Or public places where the commonweal Gathers tlje town folk; up and down his name Is sjmke of in as various ways of speech As are the voices various souudlnj; it; Gruff throated bass, shrill treble Of old age.

For me, give me the man that Horace loved. Who deemed it wise to fool when seasonable.” A tiny one who oft had found great store Of sweetmeats iu his hand, and, prized far less. Great store of tenderness within his heart “Oh, w on’t be come to see us any more?” His surpliced pastor, tiouud to save tiis soul, Balanced a bit by inconsistencies He ll ought he saw, in private to his wife "Alas, poor soul’ if only lie had grasped That matter of the creed and made us sure! Out then his heart was right, and God is good." And one, a woman, who had found his arms An all protecting shelter through tong years, Said naught, hut kissed the tokens tie had left. And dreamt of heaven for his sake alone Meanwhile, what was this man. and what his place?

Diligent Searcher* of the Scripture* Who Have Verified Many Landmark* Over looked by Antiquarians—The Rebuild ing of Jerusalem. Together with bits of stone and like relics, which 1 threw into my valise, 1 gathered a few bits of information, which may not prove old. of this Palestine, ashen in physical aspect as morally its life seems reduced to ashes. What made Jerusalem itself most in teresting was the information given us by a sect of Christians whom we, in our explorations, chanced to stumble upon. In searching the Scriptures they have verified many landmarks overlooked by even antiquarians. One of these places were the wine presses of Solomon, which the government was beginning to have cut away for building purposes. These not only are located as indicated in the Bible, and indisputably like all the wine presses found in the country (cut out of solid rock with various vats for the wine in its successive stages, with channels of Ingress and egress from one vat to an other). but are too immense in scale, and have too tremendous a cistern to have been the property of any private indi vidual. These, through their influence, are now In the hands of the Antiquarian society of Jerusalem, and are thus pre ferred from further harm. Close at hand to these are the quarries of Solomon. What a wonderful climate is this, that time does not alter the freshness of the rock. The grooves made by the chisel, as the last block was hewn from its place centuries ago, show the incision of the tool as freshly as if cut but yesterday. Even thus the rocky chambers In the tonibsof the kings and judges show slight signs of decay, so hard and sharp are the edges. The catacombs of Borne, com pared to these of modern build, appear ruinously old. In a long donkey ride around the city these people (K)inted to literal fulfill ments of prophecies concerning the re building of Jerusalem. In this they have perfect faith. A RELIGION OF LOVE. Ilow can I explain to you our impres sions of this people as their lives and aims were unfolded to us? They are a society of now twenty-six people, young and old, unmarried and with families, who. viewed as fanatics, left Chicago some five years ago. They were a peo ple to whom their church life soemed cold aud barren, anil in a bond of com mon feeling met often in private to com mune on things spiritual. Aftor a time they felt called of God, as they express it, to go where they could lead a life of pure seeking, feeling they would thus be preparing themselves for some work In the future for others. People of cul ture, used to all the luxuries of refined society, they left friends and came, by pssp *kkim to common senaa or the money Roe* with it. So, with very little, arrirwi at a *4 Vol. 1.

For two or three years they were subject to gross misrepresentations of the worst sort—our own consul, for some unaccountable reason, doing much to damage them in America. They took no name, have no creed, do not prose lyte. abide by no laws peculiar to them selves, but simply search the Scriptures hourly for guidance to abide by the sum ming up of all doctrines: “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself.’’ They do their own household work, and, during that time, if any one wishes help or guidance for anything, they drop everything until they have met and prayed, when they resume their occupa tions. They labor outside for pay, if, after praying over it, they are led to do so, but nothing must interfere with their spiritual life. They claim no mission, but daily work has come to them, minis tering to the rich and poor alike, receiv ing nothing in return. They have never wanted for the bare necessities of life. They speak the truth to eaeli other, and, as one of the ladies told me, the constant friction of different dispositions is what makes it a life of discipline. Some hare come to them attracted by their peaceful life, but there is no glamour about it, no rigidity to attract ascetics, no rites and ceremonies embellishing the simple life of trutli to attract the sentimental. They labor now on the precept: “First take I away the beam that is in thine own eye, and then thou shall see clearly to take out the mole that is in thy brother’s eye." Though they do not preach, their daily living and communication with their neighbors iiave drawn many Mo hammedans, Greeks and even Jews to learn of their simple religion of love. REBUILDING OF JERUSALEM. They fully believe that the rebuilding of Jerusalem is at hand; that the prophe cies, which by many people are consid ered symbolic of the coming of the heav enly kingdom, apply to Jerusalem of to day. Certainly, consulting certain pre dictions of the Old Testament, as found in Jeremiah xxxi. 88-40, and Zechariah xiv, 10. 11, where even landmarks of the new city are cited, just there anti no where else are the new buildings going up of Jews anti Mohammedans. Among those who have returned to Jerusalem are 500Gadites. bringing with them their ancient scrolls proving them to Ik* of the twelve trilies of Israel, who, during one of the political dispersions of the Jews, settled about the Persian Gulf, 940 M. C. Silversmiths by trade', their workmanship proved too crude for the market, and so for a long while they were in great distress. Our American colonists helped them for several months, and finally they worked themselves up to the market and refused help, showing them to tie honest and industrious. — £L II. K. in Boston Herald. i YYhat Piano* Cost. One of the most profound mysteries in the history of every day life in America is the cost of a piano. Apparently no two men ever pay the same eurn for pianos which are similar in scheduled price and every detail of workmanship, and the manner in which prises ar» scaled down would astonish the manager of an Eng lish dry goods house. Grand pianos, which appear in the catalogue to cost $1,500, can be had at the ware rooms for altout $1,200, and, if the purchaser says he is a professional musician, for $100 or $200 less. Then there are enormous discount* for cash, which bring the price down to about $800; and, after this, if the pur chaser fights vigilantly, he will, in all likelihood, be able to throw off two or three commissions, so that the pric* would come to him at $500. or even be low' that sum. The inference is that there must be a very large profit on pianos w hen they are sold at the catalogued price—if they ever tire. The expenses of piano ware houses in New York should, by all odds, bo very great; for nearly all of the most eligible sites of Fifth avenue are occupied by firms of piano makers. The writer, by the way, recently saw a remarkable product of the skill of piano makors, in the slmpe of an instru ment which was built to harmonize with the music room of a magnificent house which a well known millionaire has just finished on Fifty -seventh street, The room is uvn.1 in shape, and so is the pittuu. The whole room is magnificent ly fitted out with bass wood, holly and white oak, and these woods were used in the manufacture of the piano case. AU of the cayvings and decorations of the room, which are exquisite, appeared In miniature oa the piano case, and even the stool and Ugs were similar to the general spirit of the apartment. The ooat of tiio cas.» akvne was $3,000. It iqr dictate* one way of spending a largo in* torn a.—Once a Week.
