COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1877.
SKATING.
PAUL HAYNE.
I chased the maid with rapid feet,
Where ice and sunbeams quiver;
But still beyond me, shyly fleet,
She flash d far down the river.
Sonfetimes, blown backward in the chase,
With balmy, so „ caresses,
I felt across my glowing face
The waft of perfume tresses.
Sometimes a gl e she shot behind,
O’er graceful shoulders turning
A check whoso tints the eager wind
Had set like sunrise burning.
Then, in a sudden onward glide,
She rushed with eve motion,
As wave’s the restless tide
Driv a shoreward fast from ocoai_:
And swift as winged creature sped
Far down the crystal river,
Until the shining form that fled
I dreamed might fly forever.
LOVE TRIUMPHANT.
Home Journal.]
So far away, bo far away 1 I cited,
In the still night and in the busy day;
Hopeless and sad my longing spirit sighed,
So far away 1
So far away ! IJow can that be when love
Annihilates a 1 distance? StroBg and clear;
The glad thought came, lifting my heart above
All doubt and fear.
Now, often ge-ted at my work or book.
Your strong, sweet presence seems to fill the place
I raise my eyes, as if ones more to look
Jnto your face.
And I am gladdenedas though yoH had como
With tonCergreeting over laud and sea;
Now know I surely that your spirit’s home
Is still with mo..
And though I long to see year face once more,
Bong for the hand-clasp, the smile, the kiss,
And know that all of these, till life be o’er,
We still must miss.
Over the fate that bids us walk apart
hove still can triumph, still its watch can keep;
For thro’ all time and space, heart calls to heart,
As deep to deep.

introduce the long mitten, reaohing above
the elbow, to bo worn with evening toil
ets. These mittens are of fine net-work
of pink and white silk, or of point lace,
with a lace ruche, finished by a bow of
ribbon.
The laces of the ex-Etnpress Eugenie,
which have been on exhibition at A. T.
Stewart’s lace department during the past
week, are genuine art creations of a char
acter that has never been produced before
in the history of this beautiful tissue,
and the actual history of the two pieces,
the shawl and dress, is pg romantic and
improbable as the creations themselves
are marvellons. To produce them must
have cost the value of a royal crown.
Cheap Blueing.—One-fouth ounce of
oxalic'acid, one half ounce of Prussian
blue; 3issolve in a qaart of soft water;
then strain.
Tbe Queer IPedicree of Words.
Transylvania Presbyterian.]
A study of the pedigree of many
words which are in daily use would prove
more fascinating than any other kind of
mental recreation. Trench, in his little
work on the “study of words,” has
done mnch to cnltivate the taste for this
kind of investigation; bat he made only
a beginning. The field is inexhaustible.
In this article we propose to give a short
list, to which we shall add from time to
time:
Jet derives its name from the Gagates
a river at Lycia, where was found the
black stone which the French call gagate
or jaet, which we abbreviate into jet.
Pamphylla, a Greek lady, who compiled
a histoiy of the world in 35 little books,
has given her name to tbe pamphlet.
Punch and Judy are the relics of an
ancient mystery play, in which the actors
were Pontius Pilate and Jndas Iscariot.
Dollar is from the German thaler,
which is derived from Thai, the valley of
Joachim^ in Bohemia, where the silver
works were situated that made the coin.
Bigot is from Visigoth, in which the
fierce and intolerant Arianism of the Vis
igoth conqneror of Spain has been hand
ed down to infamy.
Rambug is from Hamburg; a piece of
Hamburg news was, in Germany, a pros
verbial expression for false political rn
mors.
Exhort and yeast are from the same
root, which signifies something boiling
or overflowing.
Gas and gust have the same parentage.
Blue Jeans Williams probably does not
know that the fabric from which he gest
bis name was originally made by Moors
at Jaen in Spain.
The word panic has a curious origin
According to Herodotus the god Pan was
Bnpposed to have assisted the Greeks at
the battle of Marathon, 490 B. 0., strik
ing such a terror into the Persian hosts
that they fled to their ships in perfect
dismay. From that time the Greek word
pttnikon was used to describe nnreasona
ble or sudden and overpowering fear.
Gauze derives its name from Gaza,
where it was first made.
Damask silk wrs first made at Damas
cus.
Tabby-cat is all unconscious that her
name is derived from Atab, a famous
street in Bagdad, inhabited by the man
nfactnrers of silk stuffs called a Atabi,
our taffety, the wavy markings of the
watered silk resembling pussy’s coat.
_“01d Scratch” is the demon of Skratti,
who still survives in the superstitions of
Northern Europe.
Old Nick is none other than Nikr, the
dangerous water demon of the Scandina
vian legend.
Iu the phrase “Deuce take it” the deity
Tiw still continues to be invoked. In
his book “De Civitate Dei,” Augustine
speaks of “quoadam damiones dusios
Galli nuucupant.”
The lemon takes its neme from the city
of Lima.
Loadstone is a corrnpted translation of
Lydias lapis, the stone of Lydia.
The money reminds us that the coin
age of tho Romans was struck at the
Temple of Juno Monieta, the goddess of
counsel.
Care of Canaries.—A little cayenne
pepper sprinkled on a piece of bread is
good for a canary bird who has cold; also
a little saffron in the drinking cup of wa
ter. Salt is also good for them at any
time.
2. To relieve CanarieB of asthma feed
with hard-boiled egg, plentifully sprin
kled with red pepper, and let them have
plenty of sweet apple, also plant some
bird seed in a saucer of earth, keeping it
very moist; when the seeds sprout give
the green leaves to the birds.
In Using Sobap Books.—Dampen one
side of leaf, paste the scrap and apply it
to other side of leaf; place thick blot
ting paper each sid$ of leaf; close the
book and press under weight till dry. A
damp scrap applied to a dxy page w<U
usually draw it out of shape.
A Clean Paste.—Two parts gum trag-
acanth and one part powdered gum ara-
bic; cover with cold water till dissolved,
then reduced to desired consistency with
same. A few 'drops of carbolic acic will
prevent souring.
To Destroy Vermin. — Croton bugs
and red ants can be driven off by sprink
ling the floor with pulverized borax, and
leaving a place for them to get oat; to
kill them, mix borax with sugar, so they
will eat it. For ants and other vermin,
wash the shelves with a strong solution of
borax; then sprinkle the same with borax
mixed with sugar. When whitewashing
your room, add a tablespoonful of pul
verized borax to each pailful of lime.
To Wash Chamois sktn Garments.—
Make thick 6uds of tepid water and white
castile soap; wash garment in it, and
rinse in water containing a little soap.
Rub no (#ap directly on the garment.
Stretch repeatedly while drying.
Skeleton Leaves—They should not
be picked when young and tender. June
and July are generally the best months
to gather them for the purpose. The
edges of thfe leaves should be perfect, also
the ribs and veins, which can be ascer
tained by holding them to the light; some
of the yellow Autumnal leaves and dark
tinted also, with the seed vessels of dif
ferent plants, can be used with good ef
fect in the grouping.
To Dress Rabit Skins.—Sprinkle with
salt for two days, letting it lay exposed to
the air, so as to gather plenty of mois
ture; shuke or scrape off what is loose,
and rub on powdered alum—a couple of
teaspoonfcls for a rabit or muskrat skin
or a pint for a deer-skin; rub a small
thin skin, at the end of the third day’s
exposure, with alum until it is pretty dry.
A large thick skin must be “alumned” a
week. Skins will be white, ami not red,
on the under sido when cured l>y Ibis
process, and make excellent rugs or gar
ments, as no poison is used.
THE 1IAYS ARE GKOWINO
LONGER.
EARLE MARBLE.
Along tbe bright horizon line,
Dividing earth from orient skies,
We look more northward for the sign
Of light ea h morn as darkness dies;
Yon wood, toward which the sun slow creeps,
Will soon resound with chirping song
Thronghout its still and solemn deeps—
The days are growing long.
A week ago tbe sunrise blaze
Left far to shadow north yon spire;
This Sunday morn, the first bright rays
Its belfry lights with gleam of fire,
That, shining through its window, seems
An eye prophetic of the throng -
Of joys with which the vision teems
When days are growing long.
Life’s day is growing long. Wo scan
With curious, hopeful, awe-struck gaze
Life’s dim hoiizon line, that man
Must pass ere treading heavenly ways;
Our sun each day the zenith nears,
We sit iD memory’s realm of Song,
Like diamonds toon will gleam earth’s tear—
Life’s day is growing long.
AS THOU WILT.
HARRIET MXWEN KIMBALL.
It is so sweet to live
My little iite to-day
That I would never leave it, if
I might forever stay !
I sometimes say..
I am so weary, Li rd,
I would lie down for aye;
Could I hut hear Thee speak the word:
‘‘Thy sins are washed away!”
I sometimes say..
The better mood that lies
These moods between midway;
Comes sof-ly, and I lift my eyes,
“Lord, as Thou wilt!” I pray,
And would alway.
Love for the Sanctuary.—The Chris
tian Secretary has this good word:
“It is a sad symptom in a professed
servant of God, when ne loses his love
for the house of prayer aud worship;
when he fails to cherish it as a dear spir
itual home; when light or trivial causes
lead him away from it, or to neglect its
services; for then he may well fear that
the evil one has more influence upon him
than Christ—that this world has a strong
er hold upon his affections than heaven
itself. ‘Lord, I have loved the habita
tion of thy house.’ ”
Whose Pocket Book?—The Christian
Giver says:
“Whose pocket-book is that which you
carry?” said a friend to a business man,
as he drew a well-filled wallet from his
pocket.
“Why, my own, of course. Whose
else could it be?” was the prompt reply.
“To whom the pocket-book belongs
depends on another question. If you
belong to the Lord, I guess the purse is
his also.”
“Well,” said the man, thoughtfully, “I
hope I do belong to the Lord, but your
remark throws new light on this subject.
It never impressed me before as it does
just now, that I am to carry and use this
pocket-book, ‘My pocket-book,’ as my
Lord directs. I must think this matter
out, for I confess honestly I never have
looked at it in the light in which yon
you place it.”
Non-conformist Musical Services.—
Few things can be more significant (a
correspondent of the Pall MaU Gazette
writes) than the musical services in Mr.
Newman Hall’s Church in the Westmin
ster road. Upward of £1,200 has been
spent on the organ, which is not yet com
pleted. It contains among several fine
stops a most beautiful diapason, while
the soft stops of the pedal are admirably
adapted for haimony. Mr. F. G. Edwards
fully develops its powers—Christmas has
been recognized in this chapel in a man
ner which would have horrified older
Non-conformists. The chapel has been
decorated with evergreens and illumina
ted texts, and the hyniD, “O, Jesn, we
adore Thee,” to Sebastian Wesley’s tune
Aurelia, has been used during Christmas
tide. The Psalms in the Anglican calen
dar were sung, and the “Cantata Domi
no” and “Deus Miseratur” were suDg to
settings by Bayley. A Gregorian tune
was used for one of the hymns, and the
ordinary service was followed cn two
nights last week by a service of song
when Gounod’s “Bethlehem” was sung
by the choir, Vincent Novello’s arrange
ment of the “Adeste Fideles,” “Good
Christian men rejoice,” “Hark, the her
ald angels sing,” etc, The tunes used
are mostly those from “Hymns Ancient
and Modern.” On Sunday night there
was a midnight choral seivice.
—One of tho saddest cases *of mutila
ting a beautiful verse of poetry, may be
found in the Nashville American of Sun
day, thus:
Your cosy crib is in tbe corner yet;
I sit and wateli it just as the day is dead;
You cannot press again, my vanquished pat
Its pillow with your drowsy, golden head.
“Vanquished pat” for “vanished pet”—
that beats the Electoral Commission. The
printer who pat np that most have
thought the dead baby was a conquered
Irishman.
The Methodists of Boston purpose to
build a large church in that city, to ac
commodate at least 3,500 worshippers,and
is so arranged as to conuect with the lec
ture room, etc., as to increase the ac
commodate f5,000 persons. Three
or four minutes will suffice to empty the
church, by a great number of well dis
tributed and separate outlets, in the ag
gregate amounting, in case of need, to
more than 100 feet. There are to be ten
stairways from the galleries, the stairways
themselves so protected by brick-work
surroundings as, above all things, to be
free from the contingencies which mark
ed and occasioned the Brooklyn holocaust.
There will be six or eight class rooms,and
the lecture room, independently of its
separate Sunday school arrangements, will
seat from 700 to 800 persons. This new
project is to be most emphatically a
church for the people, a free church, a
most economical church, although it will
be the largest M. E. Church in America,
and a great Methodist centre in this pro
gressive age of church building.
The New York Sun says: “There are
professing Christian merchants in New
York,” said the Rev. Mr. Talmage, “who
have clerks employed in conducting the
merchants of Cincinnati, Chicago, and
St. Louis, throngh the debaucheries of
the great city in order to secure their
custom for the store. There are scores
in New York and Brooklyn, with drawers
in which are kept moneys which the
clerks are to go and get, that they may
conduct cuRiomers through the
slums to secure thoir patronage, aud the
head men of the firm wink at it, and even
demand it. Among all things infernal, I
pronounce that the most damnable.”
