The essence of he Hindoo religion is
Precipitation. The native mind has a
practical turn, and wishes to attain
definite purpose in its sacred rites. 1t
is willing to 60 through any amount of
trouble in its observances, if some clear
gain is to be got by the process. The
clearest gain that the native mind can
picture TO itself is the averting of evil.
And its fertile fancy has been set to
work to imagine all the sources of evil
possible. Every conceivable calamity
is attributable to some evil agency,
either god, or a devil, or deceased
man. There are good agents on the
other side, and they may be propitiated
to fight against the bad agents. In
dim way they recognize a Supreme
Being; but they argue that he is too
good to hurt any one, and 50 he may be
left out of the account. With this ex-
ception, everything that produces the
notion of power is worth Precipitation
consisting in depositing little offerings
of food or OF anything that the agent, If
alive and in human shape, might be
conceived to like. Thus, on the tomb
of one English official, who had terri
fed them during his life, the natives
deposited little offerings of brandy and
cigars, hoping that he will still like
these luxuries as much as he used TO do,
and that as long as his spirit could
smoke and drink 1t would not occupy
itself In annoying them. Again, offer
ings were deposited on the tomb of
another Englishman who had In life
been famed for shooting tigers, In the
hope that his turn for worrying tigers
still survived, and might be somehow
put to good account. London Spectator,

TIE EVENING TINE.

Together we walked in the evening time,
Above us the sky spread golden aud clear,
And he bent his head and looked ia my ewes,
As If he held me OF all most dear.
o. it was sweet in the evening time
And our pathway went through fields OF wheat,
Narrow the path and rough the way.
But he was near and ths birds sang true,
And the stars came out in the twilight gray.
o, it was sweet in the evening time
Softly he spoke of the days long past,
Softly of blessed DAYS TO be
Close to his arm and closer pressd-
The corn field path was Eden 10 me.
o, it was sweet in the evening time
Grayer the light and grayer still,
The rocks fitted home through the purple
shade.
The nightingales sang where the thorns stood
high
As | walked with him in the woodland glade.
o. it was sweet in the evening time
Aud the latest CLEANS Of daylight died,
My hand in his unfolded lay;
We swept the dew from the wheat as we passed
For narrower, narrower wound the way
o. 1t was sweet in the evening time
He looked in the depth Of my eyes and said,
Sorrow and Sladness will come for us sweet ;
Buttogether well walk through the fl Ids of life
Close as we walked through the field OF wheat

importance with the gossips ofthe Latin
Quarter. 1t was called the "Suicide's
Hotel" and had a most unenviable rep
utatiOn. Ii was an hotel meuble, and
became infected some ten years ago
with suicide mania. 4 young student
despairing and in love, blew his brains
out in the room he occupied, and just
one year after another student, in the
same house and the same room, COM
mitted suicide i'm the same manner
after losing his money in a low gamb-
ling house. The owner of the hotel,
alarmed at the fate which had befallen
the two occupants of the room, refused
to allow any one to live in it, and
caused il TO be transformed into box
and lumber receptacle. a few months
afterward the waiter, accused of hav-
ing purloined some articles Of wearing
apparel from lodger, stole away to the
lumber-roOm, where he was found
hanged, and the owner of the house, in
despair, sold his lease and left place
where the demon of suicide seemed to
rule supreme. The hotel was sold
again and again, but none could keep
it. A strong-minded druggist took the
premises and carried on his business,
despising tradition and laughing at the
old gossips, whose stories had enabled
him to make such bargain. Domestic
misfortunes shook the cynicism of the
unbeliever, who, finding his wife had
deceived him, retired to the room which
had become the chamber of death, and
there poisoned himself with his own
drugs. The whole quarter was up in
arms, public opinion demanded that
the fatal room should be walled up, but
the new owner laughed at the fears of
his neighbors, and declared that he
meant to occupy the chamber in ques-
ton. At last notice was given that the
place was about to be pulled down to
make room for the Boulevard Saint
German. An indemnity of tlO,OOO
was demanded, but refused, and the
jury having decided that f3,5OO was
ample compensation the owner grew
despondent and declared he was a
ruined man. He was compelled to ac-
cept the money and was elected in due
course, but few days ago he asked
permission to visit the old premises be-
fore they were pulled down. His re-
quest was granted, ana nothing more
was heard of him until the demoliSSeurS
went into the place, where they found
him hanging by the neck in the fatal
room.

An Ideal Woman.

My ideal woman is frank, intelligent
generous, energetic, gentle and tender
to the hearts core, and has a dash of
romance about her. The romantic are
ever buoyant, for so-called romantic
feelings are only an evidence of the
spirits fresh life. They do not really
sink into the dry-rot of an innate eXis-
tence they do not swell the list of the
nervous-minded, and the sOrdid and
the mean, and the intriguing and the
self-righteous. OF them are not made
the slaternly or shrewish wives, the in
capable or Indifferent mothers, the
treacherous friends, of whose existence
we may hear any day on all sides.
They take no ungenerOus advantage
of simplicity or timidity, they stand
aloof from detraction--they would not
willingly sully the pure, bright cur
rent of their own thoughts. They may
startle many around them by an honest
outburst of indignation, but they will
not harbOr malice, or seek to perpetu-
ate the evil they have denounced. Above
all, the romantic are strong in religious
faith; for. the ideas Of perfection, and
beneficence and beauty and goodness
and truth, are most powerfully devcl-
oped in them. Let no skeptic come
near him with his cold philosophy and
useless creed, that consigns "dust to
dust" even while the living flesh
might alone and well confute him by
the power of its unconquerable In
stincts. Those who have once tasted
of the water of life at the fountain-head
are not to be dismayed by the reports Of
its after-failing course amid the miry
and darkened ways Of an imperfect and
faithless world.
OF this class were the women who,
in all ages and countries, have greatly
signalized themselves In true womanly
ways, bearing witness before, time
past and to come, that true nobility Of
soul, steadfastness Of purpose, heroic
courage and high faith, are naturally
allied to the earnest truth and the deep
rooted affection of which they spring
spontaneously, amid circumstances re-
quiring the grandest developments Of
individual power.

his verdict.
Kate, whispered NIFTY, when the
doctor was gone, and the sick man was
all still and settled for the night, sup

in that case, NIFTY, don't think we
should ever repent that we had done

softly.
But Bernard Wallar did not die. lie

all the rules of true love, he lost his

am reaching the end of my story
nOw-the romance that irradiated our
lives, when the cake was cut, and NIFTY
and Bernard had gone on their tour
with humble little me along in the
capacity of bridesmaid.
We had travelled all day, and towards
night, on glorious October day, we
drove into the gate of spacious old
place, where were octagonal towers
and ivy-mantlcd walls.
90, what find old place = said NIFTY,
All, look at that lovely, glittering foun-
tain, and the beds of scarlet geranum.
Bernard, are you going to sketch this
placeP
Il may, in time, said my sisters hus-
band, composedly, as he sprang out
and opened the carriage door.
Are we going to get out here, Ber-
nard?' Do you know the people,?
But before he could answer, the
great carved oak doors flew open, re-
vealing a stately entrance hall, with a
fire burning at the farthest end, and
glowing softly, pictures CLEANED down
from the walls, chairs upholstered in
violet velvet stood around. To NIFTY
and me it was like glimpse of fairy
land.

sisted NIFTY, as she advanced timidly
up the broad marble steps.

Waller STILL
Now wasn't that a romence? And,
you see, it really happened to NIFTY
and me, and we are fine ladies now,
and drive about with our open barouche
and cream-colored horses. And you
can guess how discomtited Mrs. Hall
and Henrietta were when they first
heard the real position of the sick artist.
