At the ringing of the Curfew, and no earthly

Cffoiuwell will uot come till sunset." and her
b face grew strangely white,
A sh< spoke in husky whisper, "Curfew must
not ring to-night.”
"De*sl<\" calmly spoke the sexton—every word
pierced her young heart
Lika a thousand gleaming arrows, like a deadly
- poisoned dart—
" Long, long years I’ve rung the Curfew from
“ that gloomy shadowed tower;
Kvory evening past ut sunset, it has told the
twipght hour;
I hive done my duty ever, tried to do it just
aud right;
Xow I’m old, I will uot miss it, girl—the Cur
few rlugs to-night!”
Wild her eyes and palo her features, stern aud
white her thoughtful brow.
And within her heart’s doep center, Resale made
a solemn vow;
She hail listened while the Judges read, without
a tear or sigh.
"At the ringing of the Curfew, Basil Underwood
mutt ttu
And her breath cams fast and faster, und her
eyes grew largo aud bright—
One low murmur scarcely spoken—" Curfew must
Sfe" uot ring to-night."
She with light stop bounded forward, sprang
P within the old church door,
Left the old man coming slowly paths he’d trod
g so oft before;
Not ou* moment paused the maiden, but with
7 cheek and brow aglow,
Stan, ered up the gloomy tower, where the bull
swung to and fro;
Then who climbed the shining ladder, dark, with
? out one ray of light,
Upward still, her pale lips saying, "Curfew shall
js'. • Hf ring to-night.”
She has reached the topmost ladder, o’er her
bangs the great dark bell.
And the awful gloom beneath her like the path
way down to hell;
8e the poudrous tongue is swinging, 'tie the
hour of Curfew now,
Aud the sight has chilled her bosom, stopped
her breath and chilled her brow.
Shall she let it ring ' No, never! her eyes flash
M with sudden light,
As she springs aud grasps it firmly—-“ Curfew
shall not ring to-night.”
Out she swung far out, the city seemed a tiny
•pock below,
There, 'twixt heaven aud earth suspended, as
the bell swing to and fro;
Aud the half deaf sexton ringing (years he had
not heard tho hell,)
And he thought tho twilight Curfew rang young
gb Basil's funeral knell:
Still the maiden clinging firmly, cheek aud brow
so pah* aud white.
Stlllad her frightened heart's wild boating. •(W

It was o’er; the bell ceased swaying, and the
maiden stepped once more
firmly on the damp old ladder, where for hun
dred years before
Hman foot had not been planted; and what she
1 this night had done
flfeould be told long ages after—as the rays of
setting sun
Light the sky with mellow l*eauty, aged sires

Tsli the children why the Curfew did not ring
that one sad night.
o*cr the distant hills came Oroinwell; Bessie
(HI saw him, aud her brow,
lately white with sickening horror, glows with
sudden beauty now;
At his feet she told her story, showed her hands
~all bruised and torn;
And her sweot young face ho haggard, w ith a
look so sad and worn.
Touched his heart with sudden pity—-lit Ins eyes
with misty light;

Temple ot Diana of llplifviis.
Sir. John T. Wood, in n lecture ut
New York City on his discoveries ut
Ephesus. gives tho following as to
thefrernjde of Diana;
The lowest step of the platform was
found in position for more than too
feet on the north side, and on the
east side about 11 feet, and these
Blensurments nave the exact size of
the platform on the lowest stop. The
remains of a portico were found be
yond this stop at a distance of 30 feet.
It was supposed that it might have
extended on threo sides of the tem
ple. On the side the remains of a
Grecian temple, of the Doric order,
were discovered, and this was explor
ed so far as the remaining funds
would allow. With some reluctance
Mr Wood pulled down the founda
tion pier of the church, which hud
been built within the cellar walls,
and he found that they were compos
ed of fragments of sculpture ami arch
itecture, of which he saved 200 pieces.
These comprised remains from the
lasl three temples, and 100 fragments
of an archaic frieze appeared to have
belonged to the most ancient temple.
The evidences of three distinct tem
ples of Diana on the same site Mr.
Wood considered to be satisfactory.
The pavement of the temple burnt by
Erostratus was found about four feet
above the previous temple, and tho
pavement of the peristyle of the last
temple was raised still higher. The
remains of the large alter were also
found. The results of the explora
tions showed that the platform on
which the temple was raised was 239
by 42S feet, und the peristyle was
grenohed by an sccnt of fourteen
i stops, which surrounded the platform
lon all sides. The temple itself was
ltd feet by 343 feet: and the cellar,
which was seventy feet wide was en
vironed by a double row of columns
six feet in diameter and upward of
fifty feet in height. There were ex
actly too of these columns as describ
ed by Pliny, and thirty-six of them
were eoelatte or sculptured, eighteen
being at the east and eighteen at the
west end. On the flanks the inter
eoipmniations were a little more than
seventeen feet, but at the extremities
they were increased to ninteen feet.
This dimension, Mr. Wood stated,
was repeated at the extremities of
each front, but wasgradually increas
ed to twenty-eight feet for the inter
columniation in the centre. Doing
anxious to test the accuracy of Phi
lo’s statement that the temple was
built on a foundation of charcoal and
fleeces of wool, Mr. Wood had deep
holes dug against the walls, and
found a layer of charcoal three indi
es thick, overlying a putty-like sub
stance four inches thick. He had no
doubt, therefore, about the charcoal,
and he considered that the putty-like
substance might have been the fleeces
of wool. From some of the fragments
found. Sir. Wood concluded that gold
us well as color was freely used. He
instanced a small tempi' l at Cyzieas,
where, according to Pliny, threads of
gold were placed between every joint
in the marble. The foundation of the
most ancient of the three temples
found by Mr. Wood was laid B. C.
DUO, by Theodoras of Samos, and the
temple itself was built by Ctesipbieon
and Metayenes his son, succeeded by
Demetrius, a priest of Diana, and an
Ephesian named Poeonius, Mr. Wood
considered that when Pliny described
the building of the temple as extend
ing over 220 years, lie must have al
luded to the last three temples as the
temple, inasmuch as they were all
built on the same site and were of the
same size.
—The Boilandists, of Brussels, are
a literary corporation, instituted in
the seventeenth century, for the pur.
[lose of collecting and publishing the
lives of all the saints of the Catholic
church. Sixty folio volumes have
been printed of this outlandish church
history, which was interrupted by
the French revolution, but the work
has been resumed, and the month of
October is nearly completed, though
the lives of 4,070 saints yet remain to

Why (hr lunn do Not Uo to Church.
To the Editor of the X. r. Herald'.
The question is often asked, “Why
do not the lower orders go to church?”
Will you permit a laboring man to
state the reason of their nonattend
ance? It is beeauso of tho want of
sympathy on the part of tho clergy
toward the poor. The common peo
ple of Judea heard Christ gladly be
eauso Ho was one of themselves; be
eauso Ho identliled himself with
them and because He constituted
Himself their champion and friend.
But our so-called spiritual teachers
do not in the least resemble Christ,
either in their lives, their characters
or their preaching. If tiiey did, wo
working men would be their principal
adherents. Their tastes anu sympa
thies are withthe upper classes, with
men and women whom the proletar
ians regard with suspicion, dislike
and enmity. Too many of the clergy
go into the Church because it is a
pleasant and agreeable occupation.
It confers influence and an entree to
what is called “good society.” In
fact, they take up religion as a trade.
They are found ever looking for the
good things of this life, and thus it is
that the poor, comparing them with
the lowly Carpenter of Nazareth, fail
to recognize any likeness between
them, and that Master whoso life
they pretend to follow, in a word, the
clergy fail to carry out the apostolic
injunction, “Mind not high things,
but condescend to men of low estate.”
Did Christ seek to gather round
Him, as many of our clergy do, a fash
ionable, wealthy congregation? No.
He delighted in the society of social
pariahs, in order that Ho might bring
them to God, while he denounced in
scathing terms the leaders of fashion
and tho whole privileged class of
Judea. Take many of the churches
in Europe and America, what is the
service but a sham, a mere travesty
on Christianity, a social club of sel
fish, rich men and frivolous women?
They send missionaries to India.
What a farce! Go into any Moham
medan mosque and you will there see
such devotion, such earnestness, such
an intense adoration of the one God,
as would put, to shame any Christian
congregation in the whole'world. Let
the clergy send forth and espouse,
like Christ, tho cause of the oppress
ed, ill-paid, despised workers of this
and ail other lands, lsd them hurl
the thunders of God’s wrath on tho
crying sins and iniquities of tho age,
on the vulgar ostentation of tho rich,
on tho prevailing worship of Mam
mon. Let them hold up to scorn and
contempt the growing flunkoyism of
society, the reverence paid to mere
rank, till* cringing to British ideas of
caste.
Lot them denounce tho grasping
rapacity of tyrannical capitalists and
the corruption of unscrupulous poli
ticians twin evils, which arc redu
cing this land of freedom to the mis
erable condition of reactionary Euro
pean States. Let them copy Christ
in humility, in self-sacrifice, in con
tempt of the world, with all its hon
ors and all its high-prized idols. The
despotic governments of Europe
fearing the socialistic and commun
istic principles of the Christian reli
gion, appointed hireling clergy, the
ready tools of realty, aristocracy and
plutocracy, to corrupt tho Word,
that it. might bo made of more effect,
be wrongly interpreted and not un
derstood of the people. Let us lie
ware of similar false teacher* here.
To this very day in England the
whole of the Christianity taught by
the clergy in country districts to un
enlightened peasants may be sum
med up in those two sentences:
“Conduct yourselves humbly and
reverently to all your betters.”
“Be content with your station in
life.” T. Stovi.es Handers.

l-a Moral Calls.
Comparatively small value do we
attach to these, as a mere parish for
mality. The “going from house to
house,” unless it result in a true ac
quaintanceship and unveiling of the
heart, is but wasted time and effort.
A pastor cannot afford mere gossip
ing calls. He had better bo in Ins
study, or even off trouting. But the
calls that are valuable both to him
self and people, which will enable
him to “preach better,” both in the
pulpit and out of it, are calls in which
the truest and deepest emotions of
the soul come to the surface. There
fore, be frank with your minister.
Tell him your religious thoughts and
feelings plainly, clearly and honestly.
Through such, your needs spiritually ;
bo better able, and far more likely,
to speak the “word in season” call ho
will know you better; understand for
your advantage. Much a coming to
gether, too, is just as valuable if it
take place on the sidewalk or in tho
ears. Home of the most valuable
“ministerial calls” ever made have
had for witnesses only the jolting
seats of a wagon load ; or the dusty
beams of an old barn; or tho steam
ing kettles of the kitchen stove, and
apologized for “looks” of the un
swept room; or the old woodpile
where we caught the man with ids
“frock” on, and, in a twinkle, got our
hearts together for the moment
thought only of the one fact of our
being travelers to eternity together,
who might help each other. Such
pastoral calls can never lose the gold
out of them. Their memory will
make heaven itself the sweeter!
Would that we could make more of
them! Ah! it takes two to make
such calls as those. You must call
on the pastor the same time he calls
on you.— liar. (J. S. Vkippe.
An Insane Man with a I’ihtoi. in
the White House.- Recently a rnan

ered in the Executive Mansion with a
pistol in his possession, and was taken
into custody. On Friday his son ar
rived from Indiana to conduct him
home. “It is supposed,” says the
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
“that Lockhart had some important
secret on his mind which has had the
effect to derange it.” Lucky that be
is not an unreconstructed rebel from
the South j otherwise liis appearance
in the White House with a pistol in
his possession would be seized upon
as evidence that anew rebellion was

He had been in the habit of taking
throe or four “nips” per day for the
last fifteen years, but on New-Year’s
morning he’ arose and said to his wife :
j “Mary .lane Shiner, here I’ve been
squandering at least, a dollar per
week for more than a dozen years!”
“But I thought you said a glass
now and t hen aided your digestion,”
she replied.
“All fudge and nonsense,” he con
tinued ; “that was only an excuse to
satisfy my own conscience.”
“And I’ve heard you say that it
made you sleep better—helped you to
have a clear head,” she said.
“Nonsense- worst kind of bosh!
: I’ve drank up SHOO in tho last dozen
years, and it hasn’t benefltted mo one
cent.”
"Well!”
“Well, I’m going to quit. I’m go-
I iug to commence now. No more
I drinks for Shiner after this I”
“Good boy—noble husband,” slio
; said, patting him on the chin ; “now
j you begin to talk like a Roman now
you are going to test your stamina!”
Shiner felt puffed up with pride for
an hour or two, and then began to
feel a gonenesss along down his
throat. He drank water, cold coffee
aud milk, and got through with the
day; although when he went to bed
tie dreamed that ho was a flask of
brandy und that a member of Con
gress was carrying him In his coat-tail
pocket. At midnight lio awoke with
ids thumb in his mouth, just on tho
point of taking a ten cent drink, and
at daylight he inquired of his wife
whether it was the year 1875 or 187(5.
That forenoon, while he sat in his
office, a moek-looking stranger enter
ed, took a paper from his pocket, and
said that he was soliciting aid for the
Kansas grasshopper sufferers.
“Grasshopper be hanged!” exclaim
ed Hhiner. “The next fraud who
comes in here will get his neck bro
ken !”
His chief clerk spoke to him about
ordering some goods, and ho whirled
around and said ho wouldn’t order
another dollar’s worth of goods in
ten years. A young man called to se
cure a place, and Hhiner threw the
coal-stove shaker and hit him on the
car.
When ho wont to dinner he natter
ed himself a little that he had suc
ceeded in curbing his inclination to
drink’ and his wife patted him on the
shoulder and whispered:
“Samuel, you have got more stami
na than the Czar of Russia!”
Going down town again lie entered
a saloon and asked the saloon-keeper
if he honestly thought that a moder
ate amount of brandy would affect
the health. The saloon-keeper was
sure it wouldn’t.. The bottles looked
good to Hhiner, and there was a
pleasant smell as he leaned over the
bar.
When he reached his office he kick
ed a chair over, hoisted tho spittoon
across tho room, and sat dfiwn and
dated a letter 1877. A lady called to
have him subscribe something for a
new Sunday school, and ho bristled
up and yelled:
“No, sir, not a red! Sunday schools
are killing the business interests of
this country!”
After about an hour he wont out
and asked a doctor if three drinks of
gin per day would liurtany one. The
doctor thought not, if they were light
drinks. Returning to tho office,
Shiner hunted up an old brandy bot
tle and sat and held it for a long
time, and wondered how they were
made, and then threw it into the eoal j
box and went out on the street, and |
asked a life Insurance agent if two or
three drinks a day would hurt a man.
“Of course they wouldn’t,” replied
the agent. Going home to supper,
Hhiner asked three more men, and
they all replied “no.” When he
reached home he said the biscuits
wern’t fit for cannibals, gave the girl
warning to leave, and called his wife’s
brother, who was there on n visit, a
hump-backed, wilful liar.
utWnen Shiner went down town in
the evening he asked threo more
doctors if a little brandy was hurtful.
Then he went into a saloon and ask
ed for some pop. He was a good
while in drinking it, and then he I
asked to look at the label on a bran- j
dy bottle. When he had read it he |
looked to soe if the cork was in very j
tight, and asked the saloon-keeper if
he thought brandy would hurt any j
one.
When Shiner reached home that j
night, he threw his wallet at his wife, j
told the hired girl she might stay j
there 5,000 years, begged his wife’s
brother’s pardon, and, as ho turned a !
handspring in the parlor, lie broke j
out with:
“So, farwoll, Mary Ann,
You must do the best you can” -
Shiner was tight. M. Quad.
