The DruitiS and their Temples

Near the town OF Carhac, in Brit
tany, France, there is an extensive
plain several miles wide. with a flat
and barren surface. II is the last
place in the world a tourist would care
about visiting, if he were simply tray
cling in search of beautiful objects.
In Winter the coolest winds blow over
it with wild force, and in Summer it
is unprotected by trees or shrubbery
from the scorching shafts Of the sun.
But it is not wholly undressing, and
propose that we shall make u short
visit to it
We will suppose, then, that you and
| are stopping at one Of the quiet tav-
ems in Carnac, and have wandered
toward the plain tor walk. Just
outside the town bit of hill rises
high enough to show us the surround.
ing country.
There are few houses or trees on
the plain; but is divided into several
avenues by long rows of unhewn up
right stones, which, as far as the eye
can see, are ranged IN almost perfect
order, like an army prepared for bat
tie. There are over a thousand of
them, and they stretch across the
country from east to west for nearly
seven miles. The largest are twenty
two feet high, and the smallest ten
feet. "A few have fallen, and others
have been carted away; but originally
they were placed apart at regular dis
tances.
When you come nearer to them you
will see many signs of age upon them.
They are scanned, messy and battered.
How old do you guess they are? No
body is quite sure, not even the wisest
of the historians, but we may safely
say that they have held their present
positions for over eighteen hundred
years. For eighteen hundred years
they have chung to the meager ground
and withstood the combined assaults
Of time and storm, while generation
after generation of the living has
passed away.
How did they come there? The
simple, credulous people of old, to
whom all fairy stories were the truest
histories, believed that giants brought
them and planted them but we know
better than that.
They were erected by ordinary men,
and you may imagine how much labor
the work cost at q time when there

1t is singular the influence a
stove-pipe has upon married man.
There is nothing in the world he re.
spects so much. A passing load of
furniture may, in its general appear
ance, be so grotesque as to call forth
the merriment of the tboughtless
young, but if there is piece of stove
pipe in it no larger than a hat, he
will not laugh. We don't care who
the man is, how he had been brought
up, what his position, wealth or in
fuence, there is that about length
of stove,pipe which takes hold upon
his very soul with force that Is help
less to resist. And the married man
who can stand within reaching dis
lance OF stove-pipe without feeling
his hair raise, and his throat grow dry
aud husky, is an anomaly which does
not exist. Stove-pipe has only one in
gredient anG that is contrariness. 1t
is the most perverse article in exist
ence. 1t has done more to create
heartache, embitter lives, break up
homes, and scrape off skin than all
other domestic articles together. The
other domestic screwdriver pales its
Intellectual fires in the presence of a
stove-pipe, and the family hammer
just paws in the dust and weeps. We
don't care how much pains are taken
to remember aud keep in order the
links, they will not come together as
they came apart. This is not a joke,
this is not exaggeration it is simply
the solemn, heaven-born truth. If we
appear unduly excited in this matter
we are sorry for 1t, but we cannot
help it. We cannot write upon the
subject at all without feeling the blood
Jingle in our very fingers ends.

Home is the Kingdom and Love is the

Flashes the freight upon the dear faces,
Bearer and dearer as onward we go;
Forces the shadow behind us, and places
Brightness around us with warmth in the
glow.
King, King, crown the King:
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the

Flashes the lovelight, increasing the glory,
Beaming from bright eyes with warmth of
the soul,
Telling of trust and content the sweet story,
Lifting the shadows that over us roll.
King, King, crown me the King
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the

Richer than miser with perishing treasure,
Served with service no conquest could

Happy with fortune that words can not

Light hearted on the hearthstone can

Similar stones are found at other
places in Brittany; but the most IA
nous collection is on plain near the
town Of Salisbury, in England, This
is called Stonehengc, and consists of
one hundred and forty stones, the
smallest of which weigh ten tons and
the largest seventy tons, The remains
of men and animals have been also
found in the vicinity, and these have
given the antiquaries 4 clue as to the
objects for which the stones were rails
ed.
Nothing positive is known about
them, but it is supposed that they
mark the temples OF the Drlids, a
religious order which possessed great
power in France and England during
the century before and tn century
after the coming Of christ. They OBJ,

Ignorant and superstitious people then
occupying those countrir}, by the
practice of mysterious arts, which
often were extremely cruel They
prolCssed to know the hidden nature
of things, and the forms and move
ments Of the sun and stars but in
reality they were not as wise as the
children in our primUry schools, and
the simplest tricks OF Il good modern
conjurcr would surprise the most won
dertul ones. They were astrologers
and hcrb-doctors as well as priests and
historians, and they attributed a sacred
character to many plants.
Human sacrifices formed one of the
most terrible features Of their religion.
The victims usually Were criminals OF
prisoners Of war; but when there
were none of these, innocent and un.
offending persons wer sacrificed.
The tayoritc resort Of the Druids
was an island opposite the mouth of
the river Loire, in France, where, once
every year, between sunrise and sunset
they pulled down and rebuilt the root
of their temples; and any priest who
allowed the smallest part Of the sacred
materials to fall carclcssly, was torn to
pieces by his fellows.

the Isle of Anglesey, in Wales and
when they saw their conquerers fol-
lowing, they made preparations Tor Il
battle. Among their preparations
not exactly for the battle, but for what
they expected to follow it-werc i'm

to sacrifice the unfortunate Romans
who should be left after the battle
They were quite sure that they wonlc
