Cling chimney tops, the row of equal
sized, closely-placed windows. Con-
trasting with the plane-space and single
window of the projecting balcony, the
prominent portico, the continued ar
cade, the terraces and the variously
formed and disposed outbuildings all
combine to form that picturesque
whole which distinguishes the modern
Italian from every other style OF ar
chitecture.
A leading advantage of the Italian
style is that an addition can readily be
made at any time, and often with
great improvement on the original
structure. This is strong point con-
sidered with reference to American
building. Hundreds of persons OF
moderate fortune desire to improve
their residences at future period,
and by adopting design of this style
little forethought leaves everything
in favorable state for additions, yet
giving at the same time an appearance
of present completeness.

A CLERICAL sYNoPTIc.

A recent sermon on the question, "Does
Death End Alp" was preached on recent
Sunday evening in the Baptist church In
Dorchester by Rev. Mr.. Vosburgh, who set out
by remarking that from the earliest recorded
time until now this question has been asked
and pondered by all thoughtful minds. The
nature OF the soul Is 80 different from that OF
the BODY that the death Of the one does not ar
que the death Of the other. Outer or external
nature requires but limited time In which to
achieve perfection according to the plan, and
to accomplish the end of its creation the con-
tanned principle Of life can afterward do no
more. 1t is just the reverse with man; his
power of growth is without limit. Life on
earth is but too brief for his needs. He Is
being of limitless possibilities In nature,
boundless growth would mean extinction at
last, since growth saps the strength and vi
tality of nature, whereas, in the case OF man,
mental and spiritual growth means the en-
rlchment Of al. Each truly great soul helpr
to build up the whole world. No particle Oh
matter perishes, but simply changes form
But il death ends all, then something Is de.
stroyed Man possesses individuality; he Is
an uncompounded essence. and II death
does end all, then nature does In his case
what 1t does in no other To assert that he
may live on as force, but cease to live as
person. is not answering the question. The
death of the body does not point to the death
of the soul, and the soul is so entirely differ
ent that it seems to point to another and
higher destiny.

TOKENS OF DIVINE LOVE.


The true lover OF nature finds its lwn
peculiar attractiveness In every season. But
to most people the spring and early summer
Is the specially delightful time OF the year.
It is then that they notice most attentively
the charms and the changes Of the natural
world and find their thoughts directed by
His works to the great Creator OF the uni
verse and Father Of all. Those who seldom
think of God at any other season often find
the flush and fragrance Of the spring
time suggesting Him irresistibly. The
innumerable and wonderful adaptations
OF the natural world to the human race
testify to the divine love. To take but 9
single illustration, suppose the fields and
months In red. The scarlet tints OF the
autumnal naples are beautiful indeed for a
few weeks at time. But II they were red
all summer we could not endure them.
Scientists declare that green Is the color
which best suits the human eye permanently,
and it Is green which the Almighty has
selected to be the principal color III nature.
The infinite, varied beauty of the natural
world, the iav!shness Qi Gods bounty II
nature, also proves the divine goodness
and love- Not merely its coloring but its
diyersities of form and appearance, OF season
and climate, crafty and delight the heart.
world level instead Of mountainous, q sandy
desert instead Of lovely and productive, and
although it could have been inhabited, 1t
could not have been enjoyed as 1t Is now.
But be has lavished beauty on 1t, beauty be-
yond the power of man to delineate or de-
scribe. These tokens of the divine love are
obvious to US all. Surely they who have any
sensitivenpss toward the natural world ought
to be drawn thereby toward God and led to
love him. Each OF us should receive fresh
impulse toward spiritual beauty and fruit
fulneSS.

THE pocroR's RESPONSIBILITY.

There is a grave responsibility resting
on the physician who prescribes alcoholic Gq-
uor. It may arouse in susceptible patient
q dormant inherited tendency to drink. He
may, by authorizing its use during the per-
iod of convalescence, fix habit upon patient
OF feeble will which the latter will never be
able to shake of. No physician who real
ICES this great moral responsibility will be
willing to accept it habitually. he certainly
knows that the best medical authorities agree
that alcoholic intoxicants are rarely used as
O medicine; tha. at best they are dangerous
remedies, and that the less they are resorted
TO the better for both the brain and body, the
better for his well-being, physical and moral.
Furthermore, every physician owes 1t TO
his profession to teach his patients the utter
fallacy of the common belief that alcohol Is
an article of food value. 1t has none what
ever. The use Of intoMcants In any luan-
tity whatever, or at any time, Is entirely use
less and unnecessary. Furthermore, the
continued use Of them gradually induces
structural degradations and functional de-
rangements of the great bodily organs, thus
leading to the gra1est physical disorders.
Alcohol is a poison, and nothing more;
poison which exercises its paralyzing. marco
tizing influence In exact proportion to the
quantity consumed and the power of the con-
sumer's physical system to resist Its poison
Gus action. If every intelligent physician
would thus correct old errors and d1ssem1n-
ate knowledge OF the truth, there would be
q great impetus given to the effort to pulYer
ize the rum power. Toledo Blade.

dozen Constitutions, and the Empire
State has recently changed its Con-
stitution again.
The lines of this original Constitu-
tion of the United States run across
the sheet, and the penmanship is very
coarse. The preamble, which SO many
of you can repeat, is separated from
the text by q narrow space, and there
is no attempt at fancy lettering in the
opening words, as thero is in the
Articles of Confederation. Many of
the signatures arc the same as are
found at the bottom o. tho Declare
tior of independence. The amend
ments, even the very first one, do not
form part Of this original, but are
written upon separate rolls of parch-
ment, and preserved in tin tubes that
stand in the corner OF closet. The
number Of these tubes is greatly in
creased by those that contain the
official ratifications by the States. The
earlier of these ratihcations includes
approval of the Constitution and of
the earlier amendments. Later amend
ments, such as the celebrated Four
teenth and Fifteenth, adopted at later
dates, required separate ratifcations,
and separate tubes.
Twelve States are represented by
the thirty y-eight members who affixed
their signatures September II, 1877,
after q session OF over four months.

lowing order:

RELIGIOUS READING.
"rF CHRIST BE NOT. RISEN"

"If Christ be not risen," then the Bible is
and forever must be dead and meaningless
Book. Christ Is the life Of this volume. It
i5 He who gives sweetness and sacredneSS to
it. Remove Him from 1t. and you would
have very little left. Itwould be like the hu-
man body after the spirit has departed-it
would be cold and dead. The soul of the
Old Testament Scriptures Is the Christ who
would come to redeem a people unto Him
self. The heart Of the New Testament is the
Christ who has come, who as the Lamb Of
God has tasted death for every man, and
who has become the Hr.t-fruits of them that
slept The vitality of the Bible Is derived
from the fact that Christ lives. The many
promises to be found in the Word of God are
of value only because they fulfill them In the
lives OF those who trust In Him. he speaks
to His own through His word. While
upon earth, He promised that His
tion to the lives Of his disciples but that reve-
lation was dependent upon his living. The
believing heart receives help as 1t reads the
many promises Of help; 1t finds Deliverer In
temptations hour as 1t reads OF One who has
promised to aid 1t Is comforted in It's sor-
row as it reads of One whose priestly SYM
pathy is aroused by human grief; 1t takes
courage and presses resolutely on when 1t
reads Of that city Of blessedness, which knows
neither sorrow, weariness, disappointment,
sickness, parting nor death. But all these
comforting declarations have value only be-
cause Christ lives. But "if Christ be not
risen," then he lives not, and these utter
ances, which have been the solace and cheer
of many heart, are meaningless. A check
is of no value If there Is No deposit at the
bank upon which it Is drawn. A promise Is
of no value II there is no ability to fulfill the
same If Christ lives not, then the whole
Bible Is worthless. There is nothing
which gives you the assurance OF help
You cannot turn to it in any moment of dis
tress and say: "Here I shall find comfort"
for II Christ be not alive, you have no assur-
ance that there is any power which can re-
deem the pledges which he made. You cannot
say "The Heavenly Father will do this for
me-" and be confident OF help; for the Faith
erhood OF God has been revealed only by
Christ. II he was so trustworthy that he rose
not from the dead, notwithstanding the fact
that he plainly declared that he would rise
again, you really have nothing to assure you
that there Is any Heavenly Father. You may
speak OF heaven, and the bliss and comfort OF
that place, but "if Christ be not risen," you
are not sure OF its existence.

until the last word had been uttered. Hsl
was frequently interrupted with outbursts OIL
applause.

Resolutions time to do its work. When tha

Cleveland on his opposition to all monetary
heresies was approved.
It was resolved to print Secretary Carlisle's
speech in pamphlet form for free distrbu-
tion, and In connection with this the thanks
Of the convention were extended to the
Sound Currency Committee OF the Reform
Club OF New York for Its good work In the
circulation OF literature bearing upon tho
silver question.
Representative Patterson, who organised
the movement for the convention, was loudly
called for, and made an address, In which be
argued that the interests OF the South lay IN
cultivating close business relations with the
Northern States rather than the sparsely set
tied mining districts of the West. The con-
vention then adjourned.

The Hunming Bird Flowers.

Alletedo Avasisis, the wonderful So
called "humming bird flower" of the
plains of Eastern Turkey, stands
unique and alone among the mary
specimens of floral mimicry that have
been classified by modern botanists,
says the St. Louis Republic. 1t is q
beautiful blossom of variegated hues,
the total length of the entire flower be-
ing about one and three-quarter inches.
As one might imagine from it's name,
it is an exact image of miniature
humming bird. The breast is green,
the wings deep rose color, the throat
yellow, aud the head and beak almost
pure black. The only particular in
which it is not perfect bird is that
the stem gives it the appearance of
having but single leg and foot.

INVOCATION.

The followers Of all the religions OF the
past have practised prayer in some form as
an essential act of worship. Acknowledging
the existence of an unseen ruler over mai
and his affairs, they have addressed that
ruler in words sometimes Of petition, some
times of praise. Many Spiritualists reject
the idea of q personal God, yet retain
the practice of praying to the Great Spirit, or
the Oversoul, or the Father and Mother God,
usually naming such addresses invocatlons.
To others such invocations appear meaning
less, understanding that words must be
spoken to person, not to principle. To
such it appears rs absurd to pray to an i'm
personal being as it would to beseech heat or
cold, blue or yellow, bitter or sweet, to visit
and assist US. It is inconsistent, they argue,
to ask blessings or deprecate disasters from a
mere principle, which they conclude to be
only quality
