VISIONS OF HEAVEN.
Came Frequently to the Devoui .sn Of
the Seventh Century.

Most popular of all the legends OF
the middle ages, says the Gentleman's
Magazine, is that Of the seven years
pilgrimage Of the Irish saint Brendan,
the Sindbad Of Christianity, he who set
forth in a ship with his compartment
seek the Islands Of the Blest upon the
actual seas. Though it is rather the
vision of Barintus the hermit that
dwells in the memory, since it vas he
who lured st. Brendan TO the quest
by the tale Of his own landing with
his nephew or the happy shores.
Eastward in this case also lay Para.
disc, IAN island.' TO quote from Mr..
Barring Gould, wide and grassy, and
bearing all manner Of fruits. wherein
was no night, for the Lord Jesus
Christ was the light thereof" The
two abode there, We are told, a long
while without eating or drinking
"and when they returned to the mon
astery the brethren knew well where
they had been. for the fragrance Of
Paradise fingered on their garments
for nearly 10 days"
Fragrance. light and music are
among the chief characteristics Of
these visions. Ii may be recalled how
these were also the frequent accom-
paniment Of Buddha's transports.
As when. after he had obcycd the call
Of the Unseen Power and renowned
'orth's joys hal he might live the
divine life. the air about him was filled
with falling roses. while music. multi.
tudinous as the roll Of waves upon the
shore, sounded in his cars. Or, 40
when the whole universe appeared to
him like n garden Of fragrant bloc

shone. piercing even TO those very

Municipal Advertisi ny.

In the little Dutch city Of Leiden
the municipality itself manages the
public advertising and so frees the pic
turesque, canal-cut streets from nm
kempt boardings. The city erects at
the principal corners and by canal
bridges boards of neat and attractive
design for public notices. A project
ing top p~reventsthe rain from tearing
or washing away the bills, the boards
are surmounted by ornamental wood
work, and the advertising is thus not
only kept in bounds, but is made al
most artistic.

There has been much specula-
tion as to who would be appointed
president of the cotton factory to
6ll the vacancy caused bs the re-
signation of Mr., Fisher. We vio-
late no condolences i'll saying that
D. A. Tompkins will remain at the
head of this enterprise in the fn-
ture as he has been in the past. A
number of citizens predicted that
A. S. Tompkins, Esq: would be
appointed president 20 succeed
Mr.. Fisher. Arthur, however,
prefers his first love, the law, in
which he is making rapid strides
to distinction.

published in the interest of the

pen of Miss Helen Morris Lewis, a

quently visited here. This article
deplores the loss of the old-tlme
woman who always met their bus.
bands at the door with a smile and
lived at home. But she blames
the men of the age for their loss
She says that men themselves have
called women out Of their natural
sphere of home, by wishing to be
cheered On by their smiles in more
public life. They undertake fe"
| great enterprises nowadays with
out their assistance, and thus
often make vacant the cheerful
hearthstone of home.
