No fears for their transit your mind need distress

Egyptian Fnrniture.

At the time of Joseph (that is 10 say, about
$500 years s~o) the art of chair making was
brought to such a state of perfection that
chairs were elaborately decorated, made
without any UNDERTAKING, and the exquisite
patterns of the luxurious coverings of the
faraeuiLs, etc., are even pirated at the present
day The reception-room of the ancient
Egyptian was generally better furnished than
any other apartment in the house, and il was
here he was required TO show his taste in the
decoration and distribution of those articles
which constitute the furniture of the room.
The walls, which were generally of stucco,
were ornamented with decorations executed
IN fiat tints without any attempt of
shadow or shade, and always treated
10 very conventional manner.
The ceilings were also decorated
after the came manner as the room. or per-
haps more deliberately, the patterns being
divided into psrts, after the manner subse-
quently adopted by the Greeks. Among
the usual furniture of their apartments were
ottonans, coJlches, fastelEiis, chairs, foot
stools, tables, etc, while mats or skins COW
cred the floor. The paintings upon the an
cient papyrus leaves, which are preserved in
the British Museum, give a close, concise
idea of the furniture and fittings Of the IN
tesiors of an Egyptian house.

THE LANDLEss POOR
OF England, who Have No stake In the
Country of Their. Birth.

In the reign of Louis XVI, we are told,
says the British Quarterly, that the Due de
Nemoille and the Princess de Tareate, his
daughter-in-law, were between them seigaeurs
of more than 800 parishes In the province Of
Poilou. After the revolution in France the
devolution of land was turned into differ
ent channel by the dominant popular party,
and in that country proprielors are now
counted By millions, while here they
are reckoned by thousands. The great
estates Of England were very little af-
fecied by our own revolution, and the
influence OF property revived and remained.
Since that period the lust of land, with all
its various advantages, the law of primo
geniture, and the intermarriage of great
families, have accumul ated in various de-
grees to the accumulation of estates in few
hands, without any counteracting influence
in favor OF Dispersion. III the tendency TO
accumulation were to continue for another
century, some Gracious might then say, as
Isaiah said OF old, that they 'lsy field 10
field till there be no plsce, that they may be
placed alone in The midst of the earth"
The facts and figures recently disclosed by
investigation were unknown and unex-
peeted. Surely it must be admitted by
the most devoted wershiper of land owners
that this Is an unexpected condition Of things
and wholly inconsistent with sound policy
and public safety. Landed property has
ever been considered as the 6rm foundation
Of every stable government, and the owners
OF 1t have always been averse to revolution;
but the security and guarantees for
civil order obtainable from that class Of peo-
pie are reduced to . low degree when land
Ia held by a body of persons who are numer-
ically so Insignificant n minority as they
now are proved 10 be. We have seen thai
in France the distribution of land is in
marked contrast TO that which OBJ
taius in Eogland. In Prussia and the
North German Confederation the num-
Der of proprietors is very great.
The small kingdom OF Wurtemburg
contained some years ago 2S0O0O
pesssnt propriesors and 10000 owners of es-
taies Of more than Eve acres each. in Bel
GUM the dispersion, or mosceleulent, of land
has been carried to great length. In the
United States ownership and occupation OF
land generally go together, and the number
of proprietors is immense. Whereas IN Eu-
gland We may walk through the streets of a
large manufacturing towu, swarming with
its night crowds, and reflect that probably
not one person OF all the multitude Of work.

Jewel of joys arisel

But till you are risen, earth is prison,

The morn Of your matchless eyes.

Not long since, Messrs. james r Osgood

! This poem. which we copy from the Guardian
one OF the organs OF the Episcopal Church is from
the pen OF the Rev. Edward o. Fiagg, ID, assist

man whose modesty is only exceeded by the Chris

LIVE IT DOWN:
Has foolish word been spoken,
Or al evil deed been done;
Has the heart been almost broken
For the friends that now disown?
Let not GOODNESS or the froWn
Shake thy manhood-live 1t down.

Trusting fnuendo viles
With the worlds optimism veering,
Bsskfng in its tickle smile?
What are gossips with their frown?

Verdict fairer will be given
In the sober after-thought;
Charity, sweet child of heaven,
Judgment harsh will set at nought.
Then will grieved mercy's frown
Smite the slaad rer-live it down.
But If man refuse to soften
For that weakness he may feel,
There is One forgives as often
AS TO Him we choose to kneel.
Droop not then if all should flown;
With such friendship-nTe it down.

THEN AND NOW.

In his Introduction to Eighteenth Century Essay
Mr.. Dobson writes the following stanzas:
With slower pen men used to write,
OF old, when letters" were ''polite;"
In Annals or in Georges days,
They could afford to turn phrase,
Or trim q struggling theme Alright.
They knew not steam; electric light
Not yet had dazed their calmer sight;
They melted out both blame and praise,
With slower pen.
More swiftly now the hours take fight;
what's read at morn is dead at night;
Scant space have we at arts delay,
Whose breathless thought SO briefly stays
We may not work-and would we might
With slower pen.
