THE MINISTER'S FAMILY.
A Glimpse of Life in the Years Preceding
the Revolution.

The veneration of the people of New
England for the clergy, and the dignity
of the ministers themselves, in the
years just prior to the American revolu-
| ton, are succinctly set forth, in at least
one respect, by the venerable Josiah
Quincy, of those days, as follows: BE
fore the time of service the congrega-
ton gradually assembled in early sea-
son, coming on foot or on horseb back, the
| ladies behind their lords or brothers or
one another, on billions, SO that before
the time of service the whole space
before the NEE ting-house was filled
| with waiting, respectful and expect
| ing multitude. At the moment of serv-
| ice the pastor issued from his mansion,
| with Bible and manuscript sermon I'M
der his arm, with his wife leaning on
one arm, flanked by his negro man on his
side, as his wife was by her negro wom-
an, the little negroes being distributed,
| according to their sex, by the side of
their respective parents. Then fol-
lowed every other member of the fami-
ly, according to age aid rank, max
ing often, with family visitants, some-
! what of a formidable procession. AS
soon as it appeared, the congregation,
as if moved by one spirit, began to move
towards the door of the church, and be-
fore the procession reached it, all were
in their places. AS soon as the pastor
reached the church the whole congrega-
ton rose and stood until the pastor was
in the pulpit and his family seated
until which was done the whole assem-
bly, continued standing. At the close
of the service the congregation stood
until he and his family had left the
church before any one moved towards tho
door. "-Christian at Work.

A Warrior Bold.

A lawyer gave dinner party, after
which the gentlemen retired to smoke
and chat. All at once he got up, took
down sword which formed part of
trophy, and, brandishing it in the air,
exclaimed:
"Ah gentlemen, shall never forget
the day when l drew this blade for the
first time!'
pray, where did you draw it?" said
an inquiring guest.
"At raffie," was the lawyers re-
joiner.-Figaro.

PALACE OE SILENCE.
The Sad, Romantic Story of a Beautiful
New York House.

new 1Ork house.
There is in New York, upon one Of
the most fashionable thoroughfares, a
magnificent house, veritable palace,
which can never be looked at by the
sentimental woman without a tear COM
ing to her eye, because of the story at
tached to it.
1t was designed and built by one of
the richest men in New York-the head
of an old Dutch family-for the woman
he loved. Throughout the whole house,
which might have been called "The
House Beautiful" were the colors, fur
nishings, ornaments and dainty touches
that were the young brides taste. The
ball room, in which she expected to trip
SO many merry measures, was vailed
and ceiled in many colored marbles:
but the lover himself directed the build
ing of the porte cochere under which
her carriage was to roll, so that, STEP
ping out, she would not be touched by
drop of rain or flake of snow. Every
thing was ready; the horses were paw
ing in the stable, waiting for the day to
come when they would carry their new
mistress out; the coachmen and the,
footman had their big white rosettes at
hand to wear on the wedding day; the
house was full of fragrance for beauti
full flowers were massed to please the
coming mistress, and every thing seemed
to be in harmony with all this thought
full, loving care; for the sun shone
bright, and it was somebody's wedding
| day.
Yes: but it wasn't an earthly we'd
ding, for when, with quick footsteps, her
mother went to wake the expectant
bride, she found her dead. The last
kiss she had given had been to her
lover the night before. The last kiss
he ever gave any human being he gave
to her as she rested in her coffin. But
he lives on in the beautiful house and
does with his great fortune deal Of
good, all in the name of the woman he
loved. The shutters are never opened
in that wonderful house, the carriage
has never been used, no feet have
danced in the ball room; but it and
the solitary man are there as evil
dences of the fact that love can so
completely fill the heart that all life is
nothing without it.-Ladies' Home

REGARDING OLD AGE.

DIR. Holmes Welcomes 1t as a Season of
Peace and Enjoyment.
l was little over twenty years old
when l wrote the lines which some of
you may have met with, for they have
been often reprinted:
The messy marbles rest
On the lips that he has prest
In their bloom,
And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many year
On the tomb.
The world was garden to me then;
IL is churchyard now.
81 thought you were one of those who
looked upon old age cheerfully, and
welcomed it as season of peace and
contented enjoyment"
lam one of those who so regard it.
Those are not bitter or scalding tears
that fall from my eyes upon the ''mossy
marbles" The young who left my side
early in my life's journey are still with
me in the unchanged freshness and
beauty of youth. Those who have long
kept company with me live on after
their seeming departure, were it only
bv the mere force of habit; their images
are all around me, as if every surface
had been a sensitive film that photo
graphed them; their voices echo about
me, as if they had been recorded on
those upforgetting cylinders which
bring back to us the tones and accents
that have imprinted them, as the ex-
tinct animals left their tracks on the
hardened sands. The melancholy of
old age has divine tenderness in it,
r,b; cb on1u tho sad aYnarianppS of lifa
can lend human soul. But there is a
lower level-that of tranquil content
ment and easy acquiscence in the con-
ditions in which we find ourselves; a
lower level. in which old age trudges
patiently when it is not using it's wings.
/ say its wings, for no period of life is
so imaginative as that which looks to
younger people the most prosaic. The
atmosphere Of memory is one in which
imagination flies more easily and feels
itself more at home than in the thinner
ether of youthful anticipation Oliver

1t is a foundry in full blast. The work
men have stirred the fires until the fur
naccs are seven times heated. The last
wagon-load of the worlds swords has
been hauled into the foundry, and they
are tumbled into the furnace, and they
begin to glow and redden and melt, and
in kissing and sparkling liquid they roll
on down through the crevice of rock
until they fall into a mold shaped like
the iron foot of a plough. Then the
liquid cOolS off into hard metal, and,
brought out on an anvil, it is beaten

weapon to reap harvests of men, be-
becomes an implement turning the soil
