Diversity of Gifts, but One Spirit.

THERE are hearts which, having learned
to love God and man, would pass into the
highways, and even journey over all coun-
tries, calling together thousands of men,
women and children, to urge them to fly
like doves to the great windows of Para
disc. They are not fanatics, nor deceiv-
ers, but hearts whose religion has as
sumed an ambition like that of Alexan-
der to conquer q world, but to conquer it
not by sword, but by tears. In the SIM
plicity and zeal of their nature, they will
tell you that if you love Christ you also
will walk up and down the streets invit-
ing each man in his place of business to
come to their Savior-that you will also
move out against wicked world. But
this comes from the error of suppOsing
that human nature is always simple i'm
pulse. Alongside the Alexanders of the
earth who have desired to wave q flag over
continents have lived many who have
loved to wave their humble banner only
over home. Where tine family meets in
friendship, there the world terminates.
The sun rises for the vines and dOor-sill of
that cottage; it goes down that the weary
children may sleep. Christianity having
come to such heart, it will not make of
him q wandering evangelist, but it will
adapt itself to the home passion, and be-
come deeper piety in the bosom of the
father and mother, or will express itself in
mutual kindness and in the family hymn
and prayer. What would become of our
homes, our arts, our sciences, our law,
our infinite industry, if each Christian
should become an active evangelist? But
the question of results is excluded by the
question of fact. Nature has forbidden

CASTLES IN SPAIN.

How MUCH of my young heart, o Spain,
Went out to thee in days of yore!
What dreams romantic filled my brain,
And summoned back to life again
The Paladins of Charlemain,
The Cid Campeador!
And shapes more shadowy than thsse,
In the dim twilight half revealed:
FhGnician galleys on the seaa,
The Roman camps like hives of bees,
The Goth uplifting from his knees
Pelayo on his shield.
1t was these memories perchance,
From annals of remotest ED,
That lent the colors of romance
To every trivial circumstance,
And changed the form and countenance
Of all that beheld.
Old towns. whose history lies hid
In monkish chronicle or rhyme
Burgos, the birthplace of the Cid,
Zamora and Valladolid,
Toledo. built and walled amid
The wars of Wamba's time;
The long. straight line Of the highway,
The distant town that seems SO near,
The peasants in the field, that stay
Their toll to cross themselves and pray,
When from the belfry at midday
The Angelus they hear;
The crosses in the mountain pass,
Mules gay with tassels, the lOudd din
OF muleteers, the tethered ass
That crops the dusty, wayside grass.
And cavaliers with spurs of brass
Alighting at the inn;
White hamlets hidden in fields of wheat,
White cities slumbering by the ga,
White sunshine flooding square and street,
Dark mountain ranges, at whose feet
The river-beds are dry with heat,
All was a dream to me.
Yet something somber and severe
Ger the enchanted landscape reigned;
\ terror in the atmosphere
As if King Philip listened near,
Or Torquemada, the austere,
His ghostly sway maintained.
The softer Andalusian skies
Dispelled the sadness and the gloom;
There Cadiz by the seaside lies,
And Sevilles Orange-orchards rise,
Making the land a paradise
Of beauty and of bloom.
There Corlova is hidden among
The palm. the olive and the vine;
Gem of the South, by poets sung,
Aud in whose Mosque Almanzor hung
As lamps the bells that once had rung
At Compostella's shrine.
But over all the rest supreme,
The star of stars, the cynosure,
The artists and the poets theme,
The young mans vision, the old mans dream
Granada by its winding stream,
The city Of the Moor!
And there the Alhambra still recalls
Aladdins palace of delight:
Allah il Allah! through its halls
Whispers the fountain rs it falls;
The Darro darts beneath its walls,
The hills with snow are white.
All yes, the hills are white with snow,
And cold with blasts that bite and freeze;
But in the happy vale below
The orange and pomegranate grow,
And watts of air toss to and fro
The blossoming almond trees.
The Vega cleft by the Xenil,
The fascination and allure
OF the sweet landscape chain the will.
The traveller fingers on the hill,
His parted lips are breathing still
The last sigh of the Moor.
How like ruin overgrown
With flowers that hide the rents of time
Stands now the Past that have known;
Castles in Spain, not built of stone,
But of white summer cloud, and blown
Into this little mist of rhyme!

had been raised, and he had moved into
better lodgings. Perhaps if he had
sought to renew his intimacy with the
Derrys, he might not have been repulsed,
but he was now q sadder and a wiser
man. The sense of loss had never en-.
tirely left him; nor had he as yet found
anyone who could be what Fanny had
been. No tidings Of her had ever come

heard his name.
| One day it happened that William Parr
was dispatched to London to transact
some business for his employer. It was

sunshiny, and when he arrived at the
great metropolitan station it wanted an
hour to noon. Among the numbers wait
ing ON the platform, one figure attracted
Williams eye at once. It was that Of .
lady, richly Idressed in velvet and sable,
who was evidently looking out eagerly
for some one in the train. As she caught
glimpse of the face she was watching
for, her own frightened and flushed in q
way that William we'll remembered.
just so had she greeted him, when he had
been wont to pay his evening visits to the
little house in George street, long ago.

"Fanny-Miss Kennaway," he said,

She gave very slight start; for an in.

frankly extended her hand.

speaker was a dashing young fellow, son

After George street, and Fanny's little
work.rOOm, it was no wonder, perhaps,
that Gloucester Lodge seemed almost an
earthly Paradise. Julia Derry, the young

posed to be very gracious to William.
She wore plenty of jewelry, and her CO.'S
tune was made in the latest style. After
supper she sang and played several FASH

side her to turn over the music leaves. It
was very pleasant, he thought, to see

Beside attempting to protect the
Supreme Court from further assaults
on the ground that its members are
partisans, the President should try
TO rectify the present unfair geogra-
phical distribution of the Judges.
Since 1860 the appointments have
all been made from the Northern
States. The West has had a very
disproportlonate share. Ohio has
two members of the court. and until
Judge Davis resigned, Illinois and
Iowa had two more. and in the East
q Judge in New Jersey is wedged
in between one in New York and
one in Pennsylvania. while the six
teen Southern States have none.
The existing vacancy and the next
two ought to be filed by the appoint
ment of Southern jurists. if men can
be found of sufficient character and
professional eminence. The South
ern States would then have one-third
OF the Judges, and the other twenty
two the remaining two-thirds, which
would be fair distribution consid
ering the greater amount Of Judicial
business in the North. Justice
Bradley does circuit duty in the
Gulf States. but it is a great deal
better that circuit duty be done by
Judges residing in the same part OF
the country. The reason is not
merely that they are more accessible.
and can attend the the circuit with
less incOnveience, but they are con-
stantly called to administer State
laws. A citizen of louisiana, suing
q citizen Of Alabama on contract
made in the former State. asks a
United States court to administer
the laws of Louisiana. and Judges
are likely to be better acquainted
with the laws Of neig hboring than Of
distant States.

The Tribune, in summarizing the
news from the Russo-Turkish war

the two armies in Bulgaria and the

They have lost fearfully in men,

one night not long ago, and during the
services some b1Ss put parcel of peb-

thus: "John weighs something over two
hundred pounds, and when he settled in

right up in the air and waved his tail
around like bunch of chawed rope,
and kicked every way for Sunday.
John crawled over his head and Jared

Secretary Schurz announces his inten.
ton to have thorough investigation
into the origin of the fire at the Patent
Office. Grave apprehensions are enter
tanned that it was not accidental.
Some circumstances seem to indicate
that it was not. It is known that the
investigation of the Indian Bureau,
which has been going on for some
months, has uEearthed transactions
whose records, if brought to light, will
ruin the participants. 1t is known that
parties implicated in some of the Great
Western land steals are being hard
pressed by the investigation which
Schurz is pressing. and are naturally
anxious to have the record of their
transactions got out of the way. The
fire started suspiciously near the re-
cords of the Land Office and the Indian
Bureau. 1t started in a room next to a
store-r0om. to which, according to the
testimony of one official, large quanti-
ties of files were removed only two or
three days ago.

great show of the world will visit our
city in October Thus forming Levia-
than Consolidation of amusement won
ders, to be found only with this great
show. During the winter season Mr..
w. w. Cole, the sole proprietor, has
added many new and attractive features
to his magnificent and ever popular en-
tertainment with view to eclipse all
former attempts, and to place before the
generous public, new, novel, interesting
and instructive features for the benefit
of his many friends and patrons. An
entire new Circus Company has been en-
gagged with this view alone. Among
them are the very best performers in
this and the old world. Very many of
which have been engaged by Mr.. Cole
through his European agents for the
present season, thereby giving to tn
public something new, wonderful and
sensational in the arenic department.
During the months of FEBRUARY and
March, at Memphis, Tenn, thirty-ave
thousand dollars has been expended in
the general reftting and equipping of this
vast establishment. Also over one hun
dred thousand dollars worth of new at
fractions of the animal kingdom, many
of which have never been upon exhibit

insure to him crowded audiences at
every place where they pitch their
tents.
