The solemn and impressive flic custom of announcing death by tolling of tlie church hell will soon he hut a vague and distant memory. “The passing bell" has , Itself passed away, and its slow measured accents no longer tell the story of the departure of one more soul. The brief notice in the daily pa per, while it conveys explicit informs tion, fails to give something that the bell’s tolling carried with it. The soi emn rhythmic tones ajvakonecl a mo¬ mentary vibration in the breast of each listener and bade eaclnpnnse for sym¬ pathy and meditation.* Tlie bell ad monished the sinner to repent and warned the thoughtless that time was flying while it spoke clearly and com¬ prehensively and hade nil scattered and preoccupied inhabitants attend its story. The bell's voice is identified with all the deepest and most sacred human emotions. It has bespoken the joy's and Borrows of all mankind for centuries. Is Its vofce to die away and have no part in the life of the future? The wedding,bells ring out no more save In some song or story. The Christmas chimes ate seldom wafted to our ears. The churth bells ring but faintly now and under constant protest. “The cur¬ few tolls the knell of parting day” only in verse. A sunset gun today gives greater satisfaction. The nngelus sounds merely in plctprial form, the fire bells give place to still alarms, the dinner bell is silenced In polite society, and sleigh bells are discarded. Wliat is the future of the bell—that happy silver tongue that has sung out the joys,of all the world, that solemn tone that lias mourned for the nation's dead and voiced the nation’s woes and summoned to their knees the nation s worshipers?—Atlantic Monthly. QUARRIES QF OLD EGYPT. Where Stone For Pyramids of the Desert Wn* Procured. On tlie way to I’liilce and the head of th lnt ea ( tnract a sliort distance south of the . ancient . . Assouan, we come upon quarries which supplied the granite for the columns, statues aud obelisks ! throughout Egypt for many centuries. I An obelisk which we saw lies iu its native bed. It is 05 feet in length, and three sides have been carefully cut, but for some unknown reason it was never separated entirely from the par eut rock. Tlie surface boars the tool marks of the workmen. The grooves In It show that it was to have been re¬ duced at the sides. It was supposed that the stone was split from its bed by drilling holes in tlie rock and filling them with wooden wedges, which were afterward saturated with water, the swelling wood furnishing the power. From illustrations in the temples it Is t-lenr that these great monuments were floated down the river on flatboats and rafts and then carried inland by arti ficinl canals or dragged overland by thousands of slaves, In one cf the tombs at Beni-Hnssan is a picture il Justrnting the process. The great stone ts loaded upon a huge sled drawn by a multitude of workmen. One man is en gaged ill pouring water upc-i the run ners to prevent friction: another stands at the left of the statue and beats time, that the men may work in unison, while overseers, provided with whips, urge the laborers to their task. W bat king desired to extricate this block from the quarry, why It was left here, what It was to commemorate, we can never know. The riddle of the sphinx is solved, but the riddle of the obelisk In the quarry will no doubt remain with ur forever,—Cbautanquan.
