Gold and Glitter.

A correspondent writing from the
City of Mexico says; 1 can not pre-
tend to give a description of the Ca
thedral. Inever saw so much gold
and silver used as ornaments in the
interior of building in all my life
solid silver colnmns, ten or twelve
feet high, supporting golden candle
sticks, surround every altar; bronze
ratings protect the precious decora-
tions from the curiosity of the de-
vout wOrshipers. In every recess
was an altar, at some of which during
my visit, ladies, gorgeously attired,
were kneeling on the bare floor be-
side the filthy Indian saying mass,
and each alike dropped their fee
much or little, as the case may be
into the golden box which the at
tendant held out. Paintings on the
walls, gold wrappings around the sa-
cred alcoves, and FURNISHED gold and
silver in great masses behind the
principal altar, make the interior o-e
scene of splendOr.

A Terrible Picture.

The following extract from speech
delivered short time since at Terre
Haute, Indiana, by the Rev. G. G..
Talbot, is sufficient to send thrill
of horror through the veins of the
most Indifferent reader. Mr.. Talbot
was once an Episcopal clergyman of
high standing, but became, in an evil
hour, the victim of intemperance, and
was expelled from his diocese. His
downward course, however, was ar
rested by the great temperance move
ment now going on. He has re-
nounced strong drink, and is now
taking an active part in the crusade
movement out west:
Though the words choke me, lam
here tonight to say that every ex-
perience of my life is that wine is a
moeker, and that nothing is proof
against. the seductive siren. The
mightiest and greatest intellects of
the world are blasted by her strate-
gems. 1t found me in the ranks of
those who press to battle for the

Fault Finders.

They are about as plentiful nova
days as Spanish needles in Idle Jim's
cornfeld in the month of November,
and you might as reasonably hope to
pass through Jim's field and avoid
contact with the one as to go through
the world and escape being annoyed
by the other.
As a class, or as individuals, they
are not to be ignored.
What you do, what YOU say and
what you wear, and your affairs gen.
orally, are of much greater inter
est to them than those which lie
nearer home. And they fret and
fume, groan and grumble over your
real or imaginary short comings.
quite as much as though they expect
ed to be held responsible for them.
Indeed, they keep themselves quite
busy picking at little notes and
blemishes in you, but the big beams,
the great snarly, knotty points in
their own character seem to cause
them no uneasiness. Do as you may,
act as You will, you can't please
them. No step you take, no course
you pursue, meets with their ap-
proval. You hear their complaints
at every turn.
But don't get discouraged, dear
reader; even fault-fnders serve pur-
pose, and if they don't go upon their
mission from very pure motives, they
sometimes unwittingly do US good.
Put them down upon your list of
necessary evils" and philOsOphically
resolve to make the most of them.

Not Much.

The story of the absent-minded
man who, meeting his own son in the
street, shook hands with him and
asked aim how his father was, has
been equaled by the fOrgetfulness of
a Wisconsin farmer. This man drove
to town to transact some business, and
was accompanied by his wife. Leav-
ing her at a dry goods store, he pro-
ceeded to carry out his intentions.
Having finished his business, he for
got all about the little circumstance OF
bringing his wife with him, and
started home alone. Arriving there
he put his horses out and proceeded
to do the chores. In the meantime
his wife had learned that her husband
had left town without her. Hiring q

She didn't wait to take off her things,
but seizing a press-board made her

A Singular Practice.

Some of the hill tribes in Northern
India have a singular way Of sending
their babes to sleep, which is thus
described by a correspondent: "Near
hollow bamboo, which served as a
spout, through which the cool water
of the mountain stream poured forth
in jet, was disposed the head of an
infant, who was lying covered warmly
and fast asleep. The bamboo spout
was so placed that the water played
upon the crown of the baby's head,
over a part which seemed bald of
hair, a consequence, perhaps, of the
habitual action of the water. The
children (there were two of them
were lying on their right sides and
perfectly still, one would fancy in a
state of stupefaction. They had
been lying for an hour and half, we
were told, and would be there till
nine at night; in all, between four
and five hours. 1 felt the face of one
of them and found it cold, ard then
held the wrist but could detect no
pulse. Yet these hill people are con-
vinced that the strange practice,
which is quite general, helps to
strengthen the brain, and makes the
children not only healthy, but hardy
and fearless"

xf&A@H TO Tue GtS1t
There was a deep silence in the
room, even the kettle forgot to sing;
als silent but the old ticking clock.
So, in the silence, Miss Fanshaw's
laughing eyes closed, and her fingers,
pricked with scores of needles, were
now crossed deyoutly ON her breast;
and her lips moved with the words:
For our blessings, Lord, make us
truly thankful. Amenr'
Milly's eyes grew rounder and
larger than ever. When Mrs. Fan
shaw lifted her sweet bleached face,
twas as light as if in some way the
Lord himself looked out of it.
Miss Fanshawr'
"What, dearie?" "Will you have
a sip of tea"
''Do you always say it?''
'Why, to be sure l do-(have a
lump Of sugar in?)-only usually
say 1 and me. Now, you know its soe
and as."
by do you say it? Our folks do
You see Milly (have a bit Of but
ter2-tliere's more on the shelf y
you see have so much to be thank
full for. Bless your heart! Why, l
keep singing within me all the time,
l am so thankful"
''What for, Miss Fanshaw" Milly
had forgotten to eat.
''What for? Why, if it amt one
thing it is another. If it is not the
broken candles the grocer gives, it is
the liver from the Grimes in killing
time; and if it is not the liver, it is
the shirts to make for the Picksnif s,
and if it is not the shirts, it is the
sitting in the pew of Miss Markham !;
and if it is not the pew, it is the
chips from the new barn building !;
and if it is not the chips have bit

comes down for me to look at; and

and awe.
-fsay, Miss Fanshaw, don't you
ever say me any more. You just
play I am here, and you say (lifting
her small hands) Lord make as tru

A tear came in Miss Fanshaw's
eyes.
'Yes, dearie, it shall be us after
this. Anyway, all that love the
Lord are us. 1t is just like the
ring around a-rosy' in the school
play. We all have hold of hands,
and are "us''-only the ring goes all
around the big world"
Miss Fanshaw and her little guest
finished their tea, and cleared away
the dishes, and gathered up the
fragments, that nothing might be
wasted, then put them in the basket,
and went forth in the snow and the
growing darkness to carry blessings
to the poor woman around the cor
