as an elephant, we can see all the
wonderful parts of its formation, and
are astonishcd 20 find that it has a
coat Of armor much moro complete
than ever warrior wore, aud composed
of strong polished plates, fitted over
each other, each plate like n tortoise
shell, and whore they meet hundreds
of small quilts project like those on
the back oi porcupino or hedgehog.
There are the arched mock, the bright
oyee, the transparent cases, piercers to
puncturo the skin, n sucker to draw
away the blood, six long legs, four of
which are folded ON the breast, all
roady at any moment to be thrown
out with tremendous force for that
Jump which bothers one when they
want TO catch him, and at the end OF
each leg hooked claws, TO enable him
to cling on to whatever he lights upon.
A lea can Jump hundred times its

man jumped five hundred feet and
he can draw load two hundred times
bis own weight.

His subjects being born of God, pos

by his name. But If any man have
not the spirit of Christ, hc is none Of
his, and consequently has no right to
be called by his name. The laws Of
Christ, by which all his spiritual sub
Jects are governed, are inapplicable to
worldly organizations.
II, for instance, the United States

The efforts of an aspiring clergy to
SO change our Constitution as to make
their religious dogmas a part of the
organic law, betrays desire on their
part for union Of church and state
and the total abrogation of that lib
erty of conscience which our fathers
intended to sccuro.to all the citizens
OF these States throughout all time.
When human governments can rep
resent their subjects at the bar of
God, and relieve them from their per
sonal responsibility to the eternal
Judge, it will be soon enough for
them TO dictate by legislative enact
ments, enforced by pains and penal
ties, what shall be their religious faith,
how, when and TO whom they shall
pray, and at what altar they shall
kncel.
Perfect freedom of conscience, and
the liberty for every one to contend
for his faith, from the pulpit and from
the press, with protection to all in the
full enjoyment oftbeir religion, leaves
truth free to combat error, and covers
all the ground lawful for us TO occupy.
What if our neigbors do not wor-
ship at our altar, or subscribe to our
faith; and even suppose they profess
or practice no religion at ali does
that infringe upon or interfere with
our rightsy Certainly not. To God
alone they are responsible. Surely
the right is not given to any of us TO

WHAT CAME OF A ToMBoY.-Miss
Martha knight is a good looking sirl
who was born in Boston, and very
early in life mortified her parents and
their friends by being that childish
feminine monstrosity called "Tom-
boy" She cared nothing for dolls
and miniature housekeeping, like 9th
er little girls, but wanted gimlets and
augers, and saws and hatchets, and
nails aud lumber to work with. In
stead of learning TO sew on dolls
clothes, she made seds and wagons
and kites for her numbscul brothem,
and she finally became wonder of
mechanical genius. Her taste ran
that way, and her friends concluded
10 let it go when they found they
could not stopit. Miss Martha Knight,
being poor, went into q papor-bag
mandatory 10 earn her livelihood,
OF course such a girl could not stay
at home and Grone away her life at
the family frcsidc, She went to work
like man, and has now become ia-
nous and tho, pride of the old folks.
She has won the distinction of being
the FIRST female inventor that ever re
ceived patent for complete inven-
tion at Washington. Her invention
is machine for making paper bags
Several attempts had previously been
made in this direction by men OF me-
chanlcal genius, and all had failed
This "Tomboy" has now done it, and
made n success. Unaidod she drew
her plans, and she superintendent the
putting up of tho machinery at Am.
hcrst, Mass. 1t works well, aud hor
everlasting fortune is made.

Somebody's eyes have grown DINNER
On In some quiet old home;
AT morn, when the evening stars glimmor,
Watching for some one to come
Watching while heart grows the sickcr,
AS day after day glides along,
Watching while tears fall the thicker,
Choking the lullaby song.
Somebody, wandering over
Lands far away from bis own,
scents as Of old the sweet clover
That grows hy tho old aas. syosv,r
Longs TO go back and TO mingle,
As in the dim days of yorc,
With those round the old cottage lnglc,
Those who, alas are no more.
Somebody's prayers are ascending
Ever for dear ones away,
Prayers that His blessing attending
May keep them from going astray;
Prayers that font nearer and nearer
The throne of the Father above,
And, reaching the ear Of the Hearer,
Are answered in infinite love.
Somebody's lifc-work is ended
Patient they wait now to go;
Long have they faithfully wended
Toilsone paths here below.
Soon the reward they'll be reaping
That to the faithful is given
swell done; come up !" and be keeping
Watch for somebody in Heaven.

the church to-day, viewing the progress of this
work and the disnterment of the remains OF
the Rev. Mr. Balch, the first pastor, whose rest
g-place was marked by a monumental stone
I'm the front wall of the church. Lieut.. Hurley
detailed sufficient force of police to prevent
any disorder. The remains were removed by
MIR. Richard X. Shekells. and reinforced i'm the
old Presbyterian burial ground on Market
street, between 18th and 9Th streets. The re-
moval OF this venerable edifce is looked upon
with deep regret by many old citizens whose

gress is the order of the day.
