Sympathy as a Sof tener of Law.

They allow very wide scope to SYM
patty, as sottener Of law,in France. The
case Of the Countess de Till recently
tried in Partisan court was EN- bellished
by an outpourlng Of popular feeling such
as would scarce have been possible in
other places. The countess was tried for
having disfgured the face of a young
laundress who had become the fayorite Of
the count, her husband. The girl was
handsone,and vain enough of her conquest
to tantalize the countess by boosting
that madam would not live long and
that upon her death she herself would
succeed to the tie. Madame lost pa
tience one day and discharged bottle of
vltriol full in her tormentor' 8 face detroy-
ing one eye and reducing the pretty tea
lures to a mass of wrinkled scars. When
the case came to trial the public took
part. The Jurors were publicly and pas
sionately admonished and entreated to ac-
quit her. The newspapers were unanl-
nous in her behalf. Her counsel shed
tears while making his argument, which
was based on wholly sympathetic grounds
The public prosecutor made merely q
perfunctory request for conviction, and
Immediately added plea for leniency.
The judge instructed the jury iu her favor
and the jury at once returned their YER

Oahu the volcanoes are older, and have
been extinct longer than those ON Molo.

agencies the rocks have been converted

feels himself obliged to task for dis

necessary to say. Dilapidated preaching.
dilapidated music, dllapidated congre-

PROM DAY TO DAY.

Only from day to day
The life Of q wiseman runs;
What matter if seasons far away
Have gloom or have double suns?
To. climb the unreal path
We miss the roadway here,
We swim the rivers of wrath
And tunnel the hills Of fear.
Our feet on the torrents brink
Our eyes on the clouds afar,
We fear the things We think
Instead Of the things that are,
Like q tide our work should rise
Each later-day the best,
Tomorrow forever flies,
To-day is the special test.
Like q sawyer's work is life
The present makes the flaw,
And the only field for strife
Is the niche before the saw.

Sod Houses.

On the prairies, far trsm the woods
where log cabins are impracticable, the
sod house is made as substitute. To
build one, . man goes on to the prairie
with his team and breaking plow, and
turns straight, smooth sod some three
or tour inches thick. This sod is very
tough. When sufficient has been turned
over, the sod is cut INTO squares and laid
up in wall as though it were fat stones.
Door frames and window frames are set
in as the wall rises. When the height of
one story is reached q small timber is set
up at each end and a ridge pole placed
upon them, and the sod wall built up or
into the gable. On this ridge there rest
smaller poles for rafters, and on these
sod is laid in courses, the courses over
tapping each other like shingles, $50
many inches to the weather. The only
money outlay is caused by windows and
doors. II we'll built, the house will
stand for years. Inside, one may
s'sweeten to taste" In the ruder huts
the walls are uncovered. In others
some are covered with cheap cloth. some
with building paper and wall paper
pasted over It, while some are plastered
and made az comfortable as any room
need to be. Once inside you would not
know but you were in a stone or brick
house. Then you will sometimes find
elegant furniture, the remains of bette,
days; sometimes piano and the skill
to play it; choice books, which indicate
literary tastes; the latest papers anc
magzines, which show that the inmates
keep up with the times. Indeed
it is surprising to know how many fam
lilies of refinement and cultured taste
being unfortunate, make fresh start il
life on the vast prairies.

Visit to a Pin Factory.

A correspondent of the Evening Post thus
describes the mysteries of pin machine
"The pin machine is one of the closest
approaches that mechanics have made to
the dexterity of the human hand. A
small machine about the size OF sewing
machine stands before you. On the left
side, hangs on peg a small reel Of wire,
that has been Strengthened by running
through system of steel rollers. This wire
descends, and the end of it enters the ma
chine. 1t pulls it in and bites it off by
inches, necessarily, one hundred and forty
bites to minute. just as it seizes each
bite, little hammer, with a coucave face,
hits the end of the wire three taps and
upsets it to head, while it grips it in
counter-sunk hole between its teeth. With
an outward thrust of its tongue, it then lays
the piu sidewise in little groove across the
rim of small wheel that slowly revolves
just under its nose. BY the external press
ure of stationary hoop, these pins roll in
their places as they are carried under two

files grow faer toward the end of the series.
They lie at slight inclination on the points
of the pins, and made to play like light
ming Thus the pins are pointed and drop
ped in little shower into box. Twenty
eight pounds of pins is days work for one
Of these little machines. These are then
polished. Two very intelligent machines
reject every crooked pin, even the slightest
irregularity being detected. Another ma
chine assorts half dozen lengths in a.
many different boxes, all at once and uner
ringly, when a careless operator has mixed
the contents of boxes from various ma
chimes Lastly, perfect genius of machine
hangs the pins by the head, in an inclined
platform through as many slots as there are
pins in a row on the papers. These slots
converge into the exact space spanning the
length of q row. Under them runs the strip
of pin paper. A hand-liks part of the ma
chine catches one pin from each of the slots
as it falls, aud by one movement sticks
them all through two ridges in the paper,
from which they are to be picked by taper
fingers in boudoirs, and all sorts Of human
fingers in all sorts of human circumstances.
Thus you have its genesis

Too True.


Henry Ward Beecher lately made the
following pungent remarks in regard to the
teaching profession: "There is no profes-
sion so exacting, none that breaks men down
80 early as that of faithful teaching; there
is no economy so penurious, and no policy
so iutolerably mean as that by which the
custodians Of public affairs screw down to
starvation-point the small wages of men and
women who are willing to devote their time
and strength to teaching the young. In
political movements thousands of dollars
can be squandered, but for the teaching OF
children of the people the cheapest teachers
must be had, and their pay must be reduced
whenever reduction OF expenses is neces
sary. II salaries ever should be ample, it
is in the profession of school-teaohing. II
there is one place where we ought to induce
people To make their profession life bust
ness, it is the teaching OF schools. Oh,
those who are to be taught are nothing but
children your children, my children, Gods
children, the sweetest and dearest and most
sacred ones in life. At the very age when

is the time when we put them into the hands

deeply distressed by the slightest frown Of

apathy, but one of far nobler sort Others
have aimed at the peace of levity, which the
world can readily understand. They count
1T one OF the wisest things TO drive dull care
away, and whatever happens of i'll, they
drown reflection in the flowing bowl, and
laugh over it-making mirth when misery
devours their souls. Christians do not at

fashion. The world, therefore, cannot un-

The Peace Of God.

What a wonderful description that is of
this peace,-it "passeth all understanding"
1t is not only beyond common understand
ing but it passeth all understanding. Some
have said It means that the ungodly man
cannot understand it that statement is true,
but it is not tithe of the whole meaning,
for even he who enjoys it cannot understand
it. 1t is deeper, it is broader, it is sweeter,
it is more heavenly, than the joyful saint
himself can tell. He enjoys what he can
not understand. What mercy that such
thing is possible, for otherwise our joys
would be narrow indeed Reason has limits
far narrower than Joy. Truly this peace is
hid from the eyes OF ths ungodly and the
unbelieving; 1t is far above, out of their
sigLt. Now, there are kinds OF peace in the
world which the ungodly man can under
stand There were the stoics, who schooled
themselves to apathy they would not feel,
and so they attained senseless peace their
secret is easily discovered, it does not pass
understanding. Many a red Indian has
been as stolid as the greatest stole and has,
perhaps, surpassed him In hardening him
self so that he would not groan if pierced
with arrows or burned with fires. Some
men have had such mastery over themselves
that it has seemed matter Of perfect indif-
ference whether they suffered pain or not.
But Christianity does not teach us stoicism,
nor does 1t point in that direction it oul-
tivates tenderness, and not insensibility. Its
influence tends to make US sensitive rather
than callcus, And it gives us peace consist
ent with the utmost delicacy OF feeling, yea,
with sensitiveness more intense than other
men know, since 1t makes Our conscience
