Few people are aware of the wonderful
progress that Art has made in this country
during the last quarter of II century. 1t is
but few decades since, that those who
desired to bcautGy and adorn their homes,
we're obliged to depend almost entirely on
foreign artists. But such a state of affairs
in this age of progress and improvement
could not last long with the great Ameri
can people. Genius from the east to the
west, from the north to the Gulf Of Mexico
on the south, answered the demand for
beauty, taste and refinement, and to-day
our leading artists are not surpassed by
the leading modern masters of Art in Eu-
rope.
Great Art publishing establishments
have sprung up, and by various processes
the finest and most expensive paintings
are reproduced in all their elegance and
beauty, and at price within the means of
masses. So that no one need be without
the refining influences of beautiful pictures
at home.
Among the progressive leading Art
Publishing firms of the country, We take
pleasure in mentioning George Stinson Il
he first in the business and we can only
understand the colossal proportions their
trade has assumed by remembering that
this is great and mighty Nation of nearly
ify million people. We cannot better
illustrate the magnitude Of their business
than to state the amount of money paid
by them for postage stamps in the year
1876; we have the figures direct from the
firm, or we should think there was some
mistake. They paid for postage stamps
during tho year 1876, thirty y-three thou.
sand one hundred and four dollars and
ninety-two cents (S33, lO499 and, in con
nection with this it should be remembered
that only the small orders were sent by
mail, the larger going bv express and
freight. George Stnson & Cos. agents
are to be found in every State in the Union
and Dominion of Canada, and in every
county with scarcely in exception.
Long since, this enterprising firm rec
ognized the value of printers ink judi
ciously used in advertising, and they in
form us that without it they could never
have extended their business as it is to-
day, in three times the number of years
A short time since they paid in a single
day twenty-lour thousand dollars (S24,.
900. OO) on contract for newspaper ad
vertising. They evidently long since
found the road to success and have turned
neither to the right nor the left. Three
things are necessary for eminent success
in business. First, standard goods thai
people generally need and desire let then
be the best, whatever the line of business
Second, let your prices be reasonabe-a'
low us possible. Third, let the people
know what you have, and what you car
do, by liberal and persistent advertising
4 and you will find low prices, made knowr
and proved will bring trade that will
give II larger income than can be made il
nnY other WAY.

In Russia, no one has u right to ap-
proach the Car on the streets, much less
to speak to him. If one should TO so, he
would be arrested. The Emperor Ncho-
las was in the habit of.walking out, and
often broke the law in spirit by speaking
to persons whom he Glanced to meet.
One day. while the Emperor was prone
nading before the large hotel of Morskos
street, he met an elegantly dressed young
gentleman, leisurely smoking his cigar
with the same unconcern rs if he was in II
Partisan cate. ,
The Emperor approached and saluled
him in military style. =.
1T appears that you are stranger, sir,
said he.
'How did you find that out?" said the
stranger.
"Becpuse YOU are smoking in the street,
which is forbidden by the police regua-
Lions."
"Thank you, sir" politely replied the
stranger. 81 always make 1T rule to
respect the laws of the countries which |

away his cigar

as you are walking with me, nobody viii

"Are YOU, then, great parsonage OF tho
Empirc?' said the stranger

peror.
Very happy to hear it, said tho
stranger. 81 understand that with inllu

" You cXaggeratc, sir said t7e En-
peror. " Certainly Il powerful protection
is good thing; hut we Russians like tt

this is attained only through some goo'
protector, of course"
Well, sir if that is the case, said thu
stranger. II will avail myself of your kin'
offer. came to Russia on business, ant
Il little protection would be most accepta

his business, putting his cigar all the time
and talking with the Emperor.
They We're walking in i'm elegant street
full of picture shops, and nearly all ha
pictures of the Emperor in their windows
The stranger did find some resembIanc
between them and his agreeable compan

Finally, seeing the respect shown by n

THE PASTORS REvERIE.

The pastor sits in his easy-chair,
With the Bible upon his knee,
From gold to purple the clouds in the west
Are changing momenlly;
The shadows life in the valleys below,
And hide in the curtains fold;
And the page grows dim whareon he reads,
al remember the days of old"
" Not clear nor dark" as the scripture saith,
The PASTORS memories arc
No day that is gone was shNdowlcss,
No night was without its star;
But mingled bitter and sweet hath been
The portion of his cup;
/" The hand that in love hath smiten," he saith,
q In love hath bound us up"
Fleet flies his thought over many field
OF stubble and snow and bloom,
And now it trips through festival,
And now it halts at a tomb;
Young aces smile in his reveric
OF THOSE that are young no more
And voices are heard that only come
With the winds from lar-OG shore.
IIe thinks of the day, when first, with fear
And lallering lips he stood
To speak in the sacred pl lcc the Word
To the waiting multitude:
lie walks again to the house Of God,
With the voice of joy and praise.
With many whose feet long time have pressed
Heavens safe and blessed ways.
lie enters again the homes Of toll,
And joins in the homely chat
He stands in the shop of the artisan;
He sits, where the Master sat,
At the poor mans fire and the rich mans feast
But who to-day are the poor,
And who arc the rich? Ask Him who keeps
Tho treasures that ever endure.
Ouce more the green and the grove rceound
With the merry children's din;
He hears their shout at the Christmas tide,
When Santa Claus stalks in.
Once more he lists while the cam fire toars
On the distant mountain side,
Or, proving apostloship, plies the brook
| where the fierce young trOullings hide.
And now he behols the welding train
To the altar slowly move
And the solemn words are said that seal
| IUC sdCl dlllCHJ vi luNt'
Anon at the font he meets once more
The trcmulous youthful pair,
With Il white-robed chelub growing response
To the consecratlng prayer.
by the couch of pain he kneels, again;
Again the thin hand lies
Cold in his palm, while the last far look
Steals into the steadlast eyes;
And now the burden of hearts that break
Lies heavy upon his own
The widows woe and the Orphans cry
And the desolate mothers moan.
So bliIhe and glad, so heavy and sad.
Are the days that are no more,
So mournIul sweet are the sounds that float
With the winds from dr-OG shore.
For the pastor has learned what meaneth the W.
That is given him to keep
Rejoice with them that do rejoice,
And weep with them that weep"
1t is not in vain that he has trod
This lonely and toilsome way,
1t is not in vain that he has wrought
In the vineyard all the day.
For the soul that gives is the soul that lives,
And bearing anothcl's load
Doth tighten your own, and shorten the way,
And brighten the homcward road.

and Immediately the whole place was illu-
minated by pale blue glare which fell
with ghastly effect on the awestricken
countenanccs around them, while in the
distance, apparently near the big gate,
arose succession OF the most frightlul
shreks ever heard or imagined. Then
the torch was applied to Mercy's frog, and
forthwith every nook and corner, every
leaf and every blade of grass, was bathed
in flood of blood-red light, while the
cries grew, if possible louder and tiercer.
Then came Nash's corn, which burned
with poisonous green glare, and flashed
its sickly light over the house and yard
and crowd of black faces and hardly had
this died away when from the direction of
the big gate there slowly asccnded what
appeared TO be blOod-red ball.

Rutherford, and we all stood gazing up in
to the heavens. till at length the thing
burst into flames the sparks died away

But Edward, said I, why did those three

Because they were calomel, my dear,

Well, but why did not the others turn

Because the others were tartarized anti

Where did you get what was in the
plates, that made the light, you know?
Rutherford had the material. He is 90

THE OLD BELL,

Ringing out upon The stiffness,
Peals the old, familiar bell
That so often asked an entrance
Into scenes loved lull well.
Memory now, with touch so skillfu,
Plays her sweet and tender note;
Happy school days, bright and blisstul,
On her music wavelets float.
And once more list 10 teachings
From mind with wisdom fraught;
Once again religious lessons
by the same dear lips Pm taught.
Merry jest and joyous laughter
Ring anew in music clear;
Spirits light e'ur dwelt within thee
Onr Old schOol-roOm, precious, dear.
But the earth, with bitter sorrow,
Filled the healts;that ightcst throbbed;
Sunny hopes aud aspiration
Crushed were soon-of brightness robbed.
Stl the lessons Learned while with thee
Teach us where tn look tor aid;
Faith there nurtured ever strengthen
Love and hope will ever fade.
Fen though earth bcstow her brightest,
will meier as happy be
AS in days when those teasurcd
pwelt with me, dear school, in thee
Other steps are cch0ing through thcC-
Hhou art now the strangers home,
But dear school, love will not yield thee
Thou't my own whcre'er roam.
o my happy htppy school-lays!
Gone from me forever morcl
Joys the lail csl, hopes the brightest,
Fled with thee-a glitteling store.
Other scenes may yet surround NE
Other friendships yet be mine!
But fond memory, like the ivy,
Round my school.days e'er will twine.
Tine my love can never weaken
Tney will meier less bright appear:
Only death the bond can sever
Schoo-iriends, school-rOom all so dear.

mere acquisition of information by his
pupils MS secondary thing The training
of the intellectual faculties is best secured
by the pure exercise of mind A COM
prehensiveneSs of grasp, clearness of
perception, u power of command Of
language, and readiness in expression, are,

A man may possess much information
and yet be wanting in the power of con-

of subject, and may lick delieacy of
taste and discernment. The end of edu-

WEBsTERs CoURTsHIp.-The following
has been related as the manner in which
Mr.. Webster became engaged to his low
inc and devoted wife. He saw her first
when he was lawyer at Portsmouth, and
she was Miss Grace Fletcher. At one OF
his visits he had, probably with II view OF
utility and enjoyment, been holding skelns
of silk thread for her, when suddenly he
stopped, saying
Grace, we have been engaged in unity
ing knots; let us see if we can tie q knot
which will not unite for life time.
He then took II piece of tape, and after
beginning knot of IL peculiar kind, gave
it to her to complete. This was the GER
emonv and ratification of their engage
mept. And in the little box marked by
him with the words precious documents,
containing the letters of his early court
ship, this unique memorial was found
the knot never united.
To the memory of the lady who won hi
earliest affection, who shared the trial
and the uiumphs of his early manhood
Mr.. Webster retained TO the end of life al
nnfaltering devotion. He could neve
speak of his first wife without visible
emotion. Grace Fletcher Webster was
person of very delicate organization, botl
physically and intellectually; yet she wa
energetic, and when occasion required sh
exhibited rare Gortitude. To her hus

AGE OF VEGETABLES.-The species of
vegetables we now cultivate have been
raised and eaten for centuries, Even be-
fore the Christian era many of them were
in use.
Lettuce has been used at the table for
thousands of years. llerodotus tells us
that it was served ut the royal table CEN
turics before the Christian era, and one of
the noble families of Rome derived its
name from this plant.
Spinach, asparagus, and celery have
been cultivated and eaten among the East
ern nation thousands of years. Jesus
took the mustard seed us the exponent OF a
parable, showing that it was esteemed
among the Jews.
Radishes were known and grown by the
Greeks, and were offered ut Apollo
shrine, wrought in precious metals.
Parsnips were raised and brought from
the Rhine to add to the luxuries of Tiber
ius' table
Bects were very highly esteemed cen
turtles ago, and carrots were in such re
putc in Queen Elizabeth S reign that TIN
ladies of her court adorned their hug
structures Of false hair with their feath
cry plumes.
Peas at Elizabcth's court, were yer.
rare, and were imported from Holland IL
II great deicacy
Fruits, also, were in great repute anon
the ancicnls.
The currant was cultivated centurle
AGO in European gardens and was calle
the Corinthian grape.
Evelyn, in his charming diary, speak
of his berries as Corinths; hence the nam
Of currants.
The damson plum WAS extensively Gu
tIvatcd at Damascus, whence its name.
The cherry came from Cosus, city
Ponlus, and the delicious peach, king
fruits, was first known in Persia
The ounce was n holy fruit, dedicate
to the goddess of love, and was calle
