The IdoIafry Of the Chinese.

A young merchant, born in China,
but educated in this country, has fur
nished some particulars regarding the
Chinese and their religion. He says
that the ''mass of the people are what
are commonly termed idolaters, but
many worship heaven, earth, the spirits
of the land and grain, Confucius and
the sages. As to the gods of wood and
stone, &C., there are confused ideas
among the Chinese, as there are also
among other nations, in regard to them.
Originally the image or picture was used
only to remind one of the gods, in which
case the Divinity only was worsliipped,
who was supposed to be spiritually
present. Afterwards there began to be
an impression amongst many people
that the image was the house or dwelling
place of the god, and, therefore, images
are not regarded as of any use unless
they have been properly consecrated by
the priest with religious ceremonies.
and the presence and in-dwelling of the
god invoked. There are undoubtedly
very many who inconsiderately bow
down before the idols and worship them
without inquir1ng much about it. The
gods worshipped by the Chinese are
heavens, earth, the sun, moon, and
some of the stars, the spirits OF the land
and grain, the dragon of the clouds, of
the sea, and of the earth, and deified
heroes, sages, and ancestors.

A New Exploration Of the Libyan
Desert.

Two baggage wagons recently passed
through Leipsic en- route to Trieste,
the enormous hight and unusual appear
ance of which attracted general atten-
tion. They were destined for the expe-
dition which has just begun the arduous
labor of exploring the great Libyan
desert. Among other odd fittings, the
two vehicles carried some five hundred
empty iron boxes, intended for water
tanks. Each vessel is enameled inside
and has a capacity of about fourteen
gallons, so that supply can be trans
ported, sufficient to render the travellers
independent of the casual finding OF
wells or springs.
The Viceroy of Egypt, it is under
stood, is to defray the expense of the
expedition, and this in addition to the
large sums, amounting to some $500, 600
yearly, which he has given for some
time past to aid the labors of Sir Samuel
Baker, the German traveller Schwein-
furth, and the zoologist Hoeckel As
to results, it is probable that our geo.
graphical knowledge of the eastern por-
ton of the Desert of Sahara will be
materially increased, and that the char
acteristics of an untraveled portion of
the globe, as large as the whole of CEN
tral Europe, will be made known.
The party left Egypt during the be-
ginning of December, starting for Ia
rafieh. The objective point is koufra,
in the center of the desert, which, it is
expected, will be reached by the last OF
January.

Moorish Brides.

The condition of women in Morocco
is most pitiable. They are all slaves,
and the lot of those who are so avowedly
and technically is much less miserably
dull, monotonous, and degraded than
that of the ladies who are supposed to
repose on satin divans, sip sherbet, eat
dainty devices In sugar, and string
pearls in the harem, in which their occu-
pations are in reality much more prosaic,
and their surrounding much less splen-
did. The wedding festivities are ex-
ceedingly barbarous, the unhappy bride
being carried to her husbands house in
a box, on a mules back, with little
boy also shut up with her in durauce,
as happy prognostic of the future. A
box of sweetmeats is also placed in the
box, to while away the time and console
the small boy. A horrible noise, howl
ing, drumming, firing, is kept up the
whole way; and the female relations of
the bridegroom who does not appear at
all, receive tie bride on the threshold
with appalling shrieks of "Ah-yee !
Ah-yeei Z" The box is carried IN, the
door is shut, the friends disperse. but
the musicians remain, and the horrible
din goes on for hours. No religious
ceremony takes place, and the fattening
of the bride is the only preparation on
her part for holy matrimony. "For this
purpose" says the author of "a Winter
in Morocco" from the time of her be-
trothal she is confined to one room, not
permitted to take any exercise, and COM
pelled to swallow large quantities of
kesksoo every day. This system, stead
fastly pursued for few weeks, brings
her into condition that is considered
in Morocco becoming obesity. have
heard of an intended bride so fat that
she was unable to pick up her pocket
handkerchief when she dropped it, and
who could with difficulty move across
the room without assistance"

Pefrarch.s Tomb.

A singular ceremony lately took place
at Arqua. in North Italy, where Petrarch
lies buried. The tomb of the poet was
opened in the presence of the municipal
officers of the town and few invited
spectators that the remains had been
inclosed in an imperfectly-made coffin,
and that the bones, thus exposed to the
effects to the atmosphere, were dis
colored and moist. The skull, of me-
dium size, was entire, the development
of the forehead being yet perceptible.
Several of the teeth were well preserved,
and the bones of the body were but
little decayed. From the size of the
skeleton it was easy to infer that Pet
rarch must have been large, robust
man.
Permission to examine these honored
remains had been given by the authori-
ties to certain students of anthropology,
and it was to aid in their researches
that the coffin was opened. These gen.
tlemen took accurate measurements of
the remains, which were then carefully
placed in new coffin. The brief expo
sure to the air, however, had its effect,
and the skull partially fell in, while
some of the bones were resolved into
dust before the eyes of the spectators
of this curious exhibition Of mortality.

Miscellany.
The Music of the Thrush.

The thrush is scarcely surpassed by
any other bird excepting the nightin-
gale, and pours forth his full wealth of
song in every varied form, upheaving
his parded breast, and looking out upon
the still landscape with bright restless
ewes. We hear him singing in the early
morning before the round sun has
scaled the hill-tops; he keeps up his
roll of music throughout the day, and
closes at night without any apparent
fatigue; there is no diminution of sound;
no feebleness he seems more like a
good instrument, which, after being
played on for hours, sends forth a
sweeter sound he is no weak traveller,
who, having gone long days journey,
drags YEARLY up the last hill at sunset.
You cannot fail to distinguish his
voice from among the warblers of the
woods; not that his notes are always
alike, but there is some regular modula-
ton, or natural sweetness, which, how
ever varied, "still does his touch the
strain prolong," and you know it is his
own, and could not be deceived even if
he had hidden himself in the carcass of
an owl.
1 recollect well, that nearly one of the
first birds L reared when a country boy,
was thrush he was the pride and
delight of the whole neighborhood !;
even the neighbors forgave him break
ing their slumber so early in the morn
ing, for the sweetness of his song. An
old fisherman who arose with the break
of day, and who resided in the adjoining
house, made the opening of his music
a clock to get up by; and he never was
deceived in the time but once, and that
was one really beautiful moonlight
morning. which streamed in brilliant
beams through the opening in the win
dow shutters, and lured the lovely bird
into the belief that it was day.-EngLish

Lessons OF Winter.

There is no season of the year so well
calculated to bind us together in the
ties of a common brotherhood as the
present. Nature claims and receives
our sympathy in all her varied aspects.
In the spring we rejoice in her renewed
activity. and greet with delight her
balmy air and budding beauty. As the
summer approaches, we disperse to be-
hold her in new phases and to enjoy her
cool breezes from mountain and sea.
In the fall we witness with tender sad
ness the departure of the gorgeous foli-
age and rich bloom, and still linger
lovingly among her shadows. But when
nature puts on her winters dress, she
the bleak wind and stinging frost she
sends us from her presence for time,
and bids us draw closer to one another
for warmth and comfort. She brings
more forcibly to the mind the delights
of home and friends, and at the same
time speaks impressively of the pain
and sorrow, poverty and woe that call
for sympathy and help. Each season
has its appropriate lesson, and that
of winteris surely intended to strengthen
within us the spirit of humanity that
shall blossom into brotherly love and
kindness. As the dusk of twilight calls
the children away from outdoor play to
assemble in the home, and brighten the
family with their cheerful presence, so
winter calls the human family from their
summer rambles into more intimate
communion and sympathy with each
other.
1t is a pleasant task to learn one part
of winters teachings, that which relates
to social and domestic union. The fes-
tivities of Thanksgiving an9 Christmas,
the long winter evenings, the cheerful
freside, the lectures, concerts and social
gatherings, the hilarity of the young,
and the cheerful sympathy of the old,
all draw families and friends together
in closer bonds. All honor to the merry
pastimes, the genial society, the friendly
harmony which winter inaugurates.
Let parents and children devote them
selves more assiduously to each other,
let brothers and sisters strengthen fra
ternal love by kindly offices and close
companionship, let acquaintances bios
som into friends, and friendly inter-
course ripen affection, and, above all,
let the sympathy thus developed serve
to inspire each with higher purposes
and nobler aims, and one part of winters
mission will have been accomplished.

Rem Franklin on Official Salaries

Ben Franklin had, in his time, very
clear ideas on the salary question. He
was the author of the primitive consti-
tuition of Pennsylvania, while in con-
dition Of transition from colonial to
confederate government. The thirty
sixth article was as follows Gas every
free man, to preserve his independence
(if he has not sufficient estate) ought
to have some profession calling. trade
or farm, whereby he may honestly sub
sist, there can be no necessity for, nor
use in, establishing offices of profit,
the usual effects of which are dependence
and servility unbeconing freeman in
the possessors and e1pectants, faction,
contention, corruption and disorder
among the people. Wherefore, when
ever an Office, through increase of fees
or otherwise, becomes so profitable as
to occasion many to apply for it, the
profits ought to be lessened by the legis-
lature,"

GIRLS AND BOYs OF GERMANY. -
Throughout Germany, wherever girls
can be employed to advantage. they are
taken in preference to young men. At
Munich the clerks and bOok-keepers in
the banks are nearly all young and hand
some girls. At the depots, many of
those who attend the windows for the
sale of tickets are girls, and the cashiers
in all the cafes and restaurants are of
the same sex. They are generally very
expert at figures, and in mental arith-
metic have no superiors. In view of
the fact that so many females are en-
ployed IN the rougher and hardest de-
scriptions of laboring work, it speaks
well for the sex that they are seeking
and securing more desirable and lucra-
tive employment. We are under the
impression in America that our young
men are not as steady and staid as they
ought to be !; but they are miracles of
steadiness compared to the average
young men in Germany. The students
at Heidelberg can give them a start of
half day, and beat them before bed
time. They don't drink strong liquor !;
coffee, beer, or wine being the extent of
their hbations bu. they devote the
best part of the day 10 the cafe or the
beer saloon, reading the papers, playing
billiards, chatting, ~ studying the
plates in the numerous satirical Illus
trated papers. How the many thou
sands of young men in Vienna obtain a
living and clothing, who are always to
be found in the coffee-hoLse, is mys-
terry "that no fellow can fni out"

A magnificent view it was. A few miles

all was fertile and green; and all along
its peaceful banks, and overhanging its
waters, were the beautiful rose-pink
oleanders, the "lilies of the valley" of

with its clumsy wheel. and a couple of
pomegranates, shaded one corner of
this part of the river, and under their
shade, sitting up to their shoulders in
the water, on the huge round powders
of which the bottom of the river is CON-

The Sword and the Pen.

The sword of the warrior was taken
down for the purpose of being polished.
1t had not been long out OF use. The
rust was rubbed off, but there were spots
that would not go-they were of blood.
The sword was placed on the table near
the pen of the warriors secretary. The
pen took advantage of the first breath of
air to move a little further off. "Thou
art right" said the sword, 81 am bad
neighbor." 81 fear thee not," replied
the pen, 81 am more powerful than thou
art but love not thy society" 81

Taking Aim.

There were four little boys
Who started to 90
Forth from the same spot
To make tracks in the snowi
He that made his path strzig htest,
They had in their plaa,
or all Of the four
Should be their best man
Now, these four little boys
Were Philip and John,
And merry-fseed Harry,
And sober-eyed Dan,
The best friends in the world,
And full OF invention
In play-but they seldom
Were found In contention.
Well, they started together,
And hurried along,
But John, Don, aud Harry
somehow went quite wrong;
The fourth made his path
Nearly straight and they wondered,
When all tried alike,
Why they three had blundered.
Then Philip replied,
The reason, you see,
Though no harder I tried
To succeed than you three,
] p1shed for that oak,
Going forward quite ready,
While you struggled on
Without aim, and unsteady"
Now, You see, my dear boys,
What such lessons teach,
II there is point
That you wish to reach
A Position in life
At all worth the naming,
II you gain it twill greatly
Depend on your aiming.
