Silver Innings.
There's never cup 30 bitter,
But IL will have its sweet;
There's never path so rugged,
But IL has the print Of feet;
lf"One bright hope Is left Us,
Wen o'ercome the trials we meet.
There's never day so cloudy,
But ray OF brightness appears;
There's never life 50 wretched,
But it viii have a respite from tear;
Though the Storm winds howl around rs,
It will be brighter VIXEN the tempest
clears.
There's never a sun from pillows rising,
But it may set serene at night;
Though dark and lowering be the morn
ing,
The evening may be bright;
The hour thar is the darkeSt,
Is Just before the light.
There's never heart so hardened,
But it can be made TO feel;
There's never a will so determined,
But it may be candid zeal;
There's many an unpropitiOus beginning,
That is stamped with success seal.
The dreams we've had were so happy,
The waking has made Us sad;
when we pass through this night OF COR
row,
The waking wIll make Us gladi
Some day we'll look back with wonder,
At the uonbles We have had.

Ennbalming.

Artificial means to resist decay have
been used from time immemorial. The
Egyptian method of embalming was an
expensive and elaborate process, and,
as we all know, was exceedingly sue
cessful. Modern methods have also
been carried TO an extreme state of per
fechon, chiefly by the Italians. Indeed.
the body of one of their patriots MAJ
zini, / think it was-was so successfully
embalmed. changing his body into
material resembling stone, that his
economical admirers proposed to set
it up at Milan as a statue of himself.
Tables formed of human muscles,
highly polished, were exhibited at the
Vienna exposition. A very perfect and
ingenious machine for embaming
bodies, the invention Of Kentuelian,
was shown at our exposition last year.
In it the body is exposed to reverber
ating air. blast, by which it is dried,
after which antiseptic vap0rs are forced
into 1t. A less elaborate and highly
efficient method, being the one now
chiefly in use, is the injection into { &
arteries OF certain antiseptie solutions,
such as arsenic, chloride of zinc, etc
1t is worthy of note that, in all efforts
at embalming, though decay is arrested,
the features are but poorly preserved.
Nothing can restore the luster of the
eye, or relieve the cold, expressionless
face of death.

Funeral Customs in China

Some Chinese funeral customs are
curious. Immediately after the de-
cease of a parent the children and other
near relatives communicate the news to
the friends living farther off by what is
called an announcement of death, !"
which merely states that the father or
mother, rs the case may be, has died,
and that they, the survivors, are en-
tirely TO blame. With this is sent a
"sad report" or in other words, a de-
tailed account of deceased's last illness,
how it originated, what medicine was
prescribed and taken, and sundry other
interesting particulars. These friends
reply by sending present of money to
help defray funeral expenses, a present
of food or joss-stick, or even a detach-
ment of priests to read the prescribed
liturgies over the dead. Sometimes
large scroll is written and forwarded,
inscribed with a few appropriate words,
as, A hero is gone. When all these
have been received the members of the
bereaved family issue a printed form of
thanks, one copy being left at the
house Of each contributor, and worded
thus :-' This is to express the thanks
of -, the orphan son, who Weeps
tears of blood and bows his head of
ShC AA-OAAAAbE5 WIZ HCCDb
and bows his head of -, the mourn
ing nephew, who wipes away his tears
and bows his head" It is well known
that all old and even middle-aged peo-
pie In China like having their collins
prepared ready for use. a dutiful son
viii see that his parents are thus pro-
vided, sometimes many years before
their death, and the old people will iu-
vite relatives or friends to examine both
materials and workmanship, as if it
were some beautiful picture or statue
of which they had Just cause to be
proud. Upon the coffin Is carved an
inscription with the names and titles of
the occupant if a woman, the name of
her husband. at the foot of the coffin
are buried two stone tablets face to
face one bears the name and titles of
the deceased and the other a short ac-
count of his life, what year he was
born in what were his achievements as
scholar, and how many children were
born to him. Periods of mourning
are regulated by the degrees of reIa-
tiOnship to the dead. A son wears his
clothes white for three years-actually
for twenty-eight months; and a wife
mourns her husband for the same

The Situation TODAY.

One of the causes of the dishonor
now cast on manual, especially agricul-
tural, labor, the New York Herald tells
us, is traceable to the education of our
young. The academician is trained for
the college or the university, and the
collegian is trained with aspirations for
the learned professions, the bar, the
pulpit, politics, medicine or science.
They feel that it would be a waste of
talent and a dissertation of genius to
step from the university hall to the
pillow, the loom or the anvil. Hence the
crowded professions, in which hundreds
are reduced to the starvation point and
IRON which hundreds are annually
forced to seek for bread by recourse to
new and adventurous occupations. As
it has been so forcibly said, the same
recoiling from hand labor leads thou
sands to rush into unIemunerative and
precarious clerkships and paltry COM
mercial enterprises for which there is
no demand, while the soil of the earth
is left half titled and its mines I'M
opened. -
In conjunction with these false al
lurements from the show but sure paths
Of agricultural and mining industry the
civilization of the century has added

cinations of the large cities, their ex-
elements and their luxuries, have at
tracted thither thousands who are use
less and dangerous because idle ele-
ments Of society. One of our city
contemporaries has strikingly remarked
that there we're many men who woulp
not leave New York for scarcely any
pecuniary inducement, and multitudes
who preferred scanty wages here to a
snfficiency elsewhere. 1t is safe to say
that if oue-half of the young and able,
bodied men now engaged in non-pro-
ductive commercial ventures and who
overcrowd the mercantile and Prefes-
sional vocations should turn their toll
and talent to tillage and mining, the
whole aspect of affairs in the county
would be speedily changed for the bet
ter. In time of war the hardy and
the young go TO the front, and so in a
| national situation like the present the
same classes must do the actual battle
with the rOngh forces of nature, leav-
ing to the starving women and poor in
dustrioUs girls the minor and lighter
crafts, which are now too much monopo-
liked by robust boys and stalwart men.

The Cardinals Hat.

Anne Brewster writes from Rome tC
the Philadelphia Bulletin ''The car
dinal's hat, that is the c0ppeLLOne, is
never worn on the head it only appears
on great occasions, such as fiesta for q
canOnizatien, the opening of the Poria

the festival of Corpus Domini, when it
is carried by the cardinals chief officer.
After the death of cardinal it is often
suspended over his tomb. In the thir-
teenth century it was worn, and, by the
way, it was first bestowed on cardinals

the countess for failing to greet a car

had met in public while she treated

with great respect. Her reply was that
as there was no distinction of dress she
concluded that the abbot was the greater
parsonage of the two. The pope then
concluded to give the cardinals an es-
pecisl dress. When his Holiness limo

ne made little speech in which he in
formed the cardinals that the red color
implied that they should be ready to
shed their blood for the church. In
1877 the cardinals were first allowed to
wear scarlet (pOTpOrG). Legstes alone
had worn the scarlet up TO that date. I"
