The London Crystal Palace.

One can hardly make anybody who has
never seen it understand the charm of the
long nave with its high arched roof, its
graceful galleries, its huge marble basins
of water-lilies, edged with beds of the
brightest flowers, its great hanging bas-
kets of delicate plants, its tropical trees,
its statues, its bright banners, its delicious
music and its glimpses down the crossing
transepts of one of the loveliest landscapes
in all England; for these transepts, or
crossways, you must know. are walled
and rooted with glass like all the rest Of
the building.
And this is just what you have before
your eyes as you 60 in, but to see all the
curious and interesting things would take

CuriOsities of Animal Life,

There can be no doubt that dogs feel
shame as distinct from. and something
very like modesty, when begging too Of
ten for food. A great dog scorns the
snarling of little dog, and this may be
called magnanimity. All animals feel
wonder, and many exhibit curiosity, the
latter quality affording opportunity for
hunters in many parts of the world. to
decoy the game into their power. the
faculty of imitation. so strongly develop
ed in man, especially in a barbarous state.
is present in monkeys. A certain bull
terrier, of our acquaintance, when he wish
es to 60 out of the room, jumps at the
handle of the door, and grasps it with his
paws, although he cannot himself turn the
handle. Parrots also reproduce with Won
derful fidelity the tones of voice of differ
ent speakers, and puppies reared by cats
have been known to lick their feet and
wash their faces after the same manner as
their foster-mothers. Attention and mem
orv also are present in the lower animals
and it is impossible to DENY that the dreams
of dogs and horses oftentimes show the
presence of imagination, or that a certain
sort of reason is also present. Animals
also profit by experience, as any man re
allies who sets traps. The young are
much more easily caught than the old, and
the adults gain caution by seeing the fate
of those which are caught. Tools also
are used by some of the higher apes. The
chimpanzee uses stone to crack a nut re-
semblng a walnut, and the Abyssinian
balloons fight troops of other species, and
roll down stones in the attack before they
finally close in a hand-to-hand encounter
The idea of propriety is common also to
every dog with bone, to all birds with
their nests, and notably in the case of
rocks. Nor can "A certain kind of language
be denied to the brutes. The dog commu-
nicates his feelings by barks of different
tones, which undoubtedly raise in his fell
low-dogs ideas similar to those passing in
his own mind -Edi1a5urgh Rerie1c.

She Wouldn't Go.

Tom Wilson had been working on his

CHURCH ORGANS IN SCoTLAND.-In

Scotland i'll art culture shown more than
in the decline of the old vulgar antipathv
to instrumental music in the kirk. nIthe
recently published Journal of Lord Cock

ira, that the late DIR. Ritchie, afterwards
Professor of Divinity in Edinburgh. spent
nearly ten years in vain trying to get
good organ, that somebody had given him
for the purposes, into his church in Glas-
gov. He first, after some resistance.

dumb, for several years; then, in the pre-
tence that it was spelling. he, but with
greater resistance got it advanced into the
aisle, where it remained. scowled at, for
few wears more. At last the occasion of
making some repair in the interior of the
church was taken advantage of and when
the congregation reassembled, they saw
something fixed on the inne- wall. but
carefully veiled. 1t was soon discovered
to be the abominable thing. The blood CT

The law was only against playing the
organ, which he had never done. Az, but
the horror was of the organ, because it
may be played. Its very presence re

and Tam Daizell. So it came to the Gen
eral Assembly, where heard it discussed
many year ago. The result was, that
for the ease of tender consciences the in

after hard struggle against fanaticism

TIE COMEr.-Somebody has discov cred
the coming comet and figures that it will
be brightest in the first days of August.
The directions for finding it are very well
summed up by the Worcester Press:
Some night, when you have mt any
thing in particular to do, draw an imag-
mary line from Gamma to Alpha of the
big dipper. and from Gamma to Beta of
tine lesser bear, and prolong this line
doWuwarts. Near the intersection of these
lines will be found the new comet, lately
discovered. If you have any trouble in
tnding the Alpha, Beta and Gammas
aforementioned, your case won be an iso-
lated one and the next best thing you can
do is to wait until August, when the comet
can he found without the trouble of draw
ing imaginary lines from stars with Greek
names"

NOT DEAD, BUT RISEN.

Under the old yew tree
laid my my little one down;
covered her grave with the daisies fair,
With the lilies white and the roses rare,
In shape of cross and crown.
And day by day walked
Round her grave with a silent tread,
Till the sun in the burning west was low,
Then home by the winding path so,
To weep DER her cradle-bed.
/ would not lift my eyes
To heavens ethereal blue;
sought the place of my baby's birth
And death-I clung to the clod of earth,
Damp, damp with the rain and dew.
One night, in a pleasant dream,
heard my darling's voice.
saw the gold of her shining hair,
Her baby cheeks so soft and fair,
And it made my heart rejoice.
She stood in the pearly gate,
And spoke TO the angel band
My mother sees me nojc )" she cried,
"Though never before since her baby died :
And she held out her fair right hand.
| woke, and the dream was gone;
But never since that day,
Have pictured my babe in its cradle bed.
Or down, down deep with the silent dead,
But well on her shining way

The Home" at Burlington.

The managers of the Home for Destitute
Children in Burlington are about to pre-
sent the claims of that most worthy char
itv to its friends throughout the state, for
the purpose of procuring means for the
enlargement of the present building.
The number of children in the '' Home y
during the past year has averaged fifty,
and the building is entirely too small to
Accommodate such a family; besides, it
va~ erected more than twenty years ago,
for an entirely different purpose, and con-
tains none of the modern, labor-savine
conveniences, so necessary in such an in
-titution. The lowest estimate for the
needed enlargement, and repairs on the
old building, is $40, 10000, and the man
arers must look to those whom " God has
prospered," for the amount. In this con-
nection, we wish to correct an erroneous
impression which seems to prevail to some
extent in relation to the financial condition
of the - Home" 1t is sometimes said that
the Home is rich enough without beg
ring any more. This is mistake.
The corporation own the present build
inc and ten acres Of land, which cos
5000 90 in 1866 1t has 4 - Permanent
Fund - of a little over S40,000.00, but the
entire income Of this fund is not sufficient
to dcfray the current expenses, and the de-
ticiercy is made up every year by voIunta-
~ contributions.
\ legacy of S2500.0O from the estate OF
the late Carlos Baxter, is appropriated to
the building fund, and the Hon. T. w.
Park of Bennington has subscribed S2500
also a gentleman in Burlington $500, max
ing a total of S55O0.0O with which the
ladies have to begin. Without claiming
tp be exact the above is a substantially
correct statement of the finances of the
corporation. and we trust it will serve
10 odi,abuse the public mind of the impress
sion that the institution is not in need OF
more money. On the contrary, its needs
are imperative, and its necessities make us
urgent that the present season should no
pass without some relief in the way of en-
Iarged accommodations.

Max Adeler has got a good thing off
about cremation. He prefers better use
of the bodies to that of burning them. He
tells of one Caselbeny of Vineland, New
Jersey, who has laid his grandmother at
the foot of his grape vine, and by carefully
watering her twice day, he had secured
a crop Of fifteen bushels of grapes. Upon
being examined. Caselbeny explained, in
the Agricultural Society, that he had
known maiden aunt OF second cousin to
do equally well, and he had his stepfather
among the roots of his mammoth goose
berry bush with every prospect of a superb
success. Very particular inquiries were
made by several members concerning the
availability of mothers-in-law, and a man
named johnson said he had been married
four times and had used all his mothers-in-
law in improving the asparagus bed; he
took the first prize at eight county fairs;
Then the meeting suddenly adjourned, and
fifteen mothers-in-law in Vineland died
during the succeeding week.
