Instantly the rublerrar ean thun ders of thia under-world are let loore. From all directions come rolling waves of aound, multiplied a thousandfold, receding, and again returning with in creaaing volume, liggering for many aeconde, and finally dying away in sweet, far-away melodies. Theo, when the last faiot sounds have cessed, he agitates tbe water with bis paddle, and asks us to listen. The receding waves, reaching cavities in tbe side of the overhanging arches, break the stillness with sweet, bell-like sounds Some notes, striking the key note of the , rocks, multiply the musical melody; iomt> notes are soft and low; others are loud, almost with an alarming clangor. This music, such as cannot be heard elsewhere on earth, gradually dies away in receding echoes, coming over the waters from far-away hidden chambers. The echo is not such as 1 we hear above ground or in buildings, but n/accession of receding waves of sound, lasting for about thirty seconds and adding »n indescribable melody i to all sounds, whether from shouting or from instrumental or vocal music. —Century. ► ■ , .... ■ —■> The Observance of Easter- “The observance of Easter dates back to about the year 68, at which time there was much contention among the Eastern and Western churches as ' to what day the festival should be ob served. It was finally ordained at tbe I Council of Nice in the year 325 that it must be observed throughout the Christian world on same day. This ’decision settled that Easter should be kept upon the Sunday first after the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, but no general conclusion was arrived at as to the cycle by which the , festival was to be regulated, and some churches adopted one rule and some another. This diversity of usage was put an end to, and the Roman rule making Easter the first Sunday alter the fourteenth day of the calendar , moon was established in England in . 669. After nine centuries a discrepan cy in the keeping of Easier was caused by the authorities of tbs English Church declining to adopt tbe reforma- I tior of the Gregorian Calendar in 1582. The difference was settled in 1752 by the adoption of the rule which makes Easter Day always the first Sunday after the full moon which appears on or next after the twenty-first day of March. If the full moon happens up on a Sunday, Easter is tbe Sunday after.”—April Ladies’ Home Journal. MOZLBY’S LEMON elizie. A PLEASANT LEMON DRINK. Dr. H.

Bow tbe Ei-Preddrst IMqrtayed It on the 81* tip In Teaa**e*e There is in the city of Memphis a precinct known Pinch, in which a majority of the voters were Irish. It so happened that Andrew Jcbnuon and his opponent for tbe United States senate, Gns Henry, were to meet in joint de bate in this precinct. The evening came, and hundreds of bl :e Irish eyes were on the two speakers us they ascended the rostrum. Henry opened, and as a bid for the Irish vote he told in -withering terms how Johnson, when in congress before, had voted against a bill for an appropriation to assist Ireland during a time of famine. He himself had done yeoman work for the passage of the bill, while this other man, who was now asking their support, had done every thing possible to defeat it It was a fine point, and the speaker made the most of it, burning before it the lamp of his eloquence until the crowd were wild with excitement. Then Henry sat down, and Johnson got up amid catcalls and scoffs to answer him. “What my opponent has told you is true,” he said. “Ireland was suffering, and I voted against an appropriation for her relief, for the money which it was thus proposed to give away was not mine, but yours; yours because it was in the public coffers. I refused to give away money which did not belong to me, but I went down into my own pock et and out of my own private funds— which I had a right to bestow—l sub scribed >360 to the relief fund which was being quietly raised. How much of his own money did Mr. Henry give? Not a cent He was too .busy trying to give away yours. Now, gentlemen, which of us two did the better part by suffering Ireland?” The effect of this was magical. The catcalls were now for Henry and the cheers for Johnson. Thus the campaign went on, ending in a victory for the ex-tailor, who once more took his place among the statesmen of the land. But his term was a short one, for death soon claimed him. But he left behind him a reputation as a “stump” speaker which abides still upon the hustings down in Tennessee. —Chicago Times-Herald. NEW YORK JUSTICE. A City Io Which a Rival la Not Held In Great Esteem. As is generally known, it is a pun ishable offense in the state of New York for any person to attempt to take his life, although it is not so if the attempt be successful —which makes self murder somewhat different legally from the other kind. As is also very generally known, New York, individually and collectively, is disposed to forever point the finger of scorn at her large and growing neighbor, Philadelphia. Not long ago a prisoner was before a New York judge charged with attempt ed suicide, and the judge, being a man who lived on Easy street, where it was sunny in winter and shady in summer, frowned fiercely on the culprit because he couldn’t understand how any man would want to quit this life until he was forced to do so. “Your honor,” pleaded the culprit, looking into the frowning face of jus tice, “there were mitigating circum stances. ’ ' The judge frowned more fiercely at the thought of offering an excuse for such a crime and said nothing. “But there were, your honor, ” insist ed the prisoner. “The firm lam work ing for informed me last Saturday night that I would have to go to Philadelphia to live, as they were compelled to make a change. ’ ’ The judge’s entire demeanor under went a rapid transformation. “Great goodness!” he exclaimed in a horrified tone. “The prisoner is acquit ted and the clerk will please make out a warrant for the arrest of the firm for assault with intent to kill.”—Washing ton Star. A War Belie. George M. Millington, a veteran ol the Seventeenth regiment, while visit ing his brother, the Rev. Richard Mil lington, at Coonrod, found among the latter’s war relics a poster printed on cloth calling for recruits for the Seven teenth Michigan infantry. The pester reads as follows: “Seventeenth regi ment, Michigan infantry. One hundred dollars’ bounty I First month’s pay in advance 1 Rendezvous, Detroit barracks Fifty recruits wanted to fill up a com pany in the new regiment, to serve for three years or during the war, unless sooner discharged. Recruits will receive >lB per month, with board, clothing and medical attendance, to commence from the day of enlistment, and a boun ty of f 100. Apply to Alfred Abeel, first lieutenant Seventeenth Michigan in fantry. Recruiting office opposite Rath bun House. ” The poster also bears the picture of an eagle, with spread wings, bearing in its mouth a streamer on which are the words, “Michigan true to the Union.” The Rev. Mr. Milling ton gave the poster to his brother, and the latter prizes it very highly.—Rome Sentinel. Hl* Autograph. “You are the celebrated Mr. Chumley Jones, I believe?” “That is my name, sir. What can I do for you?’ ’ » “ Well, Mr. Jones, I came to ask you for your autograph. ” “My autograph? Delighted, I’m sure! Have you any preference as to its form?” “If it is all the same to you, Mr. Jones, I should prefer it at the bottom of a check for >SO, made to the order of Snip & Outturn, tailora You have the bill, I believa ” —Harper’s Baear.
