illusions if pregnant with disclosures disastrous
TO the reputation of Liberal statesmen. Altogether,
curiosity high strung. and it reached its highest
pitch when Lord Lytton put down notice on the
paper to call attention to the affairs of India and
make personal statement as to his viceroyalty:
Lord Lytton has lived so much abroad as pro-
fessionsl dipomatist must, that there was even
some curiosity about his personal appearance When
he rose last night all eyes and a good many opera
classes were bent on him; and he had to undergo
the inspection of full galleries, where sat and stood
an array nots only of the general public but of
peeresses and their friends. The bar was
thronged and 90 were the steps Of the throne.
What we saw was man who looked about forty,
rather understood with face about which clus-
tered and cured full. dark locks and beard and
mustache; of features sufficiently regular; well
bred, one would say and with marks of culture and
amiabe traits, but not hint of anything that re-
sembled force or decision of character. 1t was his
first speech but he showed no want of sefp0ssession
or scf-confdencs. His voice is little hollow, but
not unpleasne; his manner so elaborate as to seem
theatricai; and his conventional appeal for the
indulgence. always accorded to novice be-
trayed convection that he really had no
need OF 1t. You conld see at once
that Lord Lytton anticipated success. He Ger.
tainly spoke unusually we'll for an nnpractiscd or-
tor; with. however, too much artifice of style as
well as OF department. The House of Lords likes
simplicity, directness; aud though Lord Beacons-
held Is just now the idol of the majority. they still
prefer that other members of their body should bs
sincere. Lord Lytton is so far from being simple
that most Of his bearers thought him STACEY. He
disappointed everybody by his evasion of the main
point on which they had come to hear him. His
sincerity y not thing ons likes to call in ques-
ton, but it must bessaid that ii did not make
itself strongly felt; not even when he

Falling Stars.

| Astronomers divide meteors into sew
| eral classes-aerial meteors, as winds,
| tornadoes, ETC.; aqueous meteors, as
fogs rain, snow, hail, ETC.; luminous
meteors, or those due to the action of
the elements in the air, as rainbows,
halos, parhelias, mirages, etc; cleo
trical meteors, as lightnings, auroras,
etc. and igneous meteors, as shooting
or falling stars, star-showers, bolides or
fire balls, aerolites or neteorites, etc.
In present usage, says Professor New
ton. the term meteor is generally
limited to the last group, or to the
igneous meteors. The meteorites are
all evidently fragments, not separate
formations. They are, says the same
authority, in the heavens, to some ex
tent, at least, grouped in streams along
the orbits of known comets, and hence
have a common origin with them. The
continuity of these streams, the double
and multiple character of Biela's and
other comets, and the steady dimin-
ution of comets in brilliancy of success
i've returns, seems to argue continuous
breaking up of the comet into frag-
ments by some cause, probably by the
suns heat. This view is strengthened
by the fact that the meteoric irons and
stones bring with them carbonic acid,
which is known to form so prominent a
part of the comets tail. 1t is now uni
versally admitted that igneous motors
are caused by small bodies which have
been travelling about the sun in their
orbits, but now come into the earth's
atmosphere, and, in general, the shape Of
broken fragments Of stone. The outside
is usually covered with thin black crust,
which is evidently due to q melting of
the surface in the atmosphere. There
have been found at various times and
places loose iron masses that are as
sumed to be of meteoric origin, because
their peculiar form, their peculiar
chemical composition and their peculiar
crystalline structure are like those of
the iron masses that have been seen IN
several instances to come down from
meteors. Shooting stars are seen on
any clear, moonlight night; they leave
behind, many Of them, bright cloud OF
phosphorescent light; the meteors and
their trains have various colors- Whlte,
green, blue, yellow, scarlet, etc.; the
duration of the flight is generally less
than second of time, but the brighter
ones may last several seconds. The
meteorites contain no elements, SO lar
as we know, which have not been found
on the earth, but these elements are
compounded differently from any ter
restrial minerals; sometimes they
reach the earth, and again are consumed
in their course.

The Wine Press in Hungary.

I had had dim ideas of snowy gar
ments dyed purple with the juice Of
grapes, and the delicate feet of girls
treading the luscious fruit under the
shade of vine-clad trellises in the open
air. In my imagination there were
fountains of pure wafer washing away
all stains and impurities, and long pro-
cessions of men and maidens bearing the
fruit on their heads, all decked with
flowers, and singing and dancing to
the sound of harps and flutes. Had
not seen pictures to that effect, read
poetical descriptions of it, and had /
not always been encouraged by my
childhood's instructors in this delusion?
And now, behold, there were not any
snowy garments at all; the Hungarians
had on coarse shirts and loose drawers
tucked above the knee, and [ came to
the conclusion that they had never seen
any fountains of pure water, and
wouldn't have known the use of them if
they had. For there was kind of grim
ness about them, burned in by the sun,
which, seemed to Indicate that they
never washed either themselves or their
clothes. In fact, they had fine con-
tempt for the ordinary rules of cleanli-
ness. One black-eyed, purple-legged
fellow, with the grape juice just drying
on his bare feet, seized basket, and
ran off down the steps and into the
vineyard, and presently returning with
load of the fruit, shot it into the press,
and, with all the dust and dirt of the
road still clinging to his feet, mounted,
and began to tread the grapes, and soon
stood almost knee-deep in the liquor,
which, having served him as a sort of
!oot-bath, was to be the drink, perhaps, OF
future generations of refined, fastidious
palates. Having seen this I became
melancholy, and preferred to leave the
rest OF the manipulations of earth's
choicest nectar in obscurity. London

Mrs. Uranor H., wife of Rev. T. H.
Trainer, pastor of Morgantown cir
cult, NJ. Z. Church, died at her resi-
dence in Morgantown June Is, 1881,
in the fifty-seventh year Of her age.
Mrs. Trainer was twice married,
first to gentleman named Lloyd, by
whom she had three children, none
of whom survived their father.
Through all these bereavements
she was sustained by the Christian
faith and fortitude which marked her
character. Having early became a
follower of Christ she made religion
the chief concern of her life. At
Barboursville, where she resided
many years, she was the leading
spirit in small and struggling
Methodist society.
To her is largely due the erection
of a neat and comfortable church at
that place. Her house was always
the minister's welcome home.
when energy and liberality were
much depended upon in giving him n
support.
Her religion made her jealous
and fearless advocate Of moral re-
forms. In Barboursvile she once
headed n company of women, and,
proceeding to the Court House, re-
monstrated against the granting of
license to sell ardent spirits, and won
her cause.
Nearly six years ago she was mar
ried to her now bereaved husband,
then Presiding Elder of Guyandotte
District. Her complete adaptation
to the circumstances incident to the
itinerant ministry was the more re-
markable as she took up these trials
at so late period in life. She was
in thorough sympathy with her hus
bands work, and this lightened all
her burdens.
She had a passion for the beauti-
full. / have never before seen so
many flowers in the possession of a
Methodist minister's family. The
removal of these from place to place
made up large part OF the labor OF
her migrations.
Her last illness was painful in the
extreme, and lasted through several
months, but she Endured as seeing
Him who is invisible"
Weary of pain, and longing for re-
lease, she waited out her time with a
fortitude known only to the Chris
tian. Her testimonies to the value
of religion in aflliction were numer-
Gus and clear. Her life had been "a
plan of God" and "with an awe that
was not fear, and a consciousness of
demerit which did not exclude hope,
she calmly awaited the opening be-
fore her of the gates of the eternal
world" Trusting for salvation in
the atonement of Jesus Christ, her
physical powers failed, exhausted,
nature yielded to disease, and she
"fell asleep" w. G. S.

Second, the dear father made a
short address, the tears streaming
down his cheeks, and soon not dry

mother by the hand he made very
affecting address to her, asking Gods
blessing to rest npcn her. Then com
