TENN, JANUARY "a, 1878.

Philip asked, his face darkening in
spite Of him.
"She is living with her own mother
as lady's companion. Her mother is
the widow Of Lord Tulliyer. They are
fond Of each other, but they do not
guess the truth. They are at Tulliyer
Park in Yorkshire now"
Such was the substance of Carlos
story, emitting the many interruptions,
the long pauses, caused by his weak
and dying condition.
He died the next day. But be lived
long enough to complete and attest by
solemn oath, all these statements, as
well as to tell where other witnesses
to their truth might be found.
Philip lost no time in seeking his lost
love, and brought her back to Fanshawe
Hall as his wife, with as little delay as
possible.
Madame, his mother, was very glad
to see her.
81 always liked you, my dear. You
know was as fond of you as | could be
till Philip wanted to marry you," she
said coolly to Idele. ''But | had fol-
lowed you to the summer-house that
night, and Cock Robin was not the only
listener there. wonder if that wretch
would have killed me if he had found
me. | believed him when he said he
was your father, and you know | could
not let Philip marry the daughter Of a
man like that-a murderer, too"

Wen Put.

The New York GraBhs says: Many
papers are terribly alarmed lest silver
is about to become so plenty that il will
not be worth anything. The amount OF
silver mined annually il represented as
"enormous." Let US 90 to the figures +:
There il, we will say, in round num-
bers, So. .OOO, ,OOO, 900 worth of silver in
the world; of this, 81 500, 900, 900 worth
or nearly half-is in money. The an
nual product Of silver, for the last
twenty-eight years, has been only about
sec, ,OOO, 900 a year. This is just one per
cent. Of the total amount on hand-and
this can scarcely be thought too much
to keep pace with the increase Of popu-
latiOn in the world and 10 Offset the
constant wear and loss. Now look at
gold. The total amount in the world
is not far from 1900, 600 600 worth
twO-thirds as much as the silver in val
ne. But during the last twenty-eight
years the vast sum Of sl2O, ,OOO, 600 worth
has been added to il annually, or three
per cent. of the whole amount-doub-
ling ii In thirty-three years. This
shows that gold increases more than
twice as fast as silver, and that il is sill
yer, not gold, that is the conservative
metal; and gold. not silver, that Is fe-
verish, capriciOus, and untrustworthy.

The Washington Monument.

Mr.. W. W. Story was before the Sem
ate Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds at Washington recently, and
gave his opinion of the Washington
monument. Among other things which
he said regarding it was the following:
Ny notion was that you might decorate
it by bring out the corners so as TO give
relief with pilasters in the Renaissance
style; 10 make lofty tower instead Of
an Obelisk, for the declension Of line is
very slight indeed, and could very easi-
ly be obviated; then, to lift it out at the
top; matriculate it; carry it up into q
double cone or spire, above which could
also be decorated, the entablature to be
covered with any decoration you might
choOse-whether historical, ideal, or
representative and then at the base to
construct large porch or Out-jutting
portion of considerable extent with en-
tablature: there make an arch and
therein plant colossal statue of Wash
ingtOn. That is the only mode in which
| see that this monument could be rem
dered beautiful and effective. Failing
to do this the only other thing which
remains is the destruction of this mOnu-
ment and the rearing of totally differ
ent monument out of the materials of
this. The most beautiful thing that
could be made, said this artist, would
be magnificent canopy, either of the
Renaissance er Gothic style, enriched
by entablature and supported by col
umns; a dado or pedestal in the centre;
on top of that a colossal figure of Wash
ington, and the base of that decorated
with alto reliero figures, representative
of all the great men of the Revolution
and of subsequent time. By that means
there might be procession of magnifi-
cent statues going all about the base,
which in themselves would be exceed
ingly interesting, if well done. Then
again, the statue of Washington would
he within the proper angle of vision.
You would be looking at it as you ap-
preached it, just as it should be seen.
With this canopy over the whole it
would be protected from the weather.
1t might be made in marble or other
stone, but would look best in marble.
Mr.. Story thinks that the site of the
present monument is not the best that
could be selected.

were, for they saw how the authors Of
dictionaries themselves had fiOundered
before they could get to the truth. For
example, If they looked In DR.. William
Smiths Dictionary Of the Bible, for
ARK" they would find "see Deluge," 4"
and then referring to deluge they found
"see Flood" and going to flood they
found "see Noah" and when they got
to Noah the whole subject Of the deluge
had TO be treated. Again, as they went
through London or elsewhere il was
very instructive to ask always what
was the meaning Of the name Of the
place where they happened TO be; he
always did. To take the place where
they were at that mOment-John street,
Adelphi, Strand. What did that mean I:
Some Of them, Of course, knew. Any
one knowing Greek knew that Adelphi
meant brothers; but why was 1t called
brothers? IL was because there were
four brothers named Adam, who came
from Kirkcaldy. These brothers were
great architects, and they determined TO
rescue the part OF London where they
were at that moment from the mud OF
the Thames; they were, in fact, the
founders Of the Embarkment. They
were named Robert, William, James
and John, and these streets were called
after them, and would continue mem
Orial Of their energy and how they kept
together by their strong brotherly af-
fection. As they went along the Strand
and looked at the names of the streets
from side to side, it revealed to them at
once the connection Of all the great
English families, the streets, as they
now are being called after the names Of
the ancient nobility who lived there.
The names of the streets recalled the
history of England. There were two
things which ought to be preserved as
much as possible in London-the names
Of the streets, and if possible, the few
remains there were Of ancient architec-
ture.
Socrates often asks the question,
"Whst are you, yourself;" and the
Dean suggested it to his audience.
Another question proposed to them
was, "What shonld l do in particular
emergency;" Everybody had pecu-
liar self, and the question was, what
would that particular self enable one
to dof The Dean was inclined to think
that newspapers and politicians asked
too many questions. 1--WE have no opin-
ion Of our own" they say; whatever
you say, We will do, but don't expect
US tohave convictions" He thought
that this was mot a satisfactory way of
carrying on business

There VIII be Rest.

All day long the farmer may stand
between his plow-handles, turning the
yielding soil; may endure the burden
and heat Of the day: may be burned
by the scorching rays OF the sun, or be
drenched by sudden showers, but by
and by the sun furls his banner of light,
the birds cease their singing and fy
| home TO their nests; the eyentide has
co4e, and tired man and weary beast
fina rest. All day long the smith may
ply his BANNER while huge drops of
perspiratiOn roll down his smoke-be-
grimed brow. He belongs to the class
that must toll for their daily bread, and
work with him has become second na-
ture. He likes the music of his bel
lows and clink Of his hammer, and as
the huge sparks fall of from the red
hot iron he can almost imagine he is
Jove forging thunderbolts and revel-
ing in the forked lightnings as they
wreath and twine around him. But as
the sun goes down in the west, he lays
by his leather apron, and washes the
SCOT and smoke from his face, and goes
home to enjoy the society Of his family.
For him there has come rest at the even
tide.
All day the patient mother may toll
for her little ones, sympathizing with
them in their childish sorrows, calming
their fears and soothing their pains,
until she is worn out soul and body;
but as night approaches slesp touches
their eyelids with its magic wand-and
for weary mother and tired children
there has come the rest at eventide.
And for us all there will come rest at
eventide, it matters not what our Occu-
patton may be, nor where our footsteps
roam. Life with its pitiful joys and
bitter experiences, its feverish dreams
and empty ambitions, its hopes and
fears, its loves and hates, will be ended
after awhile. As we grow older our
trust diminishes, as one by one our
friends fail us and our expectations are
cut off, the apples of Hesperides turn to
dead sea fruit within our grasp, and the
idols, We all, at times, so wildly wor-
ship, lie shattered at our feet. Oh, the
follies and vanities Of life; the lessons
we have to learn and unlearn; no
wonder We grow weary, many of MS,
long before the end of the journey is
reached. But all we can do is TO pos
sess our souls in patience, and press
forward to the mark for the prize.

The Place Where the SUI Jumps Day.

Chatham Island, lying off the coast
of New Zealand, in the South Pacific
Ocean, is peculiarly situated, as it is
one of the habitable parts Of the globe
where the day of the week changes. 1t
is just in the line Of demarkation be-
tween dates. There, at high twelve
Sunday noon ceases, and instantly Mon
day meridian begins. Sunday comes
into a mans house on the east side,
and becomes MOpday by the time 1t
passes out the western door. A man
sits down to his MONDAY dinner on
Sunday, and it is Monday noon before
he finishes it. There Saturday is Sun
day, and Sunday Is Monday, and Mon
day becomes suddenly transferred into
Tuesday. 1t is good place for people
who have lost much time, for, by tax
ing an early start, they can always get
day ahead on Chatham Island. 1t
took philosophers and geographers a
long time to settle the puzzle Of where
Sunday noon ceased and Monday noon
began, with man travelling west fif-
teen degrees an hour, or with the sun.
1t is to be hoped that the next English
Arctic Expedition will settle the other
mooted question; "Where will one stop
who travels northwest continually. ~
