| temperance abstinence.
Abstinence is the power of re-
training; temperance is the power
OF enjoying with moderation. We
abstain from what is injurious to
our health; we are temperate in
our use of what is good for us.
Abstinence demands self-denial;
temperance requires wisdom. We
abstain from high.seasoned dishes,
spirituous liquors, etc.; we are
temperate in food, language, ex-
preston, manners, etc. Absti-
hence is opposed to the use of
thing; temperance, to its abuse.
1t is a question whether there is
not more merit in exercising tenn
perance than in the practice of
abstinence, since it argues a greater
strength of mind to use a gift
moderately, than to refrain from
it altogether. We may abstain
thru fear or necessity, to be tenn
perate, we must have a well-regu-
lated mind.
To AAtey-To Change.
To change is to substitute one
thing for another; to alter is to
make some difference in one thing
or person. Those persons are
changed whose features we cannot
recognize after a lapse of time;
those persons are altered whom we
have difficulty in recognizing. To
change a dress is to take one off
and put another on; to alter a
dress is to make it in some respect
different. We change our opinions
when we give up old and adopt
new ones; we alter our opinions
when they become no longer in
every respect the same as formerly.
Changes are intensive alterations.
Alterations regard the part;
changes, the whole.
Baybay0us-lnliuman.
Barbarous and inhuman are
both higher degrees of csnelty, but
barbarity expresses positive love
of cruelty, whilst inhuman denotes
the cruelty resulting from a want
of the natural feelings of kindness
and tenderness which are common
to human beings. A barbarous
man takes pleasure in inficting
pain; an inhuman man is needless
of the pain he gives others. Bar
barity delights in cruelty. Many
of the Roman emperors committed
the most atrocious barbarities. In
humanity has no feeling for the
miseries of others. The slave
trade is an inhuman traffic.
To Decypnse-Zo Diminish.
To decrease is to grow less; to
dsniuash is to make or become less.
Todecrease is relative and gradual;
to diminish is positive. To de-
crease is an internal, and to di-
minish an external action. In
addition to which distinction it
may be proper to remark that to
decrease is more frequently ap-
piled to quantity or size, and to
diminish, to number. Things de-
crease when they grow less from
within, or when the cause of their
growing less is imperceptible.
They are diminished when some
thing is taken from them without,
or when the cause of their becom-
ing less is more evident. Water
exposed to the sun decreases in
quantity. A SNOWFALL during
thaw will decrease in size. An
army is diminished in numbers by
disease or famine. Many SUBJ
stances decrease in size by shrink
ing, such as flannel, cloth, etc.

feet long and 125 feet deep. The materials
used in the construction Of the exterior are
red brick. laid in Flemish bond, with orna-
mentation of limestone. The roof is laid in
dark slate. The structure was built by
days labor, under the supervision OF Maj.
John s. Sewell, Corps of Engineers.

sign Is known as the "di-style-in-a ante,
which was used extensively in the old
classic temples. The pavilion consists of
pedimental gable, with massive piers on
either side and beautifully proportioned
Ionic columns in the center. The columns
support an entablature, above which Is a
semi-circular opening. In the center Of the
opening is an emblematic eagle, thrown out
in bold relief.

The design of the entrance pavilion is re-
called at either end of the building. The
portions of the structure thanking the pa

Dignity is added to the exterior design by
the approaches. Low granite steps lead to
a wide platform, whthch is paved in red
brick laid In an ornamental design. In
many respects, the building recalls the BOs-
ton Symphony Hail. which was designed by
the same architects.
