Rev. Dr. BoLLxs of New York, in his ser
mon last Sunday pronounced new idea of
religion. He said that but small part of a
church should be used for purposes of worship.
Il would make of it vast hive of human
deavor, in which there should be everything to
stimulate the intellect, such as libra les anu in
dustrial schools, where children could be taught
the mechanic arts. / would make all these
things free, and let the church fill ITSELF
A REMARKABLE INSTANCE showing how per-
son OF advance years may be able to retain
the interest OF young people comes from Taun-
ton, Mass Mrs. Mary-C. Patten, 80 years old,
has had charge OF the infant class in a Metho-
dist Sabbath school in that city during the past
forty eight years. She never misses a session
of the school and the children almost worship
her. Here is a youthful heart and head despite
the lapse of almost a century of years.
CADET G. +. SYLVIA of the United States
revenue schoolship 8. 2. Chase, at New Bedford
Mass, has been discharged from the service at
his own request, He claims that he has been
treated as pariah by his fellow cadets because

other cadets deny that they have treated Sylvia
badly.
THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA has a wonderful
memory, which is of course, of great service TO
him in his public duties but he achieves more
by hard work and painstaking. His scrupul-
ously regulated life, also provides him with the
necessary time for all hiS duties, even on days
when he has TO speak with from 100 to $50 per
sons, as is not seldom the case. The emperor
rises all the year round at o'clock in the
morning, but very often lie is surprised by his
personal attendants when sitting at his writing
table as early as 4 O'Clock in the morning; and
between the hour of rising and that of going To
bed-usually at 10 O'Clock in tue cyening-lies a
day OF harder work than that OF the tiller of
the soil, relieved only by some reading, which.
together with the theater and the shooting In
the mountains, constitute the monarch's only
pastime. His majesty can laugh as heartily
over O picture OF an illustrated paper as whilst
hearing comedy in the Burg theater. can en-
Joy the naive remark OF a Syrian peasant who
torgets the rank OF the sportsman in a costume
resembling his own, or the self-possessed reply
TO some question by proud Hungarian peasant
who believes he can speak frankly with his
king.
