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 !

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

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.

choice and ever faithful nair of friends. Th
life and letters of the great preacher, recently
published, reveal the lull beauty and impor

is equally filled with the manifestations of
varied intelligence and of congenial feeling.
Sharing all their experience in affectionate in

appeared thus to find their treasures heiclit.

for his profound scholarship, his enthusiastic

and his heroio aims, Charlotte was knit by
affinities of character and life even more closely
than by those of blood and name.

words in reference to the rtnmaa of ii

now or formerly in use may be of interest.

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-

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

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.

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

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.

Th Countess and Her Critic.
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.

Credulity stood ready to receive it."
