of the Dragoman and myself? Do
you remember how the ragged Arab
woman entertained us with a dance
by moonlight for BaeksheeSh, and We
had nothing stronger than lemonade
during the day? All these events
have long since become matters of
history. IS **
We took Russian bath and sat
down to solitary bottle of small
beer, very small, too, this comprised
our entire celebration. We visited
all the subjects of interest in the
city except the winter palace. Our
appointed time by the Major domo
being so far off that we could not
stay. This is a peculiar trick on
travellers.
A ride of 2S hours brought us to
Moscow, and we did up the city in
due time. It was an intensely hot
day when we visited the Krem-
lin, no better day here since the old
Kremlin furnished material for a
bonfire, one day in November 1872,
so hot then that it froze out Napol-
con and his entire army. Three
days and two nights between Mos
cow and Warsaw, and "a hours more
to Berlin proved a tedious ride. 1t
is not necessary to describe to you
the Russian cars and the red tape
process of every movement among
the custom house officials at the
frontier We found ourselves much
damaged by our long ride, and laid
up ten days at Berlin for repairs.
In process of time, we made
Frankfort. Mayence and other cities,
till we brought up at Paris, where
we spent IA days, one half the time
in the exposition. You have not for
gotten that when we were doing this
city in II. some wicked Frenchman
conceived fancy for my travelling
bag, and captured it, with all the
relics and curiosities collected in
four months. | still entertain an
affectionate remembrance for that

thence to Giants Causeway, and
Londonderry in Ireland. Having
spent our money, we took ferry
boat for Boston, via St. Johns, New
Foundland, en- route for Syracuse,
where we again laid up for repairs,
and have remained in dry dock to
this day.

There are families who in add.
ton, to the news, furnished in the
weekly or daily newspaper, desire to
be kept informed of the movements
in the christian and moral world at
home and abroad. The Christian
Union, published in New York,
meets a want suited, to this class of
readers. AS its name indicates, it is
a religious paper, favoring congre-
gational methods and government,
but is not the organ of any denomi-
nation or sect. We know of no pa
per which gives a more compact and
intelligent weekly summary of the
latest European events, and the chief
national movements in the United
States, than the Christian Unt0n.
It treats all denominations with fair
ness: it is this which has helped to
gain for it, the respect of fair mind
ed people. It's editor in chief, Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, who is the sue
cessor of Henry Ward Beecher, of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, N. Y.
The endorsements of the Christian
Union, by distinguished clergymen,
of different denominations, space is
given to but one, that of the Rev.
Phillips Brooks, of Boston, the best
known Episcopalian clergyman in
this country.
81 am quite willing to be quoted
any where, as believing that the
Christian Union, is the best religious
paper, and as advising everybody
to subscribe for it.

A REQUIEM.

Meath silver sands,
In southern land,
On an island nigh to the sea;
Rests the shrouded form
OF my darling child.
All me! All me!
The hooking sings,
Ger her lonely grave,
CAS- he fits through the orange tree)
The saddest song
That ever was heard;
All me! All me!
Oh could but visit,
That sacred spot,
That grave 'twixt the river and sea;
And view the scenes
She loved so well.
All me! All me!
And see her house,
By the river side,
Her roses blooming 50 free;
And enter the room,
Where my loved one died.
All me! All me!
But cruel fate
w it'll its iron hand,
Hath ever its hold on me,
So I'll wait and weep;
And weep and wait,
All me!
Till Father Time,
With his hour glass,
Hath emptied its sands for me,
And then we'll meet
On the other side,
My child and me-

THE NEW POSTAGE STAMP.

The new sostage stamps seem to be
rather backward in coming forward
Boston Herald.
A reissue of fractional currency has
been proposed. But the new postage
stamps tear to pieces readily enough for
all fractional DurpOSeS.-Ph
Record.
Probably the first official portrait to
represent Washington with red hair and
exceedingly forid countenance is the
steel engraving of him now sold by the
government for two cents apiece
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The new two-cent postage stamps are
thin and flimSy and should be replaced
by others. 1t is one of the diSadvan-
tageS of the government contracting
with the lowest bidder. The contract
should be made with the best bidder,
which, of course. would cover good ma
terial and low price.-JohnstOWn Trib-
une.
Postmaster .Wanamaker's twO-cent
stamp will save the people of the United
States good deal of licking-tWo and
one-eighth acres of it, it is estimated, OH
every 100000, 900 stamps used annually.
But his conduct has caused a carmine
blush to appear on the face of the Fa-
ther of his Country, which is pictured
on the stamp.-Scranton Times.
The new two-cent stamps are said to
tear so easily that many are damaged
by the postoffice clerks who have to
separate the sheets rapidly for retail
sales. There are also growls against
the postal cards. and Mr.. Wanamaker
does not seem to have made favorable
impression by these little changes,
whatever he may accomplish with larger
schemes.-Lancaster Intelligencer.
