been anything SO indecent or unfair in
any criminal court as was witnessed at
the trial Of Christ. Why, they hustled
Him into the courtroom at two o'clock
in the morning. They gave Him no time
for counsel They gave Him no oppor-
tunlty for subpenaing witnesses. The
rufians who were wandering around
through the midnight, Of course
saw the arrest and went into the court
room. But Jesus friends were sober
men, were respectable men, and ut that
hour, two o'clock in the morning, of
course they were at home asleep. Con-
sequently Christ entered the courtroom
with the rufians.
oh, look at Him! No one to speak q
word for Him. / lift the lantern until
can look into His face, and rs my heart
beats in sympathy for this, the best
friend the world ever had, Himself now
utterly friendless, So officer of the court
room comes up and smitcs Him in the
mouth, and 1 see the blood stealing
from gum to lip. Oh, it was farce Of
trial, lasting only perhaps an hour,
and then the Judge rises for sentence.
Stop. 1t is against the law to give sen
tence unless there has been an adjourn
ment OF the court between condemna-
ton and sentence; but what cares the
Judge for the law? The Man has NO
friends; let Him die, says the judge,

Luxurious Bathroom Appointments.
Immense powder-boxes, as large as .
good sized fower-pot, OF Coalport china
are the latest addition to the bathroom
furniture. They are without covers for
two reasons, first, because the covers
are continually being broken, and Sec
ond, because the newest powder-puffs
have handles which are truly works Of
art. Small carved statues Of ivory or
silver eurmount these pulls and it isnot
to be wondered at that the owners like
them to be seen. Almond meal sifters
are convenient but expensive, twelve
dollars being the price for one OF cut

handles Of ivory or bone, are useful
things, either for the bathroom or to

worth of Towering plants in nv garden.

And summer brooks, half sleeping, laved
The bank-side pebbles, bright and fair,
In vagrant mood he loiJered long
To catch the incense of the corn,
To list the wood-doves plaintive song
On wings of passing zephyrs borne.
He smiled to see the busy ants
AS to rebuke his idle mood
Drag helpless insects from the plants
And cure them for their winters food.
he smiled to see them snake worm,
And tug and wrestle, bite and strain;
To see the victim writhe and squirm,
With never pity for its pain.
"a thousand thanks, sweet ant" he cries.
Grand is the truth thou dost declare,
That man. he shrieks, and wildly tries
To lift both feet at once in air.
With slaps and jumps he loud upbraids
The swarming ants; for mercy begs;
Then swiftly seeks the forest shades
To scourge them from his trousers legs.

is likely to look for his text for that kind
of sermon-begin by saying that "people
didn't fall in love any more" He said:
"There is nothing in what they now call
love, but silly, sickly sentimcntality
You see what allied him; they didn't fall
in love with him any more. And the poor
old duffer, with no more meat on him than
there is on the skeleton of an umbrella, his
blood as thin as vinegar, his old jaws
creaking as he scolded-he thought because
he didn't fall in love any more thai nobody
did.
"The palaver of lovers to-day" he said,
'is like the purring of so many cats"
Why the Preacher Didn't Purr.
Well, he was correct. 1t is the happy,
tranquil, contended cat that purrs; the cat
whose fur is stroked the right way; whose
heart is at peace; whose life is happy as
the sunshine. 1t was the preacher who
probably had to buy shoes for eight boys
and bonnets for three girls, and had to
move every four or five years, who wasn't
purring. He was on the ridge of the wood
shed, yowling at the purring world basking

TIE FIRST PHoNOGRAPH.
How an English Journal Tells the Story of
Edison's Discovery.


Edison's Discovery.
Pearson's Weekly.1
Mr.. Edison carried in his mind for long
time the idea of the phonograph, turning it
over and over, and from time to time jot-
ting down sketches and memoranda con-
cerning its construction. AT length he said
to az old German machinist, who made
models for him, that he wanted a machine
constructed in a certain manner, but of the
use of it he gave no hint.
Now and then, as the work went on, with
out seeing the model, Mr.. Edison ordered
certain changes, which, of course, were duly
made. Finally the German was told to
bring the machine for examination. Mr.
Edison fitted into it a sheet of tinfoil, and
turning the crank spoke into the funnel the
somewhat familiar verse about Mary and
her little lamb.
The German regarded HIM as if he thought
he had gone mad, but when Mr.. Edison re-
versed the motion, and the phonograph
pipingly repeated his stanza, the old man
threw up his hands and exclaimed, in the
utmost astonishment:

In an Italian Opera House.

The populace, in the sense of those not
carefully dressed or particular about any
thing but the music, were in the upper gal
leries. Select persons occupied the lower
row, of boxes. The aristocracy-uniforms,
gold braid, buttons, dress coats, big shirt
fronts, dazzling ties, carnations or roses in
acknowledgements in the second row of
boxes. You can Judge of the proportions of
the orchestra from the fact that there were
80 violins. The conductor flung himself
into his work, and his body followed his
baton every time. The chorus was a multi
tude, and appeared to have been marched
in from the streets with the certainty that
all were singers The voices of the men
were memorable, and L wondered whether
some of them might be of the persons had

streets, not brilliantly lighted; and 1 sus-
pect the italian ''boys'-boys, as we apply

early. Surely it is a wearing, tearing and

He bowed himself off the stage amid great
