Daily Bread.

1t is an interesting fact that the
Greek word translated "daily" in our
version of the Lords Prayer-epiOusiOn
is a word found nowhere in Greek lit
erature, sacred or profane, except in
this divine petition, as given by Mat
thew and by Luke. Its literal meaning
has been discussed by Origen, Chry-
sostom, TheOphylactus-in short, by
innumerable fathers and commentators,
ancient and modern. In various Latin
versions of the Gospels, in my library,
1 find it rendered super -sUbStantialen,
snDicieHten, qu0tididn1nl but though
jerome seems. in using the first, to sup
pose spiritual bread implied, Rome has
not followed him, but uses in her mis-
sails g,IOtididauBl.
The King James translatOrs showed
great wisdom and thorough compre-
hension of the original in their transla-
ton by tine use of the word ''daily," -
for. though no idea of the succession
from day to day is to be found in the
Greek word, yet the whole idea of the
Greek is contained in the English SEN
tence, ''Give us this day our daily
bread. Probably no intelligent person
uses the words of the prayer without
the clear idea that he asks on this day
the proper, necessary and customary
support of every day, which man needs
daily" Tne fact that the Lords
Prayer in the original Greek version,
contains an important word found no.
where else, seems to me worthy note.

Our SeciaI Lie.

Some people never make acquain-
tances, but shut themselves up from
their kind ike an oyster in his shell !;
while others-and by far the happiest-
are never at loss for cheerful COM
panionship. 1t is not hard to make ac-
quaintances if we set about it the right
way but it is useless to hang back
for every door to be opened; we must
push them ourselves. Said lady to
us the other day, 81 never make any
acquaintances when travelling. / wish
L could" Said another, 81 get ac-
quainted with everybody. l talk to
the woman who sweeps the ferry boats,
and to any decent person who happens
to sit by me in the cars. / find every
human heart is human, and then can
learn something l didn't know before
from every new acquaintance, or COM
municate information that may be val
liable to them. We are all apt to stand
and wait for advances from each other;
TO indulge captIous disposition, and
criticise where we should commend.
The cultivation of genial, charitable,
benevolent spirit will not iniure any of
us, and will benefit the community in
which we live, and add constantly to
the number of our friends.

The Woman Who Lived as Long
as She Wanted 10.

The legend says there once dwelt on
the island of Falster lady of rank who
was extremely rich, but had neither son
or daughter to inherit her wealth. She
therefore resolved to dedicate it to
pious use, and caused church to be
built which was both spacious and
magnificent. When it was completed,
she had the altar candles lighted, and
going through the choir to the altar she
cast herself on her knees and prayed to
God that in reward for her pious gift
he would add as many years to her life
as her church should stand. From time
to time her relatives and servants died,
but she who had made so foolish
prayer lived on. At length she had no
longer relative or friend. She saw
children grow up, become aged, and
die, and their children again grow old,
while she herself was wasting through
extreme age, so that she gradually lost
the use of all her senses. Sometimes
however, she recovered her voice,
though for an hour only, at midnight
on Christmas. On one OF these nights
she desired to be laid in an oaken coffin,
and placed in the church, that she
might there die, but that the priest
should attend her, every Christmas
night to receive her commands. From
that time her coffin was stood in the
church, but she has not been permitted
to die. Every Christmas night, the
priest goes to her, lifts the lid of the
coffin, and as he raises it, she rises
slowly up. When sitting she asks, sis
my church yet standing 2" And when

Orderly Habits.

Men are admitted to be more untidy
than women. "One boy creates more
trouble in house than three girls, !"
says many a suffering mother. But,
after all, she's to blame for it; there's
no real reason why a boy should not
form tidy habits. One of the benefits
that the mother of sons can confer on
her own sex and all the world beside,
is to form IN them the habit of putting
things in place. This can be done
only by following them around and re-
guiring them, when they are through
with library book, to put it on the
shelf where it belongs when they take
off their overcoats to hang them on the
rack when skates are unstrapped or
boots taken off that they be put some
where else beside on the hearth rug or
under foot when slippers are removed
that they at once rest in their appropri-
ate case. The law of habit thus formed
will gradually extend its domain till it
includes everything the boy handles or
calls his own, and exercises an influence
on all he is and does. In q house in
hsbited by such men and boys, put
ting things to rights" will occupy a
very brief daily interval.

Opium.

The production of opium in Asia
Minor, which IN former years averaged
annually from 1000 to 5000 baskets or
cases, each containing $50 pounds, has
of late years much increased, and the
crop now averages from 1000 to 5000
baskets. Out of this quantity, which
is shipped at Smyrna, the United States
take over 1000 cases. England at one
time consumed a large proportion.
The Dutch East India Company also
for many years has purchased. large
quantities annually to send to the
Islands of Java, Batavia and Sumatra,
and of late years the consumption gen.
orally has largely increased, especially
for North and South America and the
West Indies. Turkey opium is always
preferred in England before that of
India, as it contains much higher per-
centage of morphia than either Indian
or Persian it is on this account that
the greater portion of the opium used
for medical purposes both in Europe
and America, is the production of Asia
Minor. The price of this opium in the
market has advanced much of late ;
fifteen years ago the average price was
about g. 10 per pound, and it now re-
alizes about s. per pound, though the
fair character even of this product has
been tarnished by a system of adulter-
alton which has prevailed during the
last two yesrs.

MISCELLANY.


Any day when you have time you can
see how she does it by dropping into
the post Office. She arrives there with the
letter In her hand. 1t is a sheet of note
paper enclosed In a white envelope. She
halts in front of the stamp window,
opens her mouth to ask for a stamp,
but suddenly darts away and looks at
the letter to see If she made any errors
in names or dates. 1t takes her five
minutes TO make sure of this, and then
she balances the letter OF her finger,
and the awful query arises in her mind:
Perhaps it is overweight J" She steps
to the window and asks the clerk if he
has three cent stamp, fearing that he
hasn't, and she looks over every COM
partment of her porte-monnaie before
she finds the change to pay for it.
The fun begins as she gets the stamp.
She sidles around to one side, removes
her gloves, closely inspects the stamp,
and hesitates whether to ''lick" it on or
wet her finger. She finally concludes
that it wouldn't be nice to show her
tongue, and she vets her finger and
passes it over the envelope. She is so
long picking up the stamp that the
slides off the envelope. She tries it
twice more with the same success, and
then, getting desperate, she gives the
stamp a Click" and it sticks. Then
comes the sealing of the letter. She
vets her finger again, but the envelope
flies open, and after five minutes delay
she has to pass her tongue along the
streak of dried mucilage. She holds
the letter a long time to make sure that
the envelope is all right, and finally
appears at the window and asks
Three cents is enough, is it p
"Yes, ma'am."
"And this Will go out to-day" ?" Ger
tainly."
"Will it go to Chicago without the
name of the county on it?" Just the
same? ?"
"What time will it reach there p
Tomorrow morning."
She sighs, turns the letter over and
over, and finally asks, ''Shall drop 1t
into one Of those places there?" "Ies.
ma am"
She walks up in front of the six
orifices through which letters fall upon
the table. closely scans each one OF
them, finally makes a choice, and drops
no, she doesn't. She stops to see
where it will fall, pressing her face
against the window until she fattens
her nose on. of shape, and she doesn't
drop it into the place she meant to.
She, however, releases it at last, looks
down to make sure that it did not fall
on the floor, and turns away with a
sigh of regret that she didn't take one
more look at the superscription.

CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION OF
1876.
TIE Agricultural Building.

One of the most impressive sections
of the interests of the great West, and
of the class so powerfully represented
in the present day by the Grange Or
ganiZatiOn, will certainly be the pal
ace Of the Patrons of Husbandry," as
it might appropriately be designated,
but which in the nomenclature of the
Centennial Commissioners is simply
THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING.
This fine structure. having in its imme-
date vicinity stock yard, with divi-
siOns for horses. cattle, sheep and swine,
and poultry houses, will be located
north of the Conservatory and on the
east side of Belmont Avenue. The
ground plan of this department, cover
ing an area of about ten acres, is par
allelogram of $40 by so feet; con-
structed chiefly of. wood and glass. it
will consist of a long nave crossed by
three transepts, both nave and tran
septs being constituted of truss arches
of Gothic style. This is intended for
the reception of every kind of agricul-
tural and dairy implements and uten-
sils, except of course such as are pro-
perly included in the machinery depart
ment. Such an exhibition aided, as it
will be. by the fraternal feeling which
now exists among the farming profess
sion, cannot fail to inspire lively in
terest in the present, and be productive
of substantial benefit in the future.
There will also be arranged in this sec
ton specimens of grain, and products
generally, which. considering the wide
area and capabilities of the soil, should
insure a national display of vast impor-
tance. and place the Agricultural inter-
ests of this country in position to
compare favorably with other develop
ments of the national progress during
the past century. The Farming frater-
nifty should certainly take lively, ear
nest, and liberal interest in making
this department in particular, and the
Centennial Exposition in general, an
undOubted and proud success.
An eminently effective method of
identifying the Agricultural interests
with the elimination of the Celebra-
tiOn would be a mass convention of
''Grange delegates" from every State
in the Union, meeting in Philadelphia
on the Fourth of July, 1876, and pro-
ceeding in body to this section of the
Exposition. Such demonstration,
and fraternal meeting, would be in ac-
cord with the spirit of the order, and
the assemblage of Patrons of Hus.
bandry, representing every variety OF
soil culturist from Maine to Texas,
would be in itself an imposing and in
teresting national spectacle.

Real and Apparent Death.

People who fear that they may pos
sibly be buried alive will be glad to
know that DIR. Douchut, one OF the
leading physicians of Paris, has op-
tanned a prize from the French Academy
of Medicine for his discovery of a
method by which to distinguish real
from apparent death. The discovery
is thus explained in one of the medical
bulletins When the temperature falls
to twenty degrees above zero Cent?
grade, or sixty-eight degrees Fahren-
Reit. death is certain. Now DR.. pou-
chut has devised thermometer-like
instrument, which he calls a NEGRO,
meter, SO graduated that if when placed
under the armpit of person, supposed
TO be dead it marks zero, then life mas
indeed parted beyond any possibility
of mistake. OF the merits of this in
genious device, so far as any expert
ments or performances are concerned,
no account is given.

Imporfnnf Invention for Making
Bags.

Two hundred millions sacks and bags
are annually used throughout the
globe. OF this vast number, fully a
hundred million are manufactured In
England. Nearly all are made by
hand, At one of the late industrial
exhibitions at London, a large reward
was offered for the invention of a ma
chine that would sew sacks with an
over-stitch. Many attempts had been
made in Europe to devise one, but
without success. Such desideratum
has at length been produced by San
Franciscan-Mr. p. 81. Garland-after
having studied and experimental on 1t
for over three years. 1t works with a
spiral needle, and is indeed an lngenl-
Gus contrivance. 1t is said that the
establishing factory in that city for
the mandatory of these machles Is
talked of. 1t is estimated that one
hundred men operating one hundred OF
these machines, could annually pro-
duce 80, 600, goo sacks - lacking only
{, 600 600 of supplying the entire PacIflc inc
coast demand, which equals 35,ooo,ooo

POETRY.
THE ANGEL OF THE TWILIGHT
BT WILL WALLACE HARSEr.

When the long evenings slanting grow
In crystal rafters over the beach.
The roofs Of heaven are almost in reach
As / think Of my SORROW of long ago.
Once more an old grief comes and wrestles.
As Jacob wrestled at Jabbok's ford
4 dumb resistance. with never a word,
Bat the shadow burdening down the trestles;
And long foreboding that seemed to grieve,
Like the soldier who over his pallet hears
The whisper of patient, suffering years,
Before he is used to the empty sleeve;
AZ kissed and cried over q cold, still face,
In her bridal robes, on her bridal bed,
And ever repeated, She is not dead;
She will come out OF her nesting place
With flash OF laughter and wreathing arms.
The maiden's blush on the cheeks of the
wife;
She Will come back to me. life in life
In the dover OF womanhood's bridal charms.
Or a coming step whispered, Is hers:
She sings the songs that she used to sing;
She comes. like the blossom exhaling spring,
lhr0ugn NkoleI Oe1 aul the clover lurZes
And the still sweet dream shall vigil keep
The whole night long that she restles near.
Her warm breath tanning my cheek aud ear
A. lie Ia her loose light arms of sleep.
II seek her by day with the voice or hand,
II ends IN a doleful even-song.
Or tale of an ancient, forgotten wrong.
To children who do not understand.
But after the twilight sheds its bloom
Far over the meadows about our home
The unseen angels can go and come,
And roll the stone from the mouth of the
tomb.
and she comes in the dews of paradise;
4 holy blessing around me steals;
feel her presence a. one that feels
The gentle light upon closed eyes.
10 when the evenidgs slanting grow
In crystal rafters over the beach,
The roofs Of heaven are almost IN reach
Az think of my sorrow Of long ago
