6 T11E CHIFFONIER. FT W. W. BTORT. 1 am a poor Chiffonier I I reek what others cast away I Jn refupe heaps the world throws by, Pespised by man, ray trade I ply; And oft I rake them o'er and o'er. And fragrants broken, stained, and torn, I gather up, and make ray store Of things that dogs and beggars soorn, I am the poor Chiffonier I Yon see me in the dead of night Peering along with pick and light, And while the world in darkness sleeps Waking to rake its refuse heaps; I scare the dogs that round them prowl, And light amid the rubbish throw, For precious things are hid by foul Where least we heed and least we knew. I am the poor Chiffonier 1 No wretched and rejected pile, No tainted mound of offal vile, No drain or gutter I despise, For there may lie the richest prize; And oft amid the litter thrown A silver coin a golden ring Which holiieth still its precious stone, Some happy chance to me may bring. I an the poor Chiffonier 1 These tattered rags, so soiled and frayed, Were in a loom of wonder made, And beautiful and free from shame When from the Master's hand they came. The reckless world that ihrew them off Now heeds them only to despise; Yet, ah I despite its jeer and scoff, What virtue still within them lies t I am the poor Chiffonier ! Yes 1 all these shreds so spoiled and torn, These ruined rags you pass in scorn, This refuse by the highway tossed, I seek that they may not be lost; And, cleansed from tilth that on them lies, And purified and purged from stain, Renewed in beauty they Bhall rise To wear a spotless form again. I am the poor Chiffonier ! Blackwood's Maguzine. The Friendship of Brothers amd Sisters. BY REV. W. E. ALGJBR. Two of the most distinguished in the long roll of eminent astronomers are a brother and sister Sir William and Caroline Herschel. The story of their united labors how, for thousands of nights, side by side they sat, and watched, and calculated, and wrote one sweeping the telescopic heavens, the other assisting and neting down the results how with one spirit and one interest they grew old together, and illustrious together their seve ral achievements both at home and in observa tories on Btrange shores to which they voy aged, always associated with what affectionate care she trained the favorite nephew who was to burnish into still more effulgent brightness the star-linked name of Herschel the story of all this is full oi attractiveness, and forms one of the warm and poetic episodes in the high old annals of science. The union of John Aiken and his sister Laetitia, afterwards Mrs. Iiarbauld, in life, tastes, labors, was uncommonly close and complete. The narrative of it, so warm, sub stantial, and healthy was it, leaves a pleasing and invigorating influence on the sympathies of those who read it. While Mrs. Barbauld was tarrying at Geneva, her brother addressed a letter in verse to her: "Yet one dear wish still struggles in my breast. And paints one darling object unpossessed. Huw many years have whirled tneir rapid coarse .Mince we. sole streamlets from one honored source. In lond allectiou s in blond allied, Have wandered devious from, each other's side; A llowed to catch alone Rome transient view, Hcarce long enouich to think the vision true! O l hen. while yet some rest of life remains, While transport yet can swell the beating veins, While sweet remembrance keeps her wouted zeal. And fancy still retains some genial heat. When evening bids each busy task be o'er, Once let us meet again to part no more." The evening came. In the village of Stowe, Newington, they spent the last twenty years of their lives in that close neighborhood whioh admitted of the daily, almost hourly, inter changes of hand and heart. There was a friendship of great strength between Goethe and his sister Cornelia. She was only a year younger than her brother, his companion in plays, lessons, and trials, bound to him by the closest ties and innumerable associations. .While she was yet in the cradle he prepared dolls and amusements for her, and was very jealous of all who came between ' them. They grew up in such union that, as he afterwards said, they might have been taken for twins. The sternness of their father drove them into the more confiding sympathy. When be became a young man, and was ac customed to make irequent excursions, he says: "I was again drawn towards home, and that by a magnet which attraoted me strongly at all times: it was my sister." Cor nelia had superior endowments of mind, great force and truth of character, but she keenly felt her want of beauty, "a want richly com pensated by the unbounded confidence and love borne to her by all her female friends." And yet, Goethe says, "When my connection with Gretchen was torn asunder, my sister consoled me the more warmly because she felt the secret satisfaction of having got rid of a rival; and I, too, could not but feel a great pleasure when she did me the justice to assure me that I was the only one who truly loved, understood, and esteemed her." At twenty Cornelia was married to one of Goethe's intimate friends, Schlosser, and in four years she died. In one of her brother's frequent allusions to her, this striking trait is recorded: "Her eyes were not the finest I have ever seen, but the deepest, behind which you expected the most meaning; and when they expressed any auction, any love, their glance was without its equal." In his auto biography, written long after her death, he says: "As I lost this beloved, incomprehen sible be ng but too early, I felt inducement enough to picture ter excellence to myself and so there arose within me the conception of a poetio whole, in which it might have been possible to exhibit her individuality; no other form could be thought of for it than that of the Richardson an romance. But the tumult of the world called me away from this beauti ful and pious design, as it has from so many there, and nothing now remains for me but to call up for a moment that blessed BDirit a if by the aid of a maglo mirror." P A relation of a more absorbing character than the foregoing exiBted between Jaoobl and his Bister Lena. "For a long series of years " Bteffens writes, "she lived one life with her brother, even ennobling and exalting him by her presence. She took part in all his studies, all Lis controversies, and changed the still self-communion of the lonely man into a long conversation." There are many accounts of her minute carefulness for him and un wearied devotion to him, given by contempo raries. Borne make the picture a little comio from excess of coddling, but all agree as to the unfailing and affectionate sincerity of their at tachment. There was an uncommon friendship between Chateaubriand and his younger sister Lucille, a girl of extreme beauty, genius, spirituality, and melancholy. He Bays of those years: "I grew up with toy Bister Lucille; oar friendship EIUljLY EVENING TELEGRAFU 'PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 18G7. conutitufed the whole of our lives." Her thoughts were all sentiments. Her elegance, sweetness, imaginativeness, and impasFioned sensibility presented a combination of Greek and German genius. "Our principal recrea tion consisted in walking, side b7 side, on the great Mall, in the spring on the carpet of prim rose, in antnmn on beds of withered foliago, Jn winter on a covering of snow. Young like the primroses, sad like the dry leaves, and pure as the new-fallen snow, there was a har mony between onr recreations and ourselves." Lucille first persuaded her brother to write. After he says: "We undertook works in com mon; we passed days in mutual consultation In communication to each other what we had done, and what we proposed to do." The lamentatit n he breathes over her grave When she died is one of the most affecting passages in his long autobiography. lirnst and Charlotte Schleiermae.ii er tppro n. choice and ever faithful nair of friends. Th life and letters of the great preacher, recently published, reveal the lull beauty and impor tance of this relation. Their correspondence is equally filled with the manifestations of varied intelligence and of congenial feeling. Sharing all their experience in affectionate in tercourse, or in full and cordial letters, they appeared thus to find their treasures heiclit. ened, their perplexities cleared, their trials alleviated. To this noble divine, so oelebrated for his profound scholarship, his enthusiastic piety, his exalted, almost romantio sensibility, and his heroio aims, Charlotte was knit by affinities of character and life even more closely than by those of blood and name. THE NAMES OF COINS. At the nresent time. n1in tlm n,.ta nr "International Committee for rencV." now sittilif in Paris avr-ifu on .,,,,..1, interest in all parts ot the world, and particu larly in the United States, perhaps a few words in reference to the rtnmaa of ii v wiua now or formerly in use may be of interest. fPa A : iit. i .me .American nonar is derived lrom the German "thaler" (literally, "Valley piece," the first thalers havincr lpn pnin,l i n. - o J V. 1 u vAia- chimsthal, in Uchemia, where there are ex tensive suver mines), The same name is also used in Sweden and Denmark, xah of currency is called a rixdale or royal dollar. iui me Mjju or uooreviauon ot dollar ($), authorities are divided as to its origin, but it is generally admitted that $ was originally written with the S on the U; but for the sake of celerity it was considered to be expedient to chant?e the U to two Rtroknn ti.rnnrrh v,o a which has remained the accepted sign. ' ine American mm, cent, and dime, the French centime and decime, the Italian cente simo, the South American centaro, are terms derived from the Latin, denoting the thou- ancun, me nunareatn, ana the tenth part of the unit of currency. When the Italian cities were at the height of their power in the mid- J1 .it... a ii. . . uie ui me sixieenm century, ineir coma natu- raiiy spread over me world, and their names were taken for the coins of many other coun tries: thns the world florin (in Italian florino, so called from the uuwer, me my oi Florence, being on the re verse of every coin) was adopted by the fieuuii auu Jiiiguen, wno aise give the same name to the German coin nuhlenA J - F VV4 II UUI gold money. The Venetian sequin, in Italian zecchino ft om ze, a mint was adopted bv muni, vi iuo uneuiHi countries wuii which the Venetian merchants trafficked. The Milanese ducat was taken into France and Naples when the armies of these countries overran Milan. The Neapolitan carlino is a small coin, with the head of Charles on it. The Roman scudo in French took v.u its name from the shield originally placed on this coin. Another Italian coin which spread over Kurope was the Roman grosso, called in Eng land a grote, in France a pros, in Bremen a CTOte. and Still retained in l'riu! a-nA Kivnn AS ft 1 1 f 1 1 A errtflt nr rrrrtaelmn TIia v - ,. i. is evidently derived from the Italian solde, or piece witu wjujcu one can soide or pay one's debts. The Hanseatic towns also furnished coins, witness the mark, so called from the Govern ment mark, that it was of good weight. The schelling of Hamburg was adopted in England, where it is called a shilling, and also by Den mark and Sweden, where they call it a skel ling. Many coins derive their names from the marks or signs, printed on the reverse, and retain the name although the sign may have been disused. Thus, a coin which has a crown on the reverse was called an r'cu in French, a crown in English. A piece which has a cross on it is called a kreuzer in Germany (from the German word kreutz a cross); although no signs of a cross can be discovered on the modern kreutzer. The English "pound" was originally a pound of money; but it has been gradually reduced to its present form, and called a "sovereign," from the sovereign's head being on its face. In France, during the reign of Louis XVI, there was a coin called a livre, or pund, which the republic adopted as the unit of cur rency, changing the name to that of franc, which it Still retains. When the Kingdom of Italy, and more re cently the Fapal States adopted the French system, they retained the old name of Hire in Italian, lira, and made that the unit of cur rency, so that the franc of France and the lira of Italy are of exactly the same value. The "Napoleon" or "Louis" of the French Is simply a conventional name given by the French to a twenty frano piece; in the same manner as the Americans call a ten dollar piece an "eagle," and as the Prussians have a "Frederick." The English guinea derived its name from the fact of the gold from which the first guineas were made came from the Guinea Coast. The English farthing is 80 called from its being the fourth of a penny; the derivation of the Spanish cwurio is the same, the cwarto being the quarter of a real or royal piece. The names of the South American coins are mostly of Spanish or Portuguese origin; the peso, or Reru,;is a piece that weighs, from pesar to weigh: the centaro is the hundredth part of the unit of currency, and the ret of Brazil is a royal piece. From the above-mentioned facts it will be seen that the tendenoy of all nations has been to adopt the coins of other nations; witness the groat which travelled from Italy to England. France, and Onrminv. Sometimes the value was altered, for instance there is a florin in Bavaria worth 40 American cents, and divided into CO krentzers, while in Austria there is one of the value of CO Ameri can cents, divided into 100 kreutzers. To give an idea of the difficulties a merchant doing business with Germany has to encounter it must be remembered that there are five dis tinct coinages in use in that country, namely Prussia aud Saxony, who use thalers, worth 7.r)0., divided into :,0 groschen; Hamburg markB of 30o., divided into 16 Bohillinifs' Bremen with Its groten, and Austria and Bavaria tiefore mentioned. In Italy the same Btate of things existed until the establishment of the Italian king dom, in lHOO. Several years ago the French Government proponed to the States whose coinage was the tsame as hers namely To elgium, Switzerland, and Jtaly that 'the coins of one should pass without diminution of value in the territory of each of the others. This proposal was immediately accepted by these countries, and by Rome some time after. It is this arrangement, oalled in Kurope "La Convention Monetaire,," which it is proposed to extend so as to make a universal currency. A. 1'. Com. Adv. Memorial Church to Christopher 1 umbos. From the Boston IHlot. ' Co- lne liabamas form a numerous group of lsianaB, cays, ana rocxs, lying on the east coast of Ivorth America. Ihere are 29 islands, (161 ays, and 2:587 rocks. The trinoinal island is New Providence, the chief town and port being xsassau. The population of the Bahamas in 1SG1 was 35,287, including whites and free colored. The reputation of this island for its salubrity and the charms of its climate, annually attracts to Nassau numbers of invalids from the United States and the British Provinces. The mean temperature during the winter months is G(5 deg. There is no Catholic church in these islands, which, in lb.r9, were placed by the Holy See under the jurisdiction, of the Bishop of Charles ton. The Very Rev. Dr. Nellcan, V. G., of the Bahamas, is at present soliciting the alms of the faithful to enable him to build a church at Nassau, N. P., which will serve as a memo rial church to Christopher Columbus, and afford the Catholics the consolations of our holy religion. The Rev. Doctor has met with much success in his appeal to the generosity of the Catholics in the British Provinces. It is to be hoppd he will meet with simitar success in Bostoi q zzz mn ' w On lue island ot St. Salvador uie cross was first planted, and there it is said the holy sacriiice of the Mass was first offered. The Catholics of America cannot be forgetful of the blessinps which they owe to the Church being established in this country, and we are sure they will aid in this work of true charity. The following letter has been written to the Very Rev. Doctor Neligan by the Right Rev. Doctor Lynch, Bishop of Charleston: Very Kev. Dear Sir: I have been much moved by ?our accuuntot the destitute coLdlilou of the Cat uti les In xsaetau, and of the good thai may be doue by proper exertions.

The Countess de Gaeparin has recently pub lished a volume entitled, "By the Seashore: Reveries of a Traveller." of which an Kngltsh translation basjust appeared, which is described as an agreeable sentimental book for the people who like sentiment, and wish to bring it to the seaside with them. The Countess de Uasparin, eajsone of her critics, "writes well, and the translator has executed his task with care and taste; but what a troublesome thing it must be for a woman to have such a soul I A steamer drives her into rhapsodies, the wind suggests unutterable things, which, nevertheless it takes time to write, are unutterable. The Countees has every wish to be a poet, without the power. She Is nice and gloomy at one moment, nice and gay at another, feminine and ladjlike always. Her volume would be a far pleasanter companion on the sands than the mustard-colored novel or small treatises on tbe private ailaiis ot shrimps and other common objects.' Thi, and more to the same purpose, may be wit, but it is certainly not criticism. "Crcsarism" and a Roman Crltls. . Napoleon said at Arras the other day: "You are right to feel confidence in the future; it is only leeble goverments which seek in foreign complications a diversion from home embar rassments." Tacitus wrote of a certain perturbed period in Roman history: "Imentiou framed the lie of the day, and Credulity stood ready to receive it." Chikese Pbovkrbs.
