Pennsylvania, and especially Phila-
delphis, has been laboring with tre-
mendous energy to secure an appro-
priation OF Three Million Dollars in
aid OF the proposed Centennial Expo
elton, but the bill Was virtually de-
feated in the House last Thursday.
The southern members asked the
friends OF the project to amend the bill
by the insertion OF q clanse declaring
general amnesty on the 4th OF July,
1876, for all political offenses. They
wanted to have something to jubilate
over in the South, and, as the
emancipation OF the negroes will be
much talked Of at Philadelphia, they
wanted to be able to say something
about the emancipation OF white men.
Judge KELLEY refused to make this
concession, and the votes OF the South
ern members killed the bill. 1t was
recommitted to the Centennial Com
mittee, however, and an effort will yet
be made to render it more acceptable
but there is not much probability Of it's,
passage in any shape at this time.

cnurcn Announcements.


There is . story OF . Frenchman
who, having attended divine service at
several fashionable New York churches,
was 90 struck BY their gaudy uphol-
stery, lavish gliding, luxury, and the
operate character Of the music, that he
declared they Involuntary reminded
him OF the better class Of Partisan cafes
cAaatant. The New-Yosk Worlds
structures on a certain kind of adver-
tisement in the columns OF a Sunday
contemporary wildly reminds US OF the
Frenchman's criticsm. One OF these
advertiser ents- according to the World
States that the rector oil the Church
of the Messiah, in Brooklyn, will preach
on certain topics, and that "eminest

Another advertisement, BY the Church

higher order of church music an aid

lection and rendering, 10 combine the

illness" The World, in commenting on
this class OF advertisements, very perth
nenlly asks IN what essentials the SER
vices 10 these churches may differ
from the sacred concerts" which are
concurrently given at the opera house
of the late Colonel Fisk ? To most
readers, We fear, such announcements
must appear very much like any other
proiane puff OF secular amusements,
which promise "a change OF bill every
evening" and betrays all the proven"
bal jealousy Of "star performers.

The cause of compulsory education
has gained a triumph in the New York
Senate, a bill to that effect having been
passed by that body few days ago.
The Herald, in commenting on this
news, editorislly rejoices over it, saying
that compulsory education lie becoming
more and more the law among civilized
nations. 1t has long been the law
in Prussia, where it has worked WON
ders, and it is now introduced in Eng
land. Parents, of course, have a right
TO bring up their children where and
how they please, but the State has a
right to cay that they must be educat-
ed.

The citizens of Wheeling ought to
contribute something TO the relief Of
the sufferers by the food in the lower
Mississippi. 1t is shameful that no
active and practical steps to this end
have yet been taken. For many years
this city has had an extensive and lu'
crative trade with the very people who
are now homeless and destitute, ard
they have therefore an especial claim
upon US for assistance in this time OF
need. Will not come of our large
hearted manufacturers start a SUBJ
scriptiou in behalf Of the sufferers and
send at once whatever relief We can
afford?

A NAN residing in California has
written to some old residents OF Mason
county, in Illinois, con!essiug a murder
that be committed at Ritter's Crossing
twenty. nine years ago. The murder
was committed for money, and the
BODY Of the victim secreted. The head,
which was severed from the body, was
found buried in the place described by
the murderer. The latter writes that he
cannot live much longer, aud hence the
confession. This is one the cases
where murder did not tout" until too
late for the action Of justice.

Beauty and Brains.

Some newspaper writer revives the la
mentable truism that literary women are
seldom beautiful. Their features, and par
ticularly their foreheads, are more or less
masculine. Miss Landon was an exception
to this one. She was exceedingly feminine
and pretty. Mrs. Stanton, likewise, is a
pretty woman, but Miss Anthony and Mrs.
LlvermOre are both plain. Maria and Jane
Porter We're women of high brows and ir-
regular features, as was also Miss Sedgwick.
Anna Dickinson has strong masculine
face; Kate Field has a good looking, though
by 40 means pretty one; and Mrs. Stowe
Is thought to be positively homely. Alice
and Phoebe Cary were both plain in
features. though their sweetness of
disposition added greatly to their per.
sonal appearance. Margaret Fuller had
a splendid head, but her features were ir-
regular. and she was anything but hand
some, though sometimes, in the glow of
conversation, she appeared almost radiant.
Charlotte Bronte had wonderfully beautiful
dark brown eyes and a perfectly shaped
head. She was small to diminutiveness,
and was as simple in her manner as a child.
Julia Ward Howe is fine looking woman,
wearing an aspect of grace and refinement
and great force of character in her face and
carriage. Laura Holloway resembles Char
lotte Bronte both in personal appearance
and the sad experience of her young life.
Neither Mary Booth nor Marian Harland
can lay claim to handsome faces, though
they are splendid specimens of cultured
women. while Mary Clemmer Ames is lust
as pleasing in features as her writings are
graceful and popular.

The Difference Between Reputation and
ChaHacteH.

Reputation is what person is accounted
60 be by others character consists in what
he really is.
A great many defaications have come 20
light lately in private business houses and
in public institutions. The defaulters in
every instance are spoken of as persons in
high standing. OF course, they necessarily
must have been such, or they would not
have been intrusted with such large
amounts of money. Beggars, paupers and
yagabonds have no opportunity to become
heavy defaulters. On the contrary default
ers are men Of comedy exterior lives; men
who dress decently well; who attend church;
who maintain good outside show in their
way OF living. They enjoy fair reputa-
ton.
Yet how different from all these appear
ances is their real character! When they
look at themselves they behold sight quite
unlike what they SEEM to be to the eyes of
the community.
A character which can not sterniy stand
the test of strict and searching seif-examin-
alton is not a good character If young
men begin life with the daily habit of re-
viewing their own conduct, and resOlutely
changing it whenever it fails to square with
the strictest standard of distinguishing be-
tween right and wrong, they will never
become defaulters. They will prove equal
to any trust which may be reposed in them;
because they will be guided by compass
equally we'll adapted to emooth seas or
rough, and which, under all circumstances,
points toward a sure and safe harbor.

The heavier cross. the better Christian:
This is the toushstone God applies;
How many garden would lie wasting,
Inwet by showers from weeping eyes!
The gold by fire is purified
The Christian 10 by trouble tried.
She heavier cross. the stronger faith:
The loaded palm strikes deeper root:
The vine juice sweetly issueth
When men have pressed the clustering fruit;
And courage grows where dangers come.
Like cearls beneath the salt ses foam.
The heavier cross, the hear'ier prayer:
The bruised herbs most fragrant are;
If wind and sky were ALWAYS fair,
The sailor would not watch the star;
And Davld's psalms had ne'er been sung
II grief his heart had sever wrung.
The heavier cross, she more aspiring;
From wales we climb to mountain crest;
The pilgrim Of the desert firing,
Longs for the Canaan of his rest.
The dove has here 10 rest in slgh:.
And to ARK she wings heg flight.
The heavier cross the easier dying.

From life 8 distress one then is free.
