SUNDAY AT THE CENTENNIAL.-The Chris
tian Weekly says:
"The anti Sunday law men have carried
the day in New Jersey, and the railroads
will run their Sunday trains to Philadelphia.
The Centennial managers have voted to open
the grounds on the Sabbath. The liquor
shops will, we fear, be in full blast. And
after the railroads are running, and the
grounds are opened, and the beershops are
opened in the grounds, if the Commissioners
have sufficient backbone to keep the build
ings closed they will show more than they
have thus far exhibited. We had a right to
ask that this Exhibition, maintained largely
at public expense, should respect the public
conscience. 1t is grievous disappoint-
ment to the best Christian men of the ma
tion that it has done SO, thus far, so imper-
fectly."

sOnal interviews Looked at as the whole
narrative appears in the words employed BY
Jesus, and on record in the original, " Touch
me not, and "Fear not have about the
same significance, which was to hasten the
messengers on their way with the blessed
tidings to the greatly distressed disciples.

ONLY A WHILE.


Only a while to work,
And long, long time to rest,
Then drive the cloud from theaching brow,
The sigh from the troubled breast.
Up! with strong and hopeful heart;
Up with a sunny face;
Shoulder your trouble cheerfUlly-
Bear it with patient grace.
Only while the feet must bleed
And the burdened back must bend;
Suffer in silence, and silently
Help others, who suffer, friend.
Only a while our tears must drip,
Drop after drop like rain
And our lips grow white with the pain OF the
heart,
The very god of pain.
Only very little while;
As short as the going down
Of the setting sun, to meekly bear
The cross and the thorny crown.
Only while to watch and pray,
And long, long time to praise;
Our God, the Father, knoweth best,
Then question not BIS ways.
Only little while to SOW,
And long, long time TO reap,
Let's SOW in faith with an open hand,
And tares from good seed keep.
Only little while to lose,
But all Eternity to fad
The Jewels death has robbed US Of
The friends we viii leave behind.
Only while to trim our lamps
Ere the Bridegroom passeth by;
Then eli them well with the oil Of Love;
Let the flames rise pure and high.
Only a while-what matters it
If our life be short or long?
If we only sing few faint notes
Or the whole of the changing song?
The missing notes viii all be found,
And the song be wholly sung
In Heaven, where God's s own hand will tune
The harp BE has Unstruug.

ANOTHER Hoop. Two neighbOrs, says
SpurgeoD, cooper ard farmer were spend.
ing the evening together. Both were pro-
fessors of religion, but of different cOmmun-
ions. Their. conversation was first upon
topics relating to practical religion, but after
time it diverged to the points of difference
between the two denominations to which they
belonged. 1t first became discussion, and
then dispute. The cooper was the first to
perceive its Improbable and injurious ten
dency, and remarked, "We are springing
apart from each other; letus put on another
hoop-let US pray" They kneeled down
and prayed together, after which they spent
the remainder of the evening lovingly to
gether, converSing on the things of the king
dom in which they both felt an equal inter
est. The suggestion of the cooper was an
excellent one, and it were well we're it acted
on more frequently by those who, like him
are members of the household of Christ.

"THERE are some preachers who can man.
age to deliver sermon and leave out Christ 8
name altogether. Surely the true believer
will stand, like Mary Magdalene, over the
sermon and say: 'They have taken away
my Lord, and l know not where they have
laid him. '-SpwgeOn.

SATAN is an old Sophist, and we need not
be curious to know all he has to say against
the truth.

The Joliet Ull.) Sun tells the following
"a boy: named David Annctt, some days
since plowed up an old psir Of god.trimned
spectacies on the farm OF william Frouser
near Plainlicld, in this county. That of IT.
self was matter OF little note. but on ex-
animation there was found to be eDgraven
on one OF the golden bows the inscription,
TO Rev. James Snowden, 1885, un tie
other bow the words, Prom Mrs Jane G.
Washington, Mt. Vernon Rev. James
snowden was u Methodist minister ma
tive OF Virginia, and came to this county at
ali early day from the vicinity OF Sit. Yer
uon. lie was a neighbor and friend OF the
Washington family, and these spectaeles
were given him by Jane c. Washington, a
niece Of the Father Of his country. Nr.
Snowden has been dead number Of years
TIE field where the spectacles were plowed
up was part OF the old Snowden farm. a
son Of Mr.. Snowden. who lives in the neigh
borhoOd, hearing o. the matter, went 70 the
young man Annett and asked TO see the
relic Upon lookinga moment at the long
Lost article, he remarked that they belonged
TO his father, and pat tlen in his pocket.
The boy objected to such a summary di-po-
ton OF the treasure, and through his next
friend repleyIned the goods on Wedncs-
day OF this week. The suit Will he tried
before Justice Patricks ~ thi, city. The
glasses were found in a metal case which
was badly ru,ted, but the spectacle frame
being gold is vel preserved and the double

bows are Hat and quite heavy, and the bands
or rim, around the glasses are also heavy

value is not more than twelve or iifte- dol

RUsKIN on HER4LDRr.

Mr.. Ruskin delivered lecture on pre-
cious stones in London recently. 1t re-
lated principally to an explanation Of
heraIdic stonesand eolOrs. "Heraldry,"
he said, I" was despised by modern science,
but yet, as understood BY our ancestors,
it had deep and important meaning.
Or, or gold, which was represented by
the topaz, stood between light and dark
ness ecarlate was the sacred color of the
living flesh, as represented in the blush
Of the virgin and the flush ot valor on
the cheek of the young warrior, Vert

sgul3 a rose azure was the clear, sacred
blue of the sky, typical Of the Joys Of
heaven. The ruby and sapphire were, in
fact, the same stones, and in combination
produced the p,rp,ra, or purple, which
formed the covering Of the tabernacle.
Out Of the above colOrs came the eombi-
nation OF the rainbow. Argent typifed

Of the lecture, the parts Of which from

the ladies to have al their gems set Va

Of an uncut precious stone in the world.

MA1LEs OF COUNTRIES.

The following countries, it is said,
were originally named by the PhGni-
clans, the greatest commercial people in
the world. The names in the Pheni-
clan language signify something charac-
teristic of fhe places designated; Europe
signifies a country OF white complexion,
so named because the inhabitants were of
a lighter complexion than those of Asia
or Africa. Asia signifies between, or in
the middle, from the fact that geOgraPhers
placed it between Europe and Africa.
Africa signifed the land of corn or ears.
1t was celebrated for its abundance of
corn and all sorts of grain. Siberia sig
mites thirsty or dry-very characteristic,
Spain, a country of rabbits or comics. 1t
was once so infested with these animals
that they sued Augustus for an army to
destroy them. Italy, country of pitch,
from its yielding great quantities of
black pitch. Calabria, also, for the same
reason. Gaul, modern France, signifies
yellow-haired, as yellow hair character
lied Its inhabitants. The English of
Caledonia is a high HILL This was a
rugged, mountainous province in Scot
land. Hibernia is utmost or last habi-
tation; for beyond this, westward, the
Phenicians never extended their voy-
ages. Britain, the country of tin, great
quantities being found on it and the adj
iacent islands. Tbs Greeks called it AL
bion, which signified ID the Ph@nician
tongue either white or high mountains,
from the whiteness Of its shores or the
high rocks on the western coast, Corsica
signifies the footsteps Of men, which it
resembles. Syracuse signifies bad SAVIOR,
so called from the unwhOlesome marsh
on which it stood. Rhodes, serpents sr
dragons, which it produced IN album
dance. Sicily, the country Of grapes.
Soylla, the whirlpool of destruction.
Etna signifies a furnace, or dark and
smoky

HE'LL GATE.
Forty thousand Pounds of Nitro GIyoeriTae
to be Exploded at one Pop.


to be Exploded at one Pop
The New York Sunday Telegram says
that ten years ago the war department
directed General John Newton, of the
United States engineer corps, to make
estimates for the removal of the obstruc-
tions in the East river, at Hallett's point,
Familiarity known as "Hell Gate"
The survey for the work was made in
1869. The work itself involved the re-
moval of the Middle Reef, Gridiron, Hen
and Chickens, and Negroes Head, virtu-
ally the complete demolition of Hallett's
Point. In September, 1869, the first
machinery was erected, and the work of
burrowing into the heart of the sub
merged rocks progressed slowly but sure
~. The unwise delay of congress in ap-
propriating the necessary funds, and the
niggardly and paltry allowances made,
hampered theadVancement of the scheme.
At last, however, it is announced as near
completion, by the bulletin, that the
chamber prepared for the great charge
which is to rend the stony mass to splint-
ers, and make He'll Gate terror of the
past, is as large as it is required to be.
By this explosion the eastern entrance to
New York will be opened to vessels of
twenty-six feet draught. The cost of the
affair in money has been, so far, $3.50, 900.
The work has been under direction of
General Newton, and deserves special
record in the annals of American engi-
neering, At the extremity Of Hallett's
Point, which is laid bare at low water,
a central shaft was SUNK, and the ledge
of rocks into which it descended was sur
rounded by Golfer dam to guard the
workings from the high tides. From the
main shaft ten large headings radiated,
like the spokes of awheel, running out
into the river bed and under the reefs
which it was necessary to remove. From
these twenty-eight smaller drifts were
driven. The larger shafts, the chief of
which was two hundred feet long, were
named after various United States Off
GERS, as the Grant, Mcclellan, Meade,
etc, galleries, and were connected at regS
ular distances by lateral galleries, circu-
lar in form and concentric with the CEN
ter of the shaft. Twenty-Five and half
acres were undermined in this way, ana
a mile and half Of tunneling made.
The great danger attendant on the work
was, Of course, that likely to result from
the oaving OF the roof rock. To fully
guard against this soundings were made
all over the work at regular intervals Of
one foot, In ordinary cases the lead was
sunk, but where shale was met with the
patent sounding instrument was driven
through the bed rock BY boring, But
few short Of thirty thousand Of these
