Antiquity of Steel.

The invention of steel is of great an
tiquity, as the Eastern sword-blades.
especially those of Damascus, attest. A

and then forging what remained into
swords and other sharp instruments. A

in silence. He raised his wings and
strutted around, cackling all the time.

May the blessing OF God attend You,
A. down life's stream you go
The weight Of care, once 30 heavy,
Again may you never know.
May the clouds that loom up darkly
Above your fair young head
Pass away, and the SUMS rays brightly
Il.umine your pathway instead.
May roses boom again on your cheek,
That the hand OF disease turned pale;
May earthly joys be replete,
And friendships never fail.

And you cross deaths narrow tide,
May the angel swing open the golden door,
And bear you 10 Jesus dear side.

A GRAND PAGEANT.
fhc Knights Ecmpiar Parade I'm Z HE
cagO---A Magnificent Spectacle.

From Chicago paper we CLEAN the following
graphic description OF the Knights Templar pa
radc in that city:
At o'clock it seemed as il every living thing
within the city was moving on the line Of route,
lut especially on Michigan and Wabash avenues
rom Twenty-irst street north. Every house
sent forth its contingent, and the enormous
dense, surging ranks of the populace stretched
along the sidewalks 80 overwhelmingly that a
quick step was impossible to the most active Of
mortals. Soon, indeed, even The sidewalks
would not, or could not hold tnem They in
vaded the roadways, and not all threatenings
and imprecations of the stalwart peeer on foot
could move them half an inch from their
ground. They held on like bulldogs. The
American monarch, his wife and royal rspubli-'
can family were on their dignity. and insisted
OH what they conceived to be their full rights
This was all very well during the earlier part
of the proceedings, as the procession was, in
evtably, about an hour late in starting. This
enabled every person who desired to be a spec
tator to take up some kind of position. Some
adhered obstinately to the sidewalks. Some
hung half way ont of windows Some climbed
the trees and telegraph poles. Every stoop
was garrisoned to repletion. Housetops were
crowded with boys and girls who defed the
ardent sun, as, emancipated from vaporish
thralldom, he made the best use Of his oppor-
tunity and seemed resolved on converting all
humanity within his reach to roast meat. Small
boys distinguished themselves by getting
astride of lamp-posts. They hung like squir-
rels from frail branches, and escaped with their
lives as none but small boy can escape
Compared with tins wonderful turnout, all
the other demonstrations were dwarfed of their
fair proportions. Even the reception of Grant
seemed like drop in the bucket. To anyone
who could see the great vista Of the avenues,
for an immense distance filled in almost every
part with people, the sight put in the back
ground every event that has gone before. 1t
was the Valley of Jehosophat, without the goats
or the Judgment.
The hour preceding the grand m lister was
filed with the preparatory notes Of the display.
Drums ratified on highway and byway. Bugles
rang out clearly; and - the flashing blade" and

The Trick m are.
VNh T-.I

On one occasion we were preparing for
our promenade through the streets, when
a kind Of "hanger-on" to our company,
who, through his invariable politeness Of
manner, had been nick-named "Sweet
William" was reputeG to ride highly
trained black mare, one of whose tricks
consisted in undoing her girths with her
teeth and removing her saddle. Sweet
William was the last to leave the stable,
the Others having passed out before he
had mounted. Suddenly loud cries of
"Murderl" were heard to proceed from
the stable, and I shouted out as went
toward the spot: "What's the matter7

haste-the mares got hold OF my toep
And sure enough found the man on
the mares back, writhing and twisting
about, his face describing the most pain
full contortions and his toe in the mares
mouthl The more he struggled, the
harder she pulled at what, through some
misadventure, she mistook for the girth-
strap. Perhaps. also, she mistook his
shouts for the vociferous cheers Of a
pleased audience, and thought 1t was
"all right" and at it again she went with
redoubled vigor. BY some means he
must have made some slight movement
which the mare thought to be her signal
to perform the trick, and went to work
accordingly. However, the man was
speedily released from lis awkward pre-
dcament, and the cavalcade proceeded
on its way, but it was long time before
the incident ceased to excite good-na-
tured laugh at the expense OF Sweet
William.

A Monster Crab.
TJapan Gazette.

A few days ago some japanese fisher.
men at Cape Idzu captured an immense
crab in net. They brought it to Yoko-
hama and it was purchased from them
by Mr.. Pagdon, whose premises have
been besieged the whole of to-day by per.
sons anxious to see the sea monster. The
front pair of legs Of this crab measure
twelve feet from tip to tip, and are dou-
ble-jointed; the other eight are much
smaller. From the front to the back of
the carapax the animal measures sixteen
inches, and across the carapax twelve
inches. In 1871 very large crab was
caught and brought to Yokohama, but
since that time until the present we be-
lieve. that none of extraordinary size
have been captured. The largest speci-
men of crab known is in the British
Museum and measures eighteen feet
from the tip Of one claw to the Tip of an.
other.

The dark, gloomy night settled down
upon the ocean, and the terror-stricken
emigrants crowded together in dismay
and confusion. Then came q terrible
crash, and with the cry of The rocks!
the rocksP ring wildly through the ship,
the waves poured over them, and so
they all perished together. s
"The morning dawned. Along the
the shore many cold, stifiened forms were
lying, and among them, clinging with q
a death-clasp to each other, they found
the parents of poor Louisa.
"The dreadful tidings reached the or.
phan just as her hopes and expectations,
raised to their highest point, seemed
about to be realized. The shock, so sud-
den and awful, produced brain-fever.
Weeks of suffering followed, and when
at last the fever had left her, her reason
was gone. From this time she was a
poor, insane wanderer. She roves from
place to place, sometimes looking far OF
upon the ocean as though expecting to
see ship from the fatherland, and some,
times singing broken strains OF the village
songs of the Rhine.

Glazing.
IMacmlllan's Magazine, I


Glazing is the putting one color over
another instead of mixing them. We
will suppose you want to produce very
bright violet; you will find that you can
only do this by glazing the blue over the
lake when dry. If you mix the two
first, the violet will not be nearly so
luminous and bright. I believe it was
discovered by the great masters of the
Venetian school that this. system of
glazing was important, not only to secure
brilliancy, but to insure permanence;
chemical changes are apt to take place if
colors are too much mixed. I don't
deny that it is much more diff
cult to obtain given tint by glazing
several colors over each other
than by mixing them first, and getting
the tint on the paper at once; but prac-
tice makes perfect, and ! believe that a
sketch from nature will often lack fresh
ness and brilliancy if all glazing is ig-
nored. Let us apply the system to fields
or distant sunny slopes, or masses Of
trees in sunshine. What I mean is that
you ought not to paint them positive
green all at once. 1t is better to put the
green, which by itself does not convey
the idea of sunshine, over warm colors.
| may give another example some cold
colored stones, or buildings, or let us take
a slate roof. If you try to match the
color at once, you will not get it to look
nearly SO sunny as if you paint first with
pink and yellow, and then glaze with
blue or gray, adding soupcon of white
paint. ~
