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.

Stlllad her frightened heart's wild boating. •(W --gt ftw shall not Tiny to-night-" 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 T with heads of white- 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.

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 be written. 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 by the name of Lockhart was discov 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 imminent, and that Hheridan ought to be at once turned loose to shoot, hang, draw and quarter the .Southern banditti.

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.
