From a Speech by Mr.. Gladstone at Hawarden.


But peedlework is a great deal more
than common everyday act; 1t rises
yery high indeed, almost into tino art and
if l am to speak of subjects connected with
the means of subsistence, although needle
work in its lower branches is the worst
paid labor in the whole country, yet
needlework in it's higher branches ia very
we'll paid indeed, and to young persons
who are practising or learning needle Work,
what l would advise, do not be content
with practicing it in it's lower forms, try
and learn the nature of embroidery, and
see what you can do in practlclng the
higher forms of needlework. In the first
place. it is an improving process, and In
the second it is a gainful process, and gen :
orally 1 would advise that the people of
this country should give more attention
than they do to raising hand labor OF all
kinds to the excellence of which it ls sus


ceptible. They are too fond of getting out
of hand labor and getting into what they
call head labor-that is to say, getting
sufficiently acquainted with reading and
writing, and castng up accounts, perhaps,
to get into the lower class of clerks. l do
not believe that there is a more distressed
class in the country than that class, and


believe that a great number OF young
people would do Infinitely better for them
selves and for society if they were content
to keep much more than they do to the
nae of their hands and would try to raise
the character of the labor which they per
form with their hands, because-pray
remember this-that a great deal of the
very highest labor is labor performed with
the hands. Look at the labor of the
painter, of the sculptor, and not only so,
but look at great many intermediate
kinds of labor hard labor, which is
strictly all dependent on an excellent
hand. Now, there is great deficiency OF
that kind of labor in this country. Go
into the study of sculptor in London and
you will find that the sculptor, probably
an Englishman, is obliged to have great
many assistants, because working at the
marble requires very much to be done be-
fore the stage of finishing comes, and these
assistants are we'll paid but if you come
to talk to them you will find that in the
large majority of cases they are not Eng

A loving friend of this esteemed clergy
man writes from Richmond, Va, to the
N. Y. Freemans Journal.


Among the glorious dead, Father
Charles Louis Van Queckelberg deserves
more than a passing notice. A Belgian by
birth, educated on his patrimony. he came
out In 1863, amid the horrors OF our late
war. Not till it's fall was he able to reach
Vicksburg. Amid the pestilence that fol-
lows war he began his ministry. The
hospitals were crowded with smallpox
aud typhus fever, and those who knew
Father CHARLES, can realize what sun-
shine he brought to the stricken ones, but
breathing the poisoned air his own eystem
became poisoned with the typhoid malaria,
and four times he was stricken with the
fever. During ten years he battled with
an unfriendly climate, Bishop Elder send
ing him from place to place, always hoping
that he would be able to keep him, till,
finally, the doctors said it WAS hopeless
case, he must go home. In 1873, on his
way home, he stopped in Richmond and
promised, if his health improved, he
would come back to this diocese. In
August of that year he returned, and was
intrusted with the charge of organizing the
male school just then starting; he was
distnctively gentle man, and was greatly
beloved by all who came in contact with
him-he had q chivalrous admiration OF
Virginia and often spoke Of the anxiety he
felt during those sad years of war, as to
| how it would go with us-he seemed to
gain new life in our climate. In the fall
of 1874, he was sent to take charge OF
Martinsburg, and for three years he was
uutiripg in his devotion to his charge, not
even taking the moderate sum allowed to
priests here he spent all on the people
who had been entrusted to him. Bishop
Elder, learning how his health was re-
established and knowing his worth, wrote,
urging his own claim to him and in an
evil hour for Virginia, he left us, going
back last fall, on y to labor for a few
months and fall victim to his love OF
Gods creatures and his sense Of duty

The next day take out the leaves

Coffee culture is very interesting,
and the growing crop is very beautiful.


The trees at maturity are from five to


eight feet high; they are well shaped


and bushy, with glossy dark-green


foliage, and planted eight or nine feet


apart. The flowers are in clusters at


the root of the leaves, and are small,


but pure white and very fragrant. The


small cherry or large cranberry; it


grows in clusters, close to the branches,
and when it becomes deep red is ripe
and ready 20 be gathered. The trees
are raised from seed, and do not begin


to yield until the third year. In Cen
trail America they bear well for twelve
or fifteen years, although, IN excep-
tional cases, trees twenty years old will


bear an abundance of fruit. The tree
is particularly beautiful when in full
bloom or when laden with ripe fruit.


The process of preparing coffee for
market is as follows: the ripe berries
when picked are at first put through
machine called the ''despulpador,"
which removes the pulp; the coffee
grains, of which there are two in each
berry, are still covered with sort of
glutinOus substance which adheres to
the bean; they are now spread out on
large 'spatois," made especially for this
purpose, and left there, being occasion
ally tossed about and turned over with
wooden shovels until they are perfectly
dry. They are then gathered up and
put into the ''retrilla," circular
trough in which heavy wooden wheel
shod with steel, is made to re-
volve, so as to thoroughly break the
husk without crushing the bean. The
chaff is separated from the grain by
means of tanning mill, and the coffee
is now thoroughly dry and clean. After
this, it is the custom of some planters
to have it spread out on long tables and
carefully picked over by the Indian
women and children, all the bad beans
being thrown out. 1t only remains
then TO have it put into bags, weighed
and marked, before it is ready for ship
ment to the. port. On some of the
large plantations this process is greatly
with considerable saving in
time and labor, by the use Of improved
machinery for drying and cleaning the

1t is mere matter OF course that the


first king of modern Italy should be


buried with every imaginable pomp,


and in the capitol of his country. 1t is


said that Victor Emmanuel himself, as


well as many of his family, would have


preferred that his bones should rest


somewhere among the well-knOwn hills


of Piedmont. But the Italians had a


right to insist upon more public fun

other young nations i'm attaching great


Importance TO this question of funerals.


Far away into the remote and almost


prehistoric ages We find the kings and


great men of the earth more solicitous


about the place where they should be
habitations while alive. 1t is not re-
corded of Abraham that he ever bought
either house or land from any man,
either for himself or his posterity to in
habit. But when Sarah his wife died
in Hebron, the patriarch ''stood up and
bowed himself to the people of the land
and cOmmuned with them," that they
should persuade their countrymen to
sell him the cave of Machpelah, which
was ''in the end of his field" The
people answered that the stranger was
mighty prince among them '''u the
choice of our sepulchers bury thy dead;
none of us shall withhold from thee his
sepulcher." Their offers, however,
were not accepted, ond the ''prince"
insisted on paying four hundred
shekles of silver for the cave and the
field, which "were made sure unto him
for possession of burying place. ac
cordingly. 1t was to this tomb that the
remains of Jacob were taken with i'm
mense pomp and ceremony all the way
from the land of Egypt. With the
same anxiety shown by his fathers, the
patriarch had charged his son not to
bury him in the foreign country, but to
take him to the cave of Hebron. The
leave of Pharoah was therefore asked
and granted, "and Joseph went up to
bury his father; and with him went all
the servants of Pharoah, the elders of
his house, and all the elders of the land
of Egypt" All the house of Joseph
also went on this pious expedition;
''and there went up with him both
chariots and horsemen, and it was
very great company" The body had
been previously embalmed by the skill
full royal physicians, and after this pro-
cess, which then took forty days, had
been accomplished, the Egyptians all
mourned three score and ten days for
the father of their savior. As for Joseph
himself, the very last words recorded
of him are his imposition of an oath
upon all the children of Israel that they
should carry his bones from Egypt into
the land of Canaan.


The Sovereigns of Egypt, as they are
the earliest of whom we have authentic
record, were also the most scrupulous
and extrayagant in the choice of their
sepulchers. The enormous masses of
the Pyramids were built up as prepa-
ration for the day of funeral: and al
though we know not yet what were the
actual ceremonies accompanying their
interment, it is fair to suppose that they
were not unworthy of the place and oc-
casion. 1t took sc, 1000 men as much as

twenty years at least to rear the Pyra-
mid of CheOps; and we may assume
that people who had thus been COM
PEELED to labor at the mere material
works would be made to exhibit some
extraordinary spectacle of grief and
mourning when the despOt was at last
laid within his great mausOleum.


: Neither the Greek tyrants nor the
Roman kings were buried with any
great ceremony beyond the burning of
their ashes and the carrying of their
busts in solemn procession. Yet the
same sOlidity in which the Roman
masOns delighted distinguished the
royal sepulchres and as late as in the
reign of Agustus these monuments still
stood on the banks of the Tiber, exposed
to the destructive floods in which tho
