No one thut knew him dare breathe a prayer For a soul with aimless flight. Who, lif.’ was sad. whose death a keen desjmir. An-1 -lark as the folds of night. • ♦ • lleerlier - Idea of flic 111lle Aftrr tin- usual exemsas, Mr. Bce-har spokr as follows Anybody that uml.-rUik.*- to pinu-li a system of doctrinal truths which shall exhaust the topics belonging to iC'hnstinn religion, who attempts to Still up a -stlendar of doctrine suppos- Bng that in that way in' will moot nil ihe exigencies of truth, has need to Hgn what are the very first print! file- of truth itself. You never can pt into a book, even if it be divinely nil the truth that there is. Rc liilile don’t contain it don’t pro ■hs to contain it. In some sense, it ■nv be said that the liibln is a book of samples. It gi vi's you specimen* ■ere and there, but the fabric of which you see the sample has never |peen enrolled in the book. Mere trmh. or the truth in connection wit h -the expierienee of men, as well as in Sjbnnection with divine souls, the ’•'realm, the variety, the bight, the depth, the length, the breadth of ■osditto Christian truth is such that it is simply absurd to talk or the Ri jblc as containing the great truths, ■ou may ns well say that the llnger ■oard on the road contained the road which it merely points out, as to say Shut tbe Bible contains the whole of Christian truth, when it simply dis criminates. The thing itself cannot ibe in printer's type nor in the writer’s handwriting. Truth is a living thing ; It is the action of a living soul; it is wi—ight; it is feeling; it is growing, Developing, and the whole world is ten! large enough to contain the sum jpf it, If it should lie recorded. ■ iSo, then, the Bible is like the keys tel' a piano, in which there are no feline*, but in which there is the ea- Daeity of .-ill tunes, if von touch (hem §ghi: P'll,- Uellslims t tmllirl in su 11/crlaii rt, ■ in the home of the mythical Tell, felie typical republican federation of ■it rope, religion* antagonism is -tuite Bkt bitter as in despotic Prussia. The Swiss Protestants are only about half ■gain as numerous as the Catholics, Bd in nearly half the cantons the Eat hoiks outnumber thorn. The ox kditivo power in Switzerland is vested In a cabinet of seven members, from which are chosen by ilsown members litn President and Vice-President of tin' confederation. The legislative body is composed of two chambers, the National Council and the Council pt States. The constitutions of the individual cantons are under the con trol ami regulation of this federal as sembly. in January, 1874, the Swiss Govern ment forbad-* sixty-nine Catholic Priests of the Bernese Jura, who had been already deposed by sentence of the competent judicial tribunal and also those who signed a collective protest in the previous September from longer residing in the districts of Delsberg, Freiburg, Lauf-m, and a few others. This virtual decree of banishment excited a great deal of feeling, and complaints were present ed to the legislature, but it declined fo interfere. The new Constitution of April, 1*74, guaranteed to every citizen the right, of settlement in any place whatsove er within the whole domain of the confederation, and it. was claimed by the Ultramontane lawyers that the new Constitution had a retroactive power, and tints annulled the decree of banishment. To this it, is answered that it is a well-settled principle of law that retroactive furoo oannut bo given to a constitution, and that, moreover, the new provision insuring the right of choosing one’s residence is limited by a subsequent section, which provides that the central Gov ernment. as well as the cantons shall be erninvered to pass extraordinary measures for the protection of order against, clerical disturbance. Meanwhile the Ultramontane*, alarmed by the rapid growth and in crease of the independent or 01-l Catholics, have become violent in their denunciation of the Liberal par ty and in their opposition to the pro posed marriage law, which makes marriage a purely civil ceremony. They assert that the constitutional amendment of 1871 placing marriage utider the regulation of the Confed eration does not, authorize the enact ment of an entirely new marriage law. A formidable opposition has lieen organized, and the clerical par ty will use every effort to defeat the measure, but the Liberal majority is thought to be sufficient to pass it. fhe new law does not forbid any re ligious ceremony, but makes the civ il one essential. . There is every reason to ex licet an indefinite prolongation of the con flict. The picture is not an edifying one—intolerance and bitterness on either side in the reputed home of liberty.—AVtr York Nun. 1-imr (arlmtnl The long tragedy of Maximilian and Charlotte of Mexico, the most picturesque and pathetic story in its way of our times hits not yet reached its close. It was rumored a year ago that the unhappy Charlotte was at the point of death, and for a long I time, indeed, her life hovered in the j balance. Those who hold to the ! Christian's hope of another and n better life beyond the grave will hardly think it a merciful dispensa tion by which iter weary spirit was denied its rest. The health of the ex-Empress is now perfect; but her mental condition is inexpressibly strange mid sail. She is in the world, but not of it. Sho believes herself to lie continually surrounded by beings of another sphere, with whom alone j sho converses. Stic never utter- a ! word to any of her servants or at tendants, and the presence of any human being throws her into u fever of ennui and vexation. Her sister-in i law, the Queen of the Belgians, comes once a month to visit her, in compa ny with her physician. The ex-Em press receives them with eol-l courte sy. The physician nsks after her health. "I am very well,” she re plies, and turning away, walks out of tin' room. Site manages her whole establishment, which is worthy of Iter exalted rank, at the palace of Lnckon, by letter. There is a mosaic table in otic of the grand saloons on which every day she lays down her commands in writing. These notes are taken by the servants at a regu lar hour anil-inly attended to. Site draws up every-fay the men a of her j table, composing it with good gas ; tronomie judgment, and dines with a | good appetite, tf by accident any dish which sho orders is not served, she makes a note of the fact, the next -lay, but never with one word of com plaint. Htic is very careful with her toilette and dresses witti all her old taste and distinction, dressing her own hair and dressing it in the Mat bamlean.r which were fashionable when she last saw her husband and was with him in the dark hours that proceeded the bloody eclipse and midnight of Quoretnro. Her femme I <le chambre is never admitted to her toilette; but after preparing her hath and her dresses leaves the room to j come Imek only in the morning. When tin' weather is line she walks jin the park always at ll o’clock, al ways along the same puth, ami with a very rapid step. <>f course she is ! carefully watched by invisible sen tinels but she lias never manifested ’ any disposition to suicide. Sho plays exquisitely on the piano, anil passes i hours in that way. She' paints and I draws also extremely well, and still keeps up this art. The marked fea ture of her ease is the absolute hor | ror which she shows of all company hut that of her visions and her mem ories. One is reminded by it of the j curiously similar experience of a very ] clever German writer. Jnstinus Ker , nor, the author of the “Seeress of l’revorst,” who used to live absolute | iv with what he called “his ghosts." One of lii- friends describes him ’Standingat the doorway of a ball room, with a dejected face, and say ling soft Iv to himself, "Oil, melon, ; me’ Wiiy are not all these pleasant i ghosts?" To this widowed, childless wife, this exiled and discrowned Em i pri'ss, what society of the living, in- I deed, could bring happiness, or peace, or hope? Sanitary Regulations.
