THE PRAYER BARREL.
A Curious Religious Implement Used by
the People of Thibet.

first met with prayer barrels on the
borders of Tibet, when, travelling the
narrow paths which wind along the face
of majestic, precipitous Himalayan
crags, we met native travellers from still
further north-traders driving flocks of
laden goats, women with quaint head
dresses of Jumps of amber and large,
coarse turquoises fastened on bands of
dirty cloth, and here and there a man
holding IN his hand small bronze or
brass cylinder which he twirled me-
chanically all the time he was Journey
ing. 1t was some time before | sue
ceeded in getting hold of one of these
for a closer examination, as the owners
are nervously afraid to trust their treas
ures in the hands of one who, albeit in
ignorance, might irreverantly turn them
the wrong way, and so undo much of
the merit acquired by perpetual twirling
in the opposite direction. For, as we
eventually discovered, not only is the
sacred siX-syllabled charm embossed on
the metal cylinder, but the same mystic
words were written over and over again
on very lengthy strips of cloth or papy-
rus, which are bound round the spindle
on which the cylinder rotates, and one
end of which forms the handle. 1t is
therefore necessary to turn this little
barrel of prayers in such direction
that the characters forming the holy
phrase may pass in proper order before
the person turning, and as all Oriental
books are read from the right side of
each page to the left, the barrel is
turned in the same direction. For the
same reason the Thibetan walks in this
direction round the great terraces and
other buildings, on which the holy
words are inscribed, in order that his
| eyes may rest on the words in due
course, which can only be the case when
he keeps his left hand toward the object
round which he is walking. Happily
this produces a doubly satisfactory re-
suit, for in Eastern lands, as well as in
our own West, it has ever been ac-
counted lucky and meritorious to walk
round sacred objects or places in this
sunwise cOurse-an act of homage to
the sun which have seen rendered in
many lands. Just as our British an
| cestors continued thus to circumam-
| bulate their churches long after
they bad nominally abandoned all
| paganism, so throughout the world we

OUR OWN HOME AND OUR OWN
FOLK.

Our own home Is the sweet. sweet homo,
Wherever that home may be:
Hid In the strength of the mountains,
Or down by the tossing sea.
IL may stand on the bOundless prairie,
Mid the blowing corn and wheat,
Or be but pea,,t room or two
In busy city street.
But it's Oitr homel our own dear homel
And though II be plain and small
And though we may stay in grander ones,
Our home is dearest Of all.
For there the father goes i'm and out
Through the busy, cheerful days;
And the little children talk of Us,
And the darling mother prays.
For there s no folk like our own folk.
Though many true friends we find;
Who is so true as n father2
So wise. so tendery knd2
And mother-lOVe l. the strong love;
In sorrow or Joy or pain,
All of us long for our mothers heart,
And our own mothers voice again.
We've loved and laughed and wept together
We, OF one household band;
We may scatter far, far, east or west,
Into many foreign land;
But the home tic is the strong tie,
And wherever our feet may roam
Wen find no friends like our own folk,
No home like our own dear home.
There father and mother speak our name
When they pray by the evening light;
There brothers and sisters, ere they sleep,
Wish us n loving goodnight
Then here's to our home, where'e err 1t bel
May the home tie ne'er be broke!
GOD bless its altar and its hearth!
God bless our own dear folk

The Metiea Of Censure

LONDON, MAY 13-the debate or

the policy Of thu governments. He was
frequently interrupted by vociferous
cheers on the part of the Conservatives

War, MAKE a strsng speech in defense
OF the government. He said the govern

for General Gordon's safety and they
had no desire to avoid the responsible

course in sending troops to Suskim and
not TO Berber and pointed out the risk

MED that she government was negoti-

Law contenpIatss that these commits

wise the certificate of the company that

THAT CoMMlssiaN.

On the 9th ultimo, referring 60 che
commission appointed by President
Arthur TO inspect section of the Pay-
allup coal road, we called attention 10
the fact that one of the commissioners,
Mr.. L. II. wadsvorth, vas then under
engagement TO assume a position At
Chicago. Ill, in the employ Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
The accuracy OF this statemen, Was
naturally enough questioned by some
of our readers. They could hardly con
csive that the Government would select
10 represent its interests in 30 important
a matter, a person ia the employ Of the
corporation interested in and to be
benefited by favorable report Of the
commission Of which he vas nsex,ber.
Nevertheless, such was the fact. The
st. Paul Psoseer Press, under date of
May sth. confirms its truth in the fol-
lowing; The appointment Of Z. h.
wadsworth as General Western Agent
Of the Northern Pacific at Chicago Is
announcs d. Mr.. wadsworih recently
filed similar position for the Erie.
and previous 10 that WAS General
Freight Agent Of the darlington. He
