Loneliness of an Invalid's Life.

Few are they who, in the actiVi-
ties of robust life, pause to think of
the loneliness of the helpless inVa-
lid-Of the isolated bondage of weak
ness. To q young woman who cut
off from all youthful amusements
and pursuits, who is restrained from
love, who, within in four walls, is
bound to her couch by chains as
cruel as If they were made of steel,
whose hands are forbidden any re-
Spouse to the busy motions OF her
mind, there come hours when even
sympathy WearieS of its ministry,
and mercenary attendance must
seek relief from its burdens. She
must be left alone, her hands folded
in patient waiting. Renaissance,
idle dreaming, aspiration, regrets,
tears-these come in pathetic rou-
tine to fill the heavy hours when
society departs. Great, silent hero
isms are wrought out in intervals
like these, more wonderful than the
common Imagination can conceive;
or great moral disasters are suffered
from which there is no recovery.
In one direction or the Other-tO-
ward cheerful, self-forgetful, ever
bouyant fortitude; or toward fret
fitness, impotence, discomfort and
weak complaining-the invalid al
ways graVitates. Wine, long shut
from thesunlight, ripens into nectar
or vinegar. The alternative is main
~ fixed by the amount of sunlight
it had the privilege of absorbing
when it hung in clusters upon the
x.ino D4s IToTy017d

The Russian Artillery.

1t is stated by the Cologne Gazette
that the Russian army has gone into
the field with guns that are in all
respects equal, if not superior, in
precision and force to those used by
the German armies in the last
French war. Their gunners have
had ten years experience of these
guns. The material used is partly
bronze, partly steel. AT first a great
number of steel barrels were OBJ
tanned from MeSsrs. Krupp, but
various experiments with bronze
barrels having produced satisfactory
results, the latter material only was
used; so that the normal artillery
consists OfbrOnze guns, the steel ones
being kept as reserve. The Rus
sian field-guns are all 4-pOunders
and 9-pOunders. The lighter guns
are for the horse batteries and one
half of the foot batteries, and the
heavier ones for the remaining half.
Both kinds are rather heavier, both
as regards the shot and the barrel,
than the German guns of cOrrespOn-
ding size. This makes them less
movable, but better suited for the
present war, which will chiefly con-
sist of attacks on fortified positions.
The Russian 9-pounder, which rep
resents 10 per cent. Of the whole
field-artillery, may be regarded as
q Siege-gun.

Privilege of Priests.

Our Dublin correspondent writes
-"The Court of Common Pleas gave
judgment on Tuesday upon demur-
rer of a novel character. An action
for SANDER was brought against the
Rev. Mr.. Finn, PIP, of Newcastle,
in the county of Tipperary, by a par
ishiOner named M'Grath, who COM
planned that he told the people at
Station held in a farmhouse to 'let
no man, woman or child keep his
company or speak to him, and if he
came into a tOWnland to tie a kettle
to his tail as the people used to do
of DID, He also, as alleged, insinu-
ated that the plaintiff stole his moth
er's cows, and threatened to induce
his mother or his landlord to get him
to leave the country. Among the
defences to the action was the plea
of privilege, that the defendant was
preaching a sermon, and that before
doing so he had been informed that
the plaintiff had been guilty of con-
duct which rendered his presence
in the country a public scandal
therefore he used the language on a
privileged occasion. Mr.. Justice
KeOgh remarked that it was a very
unusual proceeding to condemn a
man publicly without hearing him.
Chief Justice Morris observed that
the defendant was forbidden to name
any person from the altar, and it
could not be argued that he was dis
charging moral duty while actual
ly disObeying his spiritual superior.
Mr.. Heron, &C, for the defendant,
replied that it did not appear that
the plaintiff had been referred to by
name, and if this power was denied
to a clergyman his powers for the
suppression of vice would be greatly
diminished. Mr.. Murphy, &C,
for the plaintiff, argued that a clergy
man had no more privilege than an
ordinary person to bring public ac-
cusatiOn against q mans private
character unless he was able to sup
port it by proof. The Chief Justice,
in giving Judgment, said there was
no precedent for the privilege
claimed in the case, and nothing
would be gained by the public by
extending the privilege. The de
muTrershOuld, therefore, beallOwed.
Mr.. Justice Lawson remarked that
such a privilege was never claimed
under the law of England. There
was time when eccleSiasticS were
not subject to our civil law, but that
had passed aWay.-LOnClOR Times.

CHURCH RULES FOR THE LADIES
JOE POT. JR.


Dress hard all morning, such is fate,
Then enter church some minutes late.
All eyes will then be turned toyou,
And will observe your bonnet new.
Let humble modesty wreathe your face,
And take your seat with faultleSs grace.
let all your thoughts be fixed on high,
And rearrange your cardinal tie.
Think how religions prone to bless,
And criticise your neighbor's dress.
Let all your heart be filled with praise,
And notice Mrs.Miggie's lace.
Put from your mind all thoughts of sin,
And re-adjust your diamond pin.
Think of how good religion proves,
And then smooth out your buttoneo
gloves.
Catch well the precepts as they fall,
And smooth the wrinkles in your shawl
Think of the sinners fearful fate,
and notice If your bOnnet's straight.
Pray for the influence divine
That lady's basque, mark the design
Let tender peace possess your mind,
And criticise that hat behind.
Reflect on christian graces dear,
And fix those curls behind your ear.
Let your heart warm with silent prayer,
And view that hOrrid green silk there.
Reflect upon the wicked's ways,
See if your gold chains out of place.
Think of the peace the good shall find,
And wonder who are sitting behind.
-r.s,,1- ~ a., t,,,s1 ans III, ,-ietfov,e feor
And notice those strange ladies there.
The last words hear with contrite heart,
And fix your pUll-baek when you start.

A CONSIDERATE MAN.-The last
joke at the expense of the French
Society for the Protection of Ami
mails is to the fOllOming effect:
n cOuntryman, armed with an
immense club, presents himself be-
fore the president Ofthe society, and
claims the first prize. He is asked
to describe the act of humanity on
which he POUNDS his claim.
Il have saved the life of wolff
replies the countryman. 81 might
easily have killed him with this
bludgeon," and he swings his weap-
on i'm the air, to the intense diScOm.
fort of the president.
"But where was this wolf ?' in.
quired the latter. "What had nc
done to you ?'
"He had just devoured my wife. .
was the reply.
The president reflects an instant
and then says:
"My friend, l am of the opinion
that you have been sufficiently re-
warded."

bordering on the MIRACULOUS.

A patent has just been granted to
Loring Pickering, one of the editors
and proprietors of the Evening Bull
letin and the Morning Call, newspa-
per of San Francisco, for q method
of rapid telegraphing of facsimiles
of stereotyped plates. 1t is claimed
that by this process an entire page
of a newspaper can be transmitted
by telegraph in from 10 to 30 min
utes, delivering the copy directly
from the instrument in such q form
that it can be handed Immediately
to printers. In other words, the
copy will be a substantial reproduce
ton Of the original, except that it
may be given in larger sized let
ter if so desired. The stereotype
plate requires no preparation for
the purpose of telegraphic transmits
sion, other than the filling of all its
depreSsiOns, or spaces between the
Quoting substance which may be
quickly applied. The faces of the
type being left clean by means of an
equally simple process. The plate
thus prepared is placed upon a cyl
Under arranged to revolve rapidly,
so as to present each successive let
ter to fingers attached to travelling
frame. AS the cylinder bearing the
plate revolves, the frame gradually
advances by the operation of a
screw and thus each and every line
is SUCCESSFULLY presented to the fin
gers or magnetic points already
mentioned. Necessarily the circuit
is open when the points are passing
over the nOn-cOnducting surface;
but as often as the metal type pre-
sents itself to said fingers the circuit
is closed, and the corresponding
magnetic points or pens at the re
ceiVing station make the record
there in the same letter as the Origi-
nal, delineated in a series of fine
lines, either upon chemically pre-
pared or ordinary paper, fixed upon
a corresponding cylinder at said re-
ceiving station.
