Artistic Professions.

1t is generally believed 6y all who fol
low the artistic professions-painting
sculpture, music and bellies l%ettres-that
art contains some refining power; that
those possessed of artistic tastes are su.
perior to the CON mon herd, and that the
more they cultivate their talents the
nobler they become. Great musicians
have a thorough contempt for the unfor-
tunate imbecile who has no knowledge OF
counterpart, and no thirst for any such
knowledge. The artist experiences an
~unspeakable disgust whenever an ignor.
ant observer enters his studio. The
literary nan cannot speak too
seorpfully Of his o professional
critic Yet are these accomplished
peop'p really at heart any better than
the plow-boy who can scarce read his
primer2 or the milk-maid who has never
seen a fine painting nor heard an orato-
rio2 Only when genius aud talents and
accomplishments are glerifed by pure
and earnest religion are they grand and
ennobling; only when they are eonse.
Grated 10 a higher purpose than mere per.
sonal aggrandizement will they tend to
decrease evil and clear the moral atmos.
phere. 1t is true n poor individual unit
can do but little among a thousand, and
frequently these who fancy they are
doing the most are actually doing the
least, yet each can clear his own space.
Let him work as hard as he may at his
work, but never to the neglect Of small
social or home duties. The progress
made to the hurt of your friends, your.
self, or any human being upon whose
life your own character or disposition
may have a hearing, is an Injurious
progress. To stand on high with gar.
ments bedraggled from passing through
unclean by.ways,. It's a pitiful spectacle.

Sidewalk Manners.

THERE are, on the sidewalk, good
manners and bad manners-perhaps
more of the latter than the former.
Yet the offenders against sidewalk pro-
prieties are probably, most of them,
unaware of their own offenses. Some
OF the items that pertain to good man.
ners on the sidewalk may be indicated
by these rules: Move on about your
business; don't occupy more than your
fair share of the pavement; don't make
the mistake of supposing that side
walk is IS private place as your own
parlor, and just as fit place for retail
ing neighborhood' gossip; don't insist
on keeping the middle of the walk, and
don't turn out on the wrong side
which in this country is the left hand;
don't stand ON the sidewalk and hold
caucuses and conventions with your
friends-ladies are in this respect the
most frequent and serious offenders
against the good manners of the side
walk; party of three or four of them
will halt on the walk, occupying the
whole space from the curbstone to the
shop entr RANGES, and calmly hold fif-
teen-minutes conference without once
being aware, apparently, that any
other person would like to pass that
way. Don't throw orange and banana
rinds, or guilds of tobacco, on the side
walk, unless, perhaps, you are sur
geon's apprentice, and desire to make
business for the craft. There are other
points we might make, but they will
suggest themselves to the thoughtful
reader, and we may add, finally and
generally, please remember that the
sidewalk is the common property of all
pedestrians, and that there is no better
place for practically applying the
"golden rule" than the sidewalk

A. japanese Temple and its Services.

THIS temple is of very great dimen-
sions, and gives evidence of the great
popularity of the Buddhist faith. We
made our way through the pigeons that
covered the pavement without stepping
on any of them. and up a fight of stone
steps, followed by great crowd of in
quisitive people, and entered without
taking off our shoes. We stood before
the altar among the devout, whose
prayers had the Christian merit of
being short, though the suppliants
made no scruples of being seen of men.
There was little shower of copper
coins raining against the wire screen in
front of the shrine, which fell upon q
grating, and SO finally into Buddha's
pockets without doubt. The screen
was covered with pellets Of chewed
paper upon which the prayers had been
written. The god could after business
hours doubtless decipher the inscrip-
lions, and put the petition on file.
shere is small wooden figure of
Buddha accessible to the multitude,
and which may be considered the work
ing Buddha; he was surrounded by the
afflicted. If one suffered from headache
she rubbed the head very irreverently,
