Buddhist Monks OF Tartary.

The lamaseries, or monhsteries, of Tar
tary, which follow the Thibet rule, and
are subject to the dalai-lama, or Buddhist
pope at Lassa, have great influence over
the Tartars OF this wild region. When
Ter new monastery or temple is to be
quilt, the begging lamas are sent out in
every direction. going from tent to tent,
and collecting large sums from the peo-
pie of Iartary, Notwithstanding their
poverty. In these deserts edifioes are
reared as if by enchantment, whose
grandeur and opulence would defy the
resources of the wealthiest potentates.
They are built of stone, the temples solid
and often elegant; and the idols are not
bornd monsters, but have regular Euro
pean features and pleasant expression.
The converts of Kouren, which has
thirty thousand lamas, covers the whole
side of mountain, and contains COL
lection of temples; with white cells for
the monks, in horizontal lines, one above
the other, resembling, at distance, a
vast stairway. Innumerable tents below
contain the pilgrims, who are always ar
irving and departing. The chief lama
of this convent is called the guison- tam
ba; anu visit which this abbot once
made to the Emperor of China. though
his retinue was limited to three thousand
lamas, stirred all Tartary with an emo
ton which gave no little alarm to the
court at Pekin. The largest part of the
lamas live in communities; but another
part, after pursuing their studies in con-
vents, return home, and are kind of
outdoor priests, And another portion
are perpetual wanderers, vagabond
priests, who are always migratory, NOV
lug about at random, without aim or
purpose and depending for their support
on the never-failing hospitality of the
Tartars. The Buddhist monks take the
same three vows which are imposed on
all the orders of Christian monks, name
ly, of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
And all the Buddhist priests are monks,
and nearly all are mendicants. They
go out every day, stopping for minute
in silence before each house, and receive
the rice which may be put into the bowl
which they carry. If none is given to
them, they go on in sileuce to the next
house. This is donewhen they are near
cities or towsss; but when they are far
from any surrounding population. they
are allowed, it seems, to support them
selves by pastoral and agricultural Ia

Old PeOpIe Mt Home.

When IN late autumn we attempt to
take up one of the plants which have
grown luxuriantly in garden bed, we
lind that the danger to its life, in trans
planting, is not so much the injury
which its large roots are likely to ia
ceive, as the smaller ones, which are
like little fingers reaching everywhere
There is strange likeness to this in
the uprooting of a life which has for
years been lived in one home. There is
nothing sadder than to see the old father
and mother give up their independent
life and become inmates of new home
with their children. This change is
often, if not always, urged by sons and
daughters from the purest motives.
They feel that the cares of housekeep-
ing, the oversight of home, are too
great burdens for father and mother.
Come and live with u.s." they say,
''and take life easy" But few in
deed, are the parents who can adjust
themselves to the new relations, and
their Teculiarly homeless feeling. They
seem to fit nowhere. They miss the
old neighbors and all the little nameless
associations that helped to fill up the
measure of their days. They realize,
as they never did in the old home, to
which they gave tone and direction,
how strongly the tide of young life flows
on and leaves them behind, and unless
their faculties are greatly impaired they
are filed with sadness. They have
nothing to do. Grandma can knit, and
grandpa can do some trifing things,
but there is nothing to satisfy them.
1t is no ones fault; it is in the nature of
things that this should be so; and so it
seems that there should be less con-
fdence placed in the appeals Of children
for their parents to break up the old
home before necessity compels them to
do so. In our modern homes there are
not many CORNERS built for old age"
and possibly old age is not content with
a corner. However this may be, it
certainly appears rea sonable that sol long
as old people are able to carry on the
home it is the wisest to leave them in
it. [ have in mind an aged couple who
lived for over fifty years in one home.

NUMBER II.
Major Andres Watch.

The story of Major Andres watch,
which, after many vicissitudes, has come
into the possession of a gentleman living
in Newburg- on Hudson, is an interest
ing one. Andre at the time of his cap
ture wore two watches, as was the Gus
tom with gentlemen at that time. His
captors took both. One, General Wash
lngton forced them to give up, and it
was restored to Andre. The other is
the watch in question. Its history is as
follows: After Andres execution it was
sold by his captors to Colonel William
Stevens Smith, then holding a commits
sion In the patriotic army on the Hud-
son, for thirty guineas. Colonel Smith.
it may be promised, married a sister of
John Adams, and was the ancestor of
the present owner, from whom these
facts are derived. Smith sent the watch
under flag of truce to General Robin
son commanding the British outposts on
the Hudson, with request that 1t be
forwarded to Andres family in England.
Robinson. who, as it is proved, was
roue and a gambler, pawned the watch
and spent the money in carousals.
Time passed on, and the watch was for
gotten. At the time of the Philadelphia
Centennial it came on with other relics
and was deposited in the Wisconsin de-
partment. There a sharp-eyed news
paper correspondent discovered it, and
described it in the columns of his
journal. The paragraph, long time
after, meeting the eye of gentleman
whose ancestor had sent the watch, as
he supposed to its rightful owners a
hundred years before, he at once began
a search for the relic, travelling over a
greater part of the State of Wisconsin,
and at last discovered its owner in the
person of venerable lady, who stated
that her husband had purchased it of
pawnbroker in Philadelphia nearly fifty
years before. The lady was willing to
sell, and the gentleman gladly became
its owner. Its identity he has been able
TO clearly establish. It is an open-faced
gold watch of French manufacture, of
peculiar shape, being fiat and thin, and
totally unlike anything known to Amer
lean jewelers.. There are but four figures
on the dial, three, six, nine, and twelve,
the intermediate hours being indicated
by asterisks. On the dial-plate in fine
letters are engraved the words, Thomas
Campbell, Albany" Campbell was the
dealer Of whom Andre bought it, Albany
being little town in the district of
Breadalbane, Scotland. On the inner
case is engraved. ''John Andre, 1774. %
On receipt of the watch, inquiries were
made in England through Dean Stanley
and other parties to discover if the Andre
family had received the watch sent to
General Robinson, which established the
fact that they lad not. The same in
quiries proved incontestably that this
was the watch carried by Andre on the
morning of his capture.
