EVENINGS AT HONE.

The long evenings, which follow the short
days, are made, in some families, the happi-
est of all happy times. The cares of the day
are ended; the mothers resting time has
come the father has dropped all sorts of
business worries and perplexities; and the
whole family throw themselves with zest in
to the innocent pleasures of the home circle.
Solomon tells us that there is time for all
things; a time to weep, and q time to laugh,
to play, and to dance comes most appropri-
ately in the. long pleasant evening hours,
when
The cares that infGst the day
Fold up their tents like the Arabs,
And silently steal away.
It is well for the women of the household
to remember that the pleasant evenings at
home are strong antidotes to the practice Of
looking for enjoyment abroad, and seeking
for pleasure IN by and forbidden places for
relaxation and recreation will be INDUCED in
somehow by most men, and happy are they
who find in the home circle the diversion
they need. A lively game, an interesting
book read aloud, or, in musical families, a
new song to be praeticed, will furnish pas
time that will make an evening pass pleas
antly.

A little forethought during the day, a little
pulling of wires that need not appear, will
make the whole thing easy, and different
ways and means may be provided for ma
king the evening hours pass pleasantly, and
q time to be looked forward to with pleas
ant anticipations. We visited once in a large
family where it was the duty OF each sister,
in turn, to provide the evenings occupation,
and there was Il pleasant rivalry between
them as to whose evening should be the
most enjoyable. The brothers entered fully
into the spirit of the simple home entertain
ments, and were as 10th to be obliged to
spend an evening away from home as their
sisters and parents were sorry to have them
absent. Every one spoke OF this family as
an uncommonly united one, for each and eV-
cry member showed such a strong attach
ment for the home to which each one con-
tributed so much p~leasure.-Rmat World.

REALITIES.
,lGL,

There is life and death going on in every
thing; truth and lies are always at battle.
Pleasure is always warning against self-re-
Doubt is always crying pshaw! and
sneering. A man in life, a humOrist in wri-
ting about life, sways over to one principle
or the other, and laughs with reverence for
right and the love Of truth in his heart, or
laughs at these from the other side. Didn't
I tell you that dancing was a serious bust
ness to a harlequin? I have read two or
three of Congreve's plays over before
speaking of him; and my feelings were rath-
er like those, which | dare say most of us
have had, at Pompeii, looking at Sallust's
house and the relics of an orgie-a dried
VINEGAR or two, a charred supper table, the
the breast of dancing-girl pressed against
the ashes, the laughing skull of a Jester, a
perfect stiffness round about, as the Cicerone
twangs his moral, and the blue sky shines
calmly over the ruin. The Congreve muse
is dead, and her song choked in times ashes.
We gaze at the skeleton. INT wonder at the
life which once reveled in its mad veins.
We take the sdull up, and muse over the
frolic and darings, the wit, scorn, passion
hope, desire, with which that empty bowl
once fcrmented. We think Of the glances
that allured, the tears that melted, OF the
bright eyes that shene in those vacent sock
cts; and of lips whispering love, and cheeks
dimpling with smiles, that..once covered yon
CHASTITY yellow framework. They used to
call those teeth pearls once. See! there's the
cup she drank from, the gold chain she wore
on her neck, the vase which held the rong'
for her cheeks, her looking-glass, and the
harp she used to dance to. Instead OF a feast
we find a gravestone; and in place OF Il mis-
tress, a few bones !-Thackeray.

serious temperament, her tastes led her to
the study of sacred literature, had she be-
one of the most learned t~heologians in
Italy, and was given the title Of Doctor. She
chose for her husband Gilbert of Correggio,
chief of that illustrious house. and was mar
ried to him in 1903, when in her oath year.
At the end of two years she was the mother
of two sons. She was tenderly loved of her
husband, and, as he had remarkably beauti-
full eyes, she addressed to those "shining
orbs'' some of her most exquisite sonnets.
This husband, so well beloved, died ten
years after marriage, n Veronica, al
though still young, consecrated herself to
eternal wi%dowhood. During the remain
der of her life she had her apartments drap-
ed in black, was drawn about by the black
est of horses and wore always a garb of deep
Widowhood. Heiress to all her husbands
fortune, she superintendent the education OF
her sons, one of whom rose to high military
rank, while the other became a cardinal.
She continued her own studies the same as
in her youth, cultivating her love OF poetry
and literature. Personally she was no.

Meanwhile the centre door gradually opens,
and the Savior advances to the centre Of the
platform, and meekly stands with folded
arms. AS the Apostles approach, each turns
and bows lowly to the Savior, who blesses
each. AS Peter approaches, Satan appears,
and by his motions, seems to tempt Peter,

than to-day, prevailed among men, thar

Work for some good, lie it ever SO slowly,
Cherish some flower, be it ever so lowly,
Labor-all labor is noble and holy.
When Il man is unfortunate, people arg
ready to find him faulty lest they should be
forced to pity him.
& Whatever be your outward lot in life,

guilty Of neglecting moments.
Let us adopt the love Of peace, that
Christ may recognize his own, even as We

The full assurance of faith, always al

FHE HON CIR E.
THE sTRAsBURG CLOCK.

The following is a description OF the cur
inns mechanism of the exact model of the
wonderful clock of the Strasburg Cathedral:
This beautiful and gigantic model is divid-
ed into four sections, or parts, and is twelve
feet in height. The lowest part, or base
stands three feet high, six feet long by three
feet deep. In the centre is the grand Or
rery. after the Copernican system, in the
middle of which is the golden sun, surround
ed by the planets visible to the naked eye,
each planet performing its revolution exact
" in the allotted time the whole enconll-
PASSED by a beautiful and accurate represen-
tation of the twelve Signs OF the Zodiac
On a panel to the left of the Orrery is a
splendid painting IMPLYING day, on the
right, .Luna.' in her chariot, representing
sight; on the sides of the base are also
paintings typical Of the beginning and END
of time. Above the Orrery, in a semi-circu-
lar dial, are represented the phases OF the
moon.
The second section contains the Grand
Calendar, calculated for so years, from 1851
to 1900. 1t contains the years, the leap years,
the golden numbers, the epacts, the Domin-
zeal letters, the months, the days OF the

In the third section is the dial which marks
the hours and minutes; on the right is an
angel holding a sceptre on the left an angel
with an hour-glass. Above the dial, within

a scythe in his left hand, in his right a ham
mer, before him a bell, In front pass the
four ages of man-chillhood, youth, man
hood and old age-represented by four NOV
ing figures. AS the hand of the clock points
to the first quarter, the child advances to the
centre, and Father Time strikes one upo1
the bell at the second quarter the you'll
approaches, and Time strikes two; ut thu
shird quarler, as manhood approaches, Tlm'

of the case, are stationed the angels Of LIT
and Death.
The fourth section is the superstructurt
It's a richly ornamented chapel of the PEI
pendicular style of Gottic architecture, su1
mounted by elegant flying, buttresses an
open spires, enriched by gilded crockets an
trefoil ornaments. On either side are At
vanced porticos; in tho middle a large pc
uon deliberately carved; between are lane
windows with single mullions, crown

AN uNMATED PAIR.

"Come. now, Sarah, take your husbands
hand and promise me that you will 60
straight home with hin and be a loving
wife to him in future" said Justice Duffy,
at the Tombs Police Court, in his most win
ming tone, to a well-dressed young woman
who stood at the bar nervously patting her
foot on the floor, her lips tightly compress
ed, and her eyes looking daggers at a man
by her side.
She had been married only six months,
but that short period, according to their
joint testimony, represented ages Of unhap-
piness. 10 each. According to the man, his
wife rivaled Nantippe in ferceness, while
the woman's statement painted her hus-
band as black as the arch fiend himself.
"What! I live with him, judge" said
the young woman, in reply to the maris-
trate's kindly motives. "No, indeed! Ask
me to jump off the East River Bridge AMI
and III do it; but don't ask me to live with
that caricature Of a mar"
"Never fear, my sweet pet" said the hus-
band, ironically !; " won't 60 insane over
it. I'll try and keep my health. 1t may
have a little demoralizing effect on me not
to hear your dear little tongue wagging,
wagging, wagging, from morning until
night, and | may miss the daily exercise OF
trying-pans flying a tmy head; but on the
whole, l think I'll be able to manage life
without you."
The magistrate gave up in despair his Of.
forts at reconciliation, and the pair lett the

a king in one of his own tragedies before
Queen Elizabeth, who wishing to know
whether he would depart from the dignity
of the sovereign, dropped her handkerchief
on the stage, as if by accident; on which

&c But ere this be done, take up our sis

business of the scene is said to have pleased
