The Love of Ornament.


characterization does not alone owe
it's existence to modern ideas, for even
among the ancients we find the love of
ornament, both architectural and other
wise, equal to, if not excelling, that of
modern times. Nature in great
measure is responsible for the origin, and
has contributed to the many beautiful
designs and embellishments so skill
fully wrought by human hands. The
beautiful specimens of Moorish archi-
lecture, the only surviving relics which
tell us of the fallen greatness of that
once powerful nation, with their ex-
quisite designs and delicate tracery,
now almost extinct, appear to have
originated in the profuseness of the
luxuriant foliage and spreading
branches of the primeval forest, for all
seems designed for GOODNESS and shade.
Love for the ornate is not alone confined
to civilized man, but is existent within
the savage, which, though it may be
more rude in it's nature and inferior in
character, it nevertheless, exists in
proportion equal to that exhibited in
the highest phases of civilization. Nor
is it alone confined to the human race,
for some of the lower order of animals
seem endowed with an instinct that
makes them aware of its presence.
Every land and people can furnish
illustrations of the most touching forms
of decoration relative to those loved in
life and memories cherished beyond
the grave. The ornamentations of the
last resting place, when they arise out
of pure affection and not from love of
pomp and pride, are mute appeals, each
conveying the sadness of the heart,
which finds so many varied expressions.

: Monkeys. Family Life.

Among other animals the efemale5ele-
ment wields the scepter in family life.
but in the realm of apes the male is in
vested with the sovereign power, not
by general suffrage, but by the righ
to force. The oldest and strongest
male of troop proclaims himself chief
and leader, after having vanquished all
his competitors. The longest teeth
and the strongest arms decide in the
question of supremacy. All those who
show reluctance to submit are chastised
till they come to reason. To the strong
est belongs the crown; in his sharp
teeth resides his wisdom. This fero-
cious tyrant understands his duty as a
leader, and performs The same with dig
nifty. His subordinates fatter and fon-
die him in every way. AS a genuine
Pasha, he accepts this respect with
kind, of languid acquiescence. In
return he watches carefully over his
vassals, and shows continual anxiety
for their welfare and security. He or
ders and directs minute details in daily
life. The female monkey gives birth
to one young one, very seldom to
twins. The newborn monkey is q
very ugly creature, bare of hairs, with
spindling limbs and a repulsive, senile
face. But the mother is passionately
fond of her monster, and caresses and
nurses it with remarkable devotion.
She does not leave it for a single mom-
ment, she presses it to her heart, rocks it
to and fro, and takes the utmost care
to keep it absolutely clean. In the first
period of life the baby is apathetic and
almost insensible, but begins gradually
to play with the urchins of its age.
The mother is patient observer of the
first step of her beloved, and watches
carefully that no harm may befall it.
In the meantime she trains it and the
first virtue inculcated in the mind of
the youngster is obedience, obedience
in the strictest sense of the word. Men
have ridiculed the maternal affection
of the brute, and speak Of ''apish love-"
In our eyes the tenderness exhibited by
the monkey may have a ridiculous side
but where is the man that could with
out deep emotion, witness the anxiety
OF a mother-ape nursing her sick child?
l must confess that, to my eye, in such
cases she is at least the equal to the
human mother. If the young ape dies
the spectacle. is a piteous one. The
mother cannot be separated from the
dead body, refuses all food and fire.
quently perishes from grief. In such
cases the ape proves certainly his con-
geniality with the human race, and in
his moral affection could stand as an
example to many men.

AHard-WorkinrPoet.

Scotch people appear to appreciate
their poets. A movement is in pro-
gress for erecting monument over
the grave of Mary Pyper, an Edinburgh
poet, who died fifteen years ago, and
was buried in Greyfriars Churchyard.
Born of humble parents, she lived
nearly all her days in house situated
between Bulls Close and High School
Yard, Cowgate. A great lover of tho
poets, she became acquainted in early
life with the works of Shakespeare,
Dryden, Milton, Thompson, and others;
and in two volumes of hymns she
made important contributions to
religious literature. All along she had
hard struggle for her daily bread
and was accustomed to rise at four or
five o'clock in the morning to her work,
and often sat till twelve or one next
morning. Her mother, whom she sup
ported, was confined to bed for; six
years, and it was while tending her that
She composed most of her hymns. Mary
was member of the Scotch Episcopal
OOluLluuIOu, duu Dcdu NdulShy WIOCC
an Introductory note to her poems,
which he said were "Of no common
order of excellence, both in diction and
sentiment For some time Mary went
about with copies of her poems trying
to get subscribers, but at first she was
not very successful, and in connection
with this she wrote the following verse
for the first edition of her poems:
II asked q lady to subscribe,
She answered she would see;
But oh find she still is blind;
Alas for her and me!'
The monument will consist of plain
cross mounted on a pedestal. The in
scription is as follows, the verse of
poetry being tho opening lines of her
''Christian' 8 View of Death':
In memory OF
MARY PYPER.
Who under untoward circumstances,
cherished her gift as writer of sacred
verse, this stone is erected by admiring
friends. Born on May %, 1875, she
died on May 25, 1870.
Let me go, the day is breaking,
Morning bursts upon the eye;
Death this mortal frame is shaking,
But the soul can never die. 49,.

True Friendship Only In True Heart.

There is, indeed, great deal of in
gratitude and a great deal of injustice
in the world, and yet love is thing so
discriminating, so free in its course,
so incapable of purchase, or bribe, or
bondage, that 1 believe it is very rarely,
if ever, permanently misplaced, or f.
nally withheld where it is really mer-
tied. True affection as naturally flows
toward the excellent and amiable, and
as naturally avoids the mean, the self
ish, the ill-natured, as water escaping
from the harsh and rugged rock rests
not till it reposes in the aowery bosom
of the valley. We do, indeed, some
times see ill-judging people lavishing
their admiration on persons of superb
cial virtues and great professions; but
in the sequel even these will be COM
PEELED to own their mistake, and ac-
knowledge the superior worth of the
modest, unpretending. consistent, be-
nevolent character. If l we're about
to make choice of particular friend
among a number of persons, should
not be guided by their conduct and
professions to me, but by their behav-
Tor in their own families and among
their old friends. A person who sus-
tains one relation well, will not fail in
another. 1 should be quite sure that a
dutiful, attentive daughter, a kind,
disinterested, and self-denying sister
would make a good friend; on the con-
trary, no attentions or professions to
myself could induce ME to believe that
an individual who failed in these rela-
tions was capable of disinterested and
faithful friendship. l should fully ex'
pect that as soon as the novelty OF Oul
intimacy was worn off, the first time
an interest or Inconvenience happened
to clash, l should experience the same
want of kindness and generosity as
had witnessed in the case of the Others
