selections on the piano, which were most
excellently rendered and received prolonged

They whispered low: She will pass away.

To the place whore clay Is clay"
When the lido goes out,
Tho time has come when her soul must slip
Its moorings with these earthly ships,
Fer the seal ofsdeath is on her lips,
AS the tide goes out.
N;sy, only to drift to other lands.
Feel the touch OF kindred hands,
Prcss her feet to the golden sands,
When the tide goes out
She may lay her treasures at His feet,
He who made her life complete;
Who sailed away when life was sweet,
When the tide went out
LILO itself must begin ut last,
For them when tho harbor-s,ar IS passed;
And the anchor OF death Is surely cast,
When tho tide goes out
For tho hotsam OF life shall como drifting in,
Beyond the rocks OF doubt and SIN.
And Gods sweet peace shall enter in,
When the tide goes out.

HOME OF THE GENT.

Great Hall In China In Which Hundreds
of Idols Are Huddled.
Five hundred of the Gods of China
are collected in the hall of the house
Of the Genii at Canton. If you were to
ask the most learned and devout
Chinese which is the greatest of these
divinitics, to name a few of them
that arc superior to the others in posi-
ton and potency, he would probably
be deeply puzzled. There is, in fact,
utter confusion in the spirit world of
the Chinese. Such mixing up of au-
thority and attributes among human
beings would result in chaotic and
hopeless condition of affairs. Even
when the great dieties that stand for
the three religions are brought into
the center, the post of honor, and
sometimes another. To-day it may be
Confucius, tomorrow Buddha, and the
next day Laotze.
So in this great house of the Genii at
Canton the images of the gods are hud-
died helter-sl<elter together, the ar
rangement frequently changing, &C.
cording to the whim caprice of the
attendants, and nobody is able to tell
why there should be any change tall.
Some of these images represent the
spirits of the great religious teachers,
or of the emperorS, who are always
deified whether they were good or bad
merely the hedgehog, the fox, the
weasel, the snake or the rat. all of
which are supposed to exercise an inn
portant influence upon human affairs.
They are dubbed "his excellency' on
the printed placards which distin-
guish one from another, and the most
learned scholars are not ashamed, on
the days set apart for the worship of
these lowly spirits, to be seen at their
genuflexions before the images.
Good and evil spirits in this house of
the Genii have equal place and equal
reverence. Why should not the wicked
spirits be humbly entreated. if their
evil passions may thus be Modified and
they induced to visit the misfortunes
they command upon some less revcrent
person? 1t is a queer tumble of the
three potent crecds that have a firm
foothold in China. It is strange con-
fusion of such a multiplicity of gods as
is seen nowhere else in the world; and
the reason of it seems to be that the
great mass of Chinese are willing to
blend in their faith and practice all
the religions that have been stamped
In their own land with the zeal of an
tiquity. By seeming at least to re-
spect all. they hope to win blessings in
this world and the next; and not even
the lofty teachings of Confucius and
Buddha release them from superstitious
fear of the hobgoblins and demons of
Taoism.-N. Y. Sun.
