An Evening Scene.
BY A I.1TTI.K Olltl. 12 YKA1 8 OLD.
The moon 8:111k to her sntt repose,
The stars phone bright, the sky was blue
The leaves embraced their cherished
rose.
The earth was wrapt in a veil of dew ;
The streamlet stole by on its way to the
ocean,
Carrying pebbles of pearly white—
The waves they kept in constant motion-
And the little stars laughed in their de
light.
The birds had hushed their tuneful voice.
The hees had sought their hive;
No creature seemed now to rejoice,
Yet nature was alive.
The fountains never ceased to play
And throw their waters high,
It seemed as it till night as day
They were talking with the sky.
Oil! what is prettier than an evening
scene,
When the veil of heaven is drawn,
And a silver mist obscures
The first faint light of morn ?

And flowers on the nltar lay,
For this is (lie blessed morning
Of a blessed Faster day!
Down to the tomb of Joseph
1 bir hearts went vester eve,
Hilt to-day with the Lord uplifted
Arc we, who do believe.
Garland the front with lilies,
Lay purity’s emblem there.
Asonce in the hand of the Virgin
Was laid a lily fair ;
And roses bring to the altar
To crimson its snowy white,
While a rubied joy commingles
With to-day's supernal light.
Garland the cup of blessing,

Wo lift with a low thanksgiving
That its wine we dare to sip;
Since He who calls to the banquet
Is Christ, and we no more -in
If with Him we quaff ol the lullnoss
Ol life that is hid within.
And garland the secret chambers
Of the heart with infinite sweet—
With lull derust thought and liolv,
The Holiest One to meet ;
For He that from death is risen
Has promised with us to dwell.
And lilting il is that the fragrance
Of praise our joy should t»-!!.
We in iv not wreathe for the Saviour
A crown that is free of thorn,

Of love, this ginrimis morn;
for our temple of late so gloomy,
Is brig it to .day with His face,
Ami tilled to tile darkest corner ,

Embalming vs. Cremation.
As the progressionists of this day
are considering the “ancient funeral
rites,” evidently of the opinion that
our present system of interment of the
dead does not keep peace with our
usual scientific advancements, we pro
(luce for public consideration (especial
ly the nnti-creniationists) the following
concise description of the “ Brunotti
Process” for the embalming and preser
vation of the dead, and for which weare
indebted to the Jo rnal of Applied
Chemistry. The steps are as follows ;
1. The circulatory system is cleansed
by washing with cold water till it
i. sues quite clear from the body. This
mav occupy from two to live hours.
1. Alcohol is injected so as to abstract
as much water as possible. This oc
cupies about a quarter of an hour.
3. Ether is then injected to abstract
the fatty matter. This occupies from
two to ten hours. 4. A strong solu
tion of tannin is then injected. This
occupies foriinbihi'ionfwo to ten hours
r l he body is then dried in a current
of warm air pissed overheated chloride
of calcium. This may occupy, from
two to five hours. The body is thus
perfectly preserved, and resists decay.
The Italians exhibit specimens which
arc as hard as stone, retain the shape
perfectly and are equal to the best

and strength, and age in its weak

bereaves the doting mother, ex
tinguishes natural affection, erases
conjugal love, blots out filial at
tachments, blights parental hope,
and brings down mounting age in
sorrow to the grave. It produces
weakness, not strength, sickness
not health, death not life. It
makes wives widows, children

them paupers and beggars. It
feeds rheumatism, nurses gout,
welcomes epidemics, invites chol

braces consumption. It covers
the land with idleness, poverty,
disease and crime. It tills your
jails, supplies vour alms-houses,
and demands asylums. It engen
ders controversies, fosters quar
rels, and cherishes riots. It
crowds your penitentiaries, and
furnishes the victims for your
scaffolds. It is the life-blood of
the gambler, the aliment of the
counterfeiter, the prop of the

the midnight incendiary. It coun

Fish Chemically and Physiolo

teresting article. Dr. Wetherbee pre
sents one of the views held on this
subject ns follows: By chemical
analysis it is found that fish contains a
greater proportion of phosphorus than
any other class of animal food, and
therefore must lie considered the
richest “ brain food.” In hndanimnls
the phosphorus is contained, for the
most part, in the liones, in combina
tion with lime, as a phosphate, while
the muscle is rich in filirine. But, on
the other hand, the various genera of

Our Native Wine Production.

wines, in round numbers, is esti

Great Japanese Top Trick.—
To make a top snin on the thread
across the room : and also to make it
ascend a thread, in a perpendicular
line, from the floor to the ceiling, as
performed hy the i 4elehrated Japanese
troupe who visited this country recent
ly, you should procure from a toy shop
one of the French tops, which has a
spring adjustment for winding up and
discharging it when required. Next
take twelve to eighteen feet of fine
sewing thread (Coats, No. 100, is the
liest), and get some one to hold one
end, allowing the thread to deflect
about six or eight inches; then hold
ing the other end in your left hand,
give the thread a single twist on the
peg of the top. A« this is the secret of
the trick, it is necessary to observe that
this must lie donein such a way ae not
to he observed hy the. spectators. A lit-
t'e practice will enable this to lie done.
Then di.-charging or releasing it, you
will find it travel all along the thread.
Care must l>e taken to hold the top
perpendicularly before starting it. The
pe_ r of the top should not he conical,
i.ut quite straight, and about 1—10th
of an inch thick, and 3-16ths of nn
inch long. This is a very pretty trick
if neatly performed.
To niake the top ascend a thread,
fasten one end of the thread to ihe ceil-

(J^A Trov paper gives the fol
lowing sad scene from real life*
One evening, while the audience
was deeply interested in a play at
the theatre, a young child was
observed walking down the aisle
with quick and anxious step. Her
face and eyes betokened weeping,
and even yet the unwiped tears
were trickling down her pale
cheeks. The little one, after
glancing hurriedly and anxiously
down the aisle, darted forward
toward a young woman sitting
near the stage, and bending over
behind her, faltered out between
her sobs, 'Oh, dear,! oh, dear!
Father’s—dead ?” The young
woman, startled by the sudden
intelligence, exclaimed, 'Oh, my
God—my poor father!’ and hasti
ly arose, and, with the mournful
and mourning messenger, left the
gay place of pleasure for the dark
ened clumber of death. The
scene, was noticed by a number,
and for a little time afterword
there was not a murmur of ap
plause nor a sign of a smile by the
audience. As the play progressed
the depression passed away, and
soon the sad scene of real life
was forgotten in the painted repre
sentation on the stage.
A Military Goat.—The non-com
missioned officers of a Prussian field
batterv announce, bv advertisement in
a Berlin paper, the death of a comrade
in Avar—a goat called “Herr Schnei
der.” The favorite had lieen in the
corps since 1864. H" always marched
with the men of the first gun, and from
them reeei\ - ed his rations. He attended
parade, took his place among the non
commissioned officers, and appeared to
listen attentively to the orders.
When the Avar broke out in 18(5fi, he
marched at tho head of the battery,
and AA-as promoted to the rank of
sergeant by the privates, Avhopresented
him Avith a beautiful collar, on Avhich
Avere embroidered the marks of his
military rank. When actual hos
tilities commenced he Atas tied to an atn-

of the state of affairs, his royal high

jocosely, “Let him go; he has orders
to attack the enemy.” Subsequently,

and quality as that heretofore sold.
The large fixed Capital invested by this Company in
this business furnishes the best guarantee of continued
