LIPPINCoTTs MAGAZINE FOR JULY-begin-
ming q new volume-commends itself to par
ticular notice by the appropriateness Of its
leading contributions Besides the regula
article on the Centennial Exhibition, and a
"Glimpse of Philadelphia in July, 1776," by
Mrs. Rebecca Harding Davis, both hand
somely illustrated, there is long Centennial
poem, entitled "Psalm of the West,' by
Lidney Lanier, which contrasts most strik-
ingly with the conventional odes usually asso-
ciated with such occasions. Written in
great variety Of metres, and presenting a
series of vivid historical pictures, it is at
once both epic and lyrical. As thoroughly
national poem, original in conception and not
less powerful in execution, there is nothing in
our literature to compare to it. The first of
series Of papers on "The Eastern Shore of
Maryland" by Rev. Robert Wilson, will be
welcomed not only for the information it
gives respecting the resources Of region that
is now attracting immigration, but for its
graphic descriptions and amusing anecdotes
Mrs. Hooper's account of f:The Markets Of
Paris is a readable paper on capital sub
jcct, and an episode of the Revolution is a
curious and romantic bit Of family history,
in which several of the most notable person.
ages of the period figure more or less promi-
nently. In fiction we have the concluson OF
LEAN Dundas,' and of Edward Kearsey' s
"Thee and You," with its strong dramatic
incidents set in the quaint surroundings OF
Quaker manners; besides an agreeable little
story of Anglo-Italian life, s'The Rainbow Of
the Termini." Lady Barker continues hei
vivid letters from South Africa, and the
Monthly Gossi p has its usual complement O
varied and sprightly matter.

The Fourth of July.

Mr.. Reynolds, please insert the following
Will the buying public be kind enough to
do their shopping and make their purchases
for the Fourth on Monday July Sd, so that
the merchants of Middletown can close their
stores on Tuesday the Forth, and not be
obliged to "keep one eye open" as has been
the case during the past hundred years, to
accommodate few customers who never buy
an article until they are ready to use it. We
intend to give our clerks holiday on that day,
and some of us being bachelors ould like to
go courting and the married men to spend the
day with their families. A MERCHANT.

to respect that federal constitution under

have been for 500. 900 men, becaue he
believed great war was imminent, and
large force necessary in the very inter-
ests Of humanity In the ligat Of sub
sequent events it is evident that the
adoption of his views would have saved
much carnage and devastation.
His advice was not taken, but he had
the satisfaction within year after it
was given, Of hearing the Secretary of
War acknowledge its wisdom and
lament his inability to secure its adop-
tion.

Queer Supplies for Boarders.

A Winnemucca, New, paper relates
the following: THERE'S an enterprising
woman living In the vicinity OF Camp
Halleck. She is the keeper of board
ing house. She has bit upon a cute de-
vice to get her goods shipped from FL
ko free of freight. She has a bright,
intelligent Indian who heap sabe all
the same as white man. AS Indians
go where and when they please on the
cars free of charge, whenever this good
landlady wants a bill of grub, she gives
Capt. Jacinto an order and starts him
for Elko. He would muster his boys
and squaws, jump aboard the train, and
return laden with goods, wares, and
merchandise for the boarding house
The thing of having the platforms of
the cars so frequently occupied by Sho-
shones and chemuck got a little monot-
onous, SO few days ago some of the
Wells Fargo boys got the lady's order
book from the captain, tore out the Or
der, and substituted one therefor. On
the return trip the Indians were laden
with such goods as the following: -Four
hand hay-rakes, one shovelplow, a keg
of whisky, three picks, four shovels
two crow-bars, one gross playing cards
one key of nails, a hand-saw, and one
jack-screw."

MY HEART IS THINE.

When springs first violet on the gale
Her tender perfume filings;
When, deep in some sequestered vale,
The thrush his love tale sings;
When all bright things of earth and sky
In hymns of praise combine
one song, one prayer alone breathe /
Sweet love, wilt thou be mine?"
When from the woodland still and lone,
Through the long summer night,
Sad Philomel's impassioned tone
Thrills with loves deep delight;
When, stepped in balnliest breath Of June
The earth seems half divine,
No change know | in words or tune.
But sing: Wilt thou be mine?n
When autumn's red and autumn's gold
Paint wood and void and hill;
When winter nights grow drear and cold.
Love, am changeless still.
Though violets wither, roses fade
Loves calendar and mine
Mark summer still in sun and shade.
And still my heart is thine

The Vatican.
From q Home Journal.

The word Is often used, but there are
many who do not understand its i'm
port. The term refers to collection of
buildings on one of the seven hills of
Rome, which covers space l 200 feet
in length and 1000 feet in breadth. 1t
is built on the spot once occupied by
the garden of the cruel Nero 1t owes
its origin to the Bishop of Rome, who,
in the early part of The Sixth Century,
erected an humble residence on its site.
About the year 116O Pope Eugenius
rebuilt in on a magnificent scale. In
nocent H., few years afterward, gave
it up as a lodging to Peter H., King of
AragOn. In 1906 Clement ", at the
instigation of the King of France, re-
moved the Papal See from Rome to
Avignon, where the Vatican remained
IN state Of obscurity and neglect for
more than seventy years.
But soon after the return of the
Pontifcal Court of Rome, an event
which had been SO earnestly prayed for
by the poor Petrarch, and which finally
took place in 1876, the Vatican was put
in a state of repair, again enlarged, and
it was thenceforth considered as the
regular palace and residence of the
Popes, who, one after the other, added
fresh buildings to it and gradually en-
circled it with antiquities, statues, pic
lures and books, until it became the
richest depository in the world.
The library of the Vatican was COM
cemced 1,4OO years ago. 1t contains
10000 manuscripts, among which are
some by Pliny, ST. Thomas, St. Charles
Borromeo, and many Hebrew, Syrian,
Arabian, and Armimian Bibles. The
whole Of the immense buildings compos-
ing the Vatican are filled with statues
found beneath the ruins of ancient
Rome with paintings by the masters,
and with curious medals and antiqui-
ties of almost every description.
When it is known that there has
been more than 70, 900 statues exhumed
from the ruined temples and palaces
Of Rome, the reader can form some
idea of the richness of the Vatican
