they ought to be more distressed about the peo-
pic who could not be got out of their wrstched
homes to enjoy few hours of fresh air and
sunshine of music and change of scene, than
about those who, though they were not found in
churches were yet being bettered by music, and
beauty, and recreation: and he boldly declared
that the selfshness and phariseeism of the
church is far more serious evil than what is
called the proclamation of the Sabbath.
Ali accounts agree as to the importance which
is attached to the new departure which of late
years has been made in mission work in India.
Into the homes of the upper classes in that coun
try the male missionary could find no admit
lance. The female missionary-especially the
female medical missonary-finds ready enough
entrance. So much are their services wanted
that they are unable in large cities to comply
with all requests. To meet the difficulty large
dispensary for women has been opened in Bonn

Miss Caldwel's gift to found Roman Catholic
university has been swelled by other gifts, it is
said, to about $500. 600. This Institution will be
located in Washington, D. c., and the sum now

suitable site and the erection of buildings 1t is

1871 there were In Great Britain 500, 600 Roman
Catholics. According to the general growth of
the population during the last forty-two years
that is, 62 per cent. on the census of l841
there should be an increase of nearly half a
million in the numbers of the Roman Catholic
body. Including the Irish in England, the en-

The Memory of the Heart.

II stores of dry and learned lore we gain,
" keep them in the memory Of the brain;
Names, things and facts-whate'er we knowledge
call
There is the common ledger for them all;
And images on this cold surface traced
Make slight impression and are soon effaced;
But we've page more glowing and more bright
On which our friendship and our love TO write.
That these may from the soul depart
We trust them to the memory of the heart.
There is no dimmng, eifacement. there;
Each new pulsaton keeps the record clear;
Warm, golden letters all the tablet fill,
Nor lose their lustre till the heart stands still.

Grants Farewell Address.

The farewell address of General
Grant to the army, at the close of the
war, was as follows:
Soldiers of the armies of the United
States, BY your patriotic devotion to
your country in the hour of danger and
alarm, your magnificent fighting,
bravery and endurance, you have

every foot of American soil. Your
marches, sieges and battles, iu distance,
duration, resolution and brilliancy of
results, dim the lustre of the worlds

be the patriots precedent in the &C.
fence of liberty and right in all time to
come. In obedience to your countr,'s |
call, you left your homes and families,

be increased to 5000. The work will
be issued in two volumes, to be pub
1ished separately, about the first days
of December and March. They both
will be sold exclusively by subscrip-
ton. The publisher will soon sail for
Europe to arrange for the publication
of the book in England, France, Ger
many, Italy and Austria. Norwegian
and Portuguese publishers have made
Overtures to publish the book Mrs.
Grant will have a large percentage on
the sale Of the book in foreign conn
tries. Gen. Grants sons have no
moneyed interest in the book. Mrs.
Grant will have competency from
the sale of the book, so that she can
afford to lift the mortgages for S52, 900
on the house in East Sixty sixth street,
but the family will probably never oc-
cupy the house again. They never felt
at home there after the removal of
Gen. Grants war relics and memorial
treasures. 1t is believed that Mrs.
Grant will sell the Long Branch cot
tage. Col. Fred Grant will have his
fathers library and all of his papers,
many of which are very valuable. u.
S. Grant, Jr., may remain on his New
Jersey farm. Jesse Grant has IL chance
as engineer in Il project for IL railroad
in the Valley of the Euphrates. Mrs.
Nellie Sartoris will return to England,
where her husband and children are.

For them lifes evening sky

Where fires of anger die.

They look with peaceful sight;
The storm they braved has sunk to rest,
Into forgetful night.
From foe to friend-from foe to friend

How have We worked toward this end
Through myriad doubts aud fears

Now seeks the eonquerOr's hand

Aud lovers of one land.
