AT III, Christian Church.

A large attendance gathered at the
Christian church Thursday eve.to lisren to
the musical and reading which had been
announced through the columns of this
paper. The church was lavishly and
beautifully decorated with flowers, and
presented a handsome, and at the same
time, a homelike appearance.
1t was the first appearance in this city
of Miss M. Ella Day, a young o%locutio-
mist who comes here with high re-
concentrations, and her renditions of
last night proved that she has not been
overated. Her character recitation,
'.Grandma's C%ourtship," was well re-
ceived by the audience.
The musical part of the programme
was rendered by a quartette composed
of Miss Calderwood, Mrs. Day and
Messrs. France and N~orthrup. Misses
Boulter and Clayton presided at the
piano. MI. Frances rendition OF
"Hybrias the Cretan' was very fine and
in response to an encore he sang
"Psalms." Good Night, Beloved" was
not sufficient for Mr.. Northrup and the
audience insisted upon a second selection
and he sang, in a pleasing manner "The
Yeoman's Wedding Song" Miss Calder
wood sang "When IT'S Moonlight" at
the close of which the audience burst
into a storm of applause and she returned
and sang "Supposing."
The entertainment throughout was
most successful and pleasing.

THE LOWER CLAssEs.-Who are they +?
The toiling millions, the laboring man and
woman, the farmer, the mechanic, the arti-
san, the inventor, the producer! Far from
it. These are nature nobility. No matter
if they are high or low in station, rich or
poor in pelf, conspicuous or humble in posi-
ton, they are surely upper circles in the
order of Nature, whatever the Fictitious
distinction OF society, fashionable OF un-
fashionable, decree. 1t is not low, it is the
highest duty, privilege and pleasure for
the great man and high-souled woman to
earn what they possess, to work their own
way through life, to be architects of their
own fortunes. Some may rank the classes
we have alluded to as only relatively low,
and, in fact, the middling classes. We
insist they are absolutely the very highest.
If there be a class Ofhuman beings on earth
who may be properly denominated low, it
is that class who spend without earning,
who consume without producing, who dis
sipate on the earnings of their fathers or
relatives without being anything IN and OF
themsclyes,-IHe Mechanic.

Why Stone Walls + Damp.

The walls of q stone house and some
times of a brick house are covered with
dampness. This is due to the very same
cause by which dew is deposited on grass,
or moisture on the side of q glass or pitch
er that is filled with ice water and is
brought into a warm room. The walls be-
como cold, and as stone is a non-conductor
of heat they remain cold for a long time.
When the weather changes suddenly from
cold to warm, the air becomes filled with
moisture, for the warmer the air is the
moro moisture ii will absorb. When this
warm air strikes the cold walls the moist
urC is deposited on them from the air,
which is suddenly cooled by contact with
them, and as the warm air is continually
coming in contact with the walls the damp
ness accumulates until it appears like dew
upon them and pOurs down in streams at
times. No plaster should be put directly
on brick or stone, but Turing strips should
be nailed to the wall and the lath put on
these. Cellars are frequently made very
damp in the same way by too much yenti-
lation in warm weather. Ihe warm air
pouring in iscooled, and its moisture is de-
posted on The walls and floor until they
are so wet as to surprise the housekeeper,
who wonders how ii is the cellar will not
dry, and the mere it is aired the wetter il
becomes.
