ANTl-SLAVERY CONGRESS.
a Movement to Break Up the Slave Traf
fic in Africa.


Cardinal Lavigerie's appeal to Amer
lea for aid in suppressing the African
slave trade should not 90 unheeded. A
congress is soon to meet in Brussels to
consider some plan of international
action. The Cardinal thinks thai It
would be poetic justice Cor the emanci-
patcd blacks of the United Staues to
send delegates 20 this congress and as
sist in its work. This is ve-y peril
nent suggestion, which ought to meet
with favorable response. This move
ment is confined to no race or creed, and
it deserves the encouragement and as
sistance Of all Christendom. The Arabs
are desolating the Dark Continent.
Their atrocities are greater, If possible,
than ever before known in the fearful
history of the slave traffic. The Car
dinal, who is especially well-in-
formed OH this matter, declares that
never since the days of Livingstone has
the slaye-trade been SO active and wide
spread as at this moment The reports
of its suppression at Zanzibar, he de-
clares, are false, and he accuses the Sui
IAN OF that country OF being in league
With the slave-dealers. 1t is n reproach
on the civilization of the age that the
Arabs should be allowed TO continue this
traffic in human flesh. Where one
captive lives TO reach the coast ten dio
on the way. while sle old men and wOm-
en- ana young children are morcilcssly
killed at the start. Village after village
is decimated by one of these Arab cara
vans. The Cardinal says that an ex-
penditure OF $4,000, 900 would accom-
plish the purpose of breaking up the
traffic. If this is true there should be
no difficulty in accomplishing that very
desirable nd.-Philadelphia Press.

SIXTY YEARS AGO.
d Vermont Church Service in tho Early
Part of the Century.


Part of the Century.
As soon as the text was given out,
Deacon Bachelor, who was old and
very deaf rose from his pew, walked
heavily down the aisle, and half as
cended the pulpit steps. Then he ad-
justed an enormous tin ear-trumpe,, and
sat there through the long sermon, a
pious attentive, but most grotesque,
| figure. The singers seats stretched en-
tirely across the church in front of the
/ pulpit-two long rows, with a rack or
desk for hymn books between them.
/ The men singers sat with their backs to
| the pulpit, while the women faced
them. When the leader struck his tun-
ing fork and gave the key, all stood up
and literally bawled and sang in each
Others faces. All the old mournful
minor tunes were great favorites, and
the rhymed stories of hell fire, damna-
ton and lost souls gave the greatest
satisfaction to both singers and
parson. Questions OF doctrine
were Elder Whitcinch' 6 greatest Joy and
most frequent discussion. and several
times a year he preached on the ''un-
pardonable sin" but we must remember
that he had none of the sins of great
cities to form subjects of sermons and to
preach against-not even that of intom-
perance, for the simple reason that it
was then considered sin in no one TO
drink strong liquors provided man
stopped short OF gross INVESTIGATION.
Habitual drinkers were all those New
England farmers. In nearly every
household in the winter months little
pewter tlagon or tankard filed with
boiling water (and with straw-covorcd
handle to prevent burning the hand)
was brought in to the farmer at eight
o'clock, the regular bedtime. Then a
great pitcher of rum toddy or cider flip
was brcwed and every one. mon, women
and children, drank of it, and thus went
warmed to their ice-culd chambers,
where the snow siftcd in little drifts on
the floor. No farm hand would work at
plowing and haying without three glasses
of rum a day. Even the few worliwom-
en- who took their rounds among these
farms-a tailoress, wool-w eaver, an In
dian "squaw nurse"-all demanded. re-
ceived and drank their daily glass of
rum. Bears were not infraquent visit
ors in Vermont in those day, and may a
bears tracks and depradations were re-
ported at the Sunday "nooning." and
the hunt was planned there as well. 1t
was subsequently carried out in action,
dealing death to the bear. and giving
sufficient reason for the large consump-
tion of New England rum. But the bears
are gone with the forests. and the old
Anclover Church is gone also. A chance
spark from an oil lantern set fire to the
jackson barn. The fire could be i'll
fought with only the bucket from the
old well-swccp and milk pals to carry
water it. So the flames spread, and the
high winds blew them across the road
to the old wooden church, and all were
destroyed together, and only cellar
wall and few half-burned bricks mark
the spot where so many dull happy Sun
days were spent. t.-Congregational Re-

haunted.
And now, when the visions of childhood are

A half.startled awe in my memory fingers,
As kneel by chest that times ravage defies,
And raise up the lid to discover the prize
That lightly lift with IRE ev'rent young fingers.
How fancy doth conjure the scenes OF past

AS the old.fashioncd garments are brought to
my gaze,
These robes that outlnsted the fair forms that
wore them
Tho long they have slept in n slumbcr secure,
1 see the young grandmothcrs, proud and de,
mure,
And the grandfathcis powdered perukcs bent
before them.
These little blue slippers, with faded rosette
Have gracefully paced thro' some slow minuet,
And merrily danced thro' the fceting night
hours.
And this sillsen ball gowr, so dain.ily laced,
/ wonder who owned that diminutive waist,
a I'd covered it with such impossible flowersg
These long, sweeping pumes, in fashion that's

head;

suing.
And here, in paper tied round with band,
Is flower that crumbes to dust in my hand
And with faint, faded lines is the paper traced
over;
What secret Of lover, or lost or untrue,
Has it kept thro' century safely for you?
I'll softly replace, nor seek to discover.
I will put back the garments my hand has dis.
closed
In the chest where century or more they've
reposed,
Perchance when this heart hath forgotten all
passions
Some daring young hand like my own may

mother wore,
And smile as she looks at the funny old fashions.

A SILLY PROPOSITION.
An English Maria Ge Reformer Strikes
Wrong Lead.

An English Marriage e-Reformcr Strikes a
Wrong Lead.
The suggestion of a marriage reformer
in England that the marriageable age of
both sexes be restricted to twenty-five
| years or less has created a sensation and
has started discussion that bids fair to
rival tho contention over Mrs. Mona
Cards question, smarriage failure?'
1t should be stated that the proposition
is made in good faith, and also that its
author is a married man himself.
Just why this reformer advances a
| theory which he must have known be
| forehand was sure TO be condemned on
all sides does not appear. Perhaps he is
seeking notorietY, or possibly thinks,
like many other apostles of reform that
he has found Truth and is willing to
SOW seed amidst difficulties which shall
bear fruit generations to come, when his
present appellation of crank will be
| changed To that of martyr.
But the discussion is going on in En-
gland with great earnestness, if that
be called a discussion which is argued
on one side only. 1t is quite interesting
to see how tho nation rises in arms
against any restrictions being placed
upon marriage. Bachelors hopeleSsly
welded to celibacy denounce the plan
with the ardor of a youth about to lead
his bride to tho altar They don't want
to get married, would die of apoplcxy at
such a prospect, but like true Britons
they decline to give up any liberty, even
Ii it is useless to them.
The fair sex, of course, is Justly excl
ted over the proposal and those whose
chances of entering the married state
are least are loudest in denouncing il.
One might suppose that the sex which
suffers most from ill-assorted marriages
might look with some favor on scheme
devised to lessen tho evils arising out
of the matrimonial state, but this is not
the case. The only change that they
want is that the deceased wife's sister
bill become n law
There is no likelihood OF any such
restriative legislation being passed. The
marriage reformer has struck the wrong
lead. A law requiring every one to be
married before attaining twenty-five
years would be much more popular
Human experience has shown that all
Legislation of this kind has been at
tended with the worst possible results
Marriage, the most important step OF
every persons lie. is beyond Legislative
control, and although the world can fur
nish many examples of ill-assorted mar
riages, 1T can point with great satisfac
tion to the fact that most of them result
as happily rs If, according to the provcrb
they had been made in heaven.

Listening to the MoekIng Birds.

A writer who has recently visited the
tho Bridal Veil Falls in the Yosemite
Valley, thus speaks of the mocking birds
found in that vicinity: "Alillions OF
brown-coated birds there were every
where, until the whole of our very ma
tures sseemed permeatcd with theirmusic.
Sometimes low and sweet, again sad and
plaintive, and then, full, rich and tri
umphant like p@an of JOY and glad
ness, whilo we looked at each othv. in
wondering silence. just as it seemed
that the melody was unsupportably
sweet, and that our hearts could not
contain more without the relief of tears
or shouts, the wind died away and the
water again struck with an awesou
roar into its rocky hollow with force
that made the earth tremble, and was
again lashed to furious foam and tho
song of the mocking bird hushed. Thus
~ goes on ever and ever, alternately,
and has for ages, the song of tho birds
and the taundorous reverberation Of the

POROUS WATERPRooFING.
An Effective Way of Excluding Water ant
Admitting Air.


A porous waterproof cloth is tho best
for outer garments during wet weather
for those whose duties or labor cause
them them to perspire freely. The best
way for preparing such cloth is by the
process adopted for the tunics of the
French soldiers during the Crimean war.
1t is as follows:
Take two and half pounds of alum
and dissolve it in ten gallons of boiling
water; then in separate vessel dissolve
the same quantity of sugar of lead in
ten gallons of water and mix the two
solutions Tho cloth is now we'll
of it is penetrated, then it is squeezed
and dried in the air or in a warm apart
ment, then washed in cold water and
dried again, when it is tit for use.
If necessary the cloth may be dipped
in the liquid and dried twice before be-
ing washed. The liquid appears curdled
when the alum and lead solutions are
mixed together. This is the result of
double decomposition, the sulphate of
lead, which is an insoluble salt, being
formed. The sulphate of lead is taken
up in the pores of the cloth, and 1t is
unaffected by rains or moisture, and yet
it does not render tho cloth air-tight.
Such cloth is also partly uninfiammablc.
A solu tion of alum itself will render
cloth, prepared as described, partially
waterproof, but it is not so good as the
sulphate OF lead. Such cloth-cotton or
woolen-sheds rain like the feathers on

about twcnty cents per pound, and

but any way, the process will be found
to be sufficiently inexpensive and ef-
