The old adage, that "Old things have pass ed away, and all things have become new," is being more fully verified in the present than in any preceding era of the worlds history. In the olden time the truths of the gospel were instilled into the minds of youth and age, by means of the Westminster Catechism. and sound sermons with such interesting and enlvenng themes as the doctrines of election, foreordination, predestination, free moral agency, and awards and punishments but now all is changed as an instance the fol- lowing:
 The good pc ,ple of Amenia, N. Y, realiz- ing need which has for some time been felt among all classes, of more entertaining manner of dispensing theological truth, have at last hit upon scheme which will undoubt- edly revolutionize the whole system of moral and religious instruction. Having procured an operatic rendition of the book of Esther, selections from it have been produced on sev- eral occasions ip the last few weeks, by the members of the several churches in tbat viii lage, with fine effect, and greatly to the moral | ed it's exhibition. This is certainly step in the progressive, and is indicative of new de- parture in church and Sunday Schools work. We shall realize the change here as well as in the larger places. Instead of the faithful Eli traversing our town with basket ofBibles on his arm, and trepidation In his heart, we shall have the irrepressible small boy posting hand bills and distributing programmes of the next religious entertainment. This combination of the pious with the historic will in time work marvellous changes in both. The Passion Play has wrought great work in this direc- tion Of course thls great change cannot be accomplished all at once, but the day is not far hence when we shall see such annaunce- ments as this: "Grand moral and dramatic entertainment in town tonight" ''The Feast of Pentecost with new and appropriate cos tunes, scenery, etc.," "Last appear.nce fo, the season of tht tt.e celebrated sherlocke Fami ly." Booth will doubtless appear as David Solomon, Daniel and other celebrated char acters, with Sarah Bernhardt as Eve, Ruth or Mary Magdalene. What could be mor, touching or beautiful than Lydia Thompson "Blondes' in the role of the ten virgins.
 The work of the clergy will of course be a an end, and this class will undoubtedly fur nish many talented performers. We car thlnk of nothing more fitting than the i'm personifcation fJudas Iscariot by the Rev T. Dewitt Talmage. There will doubtless be old fogles who will not receive the new order of things kindly at first, as there has always been hindrances to all great reforms but their opinion will have little weight witf those more advanced il enlightenment.
 How evident it must be to every thought full mind that this is indeed the age ofprogress

From mortal woe, from mortal strife. From pain to bliss, from death to life, The form we loved, has risen to be Encrowned with immortality"

Following this comes President Hayes

Of the Treasury Department during his

sage Secretary Sherman's review of the
history of specie resuIp ption. The Presi-
dent deyotes considerable attention to the
subject Of refundinR, but in this he merely
follows Secretary Shermsn's calls upon
Congress to take steps to refund tine
s6JO,000, 600 of bonds that fall due next
year and DIV ellis upon the fact that q better
time for refundiug could not be found than
now. The country is prosperous Bust
ness throughout the country is on a sound
basis, while there is great excess OF capt.
tai in business centres that would gladly
seek government loan in much lower
rate of interest than any of those now out
standing. The President does not men
ticn tho rate of interest that he would
advise in bond for refundne. There is
no reference to 65's at 81 or a 8 per
cent bond. He believes that the rate of
interest is matter for Congress to
arrange. There is no recommepda-
ton to Congress for the withdrawal or the
legal tender character of ereenbscks, nor
is there any recommendation for the stop

Hard Work I'm the London Times Office.

What impressed me strongly, says a cor
respondent of the Poilade lphia Times, was
the large amount of hard work and unremit-
ting attention bestowed Increasingly on the
Times by It's proprietors and editors.
Here Is an old paper, perhaps the best
established in the world. Every man on it
holding any responsible place is an expert
in the business, The experience Of some of
them is hereditary. Every employe on the
paper is of the highest grade OF SCHOLARSHIP %
or business training, but the managers and
editors are working as hard and closely as if
they were starting q new enterprise. Let
me give some facts:
the editors not coming down at all in the
daytime.
Mr.. Chenery, the editor, sees the first pa.
per off the press every night.
Mr.. Mcdonald, the managing publisher,
sees the whole edition off the press every
night.
The paper goes TO press at $3.50 o'clock
m but then the men know that from mid
night to O'Clock a. m. is the quarterback
in action of a morning paper, and they are

The dwelling of Mr.. Dslane, the late editor,
stood quite near the Office, between Printing
House square and the Temple. He, too, al
ways was on deck at night when the paper
went down.

Tea-Tasters I'm New York.
From the Medical Record.l

There are, says DR.. Dana, probably more
than hundred firms engaged in tea-tssting
in this city. In all of their offices there are
large tables with round revolving tops. A
circle of teacups is placed along the edge of
these. The tes-tsster sits down before the
display of crockery and tastes one cup after
another, moving the table top around. In
the center of the table is pair of scales
with silver half-dime in one of the bal
ances. One or two large kettles are kept
constantly with boiling water in them.
When sample of tea is to be tasted, as
much is weighed out as will bslancethe half
dime. This is put in a teacup and the boil
ing water poured on the leaves. The tea
faster then stirs up the leaves, lifts them on
his spoon, and inhales the aroma. AT the
same time he generally takes u sip of the in
fusion, holds it in his mouth for short time,
and then splits it out. Enormous brass cuspa-
dores, holding two or three gallons, receive
the tea thus tasted and the contents of the
cups that have been examined. On some
occasions, when large amount of tea of q
certain kind is to be bought, many samples
ofths are bought in from different houses.
The buyers and sellers sit around the re-
