Beware of Imita-
lions of our Six Step
Steel Flange made in
Cast Iron.

The Door Frames and Jams of these safes
are made OF MALLEABLE ROLLED STEEL,
into six offsets or fianges, for which the Com
pany holds exclusive patent. The advantage
of our methods are as follows:
The thinness of the metal which connects
the outside box with the inside box, The
~toughness ofthis metal which forms the door
frames and jams; the close fitting of the door
frame to the jamb; The position OF the bolt
work on the inner fiange OF the door; The
roundc corners of the safe. All other safes
made in the United States have Cast Iron
door frames and jambs, which metal must be
made thick In order TO obtain sufficient
strength, thus furnishing a direct avenue for
the introduction of heat to the inside Of the
safe, while, thick as it is, it is constantly
cracking, especially when exposed to fire,
owing to its %well-known briltleness.
BY the use of this thin steel, we have solved
the problem ofhow to make the front of q safe
unequal contraction CT cast iron in cooling
renders 1t impossible to fit the door casting to
the jamb casting with eloseness and regulari.
ty-a glaring evil which our system obyiates
The position Of the lock and bolts render IL
easy to keep both in order, while at the same
time they are far more difficult to be tambered
with when the safe is lock. The filling, by
thissy stem. begins at the extreme outside of
the door while by the old system of placing
the lock, and bOltwork immediately under the
outer plate of the door. the heat was allowed
unobstructed about half through the door.
The fire-proOf flliDg is of such a nature that
the contents of a safe are surely protected
through any fire to which q burning building
can expose it. The round corners give double
the protection against the bursting of q safe
by a heavy fall, as the full strength of the
welded hoopsis thus preserved, while in q safe
with square corners the rectangular bend in
the hoops is a constant source of weakness
and danger These safes are in use through
out the length and breadth of our land, as
well as in the countries Of the Eastern Hemis-
phere; they have been everywhere exposed
to fires Of all kinds incident to human expert
ence, but there has never been a single case
where they have failed to protect their con-
tents against loss or damase from heat, hence
we do nor fear to assert tbat they are the best
fire-proof safes in use, and whilethey are fin
ished In all their appointments with great
horoughness and beauty, we arc able; on ac-
count of great facilities for manufacturing.

A NIGHT OF AGONY.

The following "true tale" was recently
told by the Mayor of Stratford- Avon
when delivering lecture on "FOreSt and
Historic trees" Some years ago gentle
man, mounted on horse, set out in order
to cross the Dartmoor. Though the thaw
had commenced, yet it had not melted the
snow-heaps, and our traveller got on bit
slowly, and towards evening it froze again.
The shades Of evening came on with vapor
and mist. TO reach Tavistock that night
he knew would be impossible, as fresh
snow-storm began to fall. To stay out all
night would be certain death. Itwas, there
fore, with no small satisfaction that he saw
at a distance a cottage, partially covered
with snow, and it was not long before he
reached it. He dismounted, and the door
was opened by an old woman. He entered,
and saw sturdy peasant, the w0man's son,
who sat smoking his pipe beside blazing
peat fire. The strangers wants were soon
made known; an old clubhouse accommo-
dated his horse, and the son gave up his
bed, adding that he would sleep in the old
settle by the chimney corner. After supper
he was shown to his room where there was
large oak chest, very old and curious, SO
much so as to cause him to remark upon it to
the woman, who had lighted him up stairs,
and he could not help observing something
shy and odd about her manner. After she
had gone he felt inclined to peep into the
chest, but he forebore and went to bed. He
felt cold and miserable, and could not sleep.
The old chest haunted hfm3sa: hollow sound,
as if behind his bedss Head, suddenly star
tied him, and as$heraSM himself in his
bed, the first thing hesaW was the chest.
There it lay in thessiiVery silence Of the
animate thing, and at length he fancied the
lid ofithe chest began smove. Starting
from hiabed, hegsasped the lid and raised
it up. Imagine hfs Heing of horror when
he beheldoa human corpse stiff and cold
One thought during the rest of the night
possessed him-that he was in the house Of
murderers! There was no escape. He
thanked God when morning came. On
coming down stairs he found the old woman
and her son preparing breakfast. They
hoped "his honor" had passed good night,
and bade him eat his breakfast, consisting
of boiled bacon, the son Ginning in ''that
mother was reckoned good un at sailing
un in." He enjoyed his breakfast and re-
covered from his fright, and as the old
woman was boiling another rasher, he sum-
moned up courage to disclose the secret Of
the oak chest, and asked for an explana-
ton. "Bless your heart, your honor, it's
nothing at ALL" said the young man; SITS
only faytheru "Father! Your father!"
cried the traveller; what do you mean?"
"Why, you see, your honor, the snow being
so thick, and the roads so cledgey like,
when old fayther died two weeks ago, we
couldn't carry un to Tavistock to bury un,
so mother put un in the old box, and salted
un in" The travellers breakfast was spoil
ed. He got up from the table, paid for his
lodging, saddled his horse, and has never
been known to touch a rasher of bacon since,
as it always recalled the feelings of disgust
connected with the adventure of "salting

THE ORIGIN OF RELIGION.

The origin of religion is to be sought in
the countless ages, before the rise of theolO-
gy; before spirits, ghosts, or gods ever took
definite form in the human mind. The
primitive, uncultured man frankly wor-
SHIPPED external objects in love and in fear,
ascribing to them quasi-human powers and
feelings. All that we read about Animism,
ghosts, spirits, and universal ideas of god
head, in this truly primitive stage, are met
aphysical assumption of men trying to read
the ideas of the later epochs into the facts
of an earlier epoch. Nothing is more GER
tain than that man everywhere started with
simple worship of natural objects. And
the bearing of this on the future Of religion
is-decisive. The religion of man in the vast
cycles of primitive ages was reverence for
nature as influencing man. The religion or
man in the vast cycles that are to come will
be the reverence for humanity as supported
by nature. The religion of man in the 20 or
80 centuries of theology was reverence for
the assumed authors or controllers of nature.
But, that assumption having broken up, re-
ligion does not break up with it. On the
contrary, it enters on far greater and more
potent career, inasmuch as the natural emo
tiOns of the human heart are now combined
with the certainty of scientific knowledge.
The final religion of enlightened man is the
systematized and scientific form of the
spontaneous religion or natural man. Both
rest on the same elements-belief in the
Power which controls his life, and grateful
reverence for the Power so acknowledged.
The primitive man thought that Power to
be the object of nature affecting man. The
cultured man knows that power to be hu-
manity itself, controlled by nature accord
ing to natural law. The transitional and
perpetually changing creed of theology has
been an interlude. Agnosticism has utter
ed its epilogue. But Agnosticism is no
more religion than differentiation or the
nebular hypothesis is religion. We have
only to see what are the elements and ends
of religion to recognize that we cannot find
it in the negative and the unknown. In
any reasonable use Of language religion i'm
plies some kind of belief in Power outside
of ourselves, some kind of awe and graft
tude felt for that Power, some kind Of infiu-
ence exerted by it over our lives. There are
always in some sort these three elements
belief, worship, conduct. A religion which
gives US nothing in particular to believe,
Nothing as an object of awe and gratitude,
which has no special relation to human duty
is not religion at all. 1t may be formula,
a generalization, a logical postulate; but it
is not a religion. The universal presence OF
the unknoWable (or rather of the unknown)
substratum is not religion. It is logical
postulate. You may call it, if you please,
the first axiom of science, law of the hu-
man mind, or perhaps better, the universal
postulate of philosophy. But try it by eve
ry test which indicates religion, and you
will find it Wanting.-Ffederick Harrison,
IN the Nineteenth Century.

A RAILWAY RUN BY WATER.-A news
paper correspondent, writing from Switzer-
land, tells Of a curious railway, as follows:
1.-The picturesque and practical are often
curiously intermixed. I CLEAN few partic-
ulars of funicular railway which connects
Territet (Chillon) and Glion. The railway,
which is on steep incline, something after
the style of the one up Mount Vesuvius,
commences at an angle of 32 degrees, and
soon increases to 81 degrees. 1t is single
line, with loop as a passing place half way.
There are two carriages on the line, one OF
which ascends while the other descends.
The ascending carriage is drawn by the
force of gravity of the one which is descend
ing, the latter being weighted by reser-
voir placed underneath being filled with
water. The reservoir is emptied as soon as
the carriage has made the descent. The
two vehicles are connected with each other
by means of a wire cable, which passes over
a wheel at the summit of the incline. By
the passenger remarkable optical illusion
is experienced. Trees, huts, houses, rocks,
all seem to be bent back, as though by some
enchantment. They are apparently stand
ing out of the perpendicular, and one can
scarcely help wondering that they do not
topple over. The deception is due to the
seats of the carriages, which are constructed
at such an angle that, Notwithstanding the
steepness of the gradient, the occupant pre-
serves his ordinary upright sitting posture.
The line is 743 yards long, and they differ
ence between the level of its base and that
of its summit is 9S4 feet" e..

WHAT Won SOLDIERS SUIT.-A small
but distinguished company of lawyers sat in
the Supreme Court room, Boston, recently,
talking over old times. Among them was
COL Charles S. Spencer, who told the follow
ing story.
II was retained" he said, ''by an ex-
soldier of the war to sue for the recovery of
one thousand eight hundred dollars which
he had loaned to friend. The late Edwin
James was counsel for the defendant. James
cross-examined the plaintiff in his usual
forcible way.
"You loaned him one thousand eight
hundred dollars?" Mr.. James asked.
II did, SIR"
"It was your own money!"
"It was, SIR"
"When did you lend him the money!"
"In July, 1866"
where ..I II. err d did d you W get that money sir?"
"You earned it eh! When did you earn
it ?"
"During the war, sir" he said, in very
humble tone.
"You earned it during the war? Pray
what was your occupation during the war?'
Mr.. James inquired.
"Fighting, sir" the man replied mod
estly.
"Oh, fightingw Mr.. James said, some
what taken down.
II smiled triumphantly. James was half
mad. Well, we went to the jury; and l, of
course, had the last to say. l sailed away
up to glory. I spoke of the war, of the
lives and treasure which it cost US, of the
awful battles which decided the fate of the
Union, of the self-denial and bravery Of our
men, who left home, and wife, and chill
dren, and father, and mother and every
thing that was dear to them, and went forth
to fight for their firesides and freedom and
the salvation of the nation. I pointed to the
plaintiff as the sort of man who had fought
our battles and saved the flag. 1 worked
the jury up and got a verdict for the full
amount. AS we were quitting the court
room, James said
"Spencer, your war speech gained you
the verdict. If you hadn't discovered
through my cross-examnation that the man
had fought in the War, you would have
been beaten.
'My friend" I replied, eff you had only
asked the man which side he fought on,
you might be going home with verdict.
MY client was Confederate!n
