COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1877. A FAREWELL.] Farewell, dfivs, and mouths ami years; Farewell, thoughts, and hopes and fears; Farewell, old delight and woe; Farewell, self of long ago! In the old familiar place Time sped on at slower pace— Past recall indeed you lie, pays and months and years gone by, Now the old familiar door Shuts us out for evermore! Farewell, house—no more our home! Others, in the years to come, Hither homeward will return— On the hearth their fires will burn ; Children that we do not know Gather round the blithesome glow; Other feet will tread the stair, Other guests be welcomed there. We, whose home it was before, Shall be strangers evermore! Mav be, in the years to come, Past the house our feet may roam— Over all a subtle change Will have stolen ami made it strange, And the house we leave to-day Will have vanished quite away. In the house’s joy and care We shall have no lot nor share; All our life herein will seem Pike a half-forgotten dream. We shall be as ghosts, that come Ling’ring round their ancient home, If our feet pass evermore IS'ear the old familiar door. Farewell, days, and months, and years; Farewell, buried hopes and fears ! Wheresoe’er our footsteps stray, Whether long or brief our stay, Whatsoever good we find. Many graves we leave behind. So, farewell, old joy and pain, We shall never know again! Farewell, all things that we leave ! Surely, life ami warmth must cleave To the house, when we are gone. Can it empty seem, and lone, When the echoes of the years, Hopes and joys, and griefs and fears, Scarce have died from roof and wall? Surely, ghostly steps will fall On the bare dismantled floors, Gliding in at open doors. Flitting up and down t he stair. Will not shadows wander there— Shades more vague than shadows are. Or than ghosts that break death’s bar? Sure our wraiths, when we are gone, Oft will haunt the chambers lone— Come to seek (ah, ne’er to find!) All the years we leave behind! Farewell, house, for evermore! Farewell, old familiar door! Farewell, home—yet no, not so— Home goes with us where we go! —Good 1 Cords. BETIILEIIEH. The Rev. E. R. Hendrix—whose interesting work, “Around the World,” is just from the Press at the Methodist Publishing House in Nashville, thus describes the visit which he and Bishop Marvin made to the birthplace of Christ: Sheep and goats appear in consider able numbers on all these hills of Bethlehem. They are often found together in flocks; but when desired “the shepherd separates his sheej from the goats.” No wonder David was so apt with the sling! Never did a shepherd boy have such opportunity of practicing. Stones, and smooth stones, such as he knew how to use so well, are eve rywhere. While he watched his flocks, using his harp as a pastime by night, he doubtless used his sling by day. Thus grew that muscle that ena bled him to tear the kid from the lion’s month and the paw of the bear. All along here where we see these flocks to-day the son of Jesse led his father’s sheep, and the shep herds were watching their flocks by night when a great light shone round about them, and angel voices sung “Unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which i Christ the Lord.” Down there in that fertile valley lay, perhaps, the field of Boaz, where Ruth gleaned after the reapers. Her Gentile blood mingled with Jewish in the veins of David and his greater Son, perhaps broadening the sympathies of the one, and helping us to realize that the other was the Son of Adam as well as the Son of David. Up there on the edge of the town is pointed out David’s Well. He had often slaked his thirst there in his boyhood. Now, when the Philistines held it, David, burning with thirst, cried, “Oh that one would give me drink of the wa ter of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David, nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord.” A woman at the well drew some of the water for us, and we found it sweet and re freshing. We wonder not at the name given the town of Bethlehem—the “house of bread.” Coming as we did from the wilderness, we were much struck with the evident fertility of the soil. Doubtless these fields, and vineyards, and olive groves, feed a large section of country, many coming from a dis tance to get bread. The town, which numbers some five thousand souls, is the cleanest, most enterprising place we have seen. True, it has the ad vantage of a good situation, and in a relatively fertile section; but there is a fresh look about the place which would indicate that much is owing to the spirit of the people. This is dis played in a number of modern in ventions in the manufacture of differ ent articles. Here were fine displays of goods made from mother of pearl, or Dead Sea stone, or olive wood Some of the Bethlehem merchants had their wares at Philadelphia last year. The women appeared better contented and more modest, while the children in fewer numbers cried “Backshish !” What made the dif ference? Nearly (lie whole popula tion is Christian. In Siloam, and other towns where all were Moslems, there was an air of universal decay, and the children were dirty, noisy beggars, without exception. The type of Christianity most seen here is the Greek. It is by no meaus the best. The Armenian is better, and the Latin an improvement over eith er. Still, while the Protestant may almost blush that much of it is called Christianity, yet it must be confessed that such purely Christian towns as Bethlehem and Bet Jala, a place of three thousand souls near by, are a great improvement over any Moslem town in the country. One feels a broader charity for all who are called Christians, on seeing that the lowest form of true religion is a great ad vance as regards public morals, and the sanctity of home, and the place of women, over the best type of the best false religions. If I felt dispos ed to disclaim the Greeks who danced around the sepulchre of the Lord, awaiting the holy fire, I honor those who have made Bethlehem such a place that a Christian need not feel ashamed that Jesus was born here. The (ireeks, Latins ami Armen ians, all have chapels and convents on the site ot the Lord’s birthplace in Bethlehem, as they have on the site of his death in Jerusalem. Here, as there, a military guard is stationed to preserve order against any possible outbreak of fanaticism on the part of either Moslems or Christians. One sacred spot is recognized by all sects, and all are permitted to visit it and worship there. The birthplace of Jesus is shown in a sort of grotto un der the main cliapel. The place is marked by a silver star, over which burn fifteen lamps, divided almost equally among the Greeks, Latins and Armenians. Within a couple ot yards is shown the manger Where he was laid when the shep- herdscameto worship him. Silver lamps are kept perpetually burning while the walls an* hung with costly tapestry, and the floor is paved with jmtrble. Of course no confidence can be placed iu these exact spot9, and yet there is strong probability that this is the place where Joseph and Mary took refuge when there w’as no mom for them in the inn. The stables of this country are often caves. Over this one there arose in the fourth cen tury a Christian church, which is be lieved by many to be tliat still stand ing, and through which we passed to visit the cave or. grotto. If so, it dates back to Constantine’s time, and its peculiar architecture would indi cate the period when the basiiiea or sacred place for hearing, had not been superseded by the cathedral where the service was mostly address ed to the eve. The old church is built like a‘ large hall, having four rows of columns to support the roof. These are of stone, with capitals and bases. They are nineteen feet high and over six feet in circumference They are so arranged that the preach er could be seen and heard by a large congregation. On this sacred spot the gospel was doubtless preached in in its purity before it became cor rupted into a set of forms which con cealed its great central truth. Another incidental truth of the early belief that this grotto marked the birth place of our Lord, is that Je rome, one of the Fathers, and as de vout as he was scholarly, came hither to live in this cave, that he might be as near as ]x>ssihle to the sacred spot where God became incarnate. The cave where he lived and studied so many years is connected with thetra ditional cave of the nativity, one op ening directly into the other. Of course, there are many other sacred places shown in Bethlehem, such as the Grotto of the Shepherds, where the angels first appeared to them, and the ’Milk Grotto, where a drop of vir gin’s milk fell on the rock, imparting peculiar properties to it. But these idle traditions should not divert our minds from those more trustworthy Here angels acknowledged that Christ was born, and .Satan, through Herod, sought the young Child’s life, and the voice of Rachel was heard weeping for her children, and she refused to be comforted because they were not It is not strange that if defeated then the father of lies should now seek to discredit the truth by foolish tradi tions. —Jonah was a simpleton, or lie never would have been sucked in. —Never leave off a brass chain till you get a gold one. —A little boy inquired concerning the stars : “Pa, what are those things up there—are they little drops of sun?” —A young housekeeper, when her attention was called to a very dusty chair, remarked: “Nobody lias sat down on that to-day.” —“Does Death End All ?” asks the Rev. Joseph Cook.

I’m not at all pleased with it.” “I told the teacher you wouldn’t be, but he wouldn’t alter it.” —A little boy of Des Moines who writes to his “fren Jimmy” that he is going to run away from school and bean editor thus closes his letter: “Tel yore sister Ivaty that I don’t have nothin moar to do with that Jinks gurl, and I am troo to her. I wont git prowd and forgit her if I do be an edytur,nor you neether Jim my’, if yore fokes is pore an onery. Yores Truley, Johnny.’ —A Scottish divine . happened to meet two of his parishioners at the house of a lawyer whom he consid ered too sharp a practitioner. The lawyer jocularly and ungraciously put the question", “Doctor, these are members of your flock; may I ask do you look upon them as white or black sheep?” I don’t know,” an swered the divine, dryly’, whether they are black or white; but I know if they are here long they are pretty sure to be well fleeced.” —The gate of the cemetery opened and two Tittle children came up the hill where I was sitting, and I over heard the following conversation.The elder of the two said: “I wonder if we shall have as nice a place as this to be put in when we die?” “I don’t know,” said the younger, “but I’d rather be buried up here so high than shut up in a dark vault down below, wouldn’t you?” “Why, dear?” ask ed the elder. “Because,” said the little one. “I think I’d be nearer heaven when I woke up!” —Eccentric Father Moody used to be the delight and guide of York,Me., the old seaport town which disputes with St. Augustine the honor of be ing the first city in America. In its ancient meeting house he admin istered his celebrated rebuke to his tardy parishioner, a stately’ English man, who walked up the broad aisle in prayer time. “And, O good Lord,” prayed the worthy parson, “among thy other kind dispensations cure Thy servant who has just entered Thy house of that ungodly strut.” —A wood teamster yesterday had some business to transact with the occupant of a room in the top story of a block on Griswold street, and as he reached the landing of the last flight of stairs his heel caught, and down he rolled, bumping from stair to stair and unable to catch hold of anything. A lawyer leaned over the stairs, as he heard the noise, and shouted: “You’ll strike bottom pretty quick don’t get discouraged.” “Oh, I know just where 1 am, I counted the stairs when I went up!” replied the teamster. As he landed, he rubbed his bruis ed back, and looking up the stairs, he mused: “I counted fourteen steps going up and fifteen bumps coming down.

C. H. WATT & CO. , Neal’s La ml inn;. Fla. Watt & Walker, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL THE BEAUTY OF CRETAN WOMEN. Ugly Homes Outside Made Pleasant In side by Model Mothers and Wives. [From the London Times.] Khalepa, Crete, Oct. 12.—A Cre tan village is a strange looking place. All the dwellings are alike in ugli ness, oblong in form, with walls of rough stone and flat roofs destitute of parapets and chimneys. One or two arches are thrown across the length of the cottages to support the roof, which consists of tenacious clay a few inches deep, laid on pieces of bark and rolled flat—let antiquaries shud der—with the drums of marble col umns. In Askypho the heavy snow storms which occur there make it un safe to carry up the buildings higher than one story, and they certainly have a most miserable exterior. But the comfort within doors de pends at Askypho, as everywhere else, not on on the architect, but on the lady of the house, and the wives of Sphakia rank high among their sex. They are conspicuous for their beauty. Their dark eyes are large and lustrous, their features are deli cately chiselled, and waving tresses tall in profusion from beneath their modest kerchiefs. Their carriage is graceful as the doe’s. But, though possessed of uncom mon personal charms, their attention is by no means confined to the toilet. Everything which their homes con tain is the work of their own hands. The cloth of the husband’s jacket and fez of the wool of the sheep he tends is dyed, spun and woven by the hands of his faithful wife. She it is who makes his garments from the cotton plant which grows before the door; the bright scarf that hinds his waist is from the silkworm which feeds upon his mulberry tree; the mats and tapestries whose bright de signs, taken from the pattern book of tradition alone,give his home a cheer ful air, are the work of her industri ous loom, and many more objects that I am incompetent to enumerate are due to her untiring labors. It was these Shakian women who only ten years ago were with their helpless children hunted from moun tain to mountain, outraged and mur dered. In the cottage of my guide, though the owner was by no means a chief among his people, the table cloth, the napkins, the sheets, all of them homemade, were bordered with Cretan lace, the pillow-case a single piece of the same rich material; the counterpane was so gorgeous with many colors that I did not refrain from* expressing my admiration of it- “Yes,” said my host, “my wife is of a very good family, and knows the old-fashioned ways of weaving which her mother taught her.” The cottage itself consisted of a moderate-si zed room, with a gallery for sleeping in, and two very small ones, of which the larger was the kitchen. The walls were not even whitewashed, an<l the floor was of mud; yet the spirit that reigned there reconciled one to all. T dined with great zest off English plates, which are prized there as much as Japanese crockery is in England; but without wine, not a drop of which was to he found in any of the. seven villages—a significant fact. The wife waited on us, for conjugal respect is strictly enforced, while even suspect ed infidelity is punished with death. It is easy to believe how such a peo ple hate and despise any one, be he caimakam or be he “milordi,” who attempts to introduce the viCes of Western Europe into their mountain retreats. F.J.

The Southern Presbyterian says; “The German Government has taken up the subject of perambulators, and is dealing actively with the question. It has approached it, however, front a hygienic point of view, and not as mere matter of public nuisance. Perambulators are popular in Berlin, and are used for very young chil dren, and are of a peculiar form. They are shaped somewhat like a so fa, move on four wheels, and the i children spend the greater part of the day in them. Simultaneously with their use lias come a remarkable mor tality, or at least a delicacy among the children who use them. Medical men have taken up the subject, and the result has been that the Board of I Public Health has ordered an inqui- j ry. The commissioners met and j gravely inspected a collection of in fants’ perambulators. They were of all sizesand shapes, new and old and of all colors. The age and the color turned out to he a matter of some im portance. Perambulators with us are more generally dark green, or brown or maroon. In Germany the fashionable color is light gray, and the stuffis almost invariably Ameri can cloth. When this gray’ cloth was subjected to analysis it was found to be highly impregnated with lead. More than forty-two per cent of its whole weight was lead, and on burn ing a little bit of the stuff the poison ous metal rolled oft' in drops. The cause of death or delicacy was no ! longer a matter of doubt. The com- j missioners, however, continued their j investigation, and ascertained that i when the cloth is new the danger is j least. It is only when wear or weath- I er detaches the outer surface or skin I of tile cloth that the poison begins to ! act. Then it becomes very active; for ! it enters the lungs with the air that ' is inhaled, and it fills the pores of the skin by’ settling on the face and hands in an impalpable dust. It is to | he noted that these disagreeable qual- I ities are not the property of all Amer- j lean cloth, but only "cloth of that ! gray’ color which is employed so | much abroad for the cushions of : chairs, cabs and carriages, as well as : for children’s perambulators. An j analysis of brown and red cloth j showed the presence of iron and ; ocher as coloring matter, hut which j are of course quite harmless.” COUGH, COLD, Or Sore Throat REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION A continuance for any length of time causes irritation of the Lungs, or some chronic Throat affection.
