WITH (LEA LK VISION.
BY CAKEOTTA PERKY.
I saw to-night the man I loved
Three little years ago,
J did not think so short a time
< Y>uId change a mortal “o.
There were none like him in those days,
So strong, so true, so wise;
He had a lofty, marble brow,
And tender soulful eyes.
A voice of music, hair by which
Tlie raven’s wing would seem
But pale indeed, a face and form
To haunt a sculptor’s dream.
But when I looked at him to-night,
I saw no single trace
Of the old glory; onsy just
A very common face.
No marble brow, no sou',-lit ■ rbs;
The face was round and sle.-k
That once to my love-haunted eyes
Was so intensely Greek.
I know full well he has net changed
-o very much. Ah, me!
But 1 was blind in those dear days,
And now, alas, I see.
’Tis very dreadful to be blind,
< >f course, and yet to-night,
I should be happer far, it I
Had not received my sight.
One little thought will trouble me—
I only wish 1 knew
Whether he still is blind, or if
His eyes are open, too.
LIFE IN LOVING.
Ali, lei life be very life, my Lesbia—life in
loving;
They may babble as they will, thegrim
gray;
For their myriad censures of our light love
and roving
Just one earthing sterling is the price to
pay.
i Ah! earth’s suns may set, in surety of re
turning;
But for us. life’s little sun once being set,
Falls the night,whereafter rises never gleam
of morning.
Comes the sleep hath known nor pause
nor waking yet.
Therefore give me kisses; first a thousand
then a hundred.
Then another thousand, and a hundred
more;
Then again—again—again. It were well
our reckoning blundered;
None must tell the tale of kisses that Love’s
prodigals can pour.
The only and original version of the pop
ular song, “Baby Mine,” has been received
at the 0/7 (Utj/ Derrick office. It reads as
follows:
J’ve a letter from thy sire.
Baby mine, baby mine;
lie's coming home, or he’s a liar.
Baby mine, baby mine;
He is now chucK full of wine,
IL* is coming o’er the Rhine,
He had better hide his sign.
Baby mine, baby mine.
He had better come in soon.
Baby mine, baby mine;
I’ve been waiting since high noon.
Baby mine, baby mine;
I am waiting with a broom,
I will chase him 'round the room.
While his nose shines through the gloom.
Baby mine, baby mine.
STORY OF A HERRING.
BY EMILY K. STKINESTEL.
A herring ? Bah !
My dear sir, will you please to take
a reef in your sneer, and give the her
ring a chance?
To be sure, the poor little smoked
and withered object is at best but a
hunger and thirst inspiring mess;
hut if you will follow its career from
The time it got lost from somebody’s
basket until it ceased to be a useful
promulgator of human happiness,
you will, injustice to this odoriferous
and much-scorned tinny, confess that
it really had a mission, and accom
plished it quite as faithfully as that
celebrated whale told of in Scripture,
who found liis terrestrial contempory
so marvellously indigestible—or, to
use the abbreviated hut expressive
slang of modern times, the whale
who found Jonah such a “tough
cuss.” (I trust the good prophet will
pardon me for calling him names, for
it is to he hoped the old gentleman
keeps up with the progress of litera
ture, and he might happen to get
hold of this paper and see that the
people of the nineteenth century
swallow both him and the whale, and
retain them with considerable more
confidence than the fish exhibited
after gobbling up the man.)
However, as a harmless tradition,
the whale may float, for all me; hut,
for a practical yet modest wielder of
fate, give me the herring that “Ted”
Harper found one night as he was
going after his pretty sister at the
Blank theatre.
A deceptive parcel it presented, as
it lay on the pavement, wrapped in a
white paper, neatly tied around with
astring. “Ted” made a grab for it,
with a thrill of joyous expectation.
“Golly! maybe it’s a bonanza!”
he exclaimed, rushing towards a sa
loon window near, and eagerly ex-
aming his “find,” his dirty little
digits trembling with exciting hopes
supposed to be hidden in a bonanza.”
“Dang it! a herring!” Oh, the
disgust, the concentrated disappoint
ment, contained in the kick that
helpless little fish received as “Ted”
flung it from him in the gutter.
“Ted” ran his hands down deep
into his pockets, and meditated upon
the shallowness of hope and the hol
lowness of life generally. He had
not helped Longfellow write his
“Psalm of Life,” but he was the per
sonification of the line:
“And things are not what they seem/’
“Dang it all! he muttered, “if that
had a-heen a million bonanza, me
arid Xeil would a-gone to the Fifth
Avenue hotel and lived like gentle
men, and we’d agone to the Conter-
uent and got our names in the papers
like high-toners—by-Jawg!”
Tii is last explosive evidently meant
something quite foreign to his
mutterings, for he made a sudden
dive after the abused herring, and
wrapping it into a neat parcel again,
Le assumed a mild and business like
air, althougii his eyes twinkled with
some hidden idea; aud entered tiie
saloon.
“Say, mister, buy a ‘blind?’ ”
“A what?” exclaimed the barten
der.
“A blind—a something what’s got
value, and you don’t know what ’ti
tili yous paid for it.”
“Get out, you little vagabond!
None of your smart tricks here!” the
bartender cried, with an angry move
towards “Ted;” but one of the gen
tlemen present interfered, saying
with a jocular glance at Ted:
“Let him alone. Come here, my
boy, and let me peep at your ‘blind.’”
But Ted made for the door, aud
would have escaped if he had not
been caught by the speaker, who
laughingly wanted to kuow what
was in the parcel.
“How shut! I know ?” Ted retort
ed, with the wit of an embryo poli
tician. “ ’Taint no put up job, hon
or bright—’taint!”
“Where did you get it?”
“Found it right outside of this
here door."
The gentleman took the package
from Ted’s reluctaut grasp, lingered
it, smelt of it and with a knowing
smile at Ted remarked:
“Found it, did you, and, supposing
some of us lost it, thought you would
sell it for the reward ?”
“Ye-as,” the young speculator 1
brawled, looking down at the end of
his nose, that he was diligently
scratching, to avoid meeting the hu
morous scrutiny of his interlocutor;
theu added courageously:
“I must go. My sister she’s a-
waitin’ for me to take her home; I
guess the theater is out now.”
“Olt, no, it’s time enough yet for
another act,” the gentleman replied,
detaining Ted by gentle force. “Is
your sister young and pretty ?”
“You bet!” Ted cried with enthu
siasm, “and she is going to be a sec
ond Lotta after awhile. You see,
she ain’t been at it long yet; hut she
gets enough money already to sup
port nte’u her.”
“So you are a pair of orphans, are
you ?”
“I should think so. We ain’t al
ways been poor, neither; but after
mother died father he took to opium
wors’n ever, and nobody didn’t buy
his pictures, and he had no money to
buy paint. Then my uncle—you
know him as plays the three halls
lie got hold of father, and it didn’t
take long to use us up after that.
Teddsaid this last with asolemn wis
dom, joined with a sorrowful compre
hension of his family troubles that
was as touching as ridiculous—touch
ing from its apparent truth, and rid
iculous in its etiort to inviteattention
to the fact that the little narrator was
not of common “scrub stock.”
Ted had by this time quite an au
dience, who became interested in his
worldly-wise, ingenious little face,
and when his first friend proposed
an “auction,” then and there, to dis
pose of tiiat mysterious ‘blind’ the
good natured crowd fell into tiie idea
with acclamation. The bidding be
gan with a nickel, and the fun of
competition ran into shillings very
shortly, and after a little the parcel
was knocked down to the highest
bidder for a dollar and a half.
Ted was simply charmed into open
monthed silence; but when the new
owner—after “treating all round”—
proposed again disposing of it by auc
tion, and played auctioneer with such
advantageous skill that lie realized
over two dollars by the sale, Ted be
gan to think he had, indeed found a
bonanza. At this moment the door
of the saloon opened timidly, and an
anxious pair of bright eyes lighted,
from a closely mufiied face, upon
Ted, and a troubled, reproachful
voice cried: “Teddy, Teddy, what in
the world are you doing here? Come
home this minute !” Ted rushed to
wards the door shouting: “Don’t
scold, Nell; I found a herring aud it
turned out a reg’lar bonanza.” Poor
Tedd ! His exciting “give way” of
the “blind,” created a roar of laugh
ter, ami he was sharp enough to see
his blunder and join in the fun at
his own expense, while his sister
peered into the half-open door in per
plexed anxiety. The gentleman, a
handsome fellow, who first interest
ed himself in the brother, advanced
now to the sister, aud while placing
the results of the herring auction in
Ted’s hand, explained briefly how
Ted came to he detained. The girl
blushingly scolded the boy for his
wicked trick, and added:
“I have had such a fright! I waited
for him until they closed the theatre,
and then hurried home, fearin
something had happened to him. Of
course, when I did not find him there
I started out to look for him, for he
has never tailed to meet me at the
theatre before. I called and made
enquiries everywhere. At last a po
liceman told me a little boy was seen
in this saloon. Dear me, how scared
I was ! Come Teddy,” she said, tak
ing him by tiie hand in a motherly
fashion; “and don’t you ever be such
a bad hoy again, or Fll do something
awful to you!”
“May I walk home with you?”
The girl drew back and her face
flushed, but she met the gentleman's
admiring glance with shy re
proach in her own dark eyes, as she
replied:
“Thank you : I need no company
but Ted’s. x

I am right down ashamed of you
That money has got to go back
Come on ! I’ll wait outside of the
door, and you go in and put it on the
counter. Conte, we are not beggars
yet.”
Ted began to cry quietly, but he
knew there was no use protestin
together they hastened on their er
rand. The girl waited in the shadow
of the adjoining hall door as Ted
deeply humiliated, opened the saloon
and found the same crowd still gath
ered tnere.
“My sister is much obliged, but
she—
Ted’s throat filled and obstructed
further utterance. Laying the
money down, he rushed out and join
ed his sister again. They gained
their home without discovering that
they had been followed.
Tiie following day a large package
was left for Ted and his sister. A
letter accompanied, which read:
Teddy, I trust this suit of clothes
will fityou nicely, and that you will
wear it with credit to your sister,who
takes such admirable pains to make
a fine man of you. The inclosure
she must accept from a sincere friend
to all of her sex who strive honestly
to surmount the difficulties besettin
their pathway while unaided and
alone they battle tor place and bread.
’Tis not the offering of charity. It
is tendered in tiie spirit of a brother
to a sister. Be a brave, studious boy,
Teddy, and hurry up into the growth
of a protector.
Ten ten-dollar bills constituted the
“inclosure.” The letter was signed
“True Friend.”
Poor little Nell! If the government
had opened its treasure to her she
could not have felt richer. She knew
what it was to make the most of a
dollar. The burden of living had
fallen upon her early, and the hun
dred dollars in her lap seemed to lift
a world of care from her mind—coal,
rent, clothing, victuals and these not
considered trifles in a household
which consume so many odd shil
lings; and Nell earned §8 per week,
and here was §100 to smooth the
rough corners of ail their needs. Nell
bowed her head in her little woman
ly hands, and cried as if her relieved
lieart could not give vent to its grati
tude iu any other way.
Ted had got into his new clothes.
They fitted him splendidly. But
when lie saw his sister weep he went
md laid his head on her shoulder
stud began to force a tear or two from
beaming eyes, just for sympathy
aud said:
“What’s the use of crying, Sis?
When all tiiese ‘spoils’ is gone I’ll be
big enough to earn money!”
Nell only hugged his head and
cried the more, saying:
“Aiut it awful nice, Teddy? I
do wonder where it come from?”
“I’ll bet you I can guess,” Ted re
marks, a little uncertain whether to
express his guess.
“Why, who?”’
“I think it’s that nice big gentle
man who wanted to see us home.”
“Teddy! How dare you think so!”
“Ted” thought he had better re
tract, for fear those|new things would
go the way of the lierriug-money ; so
he quickly exclaimed :
“Pshaw! It couldn’t be him, you
know, for he don’t know where we
live, nor our names, nor nothing !”
Happily some mon ths passed; Nel
lie was making progress in her busi
ness. She had spoken some lines
and received the commendation of
the stage-manager, and, filled with
hope for the future, she flitted out of
the stage entrance door to meet “Ted"
ami tell him of her success. “Ted
was there, but he was so sick that he
could scarcely totter along by his sis
ter’s side. He had complained of a
severe head and throat ache ail day,
and now the little chap was com
pletely “used up,” he told his sister,
staggering with each word.
rihe supported him until his legs
refused to support themselves, and,
frightened and heart-sore, she at
tempted to carry him, when he was
quietly lifted front her hold and
taken'in the arms of a gentleman
who had “shadowed” the two from
the stage door.
Nell recognized him with a singu
lar sensation of pleasure, and ac
cepted his assistance with a quiet
“Thank you.”
Ted was curried up into their little
room aud placed on his lounge, the
gentleman saying to Nell:
“Undress him and get him to bed
while I am gone ; I will fetch a phy
sician.”
Ted was utterly unconscious of the
kisses aud tears rained upon him by
his sister, and when the doctor came
he looked very solemn and said
“Pneumonia.”
The unusual noise in the room ar
rested the attention of the people in
the house, and friendly hands min
istered to the moaning lad and gave
encouragement to the almost frantic
sister. Ted’s “nice, big gentleman”
attended to all the doctor’s orders,
and Nell could only look her fervent
gratitude as he went in and out like
some masculine angel of mercy.
Once he stooped over and whispered
to her:
“Trust me as you would a brother
or father.”
“What shall I call you?”
“James Overtou.”
The next night and the following
Nell did not go to the theatre, for she
sat by the side of poor little Teddy,
who would never again find a “bo
nanza,” or witness an auction of her
rings, for lie was dead.
As il frozen with her loneliness
and grief, Nell bent her tearless eyes
upon the silent form, her fiugers in
terlaced iu the agony of her unutter
able sorrow.
“All are gone, all—all—and I am
left alone. O Teddy ! Teddy ! why
could it not have been me?” she
murmured.
“Not aioue, Nellie, my brave little
®. | woman. Let me be your more than
brother or friend, if in time you can
learn to lean Jupon me confidently,
Nellie, here at poor Teddy’s side I
tell you that I have known and ad
mired you for months, have watched
your heroic conduct, have learnt to
iove you. Do not be alone in your
sorrow, dear girl, for your grief is
mine—only tell me that my sym
pathy is not intrusive, and that my
presence is a comfort.”
She gave him her hand, saying
mournfully:
“It seems as if God had sent you.
Tell me here, are you the writer of
that letter signed ‘True Friend ?’ ”
“I am. You will not be angry ?”
“Oh, no. It made poor Teddy so
proud aud happy. He guessed it
came from you.”
A few months after poor Teddy

Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Chicago, February 13.—A fire oc-
Arthur Morton sat in his room in
his hotel. He was a young man six
and twenty, tall and slim frame, with
a face of great intellectual beauty,
dressed in costly garments, though
his toilet was hut indifferently per
formed.
As he sat thus, his door was open
ed, and an elderly gentleman enter
ed.
“Ah, doctor, you are moving early
this morning,” said Morton, as he
lazily rose from his seat and extended
his hand.
“Oh, not early for me, Arthur,”
returned Weston, with a bright
smile. “I am an earlybird.”
“Well, have you caught a worm
this time ?”
“I hope it will prove a valuable
one.”
“I don’t know,” sighed the youth.
I fear a thousand worms will inhab
it this poor body ere long.”
“Nonsense, you’re worth half a
century yet,” cried the doctor, giving
him a gentle slap on the shoulder.
“But just tell me, Arthur, how it is
with Crosby?”
“Just as I told you. All is gone.”
“I don’t understand, Arthur.”
“Neither do I,” said the young
man. “That Matthew Crosby could
have done that thing, I would not,
I could not have believed. Why,
had an angel appeared to me two
weeks ago, aud told me that Crosby
was shaky, 1 would not have paid
moment’s attention to it. But only
think of it, when my father died he
selected for my guardian his best
friend, and such I even now believe
Matthew Crosby was, and in his
hands he placed his wealth, and for
him to keep until I was of age. And
when 1 did arrive at that period of
life I left my money where it was; I
had no use for it. Several times
within three or four years has Crosby
asked me to take my money and in
invest it, but I would not. I bade
him keep it and use it if he wished. I
only asked that when I wanted
money he would honor my demand
I felt more safe, in fact, than I should
have felt had my money been iu a
bank on deposit.”
“How much had he when he left?’
“He should have had £100,000.”
“What do you mean to do?”
“Ah, you have me on the hip
there.”
“An yet you must do something,
my son. Heaven knows I would
keep you if I could. I shall claim
the privilege of paying your debts,
however.”
“No, uo—doctor—none of that.”
“But I tell you I shall, I shall pay
your debts, but beyond that I can
only help you to assist yourself.
What do you say to going to*sea?
A faint smile sweptover the youth’s
pale features at this remark.
“I should make a smart hand at
sea, doctor. I can hardly keep my
legs on shore. No, no, I must—"
“Must what Arthur?”
“Alas, I know not. I shall die—
that is all!”
“Nonsense, Arthur. I say, go to
sea. You couldn’t go into a shop,
and you would not if you could. You
do not wish to remain here, amid the
scenes of your happier days. Think
of it—at sea you would be free from
all sneers of the heartless, and free
from all contact with things yo loath.
Think of it.”
“If I went to sea what could I do?”
“You understand all the laws of
foreign trade?”
“Yes. You know I had a thor
ough schooling at that in my father’s
counting house.”
“Then you can obtain the berth of
supercargo.”
“Are you sure I can get one?”
“Yes.”
“Doctor Weston, I will go.”
Arthur walked from home one
evening to the house of a wealthy
merchant, John Melburne. It was a
palatial dwelling,and many a hopeful,
happy hour had he spent beneath its
roof. He rung at the bell and was
admitted to the parlor. In a few
minutes Grace Melburne entered.
She was only 20. She had been wait
ing until that age to be Arthur’s
wife.
Some words were spoken, many
minutes of Dainful silence ensued.
“Grace, you knowall. Iam going
from my native land a beggar. I
cannot stay longer now. Grace, did
I know you less than I do—or, know
ing you well, did I know you as I do
many—I should give hack your vows
and free you from all bondage. But
I believe I should trample upon your
heart did I do that thing now. I
know your love is too pure and deep
to be torn from your bosom at will.
So I say wait! There are other feel
ings in the heart besides love. That
love is a poor, profitless passion
which puts aside all other considera
tions. We must love for eternity,
and so our love must be free. Wait.
Iam going to work—aye, upon the
sea to work.”
“Alas! must it be ?”
“It must. You will wait ?”
“I will wait even to the gates of the
tomb?!’
“Then heaven bless and preserve
you.”
The ruined youth was upon the
ocean, his voyage begun, his duties
as laborer for his own daily bread all
fairly assumed. Ah ! it was a strange
life for him to enter upon. From the
ownership of immense wealth to the
trade books of a merchant ship was a
transition indeed. But, ere he went
on deck again, he had fully resolved
that he would do his duty, come
what would, short of death. He
would forget that he ever did else but
work for his livelihood. With these
resolves clearly determined in his
mind, he already felt better.
At first our supercargo was too
weak to do much. He was very sick
and it lasted nearly two weeks, but
when that passed off, and he could
pace the vibrating deck with a stout
stomach his appetite grew sharp and
his muscles began to grow strong.
At first he craved some of the many
delicacies he had long been used to,
but they were not to be had, and he
very soon learned to do without
them. The result was that his appe
tite became natural in its wants, and
his system began to find itself nour
ished by simple food taken in proper
quantities.
For years he had looked upon
breakfast as a meal which must be
set out and partaken of from mere
fashion. A cup of coffee, aud per
haps a piece of dry toast, or a season
ed and highly spiced tidbit, had con
stituted the morning meal. But now
when the breakfast hour came, he
approached it with a keen appetite,
and felt as strong and as hearty as at
any other time of day.
By degrees the hollow cheeks be
came full, the dark eyes assumed new
lustre, the color, rich and healthful,
came to the face, the breast swelled
with increasing power, the lungs ex
panded and grew strong, the muscles
became more firm and true, the
nerves grew strong, and the garments
which he had worn when he came
on board had to be let out some inch
es in order to make them fit. His
disposition became cheerful and
bright, and by the time the ship had
reached the southern cape of Africa
the crew had all learned to love him.
Through storm and sunshine,
through tempest and calm, through
dark hours and origlit, the young su
percargo made his voyage. In one
year from the day which he had left
his native land he placed his foot
again upon the soil of his home.
But he did not stop. The same
ship, with the same officers, was go
ing upon the same cruise again, and
he meant to go in her. He saw Grace
Melburne and she would wait. He
saw Dr. Weston, and the kind old
gentleman praised him for his manly
impudence.
Again Arthur Morton was upon
the sea, and again he assumed the
duties of his office, and even more.
He even stood watch when there was
no need of it, and during seasons of
storm he claimed a post on deck.
At the end of another year the
young man returned to his home
again. He was now eight aud twen
ty, and few who knew him two years
before could recognize him now. His
face was bronzed by exposure, his
form was filled out to perfection, and
he was greeted with great effusion
by old Dr. Weston, who would insist
on his staying with him during his
leave on shore. One day after Ar
thur’s arrival he suddenly burst into
the room, and said abruptly:
“Well, Arthur, Mr. Crosby is here.
Will you see him?”
“ISee him? See Matthew Crosby?
Of course I will. He owes mean ex
planation, and I hope he can give me
a satisfactory one.”
The door was opened and Mr. Cros
by entered.
He was an elderly man, but hale
and hearty.
The old man and the young one
shook hands, a id then inquired after
each other’s health.
“You received a note from me
some two yearsago,” said Crosby, “in
which I stated that one in whom I
trusted had got your money and mine
with it, and that I could not pay
you.”
“Yes, sir’” answered our hero, not
knowing what was to come next.
“Well,” resumed Crosby, Dr. Wes
ton was the man. He had your
money.”
“How? What?” gasped Arthur,
gazing from one to the other in blank
astonishment.
“Hold on, my boy,” said the doc
tor, while a thousand emotions seem
ed to work within his bosoj/i. “I
was the villain. It was I who got
your money. I worked your ruin,
and I will tell you why ; I saw that
you were dying. Your father died of
the same disease. A consumption was
upon him—not the regular pulmo
nary affection, but a wasting away of
the system for want of vitality. The
mind was wearing out the body. The
soul was slowly but sureiv eating its
way from the cords that bound it to
the’ earth. I knew that you could be
cured, and I knew, too, that the only
thing in the world which would cure
you was to throw you ou your own
physical resources for a livelihood.
There was a morbid willingness of
the spirit to pass away. You would
have died ere you would have made
an exertion, from the very fact that
you looked upon exertion as worse
than death. It was a strange state
of both mind and body. Your for
tune rendered work unnecessary, so
there was no hope while that fortune
remained. Had it been a wholly
bodily malady, I could have argued

And on the other hand, had it been
a wholly mental disease, I might
have driven your body to help your
mind. Both were weak, and I knew
that you must either work or die.

where my hope lay. I knew that
you possessed such a true pride of in

saw Crosby, and told him my plans.
I assured him if we could contrive to
get you to sea, and make you start
out into active life, for the sake of a
livelihood, you could be saved. He
joiued me at once. I took your money
and his, and then bade him clear out.
You know the rest. Your money is
safe—every penny of it—to the
amount of £150,000. Poor Crosby
has suffered much in knowing how
you looked upon him; but I know
that he is amply repaid by the sight
of your noble, powerful frame, as he
sees it to-night. And now, Arthur,
are we forgiven?”
It was a full hour before all the
questions of the happy friends could
be asked and answered, and when
the doctor and Crosby had been tor-
given and blessed for* the twentieth
time, Mr. Melburne said, “Wait!”
He left the room, and when he re
turned he led sweet Grace by the
hand.
Late in the evening, after the
health of our friends had fairly be
gun to grow tired with joy, Arthur
asked Grace whether he need wait
any longer.
Grace asked her father, and the an
swer may be easily guessed.
“Charge It.”
An oldish citizen who had scraped
a few hundred dollars together started
in the saloon business on Hastings
street a few days ago, and a man
whom he knew and did not particu
larly admire started in the same busi
ness at the same time a few doors
above. There was something of a
rivalry between the two places about
fixing up, and the old man was con
stantly on the watch to see that the
other did not get ahead of him. He
had just settled down to the belief
that he was a long ways ahead, when
in came a customer who said:
“Ah! you’ll have to hang up your
fiddle now. The man above you was
just showing nte his slate. He has
over twenty names on it since morn
ing, and four men have just gone in
there after ten-cent drinks.”
“Ish dot some facts?” exclaimed
the old man, thoroughly aroused in a
moment.
“Y*es, and I’ll bet he’ll have $20’
charged to customers before night.”
“Und I shall haf more as forty!
Vhait tills I runs mit der grocery for
a slate, und den you sthand on der

Gems of the Bible.
TweIvesto»e8 were set in the breast
plate of the Hebrew high priest,
probably as emblems of the twelve
tribes of Israel; on this point, how
ever, opinions differ. We therefore
merely give the names of the stones
as set out in the English Bible. Sar-
dius, topaz, carbuncle, emerald, sap
phire, diamond, figure, agate, ame
thyst, beryl, onyx and jasper. In
the New Testament the twelve foun
dations of the New Jerusalem are
represented as of so many precious
stones. The list comprises the jasper,
sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sar
donyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, to
paz, chrysopraise? jacinth and ame
thyst. The twelve gates of the heav
enly city are in like manner said to
be of pearl. By some the twelve
foundations are supposed to symbol
ize as many apostolic virtues. This
is to say:
1. Jasper—Constancy and firninees.
2. Sapphire—Heavenly thoughts.
3. Chalcedony—Ardent zeal.
4. Emerald—Suavity of manner.
5. Sardonyx—Variety in teaching.
C. Sardius—Readiness for martyr
dom.
7. Chrysolite—Restrained by no ob
stacles.
8. Beryl—Preparednes of mind at
all times.
9. Topaz—Healing power.
10. Chrysoprase—Severity toward
tin.
11. Hyacinth or Jacinth—Calmness
in all storms.
12. Amethyst—Sobriety and tem
perance.
The twelve pearls were said to de
note the superior purity of the New
Testament.
Iu latter times the twelve apostles
were all represented by nearly the
same precious stones as in the forego
ng fist. Thus:
Jasper was Peter: firm as a rock.
Sapphire—Andrew : full of heav
enly faith.
Chalcedony—James: loving.
Emerald—John : pure and gentle.
Sardonyx—Philip : friendly.
Carnelian—Bartholomew: the mar
tyr.
Beryl—Thomas: the doubting.
Topaz—James the Less: delicate.
Chrysoprase—Tbaddeus: sereneand
trustful.
Amethyst—Matthew: the apostle
and Evangelist.
Hyacinth and Jacinth—Simeon :
the sweet-tempered.
A moment’s reflection upon the
examp'es which have been given will
suffice to show not only what a value
has always been placed upon preci
ous stones, but how much they have
exercised the iuiagi nation of men in
a ! ages.

other im P lII *ities strained or filtered from it.
w Bile is the natural purgative of the bowels, and
W if the Liver becomes torpid it is not separated

a* Merrell’s Hepatine, the great vegetable dis-
Ht covery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
W olf from one to two ounces of bile each time

W an excess of bile ; and the effect of even a few

given.

The nexlean Cathedral.
Says a correspondent of the Her-
aid: I must now ask the reader to
accompany me from the Iturbide ho
tel in the City of Mexico to the
grand plaza in front of the National
palace, or residence of the president,
and the great building within which
may be found all the chief govern
ment offices. We are in front of a
curious building, which looks as if
it had as many architects as it re
quired years to erect. It is the Ca
thedral of Mexico—one of the finest
structures on the American continent.
I do not propose to describe it now
because it deserves to be described in
detail; but I will utilize it for the
present to give the reader a view of
tiie city from its lofty belfry. A din
gy looking doorway is reached, near
the main entrance. We enter and
find ourselves at the foot of a wind
ing stairway, constueted in the mas
sive wall. L T p this we mount as if
ascending the interior of a factory
chimney, and the more we climb
the less we like it, for the air being
rare, our lungs work with tremen
dous energy. The summit is reached
at last. We are among the Cathe
dral bells, some of which weigh
many tons and look monsters iu
size. The big one under the cupola
is not used now, because it is feared
that the structure from which it de
pends would not stand the shock of
its vibrations. But oh, what a grand
view we have of the fair city and its
surroundings! The valley of Mexi
co is before us—the lakes, the plain,
the woods, roads, avenues, aqueducts
churches and all—set in a superb
framework of mountains. Below
are the plaza and the courtyards of
the palace. Beyond are Chapultepec,
with its famous castle; Guadaloupe,
with its Church of the Holy Vision,
the military school, the citadel or ar
senal. We are wrapt in wonder at
the beauty of the view, when
“bang!” boom!” over our heads go
the big bells strking three o’clock in
the afternoon.
My companion, who is nervous
and exhausted by the climb, turns
pale, shuts his eyes aud puts his fin
ger in his ears, “Bang! boom!” goes
the bell, like the roar of a hundred
pounder. Another explosion of
sound, and I put my hand on the
solid masonry of the tower. It ac
tually vibrates. No wonder they do
not care to strike the big bell in the
cupola, for, I believe, if swung too
hard it would shake itself off the
shaft, or send the tower down into
the square. The care-takers and hell
ringers live on the cathedral roof, in
apartments curiously contrived in tiie
maze of masonry there. I reached
the ground floor through a series of
narrow passages connecting stair
ways, but I have not the least idea of
tiie plan of these, or where they led
to or from.

Berlin',February 13.—In the lower
house of the Prussian Diet to-day,
tiie Minister of Commerce said nego
tiations are pending for the purchase
of ail the private railways in
Prussia. The purchase of all
private railways in the Empire
was contemplated, but unfortunately
the Federal Government did not con
cur in the project. Prussia would,
however, endeavor to carry out a sys
tem of State railways within her
territory on the basis of the law of
1876. He hoped the Diet would sup
port the Government in this object.
