chased his coffin when he reached the age
of forty. He then had it painted three
times every year with aspecies OF varnish,
mixed with pulverized porcelain-a com,
nosition which resembled silicate PANT
pr enamel. The process by which the
varnish was made has been lost to the
Chinese. Each coating OF this pant
wos made of some thickness, and when
dr;ed had n metallic tirmness resembling
enamel. Frequent coats OF this, II the

AN ATTENTIVE CONGREGATION.
AIe,f From, m worthy CIergyinan's ESpe'
,i.uce-TransIaiedF from the German

OVERWHELMINGLY FROM the German.
It was Sunday and raining; raining
hard, raining as it usually does at sea-
port town and on the first day OF tho
week. In this particular town there was
a modest, unpretending church, from
which the British flag was occasionally
displayed TO announce that religious
service would be conducted therein Tor
sailors and sea-iaring people. Inc
clergyman on the morning OF our nara
tive had arranged for the proper service,
and as there was no sign OF the storm
abating determined to order q carriage.
The demand for carriages was greater
than usual, as indeed it is in every town
during stormy weather A few minutes
before II o'clock, however, one answered
his summons, and arriving at the place
Of worship, the clergyman hastily or
dered the driver to wait until the service
was over, to find himself, however, III
the edifice alone. Apparently sea-farlng
people hesitate to attend divine service
in rainy weather with the same trepida-
ton rs the sinners Of the land, for not
one place was occupied. The clergyman
being II Jealous man determined to defer
the services for short while, and per-
haps then some God.fearing person
mipht attend. His patience was re-
| warded. for in few moments man,
drjpping wet from the rain, entered, and
inoicstly took seat on the back pelich.
One might think he came only seeking
shelter from the pouring rain, as all the
taycrus were closed, it being the custom
throughout England to close them all on
Sunday. Now this spiritual adviser was
not only Jealous but II conscientious
man no we'll, and no determined, there
fore, even before one worshippcr, to rem
der the service from beginning to end.
He read with care and deliberation a
norton Of the Scriptures and the Liturgy
throughout, and influenced probably BY
the picty and devotion OF tho worshlppel
before him, took occasion to suggest thai
the unfavorable weather had certainly
deferred the usual visitors from attend

shipper begged him TO continue th'
entire service, expressing at the SAINT
time n desire to hear tho sermon. Thu
desire for instruction on the part OF TIN
attentive listener gratihed the man 0

termined to fulfill the request. He sc
lccted proper text and eloquently en-

Who TO Marry.

II You can not find gentleman to
marry, girls, do not marry at all. BY
that term we do not mean man who is
above the need of work he may be any
thing but n gentleman, but man who
knows how to work, who has self-respect
enough to keep him from low habits
both of speech and action who is courte-
Gus and honorable; who is not afraid of
soiling his hands; the farmer, the black
smith, the carpenter, any man may be q
gentleman under dust and SCOT and
chips, but if he is not, girls, don't marry
him There is enough trouble in life
without increasing it in any why. Do
not subject yourself to the modification
that would be sure to como with hus-
band who would continually cause you
to blush for his coarseness and rough
ness for his slippery dealings or hypo-
critical polish. 1t is not sufficient that q
man looks well and dresses well but he
must act and live well besides.

In the Black Forest.

PRINCES OF pines displayed themselves
in the immediate neighborhood, each one
distinct and detached from the other;
but beyond, and far away as the eye
could follow. the black mountains accu-
INFLATED in dense dark muses. and out
lines. Stretches of yelvety fields and
slopes here and there relieved the gloom.
White roads twisted snake-like, about
the vast scene. To the right stretched
great unintercsting plains, the flowing
Rhine, conspicuous object, but here
not more romantic than the tamest
liycrs. in the distance rose tho long
chain of the Vosges Mountains, with
their soft, wavy, graceful fluctuations,
though too far oil to be very conspicuous
or interesting. Small streams ran their
course and villages dotted tho plain,
their red roofs rising in contrast with
tho somber pines. Tho wind swept
great white clouds across the sky, bring
| ing ont the blue beyond in deep relief,
while they cast huge shadows upon the
plain that chased each other and dissolved
as the clouds died out in space. One
! tree, one stream, one field, one hill, may
resemble another, but q thousand times
multiplied, and thousand times seen,
the Lust look is Gs fresh and beautiful tC
