whose love and will is Godward goes to
the embrace of Christ. He whose love is
earthly and selfish, devilish, gravitates
bellward. As the tree falls 80 it lies.
We love in the next world what we love

This being the case, the condition of the
impenitent dead is hopeless. The men

desnised reproof must be thought OF as

The manufacture of buttons is largely
carried on at Bethel and Gaysville, Vt.
The material used is the vegetable ivory,
which is an exceedingly hard, tines
grained nut, grown in the 1sthmus Of
Panama. It is about the size of the
average hens egg, and, after the burr
and she'll are split of, it is white and
solid. It is split, by circular saw, into
several pieces, from each cf which dits
ferentrsized buttons are turned by ma
chimes, which pare both sides at once.

| "A Capucbin friar in Turin has con.
structed large and complicated work of
mechanism by which the passion and
suferings of the Savior, from His con.
demnation before Herod to His death on
the cross, are marvelously represented.
Ona constantly receding platform the
figures appear and the scenes change.
Not only are the movements of the
automata life-like, but the figures and
scenery are masterpieces of art. The
crowd clamoring for His death is repre- /.
sented by very numerous group OF
figures, which are wonderfully distinct
in action and appearance. The falling
beneath the weight of the cross on the
way to Calvary is painfully graphic. To
render quite audible the lashiDg of the
soldiers is one of the functions of the
machinery. The scenes at the place OF
execution and the death of the Savior
are said to be beyond praise, and writer
in Turin paper declares that the extra
ordinary mechanism has but one imper-
fection-the capacity of making the bg- !.
ures articulate intelIigibly. This imper'
fection is chiefly evident when the words
are exchanged between the Redeeper
and the penitent thief. The souaas
emitted from the figures are in this In
stance lud;crous; but the friar hopes 10
remedy this defect, and his mechanism
will, in all likelihood, be an object OF
wonder at the Paris exhibition.
