the New England Magazine, .that he
distrustcd himself. He shrauk from
the responsibility implied in taking
holy orders. he was admitted to thS
diaconate in juno, in 1859, by Bishop
Meade, of Virginia, and proceeded i'm
mediately to the Church Of the Advcas,
where he preached his FIRST sermon
from the text: Master, what is the
great commandment OF the law?' Il
was like him that he engaged to be a
minister OF the parish for only thrce
months, refusing to engage longer lest
he might not como up to expectations.
Then lie engaged himself for q year at a
salary of Thousand dollars, and at once
set about his work in earnest. His par
ISL was in ono of the poorer parts Of the
city, where it was not cusy for q younr
mar to acquire an outside reputation;
but he was nj once appreciated by tho
plain people who mostly made up his
congregation. His sermons were CON-
ccived in such q vein that lie opened TO
people u new life. He inspired every
body. People said to one another as
they went out Of the church: That

Ephraim's Comfort in Addiction.

A venerable colored citizen on Bates
street was shoveling coal ashes into bar
rel, Friday, and the rising dust had chung
to his features and shrouded his form
He was working near a large pile OF
them, and in his haste he overstepped the
bounds of his physical powers, and slipping
In the mud rolled over in the ashes until
he looked like a wrath.
A man was fortunately passing by just
in time to see the better half of the mis-.
placed colored gentleman rush from the
door and gaze around after her lord and
master.
"Ephrum, whar you be, chile7"
"Chile" didn't answer.
''Fo' de Lawd, whar yo' be, my Ephrum;
oh, whar yo' bef''
With long and melancholy groan Eph-
rain answered from behind the pile of Goa
ashes: "An de 1.awd spoke to de chillen oh
Isrul by de piller OF fire by night an by
an b. de piller Of coal ashes by dag.
Whatfor you come out here a 'sturbin a

Aunt Chloe looked at the ghostly Eph-
rain once, and she said, ''Yo done turned
white and foolish" and she disappeared.

Chinese titles are regarded as species of
office, qualifying the holder to draw pay
from the treasury, but requiring from him
At the same time the performance of GER
lain duties. In our own more civilized
land the peers need do nothing (they need
not throw out the deceased wife's sister
bill), but then neither do they receive any
thing. unless they have the good fortune
to be descended from the merrie monarch
In China title can only be gained by sue
cess in war. No amount of quibbling at
the bar, no brewings, however excellent, OF
draft stout will make a man a peer.
The most persuasive of special pleaders
this backward people would, in the figura
tive language of the third emperor of the
dynasty described as "a bare stick" and,
if they followed literally his late majesty's
advice, soundly drub. Even the makers of
samshoo, the national land nasty drink,
are held in no great repute. You must, if
you would be ennobled, either take town
from the rebels, or what is equally eff
cacious, commit suicide when the rebels
are taking it from you. The Chinese, of
all nations perhaps, have the most vivid
realization OF a future eXistence-for, as a
rule, it is the heroic ghost who gets the
title, his son succeeding him after three
years or so as second peer-Cornhill Maya

swarm of brown creatures with six legs

also contain the white bag or cocoon of a
