Wall Pockets.

One of the prettiest wall pockets is
made of large, round Japanese fan,
old or new, it makes no difference.
That portion Of the fan which is cover
ed with the paper, is covered on both
sides with silk, satin, or silk SILICA, in
any color desired. This may be hand
painted, embroidered, or with simply
the transfer pictures put upon 1t. The
edges of the covering, where they meet
at the edges of the fan are neatly
whipped together, of course first being
turned in The pocket piece, which IS
placed upon one side, is lined with the
same covering as is put upon the fan,
and may be made Of canvps, piece OF
plated staw, or piece of an old hat;
in the event of its being straw it may
be brushed over with black or brown
paint, or gilded. In the center of the
pocket piece is put an ornamental
bunch of wheat rice, and dried grasses,
with some loops of ribbon of a pretty
contrasting color This pocket is lit
tie larger than the fan, so that when its
edges are tackled to the edges ofthe fan
it will bulge out slightly as pocket
ought to. The whipping along the
edge is covered with heavy silk OF
wooden cord; a good picture cord will
do whenever necessary, or pretty knots
of ribbon can be added. The fan is
then suspended by loop Of ribbon
The cost of making one of these is but
trife over the time required, and
they can De made either of the large Oh
small-sized Japanese round fans.

| King James translation had none of
them been in Palestine and knew little
of Biblical geography. They were
thus liable to make errors, and did
make many. Since then Egypt has
given up her treasures, Sinai has been
explored, Palestine ha- been traversed
Babylon and Nineveh have risen from
their graves to testify to the truth of
the Bible and lend their manuscripts
and inscriptions to the explanation of
some of its passages. Older manu-
scripts, since discovered, nave been
used in the present revision and many
actual errors rectified. Strain at a
gnat" has been changed to strain out
gnat," and great many such typo
graphical errors have been corrected.
Two words in the original were both
translated 'hell," in the King James
version-"H ades," meaning the abode
Of souls after death, and fGehenna,"
meaning the abode of the damned In
the revision this has been corrected.
So also has the distinction between
"devir' and demon" been brought out,
The division into chapters, first made
by Roman Catholic cardinal in the
thirteenth century, and that IL to verses,
first made by Paris publishing house
in the sixteenth century, have been
done away with and the text has been
divided according 10 sense. Italicized
passages, when they were unnecessary
and weakening to the true sense, have
been discarded.

DR.. sehafr on the Revised Testament

DR.. Philip Schaff, chairman of the
American branch of the Bible revision
committee, addressed large audience
at Pittsburg. Pa, on the subject of the
revised New Testament. After briefly
reviewing the different TRANSACTIONS
made from time to tims, the speaker
said that for fifty years there had been
a growing demand for new transla-
ton. There were two reasons for such
a revision: first, the changes in lam
guages, and second, the progress in
Biblical scholarship. Every living lam
guage, he said, changes from time to
time; certain words have changed to
directly opposite meanings. such as
''prevent" used in the sense of "pre-
cede," let for hinder" Carriages" for
baggage" "by and by" for forth
WITH etc. The most important rea-
son, however, is the growth of knowl-
edge. The AZ persons who made the

From the New York Tribune.
Even the most sensible people keep
their ears open for tales of adventure
and fool hardness which they would
never think of initiating, and a consid-
cradle amount of enthusiasm will be
aroused by John Troyner, recently in
the government service on the gun
boat Tennessee, and Sweed named
Ivan Olsen, who are preparing for
voyage from Bath, Me-, to Havre,
France, in dory of fourteen feet long
which is now building at Georgetown.
She is to be a common fishing dory of
fourteen feet bottom, five feet wide and
twenty-one inches deep, and is to be
decked over with the exception of q
place for standing room aft. She will
be sloop-rigged, carry two jibs, a
malnsail and squaresail, and will spread
to the wind sixty yards of canvass, and
will make ten knots an hour. She will
be the smallest boat that ever attempt
ed anything of the kind. and compares
with the Great Eastern as follows:

Reading Postal Cards.


WASHINGTON, June 5.-The Carmi-
chael postal card affair is likely to lead
to another prosecution after Carmichael
has had his trial for using postal card
to express his opinion of Senator Ma
hone as ''That id dog" Carmichaels
friends say they are informed by long
experienced officials of the postoffice
department that the destruction and
inspection of the postal cards by Post
office Clerk Bell was plain violation
of the statutes, and CarmichaePs
friends say they intend to have the
question iudicially determined whether
a postofiice clerk can read postal cards
at his pleasure. In this connection
allusion has been made to the suit
brought in Denver against ex-senator
Dorsey and others alleged to be con-
nected with the star route contracts,
and the Geographic order purporting
to emanate from the postoffice depart
ment, addressed to the postmaster at
Denver, and instructing him to seize
and forward to the department all let
lers addressed to certain of the parties
involved in the controversy. The post
master at Denver, so it is said, on re-
ceiving the order consulted the attor-
ney general of Colorado in regard to
it. That officer examined the United
States statutes and the postal regula-
items, and concluded the correspon-
dence between Dorsey and his friends
could not be brought under the head
of obscene or indecent literature. The
postmaster, by complying with the
order, would render himself liable to
be sent to the penitentiary. This ac-
corded strictly with the postmaster's
own opinion, and his reasons for not
complying with the order was sent to
Washington to be laid before the presi-
dent The postmaster general denies
any knowledge of the Geographic order
sent from here to the postmaster, and
has instituted an investigation in order
to get at the facts in the case.

with wild despairing cry and threw
herself by her lovers side.
"Mark-oh! dear Mark-live for my
sake" she calculated, in accents we'll
nigh choked with emotion. 81 never
knew how dearly loved you until now.
never knew that all the world is as
nothing compared to you. | have
| been a foolish, wicked girl, and | want
you to forgive me !"
Mark Fenton opened his eyes, and
fixed them on the white haggered fare
of Matthew Golding's daughter.
"My poor lass" he murmured, faint
ly pressing the delicate fingers which
| lay in his own palm, II knew you'd re-
greet it before long. Don't take on, my
darling; / am not going to die yet; |
| feel so much better now that | have
seen you, and heard your own sweet
words / am sorry Mr.. Cartoons dead;
shall always feel that | had some
thing to do with it, and yet He who is
one day TO be my judge, knows that |
meant him no harm. Don't take on
so, lassie-don't take on SO"
ooh, Mark am great deal more
to blame than you," continued Hettie,
still weeping. 81 can never forget
what wicked girl / have been"
Eyes you will, dear; wait till come
down on the beach again." rejoined
Mark, "and we shall be so happy to-
gether. Kiss me, Hettie, and let me
see you bright and cheerful every day;
that viii do me more good than all the
doctors in England"
And it was as Mark Fenton had said,
he did grow better every day although
his recovery to health and strength was
a more lengthy affair than either he or
Hettie had ever anticipated; for it was
not until the following spring that he
was seen at his work again, and during
that time the frequent visits of the
worthy lass had cheered and soothed
him, and he went about his business at
last like the Mark Fenton of old. A
change, however, had came over Hetty,
and perhaps for the better.
A magisteral inquest was held re-
speeding the discovery of Dudley Carl
tons body, and his death was asserted
to have been occasioned entirely by his
own passion.
Hetty could not do to much for
Mark to prove the affection he once had
feared she had bestowed upon another,
and in the early summer, to the infinite
satisfaction of old Matthew, they we're
quietly married in the little rustic
church.
Their children may now be seen play
ing upon the beach, for they love to
listen to the song of the waves, or climb
on grandfather's" knee when tired of
their gambols and listen to his wonder
full tales; but there is one spot on the
cliffs which Hetty can never pass with
out shudder, or recall & to mind eve
nts in the past to which her husband has
never once alluded.

The TCHwORK QUIET.

In sheen OF silken splendor,
with glittering threads of gold,
We seen the waving maryels
That hung in walls Of old;
When fair hands wrought the lilly,
And brave hands held the lance,
And stately lords and ladies
Stepped through the courtly dance
I've looked on rarer fabrics
The wonders Of the loom,
That caught the flowers Of summer
And captive held their bloom;
But not their wreathing beauty,
Though fit for queens to wear,
Can with one household treasure
That's all my own compare.
A. has no golden value,
The simple patchwork spread
Its squares ia hOInely fashion,
Set in with green and red;
But in those faded pieces
For me are shining bright,
All, many a summer morning.
Ana many a winter night,
The dewy breath Of clover
The leaping light Of fame,
Like spells my heart came over,
As one by one | name
These bits Of old time dresses
Chintz. "ambric, calico
That look so fresh and dainty
On my darling long ago.
This violet was my mothers;
| seem u see her face,
That -er Ike the sunshine
Lit ny the shadiest place.
This buff belonged to Susan.
That scarlet spo, was mine;
And Fanny wore thi pelrly white,
Where purple pansies shine.
I turn my patchwork over
A book with pictured leaves
And feel the lilac fragrance
And the snowfall on the caves.
0fall my hearts possessions,

When mother, dear was there.

The Scotch fasting girl, Christina
Marshall continues to live on tea
spoonful of water two or three times q
day. She is Is years old, and lives at
Chapelton, small village near Stratha-
ven. Her illness dates from August or
September last, when she was treated
for pulmonary cold. She gradually
got better, but, instead of reaching
complete convalescence, fell into a
thoughtful mood and betook herself to
bed She expressed the greatest dis
inclination for all kinds of food, and it
was only by the most urgent entreaties
that she could be persuaded to take
wine or grapes. At the New Year,
however, she expressed herself unable
to take any kind of food at all, and her
parents, seeing their entreaties only
caused her pain and sorrow, forebore
to ask her any longer, and since then
she has subsisted solely on a few tea
spoonfuls of water per day. A thor
ough examination of the patient failed
to discover any trace of internal dis
ease. The girl is, of course, growing
gradually weaker, but so slowly that
the change is almost imperceptible.-
At first she did not care for any one
sitting up with her, but latterly she has
insisted on having her father or mother
by her bed side all night long. Al
though not caring to enter into CONVEX
sation, she answers all questions put,
and appears to be fully aware of what
takes place in the house either by
night or by day.
