what was then almost n Wilderness OF sunkcn
lots and uninviting quarrics. II was hardly "a
ncighborhood to encourage the admirers Of
st. Cecilia. yet the quaint little church now holds
n large congregation. There is n picture of ST
Cecilia. serving as an altar piece. which il an
admirable copy from Raphael There IL also
an excellent quartet choir. OF which Miss
Agncsc Shechan is the soprano. Miss Teresa
Atkinson the contralto. Ed Atkinson the tenor
and David Kennedy the basso. Among those
who volunteered to assist in yesterdays services
were Miss Emma Abbott. Oh. Fritsch and J. n.
Pnttison. james w. Morrissey had charge OF
the musical arrangements The programme
was MS follows:

The best and sweetest friend of the laborer
is economy. Save a little every day, lay it
by, and it will soon become self-accumuating,
by the safe and generous principle Of COM
pound interest. 1t is astonishing, with such
o habit once formed, how soon the laborer
may find himself enjoying all the pecuniary
facilities which he has been in the habit of
envying in the capitalist. We know that
such a course involves self-denial no indul-
gence in liquor, no sacrifice to snpefhuous
fancies, no riotous living but yet 1t does adj
NIT of all necessities and tile intelligent cul-
tivation of the mind. Indeed, this last pur-
pose should never be lost sight of. If we
know how to spend less than we receive, VIC
have the philosophers stone. Anything which
is not absolutely needed, is dear, no matter
what the price may be or IN other words,
nothing is cheap which Is superfuous.

THE SWEARING PARRoT.-Two friendly
neighbors bought each of them a parrot.---
Thatof Mrs. A., was bird of grave deport-
iiient who had been taught TO speak very
proper words That of Mrs b. WAS All impi-
Gus fellow, for his language abounded in bad
words. Now, Mrs. d. felt quite shocked at
the ireyerent talk Of her parrot, and prevail
cd on her friend to allow the grave parrot to
pay visit to the swearer in hope of reclaim-
ing the rogue by good example. The two
birds stayed for about a nonth but imagine
the cofsternation Of good Mrs A., OH tho
return of her more grave and derotous bird,
to hear Lin swearing terribly. The fact is,
that instead Of teaching, he had been learn
ing, and from that sad day, his language was
as bad as that of his seapegrace associate.
Let all our scholars learn from this that, ala
though they have never been guilty Of pro-
faneness, nor of speaking foul and tinrlean
words, yet II they keep company with wick
ed boys, who delight in swearing, they will
soon be likely to indulge in profape language,
for ''evil communications corrupt good man
ners."

TEE rsD1oREE or woHDs.

A study of the pedigree of many words,
which are in daily use would prove more fas-
cinating than any other kind of mental recre-
alton. Trench, in his little work on the Study
of Words has done much to cultivate the
taste for this kind Of investigation but he
made only beginning. The field is mex
haustable. The following brief list will be
found of interest
" Jet" derives Its name from the Gagates,
river Of Lycia where was found the black
stone which the French call gagate, or jact,
which we abbreviate into jet.
Pamphyla, a Greek lady who compiled a
history of the world into thirty-five little
books has given her name to the pamphlet. y
Punch and Judy are the relics Of an
ancient mystery play, in which the actors
were Pontius PLATE and Judas Iscariot.
"Dollars" is from the German thaler,
which is derived from Thai, the valley of Jo-
achim in Bohemia, where the silver works
were situated that made this coin.
Bigot" is from visigotha, in which the
fierce and intolerant Ariansm Of the Visigoth
conqueror of Spain has been banded down to
infamy,
Humbug is from Hamburg "a piece OF
Hamburg news was in Germany, proverb-
ial expression for false political rumors.
Extort . and s'yeast /" are from the same
root which signifies something boiling or ov-
erfiowing.
"Gas i" and gust have the same parent
age.
"Blue Jean Williams " probably does not
know that the fabric from which he gets his
name was originally made by Moore at Jean,
in Spain.
"Gauze" derives it's name from GAIA,
where 10 was first made.
Damask silk was first made at Damascus.
The word sPanic" has curious origin
According to Herodotus the god Pan was sup
posed to have assisted the Greeks at the bat
tie of Marathon, 400 B. c., striking such a
terror into the Persian hosts that they fled to
their ships in perfect dismay. From that the
Greek term pauikon was used to describe ua-
reasonable or sudden and overpowering fear.
Tabby cat " is all unconscious that her
name is derived from Atab, famous street
in Bagtiad Inhabited by the manufacturers OF
sillsen stuffs called Atabi, or taffety the
wavy markings of the watered silks resemb-
ling pussy's coat.
"Old Scratch y is the demon Skratti, who
still survives in the superstitions of northern
Europe.
