How TO MAKE MIsCHIEF.-keep your
eve on your neighbors. Take care of
them. Do not let them stir without watch
ing. They may do something wrong If you
do. To be cure, you never knew them to
do any thing bad, but it may he on your
account they have not. Perhaps If it had
not been for your kind care, they might
have disgraced themselves long time ago
Therefore do not relax any effort to keep
them where they ought to be. Never mind
your own business-that will take care of
itself. There is man passing alJng-he
is looking over the fence-be suspicious of
him perhaps he contemPlates stealing,
some of these dark nights there is no
knowing what queer fancles may have got
into his head.
Ii you find any symptoms of any one
passing out of the path of duty, tell every
one else what you and be particular
to see great many. 1t is good way to
circulate such things, though it may not
benefit yourself particularly. Do keep
something going-silence is dreadful
thing though it is said there was silence
in heaven for the space of half an hour, do
notslet any such thing occur on earth, it
would be too much for this mundane
sphere.
If, after all your watchful care, yoa eau
not see any thing out of the way in any one,
you may be sure it is not because
they have not done anything bad perhaps
in au uuguarded moment you Lost sight Of
them-throw ont hints that they are no
better than they ought to be, that you
what they were after little while, then
they may not hold their head so high.
Keep it going, and some one else may take
the hint, aud begin to help you along after
a while, then there will be music, ard
every thing will work to a charm.

Archbishop Manning, by the force of his
zeal and genius, evokes even from hostile
criticism acknowledgement of his greatness.
The Daily Telegraph, of London, could
burn a Catholic if it had to do so, and yet
it cannot carp at the great Archbishop of
Westminster. Lately it took occasion to
make some comments on him and devoted
a leader to the subject We take the fol-
lowing excerpt from that journal
Archbishop Manning took the chair at
the great meeting in Hyde Park on Satur-
day, and, in telling the working men they
were bound to support the hospitals OF
Lon don, he spoke with all the more force
because his words were at once manly and
unprofessional. He knows the strength of
the suspicion that the priests, and especial
ly the Bishops, of his Church have cast
themselves loose from the deepest interests
of English life and take their orders from
abroad in the spirit of those French clergy
whose Cardinal Archbishop boasts in the
senate, "My priests are regiment, and
when say to them march, they march,"
Archbishop Manning knows how much
mischief has been done in England to the
reputation and the power of his Church
by the belief that he, and such as he, are
equally at the beck OF sovereign powers,
and that they obey the word of command
with maCnln6-Ik6 ulSuatu OL LILO HI
finitely small concerns of this country.
But he is taking the surest and swiftest
means TO challenge the truth of that
conviction by losing no opportunity of
showing his interests in the sobriety of the
working people, in their wages. and in
those hospitals WHICH are especially theirs:
Hs may or he may not succeed; but, at all
events, his philanthropical labors can do
nothing save good to the public. If rival
Bishops dread the influence which he and
his clergymeu may thus gain over the
working people, they have quick and easy
emedy--they can do likewise. Archbishop
Manning was the only prelate who attended
the great meeting which was held in Exeter
Hall to hear Joseph Arch's explanation of
the state of the agricultural laborers, and on
thaa occasion he was not terrified by the
appearance of Mr.. Bradlaugh on the same
platform. If the Arohbishops and Bishops
of the Establishment do not follow his ex-
ample, they can not wonder that some among
the working people should look coldly on
the EpiscOpate.

lScribner's Monthly.l

lscribner's MonthlyI
The climate of our Northern States, by rea-
son of the severe winters and the sudden
changes all the year round, has an unmstaka-
BILE tendency to lpjnre the voice. 1t begets q
catarrh, which is apt to become chronic, and
which is incompatible with vocal sweetness.
Europeans frequently remark harshness OF
voice in the people of the North-not without
much Justice. If, however, by reason of cl-
me- attic influence We cannot all have soft, rich
organs of speech, we can, with proper care,
conceal, and sometimes remedy, many natural
detects. This may be done, in great measure,
by attention to the pitch of the voice. which
should always be in the lower register. BY
the use of lower tones, and by talkicg with
deliberation, thin, high, even discordant
voice is much relieved; and in due time the
organ itself undergoes modification, if not
complete readjustment Many persons, by long
observation of this rule have overcome
glarng deficiencies as to be enabled to conceal
them entirely. 1t is always the high, thin
notes in speaking that offend the ear. When
these are not used bat low and distinct ones,
the sense of hearing is soothed and pleased.
A good way to regulate the voice Is to exer-
else it with piano, trying to harmonlze 1T
with the lower notes. Aiccess may not be
promising at first; but perseverance Will &C.
complish great deal. 1t is not necessary to
have musical talent or knowledge. The dull
est, the most uneducated ear will recognize the
accord and eventually profit by II. Exercise
of this sort for half an hour or so daily can
scarcely fail to produce very desirable results,
pitch in speaking. One will help the other !;
and the two combined will prove the best
practical vocal education that can be devised.
The training Of the voice ought to begin
with childhood. Then the organ is more hex-
ible and adaptable than it is at any other time,
and much of the harshness developed in later
years could thus be avoided. As pleasant
speaking is part of good manners, and as there
can be no pleasant speech without properly
modulated voice, it is well TO train the voice
while the manners are forming.

A Rock DISCOVERED IN MID-OCEAN.-A most
singular discovery is reported to have been
made by Capt Picasso, CT the Italian bark
Teresa, which arrived at Queenstown, October
I'd, from New York. He claims to have found
a rock rising from fifteen TO twenty five feet
above the water, in latitude 40 deg. north and
longitude 81 deg. Is min. 1t is within a few
seconds of the same degree as New York, lies
about $40 miles from the coast, and is nearly
in the track of the ocean steamers, in what is
called the southern passage. The rock is of a
reddish-brown color, and abont three hundred
feet long by forty broad. Capt: Picasso thinks
this discovery offers solution of the M sterious
loss of the City of Boston, President, Pacific,
United Kingdom and other vessels that have
never been heard from after leaving port.
This would locate the rock IN the Gulf
Stream, at point bat very little south of New
York, and only three and half days out from
that port. 1t is very range that such rock,
in such frequented place, should never have
been found before.-Hariford Times

Our Government chose to shut its eyes to
these fraudulent and Illegal proceedings while
they were going on but it cannot profess to
be ignorant of them any longer. IL is bound
by the terms of Che recent understanding with
Spain to punish all persons who may have been
guilty of illegal acts in connection with the
Yirginius and there surely can be no diih-
Guilty in cOnvcting her owners and Outhtters
of the 1agrant violations of our neutrality
laws committed during her whole career. We
are told that Dir. Patterson ia saved by the
statute of limitations from any annoyance
on the score of his oath that he was the sole
owner of the vessel; but the subsequent
tered iii this way, and it is the OBJ
vious duty of the federal authorities
to submit them to a judicial examination
The negligence of our Government when the
character of the Yirginius was officially made
known two years ago led to the butcheries oil

millions of dollars. There must he no more

legal, let US justify and protect them openly.
If they are illegal we are surely able to break

which we took upon ourselves.
