NO REST.

Science teaches us that the crust of our
earth is perpetually moving, and that the
sea level is constantly changing. Our globe
has its daily rotation on its axis and its year
ly revolution about the sun. The sun, with
all its satellites, sweeps on towards a NOV
ing point in the constellation Hercules. Ev-
cry so-called fixed star is in motion. Fifty
thousand years ago the constellation of the
Great Bear or Dipper was a starry cross a
hundred thousand years hence the imaginary
Dipper will be upside down, and the stars
which form the bowl and handle will have
changed places. The misty nebula are
moving, and besides are whirling around in
great spirals, some one way, some another.
Every molecule of matter in the whole uni
verse is swinging to and fro ; every particle
OF ether which fills space is in jelly-like vi
bration. Light is one kind of motion, heat
another, electricity another, magnetism an
other, sound another. Every human sense
is the result Of motion every perception,
every thought is but motion of the molecules
of the brain translated by that Incompetent
sible thing we call "mind." The process
of growth, of existence, of decay, whether
in words or in the minutest organisms are
but motion,

den OF Eden and tempted Adam and Eve to
their destruction. And from that day to
this Lllith, a cold, passionless beauty, with
golden, hair, has roamed up and down the
earth, sharing the son of Adam and destroy
ing them. You may always know her dead
victims, for whenever a man has been de-
scroyed by the hands of Lilith you will al
ways find a single golden hair wrapped tight
around his llfeless heart. TO this day, many
and many a son of Adam is still lured to
death and ruin from having the golden hair
of a woman wrapped too tight around his
heart. This is the moral. Has not Lilith
been revenged?

THE HOM { CIRCLE.
BETTER THAN G0Ln.

Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere
Doubly blest with content and health,
Untired by the lust of cares of wealth.
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble a poor mans cot
For man and morals, on natures plan,
Are the genuine test Of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweetrepose
OF the sons of toll, when their labors close.
Better than gold is a poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumbers deem.
Bring sleepy d~raughts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows his aching head;
His simpler opiate labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can find
A treasurer surprising Australian ore.
And live with the great and good of wore.
A heart that can feel for q neigbor's woe,
And share his joys with a genial glow;
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men rs brothers-is better than gold.
Better than gold is q peaceful home,
Where all the fireside charities come
The shrine O flove and the heaven of life,
IalloWcd by mother, or sister, or wife.
However humble the soul may be.
Or tired by sorrow with heavens decree,
TIL blessings that never were bought or sold,
And centre there, are better than gold.

KEEP CHEERFUL.

It is not very difficult for a person to be
sunny-tempered when everything is going
prosperously with him. When a man makes
two or three hundred dollars a day, and all
the signs are favorable for his making the
same amount to morrow, how ~good-natured
he can be. When the hour comes to close
the store, he takes hat from the peg. but
tons up his overcoat, draws IN his gloves
and starts for his home with the feelings of
a king. He feels kindly towards everybody.
He buys a paper of the newsboy, snaps him
a ten cent scrip, aud hurries along without
waiting for the returlechange, chuckling to
himself as fine had %perpetrated a tirst-class
joke. When he ome to his house he smiles
at the servant, kisses his wife,-or ought to

good-natured under such circumstances.
What saints we all are when we have all we
want!
But times change. The business sky looks
dark and becomes black with ominous
clouds. Under our feet run rumblings and
the premonitory unsteadiness which always
precede a financial earthquake. The COM

good-nature in you is a virtue yea, a grace,

are a gentleman, to prove it. If you love

sweeter, than this world and its possessions,

G0LDEN S EAvES.
The years go on; we with their tide
Are to the Future drifting;
And patiently we must abide


And patiently we must abide
The curtain Is lifting.
When the will is ready the foot is light.
There is nothing on earth divine besides
humanity.
Humanity, like darkness, reveals the
heavenly lights.
Prosperity is blessing to the good but
q curse to the evil.
He who laughs at cruelty sets his heel
on the neck of religion.
Always. tell the truth, and you will find
it easier than lying.
Better be upright with povert than be
wicked with plenty.
Experience is a torch lighted in the ash
es of our delusions.
He who gives a trife meanly is far
meaner than the trile.
The Christians armor will rust, ex-
cept it be furnished with the Oil ofprayer.
Our dead are never dead to us until we
have forgotten them.
The quality we call moral courage il
necessary to finished success.
Man may judge us by the success of our
efforts; God looks at the efforts themselves.
Either trouble or happiness borrowed
from the future is apt to prove fallacious.
Mankind like and respect men Of do
cision-border men, neutral men, are de-
tested.
The hone that sets an edge on the hus-
bandman's scythe helps him to NOW the
grass.
Our court dress in heaven and our gar
ment of sanctitication for daily wear, are
the understanding gifts Of Christ's love.
The study of literature nourishes youth,
old age, adorns prosperity, solac-
es adversely, is delightful at home and I'M
obtrusive abroad.
If you will not do that which God hath
enabled you to do, how do you expect that he
should do that for you, which, of yourself,
you cannot do?
The foliage of newly-clothed tree, to
the eye Oft discerning man, in every leaf
displays a volume of the wOndrous works
of our Creator.
One hour with Christ is worth an eter-
nifty Of earth's joys, and communion with
him is the best, the surest and the most
ecstatic foretaste of the bliss of heaven.
Many do with opportunities as children
do at the sea shore-flll their little hands
with sand, and then let the grains run out
through their fingers till they are gone.

"SUPERFLUOUs WOMEN"

In a recent lecture Mrs. Livermore made
the following pointed and sensible remarks:
All through the land, in homes and out
side OF them, | find these women, unwedded
in the vulgar p%arlance of everyday speech
called ssold maids,o with a shrug of the
shoulder, and a slight dash of scorn, in the
finer language Of s%ociologists and essayists
denominated " superiluous Women.' They
have been brave enough to elect to walk
through life alone, when some man, has
asked them in marriage whom they could
not love; with white lips they have said
mo-" while their hearts have said eyes"
because duty demanded of them the sacri-
flee of their own happiness. Their lives
have been stepping stones for the advance
ment of younger sisters they have earned
the money to carry brothers through col
lege into profession like the Caryatides of
architecture, they stand in their places and
uphold the roo over a dependent house
hold they invert the order of nature and
become mothers to the aged, childish par
ents, fathers and mothers, whose falling feet
they guide gently down the hill of life, and
whose withered hands they by and by fold
beneath the daisies; they carry words Of
cheer and a world Of comfort to households
invaded by trouble, sickness or death. The
dusty years stretch far behind them beauty
and comeliness drop away from them, and
they grow faded and careworn they become
nobodies to the hurrying, rushing, busting
world, and by-and-by they slip out into the

they will thrill to the embrace of the heay-

All, Stewart, who from your 800, DOC, 900
of earthly treasures have given S $1,000 900 to

All, Peabody, whose gifts of libraries and

put millions into the endowment OF schools

ADAMS FIRST WIRES REyENGE.-The old
Hebrew cabalistic legend of Lilith, the first
wife of Adam, is told by M. D. Conway, in
his lecture on the Devil, in language which
is as beautiful as a finished poem. She was
a cold, passionless, splendid beauty, with
wondrous golden hair. She was created
Adams equal in every respect, and therefore
properly enough refused to obey him. For
this she was driven from the garden of Eden,
and Eve was created, made to order, so to
speak, of one of Adams ribs. Then the
golden-haired Lilith, jealous, enraged, PIN
ing for her first home in Paradise, entered
in the form OF a serpent, crept into the gar

KNOWLEDGE LIMITED.-Think for q mo-
ment of the narrow limits of our knowledge!
Eight hundred millions of featherless bipeds,
more or less, are picking up a living, eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in mar
riage, on this pretty planet of ours /; of what
intinitessimal proportion can you really UNI
veil the secrets and gauge the virtues and
the happiness? How many people do you
know intimately enough to say whether
their lot is, OH the whole, enviable or the re-
verse? Every human being is a foreign
kingdom to every other. We make a short
excursion into their minds we touch at u
port here and there; and we say glibly, that
we know them intimately. We know not
how many dark corners are carefully hid
den away from all strangers, and what vast
provinces have never been reached in our
most daring travels.

A letter from Rio gives the following &C.
count of the manner in which the liberation
of the bishops was received by the BraZi-
lians: sit would be impossible to describe
the joy of the people of this country on
learning the news that the venerable pre-
lates were liberated. On all sides there
were illumination, music and festivity.
Mgr. d'Ohveirs has gone to Europe, and
Mgr. de Macedo has left for Bahia to visit
| his father, who is ill. When the vessel
which bore him away quilted the harbor
three other steamers, full of his friends,
escorted him almost to the horizon. When
Mgr. d'Oliveirs left his prison a guard of
honor was ranged on each side of the door
way to receive him. He went i'm Immediately
and thence to the cathedral, where the TIE
Deune was chanted. AtPara the festivities
were kept up for three days, with illumiDa
tions, fireworks, etc. To crown all, God
has already rewarded the imperial family
by granting a son to the Infanta Dopa Isa-
bella. The Prince was born on October 2,
at Petropolis. 1t will be remem bered that
the Infanta Doua Ieabella was very active
| in obtaining the liberation of the bishops
| and oven did public penance for the outra-
Res perpetrated upon them. A solemn
Ie Deunl was sung in the church of our
Lady of Grace to return thanks for the safe
delivery of the Infanta, in the presence of
| the Imperial family and distinguished per-
cons of their court. The liberation of the
prelates has given universal satisfaction,
and it is even reported that in the course
of short time perfect religious liberty
will be established 30 that the religious or
ders will once more regain their lost posi-
ton. They say that the Emperor and
Empress will visit the United States this
| coming year in state and not incOgnitO as
hitherto reported. "-CdthOlie ReUier.

RENT RAISING IN Ireland.

The latest mails from Ireland contain
distressing news of the raising of rents by
several of the great Anglo Irish landed
proprietors. On Lord Gormanstown's ca
tate in Meath, comprising over $500 acres,
which, twenty years ago, supported pop
ulatien of 164O persons, the rents have
been raised to ruinous rates, and the far.
mers are driven to the wall. From Lord
Siigo's estate in the West, comes the same
cry. The people held q meeting recently
in the chapel yard of Louisburg, and the
parish priest. the Rev. William Joyce, pro.
posed the following resolution
Re diced, That we, the priests aud people of
the parish of Loaisburg, protest in the strong
est terms against the dealings of the Marquis
of Sligo with his tenants, iuasmuch rs the
rents, which have been in some instances in

present increase of from 90 to so per cent, are
now become exorbitant, when taken in connec
tion with the heavy imposts for turbry, sea.

and not far distant fate of the tenants will be

In the south of Ireland, the Earl of Ken
mare is also raising the rents. On Dec. 10,
the following notice was posted and circu
lated in Kerry:

chase in like manner the fee simple of his
farm but the Englishmau, being one of
the trustees, and hating an Irish farmer
who dare question his acts, refuses to
allow Elcock to purchase, and declares he

general indignation throughout Meath and

Dynamite. OF ''giant POWDER" was in
vented by N. Noble, Swedish chemist,
in 1s66-67. 1t consists of nitro glycerine
absorbed by some porous inert solid. The
best material for an absorbent is silicious
infusorial earth found in Hanover. Ger
many, and known as kiessel ghur. 1t will
absorb and retain about three times it's
weight of nitro-glycerine, and has the
appearance of damp Graham -four. This
form prevents the transmission of ordinary
sudden shocks, except under pressure in q
confined space. The presence of the inert
mineral constituents serves also to absorb
heat, 30 that high temperature cannot be
easily impaired to the whole (; but when
impaired this temperature effects great
OK paueion of the gases and an increased
effectiveness of explosion. Ignited in the
open air dynamite burns quietly with
nitrous flames. Exploded USUALLY. by
means of Illuminating fuse or cap), it gives
carbonic acid, nitrogen and hydrogen, and
leaves a white asb, with little or no smoke.
1t has been regarded az the safest of all ex.
plosives, not being affected by a prolonged
temperature of 100 deg. centigrsde, nor is
fit as dangerous as nitro glycerine when II
solidiies at eight degrees centigrade.-

Recent events in this country call tomiDd
the fact that in 1872 there appeared in the
London Spectator list of almost every one
who died in Eogland between 1862 and
1872 leaving a personal property over Gl >
2SO,OOO. 1t apr cared by this that ten per-
sons had died within the decade in Great
Britain, leaving more than a million ster-
ling, fifty three leaving more than bali
million, and one hundred and sixty one
leaving more thOn q quarter of a million.
These estimates, be it borne in mind, re-
terred only to personal property, and in
no CAGE included real estate. 1t may be
added that in aPpraisiDg for probate duty
the estimate lie very low.
