TnY On C,THoMc MOVEMENT The Rev.
DR.. O-good gave a discourse in the Church
Of the Reformation, Brooklyn. recently, to 4
large congregation upon the bearing of the
Old Catholic movement in Europe upon the
people of America. He anticipated much
good from the exchange Of opinions and the
enlargement Of fellowship from the present
Church Congress at Cologne, and he thought
that the assembly would do good deal to
correct the disposition 50 prevalent 10 sur
render the Catholic idea and name to Rome.
which is now a provincial and somewhat OBJ
solete power, and TO restore to all Christians
Of the Church Universal their true title and
dignity lie recognized the great sagacitv,
zeal and devotion of the Roman priesthood,
and thought that our American churches
might learn something from them in point Of
concentration and efficiency. He affirmed
that we are greatly in need of higher or
der of religious teachers, who can bring more
discriminating, comprehensive and far-seeing
Judgment, and more patient, brave and
perseyering temper to bear upon the moral
and religious instruction and discipline of
our people He thought that the dav of
mere sect is gone by, and there is a general
warming for reconciliation and charity. All
Christians shoald try to help this on in their
own way, and he was glad that our America
had such scholarly, large minded and earn
est representatives at the Congress as Bishop
Whittingham Of Maryland, and the Rev.
William c. Langdon, Of Florence.

And muse-while quietly l knit. a

And lovers hinted I was fair,
And of my eyes in rapture sung,
Or praised my silky nut-brown hair.
Twas long ago-yet here l sit Ha
Before the fire and calmly knit.
,Alasi those locks are scant and gray,
The eyes have lost their watching light
The lips that praised have passed away,
And over all has fallen the blight
OF time-and here alone sit


Before the fire, and sadly knit.

Lord Bolingbrpke. in his " Reflections
upon exile" says: "Our natural and real
wants are confined to narrow bounds,
while those which fancy and custom
create are confined to none"


Young men who are just entering upon
life. and forming the habits which are
likely to adhere to them to its close, Will
do well to treasure up in .their memory
these true aud instructive words of one OF
England's finest writers and most philo-
sophie statesmen


Our natural and. real wants are con-
fined to narrow bounds" 1t is surpris-
ing how little it is that is absolutely essen
tia! to mans existence, and, if he will
take an intelligent and considerate view
of life, to his comfort and happiness. In
teliectual enj"yments are comparatively
cheap. The cultivation of the mind.
which affords the highest and the only
enduring satisfaction. can be pursued on
an income quite Insignificant for the sup
ply of luxuries.


Our physical wants are very few, if
we preserve our tastes simple as they
are by nature. To eat, to drink, to ex
ercise, to sleep. to keep warm. and to be
sheltered a small SUM will supply all
these The pleasures which are pure,
aud which tend to our improvement. are
within the reach of almost every one


But the wants which fancy and Gus
tom create" as Lord Bolingbroke says,
are confined to no bounds 1t is against
these that young men on the threshold of
lite should sedulously guard Beware of
luxurious and expensive habits The
qualification of them may cost you much
of the labor and time which, if given to
intellectual cultivation, would be more
conducive to happiness. 1t is easy to do
without that which You have never in
dulged in 1t is hard to leave off habits,
however extravagant and absurd When
you are to decide about adopting a mode
or style Of living. consider well whethe,
it is certain that, without inconvenience,
you will be able always to preserve it.
The only safe rule is to keep your wants
within narrow bounds.

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be 80 is the question. Many a
good girl and boy feel that they cant
behave in the presence of company.
They feel timid, bashiul, and self-dis-
trustful the moment they are address
ed by stranger or appear In com.
pany. There is but one way to gel
over this feeling, and acquire easy
and graceful manners; that is, to dc
the best they can all the time at home,
as well as abroad. Good manners
are not learned by arbitrary teaching
so much as acquired by habit. They
grow upon us by use. We must be
courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gen,
tlemanly and womanly at home, an1
then it will become u kind of second
nature to be so everywhere. A coarse
rough manner at home begets Dit o

A brief letter from Dorchester,

There are in this town two twin

A subscriber to a foreign exchange
asked answers to the following: "Wha
is the best plan of lifting the sods of {
croouet ground and replacing them
after having leveled the ground. Fol
what length of time can the sods
without injury to themselves, be kept
lifted (rolled up)? Give suggestions
as to the form and best way of making
acroquet ground.


To these queries the editor replies
In the first place we would advise now
ing the ground closely, and then, when
clear Of the grass, and soft after rain,
rolling it well with Il heavy roller; then
stretch line, and nick along it reg,l-
larly with a sharp spade or edging iron;
lift and strain it at about q or three
feet, and repeat the cutting; then with
rod of whateve. length you propose
each roll of sod to be, and with a
sloping cut, nick across at right angles
to the previous cuts, insert the spade
and lift the sod rs evenly as possible
of about two inches in thickness, in
rolls, and leave one side out of the
way of the proposed croquet ground.
Then let the SURFACE now barred be
pointed lightly as possible, and made
level as a billiard table. Have mix
turc of very nice, light rich mould and
sand, and, spreading light coat of it
under each course of sods, as the work
proceeds, lay the latter closely and
evenly as possible, taking care they
fit tightly and evenly an the crosslaps.
Proceed thus till the whole is com
pleted, and then, having seen there are
no inequalities or gaping points, roll
well and often. The form of a croquet
ground should be parallelogram,
the length and breadth. of course,
being in accordance with the space of
ground at your disposal. We cannot
fix any length Of time for sods keeping
without injury; it will depend great
deal as to their being where cattle or
any intruders likely to injure them
have no access. Otherwise, except as
regards loss of their ver,llre, they may
remain long enough without injury.
Why not, however, finish the work Off
hand at once? A top dressing of any
light, fine stuff by-and-bye will do no
harm. 1t will improve the verdure,
and fill up any little chinks or Unequal
tiles that may exist.

AYE, be kind to them Ye who have
never felt the bitter pangs of gnawing
hunger, who have never passed through
dreMy winter with chattering teeth and
limbs palsied with cold, who have never
prayed for the sweet forgetfulness of
sleep, to shut out for brief season the
frost whose icy breath struck chill to your
heart and who have never fallen prey
to the canker worm of grief and misery,
which all these sufferings entail, we pray
you, be kind to the poor


Be kind to the poor. Yes, for the
blessing of prosperity which Heaven has
showered upon you, will yield you no
true happiness if others are starving
Heaven has placed you upon earth, and
has exposed you to like chances of want
and wretchedness In Pharisaical spirit,
then, thank not God "that you are not
as other men," but rather with the Publi-
can sue humbly for mercy, and enhance
the efficacy of prayer by charity and
kindness. A satisfied conscience sheds a
peace and comfort through the heart and
soul, without which the immortal spirit
cannot be satisfied. Follow not then
after the selfishness of the world around
you, unless, like Dives, thou wouldst here
after reap thy fate, and view from amidst
thy torment the poor man in Abrahams
bosom.


Be kind to the poor. And well thou
mayst! How many gradations of suffer
ing and want must that heart endure,
which, lacking life's necessities and man. S
friendly hand, lies down to die with a
prayer for that mercy of Heaven which
earth denies. And though faint be the
voice of supplication, and weak the heart
which lifts itself to God, yet will it pre-.
vail with the Omniscient, and be register.
ed above as testimony against thee.


Be kind to the poor. Earth has more
sorrow than her heart can contain, more
of suffering than frail nature can bear.
The widow left to toll and struggle alone
amidst the desolation of bereavement, ap
peals in tones more eloquent than words
for your sympathies and aid. The help
less orphan brought into the world and
left alone by the relentless hand of death
claims your guardianship and protection.
And as you expect continuance of the
mercies and blessing of Heaven, so in this
wise be merciful to others; then shall the
gates of plenty and honor be open to thee
and the pillow of peace kiss thy check
