PASSION WEEK.-ThuE is named thu
week Immediately preceding Easter. One Of
the early Fathers, St. Chrysostom, writes ::
at was called the Great Week. not because
it consisted of longer days more in num-
Der, than any other weeks but because at
this time great things were wrought for us
by our Lord. For in this week the ancient
tyranny of the Devil was dissolved, death
was overcome, the strong man was bound
his goods spoiled, sin was abolished the curse
MAS destroyed, paradise was opened, Hea-
ven became accessible, men and angels were
joined together, the middle wall or partition
was torn down, the barriers were taken out
Of the way, the God of Peace made peace
between things in Heaven and thirgs in
earth" The ObservanCes of this week, from
their peculiar significance, may well he call
ed the M ysteries." On Monday the curse
OF the barren tree of Jewish nation Tues
day the predicted speedy ruin of the Tenn
pie Wednesday the sale of Him that was
valued Thursday the solemn institution of
the Lords Supper; Good Friday the Redeem
er's dearh and passion, and Saturday, or
Easter Eve, Christ's descent into HadeS.
a II these events as recorded in the Bible are
read in the services of the Catholic and
Episcopal Churches and from n deeply sig
nificant and interesting course of scripture
teaching, eminently preparative of heart end
mind for the great Easter Festival

TESTING SEEDs.-Now that spring is hero
and the planting season is approaching, it is
often important to test the vitality of seeds
before sowing them. We have heard the
following simple and easy method described:
Fill a box, pan tiower-pot partly with
rich mellow earth make the upper surface
perfectly smooth, and on TINS surface draw
STRAIGHT cross lines, and drop seed at each
intersection so that they may de easily count
ed. Then take a wide hoop or frame, and
make n bottom to it with cloth stretched
across so as to resem BILE sieve. Place this
upon the seed and fill it with enough fine
mold TO form a sufficient covering for the
seed, which should generally be four or five
times the diameter of the seed Tor the depth.
Keen soil sufficiently moist and in a warm
place. The sieve can be lifted easily and
the seeds examined without disturbing
them. In this way corn, wheat, clover seed,
turuip seed and many other kinds can be
aasiIv tested. which may be of considerable
importance where the age or freshness OF
the seed is not certainly known

ONE OF RUM,s VICTORIES.

The Greenfield, Mass. Courier fur
nishes the following particulars of the
tragic death to which we alluded few
days ago:
'tWilliam Guinan, we'll known here as
an auctioneer for many years, died in
Springfield Saturday night. the 9TH ult.
He purchased quantity of whiskey at
saloon in that city. drank over pint
in a few minutes, and died almost
Immediately. Guinan was a native of
Canada, enlisted in the second Vermont
regiment as Sargent Major, May 20, '61
and was discharged on account of wounds
Sept. 80, of the same year. He moved
to Springfield a year or SO ago, where he
left wife and children His remains
worv brought here Monday for inter-
ment. He pawned a looking glass to
buy the whiskey with, which was sold
him by Gum & Co. His wife followed
him to the liquor saloon and requested
the keepers not to sell liquor to him.
They took her by the arm, and, telling
her it was no place for her, walked her
out of the saloon, and sold the liquor to
her husband which killed him.
The above is taken from the Watch-
man. We knew this man Guinan. He
lived Iii Irasburgh in the years 1850
and 81. At that time he was lively,
temperate man. He was soldier in
the Mexican war, under Col Newman,
we think, and won the reputation of be-
ing brave soldier was wounded with
lance and drew pension until the
commencement of the war of the rebel
lion, when he threw it up and went into
the service of his country again. But
he has sacrificed the reputation gained
in two bloody wars and has died ''as
the fool dieth, as many and many
good fellow has done before him. The
sad story of his death shows what rum
has done for him. and what rum has
done for HIM it will do for all others who
pursue the same course. 1t has but one
result. to brutalize and demobize.-
What noble soul was that possessed by
the man who showd the poor inebriatc's
wife to the door. and said it was no place
for her, sending her into the pitiless

A WAsHoE GREETING The Virginia,
Nevada, Enterprise furnishes this graph
ic charcoal sketch of far western eti-
quette:
Yesterday as we were standing near
the corner of G and Union streets chat
ting with our old-time friend Bob How
land, a queer, shaggy-haired, wild-eyed
chap, evidently just in from some of the
eastward-lying desert regions of the
state, hove in sight. Now, Bob him.
self is regular rowing, prospecting
critter-a man who has delved and
posted his notices in about half the
camps on the Pacific coast Bob, indeed,
with much justice may claim to have
made Meadow Lake and Aurora and
Como what they are. Our wild-eyed
stranger had evidently seen Bob some
where. He tackled back and forth in
front of us few times, scratching his
head, hitching his baggy breeches up
under his waistbelt, and jamming his
scrap of dingy brown wool hat now on
this side and now on that side of his
head. AT last he suddenly faced square
ly about and coming up to Bob, said !:
"Wharabouts in hell have l seed you
stranger?" Il don't know coolly and
in his kindliest tones. answered Bob /;
"what part of hell have you been IN,
my friend ?" The wild-eyed man smiled
a solemn smile, and said something
about his camp and pot of beans on
the headwaters of Bitter Greek. In
stantly he and Bob rushed into each
others arms, and for some moments
each was diligently engaged in shedding
tears of the largest size upon the
shoulder of the other.

Cur THIS OUT.-Every person should
know how to treat a flesh wound, be-
cause one is liable to be placed in cir
cumstances away from surgical and vet
erinary aid, where he may save his own
life, the life of friend or beast, sim
ply by the exercise of a little common
sense. In the first place, close the lips
of the wound with the hands and hold
them firmly together to check the flow
of blood until several stitches can be
taken and bandage applied. Then
bathe wound for long time in cold
water. SHOULD it be painful" a cor
respondent says, "take painful of burn
ing Goals and sprinkle upon them COM
mon brown sugar and hold the wounded
part in the smoke. In minute or two
the pain will be allayed, and the recov-
cry proceedes rapidly. In my case a
rusty nail had made bad wound in my
foot. The pain and nervous irritation
were severe. This was all removed by
holding it in the smoke fifteen minutes,
and | was able to resume my reading in
comfort. We have often recommended
it to others with like result. Last week
one of my men had finger torn out by
a pair OF ice tongs. 1t became very
painful, as was to be expected. Held
in sugar smoke twenty minutes. the pain
ceased and promised speedy recovery.

ALL's WELL THAT ENDS WELL.-
Some years ago, and yet not so many,
for it has been since the war, some disa-
greement arose between couple of mar
ried folks in one of the old States, and
after much pain and suffering and public
exposure of family affairs in the courts,
decree of divorce was obtained, and
they who had stood at the altar of Hy-
men to be joined in union, were parted
at the altar of justice, to which they had
appealed. Their own way each of them
turned, and long years have come and
gone since then. The husband and faith
er travelled with his burden to the golden
shores of California, and there, no doubt
tried hard to forgive and forget. The
wife and mother, with their babe, strug-
gled with the skeleton of her deadened
life, and in time came to Texas. By
some fatality her husband came to Tex
as, also.
Last Friday they were both aboard
the train bound from Galveston to this
city. The little daughter, while looking
curiously over the car at the strange
faces. suddenly caught that of her long
gone father Before her mother could
stay her, she rushed to him crying PA
pa, papa" The greeting of father and
child was touching and beautiful All the
old emotions, all the smothered love for
the wife and child, came back in all in
stant. '.Mama is here" said the little
girl, ''come and 60 to her." And she
led her father to the astonished mother,
and poetic predestination was accom-
plished. They met and talked as of
yore, and soon all was we'll with them
again. Chastened. as by fire, they
seemed to know each other better. The
sequel is soon told. After reaching
Houston, the services of the Rev. Mr.
Hackett were called for license OBJ
tanned, and the marriage vows resumed
with a far better under standing of their
nature and sanctity. And thus it is that
'.all's well that ends well. "--Houston,

AN INCIDENT OF OVERLAND TRAVEL.
the passengers by the west
ward bound emigrant train which ar
rived yesterday was Mrs. W. S. Credi-
ford. an aged lady from Alfred. Maine.
Poor. feeble and alone. she had left her
home to cross the continent on an emi-
grant train to see her children residing
in this state. Two grown daughters
awaited her at San Jose, and her son
had gone up the road to meet her. He
found her worn out with the fatigues of
the protracted journey in comfortless
emigrant car and very weak. About 6
o'clock in the evening she roelined her
head on his shoulder and fell asleep
there. Just after the train left San lie.

that place, noticing something peculiar
in the attitude and appearance of the
old lady. approached her son and in
quired, What is the matter with that
lady ?" Hush. replied the young man.

said the gentleman, ''she will never
wake again in this world" He was
right. Quietly leaning on the breast of
her son the poor lady had yielded to
fatigue and peacefully fallen into
slumber from which she passed into that
deeper sleep that knows neither waking
nor wearincss. The emigrants cen posed
her limbs to rest, and brought her body
to this city for the bereaved children

JUDGING BY APPEARANCES.

A Harcard Graduates Eyening an the
Old City 1avarn IN Boston.
When Maine was a district of Massa-
chusetts, Ezekiel Whitman was chosen
to represent the district in the Massachu-
sets Legislature. He was an eccentric
man, and one of the best lawyers of his
time. He owned farm and did much
work on his land; and when the time
came for him to set out for Boston, his
best suit of clothes was suit of home
spun. His wife objected to his going in
that garb, but he did not care. 81 will
get nice fashionable suit made as soon
as | reach Boston, he said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman
found rest at Doolittle's City Tavern.
Let it be understood that he was grad
uate of Harvard, and at this tavern he
was at home AS he entered the parlor
of the house he found several ladies and
gentlemen assembled, and he heard a
remark from one of them, "Ah, here
comes countryman Of the real home
spun genus. Here's fun" Whitman
stared at the company, and then sat
down.
Say, my friend, you are from the
country remarked one of the gentle
men.
"Ya-as, answered Ezekiel, with a
ludicrous twist of the face.
The ladies Uttered
''And what do you think of our city ?"
''It's pooty thick settled place, any
how. It's got a sweepin' sight of hous'n
in it"
"And good many people, too"
"Ya-as, should guess so.
"Many people where you come from ?"
"Wal, some"
Plenty of ladies, | suppose?"
''Ya-as. fair sprinklin'."
And l don't doubt that you are quite
beau, among them"
''Ya as, l beaus 'em home-tew meet
in and singin' schewl."
perhaps the gentleman from the
country will take glass of wine %
"Thank-ee Don't keer if | do
The wine was brought.
You must drink toast
"Oh, git eoutl [ eat toast-never
heard O sich a thing as drinkin' it. But
| kin give We a sentiment"
The ladies clapped their hands but
what was their surprise when the stran-
ger, rising, spoke calmly and clearly as
follows
Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to
wish you health and happiness, with
every blessing earth can afford and
may you grow better and wiser with ad-
vancing years, bearing ever in mind that
outward appearances are often deceitful.
You mistook me, from my dress, for a
country BOBBY. while I, from the same
superficial cause, thought you were la
dies and gentlemen. The mistake has
been mutual"
He had just spoken when Caleb
Strong, the Governor of the State. en-
tered and inquired for Mr.. Whitman.
'.Ah, here [ am, Governor. Glad to
see you"
Then turning to the dumbfounded
company:
81 wish you very good evening"

LABOR.

Toll swings the axe, and forests bow;
The seeds break ont in radiant bloom;
Rich harvests smile beneath the plow,
And cities cluster round the loom.
Where towering domes and tapering spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill
Stout labor lights its beacon fires;
And plumes with smoke the forge and MILL
The monarch oak, the Woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars
Toll launches on the restless tide
And there unrOlls the flag Of stars;
The engine with its lungs of fame,
And ribs of brass and joints of STEEL
From Labor's plastic fingers came,
With sobbing valve and whirlins wheel.
'Tis labor works the magic press.
And turns the crank in hives of toll
And beckOns angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sun-brOwned Toll. with shinldg spade
Links lake to lake with silver ties
Strung thick with palaces of trade
And temples towering TO the skies.

circumstances it aoas the place for her,

EASTERN METHOD OF MEASURING TINE.
= The common people of the East meas
ure time by the length of their shadow.
Hence. if you ask a man what o'clock it
is, he Immediately goes into the sunshine,
stands erect, then, looking where his
shadow terminates. he measures his
length with his feet, and tells you nearly
the time.
Thus, workmen earnestly desire the
shadow which indicates the time for
leaving their work. A person wishing
to leave his toll says, '.Aow long my
shadow is in coming y ''Why did you
not come sooner % Because | waited
for my shadow" In Job vii. we find
it written, '.As servant earnestly
desireth the shadow, and as hireling
looketh for the reward of his work"
