The Hadji said, " If o'er my tombShould grasses way. and roses blooni,And if with tears the spot should beSometimes bedewed for love of me,My rest would be a blissful rest,And I would count the Hadii blest."No roses deck the Badji's grave-He sleeps beside a foreign wave-And never womean's eye grows dim,In that strange land at thought of him;And yet, no doubt, the Hadji's restIs quite as sweet as It his breastWere by a million roses prest,And woman made his grave her quest.

DEATH OF ELIHU BURRIT T.

A SKETCH OF AN RARNEST LIFE DEVOTED

TO STUDY AND TO GOOD WORKS.

Eliho Burrith died at his home in NewBritain, Connecticut, on Thursday night,March 8th, leaving behind him to endurefor a while in the world a good fame, wellearned He came of mound Scotch stock,many years ago transplanted to Americansoit, and long before his birth thoroughlyAmericanized. Both his father and hisgramdfthter served in the Continental armyduring the revolutionary war. The yonng.est of a family of ten children, he was bornin New Britain, December 8, 1810. Thedeath of his father, a shoemaker, threw14m wholly on his own resources at the age

of eighteen years. lio apprenticed him-self to a blacksmith and worked at . st ipd faithfully. He learned it thoroug 'ly , by the time his journeymnn dayswere-ended he was ,ompetent to be a mas-ter blacksmIth.

work and sailed for England, in order toestablish peace relations with the .Englishpeace party. He was a leading sp t inthe fouzlding of the. League of UniBrotherhood ; in the organization of thefirst Peace Congress in Europe, in 1848,and was prominent in the Congress heldin '49 and '50-the last being the notableCongress at Frankfort that aspired to set-tle by arbitration the Sbchleswlg-Holsteinquestion. In 1852 he came back to Ameri-ca, and in the same year assumed the edi-torship of the Philadelphia Citizen of theWorld, a conservative anti-slavery organ

that advocated abolition of slavery by thepurchase of slaves with a view to their be-ing set at liberty. Some of the best worksof his life was in furtherance of this idea,and his strong utterances commanded theattention of men of all parties. Whateverchance of success may have been in storeas reward for his earnest efforts was dash-ed by John Brown's revolt The affairratHarper's Ferry made a peaceable settle-ment of the great questions before thecountry impossible- Disheartened by thenew phase of affairs, he abandoned hisnewspaper, retired to a little holding ofland belonging to him in New Britain, andbetook himself to farming. In 1863 heagain visited England, and for two yearshe was actively engaged in writing and insupervising through the press severalbooks. In 1865 he was appointed UnitedStates Consul at Birmingham, a positionthat he retained during the five eusuinnyears. Since 1870 he has lived upon hjsfarm at New Britain, doing much forwelfare, moral and physical, of his fellatownsmen, and writing not a little to simi-`lar ends. His published works include thefollowing : "Sparks from the Anvil,"London, 1843; "Olive Leaves," 1853;"Thoughts sand Things at Home andAbroad," 1854; "A Walk from JohnO'Groat's to Land's End," 1865, and seve-ral volumes of miscellanies, of which thelatest and last of his publications, "Chipsfrom Many Blocks," appeared in June,1878.

The fact most worthy to be noted in thelife of Elihu Burritt is that before he wasanything blse he was a good blacksmith.He was not ashamed of his trade, and hedid not slur it in order to gain time for hisstudies.. He was as earnest at the anvil ashe was at his books. His work was hon-est : it satisfied those whom he served andit satisfied himself. Probably he dislikedhis harsh calling and was very glad to havedone with It, but his longing for somethinghigher never led him into forgetting thenecessity of doing well the work set be-fore him. His eyes were not so set uponthe stars but that they guided his feet asthey trod firmly the earth. So his life,from the beginning, was patient, faithfuland true, and the lesson that it teaches isthat by patience, faithfulness and truththe batttle that every man has to fightwith the world is moessurely won.

MISS ANNA .l DICKINUSO:i' DEPENSE OF ITS

Take the men and women of genius,the actors who have the greatest powerand influence on their times. What ofthem ? Has not, in a majority of instan-ces, the life of this man or this womanbeen blasted by the life of the stage? No.We are putting: cateless fingers upon oneof the greatest mysteries, I venture tosay, of our common humanity, and that isis the strange,.compiex, sorrowfnl, pitifulproblem of life.

Their tents were silent as thetomb save when a wall arose, which musthave been for the dead, solemn and im-pressive as anything that ever fell from thepulpit or altar. Their religion even in theforms of expression seemed to bear a won-derful resemblance to our own. ' Do untoothers as you would have others do untoyon' was pronounced by Nes Perces lipsin tones so earnest and persuasive that itsounded like a last appeal in behalf of adying race. As they dwell upon the possi-bilities of a restoration to their old homesand early Mriends, a gleam of hope wouldthrow a momentary light before them, tobe driven away by the shadow of the cloudwhich hangs over them by day and bynight. The climate and atmosphere oftheir present locality affects them like aslow and deadly poison.

Effects of Ncvel Beading.Toronto Globe.

We do not agree with those who contendthat novels are usually pernicious in theireffects. We believe that the taste for sol-id reading is very often due to the hungerfor information which has been stimulatedby novel reading, and we quite agree withThackeray that all healthy literary appe-tites relish novels as children relish sweets.Some novels are trash, just as some histo-ries, some poems and some works on scienceare; but no one wants history, poetry ofscience to be banished from the libraries.it should not be forgotten that the Me*chanics' Insai tea have other objects thanthe lnstruction/M the public; they are in-tended to furnish people with the meansfor enjoying leisure cheaply as well as withthe means of improving it. The youngme" and women who lose themaslves in-the pages of the novelist, at least are doingno harm while so engaged, and there are-few modern novels which -convey any butgood lessoed, or stimulat-their readers toother than noble eortis. Many a man hapbeien led to the higher lift by such works:as "John HaIliats."

Priests and Indians.

The prlinipal witness in the Reno inqui.ry. ase at Chicago was Girard, the celebra-ted scout and friend of Custer. Duringthe proceedings, he described a plan for thegradal onviissation of the Ildians,mnd thenadded that this should be carried out eitherby the army or the Cathoelis priests. Hesaid : " I think it should be left to the mil-itary department. I don't see how else itcould be done, unless it was put in thehands of the Catholiom msionaries. Theyare the only ones thatan dqanything withthe Indians. In the first place, their churchceremonies catch the eyes and the minds ofthe redskins. There is something grandand imposing in them whioh make a deepimpression on the Indian character. Then,again, the missionaries are hard-workingmen of blaielees lives-mean who seem tolabor for nothing .iRtbog ood of th*90ampiethi tr lot is cast. The Inlaimsku.& this, and they deeply respect theCatholic-missionories, who are known toall the tribes as the 'Black Gowns.' "

To show the influence of the priests overthe InJisus, Mr. Girard relates several an.ecdetes. On one occasion the Berthold In-diana had suffered from a drought. Theywent to Father Do Smet and entreated himto say a mass for rain. The father prom-ised to do so if they would cease traffoingin liquor, and devote their hearts and thewhole of one day to the Great Spirit. Thepromise was given, the mass was said, andbefore night it commenced to rain,and con-inqed raining four days.. After that,up tothe timopof his death, Father Do Smet was1ooc*l ripho as a big medicine man,and hisword was law with the. tribe. There arefew things in history more hideous than thestoiy of the recent massacre of the Obey-enue Indians at Camp Robinson by ourtroops. If this is a specimen of the military management of the Indians, the countrywill want no more of it. Mr. Girard's al-ternative solution is the true one. Thisshould hays been done 50 years ago. Nowthe cruel and unbearable wrongs inflicted onthe Indians by the non-Chatholic and anti-Christian policy that has been pursued hasso exasperated them that the problem isgreatly complicated. Nevertheless, if itwere possible to expel from every Indianreservation the rascals who, under the garbof Protestant ministers and agents, haveenriched themselves, and to replace themwith Catholic priests, incalculable goodwould be done.-Bismarck Tribuve.

The Old and 1lew French Republic.

London Times.

The new President of the Republicstarts with many advantages. Europe hasno fear of the Republic as it had in 1848,when the evangelists of social and politicalrevolution spread terror from one end ofEurope to the other. The new govern-ment is peaceful, and its Institutions, as M.Gambettatald, are not Intended for ex-port. For the first time the present formof government will have a fair chance oflife.. The ld lepuble- waereast ie suchstormy days, and it was so little steadiedby experience as to make the students ofits history wonder, not that it fell so soon,but that it lasted so long. The secondRepublic was called into existence by asmall group of theorists, who began bymiking the hazardous experioeut of es-tablishing universal suffrage, and some ofwhom created a panic by their Socialisticcreed. Then the Assembly framed a Con-stitution which might seem to have beenalmost designed for the purpose of puttingthe institutions of the country at the mer-cy of the President. The series of fatalmistakes was crowned when the dictate offatal suffrage gave the place of Chief Mag-istratetto Prince Louis Napoleon. Thesituation is incomparably better to-day.The country has shown by repeated votesthat it is content with the present Consti-tution. The Senate is Republican. ThePresident is as consistent a Repubieau asany man in France. Thus, for the firsttime, all the powers of the Government arein the hands of its friends, and the reac-tionary parties form but a feeble opposi-tion. It may be thought that the tury isstill a mysterious force. But if ire anytrust all kinds of reports, the great massof the army has not the slightest inclina-tion to be mad. the instrument of reaction.The only danger which the, present Con-gress has really. to fear is the indiscretionof its-owniriends. Revolutionary expaei-1ments would soon make the pesantrybeckon for the Empire. But, for the firsttime, the government is steadied by theclasses whisk form the backbone of genu-ine conservatism. The soccallsd conserva-tism of people who would opt up anothermonarchy, revive the old political powersof the clergy, and hold out territoriathopesto the Pope, is only revolution in disguise,but the support of the peasantry, of themiddle chars, and of the great traders is

an aechor of real conservatism, and onsuch stability the government can count.

It le an naplewat cet:m which someministers have of thus Vbwasignt peepiswho Inenr their displeaente. Sometimesit is at the absentees, sometimes at thleseWh6 are present The Presbyter a thushits back : " We very mucI quetiom thepropriety of advising or rebuking a congee.gation or an aditence through the mediumof prayes though. we aro sorry to say, it istoo o(tb4one. But two cases of the kind,lately esnatiloed in the papery almost seemsuek an exception to the rule that one canbardly and fault. One is that of a ministeropening a court with prayer, who prayedthat 'dl lawyers might remember that lifeis short, and not waste the time of thejudge and jury by talking to no purposewhen they had nothing to say ;' and theother that of the chaplain of the asineLegislature, who prayed tht 4 the honora-ble members might stop spieskig whenthey have got through;' though, says thepaper which reportathe fact, 'it is greviousto be informed that thus far the prayer hasnot been answered."' To which let us addthe ease of a very respectable pastor inWestern Pennsylvania. He had Invited's.colored minister, who happened to cone,along, to sit with him in the Pulpit. Thebrother accepted the invitation, but wasastonished when he heard his host insulthim by praying in she "long prdyer" thatthe Lord would'" bless our colored brotherwho this morning occupies the pulpit withus." Some of the-congregation were of-fended by it, particularly the sexton, whohappened to be a-colored man. He vowedvengeance. On a Sunday morning, notlong afterward, the dongregation of aneighboring church were-much astonishedby a sudden addition to their numbers,after the services had commenced. Inquiryresulted in learning that the church inwhose pulpit the colored, brother had s eatwas so filled with smoke that the pboplecould not stay there. The sexton, doter.mined to avenge the insult offered to hisrace, had fixed the smoke flue so as to turnall the smoke from the furnace into - thechurch. It was considered a little wickedin him, but it was agreed on all hands thathe had got even with the palter.=Pkjla.Times.

Is Consnaption Casia iLondon Lancet.

The remarkable instances now and` thenseen, in which persons without hereditarytendency to phtlilsis become phtbisical atthlong-continued attendance on sufferers fromthe disease, have suggested to many pihysi-clans the idea that phthisia is contaginois,If there is such a contagion,the mecheatanhas been supposed to ee the inhalation-withthe breath of fle particles of tuberciuousspeta,atomized into the air by the patient'scough. An attempt has been made by Dr.Tappeiner of Meran to ascertain whether,by a similar means, animals could be ren-dered tubercular, and the results of the ex-periments, which are published in the our-rent numberof't nt`rbange, Aiilfgrtinterest. The animals experimented onwere made to breathe for several hoursdaily in a chamber in the air of which fineparticles of phthisical sputum were sus-pended. The sputum having been mixedwith water, the mixture was atomized by asteam atomizer. In all cases the sputa werefrom persons with cavities in their lungs.Dogs alone were employed in the experi-ments, since they very '+-a'ply suffer fromspontaneous tuh~rctl ,.. Thu result wasthat of 11 animals experimented on, withone doubtful exception,after a period vary-ing from 25 to 45 days, all, on being killed,presented well-developed miliary tuberclesin both lungs; and, In most of the eases.tubercles were present, to a smaller exzrt,in the kidneys, and in some cases, also, inthe liver and spleen. Microscopical exapi.nation was in accord with the naked eyeappearances. The quantity of sputum nec-essary for the effect is certainly a very-smallone. In three experiments only one gramme-of sputum was daily atomised in the air ofthe chamber, and the-quantityof dry spu-tum must have been exceedingly small.
