As our course from Leith was

from the Firth of we pass
p in about thirty miles of tlie

celebrated Bell Rock
on our left. This is one of the
thee most noted light-houses in
the world, the Eddystone in the
English Channel, and the Skerry
yore west of central Scotland,
being the other two. The Bell
Sock took its name from the
beautiful legend of the bell near
tbe Inchcape Rock, so sweetly
told by Southey in his poem en¬
titled “The Inchcape Bell."
Tbe rock is about 1000 by 300
M, and is very deceptive since
discovered at "high tide to the
depth of 12 feet at which times it
was very dangerous before a light¬
house was placed there, which
was finished in 1810.
Now, eleven miles

we wish to go: Torture and

every step." Yet these were our
ancestors both in languages and in
"
blood
Somehow it happened that our
party were the only passengers on
board the “Glasgow.” The sea
was quiet, and we spent the whole
i n a mos ^ refreshing sleep
within our gently-rocking steamer,
The next day we awoke to find
another beautiful day and the sea
a j mos j- as q Xa i e t as a lake. Had
^ no t known better, we might
have concluded that with the re
fining influences of modern civi
li za tion had come also a remark

Nothing of note occurred during 1
day Henderson remained
on deck most of the day, and
seemed to be perfectly charmed
with the beautiful water; and, too,
be may have been studying about
the girl he had left behind at Ed
inbiu-o-h, for we parted with all
our steamer acquaintances there,
Dr. Scomp and I spent the day
mostlv in writing borne and
“catching up" with our “journals.”
The next day was also clear and
pleasant. We had a most delight
fui sail up the North Sea Canal to
Amsterdam. Our vessel being
rather too large for the canal, it
was required to go slowly. W e
were about three hours in going a
distance of 15 or 20 miles; hut this
only made it the more enjoyable.
This Dutch country was very dif¬
ferent from anything I had ever
seen; a good portion below the
level of the sea; without a hill;
divided into square fields, all of
which seemed to be as carefully'
cultivated as a flower-garden; the
fields and 'towns ornamented, as
we]1 as made tenable by

Inside the exposition grounds
they sold catalogues of the expo
sition printed in Dutch, German,
French, and English. Me bought
! one in Fnglish, of course. I say
English, and I believe every one
of our readers would hav e saic it
was English but it was very
am usmg. Taxing it witli ns o
our hotel, after supper we r .
aloud quite through wmen e
neverwould ha ve dODe ^
been printed m . _ London or Exun- Hn
burgh. It seemed to have been
translated from the Dutch lan
guage by a Dutchman by means
of his Dutch-English dictionary,
without any discrimination m the
use of English synonyms, ana fre
| of the words. We read it aloud,
and laughed till our sides were
sore for two days afterwards.
The next morning early we re '
turned to the exposition;
there we could not only see HoU
but we could see it as com- ,
pared with other countries. We
enjoyed the exhibits very much, I
which were too numerous to par-j
ticularize. We thought that Hoi
land showed off to a better advan- j
tage in the fine arts, especially
paintings, than in any other de
partment. We saw paintings by
all the Dutch masters, and very
many by the “lesser lights." We
saw Chinese, Arabs, Australians,;
and other nationalities, each su
perintending his own national ex- i
hibit. There were quite a number
af Australians living in huts, or |
rather palaces, built like their I
best native houses, out of Austra-|
lian cane, bark, vines, etc. There
tliey were living as at home,
speaking their native language,
and employed with their accus
work. One woman, which
we noticed in particular, was sit
ting flat on the floor busy weav
ing with an Australian hand-loom;
she used a sharp-edged stick as a
battern.
Amsterdam is called the capi
tal of Holland; the Palace is there,
but most of the royalty live at the
Hague. The city lias over 300,
000 inhabitants, is 9 miles in cir
cumference, and is semicircular,
the Y. (or Ij), as that arm of the
Zuiderzee is called, forming the
diameter. Over half the princi
pal streets are water, or rather
the centers of the streets are ca
#als, while the wagon and foot
ways are on each side.
The city is supplied with drink¬
ing water by means of pipes from
a resorvoir 13A miles away, and
the supply m not very abundant.
“Water and fire to sell,” is quite
a common sign on the streets.
We left that evening for Ant¬
werp; and though we had seen all
we could take in of the Netlier
lands in one day, we had seen
very little of Amsterdam. We
were deprived of a visit to the
palace; the diamond polishing
shops, for which this city has
long been noted; any of the many
charitable institutions; the art
galleries, and fine churches; the
zoological gardens, etc., etc.
The Dutch at home impressed
me as being very good humored,
kind, vivacious, and cleanly.
Their language seemed to have a
a great tendency towards doub
ling of the vowel a; their word for
street is “straat,” and one of the
noted painters of Amsterdam was
named Aaart. These are just
str 1 of many that
night and put up at Hotel dl de
l’Europe, where we had a pleas
ant nights lest, a flollo-btfnl delightful !
breakfast next morning, and paid
a distressingly high price for each.

LAYING UP TREASURES.
“What brought you home from
school in the middle of the fore
noon, Dick?" said Mrs. Marlow,
impatiently, as a bright-eyed boy
of twelve made his appearance at
the kitchen door.
“We are going to have a picnic
down at the Bend, and Mr. Mor
let us off at recess to get our
lunch ready; I want some of those
nice little plum tarts and lots of
pie and cake," answered Dick in
breathless haste.
“Dick Marlow, do you really
suppose that I can leave my work
to do all this for you? It is sheer
nonsense, and the master ought
to be set adrift for putting such
foolishness into your head."
“Why, mother, all the schools
in the neighborhood have pic
nicked this summer, and the
children enjoyed it you may be
sure, said Mary', looking up from
the shirt she was irouing.
Dick go, and take Jessie along,"
glancing at the little figure at
Dick's heels.
“You have no more judgment
than a child, Mary, was the quick
retort. “Send them down the val
ley a good mile, to tear their
clothes, wear out their shoes, and
eat themselves sick !” *.
“All the other scholars are
going,” insisted Dick, a dark
frown gathering on his handsome
face,
“If other people are fools, that
is no reason why I should follow
their example, a pretty thing in¬
deed for me to quit my work for
such folly.”
“I will be careful of my clothes,
mother," began Dick, thinking of
the new suit in the wardrobe up¬
stairs. But his mother’s sharp
words, “You are not going, sir,”
sent him sullenly from the door.
“Now, for a day of pouting,"
said Mary, glancing out of the
window at the silent pair, wen
ding their wav across the orchard.
“Better let them pout a month
than send them there to ruin their
clothes, and make themselves sick
eating sweetcakes and candy, re¬
torted the overworked mother,
rolling and tossing the golden
butter she had just taken from
the churn.
Mary's bps closed tightly to
keep back the angry words that
were struggling in her throat. In
her heart she pitied poor Dick,
for she understood how great was
his disappointment. “What is
the use of all this worry and work,
tST breath. '
Just then Ben came m, Ins . slow .
heavy Iipivv step tellinp- telling too too nlainlv plainly of of
hopes nipped in the bud.
“It is all up with me,” he said,
dropping heavily into a chair by
the table.
“Then father has refused to let
you go to college after your doing
double work?” Marv queried.
“jfost emphatically he has put
bb , j 00 j. down on this college c bus

« It seems to me that he sets his

to do,” Mary answered quickly.

Jessie hurried oft to tell the sad
,
news at home, and for the next
* ew bour8 nothing was thought
°f in the Marlow home but the
boy who lay so still and white
upstairs. Once, when the weep
j ing mother went to the press for
for warm blankets in which to
wrap her boy, her eyes fell on the
new suit of clothes that had nevei
>' e ^ been worn. bat good
would they do now, if Dick w as
to be laid away fore\ei 3
; . ,
“How came he to be at home,
when all the rest of the chudicn
in the neighborhood arc at the j
picnic? asked Aunt Mal tha, at
ter the doctor said Dick vouhl
soon be himself again. Through
her tears the mother related the
whole story keeping nothing
back.
Thee has reason to rcmembei
this day all thy life, Susan, j
said the old lady. If time had
bA him go with the other young
s ters, this accident would not
have come to him. Young people
must have a little pleasure as they
journey along hfe s rugged v ay.
" l ^.'^ wonkl have forgiveu
myself if Dick had died, sobbed ,
the mother. We are hying to
biy up for our children, and hope
when we are gone they vull have
an abundance,
“Ah, Susan! Thee must learn
that there is something else be¬
sides houses and lands, and silver
and gold to lay up for thy chil¬
dren; there is such a thing as lay¬
ing up remorse and broken hearts
Art thou laying up for thy loved
ones, sweet memories of home,
or tender recollections of a gentle,
patient mother? These are treas¬
ures that will stand the test. It
is well enough to lay up worldly
riches for them, but it is not right
to take from the present for a
future that may never come. If
little Dick had been laid up in
heaven to-day, wlmt good would
*he future in prospect have
doue him? Do not lay up in the
hearts of thy children bitter feel¬
ings against the religion thou
professeth, by stripping them of
the joys that belong to life, and
should he gathered by the way.
They will pass this way but once,
Susan, see that their childhood
and youth are happy periods of
their existence.”
“Thank God! it is not too late
to scatter a few flowers by the
way,” grasped Mrs. Marlow; “I
must see father about this mat¬
ter.”

what might be expected from this

Considerable interest is mani¬
fested in Washington over the
coming election of a chaplain of
the House, This chaplain for
some time has been Dr. Milbnrn,
the eloquent blind preacher, who
has many admirers in congress
and throughout the country, and
his friends are making an effort
to have him retained. The $900
salary attached to the position is
his only income, but the Rev. Dr.
Chester, of the Fourth Presby¬
terian church, Washington, and
the Rev. J. H. Cuthbert, of the
same city, have allowed the fact to
becomoiknown that they will try
to be elected to the position, and
it is said that Mr. Cuthbert will
be the nominee of the republican
caucus. It does not seem to be
the proper thing for these minis¬
ters, who are already well sup¬
ported, to try to deprive an ear¬
nest and able blind preacher,
whose record is spotless, of the
chance of earning a living.
Judge Kit Warren tells the fol¬
lowing story about Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston: “On the morning of
July 20 , 18G1, Gen. Johnston's
army reached Piedmont, Ya., and
struck camp preparatory to tak¬
ing passage for Manassas, where
the great battle was fought next
day. There was a good deal of
commotion on the outskirts, men
moving to and fro along the con¬
tiguous roads where the wagons
were halted. I reached Pied
mont among the last and was
dragging myself along, footsore
and weary. Gen. Johnston had
been there several hours. As I
came into the suburbs I saw him
walking slowly with head down,
evidently in deep meditation. A
nCOTO came riding a hard-moutli
e d, hard trotting mule. After ho
ha a passed the general about
twenty steps the negro’s hat fell
off, and he was having a hard
time trying to rein up the mule.
A score of privates and subaltern
officers moving along the same
road paid no attention to the
trifling circumstance; but Gen.
Johnston raised his head, walked
briskly forward, picked up the
hat, caught up with the negro and
restored it to him. The general
then immediately resumed his
thoughtful attitude, as if nothing
had disturbed his meditations.”
