, 81
feet; length on water line 81 feet inches length
on deck, 81 feet; length over all. 70 feet; breadth
OF BEAM Is feet inches; depth Of hold, feet.
The frame ID of white oak, hackmatack,
manshp. The knees are OF hackmatack, the
panking or oak and the deck OF white pine. The
ioremast and mainmast are in position, while all
the spars are finished and ready to be used. The
dimensions OF these are :-ForeInast, So feet MAIN
mast, 50 feet; foretopmast, 2s feet; maintopmast,
inches main gan, rs feet fore gaff 10 feet; flying
jibboom. II feet; bowsprit outboard, 20 feet.
The accommodations OF the Ariel will be very
ample and elegantly appointed. There will be
three TOomy staterOOms, finished with hardwood
trimmings and upholstered In the prettleSt 1magin
able taste. The saloon Is OF very large size and
hardwood finish Of exquisite contrast viii here be

nicely fitted up, while the f0recastle is large and

Of the Arel's dimensions are very ro0my, and, in
fact, from present indications, the int.
rOr OF the yacht when finished will be
surpassed by few OF her class improvements
of every nature have been introduced by Mr..
Swan particularly In what craft OF this character
desires in the plumbing line. All this work that is
seen Is highly Ornamented, and Messrs. Bishop h
O'Grady have been very successful In that portion
furnished the retiring rooms because OF its simple
and improved character Every particle OF space
has been or will he utilized below, and on the day
OF launching the friends OF the owner may form
pretty correct opinion OF what she will be in few
weeks.
The Ariel will be added to the New York and At

the Clio, before the season IL fully opened, Will

PRETTY DRUNK.-Joe. W wac never
drunk but once, and that time he was
drank as fool" Consequently, his
wife, who was very pious woman, Was
very much shocked when one night he
started home under the influence OF
liquor. After demonstrating with him
about the folly Of drinking, she said,
"Joe, when we were married, and
became one, littla thought l should
ever see you in this condition"
Who can imagine the devoted wifes
thoughts when Joe made her the
following:
Vsll, Mary, dear (hic), I know I
am pretty drunk (hic,; that's a fact
But Mary, as we (hic) were made, one
by marriage, then (hio you must be
pretty drunk, too, hicJ."

oae True Religion

Tho sky, whether studded with
azure stars, or with rich gold and pur
pie, or one azure field over which the
sun wheels his glowing course, presents
al"ayS1a glorious, occasionally very
extraordinary appearance. Not one.
but two suns are there; and in tina
Artic regions, as if to compensate the
long periods when their skies are left
to perpetual night, there are soma
times three blazing away in brilliant
rivalry, and shedding increase of light
on sparkling icebergs and dreary wastes
OF SNOW Yet, though there were not
three, but three hundred suns, only one
OF them could be true SUM- The 9th
ers, which are produced by peculiar
state Of the atmosphere, being though
bright yet mere images, analogous, to
borrow familiar illustration, to the
multiplied candles that shine Oh the sill
vered faces Of a reflector. AS with
these suns, so is it with the various re
igious systems of the world. There
are many numbered not by units, but
hundreds. Almost every new. country
that yoyagers have discovered has,
with new flowers and new animals.
presented a new form of faith. The
world has no building big enough to
hold all the gods that men do worship
Yet though greater in essential differ
ences, than the races of mankind-fori
differing in color and contour as the
negro and the white man do, they meet
in Adam; God having made Of one
blood all the families of the earth
among these: many religions there is
but one true. the rest are false-false "a
the mock suns of an Arctic sky. For
as God Is one, truth is one sand though
the true may be separated from the
false by a line as sharp as the edge of
a razor, still they stand as irreconcila-
bic as If they were parted by the whole
distance OF the poles. There are 'lords !
many and gods many" yet but one
true God; even SO there are many |
faiths and forms of religion, and yet |
but one pure and indebted before

SELECTED STORY.
co1MAN Il co., "pER c."

L am Louis CONAN, half OF the hrm
long and well known in the country as
Colman & Co. want to tell you how
| worked my way to this position. At
the age Of fifteen, with my free con-
sent, my father signed articles which
bound me to give to William r. Lee,
cabinet-maker, the labcr Of three years.
In lieu Of board, clothing, etc, the
usual equivalent given, I was to receive
one dollar per week, and at tho expira-
ton of the three years, fifty dollars in
money. My home, in the mean
time, was with my father, who boarded
and clothed me.
A backward look over those three
years seems pleasant to ME. ! suppose
many times during my apprenticeship
| longed for more liberty, more leisure
and more money, of something different
from what I had. should hardly
have been an average boy if had not,
but in the main l was tolerably con-
tented.
So eighteen came The heir of an
English estate, or the happy day when
he was to take possession, could hardly,
l think, have felt happier than I. Upon
the morning of the day when my in
dentures were to cease, Mr. Lee came
to me and said:
q suppose I shall have to. tell you
that have no further claim upon your
time after TO -night?"
felta certain amount Of indepen-
dence as l replied:
Il know it, sir, and drew sigh Of
relief.
Come to the Office after hours" he
said, and turned away.
In the Office at night I met my
father, who, with me, saw the writing
Cancelled. | then received fifty dollars,
shook hands witt, MI. Lee, and turned
to leaYe the office
"Ons moment" said Dir. Lee; ''haye
you any plans for the future?"
''No sir." said promptly; tomorrow
is my eighteenth birthday, and l want
to spend it without thought of any
thing"
He smiled a little gravely and then
| said:
"Well, take week to think of
nothing, and then como back to me-"
Outside found my fellow-workmen
waiting to give me cheer, for it was
customary among us on such occasions
to have general handshake.
Come, Colman, can we not have
beer7" said several voices.
This was also customary, and
hesitated q moment, but something said
to me, "begin now as you expect to go
on" and | said:
''Three times the sum, boys, in any
thing else you like; but let us have no
| drinks"
'That's SO said one OF the number;
remember poor Stearns."
Stearns was man whom Lee had
employed again and again A week
since he had been turned away because
he came to his work intoxicated, and
we knew he had no work since.
Mears remark gave me thought,
and turned quickly and said:
| eff the crowd will forego treats
oysters, OF what it may be, we'll agree
| to send the money to Stearn's wife and
family"
Ny plan took well, and was seconded
not only with words, but deeds, and
| we deputized, Little Torn," as he was
called, to take the money to Stearn'
house.
"And mind" said Mears again, 'yo,
give it to Stearns' wife, else it may ye
| go for drink"
Then / went home and spent th'
week afterin idleness. Perhaps ough
to have felt guilty of waste Of time.

The pure the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse to a worldless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth,
The longing after something lost:
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can nsycz die.
The ti,nid hand stretched forth 50 a.d
brother IN his need,
The kindly word in sriofs dark hour,
That proves a friend indeed
The plea fer mercy, softly bIcathed,
When justice threatened high,
The sorrow Of Z contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand,
Tho pressure of kiss,
nd all tho TRIES sweet and frail.
That make up life's first bliss;
II with firm, Unchsngins faith,
And holy trust and high,
These hands have claspsd and lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as 1t fell;
The chilling want OF sympathy
We feel but never tell;
The hard repulse that chlis the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
IN er unfadlng record kert--
Those things shall never Gle.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do:
Lose not chance to awaken love,
Be firm, and just and true.
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee,
These things shall never die.

Silent Influenza.

A young professor ofreligiNn, in ao-
cspting an invitation for an evenings
ENTERTAINMENT found herself most uni
expectedly in company where all
were engaged in card-playing. She
could not leave the circle, or express
her disapprobation of the unehristian
mode of amusement She could only
sit quietly by herself and lift prayer
for the dear friends around her. This
she did, and departed for her home at
the close Of the evening.
Years passed. The circumstances
had nearly left her memory. One day
friend inquired, ''Do you remember
being present at an evening party when
all but yourself were engaged in card
playings You sat silently by saying
nothing on the subject but refusing to
participate in the game,--was
among the guests Your silent dis
Appreciation smcte her heart, and was
the means of her conversion. She ded

/ We are either scattering abroad on

unimportant act, may affect the eternal
interest of a young inquirer who is
